DEVELOPING ARKANSAS.

Seven charters for new rail- roads in Arkansas were given out on one day last week by the board of railroad incorporators of that state. This is a record probably unequaled in all the annals of the railroad and industrial develop ment in the south.
 True, none of the lines pro, vided for is of great length, nor do any of them mark the begin hing or ending of a great system of transportation, but they do mean the construction of feeders for the trunk lines now in opera ton, and they mean the opening up of a new territory for the ag- riculturist, the miner, the manu- facturer and the merchant.
 There is no part of the south that is developing more rapidly than is Arkansas these days. There is perhaps no other state in the south that is in the posses sion of so great a variety and abundance of talent resources that have been left for develop ing influences of this late day. In addition to being great agri- cultural state, Arkansas possesses a wealth of coal, iron and other mineral deposits, has no equal on the hemisphere as a fruit grow ing region. and, indeed, has all the clements of a we'll balanced prosperity within her own state boundaries. All that she needs is the railroads to bring her products within reach of the markets, and the record of that one day last week indicates that her people are going after this necessity.

BURNING MONEY.

Much of the timber that has been deadened in clearings and left standing in fields, or cut down, rolled together and burned, could have been sold for a good price if there had been facilities within a reasonable distance for converting it into lumber, hubs, spokes, felloes, blow beams, handles, etc. By proper effort this waste of wealth could be stopped. A vast area of the country adjacent to Cot ter abounds with various hard woods used in the manufacture of wagons and other agricultural

FARMER FOUND N
 LOST TREASURE.
Flowed Up a Box1of Coin Con- taining $2, 8oo::Near Sulphur Rock Had Been Buried
 During the War.

Last Thursday while a young son of John Smith of Sulphu, Rock was blowing in an old field he struck something hard and as 1t did not sound like a rock the boy, like a true American, de. cided to investigate.
 With his little hands he soon had the loose earth worked away and brought to view an old iron box. Upon rolling it out upon the hard ground he found on examination that the box was locked with an old fashioned pad lock.
 After looking around carefully to see if any of Capt. Kidd's fol- lowers were close, the boy broke the old lock and raisee the lid to find his many day dreams ot wealth realized, for there before him was an old treasure box filled with gold and silver.
 The boy called to his father to come and the latter was as much surprised as the boy over the un- earthing of such a fortune, for he counted the coin and found that his boy had brought to light $2,8 800.
 Where the box was found is an old field along the side of the old military road, and is SUD- posed to have been buried there many years ago by some miser.
 MT. Smith is a hard-working man and is being congratulated uponshis good luck. He used to run an extra gang on the Iron Mountain railway, but left the road some two years ago to go to farming.

 Much tigation.

Carlisle, May 29. - Unless the courts interven the entire town of Carlisle and about 8, 400 acres acres of land Isurrounding the town will be s4ld at public sale June g on an order granted by the probate court Of Lonoke county to the heirs of the original owner of the land.
 The order was secured by the guardian of three minor heirs of a Frenchman named Comic, who years ago owned all the land on which the town of Carlisle now stands, as we'll as much of the surrounding country. The origi- nal owner sold most of the land years ago, but in 1879, presuma- ply to make the title clear, he secured a patent from the state for the whole tract. He failed, it is said, to make new deeds, however, for the land which he had sold, and as a result the heirs now claim the property.
 Three of the grandchildren of the original owner who now re- side in Louisiana claim an undi- vided sixteenth of the property, and through their guardian se- cured an order for the sale of the whole tract.
 The citizens of Carlisle have held a mass meeting and decided to raise a fund to carry on the fight against the claimants.
