The investigation OF the affairs OF the
wrecked New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad having very plainly
revealed how that valuable property was
looted by certain high financiers OF New
York, ii is now proposed TO use the law
TO compel these master thieves to dis
gorge. II is said that the stockholders
who were so outrageouSly robbed will
bring suit TO recover the l25,0OO,O0O or
more that was stolen from the road and
which went into the pockets OF J. Pier
pont Morgan, William Rockefeller, Lewis
Cass Ledyard and other directors who
were foremost in the Swindle.
II would be a lesson the value OF which
cannot be overestimated if these men
should be required 10 pay back what they
stole. Especially if justice should also
impose term in prison.

WEST VIRGINIA won a point in the
Supreme Court OF the United States on
Monday, when our States motion for
leave to file an amended answer in the
State debt suit OF Virginia against West
Virginia was granted in an opinion handed
down by Chief Justice White. West Viz
ginia claims certain credits should be al
lowed as offsets to the amount OF the debt
which the court has already found the
State liable. These credits amount TO
about $4,S00,000, and if allowed would
reduce the debt from S7,1S2, 507 .46, as
fixed by the court, to s, 327, 95.2S, which
West Virginia's commission has offered
TO Virginia in full settlement of the debt.
The Chief Justice stated i'll his opinion
that the lawyers for Virginia claim that
these credits have been considered al
ready and that they also claim that the
greater part OF them are referred 10 in the
original record and in the masters report.
The motion was granted and the sub
ject matter of the supplemental answer
was referred TO Charles E. Littlefield, as
special master, with directions TO hear
and consider the evidence and testimony
which West Virginia may present in sup
port of lis claims OF additional credits.
He is also directed to report his finding
TO the court not later than the first Mon
day of October, this year.

The Chinese government couple OF
years ago having decided that opium was
great evil 10 the people OF that country
adopted efiicaciouS measures 10 put an
end 10 the trouble. A decree was pro-
mulgated prohibiting the raising OF pop
pies, the plant from which opium is
manufactured. Now another edict has
been issued, that persons under forty
years Of age who are caught smoking
opium shall be shot.
Civilized America may find something
TO initiate in the thoroughneSs of the
methods OF the heather Chinee. The
one way TO end the liquor traffic is TO
stop the manufacture OF liquor. And if
there are still those who cannot obey the
law-well, while we shouldn't advocate
shooting 'em, perhaps the Chinese can
show us less harsh but equally salts
factory method OF reasoning with them.

Diagrams Doomed.

Fayetteville, Nov. 2.-The author of one of the best English grammars published in the United States, who is now engaged in preparing a new edition of his book, proposes to follow a custom that has grown to be quite usual in recent years. He has asked the faculty of the school of education of the university of Arkansas to criti- cize his manuscript and actually to try it out by using it in the training high school, saying, Investigation has convinced me and my publishers as we'll that you have one of the best experimental laboratories in your training school to be found in the country"
 It is the theory of the diagram in English grammar that it teaches the students the relation of the different parts of the sentence to enc another but the boy was not far wrong who said that he had always found that before you could diagram a sentence you had to understand which parts belonged together. Diagrams have been practically banished from the new book.

GROWING WINTER
 OATS IN SOUTH Farmers Are Urged by Fed eral Department to Plant
 Oats at Once.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Every south ern farmer should grow enough oats to feed his work stock during at least a portion of the year. In addi- tion to furnishing feed grain at less cost than it can be purchased, fall sewn oats prevent the washing of the soil by which much fertility is ire quently lost. There is still time to SOW winter oats in the Gulf states, though this work should be done at once if good results are to be ob- tained. According to- specialists o1 the United States department of agr.- culture, oats sown in the Southern states during October or the first halt of November may be expected to pro- duce at least twice the yield of grain obtained from spring seeding.
 Winter grain may be soWn on land which produced a crop of cotton. corn or cowpeas the past summer. If this land has not already been blow ed, it will be better to make the sur face soil fine and loose with the disk or drag harrow than to delay seeding by blowing now. Better re suits are obtained from sowing with the drill than from broadcast seeding though if a drill is not available Sowing the seed broadcast on we'll prepared land usually results in 2 good stand. If tine preceding crop was well fertilized, 100 to POO pounds of acid phosphate will be all that the oats require this fall, though little nitrate of soda will help the fall growth, especially if the soil is not already we'll supplied with nitrogen from the growing of coWpeas or some other legume. A top dressing of 59 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda ap- piled when growth starts in the spring will greatly increase the yield
 The variety of winter oats most commonly grown in the South is Red Rustproof Appler, Lawson, Hundred Bushel, Bancroft and Cook are selec- tions or strains of Red Rustproot which are said to be particularly valuable in some localities. The Full ghum is a promising new variety which natures a week or ten days earlier than the Red Rustproof, and usually produces as much or more grain. As the kernels of all these varities are large, from ? 1-2 to 3 l-s bushels should be sown to the acre The smaller quantity is sufficient ii the seed is drilled early on well-pre- pared land, while 3 bushels or more are needed when the seed is sown broadcast late in the season. The Winter Turf or Virginia Gray is a very hardy variety which is valuable for pasture or hay production, but which does not yield as much gram in the Southern States as the Red Rustproof. On account of the small size of the kernels, only 1-2 bush els of seed of this variety arc re- quired.

 stroys Chalmette Gin.

Virtu- ally nothing contained in the building was saved. About half a hundred cords of wood was consumed Df. Simmons carried no insurance on the gin or it's contents.
 News of another cotton fire reached Pine Bluff yesterday when residents of Noble Lake brought to the city in- formation of a blaze which destroyed thirty-six bales loaded in a railroad car on a spur track of thl Iron Moul tain at that place. The cause Of this fire is not known, but it is believed to have originated from fire in tha nigh grass along the railroad right of way. The cotton was being ship ped by Col. s. F. Breckenridge of Fort Smith from his Noble Lake plantation to he Farmers warehouse at Pine Bluff and it is stated that the Iron Mountain had issued the bill of lading Friday. The fire occurred early Sat urday morning before the car had been moved from Noble Lake. The loss on cotton and car is estimated at $5000.
