Rev Father O'Flynn, chaplain to the

the history of the dole" The origin

MORE REASONlNGS

farmers paid out in wages $645, ,612.-

port from the Interstate commerce
commission | find that in the same
year the railroads of the United
States paid for labor the enormous
sum of $1,143,725,30 nearly double
what the farmers paid for their labor
in the same year
MY opinion has been, when rail
road officials said that they were the
greatest employers of labor, and
roads was bound to effect business
interests of the whole country, that
they were talking for effect. But
these figures before me, proving be-
yond doubt that with an army of l.

twice that of all the farmers in the
country, am forced to alter that
opinion considerable

PROMINENT PLANTER
 VISITS LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, August 26.-Col. J. H. Langford of Pine Bluff, a leading Arkansas planter and f. nanceer, spent Friday in Little Rock, and while here gave his estimate of the damage done to the crops bylthe continued rains in Eastern and Central Arkansas as 15 per cent. Col. Langford has also talked with Col. John NJ. Oracle, the largest individual planter in the world. who also gave 15 per cent as the extent Of the damage.
 Col. Langford says the worm is doing much damage to cotton and unless the rains stop soon it will do great harm. He said the planters are useing arsenate of lead in large quantities, but the rains wash it off as rapidly as it is applied. Col. Langford looks for much shedding of bolls and squares as soon as the sun comes out.

He left Little Rock Friday night on tour of the state to find a loca- tion, being positive that he could easily find an ideal one.

lead silver ore now that the
Cement creek wagon road is COM
pleted and ore hauling is expected
to commence next week. The
officers of the company are ex
pected here from Paris France
during next month when an in
spection of the properties is to be
made and plans for the future be
determined upon. 1t is expected
that big mill will be found a
necessity for the treatment of the
many thousand tons of low grade
ore which has already accumulated
at the mines and will continue to
do so as long at the property shall
be worked. This old district
should begin to put on new life
now that they have a way to get
their ores to the railroad without
being compelled to haul it over
two mountain rangers. There
are dozens of old mines in that
district which should begin to ship
more or less ore in the near future
and a better field for the prospec
tor can hardly be found in the
state than lies right along this
old contract mineral belt which
extends from the Italian mountain
to the old Doctor mine on Spring

producer for more than twenty
five years and is still being
