Brent passed into the library. On
the wall hung splendid painting of

In the hall stood Pearl wringing her

And that ended it. She went.

so that Colonel Dare could leave the

COTTON CONSUMPTION
IN u. S. INCREASES
More Raw Material Being Used
Than Ever Before in the
Country's History

According to a bulletin is
sued yesterday by the Census
Bureau at Washington, more
cotton is being used by Ameri-
can manufacturers than ever
before in the county's history.
Mills throughout the United
States, during the six months
ending January 81, consumed
1857 ,663 bales, according to
the census report.
During January 33,008,689
cotton spindles werA active, the
largest number ever recorded.
Cotton consumed in January
amounted to 603, 701 bales, the
second largest month in the in
dustry's history. Last March
613,734 bales were used.
The large number of spind-
les active in January, it is
explained, was due to the start
ing of several new mills.
Last year during January
$4,000 bales were consumed,
and in the six months 3,075,-
721 bales.
Cotton on hand January 81

FIRE AT BATESVILLE
CAUSES HEAVY LOSS

Fire which started in a room
over the Compton bakery at
Batesville Monday night, did
considerable damage to the
Casey Drug Co., and n. M. Al
exander & Son, in adjoining
buildings.
The bakery was completely
destroyed, resulting in a loss
of about $4,000, and Mr.. Comp
ton had no insurance. The
building in which the bakery
was located was badly damag-
ed.
The fire spread to the Casey

and to the building occupied
by AleXander's jewelry store,
doing considerable damage to
each.
The Casey Drug Company's
loss is about $1,000 and is par

Alexander & Son saved the
greater portion of their goods
but sustained a loss of about
$500 with no insurance.
The buildings are owned by

ENACT BILL FOR A
new CONSTITUTION
Provides For Special Election
In June and Convention to
Be In November

Little Rock, Feb. 10.-After
a stormy session Friday after
noon the house passed, by a
vote of Sd to 40, the bill by
Senator Smith, calling for the
converting of a constitutional
convention on November 10,
for the purpose of writing a
new constitution.
The question of the constitu-
tionality of its passage was
raised by Mr.. Johnson of Sc
bastian, who held that, as it
carries an appropriation, a vote
of 81, or two-thirds of the to-
tai number of members-elect,
is necessary.
Speaker Cazort overruled
the point of order, holding that
it is necessary expense of the
state government, since the
legislature, which is the sole
Judge of necessity, had decided
by a large majority that it is
necessary for the state to have
a new constitution.
The passage of the bill fol
lowed the delivery of special
message from the governor,
urging the passage of the act,
and citing many reasons why
a new constitution is desirable.
According to the terms of
the bill,a election will be held
on June &c for the election of
delegates, each county to have
the number it now has in the
house of representatives, and
two at large from each congress
sional district, making Ia in
all. They must be not less than
25 years old. They shall re-
ceive 81 a day and mileage.
The constitution to be adopted
shall be submitted to a special
election. An appropriation of
S25, 900 is made for the ex-
penses of the election.
Moore of independence vot-
ed for, and York against the
bill.
