W. M. HARRELL & COMPANY IRON MOUNTAIN TO SPEND MILLION Little Rock, Jan. 14.—At the re cent dedication of the new depot at Morrilton, Vice President Robertson, of the Missouri, Pacific, Iron Moun tain Railroad, said that during the year 1916 the railroad would spend a Billion dollars in improvements in Arkansas. This is due to the confi dence of the management in the fu ture of the state. One of the im provements to be undertaken with the beginning of spring is the re-ballast ing of the Valley division track from Little Rock to McGehee, a distance of 101 miles. Work has also commenced on the rebuilding of all bad-order cars and passenger coaches, which ■will provide employment for thous ands of men. MR. FRY DENOUNCES ACTION OE UNION SAYS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS NO POWER TO RE MOVE HIM. Little Rock, Jan. 18.—Charges pre ferred last week by the Pope County Farmers’ Union against President Charles E. Scott of the Russellville ■agricultural school, and J. H. Fry, secretary of the Arkansas Farmers' Union .will be discussed today at a meeting in Little Rock of the execu tive committee of the association, Mr. Fry said on his arrival from Atkins last night. Mr. Fry is not a member of the executive committee, but ex pects to meet with it and H. S. Mob ley of Prairie Grove, president of the association. Mr. Mobley is expected early this morning. Mr. Fry vigorously denounced the resolutions against him and declared that properly there is no Pope county union. The executive committee has no power to remove him, even if the members desire it, he said. He said they can only discuss the resolutions. ‘The opposition to me in Pope coun ty was started from motives outside the union/’ he said. “A small party of members, who have caused so much trouble in the school, undertook to ruin me. They secured an injunction against the operation of a gin in which I and others were interested. All the machinery was not paid for and the loss of the season's business caused the company to go into the hands of a receiver. My son and I are the real losers. The men who joined the opposition against me did not lose more than from $5 to $25 each. “The socalled Pope County Union is not authorized to hold a charter un der the bylaws of the union, as it has less than five locals. There are only 49 members in the county union and few of them are in good standing. They charge that I have no connec tion with the union because they, claim to have expelled me from a local on account of this gin affair. Under the constitution they could not expel a member because of a business mat ter that had no connection with the union. I transferred my membership to the Atkins local, where I now live, before they claim to have expelled me. I have receipts that show I am in good standing in the Atkins local. ’ Mr. and Mrs. H.

Little Rock, Jan. 14.—A ruling has been made by the state bank commis sioner that banking companies must comply with the law providing for the operation of trust companies be fore they will be permitted to use the word “trust’' in the names of the companies. This will not apply to more than seven banks in the state, as follows: Hope Savings and Trust Company, Hope. Planters Bank and Trust Company, Forrest City. Rainwater Bank and Trust Com pany, Morrilton. Central Bank and Trust Company, Little Rock. Farmers Bank and Trust Company, Dardanelle. Peoples Savings Bank and Trust Company, Marianna. Marked Tree Bank and Trust Com pany, Marked Tree. The law provides that a trust com pany must have not less than $100, 000 capital in Pulaski, Sebastian and Jefferson counties, and not less than $50,000 in all other counties. To car ry the name “trust” where the cap ital is less than these amounts is con strued to be misleading. The banks have been notified that they must drop the word “trust” from their names, or increase their capital stock to the required amount. The Rain water Bank and Trust Company has already notified the commissioner of a change of name to the Rainwater Banking Company. MRS. JULIA MAY DEAD. From Tuesday's Daily.

FARMERS PHASED WEEK COLD SNAP From Frid;' s Daily. The cold wave of the past two days will be a great benefit to crops this year, in the opinion of farmers in Conway today. The sudden change from summerlike weather to near ze ro, they say, caught untold millions of insect pests unawares and killed them before they could scurry back into their winter quarters. The hard freeze will also be beneficial in pul verizing the soil. The weather today has been only a few degrees warmer than yesterday. The temperature this morning was 15 degrees and the thermometer has re mained well below the freezing point throughout the day. Fair and warmer weather is pre dicted for tonight, with increasing cloudiness tomorrow. It pays to investigate the quality and price. Buy your meal and hulls from G. P.
