Travelling Men and Politics.

While In Greenwood Wednesday, Mr..
q. D. Brown, a popular cigar drummer
out Of New Orleans, composed the fol-
lowing few lines. When Mr.. Brown
wrote this he had just visited the cigar
merchants Of our city. Finding that he
could not distract their minds from pol
itics to talk cigars, he finally retreated
to the Greenwood Hotel, where he. as
sumed the attitude Of a bard and made
the following appeal,
ELVES Of travelling men all remind us
Honest toll doesn't stand a chance,
The more we work, we find behind us
Larger patches In our pants;
On u pants once bright and glossy,
Now Of different stripe and hue,
All because the customers linger
And don't order what is due.
So let us all be up and doing,
Give us orders large and small.
Or, when the snowy winter strikes US
We shall have no pants at ALL"

cation as is imparted under the aus pices of the state Speaking on this subject recently. Commissioner Brown said:
 "One dominant tendency of Aineri can education which has come out clearly in the past few years and has commanded the attention of Americans and foreigners alike is the tendency to bind our educational institutions to gether into a consecutive system, af fording free passage from the lower grades to the higher and so on up to the highest university studies. My thought in these matters is largely in fuenced by many years of experience in states having each a well developed state university intimately connected with the common schools and cOnsti- tuting the recognized head of com plete state system of education. Ill such a system every part strengthens every other part The general public becomes interested to surprising de gree in all members of such a system. from the lowest to the highest, and. on ] the other hand, the conception of pub lie service receives tremendous en phasis in the crowning institution and in all the institutions of the lower grade"

 Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 24.-- Endorsements of the Balch bill, which is intended to exclude the old line fire insurance companies from the provisions of the antitrust law and permit the sixty-four com panies which were forced to leave the state two years ago, to return, are pouring in from all parts of the state. The bill was endorsed by the Arkansas Municipal League which was formed in this city by repre- sentatives of the cities of the first and second class in the state, and it has been endorsed by various or panizations of business men and insurance men in all parts Of the state.
