 Conflicting Acts.

Little Rock, Aug. 25.--In reply to a question by Boone county road com- missioner, Attorney General Arbuckle rules that the act passed by the last legislature requiring commissioners to make report in detail of all the work done and money expended, does not repeal the provisions of the Alexan- der road law which requires road com missioners to make an annual report of expenditures with checks and vouchers filed with the county court
 The Alexander act, number 338 of 1915 provides that this report must be filed annually by the commission CTS of all districts organized under the act and refers to no other dis tricts. Act number 151 of 1919 is a

CARELESS PICKING
 OF COTTON COSTLY
10 SELL HERE ON MERIT
Day of Paying the Top for All Kinds Has Passed in Conway,
 Buyers Declare.

As the time for gathering the 1920 crop of cotton is approaching, cotton buyers are sounding a note of warning to farmers, urging upon
 them the importance of clean pick ing.
 The system which prevailed in the local market for many years prior to the 1919-20 season of paying a uniform price for all cotton brought to the city on given day has for ever passed, a leading buyer declar- ed today. Under that system the man who carelessly picked his cotton and failed to have it cleaned at the gin, bringing it in full of trash, re- ceiVed more than his product was worth, while the man who kept his cotton free of trash and had it prop erly ginned suffered by receiving less 1t was worth-as, of course, when the buyers were paying an average price for all they paid too much for the poor cotton and too little for the better grades.
 Last season, however, there was a noticeable tendency to break away from the system and cotton was sold here more nearly on it's merits than ever before. This year. the buyers declare, there will be a still more strict classification and grading of cotton.
 "Never before was there such difference in the basis between grades below middling and those above middling as prevailed last year." this cotton buyer said today. And it appears that the same con dition will again exist this year. The difference between low middling and strict middling today is that the low middling is practically unsala- ble at any price, while the strict mid ding will bring big prem um over Careful picking and prop CT ginning will bring practically al Faulkner county cotton to middlirg or better and it will mean thousands of dollars in the pockets of the far merS"

general act referring to the commis- sioners of all road districts, drainage and improvement districts of every kind, created in the state where bonds are sold. The latter act does not re- peal the former. The act of 1919 provides for an itemized report to be filed, but nothing is said about the settlement and there is no pro- vision requiring gthe county court to approve the settlement or report, as as there is in the act of 1915. Gen eral Arbuckle says:
 Since there is no clause in the subsequent act specifically repeating the former act the former act must stand unless the terms and provis- ions of the subsequent act are in con- travention to the former act and in addition there are certain reduire- ments contained in the former act not contained or required in the lat ter act that is, that the county court of the county shall disallow all un- just charges and credits if such there be-"
 You are therefore advised that, under the terms and provisions of the two acts and for the reasons cited above, both acts should stand as valid and in full force and effect While it may work some hardships on dis tricts organized under the Alexander road law, yet at the same time the two acts must stand until proper OF repeal can be had'

WAUCHULA HAS
SHIPPED 81 CARS
Of VEGETABLES

This week will practically close
the vegetable shipping season in Wau-
chula and up TO yesterday three nun
bred and eleven carloads OF vegeta-
bles had left Wauchula station TINS
yead. Generally speaking, the price
of cucumbers, which made up the
bulk of the shipments were good, but
that of beans fell off early in the
game. The bean growers have prac-
tlcally stopped shipping and cucum
bers are bringing fancy prices the
best of them selling at 81 per crate
at the station yesterday.
The truckers this season have mao
much to contend with. Never was
there a spring which brought as
much unfavorable weather and thea
the railroad service was such ina
there was never any telling how tnt
products would reach the markets
In short, this spring was as near
crop failure as ever recorded in tn
Wauchula section and yet most o
the truckers have made some none.
and some good money, some los
money.
Watermelons will begin to NOV
from .Wauchula in carload lots tn
latter part of the week. -Wauchul

GLOOM APPARENT.

NEW YORK, Aus lg.-The gloom
cast over baseball generally by the un-
timely death of Ray Chapman, short
stop of the Cleveland team, was APP
parent at the Polo grounds yesterday
when the Indians and Yankees resumed
their series to battle for the leader
ship OF the American league. Chap
mans death was more deeply impressed
upon the spectators by the flag at the
Polo grounds flying at half mast and
the bands OF mourning worn on the
left sleeves Of the uniforms of both
teams out of respect for the dead play
err The fans paid tribute to Chap
mans memory by applauding Harry
Lunte, his successor when he first
came to bat.
There was much curiosity in the
stands during the preliminary practice
Of the clubs as to whether Carl Mays,
Yankee pitcher whose unfortunate
throw caused the fatal injury to Chap
man, would appeRf on the field, but
he was not in uniform and it was said
he was not at the grounds.
Although the game was closely con
tested throughout, there was not the
same enthusiasm that has been mani
tested at contests between the clubs
since they became Contenders for the
pennant. Players of both teams seemC'
to lack the dash and shirt that might
be expected from clubs fighting for the
leadership.
