The Other Side to Ala
falfa Growing.

A real estate dealer in alfalfa
farm lands in western Oklahoma
makes this disparaging statement
in his advertisement regarding
alfalfa growing
I'VE hear a good zeal about
the value of an alfalfa crop.
Some people never let up blow
ing about it. They tell you it
you feed it to your work team
you won't have to feed grain to
keep them fat; that it is worth,
pound for pound, as much as
bran.f for feeding milk cows; that
it is one of the best pork pro-
ducers; that it is fine for feeding
beef cattle, and always will tell
you about the immense crop you
can make.
"Oh, come off! Give US a rest!
1t makes US tired! Isn't there
another side F?
"In May, just at the time you
ought to be hoeing out your cot
ton, you have to go into your all
falfa field and cut your first crop
it sort of worries you, but you
have it to do. Then in June,
just as you have chance to go
fishing, there's another crop OF
alfalfa to cut and you don't so.
Its blazing hot in July, and you
feel like you ought to shade
some, but you have to get into
another crop of alfalfa. You are
getting tired of the name of it
by this time. In August you
want to go to camp meeting.
swap yarns, have a good easy
time and imagine you have got
religion. But you can't-there's
that doggoned alfalfa again. In
September it has always bee n
your custom to visit your wife's
kinfolks, but do you go? Not
much. Confound that alfalfa!

most other crops and you want
to go off to that gambling con-

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
(By Staff Correspondent )

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 6.-On the
 ground that the bill would result practically in Imprisonment for debt and would border too closely on peon- age legislation, strong opposition de- veloped in the senate today against the bill introduced by Senator Amis, providing penalties for violation of contracts on the part of employees. It was admitted that the bill was in tended chiefly to remedy conditions in the negro sections of the state, where, it is claimed, many negroes se- cure money and provisions in advance during the winter season., and then fail to work out the obligations as they have agreed to do. Members of the senate from the negro sections urged the passage of the bill but those from other sections opposed it and action was finally postponed. It is thought probable that the bill will be passed but that it will contain amendments eXempting large num- } Der of counties from it's provisions. Many members gave notice that they would ask to have the counties which they represent exempted from the op- erations of the bill The bill was re- turned to the house today with the recommendation that it pass, this ac-

Gen. Lee in Little Rock.

Gen. Stephen D. Lee, commander in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, arrived in Little Rock this morning for the purpose of appearing before the legislature and asking for an appropriation for the erection of Ia monument to the Arkansas troops which took part ill the battles about Vicksburg. Many states have erected Vicksburg battle fields and Gen. Lee is now visiting various southern states in the interest of the movement. Gen. Lee visited the legislature this morning but made no speech when he was introduced to that body. He has asked for hearing, however, and the senate has invited him to address a joint session of the senate and house at II o'clock tomorrow morning. Gen. Lee will remain in the city until to- morrow night at least.
 House Reversed Itself.
 The house again reversed itself to- day and sent back to the committee On railroads the Barker demurrage bill which on yesterday it recalled from the committee. Mir. Killough moved that the former vote be recon sidered, stating that the bill was one of the most important that would 1 come before the General Assembly and it should receive proper consid- eration. Mir. Barker, the author of the measure, objected, declaring the

 Increase of Liquor License.
 Representative Van Hook of Union county introduced a bill in the house this morning providing that the state liquor license shall be increased from $500 to $700 per annum. This is in line with a recommendation made by Governor John s. Little in his inau- gural address to the General Assem- ply. The state and county license, which aggregates $500 now, is much higher than is in effect in the greater number of states, but it is regarded as probable that the Van Hook bill will be considered favorably by the General Assembly,
 Passed Appropriation Bill.
 The house today passed the defic- iency bill, appropriating $25,0O0 for 1 the maintenance of the state hospital for nervous diseases during the re- maining two months of the fiscal year. The bill was opposed by sever- al members who declared that the state institutions should not exceed the appropriations made for them The measure passed by a vote of 67 to s.

New Orleans, Feb. 7.-An unduly large and unexpected advance in Liv- erpool gives substance to recent rum- ors that large interests are in the field on the bull of cotton. The rec ognized necessity for another large crop and prospects for an adverse planting season form an attractive background for big capital that works only on general broad lines to make the next move on the long side.

PIER AT LEWES COLLAPSES,
DROPPING CARS INTO BAY

LEWEs, August 1.-The old Queen
Anne Railroad, extending into the Dela-
war bay. collapsed last night. with SER
ious results. 1t had been undergoing
extensive repairs.
Two hundred feet Of the outer section
of the pier was wrecked, while the con-
struction outfit. consisting of two
freight cars piledriver, etc, went into
the bay No one was hurt A large
number of workmen engaged in making
the repairs had just quit work and
gone ashore when the accident happen-
ed. George Jerread. engineer of the
piledriver, was in the debris, but es-
capped injury The loss will reach $4,000
1t is believed the foundations of the
pier were undermined and that the re-
pairing outfit was too heavy for the
supports. The pier will be rebuilt
