Fine Send-off at the Train
After the supper had been enjoyed,
speeches made, and half-hour's visit
with the boys who were leaving, the
big crowd, led by the Band and the
Home Guards, went to the station,
where the roll call was the signal for
the entrainment of the men. The
Polk county contingent was in charge
Of Mr.. Otto Skipper. of Barlow, cou
sin of R. N. Skipper, of this city, and
a benedict of only few days, having
taken unto himself lovely bride on
the Fourth of July.
Lakeland Boys Leaving
Among the Lakeland contingent
leaving last night were Messrs. Will
Sammon, Clarence Smith and Renton
Swindel. OF course there were a
good mant more, but these were the
ones best known to the larger part OF
the crowd. OF this number, Will
Sammon was the principal ring lead
err performer, his antics at the train
keeping the crowd in an uproar, as
| he would bid first one and then an
other goodbye. kissing all the good
looking girls he could reach as the
train was ready to pull out, and ever
| embracing one of the band boys FOL
his excellent music. Will is very
popular and will be greatly missed
as will all the boys from Lakeland.
Band Played and Crowd Cheered

the trainshed cheers rent the air, ant
with the sound of music in the air

ThelConstitutiOn

Little Rock, Aug. 8.-One of
the important measures adopt
ed by the Constitutional Con-
vention was that increasing the
Supreme Court to seven jurists,
to sit in two divisions and en-
banc. This, it is thought, will
relieve the Supreme Court and
enable them to give appealed
cases more prompt attention
than formerly.
Another important article a
dopted was that which provieds
for common pleas cdsEts~and
fixes the qualifications the
judge of the court of cNlmon
pleas.
The prosecuting attorneys
were put on a salary, the a
mount of which has not been
fixed.
The plan submitted to the
Convention which provides
that the county judge should
be a lawyer failed to adopt.
An effort was again made to
abolish the chancery court, but
this again failed. A number
claimend that the circuit courts
had nothing to do and could
easily handle the business of
the chancery court, but the
ued and the chancery and cir
cult court districts left as they
are at present.
An effort was made to cut
dawn the number of justices
of the peace so as to have on
ly one in each township, but
this, too, failed. The only
change made was to provide
for one justice of the paace for
each 200 electors, after giving
each township at least two JUS
tices of the peace; this was
changed to 400 so as to provide
for the woman vote and leave
is.
A motion to abolish the office
of collector and treasurer was
made, but the motion to abolish
The office of collector fell dawn
and the motion to abolish the
office of county treasurer is
still pending.
Regarding compensation for
delegates to the convention,
many contend that inasmuch
as the representatives of the
people provided for a constitu-
tional convention, they should
provide for the pay of the del
egates. The people never in
tended that tie delegates work
