PENIIENTIARY IS NOT
NOW SELF SUSTAINING
FULLY HALF OF CONVICTS,
HOWEVER, ARE WORKING ON
STATE FARM.

Little Rock, May 1.-THE peniten-
tiary is not now self-sustaining, but
fully half the convicts are employed
at work that cannot be realized on
until the cotton and corn crops are
gathered. The pay roll for the month
of April was $2,6S1.14, and total of
ST., $4,000, including $4,S5707 old
accounts, was allowed. There is still
in the commissary total of $S,37420
in supplies. These accounts have
been allowed, but the payment is sew
eral months in arrears.
For the month of April the income
of the penitentiary was $4,923 from
the Reeves contract. The contractor
must pay 81 per day per capita for
200 men, whether they are worked or
not, and during the month there was
total of IT'S idle days, when the con-
tractor could give the men no employ
ment, representing just that much
loss. This is one of the reasons why
the board has difficulty in placing the
men advantageously.

the same as cash at many of the
stores.
Score another point, also. The ber-
ries are not the only point of profit
to this industry. In fact, they are alb
solutely clear profit when the business
is properly conducted. Three wears
ago Morrilton was shipping plants in,
but this year saw more plants ship
ped out, bringing in an additional in
come of nearly $1,000. Had the Win
ter been an open one the number of
plants shipped out would have reach
ed ten millions. Off of six acres H. H.
Childress sold plants amounting to
81 ,O08. Off of two lots, 75xl2O feet,
w. j. Smith got 1884 for plants. r. C.
Hoskins off of two acres sold $14S
worth; j. w. Smith $3.50 worth off ten
acres.
Mr.. Mays informs US that grower
can safely figure on selling $50 worth
of plants to the acre, and this will
more than pay for the plants you first
set out, the expense of cultivating and
the rent of the ground.
We are not relating a fairy story,
even though things do seem rather in
credible. Mr.. Mays has used Morrill,
ton as a shining example" and as a
result, has developed this industry at
Westbrook, Bolton, Blevins, Prescott,
Arkadelphia, Benton, Camden, For
dyce, Kingsland and Pine Bluff. All
the plants for these places were sold
by local growers, and the secretaries
of all these newly-formed associations
will be here during this season to look
over the big business and get pointers.
Morrilton got started right, as she
always does, and therein lies much
credit for her success. Only one kind
of berry is shipped from here and
that is the famous Klondike. AS re-
suit, we are first in quality, and quail
ity counts. Counts so much that we
can almost safely count on 25 cents
more on the crate than any other sta
ton in Arkansas. The color is right,
the flavor is superb and carrying
quality A l.
Four years ago, during the month
of May, you would have found Nor
rilton a very dull trading point with
little cash in circulation. Now when
you come to our city you will find
trading lively, everybody busy and
even the kids with plenty of money.
All praise to King Strawberry! Why
bless them, they almost taste like
money!

A New Crop In Delaware

Cantaloupes are being shipped BY the
carload from Sussex county. Their sue
cess a. moneY-makine crop has been
demonstrated during the past two wears.
BY actual growing ii has been found
that Delaware cantaloiines can fayorably
compete with the Famous Colorado
brand, with a great advantage in the
neaTness to big markets which 1t pos
sesses. Delaware is but eight hours to
500 OF the largest markets in the United
States, and as a result the Sussex canta-
loupe can be shipped to those markets at
much lower cost and in much better
condition than can the Colorado product,
Farmers have made considerable money
on the crop this year, and as Il result large
acreages are being planned for next year.
Georgetown, which is the center OF Sus-
sex county and the county seat, raised
cantaloupe5 for the FIRST time in itS his
tory this year, and yet, notwithstanding
that fact, shipped about twelve cd4otu
to market. The cantaloupe Is expected
to jump FAR ahead of both the straw
berry and the peach in the future.

A STRONG TICKET

The strongest ticket ever nam
ed is the State wide opinion Of the
action Of Delaware Republicans at
yesterdays Convention. Truly the
ticket represents the call of the
people. Undue personal ambitions,
sectional line, gave way TO the needs
Of the hour and representing the
sentiments OF the rank and file,
men We're called and honored as
seldom seen i'll the world of politics.
Several Of the nominees like Sen
ator Miller, and Mr.. Hall who were
prominently spoken Of for the
Offices named, refused to discuss the
matter. Without plea or pledge
responsibility and duty has been
given them. Coming with this
honor is the strong support of the
party and confidence of every voter
throughout the State. And 50 it is
with every nan named OH the
ticket. Nominations coming TO
them from out the open opinion
and conviction OF the delegates-
without the usual campaign
strategy--they should indeed feel
proud as does the whole State of
their success,
With these candidates, the party
can present to the people Of the
State-a ticket representing all
classes, unpled@ed and strongly
capable Of administering tie duties
Of Office. And when the public
sees the personnel ofthe ticket, they
will, with confidence appreciate
and accept the claim.

graduate how to handle the needle

art that ought to he practiced.
