 Over Senator's Witnesses.

Little Rock, April |. The trial ot former Sen nitor A. ". Coving ton upon the charge oi perjury iu connection with the legislative boodling cases opened today.
 Saturday Covington's attorneys summoned all the hold-over mem bers of the state sena as wit nesses in the case. This action lead to the belief that the Case would be postponed as members oi the legislature cannot be com pelIed 70 answer a summons as court witnesses.
 Judge Lea. who is the trial judge in the Covingtou case. sent a note to the senate asking for a statement regar liug the matter and tue senate voted unanimous ly 10 allow all needed members of that body leave of absence to attend the trial.
 It was rather expected that this would result iu the senate not having a quorum today bu' while many members are absent the senate secured quorum and is proceeding with business.

MARVELLOUS GROWTH
OF FARMERS UNION
ONE MILLION PROGRESSIVE FAR
MERs ARE NOW ENROLLED AS
MEMBERS.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 22.-One million
progressive farmers throughout the
South and West are represented at a
grand rally begun in Atlanta today by
the national directors, organizers.
State presidents and other leaders Of
the Farmers Educational and Cooper
alive Union. President c. S. Barrett
called the gathering to order this
morning in the assembly chamber of
the State capitol The general pur-
pose of the meeting. as set forth in
the official call. is to discuss matters
affecting the welfare Of the organiza-
ton and to outline in a general way
the plan Of action for the coming year.
The reports of the several officers
show that the last year was one of
the most successful in the history of
the organization. The figures contain
ed in these reports show that the
growth of the Farmers Union in mem
bership and influence has been moth
ing less than marvellous.
Less than five years ago the asso-
citation was organized in Texas. It
had but handful of members in the
beginning. Today it has a member
ship in the neighborhood of 10000
covering every Southern State and
spreading into Iowa, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Oregon, California. Illinois and
other States of the North and West.
Its members declare that it has al
Il, ady accomplished what no other or
ganization has ever been able to do
that is, Il has the cotton situation of
the United States well in hand and
under the most thorough control 1t
is generally conceded that to the as
sOciation's stand for 11-cent cotton is
due more than anything else the fact
that up to this time the average sell
ing price of cotton has been far in ex-
cess of 10 cents. The efforts to con-
troll Ire cotton crop formed but l be-
ginning OF the great campaign contem-
plated by the Farmers Union. It is
believed that within a brief period it
will be able to thoroughly control the
marketing of all agricultural products
and largely eliminate the middleman
from the situation, enabling the far
mer instead of the Spectator to step
i'm and control the markets.

THE NATIONAL LIVE
STOCK ASSOCIATION
is HOLDING ITS TENTH ANNUAL
CONVENTION IN DENVER, COLO.
LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Denver. Colo. Jan. 22.-The tenth
annual convention of the National Live
Stock association, which began in this
city today, is the largest in point of
attendance ever held by the associa-
ton. Leading stock men from Texas,
Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming. Colo
RADIO, the Dakotas, Nebraska and nu-
merous other States filled the Broad
way theater this morning when the
gathering was called to order by Pres
ident Murdo Mackenzie.
After the usual welcoming addresses
had been made and responded TO and
the convention formally organized.
Secretary T. w. Tomlinson read the
official call for the gathering, which
was in part as follows:
THE executive committee and Off
GERS of this association congratulate
the members on the results achieved
during 1906, especially in the passage
of the railway rate bill, comforting on
the interstate commerce commission
adequate power over rates, and also
in the amendment to the Federal stat
utes extending the time limit in which
live stock can be held on cars in
transit from twenty-eight TO thirty-six
hours. Our association is now recog
nized as a great power in live stock
matters, and it has attained that posi-
ton through a policy of conservatism
and fairness"
The present convention will remain
in session over tomorrow, and it is
possible the proceedings may run over
a third day as more than the ordinary
number of important matters are to
be brought up for discussion and ac-
ton.
Some of the principal subjects to re-
ceive attention are the cost of meat
inspection, sanitation, better service
from stock yards companies, the suits
now pending before the interstate
commerce commission relative to GER
tain live stock rates, and the extern
sion of the European market for Amer
lean live stock products.
The existing shortage Of cars has
hit the stockmen hard in certain sec
tons of the country, and they are
anxious that legal provision be made
requiring the railroad companies to
maintain their equipments and rolling
stock so that car famine will become
impossible.
Forest reserves is another subject
that will receive more or less attention
from the association. Clifford Pinchot.
chief of the bureau of forestry, is here
to confer with the live stock men and
to listen TO any complaints about the
administration of the forest reserves
The cattlemen have some grievances
left over, but they are fewer and OF
less serious nature than might have
been expected. A plan to divide the
available public lands into districts
and allot them for grazing purposes is
being discussed among the delegates.

Railroads Resist Commission.

Special to the Herald
Austin, Texas, Jan. 22.-The propos.
ed order of the Texas Railroad Com
mission requiring the Santa Fe, the
Southern Pacific. the International &
Great Northern and the Missouri, Kan
sas G. Texas railroad companies to
build joint causeway across Calves
ton bay. to connect the mainland with
Galveston island. came up for formal
consideration before the commission
today.
The railroads make no secret of the
fact that they are vigorously opposed
to the project and will fight it to fin
ish in the courts If necessary. The
roads deny the authority of the state
commission to issue such an order as
the Federal government has control
over the waterways of the state. The
railroads also allege that the present
congested condition of traffic in Gal
weston is not due to any lack of track
Facilities for crossing Galveston bay.
II the proposal of the state commits
sion is enforced il will involve an ex-
penditure by the railroad companies
concerned of about $5.OJJ.OOO to con-
struct the causeway.

VALUE OF SMALL CoURTESIES.

The keynote to successful home life
undoubtedly lies in the exchange Of
small courtesies and kindresses. In
fact, ii the workings of the household
are to run smoothly, little attentions
must be shown between husband and
wife.
Unimportant as it may seem, the
breakfast hour is very decisive time
of day, and wife should respect it
as such by not bringing up household
or social cares. These should always
be discussed after and not before the
days work, which occupies a mans
best thoughts during early morning
hours. Sorrows and petty grievances
have to be laid aside as the new day
breaks, and cheerfulness must be the
watchword at the breakfast table,
Another little attention which
counts much in magink a man appre-
ciate his home is to be always at mis-
command when he has unusual: duties
to perform. If there is a special piece
of business that has to be attended to
early in the morning, wife should be
up herself, too, and make sure that his
breakfast is served hot and appetite
ingly.
But the wife should not be alone
in paying little attentions of this sort.
The husband has quite as large a
share to contribute on his side. In
fact, little attentions are even more
indispensable to a woman than to
man. A most essential thoughtfulness
is an occasional bit of finery brought
home unexpectedly to her ur falling
this, man should make sure that his
wife has her recreations as often as
he does his.
Then, also, a man should discuss
household expenses with his wick at
least once a week, not forgetting her
personal spendings. Much unneces-
sary debt could be avoided by fami-
lies if expenditures Of the household
were discussed as often ard as care
fully as are the finances in i business
concern, and it is a mans place to see
that expenses are kept within his in
come.
Many women, in being obliged. to do
1t alone, have to sacrifice some Of their
house allowance, when some slight
advice or suggestion would save them
endless worry and anxiety.
