Driven by E.

J. Smith, this test machine which has visited every highway district in the state, put on a special demonstration ut 9:30 o'clock this morning on the dirt section of South Walnut street near the armory. The demonstration was watched by R. B. Stanford, district highway engineer; Frank Witle.

heavy spiltes, tin and wire, buried in the dirt street. It moved along Walnut to the tune of the steady clicking of metal hitting the heavy magnets and sticking there. Small boys ran excitedly backs, and' 1 forth throwing in spikes and cans, which the machine iwed." Smith traversed one block" of street covering both sides of Tiie street, and cut the "juice" to upload. Cancass was spread under each of the three magnets, and when the current was cut there were many pounds of metal that had been recovered from the street, eliminating so many punctures for motorists. The nail-picker has been at work on the Hope-Fulton section of Ihe old gravel highway No.

07. Monday and Tuesday it covered the miles twice, on either side of the road, recovering an average of 20 pounds of metal to the mile. Part of the material it picked up is assembled on a sheet in a display window of Patterson's department store, Elm street. Scores of people looking in that window have been amazed to see spring- leaves big bolts and spikes, that powertul magnets literally dug out of South Arkansas' gravel roads. NIK)-Pound The nail-picker is a heavy truck with constructed cross-bourns i.i< which three electro-magnets are hung.

The magnets weigh SOO pounds each, and develop an enormous "pull" irom three to four feet away. They are hung within three inches of the ot the highway, however, and metal one or two inches iccp in the dust and gravel. A gasoline engine id direct current generator i.s in body of the truck, with switches controlling current to the magnets. The magnets can be turned on or off independently of each other, and when unloading time comes the driver cute them off one by one, moving the same piece of canvass around to each magnet to catch its load of which drops instantly when the current is cut. Mi.

Smith told The Star this morning that he picks up an average of about 75 pounds per magnet before unloading. His heaviest loads are gathered on old gravel roads where nails and spikes have been accumulating for several years. This is the only machine of its kind in the state, and represents an experiment which i.s said to be suc- eesful. It is expected that at. a result of the lessons learned on tills machine the State Highway Department will order several improved nail-pickers as permanent equipment fur Arkansas road men.

The state based its case solely on circumstantial evidence and the defense offered no testimony. One of the circumstantial links was that both men dipped snuff and officers found several snuff i ties around the still; another, that' yellow corn was found in Price's kitchen and yellow corn was found in the mash.

Deputy Sheriff John McCall was the only witness. He that he and Constable J. F. Akin found the still, of 200 gallon capacity, and nine barrels of mash. They followed the trail to Pi-ice's homo and placed Price and O'Neil under arrest.

McCal 1 said they found ii quantity ut fruit jars and jugs at Ihe liou.se and that the jugs were similar to one found at the still.

A total of 409,600 poll'tax receives were mailed county collectors last I year, and in some cases additional re! ceipts have been asked for, I Audit6r J. Oscar Humphrey has vealed. Only ten counties have accounted for poll tax receipts thus far this year, I which leaves the question of the num- bcr of potential voters unanswered. Assuming, however, that the same percentage of persons who paid poll taxes and voted two years ago also vote in the coming primary, the total number of voters in 1930 will be approximately 251,000., In Pulaski county this year, there are approximately 27,000 persons eligible to vote, or almost twice the 13,606 who cast ballots in the 1928 primary. Similarly.

Jefferson county has shown a large increase in eligible voters. In 1928, this county polled 4.161 This year. 10.036 persons 1 Electric loud-speakers are being installed on the Southwest Arkansas Fair Grounds this afternoon and tonight for the coronation service and the speech of Senator Joe T.
