The Court of General Sessi ons en
voned in Conway last Monday morning
with Judge S. W. CI. Shipp, pre- j
siding. Judge Shipp is th.e Judge of
this Judicial Circuit and in accord-1
unco with a rule of the Supreme J
Court in arranging the roster of >
judges for the summer tonus of the 1
Court, Judge Shipp is hoi ling the I
Courts in his home circuit this time.
As the regular term for KVdn uary j
was put off on account of an epidemic
of influenza, a number of
cases accumulated on the criminal
docket. A number of eases 1 a 1 he n
continued from the fall term cf 1910.
it seemxs that there had been more i
than the usi.al number of prosecu- f
tions and inditemcnts since the fall 1
term was held and this combined 1
has made an unusual amount of <
business for the Court to dispose of. t
Coming at a time when the fanners 1
are busy in the cultivation of their <
crops it has been hard for witnesses <
and jurymen to bo pulled away from >
the fields to spend a week in Con- i
way; but they are leaving as soon as i

As there was no Court held in J
February the Grand Jury had to be ]
organized this week and charged by i
the Court. This took up some time l
that otherwise would have been used ;
in the trial of cases.
Following are eases of minor im- c
portance disposed of this week. \

Chicago.?The wave of price cut- j

sweep the country, merchants in J

*eductios in men's and women's'

icles. While some merchants said'
he reduction c: uld not be maintain- j

vere the logical outcome of breaks
n the Western market, a backward
season and large stocks on hand.
Owners of department stores in
scores of cities and towns announced
price reductions in men s and woiicn's
apparel ranging frcm 20 to 50
per cent., while in some places shoes

flation of credits and high commodity
prices, carrying out their pledge
to the federal reserve boaixl. Pressure
exerted by the banks in the
wholesale dry good and general merchandise
districts was said to be reresponsible
for the wave of price
cutting, in the retail trade.
Banks were reported to have notified
importers and dealers in lux- <
uries, articles of apparel and manufacturers
of socalled non-essentials
tljat only moderate financial accommodations
could be expected now.
The price cuts largely were confined
to wearing apparel, but a
spread of the movement to other
lines was indicated by the action of
Omaha dentists in reducing the price
of dental wcrk.
Tn a newspaper advertisement a 1
Newark clothing concern denounced
price, cutting as "an economic nvstake,"
asserting "it is economically
unsound to sell merchandise for a
price whi< h is less than we can buy
it from the makers anywhere. What
the world needs is a greater prcdu 4
ion not the drastic sacrifice of retail
prices."
Several Milwaukee merchants char
acteri'/ed the movement as a "circus
stunt."
In St. Paul. whei'Q marked price
reductions were announced, the largest
wholesale millinery concern in the
\ >rthwcst stated it would open its
doors to retail trade and dispose cf
a $".00 000 stock at prices 50 po?cent,
below tin-so now prevailing.
One men's furnishing establishment
which operates stores in seveial
cities, announced a general reduction
of 15 per cent.

The attack on profiteers was opened
by Senator Kenyqn, Republican of,
Iowa, who urged social ostracism
and criminal punishment for the of- ;
fenders. Corporations principally and j
retailers were held up as prime profi ',
teers. Some of them were character-'
ized by the Iowa senator as robbers J
and traitors.

In urging publicity as a means of i
sweeping dealers demanding excessive
profits" to the junk heap of ,
disrepute" Senator Kenyon declared j
department of justice prosecution had
failed to bring relief and that the
people should elect a president who
would break up the evil by naming
an attorney general "who cares ^
more about enforcing the laws than j
he does about running for president."

He warned of impending dangers in j
the cycle of continued borrowings
and speculation and appealed to
bankers and public alike to be conservative
in its demands for I anking
credit*
"It is evident," Mr. Harding said,
"that the country can not continue
to advance prices and wages, to curtail
production, to expand credits
and attempt to enrich itself by nonproductive
operations and transactions
without fostering discontent
and radicalism, and that such a
course if persisted in, will eventually
bring on a real crisis."
Mr. Harding said that "everything
must be done" to expedite the release
of money in "frozen loans" and
in 'commodities held either for speculative
purposes or because of lack
of transportation and urged bankers
to use the utmost discrimination in
granting new loans. Reports laid
before the conference by the federal
advisory council, directors of the
federal reserve board and a committee
representing the Amrcican Hank
ers' association were to the effect
that inflation has continued to some
extent since the flotation of the Victory
loan last May.
This Mr. Harding declared to be
one of the "disquieting features" of
the present situation. He asserted
that the expansion of banking credit
"properly attributable to the war"
was about $11,000,000,000, while
money in actual circulation had increased
$1,900,000,000. Credit expansion,
even to that extent was nol
believed by Mr. Harding to be alarrr
ing or excessive "when viewed fron
the standpoint of war necessity" ant
when it was recalled that the gov
ernment placed $20,000,000,000 in Li
berty bonds in *he same period.
Mr. Harding deplored the fallinj
off in production in praetimlly a!
important lines. He said it constitu
ed a "very unsatisfactory element
in the national problem because it i
dicated a slowing down of "indus
trial effort."

i to a telegram from th^t body asking
about a recent speech by Governor
Wellborn at New Orleans in which
he pointed out the necessity for restriction
of credits for ull luxuries,
and particularly credits for pleasure
1 automobiles. In his message Mr. y.
Wellborn said: *
"In view of the present strain on
the hanking credits of the district,
it is imperative that we should have
an intelligent and discriminating policy
of control. We have reached a
point where we must consider affairs
from the viewpoint of the general
economic interest and to think
| primarily m fundamental terms of
j production of the necessary things
j of life and not simply in the narrow
er terms of enlarged business and
increased' profits.
"The automobile business has
grown to large proportions, and con
sumes credit and labor in a correspondingly
large degree, and while T
am in favor of granting credits for
trucks and tractors and cars used
for strictly business purposes, I do
not believe that the present is thetime
when the credit structureshould
be called upon to bear the- ^
burden of financing automobiles tha/t.
are used for pleasure purposes.
"In these times it is necessary to
control credit, and unless we
' a firm stand the more necessary d'ei
mands of production and distribu.
tion will be jeopardy by our funds in
. rediscounts that tend to encourage
; unusual extravagance."
