 THE PHARMACISTS.
 About 100 representative pharna. cists attended the annual meeting f the state society. Within the pas few years, through the state associa= tion great advancement has been made in this part of the country in the correct and scientific manner of com pounding of medicines. Since the pas sage of a law by the legislature, re- stricting the sale of cocaine, the con sumption of this deadly poison has decreased at least three-fourths, and this law was obtained through the efforts of members of the State Phar- maceutieal Association, as we'll as the law creating a board of examiners, to examine and pass upon the eompe- teney of those who would follow the calling of the prescriptionist. All the old officers were reelected, as follows: President, W. R. Appleton, Fl Dorado; first vice president. Orlando Hallibur- ton. Little Rock; second vice presi dent. J. E.

Penitentiary ,oard Lost.

The supreme cout last week af- firmed the decree ofghancellor Mar. tin in the famous sui of the Arkan- sas Brick Manufacturing Company against the penitentiarS board hold ing that the contract foi the hire of conyicts with the brick ompany is valid. That such being th case the board had no power to ann, if. that it's order purporting to do so was void; that the proceeding wa moi in suit against the state; and tat the proper remedy was by injurtion. Battle and Wood, justices. diss9ted on the ground that the proceeing was in effect q suit against the ste. The opinion of the majority was Q. livered by Chief Justice Bum. Du. ing Gov Jones administration a con tract was entered into by the Arkan sas Chair Company for the hire ot not less than 100 nor more than BOG eonvicts, at 90 cents per day, to work in it's factory at Little Rock This  chair company sold out to the Arkan sas Brick Manufacturing Company who secured some changes in the contract shortly after Gov. Davis was inaugurated. The matter was brought up in the legislature, and it was con tended the contract was against the best interests of the state. Later the penitentia-y board passed a resolu tion annulling the contract To meet this state of facts suit was brought by the brick company seeking an in junction against the penitentiary board and authorities, to prevent the withdrawal of the convicts from the work in which it had placed them Chancellor Martin granted the prayer of the brick company, and his decis ion is upheld by a majority of the higher court.

It is said that the old superstition
about thirteen developed In the board
of mayor and alderman meeting Mon
day night. The committee having
the matter in charge recommended
that the city tax levy for the next
year be thirteen mills. At sonce two
OF the members raised objections, not
denying their fear OF bad results II
the rates hould be made thirteen: They
were able to carry their point and the
rate was made 123 mills instead. 1t
seems queer that superstition should
have Weight in a matter OF this kind,
but SO long as it resulted in the tax
rate being made lower the tax payers
will not be justified in raising objec-
tions. .... -f,,..

WORK TO BE DONE.

There should be substantialback
ing given to the efforts Of James V.
Howard to locate smelter in this
city. 1t is not very hard to remem-
Der a time, not many years ago,
when $4,000 was given promo
ter to locate smelter here. That
ten thousand expenditure did not
produce one>half the information
regarding ores and capacity to
smelt, as has been compiled by Mr..
Howard for nothing.
When ten thousand in stock subs
scriptions are asked, something is
given in return, that much stock of
the company back of which is
guarantee that it will be sold for
IS per cent. advance Immediately
upon the blowing in OF the furnace.
1t is reasonable to imagine that, if
an outside corporation, The Loder
Pyritic Smelter company will in>
vest the balance of the cost of a
plant, approximately $4,000, that
the $4,000 asked from the people
of Grand Junction, to be returned
in stock, is not asking great deal.
We have convassed the situation
thoroughly and believe that the
people back Of Mr.. Howard want
to build smelter in Grand Junc>
ton. if given half a chance.
The benefit of smelter has been
so often outlined that the public is
pretty thoroughly familiar with its
benefits. While the oil industry
doubtless made Florence what it is,
for it was but hamlet before
the oil discovery. its smelters have
sustained it and are today the larg>
est revenue producing industries in
that city.
Had the proposition which Mr..
Howard now offers to Grand Junc>
ton, been possible ten years ago
the requisite amount Of subscrip>
tions would have been secured and
all other grants provided instanter.
There are no less forceful reasons
why we should have a smelter
here now than there were then.
In our judgment Mr.. Howard's
proposal should be given the great
est and most intelligent considera-
ton.
