EXPRESS CHARGES ON A PIG.

Rocky Comfort, Ark Mar ~
Are we in need Of legislation regu-
lating express companies chargesY
I received a pig yesterday ship
ped per express from Nashville,
Howard county, Arkansas, via Hope
and Texarkana to Allene, in Little
River county. One hundred pounds
was the gross weight Of the pig and
the box. The distance from Texar-
kama to Allene, Ark, is tbirty'two
miles. The distance from Nashville
to Texarkana is greater The eX'
press charges from Nashville to
Texarkaua we're IS cents. The eX-
press charges from TeSarkana to
Allene we're $l,35, making a total
of $2.lO.
Did the express company charge
too little from Nashville to TeXar-
kama, or did the express company
charge too much from Texarkana
to Allene2 Very truly yours
N. A. GEORGE,
Mr. George, we think, should have
given the pig for payment OF the
charges, and then retired to the
wood shed and "cussed" the grasp
ing monopoles that are infesting
this country
lam prepared to furnish gravel,
sand or fertilizers, in any quanty

A P.e:-e dispatch Of late date, for
whose veracity we canno vouch, states
that: State warrants went to register
to-day for the first time since the winter
0 1880 when for a short time on acCot mt
OF the organic It on Of the new state
fu dds were short. The legislature fail d
to pass the governors - usual Deficiency
b I'D BILL and to repeal the funding
war; ant act, as had beer recommended,
ar though, Treasurer Phillips requested
G pvrruDr Lea a month ago TO authorize
the issuance Of funding warrants he re-
fused to do SO. To-day finding that war
rants were to be registered he tried TO
induce Commissioner LDcknHrt to let
the state have 80, 900 OF TIE state school
mon-y in retur for funding warrants,
but ,hs latter refused. Unless funding
warrants are sold it is likely that state
warrants will depreciate largely.

The new tariff bill was promptly intro
a ID means committee as soon rs congress
was organized and the presidents mess
age read. 1t is hoped to get ii pass ed
by July /. 1t is estimated that it will In
crease the revenues about $10,0O0,0OO a
year. Much Of this will come from tie
increase OF sugar and wool duties, the
form. r to the extent OF % or 80 millions
and the latter about % millions. The
revenues from these sources, however,
may not cut much figure for the first
year unless the bill is passed very quick
~ as immense stocks of wool and raw
material for sugar are about to berushed
mo the tariff bill passes, when
ImportatloLs will almost entirely cease.

Thousands Taken From the Over
flowed Lands of Eastern
Arkansas
Now Being Cared for by the
Memphis Citizens Relief
H.
Committee.
News Hourly Expected of Breaks
in the Levees North and
South.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March l7.-Nearly
1000 homeless and half starved por-
sons, rescued from the overfiowed dis
tricts of Eastern Arkansas, are being
cared for in this city. The refugees
are mostly negroes of the lower classes,
who show scant appreciation of the
charity extended. The citizens relief
committee is practically backed by un.
limited capital, merchants, bankers
and corporations having subscribed
great sums of money to prosecute the
work of rescuing the inhabitants of the
territory, 40 miles north and an equal
distance south of Memphis. The
entire government feet stationed
here, through Captain Fitch, en-
gineer in charge, has been pressed
into service. Manned by crews familiar
with the Father of Waters, the fleet
gives great assistance to other rescue
steamers. The situation is critical.
News is expected hourly Of breaks in
the levees in either direction, and
when this happens, as it surely will,
the loss to property and stock will
reach into the thousands. The first
loss of life has been reported, a whole
family of five negroes having been
drowned at Marion. Sensational stories
Of wholesale drowning at Modena,
Ark, are denied by steamer hands from
the scene. The gauge reads 1874 feet,
a rise in the past ~ hours. Railroad
trains to and from the east arrive and
depart without reference to schedules.
All tracks except the Iron Mountain
are submerged, and the Kansas City
and Little Rock road use the Iron
Mountains roadway. 1t is expected
by night hat the rescue steamers viii
land another thousand refugees on the
Chickasaw bluffs.
