IN discussing the sub-treasury bill in Mississippi, the Aberdeen Examiner


 in an editorial, places it in the right light when it says: If the sub-treas- ury scheme was adopted. history would repeat itself The big farmers and spectators would use it for all it is worth, and grow fat and rich upon it. while the little fellows who are howl ing would be left with the bag to hold, as usual. It has been this way with every scheme and plan ever concocted, and always will be. The survival of the Attest is the decree of civilization as well as of nature, and tine little fish will glide into the maws of the big fish as long as the world moves" And con- tinues with the advice that should be needed by the farmers of Arkansas, and in fact by farmers everywhere. It reads: "The sub-treasury plan to en- able southern farmer to hold his cot ton and thereby speculate on his own crop is comprised ill a smoke-house full of home-cured meat, crib full ot homegrown corn, a barn full of hay from his own meadows, and two or three mule or horse colts dropped from his own mares every year. That kind of a man is usually money lender ln- stead of borrower he sells his cotton when he pleases and how he pleases, and he don't want the government, or any one else, to hold a lien on it. We have many farmers of that klnd in Mississippi, and the tribe is rapidly in- creasinpn

ARKANSAS has hard name outside the state. perhaps worse than any other state in the union. You will observe that nine-tenths of the people if they have anything mean to say against the people in general they say it about Arkansas. People from the other states, upon their first visit to Arkan- sas, expect to be devoired by canuibals or barbarians. They picture the state to be nothing but a vast wilderness, inhabited only by an ignorant and un- civilized class of people. This belief however, is gradually dying out. Ar kansas is coming to the front with her good schools and colleges, her splendid manufacturing interests. her many miles of railway, her fruits, woods, newspapers, and prosperous cities. Northern men go to Arkansas to specu- late and are stricken with awe and surprise at the wonderful progress the state has made in ths ,ast.few years. People are beginning to live and work for the uphuilding of that great state.-- Chicago Blade.

The Presidents Visit.

The train which is conveying Presi- dent Harrison and party on their long journey will arrive at 2:l9 this after noon. The city is in high expectancy and will turn out en masse to witness the passing of the president of the greatest nation on earth. A large num- ber of people from the country are in waiting, and all due respect will be shown the visitors. For the informa- tion of those who did not witness their coming, we append full description of
 THE PRESIDENTIAL SPECIAL.
 It is one of the most elegant and complete in in it's appointments that ever passed over the road. It consists of five coaches, besides the engine and tender. The forward coach is the combination baggage and smoking car "Azanthan," and bears on it's panels in letters of gold the inscription, Presidential Special"
 The smoking compartment of this car is upholstered ill olive plush, and the chairs and sofa are of the same color. Two desks and library of choice books, from which all political literature has been excluded, com pletes the equipment of the smoker. The barber shop and bath room oc- cupy the rear end of the "AZanthan" and the electric dynamos and baggage occupy the forward end. The dining car, 'Coropda,o is a thing of beauty. The curtains are of green plush, the lamps and fittings of silver shade, and the appointment elegant.
 THE PRESIDENTS CAR.
 The presidents car, "New Zealand. :" f.<f l ,,1 effect of its decorations is most pleas ing The main part of the car is up- holstered in blue plush. with white curtains, but the double drawing-room set aside for the sleeping apartments as dainty as bridal chamber in it's white and gold wood work, relieved by plush of d rich terra cotta color The other sleeping car, Ideal" is made up of six drawing-rooms, all finely finished, and each draw wing room decorated in a distinctive tone from that of the others. One is salmon and white. another saffron, third sea green, and others strawberry, olive and cleo tric blue.
 THE LAST CAR.
 t'Vicuna, ,' which is the last coach of tiIC bIflli, COlI1DiiitS abUbIH dUNdltdStS --of library and observation car. It is upholstered in blue, and all metals of highly polished brass. One feature of this car, however, is an open air end, especially adapted to public speaking from the train platform. It is seven feet long by nine feet wide with rub Der floor, and fenced in with brass and bronze. The roof extends to point even with the platform. so that when it becomes necessary to address an audi ence ill the rain, the president does not necessarily have to expose himseh to th9 clements. All illumination on tlie the train, even to the interior lamps, is electric. In addition to the electric lights there is an ample supply Of oil lamps, to be used as usual if the cur rent gives out. Electric fans through out the train assures the party of re- lief should the heat be oppressive.
 TIE TIMES presents President Iiar- rison few copies of this issue, with it's compliments and best wishes for a pleasant and profitable sojourn i'll our state.

A STRANGE FIND.

Cave In Ear-AMaY Australia.

Strange Find OF . Full-RIgged Ship In =
Cave In PARKWAY Australia.
A story which smaclss of the marvel
Gus is the theme OF much speculation at
Sydney, Australia, says the New York
Journal. In May, 1890, four men left
the Australian metropolis for a pros
pecting tour in the mountains of New
Zealand. During July and August they
had done much hard work around the
base of Mount Ruaperhui and in the
immediate vicinity.
In the following month they pene-
trated the unknown wilds on the head
waters Of the river Waikato. October
8 their crowbars loosened an immense
ledge of rocks which arose like q preci-
pice from tho bed of small creek
tributary to the Waillato. When the
debris was cleared away, a small crack
some ten inches wide was revealed.
Within two feet of the opening this
crack became wide-mouthed sub
terranenn chamber. A little more
labor admitted the men into the open
ing. Priming their miners lamps they
started on q tour of exploration.
Bones, charcoal and rudcly con-
structed pottery YVES found everywhere;
some mCmmificd remains of small
race of people with long, plated hair,
and n few copper weapons were also
found. Finally they emerged into
an immense chamber, the dome of
which was several hundred feet above
their heads. But the Titanic nature of
the cavern did not excite their curiosity
rs much Us n strGnge-shaped object
which was dimly outlined in the center
of the chamber.
In their unbounded amazemcnt they
approached the uncanny object and
found it to be sailing vessel of mar
vclous symmetry and surprising beauty.
The deck was of rosewood or of come
material much resembling that vSlua-
bic cabinet timber, and the Eaasts of
ebony, polished as finely IS the case of
music-boX. The remains of sails
which hung idly around copper wire
ropes or cables proved that they had
bccn of pure yellow silk, almost as
thick ns q farmcr'G grain sack.
Tho vessel was upwards of one hundred
feet in lcnSt-. ;:ad some thirty broad.
AlthouCl thcrv wcrc many copper wires
