THE "LAW" IS HELD
Deputy Sherihi Held on Charge of
 Wildcatting Whiskey.

Texarkana, Sept. 19-Andrew J. Burgess, deputy sheriff at Fouke. was arrested yesterday on warrant charging him with wild eating" and having in his possession a still for the manufacture of moonshine whiskey. He furnished bond for $1.OOO for his appearance before United States Com missioner Hudspeth on October A.
 James F. Mudd and William Os wald, two farmers arrested near FOuke Sunday morning on charges of operating stills were held for the ac tion of the Federal Grand Jury at their hearing yesterday. Each of them furnished bond for $500.
 South of Fouke, where the illicit stills are said to have been found, is thinly settled section bounded on one side by the Sulphur river, and very inaccessible in places. Complaints have been made for several years that whiskey was being made in that quar- ter, and since prohibition went into effect, it is said the industry has grown and developed to a remarkable 1 degree.

system. the 126 miles of interurban steel mills, countless industrial plants and thousands of industries for miles around are run by water-power that a few years ago was wasting.
 Although Birmingham is not getting the fullest measure of benefit from hydro-electric power, the development directly and solely due to harness1ng the streams of Alabama has been little short of marvellous.
 yThe iron and steel Industry here has made this section internationally fa- nous. Cheap power made the devel- opment of this great naturally resurce possible.
 "It is astonishing to me- said Charles H. Nesbitt. chief mine inspec- tor of Alabama. that Arkansas isn't a great power producer and shipper of coal, taken out of mines here, operated by hydro electric power. You have the advantage of location. You have Texas and your own consumers for a market, but your coal industry is not one-tenth what it should be. In Ala bama it ranks third, cotton being first and iron and steel second"

R. Q. Shaefer Urges HarneSSing of the WaterWays in the State
 of Arkansas.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 20.-Some of the Ala bama men I have interview ed realize more keenly the great op- Dortunites that lie in Arkansas than most Arkansas people.
 h,ngIis,men came to Alabama 10 or 15 years ago and saw the oppOrtuni- ties here. Had they come to Little eek instead of Birmingham, Arkan- seS might rank differently as a manu- featuring and industrial center. Eng lish capital harnessed the Coosa river and other streams of Alabama. Wat CT power is turning the wheels of in dustry along nearly 2,000 miles of electric transmission lines in Alaba- ma.

Twelve million dollars is large figure when compared with what we have been doing heretofore, Dr. D. B. Gray, corresponding secretary of the HCme Mission Board at Atlanta, de- clares, but it is very reasonable in comparison with our ability and small in comparison with the needs of the Home Mission fields'
 Setting forth the particular obliga- tior which confronts America since the war has transferred the center of education from Europe to this coun- try, Dr. Gray says: This brings a new day of opportunity and responsi- bility to our people. Our schools and colleges must te strengthened and en- dowed They must be made thorough ly christian in fact as well as in the- cry. In this way We are to counteract the vicious ideals of Germany and her allies in the world war. Our youth must be trained on proper lines as to religion and ethics. This can be done hest in our denominational schools"
 Some of the educational institutions fcsterad by the Home Mission Board are the forty mountain schools, serv. ing 3,000,00 residents of the South living in mountainous territory where public hiGh schools are lacking. Fully S10.000,000 could be used to advantage in strengthening the equipment and teaching force of these schools, it is estimated, so great is the need
 Another demand of the home field is the 4,000 church organizations in the South which need assistance in the erection of suitable houses of wOr- ship, while Elore pressing still is the problem created by the presence in the South of l0,000,000 negroes Speak ing of the negro problem, Dr. Gray says; They are of more vital col. eern to us than any hundred millions 0' people any where else in the world Socially, politically, economically and religiously they constitute our great est task and we neglect them at our 0W'l peril as well as their infinite l1ss. Racial relations are tense and the sit pation calls upon Southern Bapai ,t5 for worthy program in behalf of the religious uplift of our brothers in black. We mus lead them in sane missionary and evangelistic work and likewise in the development of their religious life on sane and helpful lines. We need large company of the best, wisest and strongest negro evangelist and teachers who shall help us to lift up their race anG make them worthy and worth while as Christian citizens
 That work among the foreigners in the homeland offers the best and most economical opportunity for missionary labors among them anywhere, is tha declaration of the Home Mission lead CTS. These foreigners are In the fields, mines and factories and are vital part Of eur civilization. This work among he foreigners not oniy z yes them the chris ian religion, oat makes them more contented and bet ter American citizens, it is pointed cut.
 Great hopes for the future of the churches in the South are held out in Ih& enlarged program of evangelism ard enlistment which the Baptist 10 Million Campaign will make possible. The Home Board hopes to win from 300 000 to 590,000 people in the South who are not elristians during the De. riod of the campaign.

FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF
 SEATS IS PROMISED
Officials Will Try to Divide the Tickets Equally Over the State, to Hear
 President Wilson.

Little Rock, Sept. 21-Board of Commerce officials have issued statement regarding the allotment of seats in Liberty Hall when President Wilson speaks there Sept 3mber 27. They say that some plan will be devis- ed for distributing the tickets left for Little Rock. at meeting of the Board Monday night.
 Their statement follows:
 "The chairmen of the Board of Commerce committees in charge of various details of President Wilson's trip are working uneasily in thcir efforts to afford every one an oppor- tunity to at least have a good vie Y of the presidential party, and to al low every person who can possibi do so safely to crowd into Liberty hall to hear his address.
 Parade to Cover 70 Blocks.
 "In the matter of parade, this hes betn extended over 70 blocks of bust nes, and residence streets. to ,nab,o thousands of people to greet the presi- dent and plainly view the party The extended parade is made on account of the request of Secretary Humility that there be no reception at the sta tion His request limits the deo0- committee to very few, only enousa to accompany the official party over the parade and to Liberty hall
 "The speaking will begin at about 2:15 D. m. The route of the 45 min ute parade has not yet been determin- ed, but probably will include the south side resident district and the Main street business district
 Tn connection with the speech at Liberty Hall the committees are hav- ing their troubles. Every effort was made to secure an open air meeting but Secretary Tumulty's instructions were clear and concise, that only an indoor meeting could be held and that only where acoustics were good. There fore, Liberty hall is Our-Cnly place. The Little Rock Board of Commerce is charged with every detail. It's com mittees are meeting daily and the entire board of governors is sitting as the general advisory committee u whom all arrangements are submitted for approval before being put into effect
 Attempts to Be Fair.
 The hardest problem is that Of devising fair ways of taking care of those who wish to hear the presi- dent It is sincerely to be regretted that We have not an auditorium car pable of seating 10000 people, We first thought of taking the seats out of Liberty hall and allowing the audi ence to stand, thus accommodating several thousand more, but this was thought to be dangerous As this visit of the president is statewide in inter- est and significance, we decided at once to set aside ,000 tickets for the state, outside of Little ,Cck, and these tickets will be given out by lot tery. Next to be considered are the representative of labor, the legisla- tors, state, county, city &11 federal officials, the official reception commit tees, working committees, negro re- presentation, The remainder of the to some plan to be determined Monday night at meeting of the Board of Governors of the Board of Commerce. ,
