A USELESS EXPENSE.

We have had good circuit judges,
but they have not had sufficient time to
give t. chancery business and there.
fore the practice before the chancel-
lor has suffered. We now acknowl.
edge the wisdom of the legislature in
placing the whole state into chancery
districts Wasp.
Fudge, There is not circuit judge
in the state who has not ample time to
dispose of all the chancery business of
his district. and there is not a chancei-
lcr in the state that earns half of his
salary. The creation of the new dis
tricts entailed an expense for which
there was not the least necessity

DEBT sAlRkING RoGUEs.

There has been considerable discus
sion of the bankruptcy law, but one
OF the most sensible things we have
read on the subject is the following
terse editorial from the Northampton
Gazette:
I'VE notice every few days reports
of bankrupts who have applied to the
court of insolvency for relief fror1
their indebtedness. where it is said
there are no assets Plenty of debts
but nothing to pay them with, hence
the application to unload. The debts
are supposed TO represent value re-
ceived-still no assets not a dollar
in sight. How is it that man can
go on piling up debts until his as
sets all disappear? 1t is not so with
the man who promptly pays his debts.
Such man cannot long owe for any
thing: the creditor calls for his pay
with great punctuality and takes Of
fense if he does not receive the cash
at once. Yet the same creditor Will
trust worthless hummer and wait
for his pay month after month finally
to discover that there are no assets.
The bankruptcy court doubtless is a
good institution, as it affords the hon
est debtor the opportunity t. divide
what he has with his creditors before
it is all gone, but it also affords many
a rascal and spendthrift the opporuni-
ty to plunder the public

MATTER FOR REGRET.

It is matter for serious regret that
the local Young Mems Christian as
sociatiGn must close its doors January
| and cease to exist as an active or
ganizatisn.
The association is far reaching in
its Influence for good, 1t is place OF
recreation and amusement for the
man outside the church as we'll as the
man within the church. 1t appeals to
the man outside the church in a man
ner which the church does not, and
many hear it that do not hear the ap-
peal Of the church.
Men are invited t. visit the assoeia-
in the games. They become interested
to the extent that they become men,
bers of the association. When they
become members. they become inter
ested IN the more serious part of the
association work and by that means
are led into the church. The assc'cia'
tlOn is a doorway TO the cnurcl
through which many pass to the
church who would probably never find
the way into the church but for the
association.
When a young man, or an old one
either. is at the rocms of the Young
Mems Christian association he is sur
rounded by good influences, and when
a man is surrounded by good influ-
ences he is not going to do anything
bad.
The good people Of Pine Bluff can
not afford t. let the association close
it's doors, and the Graphic believes
they will contribute the sum neces-
sary to keep the doors open and the
association actively at work.

Move to Reinstate Culperper.

Alderman Nichol moved that Mr.. j..
F. Culpepper be reinstated as chief
of police ef Pine Bluff Alderman Jor.
Jan seconded the motion Mayor
White declared the motion out of or
der. The office cf chief of police was
vacant. City Attorney Coleman gave
his opinion that the courts decision
recognized Mr.. Culpepper as never
having been legally removed from Of
flee. The suit was for money and not
title.
Mr. Nichol said he thought the two
designations were simply plan to
beat the devil around a stump, or a
scheme to have Mr.. Peterson act as
chief of police and draw money. He
thought Mr.. Culpepper was entitled
to the Office and should have it.
Mr.. Nichol then moved that Mr.. Cu,-
pepper be called on to resume the du-
ties of the Office of chief of police
Mayor White said that this would take
the executive department Out of the
mayors hands and he hoped the coun
Gil would not act hastily Mr. Nichol
said the courts had ruled that Mr. Cul
pepper was chief of police and thought
he ought to perform the duties of the
office. Mr.. Nichol finally withdrew his

the matter is the governor desired the
measure passed, as it would aHoro
him an opportunity to place several OF
his henchmen in office, as the Dill
makes the Offices appointive, except
in the Pine Bluff district, in when
the chancery court Judge is an cleo
tive cfficer by the people. In the
other districts the governor appoints
the Judges. The dear people have
no voice whatever in the selection OF
the Judges. yet these same voters are
taxed To pay the salaries OF these
judges.
The truth of the matter is the legls-
lature should have abolished the chah-
Gerry courts already in existence. ana
have placed the duties of the chah-
cellors on the circuit curt judges
which could have been done without
putting more work on the circuit court
Judges than they could easily handle.
In that event decent salaries could
have been paid the circuit judges, and
at the same time thousands Of dollars
saved to the taxpayers.

THE QUEEN OF COWS.
ing Machine She Has No Equal
Anywhere.

Utica, N. Y, has recently won dis
cow, Sadie by name which-or per-
haps such a cow as Sadie ought to be
referred to as ''who"-is a resident
of that place. Sadie has broken the
worlds 30-day record for milk-giv-
ing and butter producing. This is no
easy thing for a COW to do, but re-
ports are to the effect that Sadie ac-
complished the trick without showing
any signs of nerUus collapse or ut
tering a solitary moo of complaint.
In the 80 days during which Sadie
was put to the test she produced a
fraction over 2,754 pounds of milk,
from which was extracted 1913 pounds
81 ounces of butter. In other words,
the milk that Sadie gave during the
&c days contest would have been suf-
ficient to drown her if it had been
tanked and she thrown in, while her
months supply of butter, if packed
in the ordinary bricks, would have
served to make around her wall
so high that she could hardly have
jumped over it.
Sadie is certainly wonderful cow.
II she hasn't proved that part may
be two or three times as great as
the whole she has at least shown
that in spite of the wonderful adj
vances men have made in their meth
ads of handling and utilizing steam
and electricity the COW remains in
some way the most extraordinary
machine that was ever invented

ing, testing milk, and such work that
would be better done away from
cream and butter. | should prefer
steam power, because we can thus
obtain hot water and dry steam for
sterilizing without extra equipment
or cost. Put in cement floor over
the entire surface, providing for a
gutter, and some good outside drain
age. Using glazed tile for a wains-
cot will add to the beauty and fin
ish, and somewhat to the cost. If
brick is used at eight dollars per
1000, the cost laid will be from $13
to SIS per 1000. l am reliably in
formed that a wall of cement, sand
and stone of equal strength and sus-
tanning power, with an air chamber,
and these two walls held firmly by
iron ties, can be built cheaper than
a brick wall. The cut shows a ground
plan. The location of the equipment
may be changed. No opening is pro-
vided between butter room and the
boiler room. The passage is through
the wash room, which will obvlate
dust from coal. The main shaft will
be suspended and betting may be
carried either way. Use window
space enough to provide plenty of
