Some person of a malicious disposition

director of the census and selected pro
rata from the states upon the recOmmen-
dation of congressman, and that $1,000
more appointments upon congressional
and senatorial recommendation will
follow during the early spring and
summer. AZ natural consequence,
Washington is rapidly filling up with
candidates, and the congressional mails
are loaded with applications. The
members of congress suspect that this
cruel story must have been invented by
some civi-service reformer to punish
them for refusing to place the census
enumeratOrs within the classified service,
but whoever is responsible has caused
a great deal of annoyance. There will
probably be as many as 10000 or $1,000

IS VERY PRETTY THE FRISCO PAINTING AT THE FIRST PREsBY-
 TERRAIN CHURCH
N. HEERWAGEN, ARTIST.
Did the Work-Graduate of Art School of
 Berlin.

Our reporter viewed the First Pres .oyterian Church 8 few days ago up- on the completion of the fresco paint ing of the walls and ceiling. We must congratulate the congregation for having secured such a talented artist as Mir. Paul M. Heerwagen. of Little Rock, to execute the work. The members have every reason to feel proud of the work of art, for it is certainly one of the finest and hand somest decorations in the South west and is hard to beat.
 MT. Heerwagen, who is q gradI- ate of the art school of Berlin, has. in the lasr seven years, decorated some of the finest and most costly churches in New York. Chicago, De- troit, Philadelphia and other places. previous to his residence in Arkan- sas.
 The building aLd architecture of the First Presby terian church are strictly Romanesque; the designs have been kept in the same style and thereby produced a complete effect, as the designs completes the archi- lect's plans. The eolors were mixed to match the stained glass windows and carpets, and by such unison the decorations produce grand and imposing effect, and at the same time he softness and harmony of colors give mellow ,sabdued and re- fined impression which is sufficient proof of the perfectness that was used in the designing and e0loring. The neatness of the decOrati ons is, proof of the excellence of the work.
 Mir. Heerwagen sGperintended the. work of execution and with large force completed same in four weeks. The prevailing colors are the olive tints, internIxed with the soft tones. of tans and bGffs, all of winch are richly decorated with gold.

JONES IS GUILTY CHARGED WITH FALSE lM- PkiSONMENT-FINED
 $1oo AND COSTS
FORCED MASON TO MARRY
His Sister, Miss Ollie Jones, By Detaining Him With
 Shotgun.


 In the circuit court Thursday the case of the State against James Jones. charged with false imprison- ment for detaining one J. P. Mason of his liberty on March 9th, 1899, was tried by Jury and found guilty. The sentence imposed was $100 and costs. Hon. w. B, Sorrells repre-. sented the State and Mr. H. R. c. Foster the defendant. The case oc- cuped the docket for the day. The result of the finding by the jury was of interest to both sides, inasmuch as there is divorce proceeding in chaneery wherein J. P. Mason, by his attorneys, seeks a divorce from Ollie Mason, whom he was. as al legged in the complaint, forced to marry on March 8th 1899 by Jones havicg a shot gun at his side durlng the ceremony and while awaiting the arrival of tte Justice of Peace. Mrs. Mason seeks alimony in the di. voree proceedings. Mason denies the charges preferred against him and seeks absolute divorce.
 The unlawful detention of his lib erty, by the finding of the jury Tn the Jones case, has no bearing on the merits of the divorce proceed ings.

IN ARKANSAS
Ohio Republicans Seek to Raise 3
 Gamgaign Fund.

The Ohio Republican State Cen tral Committee is seeking to raise a campaign fund in this State for use in the state campaign in Ohio, and with that end in view have sent a circua" letter to all Federal office holders and postmasters in this State and others.
 But it happens that every post. master in Arkansas is not a Re. publican, and recently one of these circulars fell into the hands of a Democratic postmaster in this State by whom it was sent to the Graphic for publication.
 The circular letter follows, and we call the especial atten tion of our readers to the manner in which the Ohio Republicans seek to evade the civil service laws:
 Office of Finance Committee, Ohio Republican State Executive Com- mittee, Board of Trade Building, Columbus.
 Dear Sir: A Democratic victory in Ohio this fall would carry with it almost full control of the political machinery of the State, thus ena- bling the opposition to entrench itself for the presidential campaign of 190).
 A special session of the legisla- ture, called by a Democratic gov ernor, would redistrlct tEe State for congressional purposes under tbe apportionment of 1900, tnereoy re- ducing the Republican representa- tion from this State in the lower house of Congress, and, perhaps en- lingering our majority in that body. These facts, it seems to us, will forcibly appeal to every Repub- Iican.
 We hope you will be willing to contribute to the legitimate expen ses. of the State Committee, in its efforts to maintain Republican su-

TIE ROUNDLAP BALE
sR IRREsIsTIBLE DEMAND EXIST FOR COTTON PACKED IN THE
 NEW WAY.
Some Fac'S AbOut the Method. of the American Cotton Company and Its amT mTaig1-Profts in the New
 Method of Ealing,

The South is still conservative, but it is no longer slow" It is sharing in the wonderful prosperity of the rest of the country. 1t is passing through a revolution that is giving new life and yigor to every branch of the cotton industry, ex- cepting those members whicl. have been hurtfnl, instead of helphtul. to it's prosperity. It is simplifying, strengthening and using new econ omy i'll the packing and handling of the staple. The Roundlap method of baling cotton is growing rapidly Tn favor, adding to the prosperity of the planter, whether he raises two bales or two numbered, and giving the gin owner an opportun- ity to double the earning capacity of his plant without increasing his investment.
 The opposition to the Roundlap bale on the part of the compress owners and the middlemen, whose business has been a burdensome tax on the cotton planter. has Rot pre- vented the steady introduction of the machinery for making the Round lap bale, and the satisfaction of the farmer, the ginner aud the mill owner. The attacks on the Amer ican Cotton Company, owners of the Roundlap ballng machine have been bitter and interruptions. They have been accused of attempting to gain monopoly. of using trust" methods. but gradually the facts are gaining head way that the American Cotton Company is only one of three concerns engaged in making round baling presses, and that it can not enjoy any monopoly.
 Then, again, objection is made to the policy adopted by the company of leasing it's machinery to the gin owner instead of selling it. The hlease is, in effect, a royalty. the amount of the rental being based on the amount of cotton baled in the press, thus making the profit and prosperity of the company depend on that of the ginner. Under the leasing system, it is found, the gin ner runs no risk, ties up none of his capita and makes as much profit out of the leased attachment to his ginnery as from the ginnery itself, In which his capital is invested.
 The advantages of the Roundlap bale over the old style bale are so many and so great that it's general introduction will be rapid. and the greatest sharers in the profits will be those who perceive earliest the ten dency of the times and prepare themselves to supply the new de mand. The greater simplicity of the hale. saving ties and bagging, it's greater security from fire and conse- uueDt lower insurance, it's saving ln shipping and it's rapidly growing nonplarity in the mills at home and abroad. all make up situation that creates 3 demand for the Rounuiap hale which must be supplied.

Little Things.
1t was only little thing for Nell
To brighten the kitchen fire,
To spread the cloth, to draw the tea,
AS her mother might desire
A little thing; but her mother smiled,
And banishcd all her care,
And a day that was sad closed bright
and glad,
With song OF praise and prayer.
Twas only little thing to do
For sturdy lad like Ned
To groom the horse, to milk the COW,
And bring the wood from the shed;
But his father was glad to find at night
The chores were all we'll done.
81 am thankful" said he, "as I can be
For the gift OF such son."
Only small things, but they brighten
life,
Or shadow it with care,
But little things, yet they mold life
For joy or sad despair;
But little things, yet life's best prize,
The reward which labor brings,
Comes to him who uses, and not abuses,
The power OF little things.
