COnsiserab BILE disappointment was eX-
pressed at the meeting today on ac-
count of the small attendance. In spite
of the fact that the committee had no
titled nearly 800 men of the meeting, re-
questing their presence, not more than
30 responded to the call.
For a few minutes after Forrest
Adair, chairman of the general commit
tee. called the meeting to order there
was serious debate as to whether it
would not be advisablo to drop the
whole matter and give up the idea of
having Atlanta represented in the in
augural parade.
General Clifford L. Anderson was the
first to raise this point. He said that
there was some doubt in his mind as to
whether the committee had received
sufficient encouragement to continue
with the work

Upshaw captured the people at big union service at the Methodist church Sunday night and such enthusiasm had he created among the schools Monday morning that the crowds flocked to hear him in "John and His Hat" Monday night, passing right by noisy rst-night circus and packing the Dixie theater, floor and gallery. And so charmed was that monster audience crowd with what was under Johns Hat that promi- nent Parisian was heard to say as he left the Dixie: If Upshaw will come back here and lecture it will take the courthouse yard to hold the people,

TOO MUCH FERTILIZER?

According to local dealers, between $75,000 and S100,000 will be paid out by Faulkner county farmers for con- mercial fertilizer this year. One deal CT says Conway receives many times more of this commodity than any other town in the state.
 One hundred thousand dollars is ap- proximately 10 per cent of the value of the county's crop of cotton. It is more than all the real, personal and per capita taxes paid in the county for all purposes.
 It is doubtless true that the use of $100,000 worth of commercial fertiliz- CT will add more than that amount to the production of the soil, and from that standpoint it is paying proposi ton.
 But if the farmers of the county would rotate their crops, increase their pasturage and raise about four times as much livestock, they would need very little commercial fertilizer. And in addition to saving the cost of fer tilizer, they would probably make more money raising stock than they could in cotton.

CRAINMEN TESTIFIED LAW
GRAIN AND MILL OPERATORS PROTEST AGAINST RE-
 CENT ENACTMENT.

Little Rock, May 10.-The grain and mill operators of Little Rock, consti- tuting the grain committee of the Board of Trade, held a meeting yester- day afternoon, at which steps were taken to test the legality of the Arkan- sas mixed feed law as construed by john H. Page, commissioner of agri- culture. The meeting was presided over by Dan Daniels, the local inspec- tor and weigher; copies of the laws of Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky, as well as a letter from A. L. Garrison, chief seed and feed inspector of Ten nessee, were considered, and it was de- cided that MT. Pages construction of the law is directly opposite to that in the states named, to the great annoy ance of dealers and manufacturers and to the great loss of consumers. Refer ence was made to the recent card of MT. Page, to the effect that the state is losing $75,000 annually because of the failure of passing the law to pay his inspectors, as absurd.
 Chairman Daniel appointed as this committee G. F. Williams, Caughey Hayes, c. Thibault, s. F. Davis and Harry Blakeslee, and they were also directed to draft a resolution to be presented to the executive committee of the American Feed Manufacturers Association, requesting their co-opera- tion in making the legal contention in the supreme court. This association has already notified the Board of Trade that in it's opinion this law would not hold in court.

frances Second Republic
II Was Short Lived, but 1t Paved the
Way For Lasting Govern
ment by the People.
- By Rev. ThOs. B. Gregory

n IXTY-FIVE years ago today wit
messed the solemn PRONUNCIATION Of
the constitution of the second
French republic.
Frances means Frank, Frank means
Free, and from the beginning of their
history the name has well befitted the
people. The French have ever been
great lovers Of liberty. Much tyranny
has been practiced upon French soil,
and times without number the French
people, and, by n combination of cir
of much oppression to other peoples;
but the blame for it lay not with the
people themselves but with the pow
erful and unprincipled men who, for
the time being, held the bit of govern
ment in their teeth and, contrary to
the actual wish of the people, carried
them on in the mad race for power and
pelf.
French People Love Freedom
By natural instinct the French have
always believed in and loved freedom;
and as often as they have had the
chance they have so declared.
The First Republic, born of the hell
of the Great Revolution, was destroyed
by the mighty COrsican, and it was
4S years before the opportunity came
for the proclamation of the Second
Republic.
But again the fates were against the
people and, by a combination of cir
cumstances too powerful to be with
stood, F'renchmen were once more
robbed of the realization of their dar-
ling dream. The Second Republic be-
came the empire again, and for is years
the Man on Horseback" core around
about as he pleased. Then came the
terrible humiliation of 1870. and with
1t the birth of the Third Republic
which has every promise of being per-
manent.
Always intelligent by nature, the
French people have, since 1870, be-
come educated, made wise to the facts
of history; and the power that is born
OF knowledge will enable them to steer
clear in the future of any repetition
of the old time mistakes. The French
are free, and they intend TO remain
free.
