No Justification For Low Prices
of Cotton.
The Progressive Farmer, one
of the best farm journals of the
South, is giving much attention
to the cotton situation and is
contending with all its power
that the low prices are wholly
unjustified.
Following is an expression
from that publication;
“The very first things we
ought to remember about the
present low prices of cotton,
and everlastingly emphasize, is
that there is absolutely no justi
fication for these low prices.
“It was not expected that cot
ton would remain at the price
that it was when the war broke
out, but a two-cent drop in price
was the uttermost that should
have happened, and the wild
consumption being cut off is
largely to blame for its going
lower. For those irresponsible
people who started such false
?noods through thoughtlessness
or ignorance, there may be some
excuse, but wo fear that many
people have repeated such state
ments simply in the hope of buy
ing cotton cheap. In any case,
farmers everywhere should be
oh the lookout for such people,
and nail these statements every
time they get a start. As the
' Titer pointed out in resolutions
adopted in one cotton meeting
last week.
“While fully recognizing the
seriousnses of the present cotton
situation, we warn our farmers
against becoming panic-strick
en by extreme statements re
garding the Quantities of cotton
to be carried over; and remind
them, first, that the English op
eratives are very few' liable to
military draft, and shipping fa
cilities are fast improving; and
second, that only 10 per cent of
tKe world’s spindles are in Ger
many and Austria, and only 15
per cent in these countries and
France, and even if all these
spindles should stop the loss
would be materially made good
by the increased consumption
of American mills. Therefore,
we warn our people that there
is absolutely no justification for
the colossal depreciation in mar
ket values these last thirty
days.

F.NAL WEEK OF
CIRCUIT COURT
Trial Of Bill Sharp Most Im
portant of Week—Will Sones
Tried on Charge of Receiv
ing Stolen Goods.
The fourth and final week of
the regular fall term of circuit
court opened Monday morning,
with Judge R.*E- Jeffery presid
ing and the case of Will Sones
a Newport negro, charged with
receiving stolen goods from
Sol Heinemann’s store, the first
to be heard by a jury. Stuckey
& Stuckey were attorneys for
the defendant.
The most important case set
for this week is the murder trial
of Bill Sharp, whose hearing
was set for Tuesday, but owing
to the absence of Sheriff Mc
Cuistion, as a witness, may not
be taken up before Wednesday.
Judge Jeffery and Judge Lang
ford had agreed to exchange
benches for this week of court,
but the former was detained in
his own court by reason of a
hung jury in a case pending.
In the Saturday night session
of court, the trial of John Sneed,
who was charged with man
slaughter, was concluded, the j
jury being out only a few min- i
utes Detore returning a verdict j
of not guilty. Phillips, Hillhouse j
& Boyce defended Sneed, while ^
State’s Attorney Erwin was as- |
sisted by “Raggedy Bill” Smith
of Walnut Ridge.

Wheat Sowing. f
Carrying out the idea that the
otton crop must be cut one half
text year our farmers are pre- \ y
wring to sow wheat quite ex- i 1
tensively. W. R. Lane will sow
several hundred acres. Mrs.
Burel will sow 300 acres, H. L.
Ponder 100 acres and so on.
Wheat not only does well in our
soil, but it is a rest to the
ground, and is on the market
early when a little ready money
comes handy and more than that
it gives the opportunity of rais
ing a hay crop on the same land ■
after the wheat has been cut
