Amman & Hoisington opened
their meat market in the old Simp-

bear an excellent reputation in La-

treat them right.
The shipments of cantaloupes from
the valley last Saturday amounted to
exactly so cars, over 20 of which
came from the district along this end
of the Holly & Swink railway. The
fruit crop being poor this year makes
heavy demand for this luscious
fruit from the Arkansas valley and
the prices are holding steady.

Alber. Travis Violates His oon.rac,

Despite of the fact that Albert NJ.
Travis contracted with the canta-
loupe growers at this point to sd-
vance so cents on every crate OF
melons delivered to his platform in
Granada during this season. Mr..
Peterson, their agent at this place,
was wired Tuesday not to ship any
more nelson's, as they were arriving
in bad order.
Mr.. Peterson left some time the
next night, driving to Holly and
taking the train from that point, ,leav-
ing large number of cantaloupe
receipts unsettled for.
We don't know just what recourse
the growers will have, but it Is
thought that they will be able to
collect damages. 1t is not likely
that the Travis people will secure
many contracts herssbouts another
year.
The melon growers who contract
ed their melons with Travis will now
try to market the remainder of their
crops through the association and
are already shipping, the great draw
back being that they sIe out OF
crates at present.-Granads Times.

One afternoon the clever attache

'"On the. contrary, should be de-

taking a card, he wrote thereupon the

M'LAURIN FOR ROOSEVELT.
Will Support the President if He is a
Candidate-Thinks he is Greatest
Man that Has Ever Pre-
sided Over any
Nation.
The State.

The State.
Washingt on, March 15.-The Hon.
John l.. McLaurin, onc-time senator
from South Carolina, was at the
White House today to shake hands
with President Roosevelt. He says
7. r. is the greatest president who
has ever presided over the destinies
of this or any other nation or ever
came down the pike. He wants the
people to rise up and give him 4
third term with whoop and yell.
He made the following remarks to
this effect while sitting in the lobby
Of the hotel:
"The people Of the United States
ought,to disregard all party lines and
nominate President Roosevelt for a
third term. i for one intend to sup
port him if he is a candidate for the
presidency next year.'
The former senator doesn't think
there is much chance, though. In the
first place, he says the suggestion is
lVo "lSc d ollc cNcI W bS ttuNptSt Wy
the Democratic party" You see he
doesn't think much of the Democratic
party His suggestion is too wise for
it. But there is something else i'll the
way. "In my opinion," continue
ed the former senator, "PrcSidcnt
Roosevelt is the greatest man who
has ever occupied the White House.
He was honest and sincere when he
issued the statement on election night
in 1901 that he would never accept a
denomination for the presidency, and
I fear that he will be too honest to
disregard this pledge to the people. -
Think Of that Here is nam who is
actually too honest. But, Mr.. Me-
Laurin continued, "'The nation
should. however, disregard his wishes
and give him Il unanimous rcnomina-
tiom and reelection. The work which
he has begun Of regulating the rail
roads and corporations and the build
in" of the Panama canal can not be
completed during the present admin
istration and there Is not another
man in the country who can carry the
work en- as the president has and is
now doing"
And that is not all. The ex-senator
closed with this remark: "Tt seems to
me that God Almighty created the
man for the great work he is doing
for the country.'
No wonder as Mr.. McLaurin passed
through Washington on his way from
New York to Benncttsville he stop
ped to 90 up to the White House and
shake the Great mans hand.

Italy's Dwindling Population.


Some strikingly curious population
statistics are now being published in
Rome. Some years ago The Italian
population was one Of the most proli-
fic in Europe, and in one period of
twenty years increased from 2S,000,-
600 to 33.0OO,OOO. Now the tendency
is strongly in the opposite direction,
while, at the same time, emigration,
which now reaches 4 million souls a
year, is leaving whole rural districts
dcpopulated. The natural increase
had declined from 7.3S per thousand
in 1901 to 81 in 1906. Tn the flour
ishing industrial districts there is
some progressive increase, but in the
rural provinces, like Labuan, Apulia,
Sicily and the Campagna, it dwindles
down as low as IL per thousand.
