BEN JOHNSON
 ALSO STEPS DOWN Quits the Iron Mountain as General Attorney For That Railway Company in Arkansas.
IN HARNESS 28 YEARS
M. X. Austin, of This City. Rendered His Resignation as Assistant Gen. eral Attorney Several Days Ago Because of Insufficient Pay.

Announcement was made yester- day in Little Rock of the resigna- tion of E. $. Johnson, for twenty eight years general attorney for Arkansas of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway com pany. Thomas M. Mehaffy, for years local attorney for the road, has been appointed general at torney.
 The announcement came in the nature of a surprise in all quarters. MT. Johnson sent in his resignation to the company two months ago, but not until yesterday was it &C., cepted. With the announcement of his retirement from the service of the railroad comes the statement that M. A. Austin of Pine Bluff. as sistant general attorney for the Pine Bluff district, had recently ten- dered his resignation and an nounced that he will refuse to serve after January 3l. Exclusive an nouncement of Mir. Austin's retire ment was made in the Graphic sev eral days ago.
 Mr. Johnson and George E. Dodge were appointed assistant generals for the Iron Mountain in October, 1879. The appointments were made by Thomas Allen. The Goulds took possession of the road in 1881 and Messrs. Johnson and Dodge were retained as assistant general attorneys for the road and acted as such until the death of Mr. Dodge in February. 1901.
 A circular will be issued by the legal department of the Iron Noun tain today announcing the appoint ment of T. M Mehaffy as general attorney to succeed MT. Johnson. The circular states that Mr. John son will remain in the legal depart-1 ment as consulting counsel Ac- cOrding to the circular MT. Me- haffy's jurisdiction will include the whole of Arkansas except that DOT tion of the Little Rock and Fort Smith line and the Greenwood branch which remains in the hands of Oscar h. Miles, general attOr- ney for Indian Territory, with of fees at Fort Smith.
 MT. Mehaffy stated last night that so far he contemplates no changes in the list of assistants and mem bers of the legal department over the state.

Pine Bluff Ark. Jan 9, 1907.

Pine Bluff Ark, Jan. 9, 1907.
 New Orleans La. Jan. 9.-The one feature of merit yesterday was the active demand for spots which, in the absence of supporting future markets, was of great significance. All during holiday here cables came pouring in from all sides and over 5O,0O0 were turned over at 1-16 advance in values. Such holiday business has seldom been seen and as a large spot buyer puts it, the interior evidently does not realize the situation or it might again close down on it's holdings, regardless of advance in prices.
 Liverpool maintained Mondays prices up to D. m., when weakness in New York foreshadowing inten- tions on publication of census caused some setback, spot sales continue large, the total reaching 15,00o bales at six points higher quotations.
 The trading here this morning con- sisted of the preliminaries according to individual anticipation of the effect of the census report to be published at l D. m Fear of an attack by New York in case it shows 11,700,00O or over has not subsided and to it was due the lower opening and scattered liquidation throughout the morning. However, the fact that the market did not break further also demonstrates that confidence in the strong spot sit uation is being equally well defended. Trading settled around 10.3o for March The spot market is steady al 1 though there is less business for the reason that spot buyers, too, are wait ing for the census report Owing to the high premiums for fully middllnS cotton, strict low middling and low middling good color and style are now being more freely used against ex- port engagements of Liverpool mid ding and fully middling. The official grade difference from middling is therefore liable to be narrowed some what in our market in the near future. This only refers, however. to the two qualities named, low middling and strict low middling. Grades below low middling are being traded in at the full grade difference from mid ding as quoted.
 Spot demand became quite active towards noon regardless of the pend T ing census With such pressing sup port from actual cotton there is not much fear from document of mere statistical value.

The special edition of the Tribune will contain articles contributed especially for this edition by the leading good roads advocates of Arkansas, lnclud- ing President James Gould of Pine Bluff and Secretary J. $. Hawkins of
 this city, as we'll as others most prominently identified with the cause. In an interview with a Gazette re- porter last night Secretary Hawk kins stated that never in the history of Ar kansas had the advocates of good roads been so enthusiastic as at pres ent, and he expresses the most conf1- dent hope of favorable legislation at this session of the legislature.
 The forthcoming meeting of the as sociation is expected to 5e fruitful of very far-reaching results, and coming as it does at the beginning of the pres ent session of the legislature, is sig nificant of the intention of the mem bers of the association to put the mat ter squarely up to the legislators

THINKS STATE FACES DEFICIT.
Governor Davis Last Message to Legislature Will Deal With
 This Subject.

Little Rock, Jan. S.-Gov. Davis made the statement recently that his final message to the legislature will deal extensively with the state ment that the state is facing a de- ficit. He declared that if the col lectors turn in proceeds from liquor licenses as they are required by law to do, the state will have ample funds to carry on it's business until the April collections come in.
 He declares that the state does not owe a dollar except to herself. All outstanding bonds are in her own vaults. His arraignment of the publication of an article here Saturday morning relative to an al- legged report of the treasurer of state was severe. He characterized the entire matter as story with 1 no foundation.

To Increase Tax on Fertilizers.

What promises to be one of the most
important measures to be voted upon
by the general assembly at this session
is the bill which was introduced stimuli
taneously in the house and senate pro
viding for an increase in the price Of
fertilizer tags from ten to twenty-five
cents each.
When these bills come up before
their respective agricultural commit
tees, they will be amended so as to
provide that the proceeds which shall
arise from the sale of these tags shall
be turned into a fund for the support
of the eleven congressional district
agricultural colleges Of the state and
the agricultural college located at the
university of Georgia
In speaking of this bill, Mr.. Martin,
the author of the measure in the house,
said:
"By increasing the tax on fertilizer
tags from ten cents to twenty-five
cents for each ton of fertilizer inspect
ed, and sold in the state, the revenue
which will be derived will run into
the thousands of dollars. This money
will come out Of the farmer who buys
the fertilizer to use on his farm ant
will go to teach his boy scientific farm
ing.
with this very slight tax on fer
ttizers and applied to the agriculture
schools and colleges Of the state, W
estimate that there will accrue to tn
benefit of each of the eleven congres
sional schools $4,000 and to the pal
emit school at the university at leas
s5O,OOO."

phvsicians Are Perturbed.

Leading physicians all over 'he
state are perturbed over the proVls-
i'm contained in the Hartman prohibit
lion bill. which makes it unlawful Tor
druggists to furnish anything but pure
alcohol for medicinal purposes. Pure
alcohol, the physicians claim, is "a
noison when taken internally, and IS
only used externally as a medicine.
The bill as it is worded, seems to
make it unlawful for druggists to fill
prescriptions calling for whiskey, bran
DIV or wine, which are recognized by
all authorities as drugs as much as
quinine
The United States Pharmacopoeia, the
acknowledged medical authority as TO
drugs to be used in Notwithstanding
been made SO by an enactment OF
congress-recognizes alcohol, brandy
whiskey, white and red wine as medl
cines, and physicians rely greatly upon
their use in certain cases.

4iah court uphoIds RuIe NO. /.

High Court Uphods Rule No. I.
The supreme court of Georgia has
rendered an important and far-reach-
ing decision upholding the right OF the
state railroad commission to establish
continuous mileage rates over two con-
Meeting lines. one of which is owned,
managed Or controlled by the other.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the Wadley Southern Railroad
company against Hill and others, rail-
road commissioners, in which Judge
George F. Gober, of the Blue Ridge cir
cult. held in favor Of the contention
of the railroad company against the
right of the commission to order and
enforce such rates. The effect OF Judge
Gobers decision was, practically, to
render null and void rule / OF the
railroad commissions traffic rules,
which provides that where two con-
Meeting lines are under the same own
! ership or control, Or where one owns
majority Of the stock in another,
the rates over such two lines shall be
on a continuous mileage basis. The
decision overrules Judge Gober.
