SOUGHT FOR POT OF GOLD.

Mir. A. F. Beasley, cashier of the Bodcaw Bank at Stamps passed through the city this morning en route home from Houston, Texas, where he went a few days ago to look for pot of gold said to be buried in that vicinity. The search was fruit less however.
 About two years ago negro wearing a long black coat and a tall hat appeared at Stamps and gave out the information that he was state organizer for a well-known negro secret organ iZation He was a shrewd darky and few weeks after landing at Stamps he managed to get the Bodcaw Bank to cash a check for him for a large sum-4several hundred dollars. Mr. Beasley was not cashier at that time howev- CT. The negro. after securing the money at once disappeared and was not heard of again until a few months ago when he was ar rested at Houston and brought back to Stamps.

when requested to do SO by the proprietor of any nursery, visit the latter and issue a certificate of inspection if he finds the stock to be free from insects or con- tag;Ous d.seIases This inspection however is entirely optional with the nurserymen. If they traneact business in other states, they
 find it necessary on account of the laws of those states to have a certificate of inspection from the entomologist of this state. but if they have only local trade within the state they are not required to have any inspec- tion made.
 An infested orchard $ just as dangerous to it's own neigh borhood at least as an infested nursery" MT Adams declares. "A great many states now have workable laws which govern com mercial orchards as well as nur- series, and they give the entomo- iOBlSl pOWtI dllSl dul uluOIlty lC inspect any premises if at any time he has cause to believe the San Jose scale or any other in furious insect or fungus disease might be found. If such be found therein the entomologist has pow CT to compel the owner to insti- tute proper preventatives and re- medies as the case might require Upon failure to comply with the directions of the entomologist the owner suffers the penalty of the law. Arkansas is sorely in
 need of such a law and not only the fruit growers and farmers, but everyone should make an ef- fort to have such an act passed by our legislature. The principle involved is precisely the same as in any inspection or quarantine law. Whenever the health of the citizens of any community is con- cerned the law quarantines the case of smallpox. Whenever the orchards of the same community are in danger the law should pro- tect them.-Little Rock Gazette

WANTS A NUR:
 SERY INSPECTION
(. F. Adams, of Experiment Station, Ad.
 vOCates Protection of Fruit Trees.

The need for more adequate laws providing for the inspection of nurseries and orchards in Ar kansas is strongly emphasized by c. F. Adams entomologist and acting director of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment. Station This is regarded as of the ut most importance, in view of the extent of the fruit growing il- dustry in Arkansas and the ra- pidity with which certain pests such as San Jose scale are spreading in this state.
 The only inspection law now in force is one which was passed by the General Assembly in 1903. This law furnishes protection a. gainst the shipment of infested stock into this state, but it gives little or no protection against nurseries within the state. The law provides that when any nur- sery stock is shipped into the state it must be accompanied by certificate showing that it has been inspected by a state or ex- pertinent station entomologist of the state from which the ship ment is made showing that the stock is free from the San Jose scale or other injurious insects or diseases, and the transporta- tion company is prohibited, un- der heavy penalty, from deliv- ering a consignment to the con signee unless it is accompanied by such a certificate.
 As far as local nurseries are concerned, however they can do business within the state with out inspection as long as they desire. The law makes the en- tomologist of the experiment sta tion at Fayetteville state inspec- tor and provides that he shall,

He told that it was buried only a short distance from his fathers home and he furnished a diagram by which he said the spot might be loca ted.
 Mir. Beasley left at once for Houston and although he found a place answering a description of that given by the prisoner as the spot where the treasure was hidden he failed to find the pot or the coin The ground has recently been disturbed in the vicinity and it is conjectured that possibly some other party got tip in some mysterious manner and removed the money prior to the arrival of Mr. Beas- ley .-Texarkanian.

A NEW DIA-
 MOND DISCOVERED
Picked Up by a Lab0rer on the M. P. S C. Railroad in Cut in Pike
 County.

A few days since laborer found a diamond in a cut on the Memphis, Paris & Gulf road which is being excavated by Con- tractor Dennison at depth of twenty feet from the surface. This cut is south of the river, and four miles from what is re- cognized as the diamond field and the discovery of the stone shows that the area of the dia- mond bearing rock is very exten- sive much larger in fact than that of any other field.
 Experts have visited the cut, and are now watching it close ly. Among those who have inves- tigated the cut are two govern ment geologists and other men eminent in the profession, and while they have given out no statements, they appear to be very much interested in this new development in the diamond sit uation.
 It is understood that efforts have been made to secure prop erty adjacent to the cut where this latest find was made, but the owner refused 70 sell.-Nash- vile News.

HUXTABLE AS
LABOR FRIEND

A communication from Nick
Miles, who says he is the clerk of
the senate COMMITTEES on labor at
Olympia, takes exception to a re-
cent article in The Press on Sen
ator Jesse Huxtable's attitude on
the fight for labor commissioner.
Miles says Huxtable Ifs in utmost
sympathy with labor and the labor
ing mans cause at all times" He
thinks knockers" as he calls
them, ought to leave Huxtable
alone for the reason that he has
given his life to the field Of labor
and been advanced by his fellows
to the position of state senator. l
think he is consistently giving ev-
eryone square deal to the best of
Instability"
4 At meeting of the Lidgerwood
Improvement club last night one Of
Senator Huxtable's constituents
who disliked his attitude on the
temperance question, regretted
very much that the people did not
possess recall so that it might be
invoked against him.

Il am in favor of going still

This was the statement made by
J. T. O'Brien, city commissioner, in
speaking of the resolution intro
duced by him excluding all aliens
from the city jobs. He takes the
position that the floaters who come
into the city are little better than
the aliens who have not the right
to vote.
These fellows who come in here
for a month or two should not be
given work when there are voters
here in the city who are capable
and who are without work. The
move to exclude aliens on city jobs
is one in which l have been inter.
ested for six months, and had
thought l could have made it more
stringent yesterday by limiting the
men to voters l would have done
so at that time"
