H. Flippin, one of the ap praisers who recently appraiased the property of the State Penitentiary, favors the sale and abandonment of the State farm in Lincoln County. In a communication published in the Yell ville Echo he "The Cummins farm, as owned Dy the State, known as the State Penitentiary which (Contains about 11,000 acres, is 75 miles bclcw Little Rock on the ArkantiM River, where most the State convicts ere kept and expected to cul tivate the same. My E. J.

Stephens of iSl JJorado, ana i were there for the purpose of taking an in ventory of the State's propeity, and to place a reasonably fair valuation on the land. 'Mr. Stephens and I were quite a ways apart as tof the present and future value of said farm to "the State, and I. became much inclined to tho opinion that Mr. Stephens was quite favorably impressed lwth the present and future prospect of the farm, and that the investment in same was na exhibition of wisdom on the part of the State for a penitentiary cotton field.

On that proposition we parted for I don't like the farm at all. 'The State bought the farm from one Mr. Cummins, and paid $140,000 for it. The appraisers two years ago valued the farm at $150,000, but we valued it at $140,000, just the amount the State paid: which was about $12.50 per acre. I have an idea that this land is worth $50 per acre, if it could be cultivated, but my experience and investigations there fully establish the fact to my mind, that it has not been successfully cultivated in the past, and will never be in the fu ture, and indeed I think the lougor they try it the worse it will be.

"In the first place, the whole farm is a slash with occasional lakes, but if that were alH it is possible the land could be successfully drained by double, ditching evory quarter of a mile through the farm, but that is not the only trouble, they have a levee on the banKs of the river thai absolutely fails to confine the water to the channel of the river and the dirt or sand, of which the levee ia made, allows the water to sine through and spread over the entire farm when the river Is high enough to come against the levee and it don't take a very high rise to do so, as the bed of the fiver is being gradually filled up with sand. (June an intelligent gentleman who owns a large farm adjoining the lands in question, called my attention to the fact that the river bed was being raised and that the levee was' neces-sarially so raised each year and that in a few more years the bottom of the river would be higher than the lands the levee is intended to protect. For that and1 other reasons, he believed the system (particularly in that portion of the country) was deceptive and entirely useless, and very probable ruinous to the farm it was trying to make profitable. "The State is spending thousands of dollars at this time, increasing tho height of the levee. I saw hundreds of acres of this land that had been planted in cotton, and when they had a good Btand, it was drowned out by aipe through the levee.

The warden at the farm, Captain McOook, told me that he could have made 2,500 bales of cotton this year if the sine water had not interfered with his work, but instead of making 2,500 bales, he made only 800 bales, which was almost a clear loss to the State of 1,700 bales. In addition to the lands that were- completely out, there were hundreds of acres that was damaged fully half by this sipe water and hundreds of acres more, recently cleared, that it was impossible to cultivate at all. "So the result was, a great portion of the. farm was a. Johnson grass pas ture, which is very prolific, and of very fine grade, but this extra crop is a total loss, for the reason that it is impossible to mow it at the proper time, on account of the slash.

The State does not pretend to cultivate anything on this farm' except cotton and Johnson grass. Corn is not a success there for various reasons, spring rains being one, and another is that the corn ia of an inferior grade, and most of that rots on account of the continuous dampnesa Yet the 8tate has on this farm alone, 214 head of mules and horses to feed. "I think Mr. Cummins exhibited financial wisdom when he got the State to take the farm oil his hands at $12.60 per acre. If Cummins acted wisely in disposing.

of this prop erty, what about the State Is it less wise! It has witnessed failures, after sytitemaie and practical tests. I am not trying to deliver an authoritative message to the General Assembly, but if I were, I would advise you to absolutely Tefuse to build a $1,000,000 penitentiary on the Cummins' farm, and I would further advise yon to sell said farm, before you bankrupt the and buy one somewhere that can be cuivated. and build a penitentiary on it. I am fully aatisfied that Oov. Donaghey has mora thoroughly and systematically informed himself on the questions above cited than any man in the State, and will recommend to the legislature the best possible solution of the questions involved.

The total inventory taken by Mr. Stephens and me as appraisers of the property belonging to the penitentiary was FOOL THE FOGGY FEELING by change from eof'fee to POSTUA It clears the brain.

Smith's meetings have been characterized by spectacular and, seasa-tional marches through the "red light" districts, and It is likely that he will adopt similar methods while here. Gypsy Smith was born in I860, and he was 16 years of age he could not read or write, for he was born in gypsy tent in England, and he dered over England with his parents and the other gypsy children, drawn in an old covered wagon by one old horse.

His father was at that time a drinking, pilfering, gypsy, who earned a pittance fiddling in saloons. Gypsy Smith, when a boy, passed the hat for pennies ir the beer while his father played the fiddle. Gypsy Smith's real name is Bodney Smith. He is a handsome man; with bushy jet black hair and the sparkling eyes of bis interesting race. He 1 iill of fire, humor, sympathy and tact.

He a cultivated -gentleman and is ia the finest homes in the land. He has erowded the biggest balls in England, Australia, America and otherjands. Mir. Smith has a wife and three children, and this is his sixth visit to America, He tells many amusing stories about his children. BEVIVAL CAMPAIGN IN BOSTON.

Boston, Jan. 26 Under the leader-sip of Dr. J. Wilbnr Capman, the famous evangelist, assisted by' Charles M. Alexander as 6oloist and chorus leader, Boston today enters -upon' the' greatest religious revival of its history.

Meetings will be held throughout lit city morning, noon', afternoon and night, every-day until February 21, There 'will be twenty-five groups, wjth Tre mont Temple' ss the center, where Dr. Chapman will hold forth every night. Interest in the meetings has been worked up for months in the 150 or 160 co-operating churches. They have been the subject of sermons and prayer at the regular public services; pastors and enthusiastic laymen have talked in private with the members; young people's societies have been canvassed and set to thinking, and parlor meetings have added their influence. To this will be added advertising of the commercial sort.

The secular press, daily and weekly; 'will be used, religious papers will have a share, window cards will be distributed widely, billboards will be emblazoned with J'The King's Business," and street car passengers will be confronted with attractive announcements. More valua ble than all the rest in the way of ad- vertisinj "oil be the announcements.
