POLK COUNTY HIT.

The decision of the Supreme Court in invalidating the acts of the recent special legislative session gives Polk county something of setback in it's road plans. There were three districts affected, one from the Oklahoma line to Mena, one from Mena to the Mont gomery county line, and the third from Wickes to Baker Springs.
 The big north and south project, while validated by the special session, was also by the Supreme Court de- clared legally formed under the pro- visions of the Alexander law, and is not, therefore affected by the recent decision.
 As it is announced that Governor Trough will at once take steps tn re- convene the legislature and thus make it possible for the people interested to go on with the road improvements contemplated. In the meantime it is said plans are being made to finance the preliminary work, and thus avoid delay that would otherwise result.
 Incidentally that special session now declared illegal because not prop erly called, cost Arkansas taxpayers SAT ,000, pretty good price to pay for someone's carelessness or ignorance.

BRITISH ADVANCE IN AFRICA
Plan to Open Country Which the Huns
Had Picked az Worthy OF
Exploitation.

Railway development In Africa is
evidently to be prosecuted with vigOr.
At any rate. preliminaries are under
discussion for q branch railway into
Ruanda from the trunk line that Ger
man engineers had but just completed
from the Indian ocean to Lake Tangan-
yika. The new line will advance Into
country where the war In Europe
probably saved the natives from Ger
man attack. Ruanda had remained an
undeveloped part of the German pos
session, but had been examined and
written down as particularly worth
while to develop for the variety Of Its
products. The new railway had
brought German military force within
striking distance, and the history OF
German management In Africa gives
every reason to believe that the open.
ing up OF the Ruanda country would
have been disaster for the Watuss
who inhabit it, From the Britlsh
viewpoint, these natives are to be con-
ciliated rather than antagonized. They
are, In fact, one OF the superior races
OF Africa, held to be related to the
Egyptians, Assyrians, or some other
ancient African people, and should be
benefited rather than injured by the
coming of the iron horse and the
opening up of their country under
British auspices.-Christian Science
