BRUNDIDGE PUBLIC SCHOOL BILL
Measure Which rleans S5, 600, GOO For Arkansas Schools Hay
 Become q Law

Reports from Washington say that on last Friday Representative Brundidge secured favorable re- port from the house committee on public lands on his bill donating to Arkansas for school purposes over million acres of land, valued at about s, 900, 600.
 There were only three votes against the bill, and there was on- ly one amendment adopted, name ly, that the money derived from the sale of the land should be used for school purposes, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Chairman Lacey of the committee fought the bill to the last, but Representative Robin son of Arkansas who is a member of the committee, forced a vote on the measure and Chairman Lacey went down in defeat.
 The bill now has splendid chance of becoming law at this session of congress. With q view of expediting matters Senator Ber- ry will probably be asked to intro duce and push the amended bill through the senate.

A PICTURE OF LIFE

Did you ever hear of 3 man try ing to lift up an unfortunate wo- man when she falls from the high pedestal of honor and virtuel Nary lift. Too much Adamic blood still creeping through our snake polluted veins. When once woman trips and falls from her high and honored position, she lands in hell from which no hu- man will stoop to lift her out; hus- band and brother, father and son are deaf to her cries from that hour. But on the other hand how be its l have seen men as low as 1t is possible for them to fall; have seen the wife lift the husband from the gutter and press him to her heart with tears and sympa- thy, love and anguish trickle down her cheek in profusion. I have seen the wife follow the husband through life in one constant whirl of misery and misfortune, and when at last at the gates of hell they are separated, would stand
 and ring her hands in mortal ag-

PRESSING COTTON CLAIMS BILL
Bill Providing for Distribution of Sl2,000, ,000 to Southerners
 Pending in Congress

Reports from the national capi- tai say that there will soon be re- ported out of the Senate commit tee on claims bill which has been subject of partisan discussion and futile endeavor from q day an tedating the beginning of the of flclal tenure of the oldest member of congress. Reference is made to the cotton claims bill, involving the distribution of SIP, 1000, GOO now lying in the treasury of the United States among several thousand claimants scattered thru out the Southern states.
 Immediately after the cessation of hostilities between the states of the North and the South the fed eral government confscated prop erty in the South under an act of congress known as the captured and abandoned act. , The major part of this property consisted of cotton. Subsequently the govern ment sold this cotton, realizing therefrom in round figures the sum of S32, 100000. Of this sum SIP. 10000 was deducted for the expenses incurred in the capture, storing care and handling of the cotton. The balance of S20, ,000, ,000 was deposited in the United States treasury. At different succeeding dates eight or ten million of this -S20, ,000, 900 has been paid out to persons who prosecuted their claims successfully in former con- gresses. There yet remains in the treasury balance of SIP, ,000, ,000, which the supreme court of the United States in decision several years ago held in effect was sub- ject to appropriation by congress in payment of these old cotton claims.
 Nearly every dollar to be paid under the bill will go to the South "a fact, which, it is said, has op- .erated to retard and otherwise embarrass the settlement of the several thousand cotton claims. Robert NJ. Gates, a we'll known newspaper correspondent at the national capital says there Is hard ly doubt that if these claims had been held by people outside of the South they would have been paid long ago, but in no transaction of the American congresses are the Southern people reminded of the survival of Northern animosity and resentment consequent upon the civil war quicker than in mat ters involving the paying out of money in the South

.srhe Omen of siciIy.v

Syracuse calls itself the capital Of tho
south, but it has no cause to dispute
pride of place with Palermo. The met
ropolitan city is superior in popula-
ton. wealth and much else, but 1t is de-
ficient in what its ancient and glorious
rival has in such abundance. For SYRIA
cuse has the supreme charm Of Greece
in a way that no other city except Ath-
ems has. Not even in COrlnth, nowhere
in HeIlas from Messana or Sparta In
the south to Thebes In the north, is
there any Hellenic town to compare
with 1.-THE queen Of Sicily" As a sane
tuary, Delphi is far more impressive
than anything in Sicily, as a national
meeting place Olympia has no rival,
but nowhere except at Athens is q
Greek city to be seen today which has
the proud record of the marvellous me-
tropolis Of the Sicilian Greeks, a city
as great in power and wealth and
beauty as Athena herself, and victor
at last in the long and fatal rivalry
which indirectly involved the passing
of the Hellenistic dominion Of all the
lands washed by the IOnian and Med
iterranean seas.-Century.

INVESTIGATION
Of CONDITION
OF MEATS
Offered for Sale in Pensacola is
Being Pursued, and Further
Arrests are Expected.

The investigation of the condition
of meats offered for sale in Pensacola,
which started last "wednesday when
the mayor and health officer visited
the packing houses, has not ceased by
any means, but on the other hand has
just started good and further devel-
opments are expected during the ear
ly portion of the week.
In fact, it was stated last night that
more information had been secured re-
gaFding the condition of certain classes
of meats that have been offered for
sale in Pensacola, and that arrests
would follow shortly.
IN pursuing the investigation the
mayor is not only acting in his capa-
city as mayor of the city, but also as
eX-Office chairman of the board of
health. These matters were reported
to him and he in company with the
city health officer took prompt steps
20 make an investigation.
The mayor stated yesterday after
noon that the health of the people
could not be protected as long as the
food products were not clean, and
that 1t was the duty of the city Off
Gals to see that the city laws were
not violated.
1t is learned that shortly before the
investigation was begun large guam
tity Of mutton was found in a garb-
age barrel, having been placed there
by a butcher, and that other kinds of
meats badly decayed were found in
garbage barrels. Reports have also
come to the mayor of corned beef, bad
ly spoiled, that has been treated with
a preparation of chloride of lime and
offered for sale, or rather sold, and he
is looking into this matter also. This
is said, was done by a grocery store.
