LITTLE ROCK. ARK Feb. {. 1899.
 To ,he Editors of the Forrest City Times:
 GESTLEMEx-As your representative would ask space in your valuable paper to
 xpIain my position on senate bill No l4. snown as the Collins bill. Although l have been remonstrated with by petition ,,f thirty-two citizens of your town. yet relieving. as 1 do. that its provisions are just. when The roll is called l am bound % auswvr .syen To begin with, it does not assess policies at their face value 1; ,nIy at their cash surrender value at the date of assessment. Secondly. it does not tax the assessment companies on poi cies purely for insurance and not for in. sestnlent does not touch endowment as- sociations, such as the Knights of Pythias, Knights and Ladies of Honor. Catholic Knights and such other institutions. The fact of the matter is. it touches only pol cies having cash surrender value. It Is ;rue. as insurance companies argue. it taxes what a man has earned and laid up. nut the same can he said of anything else taxed. When we tax the farmers mule. wagon, tools and every thing he has in the way of feed. provisions. moneys and every thing else Of vsine. we simply tax his hard earnings. Which should we exempt. the man who has just enough to keep the wolf from the door. or the man who is able to .ay up little for rainy day.?
 Of course these insurance companies consider thls a very sacred fund. l really belieye that this .' sacred fund has crea ted more paupers than 1t ever fed. By examining the biennial report of the state auditor find that in 1896 the people of Arkansns paid in premiums to life insur- ance companies S726 .396 and received in losses incurred S2S6.090, or. in other words. paid out $40. BOG more than they eereived in return. In 1897 these same people paid these same companies SEA- 073 and received in return the sum Of s23O .s67. making $593,206 more paid to these companies than received in return. summing up for the years 1s96-97:
 We paid premiums amounting to-. .ei $50 .46Q Receiyed In losses. es........'. ........... oioHo'
 We paid in excess of returns. .el. .0esI. .5i?
 Shall we continue to license this kind of investment by pxempting such policies froM taxation? If investing two for one feeds orphans. l can't see it. lf l hold s policy the surrender value of which Is $500. think it just as fair to tax me on that as to tax the farmer for his $500 worth of wagon teams, blow tools and provisions.
 Believing, as I do, that the principle is just, l shall vote that way unless l can see tt in different light. and this l say if deference to the petitioners asking my vote against the measure.
 Respectfully, $. NJ. BLALOCK.

 The mills have all shut down till the weather breaks. When tliat will be no one can tell, for it seems that Uncle Sam has concentrated all the warmth about Manila. hence the hot time there while we are left in the cool.
 There has been general scarcity of wood this spell, and to snpp.y the de- mand has been very unpleasant for man and beast, to say nothing of the danger that 1t is attended with in the failing of trees and hauling on the ice.

comes so soon to this tragic end.
 If men would only take the most com- mon sense precautions against the en- croacfnicnts of ill-hcalth there would be fewer houses of mourning, and fewer women left alone almost helpless before the battle of life is half over. mans liver and stomach are twin machines that work together. either to make or unmake If they work wrong. they dcplcte and poison his blood. Impure and impovcr- ishcd blood mean sickness and death. If they work right, they purify and enrich the blood. A man whose blood is rich and pure, and whose liver is active cannot well De unhealthy. Headaches, biliousness, in- digestion and costiveness, which men gen. orally disregard, are Natures warnings that the twin mechanism. stomach and liver, IS working against, instead of for him. Dr. Picrcc's Golden Medical Discov- cry is the best medicine to use under these circumstances. It creates appetite, cor rccts all disorders of the digestion, invigor- ates the liver and fills the arteries with rich, rcd, healthy blood. As an invigorat- ing, restorative tonic, it is far superior to all the malt extracts. It is the great blood maker and flesh builder It does not build sickly, labby fat as cod liver oil does, but the firm. muscular tissues of health.
 For the last nine years" writes William Miller. Esq. of 6sI Mulberry Street Reading, Pa. "I have been very poor in health. suf- tered with running sore leg. l tried many kinds of different medicines and doctors with out relief. Then used three bottles of Golden Medical Discovery and can say that am en- tircly cured. csn now do as good days work as the next man."
