THE ANTI-FUTURES BILL PASSED
Moore-lieartsill Billed Passed by
By Bouth Houses of the
General Assembly.
Little llock, March 23.—The
Moore-Heartsill anti-futures bill,
which is intended to prevent deal
ing in futures, was passed by the
Senate yesterday after a lively
debate. The decisive vote of 21
to 2 was not altogher in keeping
with the spirit of opposition to
the measure, as several senators in
the discussion arrayed themselves
against the bill, but on roll call
voted for the measure. They ob
jected particularly to the feature
of the bill which prevents “hedg
ing.” The bill now having passed
both branches of the ligislature, it
needs but the approval of the act
ting governor to become a law.
OBITUARY
Mrs. Adaline Reeves, whose
maiden name was Bevens, was
born Dec. 11, 1843, in Henderson
county, Tennessee. Died Feb. 22,
1907, of heartfailure.
Between these two dates, the
one marking the birth, and the
other the death, lie the life, labors,
joys and sorrows of this noble
Christian woman. How significant
the day, that notes the advent of
a wee little babe into this world.
Fond parents look with paternal
pride on the new comer, and their
hearts best love, and the hands
tenderest touch are lavishly be
stowed in unfeigned attention.
Joy tills the hearts of all, and con
gratulations are heaped on the
fond father and mother. So sac
red is the event that it is recorded
in the old family Bible. Thus it
was away back in the home where
the subject of this sketch came
into this old world of life and death.
But how different the day that re
cords the departure of one near and
dear to us. The mourners go
about the home and sadness fills
every heart,and friend after friend
extend their deep condolence and
sympathy. So it was, in the home
of my old tried and true friend,
R. R. Reeves when the light of
life went out in the death of his
good, kind and true loving wife,
on the 22nd of February, 1907.
She was first married to .James
Reddin in 1801. Her second
marriage was to \V. T. Speed in
1806. There were five children
born unto them but only two are
living to mourn for mother, Mrs.
<J. R. Ray and Miss Bertie Speed.
She was married to R. R. Reeves
in 1895, who now, with the two
daughters, and a host of friends
mourn the death of Sister Reeves.
She was a Christian, having united
with the Methodist church when
quite young, she remained true to
her God, and church until death
closed her earthly mission. An
other good woman has gone, a kind j
mother, loving companion and a
good neighbor. Hut she needs not
our tears nor our sympathies,
“Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord for they rest from their
labors and their works do follow
them.” With this word of com
fort and assurance, then weep not
for mother, but be ready to ^o
when death calls for each in turn
and then families will be reunited
to be broken no more.
,Jas F. Jekxigan.
WOULD PUNISH DIRELICT OFFICERS
Bill Introduced in Legislature to
Oust Officers, Who Fail
to Enforce Law
-L_
Little Rock, March 23.—Fol
lowing is the full text of a bill in-;
troduced in the senate yesterday
by Senator Amis. The bill was
read twice and placed on the
calendar:
“Section 1. That upon the fil
ing with the governor of the state j
! of Arkansas of a duly sworn to
petition by fifty or more reputable j
citizens of any county in this state,
that any criminal statute is bein^r
violated, and that any district,
county or township officer is
knowingly permiting such viola- j
tion and failing and refusing to
! take steps looking to the preven
tion thereof, the governor shall
have power to suspend such officer
or officers and appoint some other
person or persons to discharge the
duties of the officers until the ad
journment of the next term of the
circuit court of such county follow
ing thereafter, when, if no indict
ment is returned against such offi
[cer for some offense growing out
of the cause of such suspension,
he shall be reinstated; provided,
however, that if an indictment is :
returned such suspension shall con
tinue until the case is disposed of
and such officer’s right to continue
in office and be reinstated is de
termined by the laws now in force
governing such cases.
“Section 2. That this act be in
force from and after its passage.”
ANOTHER COTTON PICKER
Cotton picking devices are gett
ing as thick as bears in New York.
Another one has been tested on
the plantation of Mr. A. M. Shel
by, near Greenville, Miss. The
inventor's name is withheld, but
the patent is said to be owned by
Cohn, Whitney and Goldfarb, of
Greenville. The cotton picker
gathers by the principle of suction,
and it is claimed by the inventor
that, when perfected and run by
gasoline power, with five men to
handle the machine, it will gather
easily as much as live bales per
day.
HE WAS UP
“Is your huband up yet asked
the early caller of the sour-faced
woman at the door. “I expect he
is,” was the reply. “I'd like to
see him a few minutes.” “So
would. He hasn’t come home

JUSTICE A PLENTY
“There is no justice in this
world,” we heard a woman say
recently. That’s exactly what
the world is noted for; justice.
Nature has no favorites; all are
treated alike. The rich man, is no
happier than the poor man, if the
poor man behaves himself as well
is the rich man. No man ever
?,scaped the penalties of nature;
jvery man who violates a natural
law, is punished. There is not
inough money in the world to buy
in exception to this rule. When
rou say there is no such thing as
justice, you are simply talking to
hear yourself talk.—Harrison Re
publican.
501*1 E UNPUBLISHED LEGISLA
TIVE PROCEEDINGS
It has leaked out that there was
i scene in the Capital investigat
ing committee room at Little
Rock one night last week in which
Gfeo. W. Doneghey and Senator
Kiliough were star actors, and
rumor has it that Donaghey inflict
ed several swift kicks on that part
of Killough's anatomy where the
poet say, “A kick there hurts
honor more than all besides.”
This item did not appear in the
Democrat or Gazette, yet they fur
nish forty papers a day to legisla
tors under a law requiring them
to publish all of the proceedings
of the legislature.—Monroe Coun
