CLARKE 77, JONES 60.
Both Branches of the Legislature Bal
loted at Noon Tuesday in Separate
Session on United States Sen
ator—The Result.
Little Rock, Jan. 21.
; Senate. House. Tota'.
James P.Clarke 19 58 77
James K. Jones 14 36 50
H. I,. Remmel (Rep.) 0 2 2
The number required to elect on
joint ballot is 68, Governor Clarke
thus having a majority of 9 votes.
Today at noon the legislature will
meet in joint session to ratify the re
sult. Each vote was cast as instruct
ed. In each branch yesterday the
announcement of the vote produced
enthusiastic demonstrations on the
part of the successful candidate’s ad
herents.
The day was a busy one in the leg
islature. Nearly 200 bills have now
been introduced, and the end is not
yet in sight.
The senate passed a concurrent res
olution inviting Attorney General
Murphy, also Governor Davis, to ad
dress the general assembly on the
state convict farm question. When
the resolution reached the house and
was taken up a spirited discussion en
sued, and considerable opposition de
veloped toward the proposed invita
tion. Final action was deferred until
Friday.
The house adopted an amendment
to Representative Stafford’s bill to
fix the salary of members of the gen
eral assembly at 8360. The amend
ment changes the compensation
| clause so as to make it read, “Seven
E ty-five cents per day and board.”
I Both the senate and house adopted
resolutions providing for appointment
of committees to inspect the state
convict farm.
STATE CONVICT FARM.
Mr. Whitley offered the following
resolution in the house.
Be it resolved, by the house of rep
resentatives, the senate concurring
therein, That a committee of seven
farmers, three doctors, one real es
tate man and one lawyer from the
house, three farmers, two doctors,
one merchant and one lawyer from
the senate, consisting of nineteen
members, be appointed by the house
and senate to visit and examine the
convict farm recently purchased by
the state penitentiary board; that
said committee be authoriz jd to send
for persons, swear and take evidence
in relation to the value of same aud
the general conditions of health pre
vailing during the last three years in
that immediate vicinity and to ascer
tain any other information or facts in
reference thereto that they may deem
necessary to enlighten their respec
tive bodies, and that this committee
report its findings to their respective
bodies at its earliest convenience.
Mr. Toney objected to instructing
the speaker on the personnel of the
committee. He had confidence in the
speaker and was in favor of leaving
him free and unhampered in selecting
the committee. He offered an ameud
I ment to strike out the part of the
| resolution specifying occupations.
Th« riinonssinn develooed interest
ing phases as it proceeded and vary
ing views were expressed.
Mr. Keel followed in defense of his
substitute and paid high tribute to the
character of the men named by him
for commissioners to investigate. His
substitute was voted down.
Mr. Toney’s amendment to the
Whitley resolution was adopted and
the resolution as amended was then
- adopted on a rising vote.
Mr. Campbell of Randolph intro
duced house bill No. 72, to provide for
drainage of swamp lands in Randolph,
Lawrence and Jackson counties. Ii
creates a drainage district composed
of Randolph, Lawrence and Jackson
(! counties. It provides for the donation
: by the state to said drainage district
of all forfeited state lands lying in the
three counties mentioned, and also
^ the swamp an d overflowed lands ir
(; those counties, which were granted tc
the state for drainage purposes by the
national congress in the year 1860. A
board of three commissioners, one
from each county, is given power te
§ carry out the provisions of the act
5 | The bill provides for the cleaning out
§ | straightening and deepening of the
d j streams known as Village creek ane
I; Running Waters, and for the leveeinj
I of Black river at such places as the
I i commissioners may deem necessar;
i to prevent its overflowing into th<
j two streams to be drained. Bad
I commissioner is to give bond in th<
J sum of §10,000 for the faithful per
I formance of his duty under the act
j The board is to meet and organize a
■ the town of Walnut Ridge on the sec
1 ond Monday in July, 1903. The worl
1 of leveeirg and draining is to be le
j by competitive bidding on contracl
^ the contractors to give bond in twic
the amount of their bid, conditioned
upon the fulfillment of their con
tracts. The act, if carried into effect,
it is claimed, will reclaim two or three
hundred thousand acres of land, fer
tile as the valley of the Nile, which
are now too wet for cultivation. The
bill was read the first time.
BANK OF LITTLE ROCK CLOSED.
Little Rock Trust Company Also
Affected, but Depositors Will
be Paid in Full.
The Bank of Little Rock suspended
payment Tuesday morning and notices
were posted on the front door an
nouncing the fact. The Little Rock
Trust Company, which is owned
principally by the stockholders of
the bank and its business carried on
in the same building, also suspended
payment on deposits. The notice
posted on the door announced that the
depositors of the trust company
would be required to give notice of
withdrawals according to the by-laws
of the company, which give them
ninety days in which to make pay
ments should they desire it.
It was stated in regard to the bank
that payment had been suspended
pending an investigation of the affairs
ofjthe Alphin-Lake Cotton Company.
It was asserted by a director of the
trust company this morning that this
institution was not involved and that
its depositors would be paid in full,
that it had been found necessary to
suspend payment for ninety days as
the by-laws directed, in order that
there might be a full realizaton on the
assets of the company, and after that
period the depositors would be paid
prompuy.
According to the best information
obtainable, The Bank of Little Rock is
involved to the extent of about $160,
000 It has apparently made loans to
the Alphin-Lake Cotton Company
on something like 4,600 bales of cotton
at $36 per bale, leaving, as it supposed,
a margin of at least $6.60 per bale.
Of this amount the bank has bills of
lading for 216 bales of cotton, and that
is safe. There is nothing to account
for the other 4,400 bales except ware
house receipts on the compress agent
at El Dorado, and it now developes,
as alleged, that there is no cotton at
El Dorado. It is thus claimed that
this amount has been fraudulently ob
tained from the bank, and of course it
will be a complete loss unless the
railroad company should be held re
sponsible. In the same connection it
is stated that at least 3,600 additional
bales have been receipted for and the
receipts kited elsewhere, perhaps in
New Orleans and at other points
where the financial institutions make
loans on cotton.
TUPELO TIPS.
Rev. Jas. F. Jernigan filled his regu
lar appointments at Snapps and Tu
pelo last Sunday. He will preach at
Avergne at 11:00 a. m., and at Wel
don at 7:00 p. m. next Sunday.
May the good roads convention at
Little Rock be the beginning of the
ending of bad roads. Roads we need
and roads we must have, or perish.

' By the way, don’t our capitol city,
I Newport, need a good street conven
tion, rather than liquor license? If
the citizens would put their hands in
their pockets and say: “Mud, be
gone!” the Iquestion of good streets
would be settled, and trade would in
crease fifty or seventy-five per cent.
Don’t dam your boys and girls for
street money. Better walk in mud
knee deep than do this. If licenses
are granted the recording angel will
never be off duty day nor night.
Cupid has been playing his naughty
tricks at Tupelo, and more then one
widower has been pierced through the
heart by his running dart. The laBt
victim was Mr. T. W. Collier, and the
bride was Miss Lovice Mustin. The
marriage was in the church, the cere
mony being pronounced by the pastor.
The attendants were Prof. Bowen, of
i Weldon, and Mr. Allen Collier, of
I Tupelo, and the two sisters of the
bride, Misses Cora and Odie Mustin of
Newport. Miss Alma Gulley of Wel
don presided at the organ with hei
usual ease and grace. This writer if
not well versed in the lingo of trous
I seaus, but the bride was beautifullj
; adorned and looked sweet and amia

i and cultivation, and Mr. Collier is t<
