Anti Betting Law May Be Assailed.
The Business Men s League of Hoi
Springs Tuesday night leiognized the
issue as to whether or not there shall
be a repeal of the Aims ant jin', : tug J
law in Ihis state, and ib ‘ tiled to hula j
a meeting next month, with a full at
tendance present when a vote will be
taken as to whether the operation ot
a race track at that plate is best toi i
t he comniuuit \.
Tin Oakland track, oik »i the lx ’
racing plants in the country i local, d
there, and in former years had be* a
the big drawing attraction for winter
season patronage. The reform ele

it in the last legislature, and caused
the passage of a law against betting
on racing. Sentiment ha < bane- d to
a degree, and the emunmi eial or
ganizat ions will decide on a stand,
and if a majority favor racing, will
urge the legislature to repeal tin ptc i

I'lo eommission w ill protest in court
that the present rate, are just and rea
sonable and will light against an ili

The in w rate will not affect travel*
ei's between Memphis and Little Rock,
a; that comes under the interstate tar
iff So on the Lock Island it wiil

it w:ll cost $4.15 to go to Bridge Junc

Memphis.
Although the rates were not all

■-ave ... by purchasing his ticket

terstate iuie ot two cents per mile.
Of course, the companies will endeav

of their patrons, hut when people see
that they can ride n great deal cheap

to me like boring a hole in a fiat iron
and crawling in. and being put in a
bath tub. or like rigging up a coal
su m with Middles nml outriggers, and
paddling out in a marsh duck shoot

The first hour I was investigattng

were going to tie a hag of shot to my

1 yelled lor help and a cross looking
man came along and pardoned me, and
told the fellows to take me to his
cabin and wash the powder off my
face, and hold me until he could have
a talk with me. When they had
scoured me with a piece of brick and
some y 'low lattndiy soap, the man
came into the cabin, and the ! s

‘ his light house tender, and held m on

I am Peck's Had Hoy,” and lie retnem
tiered me, and said: "Whnt'n'ell \oii

what he was up against, going around
the horn, and to San Francisco and
Japan and the Philippines, and that I
wanted to go along on his ship as i
mascot, or a waiter or anything, and
lie said he didn't know, hut I would
bo a good mascot, as last trip they
had a goat and a monkey for mas
cots. and 1 had a combination of both,
land if he was going to make a nip
to hades, or an.'- climate letter than
the straits of Magellan, he thought I
j would be all right.
He asked me what I could do and
I told him there was nothin:; that !
couldn't do if properly encourag i.
anything, from flying a flag of truce
; from the fighting top, to riding up in
I the ammunition e'e-vator with . )
i pounds of dynamite, to acting as t he
propeller to a W hitehead torpedo.
We talked it ov< : for an hour and
ho asked about Pa. and then he ... . I
he would think it over, and In ive
' me a ticket with a number on. and

if a steam launch from the Connecti

Well. say. this was quick work, an!
I called a launch and visited the otlnr
