 Jamestown has made another appeal to t,,tn. tod in IT, centennial Exposition and have display oi the resources of the state at that big exhi, bition. Saturday Speaker llamlter ana Mr DuI.aney of Little River each received messages from C. Brooks Johnson. chair man of the Board of Governors as follows ::
 q wish to again impress upon the leglS, ycu that there Is sufficient time for the installation of an exhibit at our exposl- tion and we are holding in reserve spacs, pc', for Arkansas. We would be disappointed If you did not participate in this exposi, ton. and hope the House will be impressed with the opportunity and with our con
 Members of the House will insist that the bill be taken up during the coming week and disposed of. The appropriation now asked for is but Sl3.000 and there seems to be doubt if even that sum will De ap propriated but both friends and foes or the exhibit are a unit on disposing of the mai ter Further delay would mean thar II the exhibit is arranged for, the work of establishing it would be very hurried
 The bill introduced in the Senate Thurs day by Senator Rector. chairman or the Senate Committee on Public Charities Tor the committed, for the support and main tenance of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, increases the appropriatioa 1nt 'Tr.inert appropriation IS round nun bers .sinourtdeds to s331 900. TAe appro, pending bin are S35O.000. The principal changes made are the increase in the salary of the superintendent. slight increase in the salaries of the attendants. and appropriations for certain improve ments. The salary of the superintendent is increased from S2,00o q year to sI.- 250: the average salary Of the II male attendants is fixed at s23.S0 l-;t, and the average salary of the 31 female attend, ants at S..2 per month.

 Cotton men over the State are much interested in the outcome of the Moore lIeartsiil Antifuturcs Bill, recently pass, cd Bs tie Legislature, and frequent re quests are made to know when the Gov ernor will sign the bill so that ii may become law. Acting Governor Moore yet been presented to him. Until the bill Is engrossed and properly recorded Tn the House from whence IL emanated, the bill will not be presented to the Cover nor for his signature and will mol become a law There seem to be no doubt thai the Governor will approve the bill for he announced to the Senate on taking his seat as acting Governor Of the state that he would unless some good and sufficient cause arose why he should not, sign every bill passed by the Legislature
 The bill prohibits dealing in futures ana one prominent cotton firm in Little Rock has already announced that it will close it's business and perhaps move to another State when the bill becomes a law.
 The defeat of Senator Moor's bill ap propriating $64OO for continuance or the work of the Arkansas Historical Commls- sion by the Senate on Thursday Is disap pointing to those whc favored the meas iirc. and there is some talk of the Intro ductlon of another bill that will accom- pIish the purpose. The bill received . ma iurity of the votes of those voting on the measure but was defeated on account of the ruling of the presiding officer, who held that it required a two-thlrds vote for its passage on account of its carrying an appropriation The coraention is that the ruling Is wrong. as the appropriation was made for carrying out the provisions of an existing statute which was enacted two wears ago This act created the com mission and appropriated S25O to aid il made to put q similar measure through the Legislature which will answer the pur- pose and will not conflict with the ruling | that sent the original measure to its de feat.
