Insurance legislation is taking a
turn not SO satisfactory to the fire
companies as was promised by COM
mittee action earlier Both the Senate
and the House committees have re-
ported the State insurance bill'' for
passage, and it will doubtless be pass
ed if it is reached before adjournment,
says the Nashville American.
The bill apprnpriates s250,O00 as a
nucleus fund but provides that the
credit Of the State is to be held free
from any charge Policies are to be
come effective when $500, 900 in prem
ilms have been paid into the Insur-
ance Department.
County Court Clerks are authorized
to receive applications for insurance
and upon risks being favorably acted
upon to transmit the policy from the
Insurance Department to the insured
More than one reason is urged by
the bill will not pass. That the ap-
preparation is too large is the most
potent, but there are reasons Of var
led foundation upon which its oppon-
ents base their hopes for its defeat.
Notwithstanding the defeat of the
bills proposing to repeal the act pro-
hibiting the use of the "three-quar-
ter" reinsurance" and iron safe"
clauses the insurance companies are
not prepared to retire from business, |
and will fight to retain whatever (
ground they hold.
Improvement in rates was to be a

Of such laws as in the opinion OF in
men would justify the COM
panies in making concessions, and
since the most of these laws have
been rejected or unfavorably acted
upon the friends Of the State bill"
think that It must be enacted to save
the situation.
A decrease Of rates was rumored
several weeks ago, but it never mater
laIized.

Will Bring Three Millions.

John P. Logan of Grannis, secretary of the Arkansas State Horticultural Society does not share the pessimism expressed in some quarters regarding the fruit outlook for the year in Arkan- sas. He says that while the cold weather and frosts have damaged the crop in some sections, Arkansas will still have fruit to ship by the train load to Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Northern states where the crop will be next to a total failure. MT Logan is confident that with the advance in price which will follow short crops in other states Arkansas fruit will bring growers s3,0o0,000 this year

Costliest Ever Held.

The Thirtysixth session Of the Gen. eral Assembly of the state of Arkan. sas was the longest in duration and the costliest in the history of the state. The session lasted one hun dred and twenty days, as against the one hundred and fourteen days of the session of 1905. which, up to that time, was the longest ever held. De- spite it's great length, the present ses- sion Of the legislature will not have as many acts to it's credit on the statute books as preceding sessions, but, on the other hand, it will have the reputation of being the assembly that passed the greatest number of import. ant acts. The session just passed has also the distinction of having had four governors of the state in the four months that it was in session. When the assembly convened the second week in January, Jeff Davis was the executive of the state. The second day of the legislature marked the Inauguration of John s. Little, who, in turn was succeeded by the president of the Senate, John Ike Moore. The last executive was the lieutenant governor elected by the upper house, x. O. Pindall.

TO FURNISH SEED
THE INTERSTATE coTToNsEED CRuSHERS' CONVENTION DE-
 CiDES TO AID PLANTERS.

Norfolk May-The Interstate Cot
 tonseed Crushers' Convention met l Tuesday in eleventh annual session | at the Jamestown exposition with 800 delegates in attendance. Two hundred
 more delegates are expected by We'd | nesday. The convention was called to order by J. w. Allison, vice chairman Of the Committee on Arrangements. In the absence of President H. St. George Tucker, Barton Myers, gover-
 nor of ways and means of the James town exposition, delivered the address of welcome. Governor Myers in his address attributed failure to have the exposition exhibits fully installed to congested freight conditions. l.. A. Ranson of Atlanta, Ga, vice president
 Of the association, responded to the ad
 dress of welcome, after which the con-
 vention was opened for business by
 President F. H. Bailey of Paris, Tex,
 who delivered his annual address.
 This was followed by the annual re- port of Robert Gibson of Dallas, Tex, secretary and treasurer.
 Consideration of the report of the Committee on Rules was then taken up. The annual election of officers will precede the final adjournment of the association on Friday. Much time will be devoted to the discus sion of questions affecting the cotton seed interests. The commercial ex- changes of Birmingham, New Orleans, Savannah and New York and other ci. ties have sent special delegates to the meeting. Vce President Ransom of Atlanta is exected to succeed Presi- dent Bailey at the annual election Friday.
 The association adopted resolution symathiZing with the cotton growers of the South whose crops face ruin on account of the weather conditions, and offer support wherever practicable by furnishing seed for replanting the crops. The passage of the resolution followed a speech by Col. Joseph Ali son, who represents Texas at the con- vention. Col. Allison said that this years cotton crop is threatened with destruction because the mild winter failed to harm the boil weevil, and that the pest is ready to attack the budding crop. As a result, he said, many planters are being compelled to replant, and he urged the conven- tion to assist them by offering seed for this purpose.

Europe sometimes overwhelms her American child with blessings. One weeks shower of English periodicals contains the declarations that the American army is the most intelligent, highly trained and best equipped in the world, and that the American woman is better read and more cul. tivated than the English woman of corresponding class. These things are pleasant to read, but it will be well to offset them with the warning of a German critic who has lived among us, that the prevailing culture of our men is very low. that we leave the high and fine things of life too much to our women

The editor of the Museum Gazette of London has made an attempt to estimate the length of time man has inhabited Great Britain. He allows 250,00O years. The period seems long, but the tendency of late has been to extend it, so that the historic period of some 2,O00 years in Britain is small fraction of mans existence here. as the whole human epoch is a small fraction of the worlds history.
