in the Manchurian campaign, and ask.
ed him what had been the most strik.

His reply was: without doubt It was
this. In the battle OF Mukden | no

This Is most instructive incident,

.OLD AGREEMENT
 IS NOW REVIVED
GARLAND OWES MONTGOMERY A SENATORIAL TERM. ACCORD.
 ING TO CONTRIBUTOR.
Agreement Reached 12 Years Ago That After Two Terms in This
 County, Next Senator Should = ,,-,-,.--. Come From the Others.

Eo"or sentin+i-Record
 The general transformation that seemingly prevails in this community IS to the existing agreement between the democrats Of Garland and Mont gomery counties as to the senatorial representation of this. the Thirty.arst district has led me to look up my old scrap book and find the follow ing: The Thirtyfirst senatorial dis tact was created in 1883 by taking Garland county from the old ninth dis triCt. composed of Saline. Garland, Hot Spring and Grant counties and. by taking Montgomery county from the Thirtleth district, composed of Clark, Pike and Montgomery counties
 This district Garland and Mont. gomery) first elected G. w. Baxter, who served as senator from 1885 10 1SS95 ]. J Sulnpter succeeded Bax. ter and served from 1889 to 1893. Gibson Witt succeeded Sumpter and served from 1893 to 1897; J. D. Kim. ball succeeded Witt and served from 1897 10 1901,
 In the spring of 1900 a successor to Kimball was being talked of and the democratic committees of Gariamd and Mont gomery counties adopted the following resolution;
 Whereas, Garland and Montgomery counties compose one senatorial dis trict, and,
 Whereas, the voting population of Garland county greatly exceeds that of Montgomery county, and 1t being right that the smaller county should have tie assurance. as between the two counties, of a fair representation in the state senate on a fixed basis, and believing that Montgomery coun. ty should have one senator and Gar. land two out of three; and
 "Wisreas, Garland county has al ready had three senators and Mont gomery county one, and the last sen ator being from Garland county therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the above be fixed as tine basis of representation of the two counties in the state senate and that Montgomery county have the sen ator for the next term, and that Gar land county have the senator for the ensuing two terms, and the rotation iii said office continue as above pro rided"
 The Garland county committee passed the above resolution on May {. 1900, and the Montgomery cor7ty committee on Mary z. 1900, and # will be noted that under the above agreement that Montgomery county is entitled 10 the next senator.
 The reading of the above agree ment will place before the democrats of Garland county their plain duty. This agreement cannot be abrogaled or set aside at will, no matter if it would result in helping us to send progressive Garland county man to. the senate. one who believes in help ing the farmers (especially to cheap harvesting machlnerg). and taking bold and manly stand on all matters of vital importance 10 Hot Springs.
 These old scrap book "reminiscences are called forth by the editorial eh. titled The senatorship." in yester days New Era. and I have no doubt ahis enterprlslng paper will take different view Of the matter after reading the above exact copy of the senatorial agreement, Yes? No?
