The attendance at the World's
Fair last week was nearly a mill
ion. The total attendance since
the opening of the fair up to last
Saturday night, was 14,310,230.
If Arkansas products keep on
winning gold and silver medals at
the World's Fair, the state will
iiave to build some kind of a pub
lic repository at Little liock for
the exhibition and sale-keeping of
all these medals.
The indications are that cotton
will be 12 cents by the first of the
year, and, while we do not pretent
to be authority on the question,we
believe the farmers are making a
mistake in rushing their cotton on
the market. If the market can
stand the strain of unprecendent
ed deliveries and remain firm
about 10 cents, surely the price
will go up when the rush is over.
Say all they can, the Republican
| campaign orators cannot destroy
1 the truthfulness of the statement
made by ex-Senator Davis in his
! letter of acceptance, that “the ex
i travaganee in the conduct of the
government is greater now than
at any time in the history of the
country. ______________
At a mass meeting held at Per
rvville last Saturday Senator A.
W. Rison was asked to resign, be
i cause of alleged immoral conduct,
but the senator politely refused.
The people who attended that mass
meeting must have been “furin
! ers. ’’ \\ ho ever heard of an Ar
kansas legislator resigning'
Editor J. R. Taylor of the Par
agould Soliphone was appointed
state printing clerk by the new
state auditor, Avery Moore, but
declined to serve because the sala
ry is too low. The position pays
$100 a month. But a hundred j
dollar a month job for the short
i
I period of two years, has no espec- ,
ial allurements to a man perma
1 nently established in the newspa
per business with a good plant
' and a love for the profession.
Frequent invitations are being
received b.v Governor Jeff Davis
to speak indifferent parts of the i
country. lie was the principal!
speaker at a big Democratic rally
at Dallas, Texas, a few days ago.
He has also received urgent re
quests to speak at a number of
places in Missouri, and has accept
ed invitations to speak at Franklin
1 and Howling Green, Ky., duringj
the first week in November. The
people are learning that our Jetf
is the real thing.

BEAUTIES OF HOLY LAND.
The Sun Is the Magician That Turns
the Dull Earth to a Picture
of Splendor.
In tin* Sunday Magazine, of Lon
don, Archdeacon Sinclair, who
! was there recently, gives a plow
ing description of Palestine.
“I was struck," lie says, “bv its
specialand wonderful beauty. The
sun is the magician of the Holy
Land, painting its plains and hills
with the loveliest hues and light
ing up all with magnificent splen
dor at sunrise and sunset. The
country is far more mountainous
than I had realized. *
“Then, again, there was great
beauty in the fountains and
streams, pure and clear, from a
limestone country, and sometimes
flowing with great freedom.
“Perhaps the crowning feature
of beauty in t he north of Palestine
are the glorious snow-clad slopes
of Mount Hermon, which can be
sec*n from the* top of every pass
| among the hills, glittering and
gleaming in the pure blue vault.”
The dowers particularly struck
Dr. Sinclair, who finds it impossi
ble to do justice to their beauty
and brilliancy.
