Proceedings of County Judges Convention

Hi0escui"Ss oi Nvuhty JuugeS' OOlVentioi
 The convention of judges. held at Little Rock, recommended to the legislature the repeal of section 100. Sandals X Hills Digest. Another oill was recommended to the legis- laturc for law requiring the state to pay all costs in felony cases when convictions were sustained The judges appear to be willing to pay the costs when no conviction follows, but when the trial results in con- viction they think the state should bear the burden of the cost of the suit. inasmuch as the state reaps the benefit of the services of the onyict. It was argued by gentlemen that the state penitentiary was not only a self-sustaining institution, but it is making institution, and they could not see it other than that it would be fair that the state bear the expenses of the trial court in such cases.
 The following was adopted {: "Whereas, It is evident from state- ments made from various counties that the real and personal property of the state is not assessed as the law directs at its true value, but is listed and taken at from 20 to 60 per cent of the true value; and
 sWhercas, Such assessment is in equitable and unjust as to the indi- vidual and as between the counties and unjust to the state in that the true wealth and worth of the state is not shown to the outside world and
 "Whcrcas, The present method ne cessitatcs making of the maximum levy cacl, year, aml thereby prejudice ing ns in the minds of the investor and homcseeker: therefore, be it
 "Resolycd, That it is the sense of this convention that every county ind.c in the state should use his in tlucncc to secure in each and ever, county of the state any assessment strictly under the law

Ply
 and Beauty

The most beautiful thing in the world is the baby, all dimples and joy. The most pitiful thing is that same baby, thin and in pain. And the mother does not know that a little fat makes all the differ. ence.
 Dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear; the fat, that was comfort and color and curve--all but pity and love--is gone.
 The little one gets no fat from her food. There is some thing wrong;itis either her food or food-mill. She has had no fat for weeks; is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers; and that is gone. She is starving for fat; it is death, be quick! Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the fat she can take; it will save her. The genuine has this picture on 1t, take no other.

We have not. perhaps, followed out in all its details the effect of the franchise bill passed by the Arkansas senate, but we believe it will be detrimental to the state. Of course we need money and would like to get it from the wealth, but you must catch the rabbit before you can skin it.'' Inducements should be offered manufacturing concerns by relieving them of taxes for a few years instead of placing more taxes upon them. This is the way to catch the rabbit, then after a few years the state may be- gin to get revenue that she never would have gotten.

wreck at walnut Ridge.

The early morning passenger rain on the Iron Mountain, south bound, was wrecked near Walnut Ridge on the 23d. An open switch caused the wreck. The train was running about thirty-five miles an hour when the accident occurred The engine crossed the switch right side up, and, breaking loose from the coaches, plowed alongside the track awhile, then jumped com pletely from the track and ran about 400 feet, when it came to a stop, right side up, the fireman and engineer not being injured. The train was composed of five cars, the first one being baggage car, the second the dining car and the other three Pullman tourist sleepers. The baggage coach was not so lucky as the engine, and, running down the embankment, turned completely
 
 over, the trucks being on top. The baggageman in this car was the only person reported to be injured. The dining car followed the exam pie of the baggage car and turned bottom up. The first sleeper, in which were thirty sleeping passen- gers, ran off the track, but only turned half over, as did the next sleeper. The rear, or observation ear, ran off the track, but did not turn over. The baggage and dining cars were almost totally demolished. The other cars were not damaged to any great extent.

TEA IN THE SOUTH.
cketary of Agriculture Wilson
Thinks 1T Can Be Grown Profit
ably Everywhere.

With regard to the future of this
promising industry, the secretary OF
agriculture is quoted as saying that
we will soon raise all that is eeded
for home use. We are now succeeding
admirably in the production of tea in
the United States. 1t is only ques-
ton of a short time when we will be
able to raise all the tea demanded for
use in this country. The two tons of
tea grown at Summerville, S. c., last
year so well satisfied the New York
investors interested in the industry
that they Immediately formed a syndi.
cate and bought 5000 acres of land in
the state upon which tea will be
grown.
This department last year sent tea
plants to every gulf state in the
union from the Carolinas to California
for experimental raising. We have
just heard from South Carolina that
imported machinery in use there is
able to make green tea from the black
product in one hour. We do not yet
manufacture such machinery in this
country, but we will get to that later.
Then there is no question concern
ing the availability of labor when we
get to growing our tea on a large scale.
There is any number of young people
who will seek employment as pickers
of the tea leaves, as wages will be
good. We are now importing plants
from China, Ceylon and Japan, ard
we purpose raising the highest grade
of the product in this country.-Amer

IMPROVISED APPLE DRIER.

ing them on three arrangements like
A, made of heavy pieces of tin about
two inches broad, bent in the form IL
Illustrated, and riveted in box inside,
one at each end and one in middle.
The end supporters of sleeves are bent
S in the cut, to extend down and serve
as feet for the drier. The middle
supporter need not reach below box.
If desired, the supporting devices
may be made like B, using three on
each side. The sleeves Co, are easily
made by lacking wire netting, of not
too close mesh, on tin frame, or
tapping it over a frame of heavy wire.
They slide in and out on the supports
just described, and may change places
as the drying progresses. When drier
is made in the way described, without
bottom, the sleeves receive the direct
heat which rises from the stove. If
thought best, the drier may have bot
tom, and the drying be carried on by
means of the hot air inside of box.
1t will be best to have a removabl tin
bottom, which slides in on the holders
the same as the sleeves, and fits closely
to sides of box. Then the drier may be
used with or without bottom, a seems
best to suit the particular purpose

Oil for Dusty Highways.

DIR. H. j. Waters, dean of the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college, is con-
Quoting experiments in Columbia
with street oil, which have attract
ed considerable attention. Two
things arc claimed for the discovery
First, it will keep the dust laid, and,
second, it will make the roads dry
even in wet weather, by causing the
rain to slide into the gutter. AS a
result of the oiling of several roads
in Columbia and Boone county it has
been demonstrated that no dust
arises, no matter how dry the road.
In fact. the dust has been laid per-
fectly by the new method, the only
disagreeable feature being the odor,
which, it is claimed, will disappear
when rain comes. The oil is injected
to the depth of two inches and the
ground is then rolled thoroughly,

A fine illus tration of successive DO
1ygamy as practiced under the forms
of law in this country was given in a
Chicago court. A man who had con-
tracted a bigameus marriage was d.
vorced from his first wife and the in
dictment against him was quashed on
condition that he would pay No. GER
tain alimony and remarry No. with
out delay. Perhaps as settlement of
what appeared to be bad job for all
concerned this arrangement was the
best that could have been made, but if
bigamy is a crime can it be condoned
by process of law?
