BLUFF CITY WON
 IN COURT AGAIN
Justice Battle Aiiirms Decision or Grant Chanccry Court in Case or Collins ,S. Bluff City Lumber Com- pan!

1 The following opinion was handed down yesterday by Justice Battle Tn the Supreme Court at Little Rock:
 On the 10th of December, 1896, the Bluff City Lumber Company conveyed certain land in Grant county to Mag gie C. Campbell, retaining the prlvl- lege of cutting and removing the tim. Der thereform at any time within ten years from that date. Collins subse- quently became the owner of the lands and in September 1906, three months before the title of the lumber company to the timber expired, sought to inter- fere with the cutting and removing of the timber by the servants of the con- pany, and suit was brought in Grant chancery court to restrain Collins from so interfering. The chancellor found, ill short, that the lumber con- pany had retained title to the timber on the lands in question and had duly recorded the deeds to said timber in the recorders office of that county be- fore the purchase of the lands by Collins that this constituted knowl- edge to him of the title of the compa- ny to the timber thereon; that the company's title did not expire until December 15, 1906; that it was, there fore, entitled to a restraining order so that it might continue cutting and removing it's timber until it's title eX pired Collins had appealed to this court, contending that he had held ad verse possession of the lands in ques tion and the timber growing thereon. The chancellor found, and he is sus- tained by the evidence, that the pos session of Collins was not adverse to the company's title and right to the timber. Long before he acquired any title or claim to the land, the deeds vestng the title to the timber in the company had been properly filed and recorded, and were notice of it's right thereto Collins possession of the land was not adverse to the title of the company in the timber for a suffi- cient time to divest the company of it's title therein. The decree is af firmed.

The problem of the hungry
man is not the problem of one
people, nor of one era, writes Ed.
win Markham in the Decem ber
Circle Magazine; it is the problem
Of all peoples and all eras. And,
after thousands OF years, he is
still peerlng hungrily through
the windows of civilization. Let
us go out into the windy night
and look him over. Let US in
spect his hands, to see If he has
been an ldler. No, not an idler--
for those hands are knotted with
labor; and those shoulders are
sunken and crooked with the
bearing of many burdens. These
are the badges that he bears from
the battle; they show that he
tried in some ways TO meet life
like a man.
What shall | do? Send him to
the charities? No, that remedy
has been tried all these long, sor-
rowful centuries. On all the
streets and roads of the world
we have been throwing him an
occasional crumb, and still he Is
with us lean and hungry as ever.
The fact that charity has been
tried all these ages without less
enlng the disease proves that
charity IS pltiful failure.
Nothing is worth while unless
1t unltes men, and nothing unites
them but justice, affectionate jus.
tice. But justice requires that
every man should have the op
portunity to earn a living by
labor. Therefore, the thing to
do for this man is to find him
work, work at living wages. If
there is no work for him under
our system of private enterprise
If the crush and rush of com
petition has crowded this man
out of his right to live by labor.
then 1t Is the duty of society to
provide him with that work. He
must have bread labor, for socle
ty bas forbidden him to beg, for
hidden him to steal.

to receive so many cents for each
mile he travelad. Upon one Of

the steep grades. Suddenly the
conductor saw his Irish compan-

"Don't jump! You'll be killed %

I'd be after jumpin' when I'm
making money as fast as I am
