these things can be grown in sui fcient quantities to ship in car load lots, thereby securing cheap transportation. There is no ques- tion but that ten fold more money can be realized by small farmers from fruits and vegetables than can be by growing cotton, and the people along thls line of railway should begin to realize this fact and profit thereby. All fruits and vegetables that can be shipped long distances can be grown and sent to the northern markets days and weeks ahead of those grown to the north of us and 1t is these that bring quick and good money. Many of our people are prepar- ing for this work, but to get best results they should organize and work in a systematic manner as to what to grow and best manner of making shipments.

TO COLLECT THE TAX.

When Mena was established the townsite company provided in their ddoods of transfer that hat 2l 2 per cent of the selling price of all real property should be paid for the support of our public schools and for street and park improvement, 1 per cent to the school fund and II per cent to the street and park fund. On all sales made by the company this tax has been paid but no systematic effort has been made to collect from sales made by others, some refusing because they questioned the legality of the provision.
 As mentioned by the Star last week the school board at recent meeting authorized John Hamil- ton, the president, to make test case by bringing suit with a view of carrying it to the supreme court and the city council last week de- cided to cooperate with the school board and appointed Councilman Sutherland to act with Mir. Ham ilton and assist hlm in pushing a case to a final decision.
 The specifications in the deeds from the company regarding this tax provides that if it is not paid at the time of the transfer it be- comes lien on the property and the matter now assumes no little importance as many thousands of dollars worth of property has been sold upon which this tax has not been paid.

The South on McKinIey,s Speech.


 It is fitting that the manly and pat rio,ic words of President Mckinley, vibrant with good fellowship and elo- quent with sincerity, should have been spoken in Augusta, where thirty odd years ago he faced in deadly conflict some of the very men who were gath cred with him last night around the festive banquet board,
 From the Charleston News and Courier Dem.)
 Whatever the primary meaning of his words, the interpretation that will be put upon his utterances everywhere throughout the South will be their true meaning-the close union of all the people of the United States in loy- alty to the country.
 From the Washington Star (Dem.)
 It was not only grand speech in as far as it paid such high tribute to tine Confederate soldier, dead and to the Confederate soders, and sons and grandsons of Confederate soldiers liv- ing and dead, but it was d significant speech.
 New Orleans Times Democrat (Dem).
 Mckinley will still be q gainer, for he has put a sympathetic finger on a soft spot in the hearts of Southern men and women, and by doing so has laid them under an obligation to which they will not cease to give greatful recognition.
 From the Nashville Banner (Dem).
 This utterance from President Me Kinley, Republican and an ex-Union soldier. is authoritive. It marks the end, not only of sectional ill-feeling, but of sectional mistrust.
 From the Savanah News (Dem.).
 President MeKinley's patriotic trib- ute to the heroic dead of the Confeder- ate cause, paid in the course of his speech to the Georgia legislature, will be much appreciated by the people of the South.
 From the New Orleans Picayune (Dem.).
 He is the first Repu blican president who has been regarded as truly the chief magistrate of the entire Union He is so regarded, and has been treat ed accordingly.
 From the Richmond Times (Dem.).
 Mir. McKinley's public addresses have been so full of generous sentiments beautifully expressed that the people have been moved to enthusiasm. From the Arkansas Gazette (Dem).
 The South cannot but concur in the sentiments expressed by Mr. Mckinley, and applaud him for his courage in de- livering them.

Looking For His Sister.

The Harper (Kan.) Sentinel says: "A little foreigner about 10 years old was the center of interest here last Satur- day and Sunday. He was probably an Armenian. His name was found to be Si George and he came to Harper in search for his sister, Lena George The little fellow could speak no En- glish. Efforts to find out something about him at the Kansas City Union depot were unavailing, and the depot master placed him in charge of P. J. Quigley, who was on his way home to Harper, which place card showed to be the boys destination. Mir Quigley says the little traveller came all the way from the old country by himself He clung tenaciously to his grips, and it was only with great difficulty that he was induced to leave the depot Mr. Jesse Murphy was the first to win his confidence, and Jesse took him Sunday night, and the following night he went to Agent Hart's home. On Tuesday he was sent to Anthony. where he found his sister. who is a peddler"

GROSS INJUSTICE.

A dispatch to the city papers from Washington dated Dec. 17, says:
 Secretary Day and Whitelaw Reid will receive at least $l00,00U each for assisting in the peace commissions in Paris James Bassett Moore, secre- tary of the peace commission, will re- ceive $50, GOO for his services in Paris. Senators Davis, Frye and Gray, under the law, cannot draw two salaries and they will have only their expenses paid in addition to their senatorial sal aries.
 It is such acts of favoritism and wanton expenditure of the public funds that is causing the people to feel like revolting against ex- isting conditions. To say that there is any justice or principles of right in the payment of such huge fees for less than three months work is to insult the in telligence of every producer of wealth and tax payer in this coun- try, and the men who connlve at the payment of such fees from the public treasury should be held up to the public gaze as boodlcrs in- stead of patriots.
 It is stated further that Mir. Day and Mir, Moore resigned the per manent positions they previously held as secretary and assistant secretary of state so they could secure these fees which is ad ditional evidence to show that they are boodlers instead of patri ots.
 We often sec it stated that leg islation cannot be enacted to help the industrial classes. That they must depend upon their labor and what they can produce for their prosperity, but it would appear that legislation has been enacted to help q few men or to permit the public treasury to be footed in their interest.
 Since the above was in type the announcement is made from Washington that no such fees as named will be paid or was ever contemplated, all of which we are pleased to learn. We, however, point to the above and say, "thcm's our sentiments" anyway, regard garding propositions or transac tions, for unquestionably it is only by the protestations of the people that similar plundcring schemes are prevented.
