STATE STATISTICS FROM
 UNITED STATES CENSUS.

The United States census for Arkan- sas says:
 The value of animal products in 1899, was $20, ,377 ,279, or 30.S per cent of the gross farm income. Of the above amount 42.6 per cent represents the value of animals sold and slaughtered on farms; 33.9 per cent, that of dairy produce; 22.1 per cent, that of poultry and eggs; and IA per cent, that of wool, mohair, honey and wax.
 The production of milk in 1899 was 5,535, ,720 gallons greater than in 1889, an increase of over one hundred per cent. The quantity of butter made on farms, however, increased but 37 8 per cent, and that of cheese decreased 13.8 per cent, indicating that the mak ing of butter and cheese is being grad ually transferred from the farm to the creamery and cheese factory.
 Of the $6,912, ,459 given as the value of all daily products in 1899, $5, ,SS6, ,12S, or S4.9 per cent, represents the value of such products consumed on farms, and $1,046,331, or 15.1 per cent, the amount realized from sales. Of the latter sum, .$596,7S5 was derived from the sale of 3,797,646 pounds of butter; $443,756 from 4,23S, 1852 gallons of milk; $4,941, from COOS gallons of cream, and $S49, from S,O32 pounds of cheese.
 The total value of the poultry pro- ducts of 1899 was S4,50S, ,143, of which 51.7 per cent represents the value of eggs and 4S,3 per cent that of poultry raised. Of the farmers of the state 156, 1922, or SIS per cent, reported poul try in 1900. The average return per farm was $14.s4 for eggs and $13.S9 for poultry. The number of eggs pro- duced has practically doubled during each decade since 1879. In that year the production was 6,61O,O5O dozens; in 1889, 13,371 1909, and in 1899, 25, ,- ,S6O.
 Although 30.S per cent fewer sheep were reported in 1900 than in 1890, an increase of 24.2 per cent is shown in the quantity of wool produced. This is the result of a marked improvement in the grade of sheep kept, and con- sequent increase in the average weight of feeces. In 1880 the average weight was 2.3 pounds; in 1890, 2.4 pounds, and in 1900, 3.3 pounds.

SAFE BLOWERS
M LAKE BIG HAUL.

Clinton, April 22,-This morning about o'clock, the county safe at the court house was blown open by dyna- mite and about $6,OOO taken. Only one report was made and the safe was blown to atoms, both the outer and inner doors being blown entirely off the hinges. The sheriff had paid into the special school fund, but did not have the county funds in the safe. From the indications it was the work of expert cracksmen.
 No clue is known. The citizens heard the report, but no alarm was made, and only this morning was the robbery discovered. James Sanders had mule stolen and it is thought the robbers got it. Excitement runs high. The occurrence is a terrible thing to the county, as the school fund is lost

CHARGES OF THE CHURCH.
Specific Charges of Second Baptist Church Against Governor - He Promises to Return and
 Answer Same.

The largest crowd that has been present at prayer meeting was at the Second Baptist church Wednesday night, attracted by the announcement made last Sunday at the morning ser vice and printed in the daily papers that the question of granting to Gov. Jefferson Davis letter of withdrawal, as requested by him, or disciplining him and expelling him from the church would be taken up.
 The charges, as preferred by the discipline committee, were read last night, and on motion of MT. Chas. E. Taylor, committee of three will be appointed to furnish the governor with copy and request that he either deny or affirm them.
 Following are the charges: That Jeff Davis, a member of the Second Baptist church of the city of Little Rock, in good standing, did on October 30, 1901, while at Hot Springs, Ark, attending a meeting of the Wis consin Press Association, get drunk and act in a disgraceful manner. That on later date he did go to Hot Springs and gamble and lose money. That recently while he was on train passing through Benton county, he did furnish negroes with liquor. That on Monday, March 31, 1901, two days after the primary election, while on a hunting trip on the Choc- Jaw Railroad in Lonoke, he was guilty of drunkenness.
 That since he became governor he was on a drunken spree at Texarkana.
 These are the specific charges and are followed by general charge that he has been guilty of violation of the principles of the church.
 It was learned Wednesday night from a reliable source that an officer of the church yesterday received a telegram from Governor Davis, dated at Washington, stating that he had read in the press dispatches that there had been charges preferred against him and that the matter of granting him letter of withdrawal had been deferred pending an investigation. He concluded by stating that should this be true he would return at once to Little Rock and reply to the charges. Little Rock Gazette.
