Lawyers Predominant.

The conditions of the next gen.
eral assembly are somewhat I'M
usual. The lawyers and farmers
predominant both branches, but
the lawyers are largely In the ma.
jority. We are afraid there will
be too many new laws, and cer-
tainly the usual ninety-day session
will not be shortened with all these
young statesmen TO be heard from.
AS noted heretofore in these col
umns, all the members of both
houses arc democrats except two
of the lower house, William B.
Moss, of Newton, and Joseph G
Evans, of Searcy, who are repub-
licans. There is not populist in
either branch. The oldest senator
is J. D. Kimbell, of Hot Springs,
aged "a, and the youngest, Eugene
Landlord, of DeVall's Bluff, aged
%. The oldest representative is
Joseph Howard, Of Pope, aged 10,
and the youngest is Clarence G.
Henderson, of Randolph, aged 81.
In the senate occupations are rep
resented as follows: Lawyers, "a;
farm ers, 6; teachers, 2. The house
is more cosmopolitan, as will be
seen from the following: Circuit
clerk, /; teachers, 9; lawyers, AZ;
merchants, 5; farmers, 81; editors,

The only successor that:Winnie
Davis leaves in the south is her

and her father left behind as an
everlasting monument of the fidel-
ity and trust that has been planted
in the hearts of their people.
JEFF Davis successor as "Presi-

never needed and no clamor was
aroused over il, for, as all know,

down to The tomb with him the

Now let his daughter and our

have no discrimination between
the dead and the living "Confedor

never fill acceptably the 4dear de-

Cotton.

The bureau of satisfies of the
treasury department has been at
work compiling a table Of cotton
statistics in order to find not the
real but a plausible reason for the
decline in price in the past quarter
of a century.
The figures show that in 1872
the United States produced 1884,
084, 494 pounds, with an average
price Of % 10 cents a pound, and
in 1898 crop of 1861 1872, 051
pounds, with an average price OF
6.23 cents pound. That produc-
ton had increased moro than four
fold and prices were little more
than a fourth those of twenty-five
years ago. That in 1872 we pro.
duced 70 per cent of the worlds
crop and IS per cent in 1898. The
The main point sought to be made
is that the worlds increased pro-
duction, the increase coming in
great part from the United States,
has outrun the worlds consump-
tive demand out Of all proportion
and that the fall in prices is logi-
cally and wholly due to the legiti-
mate operation of the law Of sup
ply and demand.
AS to our own consumption, and
that of Europe, it would be gov.
erned wholly by two things, in
creased population and the rela-
tive prosperity in the regions
named. There has been no new
fiber or textile product to interfere
with the ordinary demand for cot
ton and no change in its relative
demand for clothing and other
uses.
But in the meantime a great
part Of the world in Asia, con.
tanning moro population than all
Europe and the United States
combined, which, tw enty.fve years
ago was practically walled off from
the worlds trade, has been opened,
and as matter of fact, China,
Japan, and Southern Asia east of
India, and India itself, are coun,
tries where cotton will make cloth.
ing not only for inner but for outer
wear. Why has not the opening
of that country to the worlds
commerce brought about a natural
demand? For the simple reason
that that country works and earns,
as of old on a silver basis. 1t
must pay either for raw or manu-
featured cotton on q gold basis,
and its possible purchasing and
import power is cut in half in
figures and more than cut in halt
in fact. In halving the purchas-
ing power of the dollar in China
and in all silver using countries,
we have cut down their importing
power and raised a barrier of our
own creation against our export to
them as efficient as the old barrier
tn at these countries had abolished.

eAsVs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN
A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.

cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on hisright
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side Of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparills, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine.n MRS. S. s. WRorEN, Farming

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
S3rofuIous Humors - How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the kttle sufferer had
TO be watched continually to keep hila
from scratching the sores. We became
gree ty alarmed at his condition. My
WIFE mother had had scrofuia and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsa parillas We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very sooa. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
