FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,1902
Wo believe that “Two terms and
out,” would be a good rule to up
ply to all county officials.
A new election between Mnthe
ny and Stroud is the only proper
way to settle the question.
After .1. 1‘icrpont, A1organ has
settled the coal strike he might
come to Independence county and
try his hand on the political situ
ation. _
The tabulated official returns of
the recent election will be found in
today's paper, it takes longer to
get the returns from an election
in Independence county than it
does to'get the returns from the
entire state of New York.
It .seems to be the general opin
ion that another election will he
held to decide the tie between Ma
theny and Stroud, but a man is
allowed to doubt these statements
about a new election if lie wants
to, and we are a little inclined to
doubt.
Hurt Arnold led the ticket in the
recent election, and received 2,155
votes. This is a nice compliment
from the people of Independence
county worthily bestowed. Hurt
is every inch a gentleman. Prof.
Henderson came in as a close sec
ond, having received 2,145 votes.
President Roosevelt assures the
dear people that “there is a reme
dy" for the trusts, but fails to say
what “the remedy” is. Hut we
presume that he and Dr. llaima
will continue to give the dear lit
tle infants double doses of protec
tion southing syrup at regular in
tervals.
COTTON CROP SHOKTAOt:.
There seen s to hi; a general
opinion that the price of cotton
will advance, and the following!
letter from Theodore II. Price, a
Wall street. New York, man, will;
be of interest to the fanners,
l take this naans of answering
hundreds of telegraphic inquiries
leaching me from alt over the country
in rejfure to the cotton market. It is
impossible for me to reply to them in
dividually. The report of the United
Mates government, issued recently, as
to lire cotton crop condition is the
lowest on record tor September. It. is
and lias been confirmed and foreshad
owed by all other reports, public and
private, for the past three weeks.
The most optimistic construction that
it Is possible to put upon the govern
ment report does not justify the ex
pectation of a crop of ten million bales
of American cotton. The world con
sumed during the year just ended
eleven million bales of American
growth, and in order to make this
supply suffice reserves everywhere are
piactically exhausted. For the com
ing season it would require, conserva
tively estimated, about 11,250,000
bales of American cotton. There is
then a theoretical deficiency between
the maximum supply and the mini
mum demand of at least 1,250,000
hales; an actual deficiency is, commer
cially, unthinkable. The price must
go to a figure that will check con
sumption This price is by no means
reached as yet. America has a practi
cal monopoly of cotton production.
Peace reigns universally throughout
the world. Industrial and commer
cial enterprise is unchecked and ex- :
pnnding. Next, to foodstufis cotton is
the most important and necessary
staple consumed by civilized society, j
l think it entirely probable that be- ;
fore any effect upon consumption is !
apparent cotton will be selling at luj
cents a pound in tire South, and doubt
if the advance will stop there. If the
producers of the article are wise they
will demand and obtain that figure, i
Arkansas Crops.
The agricultural «I<*|>aitmriilV
report for Arkansas for the week
ending September 8 is as fol
lows :
Scattered showers occurred |
during t ho week, but as a rule 1
were light. Lower temperatures,
prevailed, some nights being quite j
cool. Cotton has deteriorated in
all sections, owing to damage by
drouth, rust ,;nd hell worms,
though there are some localities
in the northern part of the state
where rains have been ample and
damage by insects slight. In these
favored localities the crop ranges
from fair to excellent, but else
where the indications point to
from half to two-thirds the aver
age yield. It is opening rapidly
and |>ieking is becoming more
general, but is being delayed in
some sections on account of scar
city of labor. In the central and
southwest sections upland cotton
is nearly all open and picking is
being pushed. Where sufficient
rain lias fallen vegetables have
been benefited ami are doing well,
but as a rule minor crops are suf
fering for moisture. Turnip seeds ,
have failed to germinate in many
instances. Peaches are about all
gone. Apples are being picked
and marketed, but the yield is
light and quality inferior. The
ground has boentoodiy for plow
ing and not much land has b«on
broken for wheat.
McKinley rieinoral Services.

health.
The only kind of consump
tion to fear is " neglected
< • msumption. ’
People ire learning that con
sumption is a curable disease.
It is neglected consumption
(bat is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
S< ott’s Kmulsion and 'begin
i ■ uiar doses.
The use of Scott’s Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
<uses, turned the balance in
favor of health.
X . e lected consumption does
not exist where Scott's Emul
; ion is.
Prompt use of Scott’s Emul
j icoi checks the disease while it
can be checked.

“My mother was troubled with
consumption for many years. At
last she was given up to die. Then
she tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and was speedily cured.”
D. P. Jolly, Avoca, N. Y.
No matter how hard
your cough or how long
you have had it, Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral is the
best thing you can take.
It’s too risky to wait
until you have consump
tion. If you are coughing
today, get a bottle of
Cherry Pectoral at once.
