RIGHT UP TO DATE. (nanson's Platter ls Pains MastHl

These are days of records and of the beat ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for quickness of action and thoroughness of cure, has no records to beat except it's own
 Benson's Plaster, always the best, always the leader, is to-day better than sger. It sticks to the skin but never sticks in its tracks. It marches on.
 The people not only want to be cured but cured quiekly-and Benson's Plaster does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma, bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints, and other ills approachable by an external remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
 Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or Capsicum plasters are to be compared with Benson's People who have once tested the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use for any other external remedy.
 More than 5000 physicians and drug gists (and a thousand times as many non- professional persons) have called Benson's Plasters one of the few CD home remedies that can be trusted.
 Fifty-fve highest awards have been made to it in competition with the best known plasters of Europe and America. Better proof of it's merits is inconceivabls. Be sure to get the genuine.
 For sale by all druggists, or we will pre- pay postage on any number ordered m the United States, on receipt of 25c. each.

Ouachita- Central System.

The committee, appointed by the S@ate Baptist Convention at Hope last November to consider the matter of consolidating under the management of one board all the Baptist schools of the state, had meeting at Little Rock on Thurs day of last week.
 We havexbeen informed by a prominent member of that commit tee that it was practically agreed by this committee to recommend u at Ouachita and~C Central colleges be equal in rank and requirements fer graduation. These sto be the only degree conferring schools in tie denomination in the state. All the other Baptist schools of the state are to be articulated with the colleges and secondary to them. There will be one superintendent over all the schools. Each college will have a president and faculty.
 This entire system would be one business enterprise and all expenses for each college would be paid out of one general fund, thus eliminat- ing all competition and friction be- tween the schools.
 The committee which met at Little Rock can do nothing but recommend plans. A plan similar to this was discussed before the board of Central College last June and voted down. President Lille says he favors the plan, but is not enthusiastic for it.

 SENATE.-S.- B. No. 61, providing for levy of one-half of one mill for ex- Confederate pensions was the first or der of business. Senator Short offer ed an amendment making the levy three-fourths of one mill. Senators Kirby, Carlock and Clark opposed the amendment. Senator Wood spoke in favor of the amendment, his speech being one of the best delivered dur ing the session. Among other things he said:
 q never thought, sir, when l left the Confederate army, private, tnlr- ty-five years ago. that 1 would ever have to beg on the floor of southern assembly for the levying of mere pittance for the indigent Confederate soldier. We have it demonstrated here frequently that, whenever a measure looking to the relief or aid of an in, digent Confederate soldier IS lntfo- duced the chief opposition comes rom senators claiming to be the descend- ants of the Confederate soldier. An, methinks if these old boys i'll gray could Lazarus-like step forth from their graves they would say to these unworthy sons of more worthy Ssres, in the language of the Great Judge at the last day: Depart from me, ye cursed. know ye not The bill was made special order for Thursday A bill defining nayigable stream a lawful fence, was read third time and passed

MT. Toney moved to postpone further considera- tion of the bill till the 50th day of the session. MT. Ponder declared some members" were trying to rush this bill through, and that if they really thought the house would adjourn after sixty days they would fall off their chairs" At this point Mir lobe arose and exclaimed: The gentleman has made a damnable statement which he can't prove; it's a lie.' There was some confusion in the house, and the speaker pounded for order MT.
