so ARKANSAS DIAMONDS
Shipment Made From MurfreesbOrO,
 Weighing Over I7 Carats.

Murfreesboro, Sept. GA shipment of 80 diamonds in the rough consigned to Sam Reyburn, New York, by the Ar kansas Diamond Company, was made here today. One of the stones weigh ed in the rough 17.S3 carats.
 The prospects of development of the company's field here, due to the recent reorganization with a capital of S10,- 900 10000 authorized, has caused con- siderable excitement here. Little work has been done in the field beyond oc- casional surface work, but prepara- tions are already being made for bringing on heavy machinery. The road from Murfreesboro to the Little Missouri, where the field is located, is so poor that in bad weather a team can barely negotiate it without even load, and not at all with load. Crews are at work building hard surface road over which the machinery can be hauled.

WILL GET BETTER TRANS-
 FORMATION FACILITIES
Arkansas Delegation Went to Wasi- ingtOn to Secure Better Trans.
 pOrtatiOn Facilities.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, Sept. 9.-The Arkansas delegation which went to Washington for that purpose succeeded in getting an order for the relief of the road building situation in the state.
 The delegation consisted of State Highway Commissioner w B. Owen, George Firmin, G. J Wizard, Corpora tion Commissioner T. E. Wood, J. T. Terrall and Chas. Conway, the latter being of Texarkana.
 It was found that the order which had been issued regarding the diver sion of cars from the hauling of road material to the exclusive hauling of coal, was not what it was thought to. be. It developed that the read order Was that all cars possible above 10 tons capacity be used for coal, The regional directors had interpreted the order to mean that all cars of 40 tons and above should be used for coal.
 Orders were issued to the regional directors to provide, as far as possible, for the sportation of road mater ial. It is the desire of the government to foster highway constructor lii every way possible, and to throw no unnecessary obstacles in the way
 The delegation was greatly pleased by the success of their visit. The question of a proposed increase in rates was not disposed of, but negot- iations regarding it are still pending with the authorities.

PERSHING IS HOME, HAIL.
 ED AS CON0UERING HERO
Pershing Was Greeted by aa Large Crowd of Enthusiastic Admirers
 as Boat DOcked.

New York, Sept, S. - Pershing is home again Standing on the bridge of the huge Levicthan, itself symbolic of victory over Germany, the com mander of the greatest host ever gath cred under the stars and stripes, came, slowly up the bay today, world-famed and hailed as a conquering hero should be.
 Stern and impasive, splendid fig ure of soldier, he might have been thinking, as the familiar landmarks of New York came into view, of the day 27 months ago, when he slipped secret ly out of the harbor on his way to France to prepare the way for the hosts that were to follow. Then he was only major general.
 He came back today with four stars on his shoulders-the fourth man since Washington to wear them under the American flag.
 The welcome given him would have uuickened the pulse of the hero of a Roman triumph. Fresh from the capi- tals of allied Europe where honors had been heaped upon him, it remained for New York to show the first American to lead an army across the Atlantic that nome sweet home,' has mean ing deeper than Hail to the chief V
 No foreign throars could voice the cheers, no alien hearts could pulse the greeting that was General Pershings S here today There was hint of tears in the welcome for those who gave it past the quarantine and nosed through grateful people could banish from the sad faced soldiers mind the memory of his own life's tragedy.
 Guns Boom Salute.
 Dawn barely had broken when the Leviathan loomed through the mists off Ambrose channel lightship. Steam ing slowly through the narrow passa- geway, the great steamship was greet ed by convoy of ix destroyers, while seaplanes circled overhead. The forts which guard the harbOr bOOmed a generals salute as the ship which once was the pride of Germany crept past the Quarantine and nosed through the narrOws into the harbOr under the shadow of the statute of Liberty. While the guns still echoed, the whist les of merchant vessels from the seven seas, sturdy tugs, gaily decorated ferry boats, excursion craft of every kind, and the sirens of factories on shore joined in discordant salutatiOn.
 The shores of Staten Island, Brook lyn, New Jersey and Manhatten were lined with thousands whose shouts of greeting came faintly across the wat CTS of the bay to the familiar figure on the bridge. They made up the van guard of the vast army of welcOmers who had already packed Battery Park and overflowed into the streets be- yond.
 Waiting until General Pershing had been greeted by Vice President Mar shall and the secretary of war and was ready to cross the river to the great city that was eager to pay him tri- bute. the great liner came up to her pier at o'clock and as she wa,s being

ASKD0WH SCHOOL OPENS
 WITH LARGE ATTENDANCE
Splendid Opening Program - Record Breaking Number of Patrons At-
 tended Opening Monday.

The Ashdown Public and High Schools opened Monday morning with the largest attendance in it's history, and with the most favorable outlook for successful year, It was estimat- ed that the first days enrolment would reach 400. One of the most healthful indications marking the op- ening was the increased attendance of patrons. On the school grounds was parked large number of automobiles, the appearance of which would have led a stranger to believe that some unusual event was taking place on the inside of the building, which would have been correct conclusion. It is the best proof possible that the people of Ashdown are interested in the fu- lures of their children and young peo- pie. They are proud of their school proud of what 1t has accomplished and anxious to demonstrate their interest in what it may accomplish in the future
 The opening address was made by Prosecuting Attorney A. D. DuLaney MT. DuLaney is interested in schools and in the y6ung life of the land In his official capacity he comes more frequently in contact with the results of a lack of proper moral and intellec- tual training. He made a tclk that was helpful and appealing to the high who heard him.
 Prof. T. T. c. Anderson, represen- tative from this county, and the oldest school man in point of actual service, was greeted with applause as he arose to speak Prof. Anderson came to this county in 1882, and until this year has been continually in the school room. He has taught for 52 years, and is one of the teachers who grew and developedswith the times. He told of school conditions in Little River county when he came here. There was one school building in the county and nine white schools in the entire county without buildings. He compared the conditions and advantages then with those of today.
 A. P. Steel was called upon to fill the place of his father, Judge J. s. Steel, who was ill He said that he was not accustomed to much speaking because his father talked so much while he was growing up that he never had a chance then. He married early and his opportunities for talking had mt been the best since. He loosened a lot of bottled up talk with ideas that seemde not to have suffered from SUD- pression.
 County Examiner L., F. Wheelis was called on and responded with most talk calculated to improve the morale of the pupils during the daily routine of school life. Two great essentials, he said, was to keep well and in a good humor It reflects both on the teacher and pupil and brought harmony and the spirit for work.
 Rev, s. K Burnett made short but spirited address to the pupils and pat rons. He said that the opening of school and commencement were two great events which interested him greatly He spoke in high terms of .he superintendent and faculty,

Promise to Lower Rates
Under Private Ownership

Washington, Aug. 2S.-After the re-
turn of the railroads TO private opera
ton, the rate question will be n OF
reduction rather than increase, Chas
Elmquist, president of the Nationai
Association Of Railway and Utility
Commissioners, told the house inter-
state committee on railroad
reorganization.
Mr.. Elmquist said the question
would not be one of Increasing the
rates, but Of reducing them so as TO
permit the greatest flow OF traffic. lie
added that the carriers would be re-
turned to private management under
the highest level Of rates ever known
and that they would not be in n
danger of bankruptcy without aid from
the government.
Views of the state commissioners
on the railroad problem were present
ed to the committee by Mr.. Elmquist.
The committee also heard today the
protest of Great Lakes ship wners
and their representatives against pro-
posed railroad reorganization legisla-
ton directing the interstate commerce
commission to take jurisdiction over
port-to-port rates or tramp boats.
