agents and they will be asked to
assist in the work he has under
taken as the business head of the
organization so far as the market
ing of cotton is concerned. Mr.

of each county in the state to be
present at this conference and is
looking forward to an enthusiastic
meeting.

Farmers I’nion. winding up his
own affairs, hut, he announced on
opening his headquarters that he
would begin at once the work of
getting things in shape so that he
can handle all cotton sent to him
by members of the organization.
Fie says lie will ex pect. the coun
ty and district agents to handle j
the cotton at the various smaller
trade points throughout the state,
but he expects to lie in shape j
shortly to handle every bale of
cotton offered him by any mem
ber of the union. In all cases
where fair prices can be obtained
in the other trade points of the!
state, he says that he will advise
that the fanners sell through their

terdoy afternoon, “and I believe
very little of the ootton will be
sold as low as that price. 1 shall
insist, however, that no cotton be
sold through any of our agents for
a less price than this.”
Mr. Ellis does not expect to em
ploy an office force at present, but
as soon as the business requires
he expects to add men to his force
in the office so that he may be able
to handle all the business that
comes his way.
ENCOURAGING CONDITIONS
Leaders of Two Great Political Parties
Are Getting Nearer Together
In a political way the news is
not without interest.
President Roosevelt has declar
ed to be so much in favor of the
income tax that he will make it
the text of a special message to
congress.
Mr. Hearst in New York, being
charged with an intended use of
money in his campaign, said:
“1 guarantee not to contribute
more funds to my own campaign,
in which I am personally interest
ed, than I did to the campaign of
! Grover Cleveland and William J.
Bryan, in which I was merely in
I terested as a Democrat.”
Mr. Bryan, in a speech in Kan
sas, paid tribute to the president
I of the United States in a para
graph, the whole of which is well
worth close reading:
“Unless 1 am very much mis
taken, we are approaching a time
when we can consider public meas
ures with less partisanship than
we have before in generations. I
can remember when I first entered
politics that there was such strong
feeling in regard to parties that it
was almost impossible for a man
belonging to any one party to find
anything good in another party.
This state has done much to break
down the old feeling. President
Roosevelt has done a great deal to
convince the public that there is
something good in the Democratic
platforms. He had the courage
to take up some of the reforms the
Democrats have advocated before
his party had advocated them.
“The president has done much
good. I don’t know what he
might have done had he had an in
vironment favorable to reform.
He has done remarkable things
for a man who lias to fight his
leaders all the way through. 1
don't know what he might have
accomplished had he not been so
handicapped.”
When our leaders in politics are
acting and talking abovewise,
there is every ground for belief
that the leaven of public sentiment
is working and that the bread of
better times is in the oven.
NO-UCENSE MAJORITY
The Search Light in summing
up the entire vote on the license
question puts the no-license ma
jority in the state at 15,tils. The
number of dry counties now are
5<>, the wet counties IS. Carroll
being divided again. The Search
Light has issued a new map show
ing the drys in white and the wets
in black. Outside of the lower
counties along the St. Francis and
Mississippi rivers the black spots
are very scattering. The chances
are that in a few more years the
remaining black spots will be
wiped oil the map of Arkansas.
STATE HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD
Itemsof General Interest Gathered
Fresh From the Columns of
the Daily Papers,
Hob Mitchell, a 16 year-old boy
employed at the oil mill at Cotton
Plant had his right arm caught in
| the machinery and it was so badly
i lacerated that amputation above
| the elbow was necessary.
I Secretary Brown of the Little
Rock Hoard of Trade estimates
that the cotton crop of the state
will be about 900,000 bales, or
about 100,000 bales short of what
was expected three weeks ago.
R. It. McDonald, who commit
■ ted the act which led to all the re
cent lawlessness in Argenta, was
given orders to leave that city so d
| never return. The order was is
sued by Mayor Faucett upon the
demand of prominent citizens of
Argenta.
Superintendent .1. A. Pitcock of
the penitentiary says that about
one-fourth of the crop on the state
I farm in Lincoln county was de
stroyed by heavy rains in Septem
! her. About 2,S0»* acres on the
state farm were planted in cotton.
The 3-year old child of G. \V.
, .Jones of Independence met with a
peculiar accident a few days ago.
The child got its hand caught be
tween the pailings of a fence, and
while in that position a hog came
up on the other side and bit the
hand, badly lacerating it.
Lrnest Rabb, 21 years of age,
! who lives at Walcott, met with a
fata! accident Thursday afternoon.
; The young man was riding home
from Warren's Chapel, where he
j had been assisting in doing some
j repair work, and was thrown
from his horse and his neck brok
1 en.
; Reports from the rice fields of
| Lonoke, Prairie and Arkansas
I counties are to the effect that the
recent rains and heavy winds dam
i aged the rice crop about 10 per
cent. The greatest damage is in
• the fields which were unprotected
by timber, bm <>ven in these snc
tions it, is declared the damage will
i not be .is great, as to cotton in the
same unprotected state.
