State Capital Notes
To Appear In Bulletin Form.

The resources of Arkansas are to appear in bulletin form from time to time, and will be issued by the Ar kansas Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture. Each mineral, agri- cultural and other resource of the State will be set forth in a separate bulletin similar to the ones issued by the agricultural department at Wash ington. Commissioner Tucker finds it necessary to adopt this systeu on ac- count of the numerous inquiries he receives daily from every section of the country concerning the various resources of the State. The majority of inquiries come from persons who want information regarding the agri- cultural possibilities of the State MT. Tucker proposes to issue separate bulletin on every fruit, vegetable and grain produced in the State. He will also prepare special bulletins on each mineral and variety of stone found in the State. During the past two months more inquiries have been received at the agricultural depart ment concerning the bauxite deposits in Saline and Pulaski counties, and the marbles of Independence, Newton and other counties, than have reached the department in the past during a-year's period. All these letters have been answered, but not as fully as desired by the commissioner. MT. Tucker is securing official data of every resource of the State, and as far as he receives the information he is seeking he will issue a bulletin upon such subject upon which the information is com plete By degrees he hopes to as certain the producing qualities of every quarter section in every town ship in every county in Arkansas. All this information he intends to classify so that any visitor to the department, or any person making written inquiry for information regarding any resource of the State, can secure what he wants at moments notice. The object of this scheme is to make the Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture an institution in every respect what its name implies-a bureau of information concerning every resource of the State of Arkan- sas. The first bulletin from the agri- cultural department, it is expected, will be issuel some time during the coming week.

Charity Board May Meet.

The Board of Trustees of the State Charitable Institutions will probably hold a meeting here the latter part Of the week for the purpose of attending to a number of matters incident to the opening of the Blind School and Deaf Mute Institute. There has been no call issued fo ra special session of the board. but it is believed meet ing will be held. It was hinted that a number of questions relating to the details of management of the institu- tions, over which there has been some disagreement, would be satisfactorily settled, which would result in a har- monious and satisfactory opening of both the Blind School and Deaf Mute Institute. Both institutions are under going an overhauling and everything will be in readiness at each when the time arrives for the formal commence ment of the terms.

Pardons Granted.

Will Hawkins, a negro, who served term in the penitentiary for lar ceny, has been granted a pardon by Acting Governor Pindall to restore his citizenship in order that he may testify in a case in the Pulaski Circuit Court. Denton Baker. convicted in the Carroll Circuit Court at the August, 1907. term on the charge of manslaughter, and sentenced to two years in the pen itentiary was also pardoned. A num- erously signed petition, containing the names of the jurors in the case and the relatives of the man killed, was pre- sented to the governor. There was no protest against the issuance of the pardon, the offense being considered a technical violation of the law. Will Greene, convicted in the Arkansas Circuit Court in October, 1898, on the charge of grand larceny and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. The pardon was granted to restore citizen ship.

Money Orders to Italy.

Although the foreign population in Little Rock is not in the majority, a great deal of the money order busi- ness in the Little Rock postoffice is foreign business Each week many money orders are made out for pay ments in points in Greece and Italy. November and December are the heav- fest months at the local office for for eign business. This probably is due to the fact that strangers send part of their earnings home as Christmas presents.

Must Keep Cotton Account.

The temporary injunction issued against the Railroad Commission of Arkansas on the application of the St.. Louis Southwestern Railway Company has been received by the clerk of the United States Circuit Court. The order was issued in Denver, Colo, last Sat urday by Judge Willis Vandeventer. The papers and orders in the other cases have been mailed. In granting the injunction against J. E. Hampton, R. P. Allen and John w. Crockett, who comprise the Railroad Commission of Arkansas, the railroads were required not only to put up bonds in the sum of $20,000 but must keep separate account of the cotton business from the date the commissions order. No 349, was authorized to be effective. The order of the commission would have gone into effect on last Monday and would have done away with the concentration rate on nOn-compressed cotton. The order states the road must keep a separate record or all shipments of cotton coming within the terms of the commissions order. The account must in each instance show the name of the consignor and the name of the consignee, place of ship ment and destination. In addition the exact number and weight of the bales in each shipment must be tabulated and must also show the amount Of freight charges actually received. The temporary order is effective until Octo- Der 16, when the cases of the compan- ies are to be taken before Judge Trie- Der, the point to be decided being whether the injunctions shall be made permanent or dissolved.

Kismek

Kismet is an Arabic word meanin1 fate" or fit is fated." A belief In predestination is one of the funda- mental principles in the Mohammedan faith. Not only a mans fortune, but his deeds, and consequently his future reward or punishment are, according to this faith, irrevocably. and thus un- avoidably, pre-ordained-a doctrine which has contributed largely to the success of Islam by inspiring its cham pions with the greatest contempt for the dangers of warfare. When a Mo hammedan meets with any disaster or misfortune, no matter how great. he accepts the situation calmly. merely saying, "Kismet"-"it is fated."

Makes Cation Rate.

A petition from the Louisiana and Northwest Railroad was granted by the Arkansas Railroad Commission to make the flat rate on cotton on that line one and one-third the rate made in order No. 349 of the commission. All other rates on this road, which is a short and unimportant line, are on the same basis.

Rouqh Rice Rates.

The Arkansas Railroad Commission has put into effect a flat mileage rate on rough rice within the state, the first which has been made in Arkan- sas, to meet the demands of this new and rapidly growing industry. The rate was put in as a result of a peti tion from the rice interests of the state. A mill has been established at Stuttgart and will be put into opera tion this fall. Heretofore, since rice raising has been an Arkansas indus try, the rough product has been taken to New Orleans mills. The rate put in by the commission is lower than that in force in Louisiana and also it is said, than the Texas rate, and the commission believes it will do much toward developing the rice in- dustry. The crop last year was esti- mated at 1O5, ,000 bushels, while this year a crop of 450,000 bushels is the estimate. The commissioners also in an informal way discussed the injunc- tion recently granted against them by a federal court to restrain them from putting into effect the flat mileage rate on cotton. No statement was giv- en out as to this matter, and it was stated that as yet no special counsel has been retained, nor any definite steps taken to protect the rate. The bills of complaint upon which the in- junction was granted have been re- ceived at the commissioners office.
 Senate Journal Nearly Completed.
 The proceedings of the Senate of the recent General Assembly is in type and all the proof of the copy has been read by the Senate Journal Commit tee except a portion of the last days proceedings. The committee, which is composed of Senators Carlock, Hami- ter and Harrison, has been engaged in the preparation of the Senate Jour. nal about four months. Much of the work of copying the journal for the printer was done by George H. Ire vathan, secretary of the Senate, at his home in Batesville. The journal when printed will make a volume of from 500 to 600 pages. It was expected that the report of the joint committee appointed to investigate matters relat- ing to the construction of the new state capitol would be made part of the Senate journal, but this was found to be unnecessary, as the report Is contained in the proceedings of the house, in which the resolution author izing the appointment of the commit tee originated. This report is in itself a bulky volume and has already been printed. The bound volumes of the proceedings of both Senate and house will probably be delivered to the sec retary of state within the next 60 days.
