Meeting of State Horticultural Society

Meeting or State Horticultural Society.
 The annual meeting of the State Horticultural Society, held at Lit tie Rock last week, was well at- tended. Some interesting papers were read, and the members ex- pressed much qualification at the progress being made by the horticul- turists of this state in demonstrat- ing to the world the many advant- ages of our soil for those engaged in fruit growing of almost every known variety. The following leg islation was recommended to the general assembly,: That the sum of $2,Oo0 be appropriated for the pur- pose of having the proceedings of the State Horticultural Society printed and distributed throughout the state; that some provisions be made to prevent the introduction and spread ofthe San Jose scale, peach yellow and other contagious fruit disease. As to- the proposi- tion to abolish the office of commis- sioner of agriculture, the follow ing was adopted as the sentiment of the association: "That the State Horticultural Society deplores the proposed abolishment of the bureau of mines, manufactures and agri- culture and deprecates that any condition of past or present con- duct of that institution should in- duce such vigorous treatment of the only department instituted for the benefit of the tillers of the soil. We indulge the hope that if the present methods of its conduct are unsatis- factory that some other system of administration may be adopted to perpetuate the department, as is now being done in numerous other states. After the election of the following officers, the society ad journed. sine die: President. J. P. Logan, of siloam Springs; record ing and corresponding secretary, ". K. Tipton. Little Rock; treasurer, Job ycstal, Little Rock; first vice president, s. II. Nowlin: chairman of executive committee, Geo. P Murrill, Austin.

Women Ineligible.

Attorney General Murphy has
 rendered an opinion to the effect that women are ineligible to ap- pointment as notaries public. There are many women acting as notaries public in Arkansas under appoint ment of Gov. Jones, but the opin- ion of Attorney General Murphy is that their acts are not invalid Sev- eral court decisions can be cited wherein the ineligibility of women in the premises is asserted, but in which 1t is held their acts are not void. Their commissions may be attacked direct and vacated, but their past acts cannot be invalidated

It will doubt less cause factories to spring up ill many parts of the State, while un- der the present law very few will be established. After the period of seven years we will begin to draw a revenue from them. Only short-sightedness can prevent this measure from being adopted. As the people have vote on this measure before it can become law give them chance to say what they think about it. No man can reasonably oppose this resolution. lift would have the effect of build ing factories all over the state he would certainly favor it. If 1t does not cause them to be built we will not be damaged.
 An amendment to this resolution was adopted to exempt all taxpay- CTS in the sum of $Ioo. This would exempt almost every negro from any taxation whatever and would probably have the effect of filling the state with negroes from Mississippi and other states.

BRITAIN STILL DETERMINED
NO H1LF MEASURES IN SECURING
 SETTLEMENT OF WAR.
Government Nill Not Take the Initin- tive in Any Fresh Negotiations-They Must Now Emanate from the Boors- British War Secretary Accuses Burgh-
CTS of foutrages--WiII Not Much Longer
'rcat Them as Beliigerents.

London, Dec. 11.-Speaking at Glas- gow tonight MT. Brodrick, the secre- tary of state for war, referred to Lord Kitchener's report on the shooting of blacks by the Boers. MT. Brodrisl1 said this report made it perfectly clear that these murders were not committed in moments of passion but were part of an organized system to cover the tracks of the enemy and to present pos sibe informatio of their whereabouts.
 Dealing with the present aspect of the war MT. ,Brodrick said that the Beers had accepted parole and broken it and that there would be no repetition of such actions.
 Within recent weeks Boer command CTS had shown less regard for the laws of war and that these bandits would before long reach a crisis wren they could no longer be treated as belliger- ents.
 The speaker said the government was for no half measures in securing set clement and that any fresh negotiations must emanate from the Boers.
 MT. Brodrick confirmed the govern ment's decision, already announced, to break up the unhealthy concentration camps and remove the overflow of con- centrados to the coasts, where attempts would be made to provide them with more permanent shelters
 Referring critically to the dissensions in the liberal party MT. Broderick creat- ed amusement by declaring that had Lord Rosebery been premier the liber- als would have a right to his counsel as the captain could not withdraw and sulk in his cabin during rough weather, especially if the first mate had turned pirate and was engaged in footing the cargo.
