SURPRISING RESULTS.
Only S11,194 Duties on Goods From
Philippines in Five Months.

Washington. Sept. 3.-Surprising re
suits have followed the compilation of
tariff returns on goods imported from
the Philippines during the first months
OF the operation of the Philippine tariff
act, approved March last. Under that
act IS per cent of the Dingley rates
were to be collected on Philippine i'm
ports into the United States. and this
was to be held as a trust fund in the
United States treasury Although
Whes the act was passed it was re-
allied that the imposition of any du-
ties of this kind would be restrictive
of trade, it was argued that as the re-
turns would be somewhere in the
neighborhood of 100000 per annum
that consideration would outweigh the
drawbacks Of maintaining a tariff sys-
tenn against the Philippines.
The returns just published by the
lrc;isnl% show that the total receipts
for !he five months of March, April,
Nav, Juno and July were but S11,194,
sum 50 small, in the opinion of the
Ctlic'a'&."s TO scarcely meet the cost Of
colleacting. Moreover the returns by
months do not show any increase, but
rather decrease. in the collections.
These facts will be brought to the at
tention of congress at its next session.

Ori1ii1 Of little Rock"

every few know the origin of the
name Of title Rock" remarked Judge
Peter Schmuck to a Commercial APP
peal reporter "SOme get the idea
from the name that it is only small
village The explanation of the name
is that the French explorers who
came up the river over q hundred
years ago, found at the point which
is now the foot of Rock street a ledge
CT rock which was the first they had
seen along either the Mississippi or
the Arkansas between this place and
New Orleans. a short distance above
they came to larger bluff, or noun
famous ledge of rock. and the con-
trast between the two suggested the
name of Big Rock for the last one
and Little Rock for the first they saw
and those are the names that have
chung to the localities ever since, one
becoming the name of the capital of
the state and the other of the present
site of one of the great government
army posts.

CHINESE ADMISSION.
Forehsadowed by Gov. Taft's Manila
Speech

Washington. Sept. Sit is the opin-
ion at the war department that Gov.
TafLs remarks at the board of trade
banquet in Manila respecting the en-
ployment OF labor on plantations will
form the basis Of a suggestion to con
gress at the next session, that the act
extending the Chinese exclusion laws
to the Philippines be modified 1t is
contemplated to remove the ironclad
reslr lctios which now exists and clothe
the Philippine commission with power
to regulate the entrance of Chinese
labor. The commission itself already
has given some attention to this sub
ject. and it is believed that Prof
jerks Investigations into the labor
problem in the Straits settlements and
elsewhere in the Orient met approval
al. The proposed regulations, it is
said. will look to wisely regulated
system Of admission of Chinese as
plantation laborers under sufficient
bonds in each case. under proper sys-
TENS of identifications and a condition
that they shall leave the Philippines
after certain specified period of time
Such regulations as exist in Hawaii for
the proper care of the coolies would
be incorporated.
Gov. Taft's representations on this
subject were in answer to pressing de-
mands from the American chamber of
commerce, and employers of labor in
the Philippines for relief from the
present conditions. which. it is alleged

Daring Deed of Dick Bullock and

At the place of the notorious Dora

Cured at 1:30 Tuesday night Two
queer looking fellows knocked at her
door and demanded Tom Mccormack
who was in the house. Upon inquiries
as to what their business was they
said that they were officers from Col
umbia county and that they possessed
warrants for the arrest of Mccormack
Mccormack went out, however, and
and why the so called officers did not
have uniforms or badges designating
their authority. One word brought on
another until finally the two fellows
impersonating officers searched Nc
Cormack. claiming to be looking for
his gun, but there was more attractive
metal than the gun. for they found
about S65 on him. Mccormack be-
coming desperate by this time began
to defend himself. He fairly whipped
both fellows, but attempted to follow
and capture them in which he was de-
feated. They inflicted very painful
wounds upon him with their knives.
Both were arrested by the police this
morning.
The two robbers gave their names
as Dick Bullock and Rim Walt and
were sent to jail in default of bale.
They will be tried in Esq. A. J. Stew
arts court. Mccormack is an employee
of the Cotton Belt at Mcneil, Ark.
The Sims woman is also held on
the robbery charge.

haps the only one in which the loss
is noticeable. In Pulaski county he
ran 300 votes ahead of two years ago
and the Republican split ticket suffer
ed loss of the same vote.
Figuring from the meager returns at
hand it would seem as if the total vote
of Monday will be decreased about 10
per cent from 132o79 to between 115-
600 and 100000, OF this number it is
estimated from returns received yes
terday and the manner in which the
vote seems to have gone, that Davis
will receive little less than his vote
two years ago, or about 10000 votes,
while the Republicans combined will
receive about 10000 and Kimball TO-
600 OF the Republican vote Myers
will get about 20 per cent.
The vote of Kimball. the Prohibition
candidate is a great surprise. and if
he runs as we'll in the other counties
as he has in the few that have re-
ported he will get nearly as many
votes as Greaves.

the bones of large animals, but these
were soon followed by more satisfacto-
ry implements Of wood. This form of
skating is to be seen chiefly on the fens
of Lincolnshire, England, in Denmark.
In Holland where everybody skates as
natura''y as we walk, since in most of
the city streets are large canals, and all
the canals freeze hard--and on the
lakes and rivers of our own country.

How About One Dollar Corn.

Will corn bring 81 bushel by the
Fourth of July, as predicted by many?
/ think not, from the fact that many
will not fatten hogs to sell at the pres
ent price of corn. Corn is worth 70
cents per bushel. but few farmers will
sell at that price. They would rather
hoard their corn and sell their hogs az
soon us marketable, for no farmer will
pay ~ cents a bushel and feed it to his
hogs. and what he does buy will be fed
to cattle. and the hogs will follow
them. We all know that dollar corn
cannot be fed to cattle. Many are feed
ing cottonseed and oil meal to their
cattle, which they claim is cheaper
than corn at its present price. Others

High Priced Grain.

! A serious question confronting farm
ers who have to buy grain this winter
Is how to make it pay. On many farms
it will undoubtedly result in the adop-
ton of more profitable system than
the one now in use. 1t would seem
that the only thing to do is to keep the
hay at home, raise more stock, use the
manure on the farm and grow more
corn and grass. Too much fertility
has been taken from the farms with lit
tie return.-F. II. Dow in Homestead.
