to kick.

COSTELLO DIES OF
 WOUNDS

Reports from Newport yes terday afternoon said that Costello died in jail Tuesday night from wounds received in the fight with Martinez.
 Costello was slashed about the head and face and was stabbed three times in the back. At first it was not thought that his wounds were serio us but it developed that he had received internal in- juries which caused his death.
 Papers found on Costello showed that he had been par doned from the Texas peniten- tiary for murder committed in that state several years ago, the pardon having been issued January 25, 1918.

S3O,OOO,OOO ROAD
 BILL INTRODUCED
Measure Provides For System of Improved Highways
 Covering Entire State

A bill providing for ESQ., 000,000 bond issue to build system of state highways was introduced in the legislature Tuesday by Senator CAV Falls of Lonoke.
 The bill provides for sys- tenn of highways to be planned by the State Highway Commits sion, to connect the principal cities and towns and the coun- ty seats of Arkansas. Ajax of 2 IA mills on the dollar is to be levied on all the proper ty in the state, which shall be paid into a sinking fund for the payment of principal and interest of bonds amounting to S30,000,000 which may be is- sued under the provisions of the bill.
 In addition to the general tax, there is also an automobile license tax of $20 per annum levied on all automobiles and motor vehicles used on the roads of the state. Of this amount $10 is to be paid into the sinking fund and $1O into the Highway Improvement fund. Half of the proceeds of the $30,000,000 bond issue will be apportioned to the counties of the state of the population of each county to the popula- tion of the state, according to the census next proceeding the allotment. Half of the pro- ceeds of the bond sales will be subject to the disposal of the Highway Commission for use in constructing the principal roads of the state, and in fur nishing state aid and securing federal aid for the county roads and improvement dis tricts in the various counties.

LEGISLATURE PASSES
 NEW GINNING LAW
Is Great Improvement Over Old Law Which Was Very
 Unpopular

Every farmer and cotton ginner in the state will be glad to learn of the passage of the Hartsfield bill, No. B, by the 42nd General Assembly. This bill amends Sections, T, 8, 10, 19, 42, 45, 46 and 50 and re- peals Acts of 1917 known as the Bonded Warehouse, Mar keting and Gin regulating law.
 The Hartsfield Bill was a compromise measure agreed upon at a conference between Dr. Sands, president of the Farmers Union and W. J. Har- tsfield, president of the Gin ner's Association. By it's pro visions all of the objectional features of the law as regards cotton ginners have been re- pealed and all of the good fea- lures have been preserved for the benefit of the farmer.
 The parts of the law repeal ed were those compelling the ginner to secure a bond from some indemnity company be- fore starting their seasons bus mess, the sampling clause which forced the ginner to draw two samples from every bale ginned and the section attaching a heavy penalty en the ginner fro his failure to c imply with the provisions of the law. All these objectional features have been absolutely striken out in the Hartsfield act and all that is required of the ginner is to procure a li- cense which is issued without charge, and attach a tag which will cost two and half cents each and will serve as means of identification and absolutely prevent the loss of bale of cotton.

GOVERNMENT TO SELL
 PICRIC ACID PLANT
Plant at Little Rock Which Cost Eight Million Dollars
 Was Not Used

The dismantling and salvag- ing of the picric acid plant at Little Rock is to be undertak- en at once under the direction of Captain w. w. Harris of the War eDpartment.
 Captain Harris is to have full power to dispose of such parts of the plant as are ready salable to the greatest advan- tage.
 This is to include machinery and equipment and even the buildings, if in his judgment adequate prices are offered for them.
 The picric acid plant at Lit tie Rock as it stands, repre- sents an expenditure by the government of something more than S8,000,0O0, and it is re- cognized that in salvaging it a large amount will have to be marked eff.
 This plant at Little Rock was established to take care of certain British and French contracts for picric acid, the product which was favored by those nations for loading of high explosive shells. The plant was never used as the war ended about the time the plant was completed.

LOCAL CASE AFFIRMED
 BY SUPREME COURT

The case of Jack Gipson vs. Ada Holmes, appealed from the Independence Chancery Court, was modified and af- firmed by the supreme court last Monday.
 The supreme court held that Ada Holmes should have judg- ment against Jack Gipson, her step-father, for $146.95, rep resenting her interest in the rental value of her fathers homestead while she was still a minor, for which she receiv- ed no compensation at the time she deeded her interest to Gip- son for a nominal amount, but that she is not entitled to re- cover any interest in insurance money collected on a house which was destroyed by fire the insurance contract having been entered into by Gipson for his own benefit.
 J. R. Alexander of this place was attorney for Mrs. Holmes.

MEXICAN IS KILLED
 IN DRUNKEN FIGHT
Bootleg Whiskey Causes Fatal Fight Between Two Mex
 jeans at Swifton

Louis Costello, aged about 30, is in the the Jackson coun- ty jail at Newport, charged with murdering Francisco Mar tinez at Swifton last Saturday morning about two o'clock.
 Both men are Mexicans and the killing was the result of too much bootleg booze.
 An inquest was held Satur- day by Coroner Henry Grant of Jacksonport, the coroner's jury recommending that Cos telle be held to the grand jury without bail.
 Both mexicans went to Swif- ton recently and engaged themselves as section hands in the employ of the Misso ouri-Pa a. cific railroad. Friday night the men procured whiskey and soon became drunk. Costello claims he attempted to subdue Martinez, who grew boisterous he says, and attacked him with a knife.
 They were in a boarding railroad car, there being oth- CTS present, and during the diff fieulty all lights were extin- guished, after which the Mexi- cans attacked one another for a period of several minutes with knives. Martinez was stabbed several times in the breast and back, and Costello received ugly and painful slashes about the head and face, though his condition was not rendered serious. Marti- neg died soon after receiving the fatal wounds.
 Evidence produced at the trial showed that both Mexi- cans were drunk and there is a diversion of opinion as to which was the agressor.
 The whiskey consumed by the Mexicans is said to have been taken to Swifton and sold them by George Smith, a New port negro, who was later ar rested and placed in jail at Newport.
