THE SHORT LINE TO
“THE LAND OF FULFILLMENT”
ARKANSAS,COTTON RAISERS
Are Urged by President of the
State Association to Reduce
The Acreage.
President B. H. Burnett of the
Arkansas Cotton Association has
issued the following statement to
the farmers of Arkansas
To the People of Arkansas.
As the time for planting the cot
ton crop of 1905 is drawing near,
and, in obedience to the wishes of
the Cotton Association of Arkan
sas, formed in this city yesterday,
I deem it one of my duties, as
president of the Arkansas Cotton
Association, to say to all parties
who may be interested in the suc
cess of this movement, that it was
the consensus of opinion of the
best thought of the convention
held at New Orleans, January 24,
25 and 2*!, that in order to secure
a better price for the crop of cot
ton now on hand and unsold, as
well as the cy»p of 1905, that all
parties who now hold and control
i cotton should keep same from sale
until the price ottered should reach
10 cents. It was also the opinion
of that convention that in order to
bring to and maintain the price of
cotton at the point where it ac
tually belongs and to secure the
objects for which the New Orleans
convention was called that all par
ties should reduce the cotton acre
age at least 25 per cent of that of
last year, if not more.
In many of the counties of the
state complete organizations have
been effected and are thoroughly
in touch with this great movement.
There are, however, some coun
ties which have no organizations
whatever, and to these 1 desire to
especially urge that they organize
immediately, subscribe to the rec
ommendations of the New Orleans
and Arkansas conventions and be
come and be a part and parcel of
this great movement that will en
able the man who follows the
plow and uses the hoe to receive
an honest price for his labor.
Within the next few days I will
send to the county judges of all
the counties the necessary data re
lating to this movement, so that
each township chairman may re
ceive same upon application to the
county judge of his county, and it
will be my pleasure as well as my
duty to come to any county not
organized and present the plan of
this association and organize said
county, so as to accord with the

In conclusion, I desire to call
attentintion to the fact that since
the New Orleans convention cot
ton has advanced $7.50 per bale.
I do not think 1 overstate the sit

I to do is to stand firm, carry out

j New Orleans convention, reduce
| the acreage 25 per cent in 1905,
diversify our crop, withhold cotton
from sale as per the plans of the
New Orleans convention, and in a
short while we will be able to show
ft complete verification of the fact

and to further be enabled to stamp
an eternal travesty upon the as
sertions of our enemies that our
efforts can result in nothing but
failure.

I glad to correspond with any and

ject a desire to see that an honest
pi'ice is paid for the product of
j the farmer's labor.

NEGROES FIRED UPON.
Helena, Feb. l24.—A crew of
section hands going from Helena'
to Coolidge’s crossing, about five
miles west of here, were tired up
on by a gang of employees at the
levee camp of J. W. Powell at
about 11 o'clock last night .and one
man wa> killed and two others
wounded.
The negroes who were working
under Section Foreman Lee Miller
had been to Helena for supplies
and were returning to their sec
tion when the trouble occurred.
Just as they passed the levee camp,
so they say, they were fired upon
without warning. They sprang
| from the car and returned to Hel
ena. The foreman secured officers
and returned to camp. One of
the negroes whose name is Mingo
j Valley, was found to be seriously
wounded, being shot through the
head. He was brought to Helena
on the hand car, and died about
noon today.

THOSE RELIGIOUS DEBATES
Observer Tells of Some of the
“Good Things” Accomplish
ed by Them.
Editor The Journal:
The writer read what .you had
to say, in a recent issue of The
.Journal, in regard to the “relig
ious” debate that took place at
Newark recently, and heartily
agrees with you on every word that
you said and am sorry you did
not say more.
There are two primary causes
for these “religious” debates;
first, bigotry and egotism; second,
selfishness and a desire for world
ly gain; and the secondary causes
are local and too numerous to
I mention.
First, these bigots not caring at
all for the harmony of the vicin
ity, and not heeding the dictates
I of (rod’s teachings of peace and
i love, seek to rivet their individ
| ual views and doctrines on a peo
i pie by challenging others to de
! bates, each one being so egotisti
cal and self-conceited as to believe
that he is stronger mentally than
his antagonist, and can pull his
doctrine out ahead, and tear down
that of his adversary, whether it
be right or wrong. They remind
your writer of that familiar quo
tation, “what fools these mortals
be.”
Seepnd, some preachers of not
very high ideals, observing the
harmony and progress of some
other pastor and his Hock, or see
ing the usefulness of some bright
preacher because of his goodness,
and ability, or observing the lack
of enthusiasm in his own flock, be
cause of his lack of goodness and
ability, seeks to tear down the
prospects of his contemporary,
and build up his own losses by
drawing his contemporary into st
debate and wrangle. And being
so full of egotism as to believe
that he is stronger than his con
temporary, and thinking that the
people will flock to him because
of his deep learning and oratory,
when he really doesn't possess the
elements of either. Thus he is
trying to build up a tower out of
the ruins of those that fall beneath
his designs and ambitions. Wars
and massacres for the advance
ment of religion, and “religious”
debates for the advancement of
some preacher's publicity and
popularity, are things that should
have passed out when civilization
first made its advent into the
world, and we do hope the good
people of our twentieth century
thoughts and ideals will sit down
on any further displays of bigotry
and egotism along this line.
Your writer witnessed strife and
discord, the destruction of a good
union Sunday school, and the final
downfall of two churches in one
village from the effects of “relig
ious” debates and strife between
preachers of not very high ideals.
The churches in which they
hold membership should try them
for conduct unbecoming a minis
ter, and should get a pastor more
worthy of his calling to lead them
in the future, if they wish to keep
abreast writh the times and reach
their coveted goal.

Arch Wilkins, son of John Wil
kins, near Mingo, was trying to
fire a gun with a match, in place
of a cap last Tuesday. The gun
failed to fire, and he endeavored
to pick the match head out of the
tube, when the gun was discharged
and the powder blew back in his
face. His eyes were seriously in
jured, and it is feared that he wilL
lose sight in one completely.
