ED. CHAMBERS TO THE RESCUE.
MIR. &. @. Smith Now IN Washington
Trying to Save the State.

Washington, Feb. 21. (Special)
There is quite little storm centre of
North Carolina politicians gathered
here tonight, including Major w. A..
Guthrie, Capt. II. B. PEBBLES and Ed
Chambers Smith. ] am informed that
Smith, Mott and Butler are in confer
csnce.
1t seems that Smith is trying to
f,aTn some common plan ito save the
State To the white people" 1t is said
uha4 Harry Skinner is heartily with
him in this new move, but that Mott
has not been entirely won over yet.
The object seems to be TO get Butler
and Skinner together. If not, il may
kr that Skinner will quit Butler and
join Smith in his new move. II Mott
sos't come in, the inference may be
sprung that he is not so much cut
loose from the Republicans as all his
recent silver shouting would indicate.
.rke result of the conference will be
interesting.

What II Bon Costs.

It costs a good deal t G
raise a boy. There is a
man in this town who opened
account with his eldest son
when he was born, and has
kept it faithfully, charging
him with every cent he paid
out on his account, except
for his board when at home.
The boy was 81 not long ago
and the father nearly para
lyzed him by handing him
a bill for $1978, 80, being the
amount necessary to keep
him alive and reasonably
happy, Of course the father
will not force collection so
far as to foreclose on the
property, but it was an eye
opener for the young man,
He had no idea he had been
bought with such a price.
--Iola (Kas.) Register.
If that Kansas man had
lived in Arkansas, he would
not have to kick about the
price of raising a boy. Here
we raise 'em and it don't
cost a cent. When they are
small, we put 'em on a stump
aud the woodpeckers feed
'em, and after they get so
they can get down and shift
for themselves lthey e a t
acorns, black haws, whortle
berries, ect. AS to shoes,
why, they can 60 barefooted
all the year round, and most
any old -four sack will do for
a PAIR of pants. No sir,
your boy won't cost you a
cent to raise him here, sc
quit kicking and come right
along and settle among us,

You can't Fool A Boy.

Woman can't read a boys
nature as a man can, and
they might as well own up.
The Fort street mother who
yesterday sent her boy to a
drug store with a bottle and
a sealed note imagined that
she was sharper than the
serpent's tooth, when she
wrote to the druggist;
Send me a pint of port
wine, and write on the label
p. W.-Poison." The drug
gist followed orders, and
when the boy got outside he
tore off the wrapper a n d
read the label,

A correspondent of t h e
Chicgo Tim e s-H e r a d,
writing of the wholesale
emigration southwark from
Nebraska says: Z
1T is no longer westward,
but southwark that the star
of empire takes its way.
The march of emigration is
making a wide sweep toward
the milder climate of the
South. Men are beginning
to discover that it is i'm
mense waste of energy and
money to spend more than
one-half of their earnings
and two.thirds of their
time in the mere effort to
keep warm and comfortable,
when they may have that
condition for nothing.
While figures can n OF b e
obtained, a conservative
estimate would place til e
number of emigrants last
year at from so, 900 to W,
900. Of t h e Southern
States benefited, Arkansas
has Jared the best, securing
probably one-half of those
who have left"

ArtichOkeS For Hogs.

A correspondent to the
Texas Farm and Ranch
from Fayetteville, Ark,
writes:
| saw an article in a recent
issue of a paper from Mr..
Eli Heaton, Of Howard
county, Indiana, about
raising artichokes for hogs
l wish to emphasize every
word Mr.. Heaton says about
their value as a hog crop,
| am quite an extensive hog
raiser and raise them for my
hogs. l am of the opinion
that the improved artichoke
(and | would not have the
old worn out kind) is one Of
the most healthy crops we
can raise for hogs. | b e.
lieve that if an extra acre or
two be planted in artichokes
adjoining the pasture, and
fenced by itself so the hogs
can be turned in after the
tubers are ripe in the fall,
that hog cholera will never
visit that farm. Artichokes
can be planted either in the
fall or spring the same as
potatoes. Cultivate t h c
first season, and then sufh-
cient tubers will be left in
the ground for the next year
without cultivation but keep
them out during summer.

Teach The Children.

That teasing is a positive
crime.
That they must eat bread
before cake.
That bed time is not a
movable" hour.
That they must speak
respectfully to the servants.
That bawling over bruises
is unworthy sturdy beings.
That they shoul6 n o t
appeal from the decision of
one parent to the other.
That punishment follows
in the wake of prevarication
and of hiding more swiftly
than it follows active mis-
chief.
That it is in bad taste for
them to tell all that they
learn Of t h e neighbors'
d o m es tic arrangements
through plrying with the
neighbors' children.

When we get good roads
in Arkansas? When we
cease to depend on old and
worthless road laws that we
have tried for more than fifty
years, and that have never
built a mile of good road.
When shall we get good
rq.sds? When we want
them bad enough to tax our
selves for the money neces-
sary to build them-not
sooner. Will it pay to tax
ourselves even heavily for
good roads? Ask the people
of those communities which
have tried the experiment,
Arkansas Democrat.
We can't vote a road tax
until we have a change i II
the constitution, and that
change should come at the
forthcoming meeting of the
legislature. The Blade is
in favor of electing our rep
resentative to the Legislature
on this issue of good roads.
When our nominations will
have been made, the Blade
is in favor of making them
walk the chalk line and let
us know right where they
stand. Black Rock Blade.

A small boy was sent to a
neighbor's to get so m e
turnip greens, The lady
loaned him her little knife to
cut them. He wanted it,
and having concealed it in
the sack with the greens,
told her he had lost it. He
carried the knife home, and
his mother, knowing the
circumstances, permitted
him to keep it. This act
proved to be the cause of his
ruin in after life. Years
afterwards, when led upon
the scaffold to be hung,
facing the audience, and,
referring to the stealing OF
the knife, he pointed to his
grief stricken mother and
said, "You are to blame for
