MORE PRUNING NEEDED
Former Representative Brown Says Norwood's Hobby Is
 Rather a Short Horse

Editor Journal.-There IS an old saying, Never mind expenses while you are not out anything" and 1t seems Mir. Norwood is oper- ating on that line while working to initiate law to cut down the time and expense of our General Assembly. He knows there is a spirit of opposition to our long drawn out legislative sessions, and so he turns it into a hobby to ride into office on. If he Is going in to cut expenses why did he not lengthen his reform movement, so as to cut S1, 1000 per year off of the governors salary. Oh! no, not much, for he is pulling for that place himself.
 If Mir. Norwood will include all the men whose office pay needs pruning, then his plea will look better. am perfectly willing to to admit that our legislative bod ies waste both time and money, and that they need the brakes put on them some way to prevent 1t, but 1 see no just reason why we should make fish" of one and fowl" of another. It is an unde- niable fact that, all things consid- cred, members of the legislature get less pay than most any other officers. If you don't believe 1t, take the different officers working either for our state or county, take the money they get and di- vide 1t by the days of labor they give to the office. From the re- mainder, deduct the expenses incl dent to making the campaign, etc, and see if my statement is not correct.
 People wonder why our taxes are going up all the time. The reason is plain. Every legislature Is creating new offices and new commissions. Each officer calls for salary and expenses. In ad- dition to these new things, there is an almost universal pull for a raise of salary in the old offices. Some curse the legislature, some curse the governor, and some curse the whole thing from start to finish, but one thing is sure and certain: when man pays more for hoe hands than he gets for his cotton, he is sure to come out behind. And so long as our ex- penses keep piling up, our taxes will have to go up corresponding ly or we fall behind.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS
preacher Grows Reminiscent And Tells of Boytood Franks of
 Prominent Citizens

MT. Editor. Yes, I remember It, but not so vividly as do roll ing Oph Stephens in the branch, and he in turn did me the same. Oph and were tusseling near the little branch that came down from
 MT. Gibson's farm, and I threw
 him flat of his back in it, but did
 not succeed in breaking his hold on me, and as l loosed myself from him, having fallen flat on him, he pulled me flat on my stomach, and we were good and wet. Just as this happened the bell rang fer books, and 1t was Friday after noon and saw my good old fath- CT go into the school house, and I was sure if l went in wet as I was he would have MT. Clarige thrash me, so l said, "Oph, if Pa is in there l am not going in for he will have me whipped, sure.' We gathered up a big arm full of brush and crept up to the back of the house, and sure and good he was there. So we threw down our wood and beat a retreat to MT. Clarige's home. There we stripped as far as we could and dried out, while Fiddler (Possum) Brown played Arkansas Traveller. and good many other tunes. Finally we dried out, and Ooh said, Jim let's go back and take our whipping this evening, for next Monday there are some big girls going to start to school and 1 don't want to be whipped before them" Two of the big girls were Cat and Ark Eaves. So back we went, and just as we stepped in, :. the old big long stove pipe fell "kerflunk. Do you remember that old stove Jim Wes?" We'll. we nailed that hot pipe, and put 1t up, we did, and MT. CIarige never said a word to us about where we had been, and never did whip us. When he went home that even- ing, Mrs. Clarige asked, did you whip Jimmie and Oph this even ingw He said, No" She told him the story. He took a big laugh and said, "just as the boys came in the stove pipe fell down and they nabbed 1t so heroically and put 1t up hot, 1 thought they were sufficiently punished. And it was hot. Yes, J. w., those were some of my happy days.
 Cal. Austin was a long winded fellow and he and Martin Barnes were about the only two boys of my size l could not handle pretty well, but 1t took about three or four of us to do anything with Button Grimes. He was a good scuffler. JAS. F. JERNIGAN,

} IMPORT ANT MATTERS
Cattle Ticks. Hog Cholera and Roads are Problems That
 Demand Attention

Mr. Editor.-I would like to write a few lines in regard to the cattle tick, hog cholera and roads, three matters which have caused some rather disagreeable experi- ences in our county.
 Of course our cattle are not dy- ing now, owing to the cold wealth CT stopping the ticks for the pre- sent, but our hogs are dying allover this county and there seems very little use to doctor them after they get sick. The people have a great many different ideas as to what we should do with the cattle ticks that are having such a wide range throughout this country. Some of our people seem to think that the tick is not responsible for the cattle dying. Others think everybody should kill the tick on their own cattle. And there are others and these seem to be in the majority, say we are paying tick tax and thereby shoud have the protection of the law on our side and begin at the bottom and clean up Mir. Tick right. So some of the people of Black River and Dota townships assembled at Cord re- gently, and organized by electing A. T. Best Chairman, w. N. Os- born Secretary, and J. E. Wilson Treasurer, and also appointed a a committee of seven to solicit subscriptions to build a dipping vat. Now we think that in order to exterminate this tick from our country we must start right and have the law enforced to letter, and being present at this mass meeting and seeing the..interest manifested by the people assem- bled at this meeting, we have de- cided the people of these townships are ready to make war against MT. Tick. And we would also be glad to see the people of other parts of the country get busy, and let's all work together, so that we may have nobody to undertake to hinder this work. Then after we have exterminated the tick from our country we may then enjoy a little prosperity and receive a better price for our cattle.
 Our roads are very bad, owing to the continuance of rain and 1t seems to me that we should make an effort to have our roads rked on a more permanent basis. For instance, have more water breaks on the hill sides and make an eff fort to hold what we have done, and to drag the roads and keep the ruts filled up, so the water will not stand on the roads so long.

Russian agreement from a wrong point
OF view. Great Britain had not assum-
ed any new responsibilities under that
agreement, as some seemed to believe.
Great Britain had always wished to
see the integrity Of Persia preserved,
so that the agreement IN that respect
was not an increase Of responsibility.
Russia had obtained a dominant in
terest in northern Persia long before
the agreement was made, and TO read
into the agreement an object to work
against Russian influence in that part
Of the country was to read into 1t
something entirely contrary to the
spirit of the agreement Sir Edward
reminded his critics that the agreement
dealt with Afghanistan and Thibet as
well as Persia. countries over which
there had been frequent diplomatic
tension between England and Russia
To remove that tension was the real
reason for the agreement, and in this
respect 1t had fulfilled expectations.
Besides having brought about better
relations between England and Russia,
the agreement would greatly improve

When the agreement was made Persia
