 BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Citizen of Baxter County Tells of Wonderful Development Awaiting
 That Rich Mineral Section.

R. E. Waldron of Mountain Home, Baxter county, was in Little Rock Monday says the Gazette. MT. Wal dron is enthusiastic over the present and prospective development of his section of the country.
 "The White River Railroad has just reached point opposite Buffalo, :" he said. "Ore from the rich zinc mines of several counties is being hauled to this point for shipment. Great quantities of ore are being mined, and the results from the re- duction are in every way satisfactory, according to the miners.
 'Baxter county is soon to see an- other sort of development. We have one of the best lithia water springs in the United States. It is near Glass; vile, and will be on the line of the new proposed electric railway y between Mountain Home and Cotter, which will be station on the new White River Railroad extension. An analysis of the lithia water has shown it to be heavily charged with medicinal properties. The springs are under option, which expires June 1. I un- derstand that the property will be sold. The water is said to be better than that of Buffalo Springs, Va.
 "The electric line connecting Noun tain Home with the outside world is to be built, in the course of year or two, believe. The right of way is already being secured by the com pany. The line proposes to carry both freight and passeI gers, which, with us, will be equal to railroad. The distance to what will be the route of the White River Railroad is about ten miles.
 "It will be year and half before the railroad reaches a point beyond Cotter, but that will make no differ ence to us, because Cotter will be our station. The delay will be caused by the construction of long tunnel through the mountains across the White river from Cotter. Work has been done on it already for nearly a year"

THIS MAN WANTS BONUS
FOND FATHER or TWINS AND
 TRIPLETs.
Lives in Texas But Children Were Born in Alabama-He Writes For State Laws on Sub
 Jact.

Chief Clerk A. O. Sexton of the Secretary of States office has an odd correspondent in Dallas Tex, who is c former Alahamian. Ha Is trying to recover from the State q bounty or premium because he Is the happy father of pair of twins and a set of triplets. The Texas correspondent has been informed that the State of Alabama gives premium to the father and mother who boosts the cen sus records with twins and triplets. He seems to be convinced that the State owes him and the mother of the five children 2 debt.
 The Texas correspondent shows himself mod- estly proud of his offspring. Entertaining this pride he feels that he should have all the hon. ors and emoluments that he believes the State has provided for those who see to it that Ala bamians should not perish from the face Of tho earth.
 The Texas writer states his case briefly, but explicitly;
 "on Feb. 9th, 1890. he says. ''my wife gave birth to twin boys. On June 2sth. 1898, she gave birth to tripists. We were then liv- ing at Huntsville, Ala. Both of us are na- tives of Alabama. understand that the state of Alabama allows a premium on such births and if such is the case would be glad if you would furnish me with information thar would lead to our receiving the premium"
 Tn writing his letter, the father rofrainsd from telling of his exuitatioa on Feb. oth, IaQO when he was informed that two sons and heirs had been born into tho family. At one and the same time. Nor did he describe hix feelings when hs was called aside on June 2ath, 1898. and informed that the family had been increasd by three. An accurate and vivid description of those emotions would have been a valuable contribution to the xseords'etp the office of the Secretary of State.
 The Texas correspondent has been misin- formed The State of Alabama offers no pre- rniuun for twins and none for triplets.
 Chief Clerk Sexton Is q married man and naturally feels sympathsticaily towards the former Alabaman who has the large family. He will gently inform the Texas correspond ent that he has been misinformed and that Alabama makes no paternal provisions for twins and triplets
 Several of the State officials have taken a sympathetic interest sn the Texas gentleman. They, too. are the proud possessors of large families. From experience they know what 1t is to grapple with the problem of -contini- ally supplying shoes and school books to nI- merous members of the younger generations. If Alabama paid bounties on large families. some of the money would not leave the Capitol.
 It has been suggested that the former Ala bamian should get into communication with President Roosevelt. The President has gone on record as endorsing large families. He has. moreover, shown that his belief in large families is more than theoretical He has denounced trace suicide'' and commended the parents of numerous children.
 Certainly the ex-Alabamian is due commen- dation from the nations chief executive who entertains those views
