Editor of the Banner:-Seyeral
weeks ago the Bennington Board Of
Health took action under the new law
to promote the production and sale OF
milk and cream; the substance of
which. with comments, was published
in the Evening Banner Under the
tentative understanding sixteen appli-
cations have been received from the
larger dealers of the town and record
ed awaiting further adyices from the
State Board of Health. This Act to
provide for the inspection OF milk,
was approved January 9, 1909, and the
documents were only received March

The nasal mucous membrane is one OK
the most important mucous surfaces Of
the body, since the nerves of smell are
distributed to it, and the slightest inn
pairment of it leads at once to partial
or complete loss of smell.
Catarrh is the most frequent source Of

cations exist. But of course it takes
more time to cure cases of long stand
ing, especially in the atrophic stage.

SENATE LIKES BASEBALL
Appropriation Bill Laid Aside While Sen
ators Attend Game.

Little Rock, March 3I.-Again
yesterday the senate succumbed
to the allurements of baseball and
members of that body shortly be-
fore O'Clock went to the game
between the New York Giants and
Little Rock in special car. They
spent the entire afternoon in dis
cussing motions to adjourn and the
Warnock bill to exempt cotton fac
tories of the state from taxation.
The general appropriation bill was
brought up just before adjournment,
the taxation matter going over un-
til Friday.
The house defeated the Martin
bill which would give the school
boards of cities the right of eminent
domain, allowing them to condemn
property for school purposes. The
house also passed the bill making
it a prison offense to infringe on
the union label. The bill to annex
adjacent property to Arkadelphia
was indefinitely postponed.
The Bush bill appropriating 5000
from department of ed ucation fees
for professional ice nse examina-
tions, was passed.

COUNTY GINNING
EXCEEDS 10000

While the total number of bales
of cotton ginned in Faulkner county
during the season just ended was
the largest in the history of the
county, it exceeded the number
ginned two years before by only
small figure. The census figures
show that 20, ,35I bales were GIN
ned in this county from the crop of
1908, compared with $3.50 last
year and 10, 900 two years ago, the
1908 crop thus exceeding that of
1906 by only 39I bales. The num-
Der of bales ginned in Faulkner
county for previous years was as
follows: Crop of 1905, I4,797 bales;
crop of 1904, I6,496 bales; crop OF
1908, 1888 bales.
The receipts at Conway this sea-
son have exceeded the ginning OF
the county by much larger pro-
portion than in any previous year,
showing that a greater per cent
of cotton from adjoining counties
has been marketed here.
Fer the past five years the Con-
way receipts have exceeded the
Faulkner county ginning by 1000
to 500 bales, while this year the
excess will be over $500 bales.

URGED TO ACT

Little Rock, March 3o.-Special,
The fight between the minority
and majority of the Arkansas peni-
tentiary board is now on in earn
est. Two hours the board
wrangled yesterday and ended by
the majority voting to lease to w.
II. Reeves, a railroad contractor,
200 or more convicts for a year at
S. per day, the state to guard and
feed the prisoners while at work.
The attorney general was directed
to draw up the lease, making it eff
fective April 10, unless the Arkan-
sas legislature takes contrary steps
in the meantime. Governor Geo.
w. Donaghey gave notice in the
meeting that he would take every
step possible as governor to see that
the convicts are never hired out
to anyone. He has already started
the machinery to moving to pre-
vent it. He will appeal to the leg
islature to act at once and pass such
law as was recommended in his
inaugural address for the working
of the convicts on the farm and on
the roads. Gov. Donaghey offers
to guarantee that his plan will be
a success and says if the convicts
are turned over to him he will make
them selt-sustaining, give the state
good roads and turn surplus in
to the state each year.

SENATE WELCOMES WILLIAMS
New Member is Given Cordial
Reception.
House Passes Bank Guaranty Law-Uni-
versity of Arkansas Appropriation
Bill Referred.

Little Rock, March 3o.-Special
The senate yesterday afternoon
spent most of the time in making
speeches on the reception of Hamp
Williams, the newly elected mem
Der from the Thirty-frst district,
into their midst, and of regret OF
the parting with J. L. Wadley,
who served during the time which
elapsed between the unseating of
Judge o. H. Sumpter and the elec-
tion of Hamp Williams.
The Arnold game law was
amended so that it will be unlawful
to sell fish or game in the state
which has not been raised in cap
tivity. The Edmonson medical
board bill was killed, II to 7. The
liquor law resolutions and bills
were referred to the constitutional
committee.
Almost unanimously, 90 to 10,
the house passed the bank. guaran-
ty law proposed by Warnock and
Seamster. This act is much differ
ent from the Oklahoma law, in
that no actual guaranty fund is
created, but each bank is annually
charged one-half of one per cent on
its deposits, and should there be a
bank failure and anything needed
to repay the depositors, this is
drawn upon. Each bank is as
sessed SIS annually and seventy
FIVE cents a thousand on its capital
stock, to raise the salary and ex-
penses of the bank examiner, who
is to make regular inspections of
the banks. 1t is figured that this
will raise about SI2,5o annually.
Under the law the banks must pay
in their capital and leave it in the
bank as an investment at all times,
not having it hypothecated. The
stockholders are responsible for
their proportion of the loss in fail
ure as to the stock they hold in the
institution.
The University of Arkansas ap-
preparation bill, after nearly half
day of discussion. was finally sent
to the ways and means committee.
