Directors Responsible.

Attorney General Rogers has de- livered an opinion to the effect that school directors who do not visit the schools according to law, subject them selves to a fine of twenty-five dollars. He calls attention 10 Section 76ll of the digest which prescribes that pen alty for neglect or failure to perform the duties of the office" and states distinctly that visiting the schools at least twice during term is obli- gatory. It is surmised that the opin- ion will result in greater activity among several hundred directors and prosecutions for neglect may follow the failure 10 heed this warning.

Opinion of a Prominent Politician.

Mr. Editor:
 l would through your valuable paper speak my sentiments as regards the presidential nomination in 1908.
 While the masses and the classes are clamoring for leadership and as Missouri and Arkansas have already endorsed William Jenning Bryan to be the nominee in 1908, many of onr very able men of the south and the north think him the logical candi- date. l am in favor of wiping out the Mason and Dixon line, asserting our colors, asserting our manhood and the solid south nominating a southern man. There is no possible chance for MT. Bryan or southern man either. but we would have the very great consolation that We had nominated southern man.
 We have plenty of able men that are thoroughly competent to fill this high position. l could name several. All historians and all politicians know that public sentiment shifts quickly, hence two years is long look.
 One of the greatest men, think. the United States has ever produced is at loss to know what has brought about this premature excitement or arOuSal of interest. It could not be his travels abroad, it could not be his writing for forty papers and for thirty or forty magazines General Grant was once Highly honored by all Europe and inthis country, but when he died it was as agood man, it is true, but as common man.
 I would like to see the people of this glorious southland concentrate their forces.
 l will close for the present.

We have written and talked and worked necessarily for factories and industries and modern conyeniences for Forrest City for the best part of our life and 1t is some comfort as We pass over the meridian to know and see that our labor has not been in vain, and that the ripe fruit hangs in punches from the vine.

: VARIETIES OF CRAMPS.
Curious Affections of Men In Various
Walks of Life.

One of the curious consequences of
the modern division of labor is the
cramp that attacks those who constant
ly use their hands in one particular
manner.
Writing cramp was the first to ap-
pear, being quite unknown until the in
PRODUCTION Of steel pens. 1t affects men
gularly, those who suffer are not liter
ary men, but copyists. 1t is almost in
durable, and even when the left hand
Is used the cramp very soon crosses
over to it.
Musicians Of every kind are attacked.
Among pianists it is chiefly ladies am
bilious to become professionals who
are the Victims Violent pain, weak
ness and fatigue of the arm make play
Ing an impossibility. Violinists are af.
fected both in the fingers of the left
hand and the hand that holds the bow.
Clarinet players get cramps of the
tongue, and flute players get cramp in
the larynX.
Telegraphers suffer very often, and
they call it Gloss of the grip" TailOrS
get cramps in legs as well as hands.
Smiths and carpenters get what is
called hammer cramp," resulting from
the enormous number of blows struck.
1t Is estimated that forger of knives
and scissors strikes $4,000 blows every
day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand, espe-
cially in the case Of those who break in
hard mouthed horses. Cigarmakers,
watchmakers, photographers, auction
eers, sawyers, billiard players, dentists,
turner's, stampers, weavers, painters,
money counters and ballet dancers-all
suffer from their own peculiar cramps
and often SO. severely that they have to
exchange their employment for some
other,

sons and Builders association has
raised the wages of bricklayers and
bricklayers' helpers Commencing on
May 21st, bricklayers will receive 81
per day of eight hours and helpers $4
a day. This is an advance of one
dollar a day for bricklayers and so
cents for helpers. In a statement
that has been issued, the builders as
sociation declares the supply of this
kind of skilled labor is in adequate

found necessary to take this action as
an inducement to journeymen to come
and help in the rebuilding of the city.

EMPEROR'S REPLY

The Issue Now Raised Is Not Likely

Time.
st. Petersburg, May 18-The criti-
cal moment which will decide whether
there will be peace or war between the
crown and the people apparently ar
rived with the adoption by the lower
house OF parliament Thursday night,
OF its reply to the speech from the
throne
President Mouromtzeff has gone to
Peterhoff to present the reply to the
emperor, and his majesty's response
is awaited with great anxiety.
Popular opinion considers that the
government has no option between
surrender or war. Nevertheless, while
events during the past week followed
each other with extreme rapidity, the
issue now raised is not likely to be
decided quickly.
The Russians generally believe that
the emperor's court and government
undoubtedly have been dazed by the
blunt, direct fashion with which par
lament has spoken out and their pol
icy naturally will be to gain time.
The emperor personally is in a be-
netcent frame Of mind and for the

of those who advise him to dissolve
parliament and fight. Nevertheless,
he Is resolved not to yield anything
like all that parliament demands. 1t
safely can be predicted, therefore, that
he will pursue temporizing policy
with partial amnesty as the first sop
thrown to the country. The consti-
tutional democratic leaders, whose pro-
gram would be upset by the dissolu.
ton of parliament, are quite as anxious
as the emperor to avoid the precipita-
tion of conflict. They would regard
the failure Of the government to de-
clare war as a big preliminary victory,
OF which they would take advantage
by forcing through their agrarian pro-
ject, on which they count to strength
en- themselves in the country before
the final battle begins.
That the court reactionists, headed
by General Trepoff, are seeking In
every way possible to influence the
emperor to fight, is apparent by the
discovery made by the Rech of a Sc.
cret circular sent to the governors in.

announced his retirement from the
race for governor. He urged his fol-

NOSE CHANGES.
They Are Gradual and TmDerceptible,
but Continuous.

but Continuous.
Don't worry about the shape Of your
baby's nose If it Is q snub nor be sure II
it pleases you by Its regularity that it
will be the nose that will grow UP with
it, for scientists have observed that no
feature changes more as life progresses.
The length of the nose increases so
much faster than its breadth that the
snub nosed baby may evolve a long,
even hooked nose. This change in the
shape Of noses is gradual and imper-
ceptible, generally more expeditions in
the male than in the female, correlated
with various other characteristics, such
as intellectual attainments or weak
constitution, and producing different
results. During maturity and senes-
cence the bridge Of the nose becomes
more and more prominent, often more
convex, so that extreme old age may
even develop an aquiline nose, 30 that
one need never despair Of possessing a
satisfactory nose at some period Of his
life If he only lives long enough. But,
like so many other blessings that are
deferred, the right kind Of nose may
arrive too late to affect ones fortunes
