This story was told on a promise that
names would not be given, but nothing
was said about initials.
All the gentlemen mentioned are from
Ohio county. At the Governors reeep-
ton j. H., formerly Prosecuting Attor-
ney, was engaged in conversation with
a charming young lady OF Charleston,
who is An accomplished linguist. He
brought forward, and presented Mr.. b.,
delegate, and mentioned something
about the scenery along the Rhine.
"Sprechen Sc Deutche?" asked the
young lady. and ii opened upl a very
pleasant conversation for Mr.. lB. Mr..
j. H. asked TO be permitted to present
Mr.. H. w. Nc, stating that he was a
very influential German who could
speak no other language. After the in
PRODUCTION she addressed him in Ger
nan, and Mr.. Nc. stared in open
mouthed amazement, while a group of
friends enjoyed his very evident en-
barrassment-his first offense of that
character, they say, in many years.

with a view to injuring his candidacy.
He is accused if issuing Ohio River
railroad passes to persons in the upper
end of the State to enable them to
come here and take part in his cam
paign. This information is always ac-
companied by a very serious and libel
u charge against the Governor. 1t
comes from the Scott workers that
Tuesdays meeting in the Governors
private Office was merely a eombina-
ton of coal operators who aim I o
strike Elkins through Scott. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that the kanawha val
ley coal interests were strongly repre-
sented in the conference.

Auditor LaFollette is very proud of
the fact that in his annual report,
which will be made public within a few
days, it will be shown that every sher-
III, with the single exception of the
sheriff of Mcdowell county, has bal
anced his account with the State. The
Auditor claims that the sum due the
State by sheriffs has never before even
been less than $100, 900.

Some important bills have already
been introduced in the House. Two
OF these have a bearing on the same
subject, the execution of condemned
felons. One provides for the substitu-
ton of eleetrocution for hanging, and
the other provides that all executions
u take place within the walls OF
the penitentiary at Moundsville. Both
viii find favor with many members of
both branches. In connection with the
same subject, Senator Baker proposes
TO introduce a bin, providing that at
taches of the prison must convey pris-
oners fro% the counties in which they
are convicted, in much the same man
ner as insane persons are taken q the
hospitals. Such a Measure will no
doubt meet with the opposition Of the
Sheriffs in every county in the State,
but will result in a saving of many
thousands OF dollars annually.

as well as the planters and they arc compelled to dispose of zheir cotton to meet their obligations. The cas- tern and Liverpool spinners are the ones who reap the benefit from our mistaken system of farming.
 The only farmer in the South who is able to hold his cotton is the one who diversifes his crops-the one who makes his own living out of his farm and grows cotton because of it's stap- leness and because it can be turned in to cash any day in the year The farmer who makes his farm selfsus- taining and who is not in debt to the banker or supply merchant can hold his cotton for year if he should choose to do so
 The-one crop planter who must ob- tain advances from his banker or mer- chant to make his crop must turn his bales loose upon the market as soon as they are rolled out of the press, or as many of them as are necessary to sat isfy his creditors. Until this system of farming Is abandoned the market will always be glutted with cotton during the early fall months, and this means lower prices.
 Many planters in the South are sim ply toiiing from one years end to an- other for the eastern and European manufacturers. Could they utilize theIr farms so as to raise such products as are needed to sustain themselves and their workers, both man and beast, they could very easly hold their cotton and thus dictate it's price. Until there is radical change in the system of cotton planting there can be no change in the system of mark beting the staple. -Arkansas Gazette.

PITTsBuRo s GULF PLANS.

A dispatch to the Kansas City Star from New York, dated Aug. I5, announces that the Stilwell committee of Kansas City, Pitts burg & Gulf security holders has perfected its plans for the reor ganlzation of tho company.
 The dispatch also states that E. l.. Martin. vice president of the Guardian Trust company, former ly president and vice president of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad, returned this morn ing from trip to Europe, where he went last May to consult with the Dutch bondholders of the Pittsburg & Gulf.
 II found the European holders of Pittsburg & Gulf bonds, said he, in favor of independent re. organization of the road. They are pleased with the past manage ment of the road, and arc not anxious to part with the bonds they hold"
 In response to questions MT. Martin said: 'sThe Chicago X Alt ton people are exerting them selves to get hold of the Pittsburg & Gulf. They are buying up all tho stocks and bonds in the mar ket. But they can't get hold of a controlling interest. Half the bonds are held in Europe. They are not Tn the market. Most of the stock IS in the United States, l believe. but 1 don't thing the Chicago X Alton can buy this up. 1t will be safe to say that the road will remain in the hands of it's friends"

JUST THlNKi

Ii is only three years ago the 18th of August that the formal opening or birth of Mena as n town occurred. Three years ago not q dozen houses were standing oil the townslte, many of the people, as we'll as business men. living and conducting the sales of their wares under canvas. Only three years ago only few scores of people claimed Mena as their home, while now fully 1000 people are proud that they live in such a progressive and rapid growing town.
 It is within the last three years that the hundreds of neat homes and substantial brick and frame business houses have been built, and to-day there arc more under construction and contract than at anY one time since the birth of the town three years ago.
 TAree years ago Mena was not tAe county seat, but now all the county business must be trans acted here, and soon the substan bal new court house and iail will be completed for the use of the people at Aicna as the county seat.
 10 those who sec the mans miils and factories in operation: the extenslye lee plant, the excellent telephone system, the waser works system now being put in: the numerous business houses and nice residences; the mi.es of graded streets and pretty parks: the academy being erected on College Hill. We must say to these people that all this has been done within Il period of three years.
 Verily when We sec the growth maas. and view tho encouraging prospects ahead, all the citizens of Nena us we'll as all the people of Arkansas have reason to be proud of this three year old town.

Ship Canal Is In Use.

Port Arthur. Texas, August 13-Port Arthur is no longer seaport simply on paper; she is seaport in fact. The people no longer need to refer to the time when ''our ship comes in;" she is here
 The steamship St. Oswald. decorat ed with flags and streamers, entered the port of the canal at o'clock today; steamed through the canal at a speed of eight miles an hour and at ten min utes after ? o'clock was tied up to the wharf in slip No. where she was royalty welcomed by almost the entire population of the city. St. Oswald is steelclad steamer BIO feet long, forty wide and of 40 900 tons capacity, and when fully loaded draws twenty-two feet of water.
 For two years past assertions have been freely made that the canal would never be finished, that it was not prac- tical and was only townsite scheme.

A Disgrace To France.

That Captain Dreyfus shall be ac-
 quilted seems to be the determination
 of his enemies. While his defense has
 been well conducted. it has not so
 much strengthened his cuse as the
 conduct of the prosecution. Public sentiment will be quickened in favor of Dreyfus by the attempted assassin ation of his counsel, Nj. Labori, whose action throughout has been within the line of his duty.
 It is remarkable circumstance tha while Captain Dreyfus has been the only party subjected to formal and physical degradation, his reputation has, on the whole, suffered less than that of any other prominent person in the whole transaction. The enormous burden of shame has fallen, not on the prisoner of Devils Island, but on his accusers. It may be believed that even in the minds of the honest ene- mics of Dreyfus, Esterhazy counts as a more degraded character than Dreyfus, and there are others.
 1t is greatly to be regretted that France as nation has suffered in the worlds estimation from the Dreyfus affair. The innocent have been con. fused with the guilty, The good and patriotic and fair and just people -of whom there must be some millions Tn France--have been involved in the cen sure provoked by the action of the conspirotors, civil and military, and their dupes and followers. About all of the parties in France have come in for share of distrust and contempt, but most of all, the An ti-Semitlc party, which has bounded Dreyfus merely because he was Jew. A considerable portion of this party is at present under arrest, charged with engaging with the royalists in conspiring against the existing government. The result of the pending examination should be and certainly would be in any civilized country save, perhaps, France -the discharge of Dreyfus This should happen not only because justice would be done, but because the further demoralization and disgrace of France might be checked or arrested.
 The French army, for whose honor the proceeding against Dreyfus were ostensibly begun, and have been car ried on, has suffered greatly. the in tegrity of the highest officers has been A general of high stand ing, wearing his uniform, has been hlssed in an open court as false wit ness. France cannot to soon hear the last of the Dreyfus case and cease to suffer further injuries. It is to be feared the damage done IS irreparable. Kansas City Star.

Three Important Arrests.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Texa:kana. Tex, Aug. 20 Three important arrests.were made to-day.
 Tom Jones was arrested on charge of killing Sam White at Hudson, few miles from here last month Willis Moore IS accused of cutting an old negro's wind-pipe at this place, about one year ago. William Logan is charg- ed with hog stealing. All of the pris- oners are negroes, and have long been held in dread by the colored popula- tion of this section.
 Jones was captured near Leesville. La, and Moore at Camden, Ark, Both men were put in irons and takan to the jail here, as it was feared that they would break jail, as they have done on previous occasion.
 William Logan has been wanted by the authorities for the last six years The stock men and planters along the Red River have suffered enormous losses, and a standing reward has been offered by them for the capture of Logan. Logan says that for six years he made his home ia cave in the recesses of the Red River swamps and seldom left his haunts except at night.
