NOTTINGHAM, March l2.-Thdt the situation in England in regard to the activities of the sulfragcttcs is daily bee ming worse instead of better can not be denied. In fact it almost seems that the government is not able to cope with the women and that some thing very near a state of anarchy Q. revolution exists throughout mid . dle England.
 There are almost daily reports of nutrages, the destruction of property or valuable works of art and an utter defiance of law and order.
 All of this Is causing the authori- ties great deal of anxiety and the utbreaks. which seem to bave some connection and some central directing head come from such widely sepaarted places and so unexpectedly that the government hardly knows where to turn.

X permanent depot at Dutch Har- bor or Un9laska for United States revenue cutters is proposed in the anuual report of the revenue cutter service just filed with congress. The growing importance of Alaska, the in crease in the shipping and the duty of enforcing the convention for the prevention of pelagic sealing will re- quire q large depot at one of these two places for the storage of foods and supplies. For many years Dutch Harbor and Unalaska, situated about a mile apart, have been used as a base for tle revenue cutters. Their safe har-
 hcrs and their proximity to the seal rookeries made them the only ports which could be used for that purpose.

Nome faces bankruptcy owing to the urcollectable taxes on the property lost during the big storm. The city had been living up to it's probable income on the estimate of previous years revenue. It is estimated that the taxes on the property destroyed would have been more than $1O,OOO. Several saloons. from which revenue was derived through the licenses have gone out of business. and the council will have to retrench in many ways to keep the schools up to the standard.

made at a higher cost 1t IS true but it is not near as bad as It was l6 years ago nor was there the prevalent prosperity existing all over America then that now exists; nor was there such a splendid prospect of seeing cot ton increase in price. then as now exists. There is scarcely anyone that doesn't feel sure that they will see the price of cotton go soaring to the 15 ct. mark within the next twelve months, provided the farmers cut the next crop as they are going to be f forced to do.
 Never in the history of Ameri- ca have the farmers known the price of everything else they raise to be so high as is now the  case.
 There's a great future ahead for our farmers and the sooner they stop croaking and join the Sunshine Club the quicker they will see the shadow of pros per- ity.
 Of course, things could be better but they could be much worse and if we will but keep a stiff upper lip, push ahead, smile and stick to the job, We are sure to exjoy such a wave of prosperity as has never before been known in America.

visiting advised me to use the Lehigh Valley line. because of the beauty of the country through which it passes, and I am glad 1 acted upon their suggestions, for 1 found the trip delightfully."- pleasant. both from the scenlc point of view and also the comfort of travel.
 The Lehigh Valley road follows the Lehigh riv yer through Pennsylvania to the New York state line, and the rolling mountains on either side, capped with mountain growth not yet faded from winters frost, great ly delighted the eye.
 Comparatively, the beauty of the country, from the scenic stand point, is not anything like the equal of the Blue Ridge country in North Carolina. But in regard to material develope- ment, the Lehigh section is far in advance of the Blue Ridge country. which fact is an ad- ditional evidence that the south is the country where opportu- nifty abides.
 I am out on a little vacation, and shall try and find time to send you few notes on the way.

KILLING AT COTTON PLANT
c ty Marshal, Henry Laney, Shoots and Kills Chas. Meehan, Son of Prominent Citizen,
 Last Sunday
 Night.

Night.
 On Sunday night at Cotton Plant, City Marshal, Henry Laney, shot and killed Chas. Muhan.
 The killing appears to have been another one of those terri ble crimes chargable to h whiskey traffic, as from the best information obtainable from both sides, the illicit whiskey traffic in Cotton Plant was the foundation of the difference be- tween the two men which led up to the tragedy.
 Meehan was the son of Chas. Meehan, an old and highly re- spected citizen in Cotton Plant and was appearantly the way ward boy" of the family. He figured in another sensational tragedy in Cotton Plant few years ago when he shot and killed a young barber by the name of Moore. He avoided the penalty of the law in this case, being confined in the Arkansas Insane Asylum for some time. He returned to Cotton Plant a f ter liberation from h e Asylum.
 The examining trial of City Marshal Laney. occurred in Cot ton Plant Tuesday and he was represented by Attorney G. Otis Bogle. of this city. Trial was was waived and he was remand ed to jail to await the action of the OTdHU Jury.
 It appears that Marshal Laney had been rather severe on blind tigers, that Meehan had himself been arrested at some time in the past on that charge and put in jail by Laney. that Laney had arrested a friend of Meehan on the same charge and that there was some bad feeling existing over the matter, that they had had some hot words, that Meehan had charged or intimat- ed that Laney was backing some negroes in the tiger busi- ness.
 The shooting occurred just west of the Rock Island railroad and north of the first brick busi- ness corner adjoining the rail- road right-of-way. Meehan it is supposed had just turned the Main Street corner, going north. as if going home when Laney W h 0 was coming towards him from the opposite on east side of the railroad hailed him. The evidence of the negro or negroes. whom it appears were about the only persons near by, tend to show that when Meehan heard Laney call, he turned around and came back and 1t IS contended that he had his right hand on his pocket, as he did. Just how the shooting occurred or what was said or done by either of the men, was indeffi- nite and it will probably not be brought out until the trial oc- CUTS.
 As is generally the case in such affairs feeling has run high over the tragedy and it is said that there are quite a number of good citizens who figure as sympathizers on each side, some claiming that Marshal Laney was justifiable and others claim ing that the killing of Meehan ...- ..~.~o,,olrnl

The market price on this day, 16 years ago was 4 3-4 cts. and the Brinkley Oil Mill had just opened up the market paying $6. co per ton for the seed.
 Down at Roe Is years ago the Roe merchants refused to buy cotton but they were buying sweet potatoes paying 50 cents per bushel therefor and eggs paying 10 cents per dozen and corn paying 40 cents per bushel for same.
 At Holly Grove Is years ago, 672 bales had been bought by the cotton buyers as follows:
