Will Not Include Linters.
Special to Independent.
Washington, D. C., March 10.
—Director William J. Harris, of
the Bureau of the Census, De
partment of Commerce, an
nounces a change in the method
of publishing the statistics of
cotton
The annual reports on the
ouantity of cotton ginned have
heretofore included the quantity
of linters obtained by the oil
mills. Formerly there was only
a comparatively small quantity
of linters obtained and they
were of such a grade as could be
used, to some extent, for the
same purposes as were the low
er grades of cotton. Many of
the oil mills have now installed
machinery for the closes delint
ing of the seed. This has result
ed in a large increase in the to
tal quantity of linters produced
I each year and, at the same time,
in lowering the average quality
of the fiber, so that now only a
small part if any, is used as a
substitute for lint cotton.
It, therefore, appears advis
able not to include the quantity
of linters in the total prodr
tion of cotton for the erop and,
accordingly, the totals in the re
port to be issued on March 20
will relate only to lint cotton and
will not include linters. Infor
mation as to the production of
linters, however, will be given
in a footnote so that compara
tive figures may be computed on
the basis of the reports issued
in previous years.

SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Thedford’s Black-Draught.
McDuff, Va.—"I suffered for several
years,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, of
this place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to fry
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
and I found it to be the best family medi
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been Found to regu*
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
If has been In constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.

Vote Will Be Heavier Than An
I ticipated.
Practically all persons who
mave ventured a guess on the
coming primary election have
based it upon a light vote. This
they do because there are few
people in the state races, with
out stopping to consider the
county and district races. The
vote will be far heavier than an
ticipated, for this very reason
In Northwest Arkansas there
is such a Hot race on for con
gress that a large vote is assur
ed. Prosecuting Attorneys and
judges are to bd elected all over
that section of the state, and
this, too, will cause a heavier
vote. About Little Rock there
will be a heavy vote ,because of
the prosecuting attorney con
test, and the same can be said
for Jeffarson county and the
district presided over by Judge
A. B. Grace- In Southeast Ar
kansas there is a decidedly warm
race for prosecuting attorney,
in addition to a congressional
race. In Northeast Arkansas
ic cnma infprpst. in thfi
race for railroad commissioner,
and congressman, with a similar
condition in the Southern Dis
trict.
Under these conditions, es
pecially if the weather conditions
are not favorable for farm work,
the vote will be considerable in
excess of 100,000, and the can
didates may as well begin to
figure upon the man who will
win under heavy voting, being
the winner in this contest.
