Once Upon A Time.

Probably few people know that the original name of the State of Tennesse was Franklin, or that in 1788 the salaries of officers of the commonwealth were paid in pelts, but the following IS d cor rect copy of the law:
 Be il enacted by the general as sembly of the State of Franklin, and 1t is hereby enacted, by au- thority of the sane, tn tt from and after the lst day oee January, 1l8S, the salaries of this common wealth be as follows, to-wit:
 His excelIency the governor, Der annum, 100 deer skins.
 His honor the chief justice, 500 deer skins.
 The secretary to his excellency the governor, 300 raccoon skins.
 Cpuaty elerx. 80 he lvor skins.
 Clerk of the house of com mons, 200 raccoon skins.
 Members of the assembly, per diem. } raccoon skins.
 Justices fee for serving war rant, 1 raccoon skin.
 At that time the State of Franklin extended to east bank of the Mississippi 1ver and on the west bank was that great un- known forest region of Lomsi- ana, It was then a "terra incog- nita," save few canoe landings and Indian trading posts on the river benks, It was known as the district of Louisiana, and in 1895 was made the territory of Louisiana.
 The State of Franklin which became Tennessee m 1796, was almost as little kDown. The now great city of Memphis was d mere trading post and was not laid out as q village until 1920.
 Pelts were plentiful in those days as pennies, and much better distributed for purposes of cur rency and barter. The pioneers were perhaps as happy and as well contented as is the average cltizen now.--Arkansa, Gazette.

The Choctaw Sold.

The vague rumOrS that have foated ln from somewhere for the last year or more that the Ch0c- Jaw Railway had been sold to an other system, have at last merged into fact and that popular route is no longer m the hands of the original promoters.
 President Francis 1 G0wan has officially announced that the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf rail- road has been bought by Speyer & Co.,, of New York, and that q price amouting to about twenty one million dollars was paid for the road, which is nearly seven hundred miles long, being almost an air line from Memphis west to Armarilla, Texas, and prospecti- vely to Albuquerque, N. NJ.
 It will in the future form a part of the far reaching system of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, known everywhere as the Rock Island Route" whose lines beginning at Chicago, run through the north west as far as Pol tland, !, Oregon, and the southwest to Fort Worth, with numerous branches throughout the central west, reaching many important trade centers.
 The Choctaw will give thls system a new territory long de- sired, and will no doubt end in q development that will give it a large part of the trade of the Golden State.

AN ANTI-TED TRUST
Reported to Have Been Formed
 by Leading Republican q Senators.

Washington, April 14.-It is now being asserted more or less openly by republicans that a con- pine has been formed by republi- Gan senators fer the purpose of preventing the nomination of MT. Roosevelt by his party in 1904, and that the small antagonisms shown toward Mr. Roosevelt that have been cropping out in the sen ate for some time past, are results of that combine. Although this antagonism has not been confined to the committee on military af- fairs, 1t has been especially notic- able in that committee. It's ad- verse report on the nomination of Capt. Vim. Crozier to be chef of ordinance, with the rank of briga- dier genenal, was about the most direct slap in the face yet admins tered to Mir. Roosevelt and the ac- tion of the senate upon that re- port, if 1t is acted upon, will show to what extent the senate sympa- thizes with the slap.

TOUCHING INCIDENT
Governor Davis Endears Himself to the Little
 Deaf Flutes.
visits the School For the Deaf and Takes the Evening Heal at Same Table With the
 Children.

There has never been, perhaps, In the history of the Arkansas School for the Deaf more touch Ing incident or one the present date will find more interesting than the following:
 Governor Davis and the entire board of state charities were the invited guests at a dinner party given by Superintendent Yates one evening last week.
 AS $ o'clock drew near, a look of quiet festiyity lowered over the whole institute, and suggestion ot pleasant revelry filled the air. The teachers dining room had been beautifully decorated with ferns and violets, and many good things were in waiting to please the inner man, not to mention the hungry woman.
 Before going in to dinner the guests stopped to see the children gather for their evening meal Suddenly and inyoluntarily Gov ernor Davis walked over and seat ed himself with the children; nor could any one induce him to the dinner prepared for him and he took dinner with the children. There was not q child in that large dining room whose face did not instantly become radiant with unexpected happiness; not q small heart that did not quicken with joyful excitement at the thought of entertaining, as their own guest, the governor of Arkan- SIS.
 This act of Governor Davis was simple thing, quietly and unos- tentatiously done the prompting of great and generous heart, the desire to make himself one with the least of these;" but such deeds, far removed from the smoke and din of politics, prompt ed by no party reasons, go to prove the real character of the man recently elected by a wise people to be governor of Arkan- SIS. To be the first man in the state is a great thing, but to reign in the hearts of children is far greater kingdom; and though enc mics may revile and opposing ele- ments misrepsent Jeff Davis, of one thing he may be sure-in the hearts of the little deaf children of Arkansas he stands a monument of unqualified excellence.

In the county judges race tue official count gave the office to Mobley over Phillips by only two votes. If Judge Phillips had known before the primary that he was couple shy of the nomination he w0 uld no doubt done some real rustling to make up the number c, D. Ritchie defeated Artbur Sullivan for clerk by only 16 votes. This was Sullivan's first appearance before the people, and the result showed that the peoble look upon him with favor.
