FARMERS UNION COTTON SCHOOL
flembers Will be Instructed at
Small Cost, in the Sampling
and Grading of Cotton
The Farmers’ Union Cotton
School that has been recommended
by the Union and ordered b.y the
executive committee, will open
July 15. The school will be taught
in Conway, the details of which
have been referred to Ben. L.
Criffin, State Secretary, and .las.
I. Ellis, State Business Agent, to
arrange. We wish to add that the
state is to pay the fees of the
teachers of the school. The state
will furnish samples and types of
cotton and the instructors, hence
there will be but little cost attach
ed to the course of instruction that
will be very valuable to the farm
ers, and wTe hope that every ware
house district will send to this
school its best qualified members
for such work. This is a business
• proposition in which we are all
very much interested, and the
positions that will demand these
cotton graders and handlers are
such that as demand our best rep- i
representative men—a business j
man and one in whom perfect con
fidence and reliance can be placed.
Teachers will be secured and the
complete program of the school j
made known some time in the im
mediate future. Ben L. (tkiffin.
riOTOR CAR IN OPERATION
The trial motor ear recently
built for the Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain railroads has made
its first run in regular service.
The car is being operated between
Carthage and Asbury Junction,
Mo. The car is about 60 feet long !
and is made up of three compart- J
men’ts. The first contains the
operating machinery, the second
the baggage and the third the
passenger compartments. The
passenger compartment is divided
into two sections, a smoking de- j
partment and passenger depart- |
ment proper. The car carries 60 !
people. If it proves a success it. |
is the intention of the Missouri
Pacific officials to build more cars
of the same kind and install them
on various branches of the system.

■evil of no one, for being courteous

JACK SON PO RT JOTTINGS
Jacksonport, May 13.—The Fee
Crichton Co., have put in a very
nice saw mill here that employs
twenty-five men. It runs every
day and they are doing an excell
ent business. They did intend
moving the mill further up the
, river, but as they have a fine sup
ply of logs and men, they will not
move it.
The river at this place is falling
rapidly being twenty-nine feet on
the gauge Monday. It got in
almost every one’s house and now
the people are moving back, after
living up town for several days.
Mr. and Mrs. Stinson Robinson
! are spending the summer at Cotter.
They went for the benefit of their
health and we hope it will be bene
Ificial, as Mr. Robinson has been in
poor health for some time.
Mrs. Madge Hoffman has put in
a nice stock of general merchan
dise in the old Robinson block.
She also has a bakery in an adjoin
ing building and is doing a good
business.
It was reported that ore has
been discovered near Horseshoe
lake. Now if some one would just
develop the find our little city
would build right up.
Mrs. Ida Saylors has put in a
nice millinery store in the Ander
son block and is doing an excellent
business.
Robt. and Ella Anderson have
returned from Patoka, Ind., where
they have been attending college.
M. B. Williams and family
spent a few days in Sulphur Rock
visiting relatives.
Ida Malone has a nice ice cream
parlor in the Anderson block.

Little Rock, May 11.—Mrs. F.
O. Butt of Eureka Springs, wife
of the former senator now serving
a two years’ sentence in the peni
tentiary, is visiting in Little Rock.
Mrs. Butt has in her possession
strong petitions asking executive
clemency for her husband. One

Carroll and Madison counties, the
district he represented in the state
senate in 1003 and 1005. Up to
the present time Acting Governor
Moore has declined clemency.
Within the past two years,

HARD BLOW FOR BUND TIGERS
Legislature Passes Law to Fine
Property Owners Who Rent
Buildings to Blind Tigers
Little Rock, May 11.—The pass
age of the Patterson blind tiger
bill in the house yesterday after
noon marks an epoch in the legisla
tive affairs on the liquor traffic. The
bill provides that any property
owner renting for the purpose of
operating blind tigers shall be
deemed guilty, and that after the
first conviction of a blind tiger on
the property of another the owner
is deemed to know of the existence
of such blind tiger, and he is to be
deemed guilty also. The bill has
passed both houses and will become
a law immediately upon be appov
ed by Acting Governor Moore.
It is claimed by many the pass
age of the law is one of the longest
steps in the direction of maintain
ing prohibition in prohibiton terri
tory ever taken. Heretofore the
law has specified that no man may
rent his property for the purpose
of selling liquor on it. And when
a person is convicted of selling
liquor the owner cati come up with
his contract and point to its pro
vision that the renter cannot sell
liquor therein. This bill is to
eliminate this feature of the present
law.
