Charter Surrendered.

Stockholders of the Arkansas and Mis-
souri, Yellow Pine Lumber Company
met in Little Rock recently and decided
to surrender the company's charter and
dissolve. The reasons assigned for the
dissolution are overproduction and the
Generalization of prices. 1t appears
that the organized efforts were unable
to accomplish any good, and that no
other course was left but to throw up
the sponge. The result is that here
after it will be free-and-easy field so
far as the yellow-pine lumbermen are
concerned. 1t is stated that the low
prices of the product of the mills have
necessitated several failures.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.


Commissioner Vincenheller recently
visited st. Louis and inspected the
states space at the exposition. Arkan-
sas will have the only agricultural and
horticultural exhibit at the regular au-
tumn fair to be held in that city, and it
is being advertised as one of the great
attractions. The fair opens September 8
and continues 40 days. The space
consists of 10000 square feet most adj
mirably and conspicuously located be-
tween the two art galleries and inn
mediately fronting the music hall. 1t
is provided with the furniture used by
Missouri at the Chicago exposition,
which cost 81, 200. Arkansas fruit on
= fat pine table successfully competed
against this display in 1898, and that it
will be doubly attractive when exhib-
tied in sumptuous setting goes without
saying. Commissioner Vincenheller
will begin in short time to ship fruit
for cold storage and he expects to have
q magnificent exhibit collected by the
opening of the exposition.

The Result Of Auditor Mills Debt Clear
ing-Trip to New York City.

State Auditor c. b. Mills returned
from New York recently, having carried
out his mission of investigating the
whereabouts of alleged illegal bonds
carried Oh the books as part of the
states outstanding Indebtedness. Aud
assured that he would find 75 of these
bonds. He found "a of the 65 issue,
and rs good bonds of the so series;
also, six Holford bonds and a large
amount of coupons. All except four OF
them had been deposited with the
Union Trust company by exTreasurer
Henry Page in 1874, subject to the order
OF the treasurer of Arkansas. These
bonds were all on deposit there when
Gov. Eagle and the state board had
turned over to them in 1891 the 90 bonds
funded by the United States govern
ment. 1t was ascertained that the
bonds were deposited by an attorney
for Page. They have appeared from
time to time in the official statements
of the states outstanding indebtedness.
The state has paid out 80 of the alleged
illegal bonds and will get back % valid
bonds, and thus in the end the state
will be out only about $4,000, the
amount of five bonds paid. There will
be difference of 5000, 900 in the debt
statement of Arkansas. The ferreting
out of the valid bonds make reduc-
ton in excess of that amount on the
outstanding Indebtedness.
Auditor Mills says that his investi
cations have failed to disclose that ex-
Governor Powell Clayton was in any
wise connected with the issuance of the
bonds referred to.

Great Britain need no longer loso any sleep over the threats of Americans. They carry within themselves germs of self-destructiOn. The republic Is honey combed with pestilential microbes The nation that Is in cold blood debating whether or not it will pay its just obliga- tiOns, is pretty far advanced in decline. While the demand of the silverites may be turned aside this time, we may rest as- sured that the horse thief party will keep at 1t until they have consumated the will lany they have in view. Let us no longer los" any sleep over the threats of the Uni ted States. They are themselves on the verge of disruption.
