AMENDMENT NO. 11
Some (Jood Reasons Why the
People Should Adopt it
Mr. Editor.—For the lust few
weeks much has been said in praise
of Amendment No. 10. To all this
we heartily agree, but we should
not let Amendment No. 11 goby
without, serious thought. All who
have read it understand that it al
lows the exemption of cotton mills
from taxation for a period of sev
en years, if erected within ten
years from said amendment.
To our mind No 11 is of vast im
portance to the people of Arkan
sas. It’s adoption will mean a step
further in advancement of our al
ready growing State. Cotton fact
ories is one of the great needs of
the South. If we would make our!
country great, why not offer capi
tal some inducement to come to
the front especially when it costs
us nothing, as in this case? To
vote it down would not put one
dollar in our pocket, neitherwould
its adoption take one out. In case \
the amendment is adopted and
factories built here, there would i
be thousand^ of hands brought in
to our midst. Their personal prop
erty would be assessed just as any
one else. Their taxes would have
tobe paid and their appetite appeas
ed. It is a plain proposition;do you
want Arkansas to come to the front
as a manufacturing State, or do!
you want her to retain her present
back seat in this industry?
Some call Amendment No. 11
class legislation. Call it what you
please, it is up to us to offer some
thing that money may be put up
in cotton mills here.
The greatest resource of the |
South is its cotton crop, and will i
continue, unless the weevil de
thrones it. Southern fields alone:
furnish the entire cotton produced
in the world. It is estimated that
its outpnt for one year is worth
more than the world’s output in
gold for two years. Its value to
to eivilation can be realized when
we consider that our exports of
cotton to European countries for
the last fiscal year amounted to
450 million dollars. King Cotton
stands at the head of the list.
The South furnishes 75 per cent
of the world's cotton crops, yet
she manufactures less than 10 per
cent. From an economic stand
point we would expect to find the
factories as near where the raw
material is found as is possible.
Look where the iron and steel

A BANK FOR ALL
THE PEOPLE
There are some people in every community who
think that Banks were made for the rich. If you
are one of the misinformed who have this idea, let
us again emphasize the fact that THIS IS A BANK
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.
A deposit of $1 receives the same welcome and
the same courteous attention as a larger deposit,
for this reason: Many a deposit of $1 has grown in
to an account of $1000 or more, and made itself
worth while to us and the depositor.
No account too large and none too small for our
most careful attention.

works are situated. The great
flour mills of the world as a rule,
are found iD close proximity to
the great wheat fields, but such
conditions do not obtain in regard
to cotton. Ttie double freight rate
is added to the finished product. It
is easy to see we would save some
b.y having the manufacturing
plants nearer. Within the last,
few years the manufacturer of
cotton has increased considerably
in some of the Southern States
that have offered a similar induce
ment to No. 11. The North natur
ally wants to keep the cotton mills
north of the cotton States, hence i
Northern capital refuses to invest
in Southern cotton mills. It is
therefore an evident fact some in
lucement must be offered to
bring out Southern capital that |
the South may come in possesion \
nf what is rightfully her own. Let
us give both the amendments a
jreat majority. Democrat.
THINGS LOOK GOOD.
Crop prospects in this section
are better than they have been in
many years. Good rains have fal
len throughout the county during
the past week, assuring an abund
ant yield of both corn and cotton.
The hay crop is better this sea
son than usual, the fruit crop is
good and the potato crop was un
usually good.
Taken altogether the outlook for
a record-breaking business this fall
is very promising, and it seems
that General Prosperity will be
abroad in the land.
EVERYBODY COME TO TOWN
Everybody is expecting a large
crowd in Newark on Trades Day,
Friday, September 2. If you
want to buy or sell anything it
will be to your interest to come to
Newark that day, and whether you
buy or sell anything or not, bring
Mollie and the children and come
to town. John and all his folks
will be here, and it is good to get
out and mix and mingle with your
neighbors occasionally.
TOOK STRYCHNINE

of strychnine tablets Sunday night,
thinking they were headache tab
lets, and came very near dying.
Dr. Evans was called and by heroic
work succeeded in saving his life.
