The year 1919 set a new record in
legislative activity for the state. A
greater quantity of statutory law
was enacted, and more sessions OF
the General Assembly were held than
ever before. A total of 983 acts
were passed, or about 1000 pages,
at a regular sixty day session and
two extraordinary sessions. A de-
cision of the Supreme Court on De-
cember nullified all but three gen.
eral acts passed by the second ex-
ira session, on the ground that be-
ing special or local acts sufficient
time had not elapsed from the time
of the call by the Governor and the
converting of the session to give the
notice required by the Constitution
This made necessary a call for a
third extraordinary session, called
on Dec. 8, to convene on January 20
to pass remedial and curative as vel
as original legislation for roads
drainage and school districts. The
regular session, January 13 to Marcel
10, passed 500 acts covering 2,76(
pages. Ninety per cent of these was
good roads legislation creating i'm
provement districts. The first ex
ira session lasted three days, Jul.
$3.50. being called for the specific
purpose of ratifying the Nationa
Woman Suffrage amendment, which
was done by an almost unsnimou
vote. The demand for remedial roa,
acts became so strong that Governo
Brough on September Is, called al
extra session to convene Septembe
tober, enaeting 281 local acts an,

The race for Secretary of State is

become almost as much sought after
&c that of Governor. There are
four avowed candidates since the

Young attorney of Montgomery
county: B. j. Reaves, member of
the State Board of Control; Bonnie
Davis. former Representative from
Columbia county and Cleveland Reid

will be made within the next two

THE BAPTIST CHURCH

All the regular services at the Bap-
fist church Sunday.
Last Sunday was a good day with
us. A large morning congregation
and good evening congregation. One
hundred and twenty in the S. S. We
hope to have at least hundred and
fifty in the S. S. next Sunday. Come
to S. S. and see how much it will
help you. We are trying to enlist
all our people in the teaching depart
ment of the church.
The local church budget will be
made up Sunday. The pastor would
like for as many as can to come to
church at the morning hour as this
will save the committee a good deal
of work. If the committee does not
see you at church you are requested
to remain at home until called on in
the afternoon.

adoption in 1912 of the amendment
restricting legislative sessions to
sixty days.
The State Highway Department,
during the nine months ending De-
cember 81, 1919, distributed in ac-
tual money a total of $4,000 of
state aid among the various projects
under construction in the state. This
is in addition to $4,000 of the
State Highway funds appropriated
to the purposes of the General As
sembly of which provision is made
for the return of $4,000. This
amount or nearly half million dol
lars, was paid out on estimates of
roads actually constructed or under
construction.
The available funds for state aid
are practically exhausted at this
time. There is still due about $751;
900 from collectors throughout the
state and an appeal has been made
to them to make these payments as
| quickly as possible, that the work
may not be hampered.

biennial period. 1t will appear that
more than half of this has been ex-
pended in the first nine months.
However, the new funds will begin
to be available on April LIST, at
which time the collectors will be
called upon for the amounts they
may have. Inspectors are now in
the field, making inspections of va
rious projects, so that the probable
amounts to be called for may be
known.
A comparatively small amount of
Federal funds are paid out during
the year 1919 because Federal funds
are paid only for aurfacing and on
ly few of the projects were ready
for this part of the work. There is
available total of about three mil
hon dollars in the Federal fund and
the greater part of this will be paid
on Arkansas projects during the year
1920, so that it is apparent that more
Federal funds will come into the
state during this year than in all
preceding years combined
During the biennial period lust
closed the actual contracts were let
for 1000 miles of road, involving an
Expenditure of approximately fifty
million dollars. This mileage is un-
der provisions of special act and the
alexander law.

A New Breed of Hogs.

The Mud-Hole hog is the latest adj
dition to the hog family. He is the
fellow who takes advantage of the
traveller and charges him ten, fifteen
and twenty dollars for hauling his au-
tomobile out of mud hole Fifteen
or twenty dollars for hauling car out
of mud-hole is not charge for ser
vices-it is a plain, highway holdup.
Such charge does not stand the test
of either morals or decency, and as for
it standing in court of law there is
nothing to it.sy There is not a jury nor
a judge that would ever award any man
such a price for a few minutes work.
It is too bad that there should be
those who so forget the things that
make up the common courtesies of
life that they go out upon the high
way and demand from the helpless,
travelling stranger a fee that would
make the most hardened war profiteer
blush for shame! A man with his car
stuck in a mud-hole is helpless. He
must abandon his car and walk or else
pay the price that is demanded of
him. The Mud-hole-hog will say that
people do not have to accept his SER
vices. But this is not correct. Neces-
sity compells acceptance. And the
man who takes advantage of another
mans need, is-well, really, we don't
know why we should hken him to
hog, the poor, grunting hog has done
nothing to deserve the odium. Min

Train Leaves Track.

Monday morning when the east
bound train on this branch was about
three miles east of Lucan, the two
coaches and way freight left the track
and turned over into the ditch. Mr..
Schwandt was on the train and was
reported as hurt, but shortly after the
wreck Mr.. Belland received message
from him, saying: Il got out of the
wreck with but few scratches" and
at this writing he has not returned.
The main lire train was very late on
account of a minor wreck and our
regular crew was called there and it
was not until nearly 1890 that new
crew was picked up in Marshall to
run our train. Those who came down
on the train from Marshall say that
they We're going almost twice as fast
between Marshall and Milroy as usual
and the superstition is that speed on
our poor track was the cause of the
wreck. This however, is but hearsay
and we cannot vouch for its correct
ness. The wrecker got things picked
up so that we missed but one train,
