And now since the residents of Lin- coin county are urging the extension of the state highway to the state f at Cumins the state will come in for additional benefits The valuable. hold ings of cotton lands, which have been instrumental in providing for many of the departments 1t Little Roc in the way of finances.
 Think of the great good that will result to Little Rock, Pine Bluff and property owners between the two cities and the State Farm. Think of the conveniences and fine highway accommodations that will be provided flor hundreds of planters, who at present find it impossible to get their cotton to the markets without first having to haul it to the railroads; in some instances miles away.
 
 The highway will enable them to bring their cotton to Pine Bluff and Little Rock immediately, without ex. tra cost to themselves. and will en- courage farmers and others to es. tablish truck farms all along tho proposed state highway. Especially attractive and profitable will the truck farms prove if those who con- duct them can get their products to profitable markets. There are many benefits they could be listed from the state highway. If it was only fof advertisement that tho state will F.. ceive from it, that ought to be enough to encourage the legislators to pass the bill without amy oposition, Good roads are essential to prog and without them Arkansas will con. tinue to move forward slowly and continue to lose the benefits its won detsul resources merit in this pro= greseive aga. .-s

FRENCH FISH STORY.
Three Days Carnival of Marpisnon's
 Intrepid Anglers.

Three Days Carnival of Marplsnon's
 Intrepid Anglers.
 Though their lakes and ponds are few and their rivers comparatively destitute of fish, the French people are extremely fond of angling. Indeed. nervous and exeltable as the average Erenchnan may be, he Is content to sit by a stream with a pole and wait all day for bite.
 Ih@H: certain country town not fay fromfHaris there existed 6shing club nameH the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi. gnon. A pretty stream goes through Marpfgnon. but. for many years not one fish had been seen ins,this stream. from which circumstance, 1t followed, the Intrepid Fishers had little to do. says IIarper's Weekly.
 The excitement may be Imagined. therefore. when the word ran through Marpignon that large bafbel-a tough and gamy fish-had been seen in the stream. The Intrepid Fishers turned out and. having qscertained that there was indeed barbel in the stream, immediately stopped the wa ter some little distance above and be. low him with gratings so that he could not get away.
 Then they ranged themselves joy fully along the stream with hook and line. and all went to fishing for the one fish.
 By and by one Intrepid Fisher caught him and immediately threw him back into the water. In the course of time another caught him and dd the same. s,,.,s.t v..s-;rsa
 For three days one veracious ac- count has 1t the Intrepid Fishers kept at work ckbching this one barbel, and at the end Of that time the nsh< dled ef exhaustion and Ioss of blood. Then the Intrepid Fishers counted up tho 1otcAes that they had made on tAeir Ash poles. and the man who had caught the barbel the most times was declared the champion fisherman of 4a1pagnon and received great honors.

HIGHWAYS WOULD MORE THAN ~N, PAY FOR THEMSELVES.

In connection with the bills in the Arkansas legislature looking to the building of highways from Little Rock to Fort Smith. these words by R. H. Edmonds, editor of the Manu-, facturers' Record. are of special in- terest: -s~t~ ;'.s,S. .xit a 1. 1T believe 1t may be said without question that. broadly speAking, tho bguilding of good roads through any eektled districts does not in reality csst the county. state or indiudual . single dollar. ssThis : is duo to-. tho fAck that the construction. of improv- a highways immediately results ins enhancement in the value of all ad- jacent properties by reason. 60 far as ttfe farming districts are concerned, oe thss higher profits which come through reduced. cost in cultivating and shipping all products. A strik- ing illustration of this was recently given when one of the leading c!ti- sens of Delaware made an offer to that state to build a highway through the entire state at cost of $2.0o0.0 600 and not to be reimbursed except through the increased income of the counties and the state from the larg- CT values created by the construction of the road. So confident was he and the whole history of the building of good roads proves the correctness Of his position that there would come enhanced values by reason of greater profits to those living along the line -that he was willing to stake B. o00,Ne0 and thus show his faith by Ais worls."
 whsa the Little Roct-Pine Bluff bill was under discussion in the Sem a4A. the objection was offered that private property should not be en- hsnced at the expense of the state. =
 But when the value of private pro- oerty in the Little Rock-Pine Bluff road district has been greatly en- hanced the state will get more taxes from those enhanced valuations.
 The state will give to th's road dis trict the labor of some convicts only once. The state will get the eddi .ional taxation revenue from increas-

 Je reimbursed only through the increased income of the counties and the state resulting from the greater values created by the highway thus to be built. the state of Arkansas should be wiling to invest the labor of some convicts for the time they may b. needed when the state vii profit, not only through greater valu ations and therefore greater taxation

THE FUTURE OF EGYPT.
(WashingtOn Herald.)

The appointment of Lord Kitchener
as British agent in Egypt has aroused
considerable interest as to the future
Of that country under his rule. "KltCh-
ener," says the Cleveland Plain Deal
or, as an able and successful soldier,
Cool.headed and Cold.blooded, but one
Of the worst possible men for a post
Of importance where tact and delft
diplomacy are required"
There is no doubt that the Egyp.
tIans lost a sincere friend in the death
Of Sir Eldon GorSt. He stood for hu-
manlty, consideration and decency in
the treatment OF Egypt. He regarded
Its people not as sayages, but as men
and women Of ability and native clIVi-
llzatlon, and it was his EFFORT to de-
yelop in them a racial pride. His
course did not, II Is true, please the
lmperialistic English or the strenuous
Roosevelt, but, nevertheless, he was
doing his duty in wise manner when
he was called by death.
And now the naughty and imperlous
Kitchener is to take his place, It
means that the future Of Egypt has
become problem and that England
Is likely to have serious trouble upon
lis hands.

eARRAR!sM IN MARRIAGE.
(Kansas City -Journal.

1 %
There seems To be no end to the mar
ration OF the barbarics OF marriage as
revealed in the police court chronicles
Of the day. This immediate vicinity
is furnishing its full share Of these
deplorable stories. Yesterdays pa
pers, for instance, told of a child wife
of IL years, married to a man s. years
of age, incidentally becoming step
mother to 10 children, half of whom
are older than she. Those interest
ed in the India mission often have
shuddered BIT stories which did not re-
veal more barbarism than is involved
in this case, II the allegations made
by the pltiable little girl-wife are even
substantially true. That such crimes
can be committed, in the second dec
ade of the twentieth century and in
the United States, by parents, magis-
trates and others in authority seem
incredible and the law is grossly in
adequate If somebody is not severely
punished for robbing this child Of her
childhood in such a barbarous fash
ion. A father who would give his
daughter of 12 years to a man five and
a half times her age, man Of this
age who would marry a child Of such
tender years, and a magistrate who
would perform the ceremony-surely
all these come within the province of
the law governing common decency
and good public policy. If this case
arouses indignation, however, what
must be said Of husband who beats
his wife until, goaded to desperation,
the muddy waters of the river offer
the only refuge from an intolerable
condition? A woman was rescued
from committing suicide the other day
as she was about to take the fatal
leap, with her little children cllnging
to her skirts. Her sole reason for the
mad step was that her husband beat
her until she could bear it no longer.
