DRAUGHoN's BUSINESS COLLEGE
A Success From the Start Twenty
eight Enrolled the Past Week,

Twenty.eight students were en-
rolled the past week at Draughon's
Practical Business college, which is
located in the Tilson block, seven.
teen Of whom are from different
southern states. Several others
will enter next week Prof.
Draughon is to be congratulated on
his success, which is great, consid-
erlng the dull season of the year
and the fact that he had only
about thirty days in which to ad
vertise his Texarkana school.
He will remain in Texrrkana a
few days longer, and would be
pleased to have all who will perhaps
enter soon, call anil S 'e him at the
college office. To such persons he
will make a special rate,
Profs. Luman and Dacus will

Both of these gentlemen have been
associated with Prof. Draughon's
Nashville college, hence they are
well qualified tor the position they
now hold
Draughon's college not only gives
the best course of bookkeeping
found in the U. S.. and course in
the o'her departments second to

If Teller allows the Populists and
silver Republicans to run him for
President, now that it is known
that the Democratic party will de-
clare for free silver silver coinage
at the ratio Of 16 to !, it will be
proof positive that he knowingly
aids the Republicans and goldbugs,
for he and everybody wen know
that under such circumstances,
Republicanism and goldbugism is
sure to win all they want through
the Republican House Of Represen-
tatives, which will surely elect the

RAILROAD SPIKES.

The committee of the Board OF
Trade at Hot Springs are working
to get grounds for terminal use for
the X. C. p. 81 G. road The city
will be asked to donate the right of
way in some of the unused streets
and it is thought that by means
the terminal facilities can be easily
secured.
]. H. Mccarthy of Little Rock
and w. 7. Kelley, have been given
the contract to lay 70 miles of stee
rails from end of line from State
Line coming south to Horatio. The
road bed is graded for 30 miles and
they will commence and by the time
they have completed this stretch,
the graders will be advanced on
the other 40 miles, sufficiently to
keep them at work until the gap is
closed up, and then we will be in
direct connection with Kansas city.

lican party to respond to the desire
of the bankers and the sentiment
of the east for the insertion of a
clear demand for the maintenance
of the gold standard in the platform
they cast up accounts and reCkoned
what they could do.
1t was agreed that, in view of the
unpopularity of the gold standard
in the western states, it would re-
quire a campaign fund of Sc, 900, 900
to put Mckinley in the White
house. The men who were insistent
upon the insertion of gold in the
platform were asked what they
could do toward raising this fund.
The wires we're kept hot. Wall
street was communicated with, all
the great centers of finance were
hastily interviewed; the representa-
tives on the ground of the great
moneyed concerns were asked what
they had to offer. And the respon-
ses were so satisfactory that Mr..
Hanna and his associate managers
if he has associate managers
assented to the insertion of "gOld. "
Mr.. Hanna is to be made chair
man OF the national committee, and
he is to conduct the campaign on
the same plans-amplided of course
that he has heretofore put in
to force during the campaign tor
the nomination. The leaders fig
ured up that they could surely rely
upon 155 electoral votes, coming
from the following states: Connect
icut, Delaware, Maine, Massachu-
setts, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Wis
Consin.
It requires 224 electoral votes to
elect the president. Under Hanna's S
management 83 additional electoral
votes are to be obtained, (more
than enough by the free use of the
big campaign fund from the
following states: Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota,
These six states will be the battle
ground They have eighty three
electoral votes among them. These
eighty-three votes, added to the
l55 surely Republican votes, make
a total of 238. This would be four
teen votes more than necessary to
elect. The state of Michigan could
be lost, and still the Republicans
would be successful; or the states of
Minnesota and Delaware could 90
Democratic, if the Republicans held
Michigan, and still Mckinley could
win.
The managers concluded that,
with the probability of the Demo-
Gratis declaring tor free coinage at
Chicago, New York and New Jersey
would be sure for the Republicans
Maryland they regard as a doubtful
state. At any rate, they put gold
in the platform on the basis of the
bankers and manufacturers raising
enough money to buy the votes of
the states of Illinois, Indapa, Iowa,
Maryland. Michigan aud Minneso
ia.

MINERAL STATISTICS.
2fsS United States Again First In Gold
and Leading In Pig Iron.

The statistics collected for The Min
eral Industry, the annual statistical
supplement of The Engineering and
Mining Journal, show that the total
mineral and metal production Of the
United States for 1895 amounted in val
ne to 1928, $50, sos. The increase over
1894 was $84, 228, sos, or 1871 per cent.
For many of the articles included the
production was the highest on record.
The gold produced last year was 1895,
619 fine ounces, having total value of
$40, $50. 900. The increase over 1894
was 81, o6s. 095, and last year once more
put the United States in the front rank
as aproducer. The silver made was 49,
331, 285 ounces, and the commercial val
ne was $50, 254, 296. This is decrease
of 1918, $40 ounces from 1894.
Thepig iron production was the high
est on record, amounting to 8, 448, 8O8
long tons Here again the United States
takes first position as producer, hav-
ing made about 1000, 900 tons more
than Great Britain, its nearest competi-
tor. and about 900, 900 more than Ger-
many, which stands third. Nearly all
through the list the production reached
the enormous total Of 1913. 34S, 600 short
tons, putting this country very near the
tonnage of Great Britain, and showing
gain Of 26. 468, 900 tons over 1894.

work Done by Earthworrns.

In 1890 Alvan Millson, an employee
of the British colonial government at
Lagos, west Africa, made some remark
able observations on the work Of earth
worms For scores Of miles around
Lagos, he says, 1.-THE earth is literally
covered with cylindrical casts Of earth
brought to the surface by the worms.
In some places the earth is covered t.
the depth Of several inches with the &c
little cylinders, which have been caked
hard by the sun. Having removed these
casts from space of but two square
feet, weighed them carefully and found
that the weight was 1913 pounds. Els
timating b pounds to the square foot
as the amount of earth which these
creatures bring to the surface annually,
l find that they bring up an average Of
not less than 2,233 long tons of subsoil
to each acre of farm land in this vicin-
ity. st. Louis Republic.

compelled to receive their fees in it, and
John Wolford, the storekeeper, with
