Hot springs, Ark., May 27th Two and hall' weeks ago I left Bcnnettsvillo for Hot Springs the famous natural health resort and sanitarium of thc world. Many spouts and hold springs gushing from the depth of east mountain of 117 degrees, so hot that it has to bo cooled before using, either for drinking or bathing. We all drink the Mot springs, hot water cooled, and you can drink all you cm without inconvenience or clan-1 ger perfectly harmless. The city j contains '20,000 people with 150,000 visitors annually. Should the supply of hot water cease or thc How stop, Hot Springs would be as "dead as Cassar; for tho tour ists and visitors furnish life and substance to the city, and it is the celebrated curative hot water that attracts people herc. This is a : lovely place, situated between the mountains in a valley, the govern ment owning the mountains and all the water, which is dispersed by "Uncle Sam1', through a super intendent, who has an oflice on thc government reservation. The government charges $00.00 per tub annually, and there aro about SOO tubs in thc different bath houses, and hotels ami sanitari ums, wkich furnishes a revenue amounting to 848,000.00 yearly. These .SOO tubs consume about tho entire supply, with thc vario freo spouts and springs on the walks. The U. S. army and i i.:t?i :,. i-n u,n - lilti. ??V. V....V-W, - .-. , and many bath houses. I and lodging can be secured from $50.0 to 860.00 per baths are sold in courses of '21 at from So to $10 per course. Tho a person can make it cost him just in propotion to his ability to pay. The last session of the legislature I passed a bill prohibiting any one I from drumming for any boarding I house, physicians, or bath house, i Before this law was enacted nu merous hired drummers for phy sicians and boarding houses would daily moot trains at Little Kock and Memphis and would make all kinds of misrepresentations in or der to secure the sick persons for I their doctor and hotel and etc. But j now no ono speaks to you anti you are left entirely to arrange for yourself, unless you ask and seek information. ? The state fair is now held here, Messrs Dargan and Stewart, of Chicago, tho noted jockeys and race horse owners, built tho race track and equipped it two miles south of tho city, and during the racing season, for months, had fast horses from ICuropo ami all over the U Son the track, and won thou sands of dollars, but tho state leg islature passed a law prohibiting horse racing for money, in the state of Arkansas, which broke it up. The owners then tendered the race track, which cost them half million dollars, to the state fair association, arid the fair was moved from Little Kock to 1 lot Springs. There are many bars and saloons here, and strange to say I have not seen a drunk man since I came, although I see in the daily papers, almost every moring or afternoon, where some one or more, have been lined for bring drunk and disorderly. ? have not been on streets at night, and know nothing of the conduct after dark, there are. only two policeman on duty in day time, and four at night. But this is a wide open city on Sunday. Mr. Ii K Leo, a prominent mer chant, of Laurinburg, N. C., cal j.^ herc as I did, and all stay toge . er.

They afc giv ing her medicine and she ms al ready taken eleven baths, lt is costing her heavily on account of the trained nurses and extia atten tion. 1 am boarding just across the street from the Sanitorium, where it is much cheaper. I am doing some newspaper work, while here to defray expenses. My daughter is delighted with the bnt .ionium here until they get well enough tc leave. All kinds of souvenirs are on sale here, "Hot Springs diamonds" cut out of stone ami glass from the mountain valle,)1 near here, and they resemble the genuine article.

From All Parts of the District Good Reports are Pouria^ In To Him. Hon P A I lodges, Marlboro county's candidato lor congress from the sixth district, is very much encouraged over the outlook for his chances for success at the primary. He has been out of the district for the most part in other sections of the state in the inter est of Columbia college. Hut his friends are wide awake. From all parts of the district friends have been writing to him offering him then* support and talking enthusi astically of the reception with which his candidacy is being mot with the voters. Mr Hodges is peculiarly quali fied to till the position of repre sentative from the sixth district. He is a broad man, well versed in tho needs of the people today. He is thoroughly a type of the pres cut day southerner, a southerner who is forging to the front. Rev erencing all the priciplcs and ideals for which the men of the south of the past generation fought he is also a leader of the south. The time is coming when the south is one more getting tho rec ognition which has not been ac corded them since the days of the civil war. They are a mighty fac tor in the affairs of the nation and stand on the threshold of new and greater things, The south is just awakening to the possibilities which are theirs in the national af* fairs and in the government cir cles and it behoves the voters to cess at the polls in November and the south will in this event furnish the greater proportion of the lead ers of the nation for the next four years. Marlboro will stand to their man. In many other parts of the district he will poll a tremendous vote and the outlook now is that it will bi? Congressman Hodges al tera few months. Here's success to his candidacy. i Thinks it Saved His Life fester M Kelson, o?
