The Arkansas Democrat has Il

The Arkansas Democrat has the sympathetic regrets of The Times in the loss of its splendid new printing plant which was burned Sunday night, presumably by an incendiary. The loss aggregating about 1000 was partially cover cd by insurance to the amount oi nearly sl00,000. The Democrat did not miss an issue, the Gazette coming to it's aid. The company will probably be greatly handi- capped in rebuilding by the Anti Trust law which has driven all old line insurance companies from the state.

U drop in s bucket to carry all of { the insurance in Arkansas. No one company nor dozen eompA- nies. with capital sggregsting several millions, would think for one moment of taking all the risks in Arkansas They could rot carry II if they would Suppose the State or some one company siih 6 capital of 8 million had written all Of the insurance carried in Hot Springs when it recently suffered such a fearful confsgra- tion. What would have been the condition Of the treasury to-dayg Suppose the State had carried all of that s100, 900 insurance on the Arkansas Democrat which burned Sunday nightl How long time would be required to make up tor this loss, and what would the old soldiers and the wards of the State do in the meantime for the means of subsistence? The Democrats loss was distributed among thirty. one companies.
 fhat million dollars" referred to by the News so fsmilisrly, be- longs 10 the blind, the deaf, the dumb. the insane, the decrepid soldiers. Ii belongs to the various funds which the law provides shall be disbursed tor the expense of State government, including sal arcs to officers and clerks, pen sions, schools, maintenance of it's charitable and humane institu- tions, militia, etc, and these va rious institutions, which are our pride and joy, may not wait upon chance as would be the case if the State was conducting an Insurance Bureau. The money provided for them must be ready for disburse- ment as their expenses accrue.
 Has the News forgotten tha, only two years ago the subsistence 1 of the inmates of one of these insti. tutions was jeopardized by the famous omnibus veto, which made the funds unavailable for two years?
 The third paragraph in the ar ticle from the News IS remarkable It must have been an oversight on the part Of the editor, because
 il leads it's reader to believe tha,
 the News does not itself believe
 what 1t prints, but prints it solely for effect. This is the eharacteris
 tic of demagogue It has per
 sistentIy endorsed the Anti.Trus law.
 Paragraph i is unworthy 0
 mention, but for the fact that i
 might be taken as confessed, anC that there might be some one un sophisticated reader of the N ewi who has taken 1t seriously. The idea conveyed is mostpreposterous untenable and ridiculous. l would if carried out, absorb al lines of trade and traffic, and pu the people in the yoke under polit ical tyrants which the law would
 propagate.
 Paragraph , is not true in any particular.
 The News man has had some thing to say recently of an editoi
 who hadn't the nerve to print ar opinion of his own. IL must talk, collosal nerve to publish such | pipe dream us the above, in req
 earnest, and expect 8 suffering
 public to drink II in for wisdom , It is reflection upon the intel , ligence of any l2-year old school boy in the county, and the New
 makes itself ridiculous even tc
 some of it's sympatbizing friends
 who blush for its extravagan
 ideas of evil government. -

Newspaper Rulings.
SOME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITRD
STATES SUPREME U AS TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

/. If subscribers order the discon-
~tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Tor other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postofice, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evil
dence of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at tho
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearagess is sent to the
publisher.
6. The latest postal laws are such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher Of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

A Few Facts.

On the first OF March, 1901,
there was hardly an acre of land
in this section that was not thor
oughly prepared and ready for
planting; on the first OF March,
1905, there was practically none.
On the first OF April, 1904, all
corn and cotton in this section
had been planted and worked
out today, May 4th, 1905, about
SO per cent of the corn and about
35 per cent Of the cotton has been
planted, it has not been worked
at all, and the ground is too wet
to stick . pillow in for another
week at least. This condition
prevails pretty well throughout
Mississippi.
Telegraphie advices from Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana and Texas bear
out the same deductions as to the
conditions OF the cotton crop.
Another thing, and one which
has been apparently overlooked,
is that the entomologist of the
United States Agricultural De
partment has officially reported
that the boil weevil has crossed
the Mississippi River, and the
laleness of the season seems to
make it entirely probable that
the ravages of this pest will this
year be very extensive.
With these facts before you,
o4n you doubt q big reduction in
the cotton crop, If you will but
do your part; and as these facts
become known to the manufac-
turer, Gan you doubt a big ad-
vance in the price of the staplef
Pay no attention to the exag
gerated reports of u big crop be
ing planted, Reduce your own
acreage, hold fast to what cotton
you have-the price will go up,
and we will all be prosperous and
happy.
