l am in the granite country now and along side of the road everywhere are granite boulders just right for a seat and they invite me to sit and finger awhile. I soon come to the bauxite mines. Bauxite is rotten granite, which accounts for it's being found in this section. It takes four tons of bauxite to make one of alum mum. The landowner gets one dollar a ton for it, the manufacturer gets S400 ton for his aluminium. Be twixt and between the two figures there is room for some one to make 8 fortune, but it is mostly after it has left Arkansas.
 Only a half mile from Bauxite is Granite Mountain Springs It is in the center of a farming community which affects that royal berry-the raspberry. The water is fine and tastes strongly of sulphur. The viii lage is an ideal one and several Lit tie Rock people have their summer homes in it. Two new houses are now going up. Dr. s. P. McJunkin owns large sanitarium here, though closed now he contemplates opening it up soon.

Going over to the bottom lands next I was soon in the heart of Dixie and had to swipe half dozen oceans as I passed them. I also passed through what I was informed was. the best section of land in Arkansas. It is in the flat woods. is watered by an ever running creek and has four or five springs on it. The fiat lands are not worth much and this section and the adjoining ones are priced at s7.5e an acre.

Did you know that I made up my mind sometime ago that I would not like to be a general in Little Rock, because there are so many soldiers on the streets that I would weary my right arm returning their salutes. Well, I walked down Main street be- hind general and he only had to re- turn about two salutes to the block, so I have concluded it would not be such a bad thing to be general af- ter all, considering the pay.

Though a newcomer, his large barn full of peanut and other hay, fodder, etc, with big crop of sweet potatoes, corn and cotton as we'll as some twenty odd fine hogs shows that he has the happy faculty of quickly adapting himself to new surroundings.

Mexicans prospected this country for mineral before it came into the possession of the United States. Where the first two bauxite mines were opened up they had dug deep pits, in one of which was growing a large white oak tree Bauxite's value was unknown then and those old dig gers must have been directed by some presentiment that there was fortune to be had out of the ground. They found it, but did not know it. Just across the line on this road (Arch Street Pike) is where another adven. ture came to grief last spring. The derrick which they erected is stand ing. but no oil has ever flowed. Even their machinery was never placed on the ground, but they promised their stockholders an abundance of oil.

I spent the night with O. P. Ben nett and was surprised that he was not digging his sweet potatoes, but he says a rain would not hurt them, and his father-in-law, MT. Givens, fur nished me the additional information that his late potatoes are growing fas- ter than before the frost. They dug one row just before the frost and it made two bushels and had just dug the next row to it which yielded just twice as much. If this is true and have no reason to question this state ment, then most sweet potato growers have whole lot to learn about their business yet.
