liners make the trip to-day" he said.

no more winking at women's bare

WELL FLOWS BY HEADS
Driliers of Ouachita County Test Con-
 iident Cf Producer.

Camden, July 26.-The Richardson Nc. 1 well, in 29-15-15, Ouachita coun- ty, 15 miles south of Camden, drilled by the V. K. &s F Drilling Company of Shreveport, flowed by heads through out last night and today. The heads appeared about two hours apart, and each lasted severl minutes. Scouts say that if the oil was coming up out of 4-inch casing, instead of an S. inch casing, it would flow steadily,
 1he oil tests 23 gravity, it is said. However, the gravity is expected to improve as the mud and water is re- moved. It is said the first oil from the Constantine gasser at ElDorado aver aged only 23 gravity, while the south field in that district has averaged around 35 gravity.
 The sand was struck at 2,O4S feet and is IS feet deep. Tanks will be moved to the lease tomorrow from FL Dorado. Arrangements Will be made to connect with the ElDorado-Shreve- port pipe line.
 The V. K. & F. Drilling Company is composed of N. N. Kronenberg, J. .F. Vancleves and Aaron Fredman of Shreveport, La. The acreage to drill the well was donated to the drilling concern by Sid Umstead and Jett Mur- phy of Smackover and J. D. Reynolds and Berg Bros. of Camden. The drill ling concern has established head quarters here.
 donated are being planned by the of ficials of the drilling concern.

Little Rock, July 26.-Judge E. P. 'Toney went back to bat today in the exchange Of challenges and refusals which he and Governor McRae have been enjoying.
 Replying to the governors latest refusal to meet in joint debate, Judge Toney sent rasping letter to the governor, telling the governor that should he decide later to desire debate, to give the Lake Village man A hours notice, and that he would be on hand.
 Replying to the governors dig about campaign expenses Judge Toney responded that it was neces- sary to be a millionaire banker" to run for governor. He further rap ped the governor on the matter of pa roles and other forms of releases of convicts. His statement brought to light that the notorious Sam Payne, former Walnut Ridge marshal, twice SGulGuCSu UO lllc loOuiiCht, oh'' twice a murderer, is free, and is cir culating a petition for his pardon:
 Another event which came to light today may furnish further campaign arguments. Toney 'Coppersmith, Hot Springs gambling resort operator who was night guard over Tom Slaughter when Slaughter made his sensational escape from the peniten- tiary here, is free on furlough from the governor.
 Coppersmith charged with being an accomplice in Slaughter's escape was held in the death cell at the peniten- tiary for three weeks during an inves- tigation of the affair. Later he was sent to the farm, but recently was re- turned. Coppersmith is said to be in Hot Springs.
