INVESTIGATION NEtDfD.
Chairmaa Phillips, of Railroad Conmis. sion, Makes Charges That Shoad
 Be Investigated.

During the recent session Of the state railroad commission when the matter of the car short age on the White River road was >up, Chairman Phillips sprung a sensation which will. in all prob ability, be looked into by the au- thorities. When Superintendent Green made the statement that the shortage was due to the fact that at Newport the cars became congested on account of the fail ure of the compress to turn out the cotton, Judge Phillips stop ped him to ask a question: MT. Green, is it not true that some of the trouble lies in the fact that certain conductors, brakemen and others employed by the road, spot cars for certain industries, while others go without? And is 1t not true that in some cases some places of business have cars for several days in advance when others have not enough to move their business? Is 1t not true that this is the case because these industries carry these en- ployes on their regular pay rolls? Is not this species of graft ram- pant at Newport? l am satisfied that if you did know it 1t would be very difficult for them to be reached. l am in favor of mak- ing a transaction of this kind a felony and sending those who par ticipate in it to states prison. MT. Green said that while this might be the case, he was not aware of it and would welcome any proof, in order that the ser vice might be betteyed. .-Arkan- sas Democrat.

Christmas Greeting.

Another Christmas has rolled around to bring gCod cheer into the hearts of men and claim their time and thought for a brief holiday season. The old year almost gone brings a flood of reflections upon it's events. The oppol tunities neglected or ac- cepted have told their story upon our lives. If we have embraced them, further good doth feed upon their memory and prompt the heart to make Christmas a useful season in blessing others. If passed by, remorse kindles doubly the natural impulse of the mirthfui season, and the heart is open to appeals Ot charity.
 In this age, when tainted moneys" have come to be scoffed at and despized, when people go back of the gift and enquire whether the means of all such charity were honorably and honestly earned, Christmas con- tributions have not been ques- toned or scrutiniZed. The world recognizes that upon this day, the heart of civilized man opens from it's calloused shell of business and selfish cares and interests to survey in humani- tation spirit the welfare of his fellow man.
 And thus, though Christmas charity often comes from awak- ened hearts, it is nearly always genuine. The season of the year before the rigors of mid winter, make it timely, the honored custome of generations back through the dark ages her aid and acclaim it's approach, the very atmosphere and prepara- tions about us warm the heart to it's emotions and the generosity that is aroused within makes it. self felt in Christmas giving.
 Remembrances upon this day are thus valued for the feeling that is often embraced in their simplicity and even the charity dispensed seems doubly charged

constipation

TeXarkana, Dec. 22. An un- known white man was found in an unconscious condition yester- day afternoon in a boXcar in the local Kansas City Southern Rail- way yards. He had two ugly bruises, evidently inflicted by some heavy instrument, one be- ing over the right eye and the other on top of the head, and he was splitting blood. He was taken to a local sanitarium, where It was found that hls skull was serI- ously fractured. His recovery is considered very doubtful with the chances against him. In his pocket was found a bricklayer' S card, issued by the Little Rock union, which bore the name of r. Sanders. The affair is shrouded in mystery, but the police are hard at work trying to clear It up, though as yet they have no clue.
