! Little Rock, July 10.—The
most interesting political event
of this month will be the selec
tion of the county election com
missioners, which will take
place about July 15. These com
missioners are selected by the
governor, attorney general and
seceretary of state- Two demo
crats an done republcan commis
sioner will be selected for each
i
county, and these will in turn
(select the election judges and
j clerks for elections held in all
counties- The State Board of
(Election Commissioners has in
jtimated it will follow the recom
imendations made by county
I conventions, permitting each
county to thus govern its own
affairs. There are going to be
i changes in many counties, how
ever, radical changes, if rumor
can be entertained. In most of
these counties there is a keen
contest, for the selection of com
missioners is a very important
| thing. It will be one of the
{things attacked in the new
jBrundidge election law, for it
(has long been claimed that the
power to select election commis
jsioners gives state officials too
I great a lever in certain counties,
and permits them to perpetuate
themselves in office, or to rail
road their friends into political
positions.
Big Proclamation Project.
The board of commissioners
for Overflow Drainage District,
comprising 17,600 acres on Lit
tle Red River from Judsonia to
Stecherville, are advertising for
sealed bids to be received until
July 20, for one of the largest
drainage projects ever proposed
in White county, and which will
represent an expenditure of be
tween $160,000 and $175,000.
! According to C. M- ' Ergan
bright, the chairman of the
board of commissioners, and E.
E. Mashbum, engineer for the
the district, the work will con
sist of excavation for one main
ditch and 22 lateral ditches, ex
tending an area of thirty miles
and comprising 594,700 cubic
yards of drainage excavation.
The main ditch is seven mles
long with bottom width v ying
from 24 to 28 feet, an average
depth of eight feet. Lateral
ditch No. 13 is six miles long,
bottom width from 12 to 18
feet. The proposed district will
protect 17,600 acres of fertile
lands in the vicinity of Judsonia,
West Point and Stecherville
In connection with the adver
tisement for bids for the drain
age excavation Secretary C. F.
Long of Little Red River Levee
District No. 2 is asking for
proposals for the construction
of 11 miles of levee embankment
from Judsonia to Stecherville,
comprising approximately 300,
000 cubic yards of dirt- The
height of the levee varies from
tour to nine ieet, average neignt
being about six feet. More than
nine miles of the proposed levee
will be built through open, culti
ated land.
Bonds for the drainage dis
trict and levee work have al
ready been sold, and actual con
struction work is expected to
<?in on same about August 1.

Swimming Pool For Boys
Little Rock boasts of the finest
swimming pool in the state- Im
mediately after its opening the
number of cases of drowning in
the Arkansas river at this plitee
was reduced. The boys who had
been risking their lives daily
in the treacherous stream, found
in the large pool the water of
sufficient depth' to allow them a
good swim, and they did not at
the same time have to keep
their eyes on their clothes,
which remained on the bank, to
see that they were not confis
cated by officers, or filled full of
knots by mischievous boys.
This big pool is filled with
spring water, pumped direct,
! i the water is running all the
time. In spite of this the re
port has been circulated that
dsease germs abound in the
pool, which has kept many from
enjoying Boy land’s pleasures
Dr. W. F- Manglesdorf, the
state chemist, makes two exami
nations of the water in the
pool daily. One specimen is ta
ken from the surface of the
pool. The other is taken from
the bottom by a diver. Dr. Man
glesdorf states that he has never
found a germ of any disease in
the water, and that it is far
purer than the city water fur
nished the citizens for drinking
purposes- Dr. Manglesdorf fur
ther states that germs of the
nature referred to will not live
in water, and he recommends a
bath in the swimming pool for
those who enjoy swimming.
Trieber Reaffirms Decision.
Little Rock, July 10—Reaf
firming his previous decision in
the migratory bird case (United
States vs- Harvey C. Shauver),
on the ground that the question
had already been decided simi
larly by the United States Su
preme Court, Judge Jacob Trie
ber of the United States District
Court yesterday refused to
j grant a rehearing of the case, in
accordance with a motion filed
j by Col. J. H. A,cklin, United
States same warden at Nash
ville, Tenn. Arguments were
heard Wednesday.
The case which concerned the
^hooting of a game bird out of
Season, involves the constitu
tionality of an act of congress,
which declares that all migra
tory birds were the property of
the United States as a whole.
The act made it unlawful to kill
such birds out of season. In the
Shauver case, which was tried at
•Jonesboro, Judge Trieber held
that game birds had always
been considered as belonging to
the state in which they were
found, and for that reason con
gress had not the authority to
pass laws affecting the rights
of such states
BALCH TEAM CHALLENGES
SWIFTON.
As a member of the Balch baseball
club, 1 wish to state that we, the
Balch baseball club, or team, do chal
lenge any team in the county for a
game.
I believe we have the strongest
team in the county,
i The game between Swifton and
Balch Thursday, July the 2nd, was the
first game for the championship of
the county, but Swifton as they have
always done, went out of the county
for players, and then claim to be play
ing for the championship of the
county.
I ask them (Swifton) how they can
make this a county contest and play
outside of the county men?
We have a game matched with
Swifton for the 27th, on the Beede
ville baseball ground, and wish „to;
state frankly we don’t expect to pipy'4!
anyone but home boys, and We will
exDect Swifton to do the fcame. or the
game will not be counted as a coun
ty contest game.
Swifton, have you the banner? If
you have, please show your colors
and come on the date mentioned.
Swifton people you are all nice peo
ple, and you all have always treated
U3 fine, but you cannot hold the “ban
ner."
Yours for baseball.

i SWIFTON FISHING PARTY.
There were nine of the Swifton bus
iness men who went to Cache river on
the evening of the 3rd and stayed all
night, returning on the 4th.
Those in the party were,W. E.
Jones, Sr., of the Jones-Harvey Mer
! cantile Co., Elmer Taylor of the same
company, J. E. Lane postmaster, Roy -j
1 Moon and T. A. Parsons of the live
i stock fire of Moon & Parson, Erwin
'
I Bush, one of Jackson county’s beat
farmers, Lee See, of the firm of Dukes
Bros., David Allen, one of the beat
cooks that ever flung a pot, Buck
Vaughn the feeder, and Master Frisco
Lane the champion frog hunter. One
of the great stunts pulled off was Roy
Moon’s high dive, making a leap of
29 1-2 feet—a leap for his life.
We arrived on the bank of the
greatest fishing stream in Arkansas,
old Cache, at four o’clock and at sup
per had plenty of the scally tribe.
Clint Green of the firm of Russell A
Green, says he can catch more fish in
the same length of time than any man .
in the county. He fished from 5 until
II a. m. and had four bites. Mr. W.
E Jones was tfie only one of the noble
nine who didn’t get a fish. He said
he didn’t want to get close to the y
water till he learned how to swim, i
Lee See was the champion caster. He f
I put out 48 feet of line and brought in f
jfor his victim a 5 pound bass. J. E.
j Lane, the best postmaster Swifton has ’
j had since last January, caught more
' fish than all the rest. T. A. Parsons -
| and Elmer Taylor are entitled to med
al3 for squirrel killing for they are >|f|
■ crack shots. Master Frisco Lane |
earned the frog medal, for he is good
with a gig. We only had one objec- ||
tion to our trip—that is, we met up ,Jjj|
with too many of our cousins. They v
all claimed kin.. After denying their
reiationsmp until * ociock in m
morning, David Allen the cook, said,
“I wont stand for it any longer. You
white folks can do as you please.” So
the whole nine arose from their peace
ful slumbers and went after the finny
tribe to procure meat for breakfast.
After two hours we returned to the
camp with about 80 bass and perch.
At 8:30 we returned to the greatest' ,
sport of the trip, catching bass and ||
crappie, at which Parsons and See
won the championship, catching near* yj|
ly one hundred bass and perch. With „'i
about 50 pounds of nice, brawn bass
in front of us. we sang Jonh Jones jS
and came back to Swifton, so we could
get medical aid if needed. As it hap- - |
pened, no doctor was needed and next ||
day Ming Sunday we rested. -
