The Inspiration Of The Bible
By JAMES ROGERS
No Refuse in Retrogression

But our case is even stronger. The
apponents of the Bible cannot take
refuge in the plea that man Is retro
grading. They loudly proclaim that
man has grown and that he is growing
still. The boast of a world wide ad-
vance. and their claim is founded
upon fact. In all matters except in the
science of how to live man has made
wonderful progress. The mystery Of
the mind over the forces of nature
seems almost complete, so far do we
surpass the ancients in Harvesting the
water, the winds and the lightning.
For ages the rivers plunged down
mountain sides and exhausted their
energies without any appreciable con-
tribution to mans service: now they
are estimated as SO many units Of
horse power, and we find that fretting
and foaming was merely a language
which they employed to tell us Of their
strength and willingness to work for
us. And while falling water is be-
coming each day larger factor 10

The Bible an Uplifting Power

coming lsrger in the vision that dir

and to the influence of the God and
Christ OF whom the Bible tells.
They Must Confess II.
The atheist an d the materialist
must confess that man ought to be
able to produce a better book today
than man, unaided, could have pro-
duced in anv previous age. The fact
that they have tried, time and again,
only to fail each time more hoplessly

cannot accept the challenge thrown
down by the Christian world to pro.

Impress Is On The World

answer with fire; prayed to inanimate

is pathetic. They have employed In
the worship of blind force a faith
greater Than religion requires, hut
their almighty is asleep. How long
will they allow the search for strata
of stone and fragments of fossil and
decaying skeletons that are strewn
around the house to absorb their

The Bible has stamped its impress
upon the map of the world. Its bound
aries are clearly marked, and the |
light that enamates from the Christ |
ian nations is flowing outward toward |
those who sit in darkness. Back of
the progress that marks the present I
day is the code of morals that Christ

morals is the devine character of him
who is both the Son and the Savior
Of mankind.
Atheism is negative. 1t presents to
lost man no substitute for the Bible.

PEANUT INDUSTRY
 IS LAUNCHED HERE
FARMERS ENTHUSIASTIC
BELIEVED TO BE MOST PRAC. TICAL PLAN OFFERED FOR
 DIVERSIFICATION.

An industry which may eventually
 prove to be one of the most important
 and profitable n the county was in |augurated here Saturday afternoon when at meeting or about 50 Faulk- ner county farmers and business men
 it was decided to organize an associa-
 tion for the growth of peanuts in a commercial way. While only 69 acres were pledged to be planted at the meeting, County Demonstrator J. w.
 Earlier said today that since the meet
 ing adjourned many additional pledg- es have come in by telephone He will immediately begin a canvass of the |County, and he believes at least l 1000 and probably 2,O0O acres will be
 planted to peanuts next spring. After discussion of the matter by several farmers and business r,en, the
 Faulkner County Peanut Growers Association was organized by the elec- ton of the following officers; Prof |C. c. Denney of the State Normal president, and R. F. Adams secre- |taly and treasurer.
 Manager J. Frank Jones of the Conway Cotton Oil & Gin Company !stated that if as much as 800 acres were planted, h!s company would in 'stall machinery for crushing peanuts 'and extracting the oil and would con- tract to pay the growers 75 cents q bushel for their peanuts. Peanuts are said to be very rich in oil, which is more valuable than cottnseed oil, and the products, such as peanut but ter and peanut meal, are also valua- ble for food for both man and stock The peanut meal is said to be much better feed for hogs than peanuts, as the latter produce too much fat and a
 poor quality of flesh
 The association directed it's seer tary to communicate with peanut
 growers and ascertain the cost of a
 good quality of seed, which it is be- lieved can be purchased at cost not
 to exceed S1.50 per bushel, bushel
 of seed being sufficient to plant one acre. The association will meet again
 on Saturday, January 23, at which
 time it is expected that large mum
 Der of new members will be received
 and information as to seed time of planting etc, will be given out. Among the advantages of peanut growing Which were pointed out by Mr, Earlier and others, are the fol-
 lowing:
 Peanuts can be planted as late as
 July l, and can thus be used to fol
 low wheat, oats or other winter cover
 crops, or can be planted between corn
 rows.
 | The peanut is one of the best soil builders known, it's roots collecting
 large quantities of nitrogen, and the
 benefit to the soil alone is we'll worth
 the rent of the land on which they 'are grown.
 The hay makes splendid stock food and will easily pay for the labor re-

SAWYER ELECTED SPEAKER.
 WINS ON THIRD BALLOT

Governor Hays and others had labor ed with Senator Overman that he in formed them he knew about as much about his business as they and de- parted.
 Both headquarters of candidates for president of the senate were practic- ally deserted Sunday, the workers ev- ldently keeping under cover. Senator
 Lundy declared that his supporters would stick, for they were pledged to him in writing, and no power could make the men break such an obliga- tion. Senator Smith stated Sunday morning that he had not ceased to work, for one deserter from the Lun- dy camp would make him a winner, and he expected to secure this muchly- needed vote.
 Until the general assembly convenes at noon, the Lundy forces cannot cease to fear their opposition for the Smith managers have declined to en- ter caucus delaying until the ses- sion has convened, with the hope of breaking the Lundy alignment.
 The fight for the speakership will require several ballots, so no result can be expected before the end of the first days session, and this. means that it will require several days to finally organize so the general assem- ply can get down to business. The message of Governor Hays will be read in joint session Thursday, if the organization is completed by that time

sy, in the opinion of close friends of Governor Hays There now are but three members of the old board who claim membership, and even should their claims be sustained there will be four members of the board who are supporters of the governors policy. This will make it possible to remove Secretary Hart directly by vote of the board
 The governors friends say it is probable that the old members will follow Judge Loves example and re- sign when they find that they are in a hopeless minority.
 Il feel that in doing this, not only will myself and others be relieved of an embarrassing situation, but that the legislature will be enabled to de- vote it's time to matters of most grave importance which will come before it," Judge Love said last night "In parting with my associates, justice and fairness to them and myself com pei ne to say tndt our every act, no matter how severely criticised, was prompted by motives of the highest principles and honor.
 "I have given this matter most con- scientious deliberation for the last AS hours and in reaching this conclusion wish to state no influence has actu- ated me other than patriotic wish to hasten legislation rather than ob- Istruct it by carrying the charities board fight into the legislature

 Judge Love said he resigned be- cause he believed his action would be for the best interests of the state. He said that should he remain in his posi- tion, an investigation of the charities board by the legislature undoubtedly would follow His resignation, Judge Love said, would enable the legisla- ture to devote it's time to matters of more importance to the state.

qulred to make the crop, leaving the peanuts as clear profit.
 The average yield of peanuts on all classes of land, according to the gov ernment reports, is about 35 bushels to the acre, although yields as high as 200 bushels to the acre are not un- known, and MT. Earlier mentioned Batesville grower who has been pro- ducing 160 bushels to the acre. The crop requires but little labor, is easily harvested and is not perishable. If an assured cash market for peanuts is offered here, it would seem to be one of the best possible crops to which the farmers who desire to cut down their cotton acreage can turn.

Little Rock, Jan. 1l.-Senator FL
 mer J. Lundy of Polk county was
 unanimously elected president of the senate, when it convened at noon to- day. During the morning, the SUD- porters of Senator J. Monroe Smith, Senator Lundy's only opponent, had
 walked over to his headquarters and conceded defeat, following the an-
 nouncement that Senators Yam, Go- ing and Burgess would support Sen
 ator Lundy, in addition to the IS who had already made public announce
 ment of their pledge to support him. The senate was called to order by the president pro tenn, Senator J. Ma

Little Rock, Jan. 11-Arkansas politicians who are interested in the organization of the general assembly, spent a most anxious day Sunday, the Lundy supporters being alert to pre- vent a break in their line, and the Smith managers leaving nothing un- turned to bring over one man in order to elect their candidate president of the senate. It was reported on all sides that money was being freely of fered, and the favorite yarn was that a grip containing $3,OO0 was conven- iently placed, to be handed the Lundy supporter who would renounce his pledge and go to the other side.
 When the Lundy caucus closed at midnight Saturday, the Smith men be- gan to work on the Lundy supporters whom they thought might be changed. They centered their file on Edgar ". Overman of Dallas county, whom they had expected to line up with the Smith contingent. Overman was re- quested to accompany prominent Arkansan to the office of leading firm of Little Rock attorneys and ac- cepted the invitation. He found the room we'll filled with politicians of note, and it is reported that Gov. Geo. w. Hays was among them. Up to this time Governor Hays had not appeared openly in the contest. One present is
