A property owner in a little town
not far away repaired a rather dilapi
dated store cornice the other day and
in so doing destroyed the nests, eggs
and some young of a number of pairs
of purple martins. The cornice need
ed fixing, no doubt. but in SO doing
the nests of some of the most useful
birds known to man were broken up
1t would have been better all around
if the job could have been postponed
until the young birds had left the
nests. ..z,.,,,.a -. >.sg3>

if they mean to wear them.
For here's one straight tip. Next
Monday afternoon in city council Al
derman ]. 3. Everett is going to in
toduce a resolution drawn up in the
form Of an ordinance making it I'M
lawful for e woman to wear hrem

Now, what do you know about
that?
Nin't he the busy old thing?
Read what hes got written out, all
ready to stand up and say: "Mister
Chairman, i have a resolution I'd like

Here it is:
Whereas, The latest creation Of the
ingenious fashion modistes Of Pals is
article of wearing apparel for VIC
ment tht has, for want Of a better
word has been termed the "harem
skirt" and
Whereas, This garment is modelled
OF lines entirely at variance with our
traditional and time-honored ideas If

more resemblance to pair Of mans
trousers than TO the graceful and

Whereas, The appearance Of this
new garment on the streets Of various
cities both in America and on the con-
tinent, has, when worn by women,
created sensations and excitement Of
more or less serious nature, the men
locking from all directions, and
Whereas, The city Of Atlanta has
enjoyed, and, indeed, deserved the
reputation of being town where the
delicate sensibilities of the women on
her streets are never offedned, and
Whereas, One of the "harem'

Therefore, Be it, and it is hereby
ordained. That from and after the
passage of this resolution it shall be
unlawful for any woman to wear

public park or square, or in any
building or edifce where curious
crowds are apt to be attracted thereby
any "harem" skirt
Be it further ordained, That The
provisions of this resolution shall not
apply to the wearing of divided riding

To Renulate Hotel Rates.

A double-header measure, intro duced in the senate by Senator Ton ey and in the house by MT Thweatt, seeks to regulate hotel rates by pro- yiding that no hotel in the state may charge more than double the price for one person on a single room. h. asmuch as the hotels of Little Rock are arranging to place cots in their rooms for the accommodation of an extra number of guests during the reunion, the measure has aroused much interest The bill in the sen ate was postponed for two weeks on the motion of the author, but strong effort was made to get the house bill through. MT. Thweatt thought the bill good one, in that it would pro tect the public against extortion by the hotels in the future. MT. Jones of Pulaski declared that the enactment of such a law now would work q great hardship on the public during the reunion, as under such condi- tions no hotel would room the extra number of guests now contemplated, as they would be prohibited from col lecting pay for same MT. Neale characterized the measure as class legislation pure and simple, and the bill went over to some future time for final consideration.

Niqht Session in the House.

The members of the house have their working clothes on now, night and day. From 7:3O to 10 p. m. much business is despatched, clearing the way to adjournment At the night sessions, attention is given mainly to local bills, which have been a great obstruction to general legislation. Some unique resolutions were intro duced at a recent night sitting along toward 10 o'clock, when the burden of care and work was resting heavily upon the solons. MT. Hurst felt that compensation for night and day ses- sions ought to be raised to SIP, but his proposition was ruled out of or der. MT. Parker then offered a res. olution instructing the clerk of the house to provide for each member at> tending the night sessions three box es of sardines, also a cot, straw mattress and a straw pillow, in order that work might not be retarded by members having to leave the hall and seek slumber in their rooms, but the body had gotten sleepy and the house adjourned before Mir. Parker could get his resolution through.

MORE DAMAGE K
 RESULT OF RIA.
HEAVY RAINS ARE DOING MUCH DAMAGE iN VARIOUS SEC
 TONS OF THE STATE.
Reports Show LoWlands Are Over flowed and Planting Operations
 Are at a Standstill.

Little Rock.--Reports from various sections of the state show that the recent heavy rains have damaged what crops are in the ground and de layed all planting. Lowlands have been overflowed, and it will be seY- eral days before planting can be re- sumed. In most sections, little cot been planted is not expected to come up. Much of the country around Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Newport, Ashdown and other sections is under water, and the lands that by this time of the year should have growing crops on them are not in condition to be planted, and it will probably be two or three weeks before planting can be resumed. In the neighbor- hood of Philadelphia the damage has been great and planting has been de layed It is estimated by planters that the cotton crop will be about one-third short this year as a result of the excessive rains.
 In Phillips and adjoining counties, farmers are very much discouraged at the prospects of getting their crops planted in time to secure an average yield. All streams and bayous are out of their banks, and much of the lands are covered with water. The rainfall in the vicinity of Marked Tree has been over 10 inches for the month of April. In the rice sections of the state it is reported that about one fourth of the crop has been planted while the balance has been delayed on account of the excessive rains.
 Farmers around Texarkana report that crops have already been dam aged and that greater damage will result if the rains do not cease.
 It is reported from Brinkley that tha rainfall has been excessive, but there is no way as yet to estimate the damage. All farming operations around Marion, it is reported, are at a standstill. Planting is suspended and seeds that have been put in the ground are said to be routed.

A BIG APPLE CROP IS PROMISED
Farmers in Arkansas Fruit Belt Are
 Now Spra Yinu Their Trees

Rogers.-The past week has been busy one with the fruit growers in Benton county, as the farmers have been engaged in the work of spraying their apple orchards. This, the first spraying after the trees have shed their blooms, is considered one Of the most vital and important one of the entire work of the season, as the spray now serves a destructive blow to bugs and insects which had just emerged from their winter quarters to feast upon the young apples and plant their eggs within the fruit. Re. ports come from every nook and corner of the county to the effect that the present prospects for a big apple crop are the best for many years.

RAILWAY LOSES
 CASE. AT FIT. SMITH
JUDGMENT FOR $50 IS RENDERED IN 365 CASES, MAKING TOTAL
 OF $1s.25o IN ALL CASES.
Same Number of Cases to Be Tried Against Another, Charging Failure
 to Provide for Workmen.

Fort Smith.-The Fort Smith & Western railroad has just been fined S18,250 by Judges Fisher and Fish back. The railroad was adjudged guilty of violating the state law that preseribes proper buildings for rail- way workmen at division points.
 The case will be appealed.
 Three hundred and sixty-fiye suits were lodged against the Fort Smith & Western and 365 against the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway Com pany about month ago by Prosecut- ing Attorney Little, alleging that the companies repaired cars and 1000 engines here and forced their work men to do the work in the open air, contrary to the state law. The cases against the Fort Smith & Western Was heard first The cases are con solidated and both courts sat at the same hearing. It was agreed that one ruling would govern all cases and one verdict to apply to the re- maining 364 cases.
 A penalty of $100 was asked in each case. The railroad company pleaded that Fort Smith was not a division of the road, and, since the law only applied to division points, the defend ant was not guilty. It also contended that it had erected proper facilities for it's workmen. Judge Fisher ren- dered decision holding the evidence proved that Fort Smith was a divis- ion point of the road He also held that the buildings erected by the railway company were insufficient, leaky, unfloored and partly unroofed and could not come under the ex- emption of the law as claimed by the railway company.
 A fine of $50 was assessed in each case.
 The cases against the Frisco road are set for hearing May 19 in both courts, and it is said that an effort is now being made by the railway company to compromise it's case.

In the early stages of the consid- eration of the bill appropria ting $672,- GOO for the completion of the new state capitol it became evident, through the opposition of MT. Glover, MT. Brown, MT. Hatchett and MT Scott, that the bill would not have smooth sailing. The bill is cham pio1ed by MT. Bradham, it's author; MT. Wilmington, MT. Kerwin and Mr. Ragon. The bill, as originally pro- posed, carried a provision for the is- suance of notes by the state to raise funds with which to carry on the work of completion. That feature was stricken from the bill by the house in committee of the whole.

"CuT OVER" LANDS INTO RICE

Lumber and Land Company Has Plan
 That May Be Successful.
 Newport.-If the plans of the Red River Land & Lumber Company, which owns several hundred acres of land near Bradley, this county, work out like the experiment made last year OF a small tract, the problem of what to do with "cut-over" lands held by many lumber companies will be successfully solved.
 It has been the practice of the holding companies to either sell to settlers the land from which all the available timber had been cut or al- low the lands to remain idle until a second growth of timber was ready for the saWmill. But the first plan has not been very successful, for the small farmer does not, as a general rule, find the cut-over timber land the best for farming purposes. The sec ond plan is too slow, as it requires many years for the timber to grow back into trees large enough to pay for the cutting.
 The Red River Lumber Company has devised the plan of putting the "cut-over" lands into rice This will not interfere with the growth of the timber to any extent and at the same time will make a most profitable in vestment. The company has 200 acres of land just north of Bradley which it will plant in rice this year, and the result will be watched with interest. A small patch was planted last year, and the yield was such as to convince the officials that such farming on larger scale would De sure to pay.
