TIMES LESS HARD IN
 SOUTH, SAYS TRAYLOR

Although business conditions in the south are not all that could be de- sired they are in general far better than in the north and west, accord ing to Henry S. Traylor, supervisor of Indian schools for the United States department of the interior, who is here visiting his family. Mr. Traylor, whose duties require con- stant travel to all parts of the nation, says times are very hard, business almost at standstill and there is much unemployment throughout the country, especially north and west. In the great corn belt of the central west, he stated, farmers are selling their corn, often after hauling it sev- eral miles to market, at 12 to 20 cents a bushel, and in some sections, on ac- count of the high price of coal, corn is being used as fuel. The mining industry is almost dead in most sec- tions, he said, especially copper min ing. and thousands of miners are without employment. He looks for much real suffering during the win ter in these sections. The livestock industry, MT. Traylor said, is also dormant, high freight rates and low prices making it impossible to mar ket stock at a profit.
 "We in the south may think we are having hard times, but we are really enjoying prosperity compared with most of the remainder of the country" he said The oil fields are about the only sections of the nation where times are good just now, he stated.

HENDRIX GRAD WRITES
 CRITIQUE OF WHITMAN
Emory Holloway '06, Author of Au- thoritative Study of Noted Man
 of Letters.

All Methodists of Arkansas are in- terested in and proud of the fact that the graduates of our colleges are constantly making good, and many of them are distinguishing them selves, in various lines of human en- deavor. More and more in recent years are they entering the field of journalism, literature, and productive scholarship. A recent instance, an- nounced by Doubleday, Page & Co.,, is the publication on October "A, of Professor R. Emory Holloway's "The Uncollected Prose and Poetry of Walt Whitman" in two volumes, price S75O.
 This work is a distinctive and val uable contribution to Walt Whitman literature. The two volumes contain not only the most significant of Whit mans uncollected editorials and ar ticles in the Brooklyn Eagle and vari- ous Long Island newspapers to which he contributed, but also material from the twenty odd composition books which the poet willed to MT. Harmed, his literary executor. These have never been published, as MT. Harmed kept them sealed in the li- brary of congress until Prof. Hollo- way made use of them in his work. The volumes contain also biographi- cal and critical essays by Prof. Hol- loway, who is perhaps the leading Walt Whitman authority in the coun- try. He is the author of the article on Whiteman in the Cambridge His tory of American Literature,
 Prof. Holloway is a graduate ot Hendrix College, being member ot the class of 1906. Other members ot this fine class are Dr. c. H. Dicker- son, a prominent physician of Con- way; Prof. J. I. McClurkin, the eff ficient treasurer of Hendrix College; H. T. Harrison, a successful attorney at Little Rock, and Hon. J. s. Ut. ley, our esteemed attoney general Since graduating from Hendrix Col lege Prof. Holloway, after taking graduate courses and degrees at Texas and Columbia Universities, has been teaching English in Scarritt Morrisville College, University O. Texas, and since 1914 in Adelphi Col lege at Brooklyn. During the wal he was Y. M. c. A. secretary ano member of the army educationa corps, A. E. F., University Beaune France.

COURT BRIEF FILED
 IN ACOUSTICS CASE

Little Rock, Gee. 2.-E. M. Pagan, Allan Kennedy and James R. Wood, appellees in the acoustics" case, yes- terday filed their brief in the supreme court by their attorneys. This is the case involving the letting of a con- tract by Secretary of State Hopper under an act of the last legislature for remedying the acoustical defects in the senate and house of represen- tatives at the capitol The appellees, Mr. Kennedy himself being author of the act, holds that the act is uncon- stittuional and the contract invalid. They claim that the act contemplates repairs in both halls of the legisla- ture, while the secretary of state has contracted for the expenditure of nearly nine-tenths of the appropria- tion for the hall of representatives alone. They ask therefore that the contract be set aside and the act de- clared invalid
