ROGERS REFU
GOVERNOR'S AID
Declaring Assistant a Needless
Expense and for Purpose of
Robbing Him of His
Laurels.
Little Rock, May 14.—Gov.
Davis late yesterday evening an
nounced the appointment of W.
F. Kirby of Texarkana as assist
ant counsel to the attorney gen
eral in the prosecution of the
back tax suits against the private
car lines, as provided by the act
passed by the last legislature.
But Attorney General Rogers
announces that he does n<*t need
and does not want any assist
ance and will pay no attention
whatever to the governor’s ap
pointment. Having settled t wo
of the cases out of court and with
negotiations pending for the set
tlement of most of the others, he
feels that it is only an attempt on
the part of Gov. Davis to take
from him some of the credit he
has won and to make a useless
expenditure of the state’s money.
SEASON PROMISES
DISGUISED BLESSING.
Pine Bluff, May 14.—Capt. J.
M. Hudson of Jefferson county,
one of the most expert crop re
porters of the south, advises the
planters of this section not to
plant any more cotton after this
date, but to wait until June and
plant corn, peas and sorghum.
Referring to the unpredicted
rainfall in this section Capt. Hud
son says: “The bad season may
prove a blessing in disguise in
forcing diversification of crops,
causing farmers to become inde
pendent of Northern markets
and exporters instead of imports
of feed stuffs.”
FIRE DESTROYS
BUSINESS HOUSE.
Rogers, May 14.—The business
house of McCowan & Son at
Lowell, this county, was destroy
ed by fire yesterday morning.
The family had rooms over the
store and it is thought that the
fire originated from a defective
flue. The loss is estimated at
$1,500, and was almost covered
bv insurance.

JURY SAYS SHOT
WAS UNJUSTIFIABLE.
Little Rock, May 13.—Coroner
Vaughter this morning held an
inquest over the remains of Alex
ander Mitchell, son of A. G.
Mitchell, who died yesterday as
the result of gunshot wounds at
the hands of the negro, Tee
Tanner, or Pate Turner.

REQUISITION FOR
MISSOURI MAN.
Hoxie, May 14.—Last night

H. Kelly, alias C. H. Smith, a
negro, wanted for obtaining

Holly Grove, May 14.H. Beech
er Lewis, county lecturer o\he
Farmers’ Union, who resides
here, says it is the purpose of the
Farmers’ Union to send a dele
gation to Europe. In fact, the
delegation or commission is al
ready on the way to make ar
rangements with the spinners of
England and the continent to buy
their cotton direct from the
southern farmer or his local mer
chant, thereby eliminating the
cotton speculator and taking the
price-making power out of the
hands of the bulls and bears.
Mr. Lewis adds: “The con
tinued wet weather has so de
layed planting that even a larger
than 25 per cent reduction in cot
ton acreage will no doubt pre
vail, as cotton planted later than
May 10 is too big a risk for a
farmer to make. We feel sure
that the acreage throughout the
cotton belt will be reduced—in
fact, it is already reduced.
While in Hot Springs attending
the state meeting of the Farm
ers’ Union we met many large
planters from Texas and they
assured us that the reduction had
been made in their state.”
NEWPORT REVOLUTIONIZED
One of the greatest sales will
open Wednesday, May 17th, at
Sink & Martin’s drygoods store.
This well known and established
firm has secured the services of
Mr. A. Leeser of the New York
& St. Louis Consolidated Salvage
Company of St. Louis. Due
credit must be given him for the
clever way he is covering and
advertising every inch of the sur
rounding thirty miles of New
port. He is an expert in his line
and has revolutionized Newport
! into a busy and hustling city.
Twelve rigs and twenty-four
men started this morning to fol
low his instructions, while scores
of clerks are laboring inside the
large and well known store in or
der to arrange and mark down
the entire stock. In fact, they
have been busy ever since the
store closed its doors to the pub
lic and will be compelled to work
I even throughout a large part of
I the nights in order to accomplish
the vast arrangements.
The building has been closed
ever since Thursday and will re
main closed until Wednesday,
May 17th, when Newport’s great
est sale will open.
LAST BIG BRIDGE
• ALMOST COMPLETED.
The Cotter Courier says that
the steel bridge at Roark, north
of Bronson, is being put up and
will be completed by the 15th.
This is the last difficult piece of
bridge building on the north end
of the White River line. There
are yet several smaller trestles
and wooden bridges to be put up
before the steel can be laid to
Branson. It is thought this will
be done by July 1.
BUILDINGS UNROOFED.
Searcy, May 14.—There was a
three-inch rainfall here, accom
panied by a severe gale. A store
room and the Times office were
unroofed, and a part of the Pres
byterian church roof was blown
off. The strawberry crop was
badly damaged. Farm W“ *^is

i BOOK REVIEWERS. !
I The Review Book Club met \
j with Miss Ray Brandenburg Sat- j
urday afternoon. In the absence
of the president Miss Louise Irby i
was selected as leader, and pre
sided very gracefully over the
meeting.
Thoroughness in their work
seems to be the motto of this,
club of young ladies, who are i
very much interested in the early
history of the Roman empire.
An excellent program which
had been arranged was carried
out splendidly.
Miss Mabel Stay ton’s paper on
William the Conqueror was beau
tifully written, and was much
j enjoyed by all present, while
Charlemagne was the subject of
| a well written paper by Miss
j Louise Irby, which showed much
study in its preparation.
A paper on the life work of
Trajan, “One of the five good
emperors of Rome,” by Miss
Elizabeth Gullette, concluded the :
program for the afternoon.
The next meeting will be with :
Misses Alma Futrall and Sallie •
Foster Saturday afternoon, May
27, when the study will be the j
i review of the four books of the
past month.
