the statement made by Mr. Hanna that MIR.
Poole made the sixth hole at the old Allstcn
course in one stroke on two successive days,
as happened to be playing with Mr.. Poole
on both of these occasions. The first time
he made the hole the ball trickled into the
cup after striking near the green, and the
next day his ball struck the green about
ten feet short of the hole, took one bou:d
ana struck the flag, which was standing out
In a crosswind. and dropped from the flag
directly into the hole and stayed there l

Waiter j. Travis, who is well posted, as you
know, on the history of such matters, he
stated that he had never heard of any such
occurrence. This second day was one of
strange Incidents as I myself. upon driving
from the second tee, hit a negro on the top
OF the head, who was at least 10 yards
in front of me. and off the line. as you may
imagine, and he never even turned around
TO see where the ball came from, but walked
on ahead as If nothing had happened. My
ball bounded from the caddie's head behind
the clubhouse, which was low gabled roof
affair, and | made one of my best shots by
playing over the clubhouse TO the green
about eight feet from the hole, thereby win

FORMER MENA BOY HURT.

The Arkansas Gazette of Monday tells af the injury of one of the Ga zeg carrier boys, who was former
 resident of Mena. The carrier in mestion is Russell Garner, the ann of Nr. and Mrs. W. A. Garner, who lived in Mena while Mr. Garner was in the forest service. In this connection it will also interest MT. Gamers friends to learn that he IS now employed in the engineering de- .nartment of the State Highway De- partment. The story of Russells ln- jury is as follows
 "Russell Garner, route carrier Tor the Gazette. sustained spralned iankle and several cuts on his head when he was hit by an auto driven by Roy Wood, near the Deaf-Mute Institute, yesterday afternoon . Young Garner jumped from the left side of an inbound Pulaski Heights car in front of Mr. Woods auto. The glass in one of the headlights on the auto was broken when the auto mt him and cut his hand.

 MORE ANTI-HIGHWAY TALK.

The Star is again giving much space. and considerable value in the cost of typesetting, to MT. Joe finders of Hatfield, in order that he may explain his opposition to the proposed Jefferson Highway. We also have received several columns of like matter from another source 10 which we no not feel disposed to give space, nor the expense to set in type.
 In this matter The Star is in very much the same position as it would be toward a fight on our schools, our churches, tick eradication, or better farming propaganda. To a reasonable extent it feels like giv- ing hearing to anyone on any sub ject but there is limit in the mat ter of giving space and money to oppose enterprises that the eoun- Iry's hest minds believe to be right and worthy.
 Mir. finders has good deal 10 say about asking farmers to give one third of their land to build the road He should keep in mind that the organization of the district is based on one-third the ASSESSED valua- ton, not one-third the REAL value. He has a good deal to say about his liberality toward dipping vats, churches, etc. And The Star knows Mir Anders is just that kind of man But we would not be sur prised if he was as much opposed to dipping vats few years ago as he is to inc highway today. If he was moi, there are others who were, and are and only a day or so ago good man complained that The Star did not show up the fallacy and fool- ishness of dipping cattle to kill the ticks.
 Mr. Anders complains about the of the highway plan, but he does not make himself very clear. There are four methods open under the law by which the people are supposed to form a district, il tho majority in valuation, 2 majority in acres. 3 majority in number of legal voters. [ majority in number of land owners. The latter is con eeded to be the hardest io obtain, the fairest, and is the one the Polk county district is proposing to use. ihs Star does not know what meth cd Mr. Anders would prefer In smier county the majority in value was the basis, and il made t very easy for the promoters of the pro- iect
 t will be noted that in his arti- ele this week Mr Anders makes noI reference to his arguments in last issue nor the answer made to them.
