Arkansas Letter,

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Beebe is the
name of a thriving town of 1000 in
habitants, in White county, ON the
St. L. 1. NJ. & S. r. r., thirty three
miles northeast of Little Rock, in
the finest fruit belt in the state and
is the home of your correspondent.
1t used to be when people spoke of
Arkansas we had ideas associated
with pistols, daggers, ghosts and
grave yards, of the murdered
spirits of the departed unfortunates
who fell a prey to King Alcohol and
the cold blooded stab of the mid
night assassin. But the scene has
changed; in fact, we are getting
ahead and in some things setting an
example for some of our sister states.
We have prohibition in quite a
number of our towns and the cause
still prospers. In our own Beebe,
we voted prohibition by large
majority and it works well. Last
year we had much business in our
mayors court, and since prohibition
only one case has been tried of any
kind. The peace and quiet which
reigns in the absence of "sour
mash" is indeed a reign of peaceful
tranquility in the hearts of the poor
women who were afflicted with
drunken husbands, fathers and
brothers. We are now just in
the midst of early peach shipping.
Last Monday there were 900 third
bushel boxes shipped from this
point, besides apples, peas, etc. The
peaches are supposed to average
81, 90 per box in st. Louis and $500
in Chicago. Strawberries grow
here to perfection. The earliest
being the Crystal City, then run
ming through the Wilson, Crescent
Seeding, Monarch, Captain Jack,
Chas. Downing, etc, The first
berries were shipped April 10th and
the season is over now except a
second crop, of which few crates
are now being shipped. The berry
crop is supposed to have distributed
about $500 into the pockets of the
people of our vicinity. Ripe peaches
were shipped as early as May 10th
The fruit crop this year is enormou:
and will bring twenty thousand
dollars into our country. For farm
ing purposes this is not as good a;
in some other parts of the state
growing On an average half-bale PEI
acre of cotton, 10 to 30 bushels o
corn, 80 to 60 bushels of oats; whea
does not do so well; vegetables o
all kinds grow well. In our tow
we have 20 or more successful bust
ness houses. Have four gooC
church houses out of debt, viz
Cumberland, Methodist, Baptist anC
Campbellite. Have a fine mall
and female school. Here is tn

has been in existence. 1t is repre-

Gambling in the Necessaries of Life.

On the 29th ult., before commit
tee of the New York State Senate on
CORNERS and futures in grain"
Charles Partridge, a member of the
New York city produce exchange,
gave 1t as his opinion that gambling
in grain is injurious to Legitimate
business, destructive to honest
dealing, costly to the consumer,
and such damage to communicate
as to demand immediate legislation
to restrict dealing in the necessaries
of life to legitimate business trans
actions. He declared that gam
bling in grain is disastrous to com
merce, just as it was in St. Louis
during the prevalence of the recent
gambling mania which drove many
thousands of bushels of wheat from
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1882-06-15

this market, which otherwise would
have been shipped here, thus closing
or restricting the operations of st.
Louis mills.
These transactions, Mr.. Partridge
said, wrecked legitimate traders,
who were swamped by the specula-
tors. Some grain transactions in
New York went through the hands
of fifty gamblers, each of whom
must be paid by the consumer. He
did not think that the miller or the
farmer got the benefit of the adj
vanced prices, but that the increase
went into the pockets of the gam
blers who controlled the market.
He thought the Legislature could
remedy the evil by imposing a pen
atty upon any one who deals in food
products illegitimately. II think"
said he, 'there should be law max
ing it punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment to gamble in the
products of the country which the
people depend upon for a living.
1t is this gambling that leads to
strikes all over the country. But
the working men don't know it.
They ought to strike down the spec
ulators."
Testimony before the committee
went to show that the bona fide
sale of wheat in New York since
August, 1879, aomunted to 244,
1877, 900 bushels, while the gambling
sales were twelve times that amount.
In Chicago the estimate has been
made as one to twenty. These
statements and facts furnish album
dant reasons why every state legis
lature in the Union should declare
gambling in the necessaries of life,
such as materials for food, clothing,
medicines, etc, to be penal offence,
punishable by heavy fines, or i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary, or
both. As the journal has hereto
fore said, this species of gambling
is more corrupting, demoralizing
and injurious to legitimate com
merce than all the gambling prac-
ticed in ''the gambling bells" of our
cites. Besides, it perpetrates mon
strous frauds upon the producers
and consumers as WE'LL Journal

tinued, with a thrill of passion
vibrating through the deep, mellow
tones of his voice. az do not ask

Ginevra's face shone with a happy
light. 1t was but taking the reality
in place of the shadow. For her
heart had been filled with Gerald's
image since the never to- be forgotten
morning when he came into her
young life like a prince in a fairy
tale.

There was stare of perplexity on
