 It was my pleasure to spend night recently at the home of our Ferndale correspondent Mrs Prothro is a very busy person. She has a large family of children. a charming grown daughter and son and another inter- esting daughter about grown. The two older have received good educa- tions and the others are being well educated. Mir and Mrs. Prothro also take an active interest in all eommun- ity anairs. Mrs Prothro writes most interesting farm news and has also sent in large numbers subscribers and her interest in the Pulaskian is high Iy appreciated. I wish all correspond ents would aid as much in extending the circulation of the Pulaskian.

I took the wrong end of the road and went into Little Rock from here. Wednesday afternoon I got on Bid dle street car and from the end Of the track I walked over the Confede- rate boulevard to Sweet Home. This is the best pike have yet found out of Little Rock On either side of the pike is TOW of sweet gum trees and for two miles it runs through a very pretty woodland. Then l heard blasting and came to where some col pred men were digging reddish col ored clay with white specks in it and loading it on wagons. It is bauxite and I have been told it sells for $40 ton. The company digging it has paid $5,000 for the privilege of dig eing 5000 tons off one acre. When they get the 5000 tons off they are to pay a dollar ton for the rest. This acre is at the entrance to Fourche Mountain Poultry Farm, where l saw more pretty white chickens than ] ever saw before.

Just a little further on ! came to the Confederate Soldiers Home. C.. P. Newton, superintendent, showed me all through the institution He is the right man in the right place and the old soldiers say it is properly named Sweet Home. They speak in the highest terms of their treatment and appear to be one big happy family
 There are about ITO of them there and it is very badly crowded. Work will commence at once in doubling the size of the hospital building, which will make of it very beautiful struc- ture. The home has the incest straw berry patch I have seen. They will have strawberries to sell. They also sell ice to the dairymen. l shall write more about it later, but l am truly glad that the old soldiers are treated so kindly by the State of Arkansas.

A young man. who had been reject ed last year for the military service applied to the naval recruiting station last week and was accepted. He was very much disappointed, as he had al ready had a nice story framed up to tell his girl about how hard he had tried to enter his country's service, but was rejected. Uncle Sam wants men now and can't afford to be too particular.

oblivion. Governor Ferguson is serv-
Ing his second term.
The governor hadn't been in office
long until business" began to pick
up. Some say he has been a good
governor; others deny it. An attempt
10 impeach him was made last
March. The proceedings alleged that
the governor Incorporated public
funds from the legislative appropria-
tons for maintenance Of the execu-
tive mansion by purchasing items for
personal use and charging the same
to the state. The governor was ex-
onerated by a legislative committee.
Now the university question is stir
ring the state.
From time to time during the last
two years it is said the governor has
charged the university management
with dishonesty, extravaganza and
misapplication of funds; the faculty
Of being "'two-bit thieves" and liars;
the student body of disloyalty, trea-
son and snobbery; that he has found
more corruption in the University Of
Texas than in all other departments
of the government; that the uni
versity is full of disloyalty; that it is
a rich mans school and that it is
robbing the people.
Doesn't Like "Frats."
Friends of the university are fight
ing back. They say the trouble is
personal. The governor has demand
ed that the board of regents dismiss
members of the faculty, including
the president, they assert, and will
not ask the legislature for a thor
ough investigation of the university
and it's management. The students
and faculty of the university petit
toned the legislature to make a full
investigation of all matters pertain
ing to the university. While these
requests were pending before the
senate the governor advised it that
he did not consider further investi-
cation necessary"
A definite campaign against the
governor has been organized. Sup
porters of the school fear that an
agreement between the governor and
the board of regents will allow the
school to continue on the issue of
emergency warrants with the gov
ernor's approval, thus allowing the
state executive to do as he pleased
with the school. The governor does
not like college fraternities. they say.
AS matters stand now the university
cannot open next fall.
Yet Governor Ferguson's admins
tration has gone down in history as
the one that first passed the Texas
compulsory education bill.

Governor Turned Down
Appropriations, Charging
"Silk Stocking" Affair

The University of Texas may be
forced to close its doors because the
governor of that state has refused to
allow any appropriations for the uni
versity for the next two years. The
governor declares the university is
a school for rich mems sons and
daughters, and that he will not toler-
ate it any longer. Some people are
! going hog Wild over education, he
says.
The governor of Texas is James E.

He rose from cowpuncher and lum-
Der jack to the governors chair.
| Governor Ferguson was born in
Texas, on a farm. After a common
school education he started out to
make his own way. He drifted about

boy could do. He farmed, punched
cows, worked in mines and on
wharves as a laborer and as a lum-

Two years later James E. Fergu-
son hung out his shingle to practice
in the courts. While waiting for
practice he did collection business
in small way. His business grew
and in a short time he had organized

Fishermen Meet Tragic
Fate While Examining
German Find
(Bv Associated Press,


Galway, Ireland, July 16. - Nine
pieces few days ago while examin-
ing O German barrel mine" which
they had found at sea and towed
ashore.
Irish fishermen have made lately a
great many lucky hauls of barrels
containing petrol, tallow, oils and
similar treasures. supposedly from
torpedoed ships This time they saw
promising looking barrel afoat
some distance from land. with a con-
venient handle on each side, and they
promptly towed it ashore, rolling 1t
UP on the beach for examination.
Four men were in the boat. and
six more gathered around while the
prize was on the beach. One man,
OF danger, and warned the others,
but they paid no attention to him,
and he hid himself behind a rock.
One of the fishermen removed a
couple of screws from the head of
the barrel, and then began to pull
out a piece of cord. The explosion
which followed was heard miles
away, and shook houses four miles
distant.
After a time O'Flaherty, who had
been wounded in the head with a
piece of stone, stood up, but not a
trace of the mine or the men was
to be seen. There was only a great
hole in the beach. Searchers found
a portion of the fishermen's boat
nearly a mile away. A small boy
whose attention was attracted to the
group Of men on the shore was run
ming toward them just as the mine
exploded. One of his arms was after
wards found near his home, but there
was no other trace of him.
