EXPRESS RATES CUT.

In Its report the Interstate Commerce
Commission that has been engaged for
over year in studying the express
rates with view to cutting them, has
made full statement following its
earlier report, by which it is seen that
the revenues will be cut % per cent.
The form of receipt that is proposed by
the commission is intended more fully
to protect the rights of shippers
than the receipt that has heretofore
been given.
The matters of note in the report
bear upon the effect of the new parcel
post upon express shipments. The
commission points out that the rates on
packages of over four pounds when
carried for more that two hundred and
less than three thousand miles, are
lower than those of the parcel post.
Despite the claim Of the companies to
the contrary the commission declares
that the reduction of rates will not bring
gross loss upon the express carriers of
the small packages.
Consolation is given the express COM
panies that any loss of business result
ing from the parcel post may be readily
made good by the creation of new busl-
ness if the express companies are active.
Despite the casuistry of the commits
sion, the express companies have been
hurt, although their harm is not serious
and the public good has been advanced
greatly out of proportion to their
losses.

Tleetlne of Temperance Forces Sug-
geSted.

To the Editor of The Republican
There seems to my mind to be a
tendency on the part of some of the
announced candidates for the House to
declare strongly for temperance and at
the same time to evade the leadership
of the temperance forces.
Now TO accomplish results leadership
is the most important factor in the
tight, and our present leader is the
choice of an executive committee and is
recognized among Antisaloon Leaguers
to be one Of the best in the United
States. for one feel quite sure such
evasion on the part Of candidates is
simply to have a chance to dodge issues
as some did at the last session of the
legislature and temperance forces should
line up with the league, not in an indi-
vldual way and then when fights come
up say, Il do not like that man Ander-
son. This will be and is the cry of IN
sincere men.
The conflict is on and victory is in
sight with our present leader and it
will be a grave mistake if in this county
the men sent to Annapolis are not pledg-
ed to stand by the League which is the
churches organized method to carry out
this great reform. Then let every man
either say am emphaticaIly with the
League or not with the League.
Let it be understood the man who
says he is against ANYTHING Anderson is
for, is against the real temperance
cause itself. Cannot there be meeting
of the temperance forces between now
and the primary? | hope all can be
united for the battle.

There is a charming legend about
the name Margaret-and all it's variar
tions, from Meg to Daisy, share it,
Margaret is of Persian origin. and
means child Of light, or Pearl The
Persian legend says that oysters are
moon worshippers and that each night
they come up from the bed of the deep
sea to open their shells and worship
their diety
Each faithful oyster that opens its
shell in worship is rewarded for its be-
lief, for the moon deposits in it drop
of dew-translucent, shimmering in
light, and showing wondrous colors-
which the moonbeams turn into
pearl. Murwari is the old Persian
name; and through the Greek adapta-
ton, Margarites, is developed into the

STOCK-RAISING.

With the price of beef cattle mount ing higher each year and with the number of cattle constantly decreas- ing in inverse proportion as the popu- lation of the country is increasing, it would seem that stock-raising will soon become, if it is not so already, the most profitable form of agricul- ture.
 A recent circular from the United States Department of Agriculture de- scribes the success of a Mississippi farmer in raising pure-bred cattle. The chief hindrance to cattle growing in the south has heretofore been the prevalence of the cattle tick, which not only prevents cattle from becom- ing fat, but also spreads the disease known as Texas fever. It is now known, however, that this parasite may be absolutely eradicated within a short time by the simple means of transferring cattle from one pasture to another at stated intervals.
 Faulkner county has thousands of acres of land, which, while hardly fit for cultivation, makes splendid range for cattle. In many of the hill sec tions an abundance of grass and water may be found and cattle will require but little feed. Scores of large tracts of wild land may be purchased at a nominal price and on each will usually be found sufficient amount of tillable land on which to raise enough feed to carry the cattle through the short win ter.
 Three German young men, recently from the Fatherland, have already made a start in this direction in this county They purchased 1000 acres of cut-over timber land few miles south of Conway at cost of S6 per acre and are laying the foundations of what will doubtless be highly sue cessful business in raising stock and poultry Their example is one which should be followed by many others.

NOW IS THE TIME.

The efforts of the Log Cabin Demo- crat to develop sentiment in favor of permanently improved streets in Con- way has met with a most encouraging response. Keep it up, we are with you," has been the comment of scores of leading citizens and property own CTS.
 We believe that right now, while the sentiment in it's favor is so definitely crystallized and while the need is so apparent, is the time to take steps toward making some permanent streets.
 Before it can be successful, howev CT, the movement must be organized. If the improvement district plan is de- cided upon, there must be committees to circulate the necessary petitions.
 The Log Cabin Democrat begs to suggest that the members of the city council and the Board of Trade get to- gether and decide upon plan to be presented to the people. A mass meet ing would afford opportunities for a free and open discussion of the mat ter and such a meeting could be called by the council and Board of Trade. This paper will take pleasure in giv- ing publicity to a citizens meeting, if one should be called.
 By starting now, all preliminary or ganization could be completed so that actual construction could be begun as

Reinforced Concrete ss o,t Rsma.

Although concrete has been uss1 for many centuries. it is generally sup posed that reinforced concrete is modern invention. This, however, has been disproved, according to Popular Mechanics by the finding of bronze reinforcing rods in the concrete roof of m sncisnt Roman tomb, and in the discovery of reinforced concrete iA the construction of one of the walls of the old palace of the Louvre, Par4S.
 The reinforced concrete in the lat ter dates back only 800 or 100 ysarA but created much comment because she walls were thought to consist Sn. tirsly of ashlar and quarry stone.
