I
Little Rock, Oct. 17.—ReportB come j
from all sections of the State to the i
i effect that cotton pickers were never ,
! known to be so scarce as this season, j
' Farmers and planters are offering 75 !
cents per hundred and in some lo- !
j calitieB even more is paid. The aver- -j
' age picker can gather from 200 to 250 :
! pounds and at this price laborers can
! make good money.
The scarcity is attributed in a large
measure k> the rt Mroad construction
work now in progress in manv sections
of the State. Contractors nd labor
agencies are scouring the country in
search of hands and offering big
wages to induce them to go on the
-w--—— —
railroads, and as a result the usi a
floating labor cannot be found thif
year.

INSURGENTS CONTINUE FIGHT.
Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 17, 1902.—
About fifteen members of the execu
tive committee of the insurgent Re
publican State central committee and
other leaders of the anti-Clayton wing
of the party, held a lengthy conference
at the Capitol Hotel Thursday night
to decide upon a future line of action.
George W. Foulke of Texarkana,
chairman of the State committee ol
that faction, presided. It wras decided
to continue the fight against the regu
lar organization and to put on foot a
complete organization in every county
of the State. A committee was ap
pointed to prepare an address to the
* Republicans of the State setting forth
! the causes which led to the split and
| the action of tonight’s conference.
BLIND MAN FOUND
THE BLIND TIGER.
The blind man, who recently came
to Newport depending upon the char
ity of the public for the scant living
he might eke out of trivial cup offer
ings, has been spending his money
like a prodigal and has consequently
attracted attention and thus becomes
the subject of a story. The other day,
when the pennies of sympathizers had
been coming his way more freely than
usual and he was thus threatened with
unexpected prosperity, a craving for
the indulgence of a long tasted and
tiresome thirst came over him, break
ing down the barriers of good resolu
tions. Blind though he was, not much
difficulty was experienced in finding a
blind tiger,—perhaps ’twasthe natural
affinity of those likewise afflicted in
the loss of sight.
But after all, the rye that became
his through acquaintance with the
tiger was quite upsetting in its effects
and the hiccough soon assumed more
violent proportions. Just at this
stage of the game, or rather drunk, a
leading prohi passed along. An of
ficer of the city too was a nearby wit
ness and calling the latter to him, the
prohi said: “I see from Tuesday’s
Independent that you officers, mayor
and members of the council want in
formation relative to the operation of
these tigers and I suggest you get the
blind man to help you out in locating
the animals.” It was a cruel jibe and
in view of the action of the council,
was near the belt line, but the prohis
think that in this instance, the blind
should lead the blind to the haunts of
the outlawed tiger.

right
kind.
