SUPPLY SUFFICIENT
 FOR THE WORLD.

Charles A. Pfeiffer, president of the Pfeiffer Stone Company, producers of the Batesville marble, which will be used for the superstructure of Ark ansas' new million-dolla capitol, was in Little Rock Friday, says the Ga zette, and states that the company will be able to supply promptly the marble needed for the new capitol. The company ownes TAO acres seven miles from BatesviIle, and it is from this tract the marble is taken. There is being put in at the quarries the largest plant west of Bedford, Ind. ! MT. Pfeiffer says that the best ma chinery will be used and that there will be no hitch in getting out and shipping the stone. The Iron Noun tain railroad has spur running out to the quarries and the shipments can be made with reasonable promptness. Otto Pfeiffer, superintendent of the company, resides at Batesville with his family and gives constant atten tion to the quarries.
 President Pfeiffer says there is enough of the Batesville marble to supply the world. For many years the stone has been in use in Batesville for trimmings and for cemetery mon uments, and one or two buildings in 1 Batesville have been constructed of the material. As an evidence of it's durability he says there is a Bates vile marble monument at Batesville over the grave of General Porter, who was killed in the Mexican war, which has been standing since 1S49, and which shows no signs of the ravages of time, fifty three years after it's erection.
 The stone has attracted attention all over the country, but it is only of late that facilities have been provided for bringing it into general use. Tech nically, it is gray oolitic limestone, and is said to be equal, if not superior, to the celebrated Vermont marble. It was given much prominence in the official reports of Dr. J. c. Branner, former state geologist of Arkansas, who is now member of the faculty of Leland Stanford university Pres- 1 ident Pfeiffer's attention was called to it by specimens exhibited in St. Louis several years ago. He made a per sonal investigation and the absorption of the quarriss by his company fol- lowed. Mir. Pfeiffer predicts that Ar kansas will have one of the handsom- est capitols in the Union by reason of using this marble in the superstructure and declares it will do more to adver- tise Arkansas than anything of recent occurrence. It is the purpose of the company to make display of the marble at the worlds fair.

NOTHING MORE
 THAN MERE TALK.

"We have it from reliable source that of Hon. T. c. McRae of Prescott is candidate for governor and that he will lay his claims before the peo- people in due time. Tom McRea is a clean man and withal power in state politics"
 But the Pine Bluff Graphic, which was supporter of James K. Jones in the recent senatorial fight, thinks diff ferently.
 VThe mention of Mir. McRae in con- nection with the gubernatorial race is matter of mere talk only" says the Graphic. ''Mr. McRae attached himself to the Davis band wagon two years ago and supported the Davis Clarke combination on promise from Davis that he (Davis) would not be a candidate for a third term for gov ernor, but would support McRae for that office. Some of Mir. McRae's friends stated that the only reason they had for supporting the Davis- Clarke combine was that McRae had been promised the governorship mex [ time.' The next time' is here, but Davis is candidate for third term, and Tom McRae is not candidate and will not be. He has been thrown down, and while the Graphic has al- ways had high regard for MT. Me- Rae, it has no sympathy for him in the political pulverizing he has been given by Davis. Mir. McRae should have formed combination with no such disgusting demagogue as Davis.' D

CAMPAIGN COMMENT.
ANENT DAVIS RREBE BANNER.

The campaign banner displayed at the Davis Vandeventer meeting last week must have been an atrocious thing One can imagine the standard of artistic excellence to which the perpetrator of such an ill-conceived piece of work would attain. Davis represented as being "Hell on Carpet Baggers'' is originality indeed. The F'carpet baggers' referred to is Mr. Vandeventer, whose Virginia parents moved to Illinois. Already in this campaign Governor Davis has referred to Vandeventer as carpet -bagger, which is about as near as Davis gets to the truth of anything. It is mar row, near sighted, picayunish policy that urges against candidate the fact that he was born in another state. The constitution defines the qualifi- cations of candidates, and does not bar them because they are natives of other states. Arkansas would be a bowling wilderness today if people had not immigrated here from other ates.--Jonesboro Sun.

MY LADY's SECRET SAFE.
TiaY Steel Vault Is Slowed Away
In Her Desk.

Secret drawers of Olden times
were made in a romantic age, pre-
sumably for the rOmancers to
hang their tales on. The woman
of today is nothing if not practi-
cal, and, while she may have,a Sc
cret drawer or two in her desk or
dressing table, she places her chief
dependence upon a safe, says the
New York Sun.
Try to open n side of milady's
dainty writing desk, and if it
opens at all it turns slowly and
heavily, for it is a safe door made
of layers of steel and iron welded
to resist the drill of the burglar.
These safes, which are built
into writing desks and closets or
set away in convenient places, are
baby affairs, and look as if they
might belong to a doll house, but
they will do good service. They
are only from 70 to IA inches high,
but they weigh from $50 to 200
pOunds-not a convenient weight
for a burglar to carry off unob,
served.
They have regular combination
locks, like the safes of larger size,
and are as carefully made. But
inside they present a different ap-
pearance. They are lined with vel
vet in rich colOrs, and some Of the
larger ones are made with shelves
and library racks. In them jewell
ry, as we'll as private correspond
ence, is as safe as anything may
be.
The very small safes appeal par.
ticularly to women, but there are
larger sizes which are equally use.
full, and these are more frequent
ly built into closets where a WON
an has a special amount of jewelry
that she keeps with her; or, fol-
silyerware, they are built into the
buffers pantry. The larger safes
will range from one and one-hal-
to two and one.half feet in height
