COTTON DETERIORATING
Says Weekly Report for Different Reasons
in Various Portions of Stale,
local Showers.
Below is the weekly crop and
weather report:
The temperature was season
able in the southern portion of
the state and comparatively cool
in the northern portion.
The rainfall was in local show
* ers and was heavy in some sec
tions, and was accompanied by
hail which did some damage to
cotton.
Cotton has deteriorated owing
to cool, wet weather in the
northeastern portion, and to in
sects, rust and shedding in other
portions. The plant is small and
late, but is fruiting fairly well,
and is opening prematurely in
some localities and slowly in
others. Some picking has been
done, but it is not general.
Early corn made a good crop;
late corn, potatoes, turnips and
field pears are doing well. Sweet
potatoes are a good crop.
Very little fall plowing has
been done and sowing of fall
grain has not begun.
Apples are a poor crop of in
ferior quality.
Pastures are good and stock
is doing w?ll except in some
southeastern counties there is
complaint of charbon among
cattle.

twenty-eight indictments thus

W. Hafner, administrator estate

to court sitting as a jury; find
ings and judgment for plaintiff

Yellow fever Comparison.
A comparison of the figures
shown by the records of the
fever epidemic of 1898 with the
figures this year, up to and in
cluding September 17, shows
most favorably for 1905. There
had been 6,926 cases of yellow
fever reported up to September
17, 1878, with 2,176 deaths, mak
ing the death rate 31.4. Up to
the same date this year the total
cases was 2,571 and of deaths
molrino- thp rlpnfVi ratp ’3
per cent. The fever started
about the same time in both
years, and the difference in re
m suits in favor of this year is due
' entirely to the modern methods
of fighting the disease and the
fS fact that the manner of trans
' B emission is now known and thor
ifei oughly understood by all medical
| men and scientists and by many
’ I laymen. —New Orleans States.

TEDDY MAY NOT COME.
-^
Quarantine Regulations May Prevent
Visit of President Roosevelt
to Arkansas.
New Orleans, Sept. 21. —While
the fact that the Arkansas au
thorities have asked ten. days’
time in which to give a definite
answer to Dr. White’s inquiry as
to whether the president’s train
caji enter the state after leaving
here has caused some disappoint
ment, it is the expectation of
the health authorities that the
situation will have sufficiently
improved by October 1 to war
rant the officials of the sister
state in then giving the desired
permission.
Meantime New Orleans is going
forward with its preparations to
receive the president, and it is
the opinion of the entire medical
fraternity that he may come
here without the slightest risk.
As has been pointed out in
these dispatches the conditions
are constantly improving, not
withstanding occasional jumps
in the number of cases, the class
ing of other types of fever in the
official list being responsible for
the unfavorable aspect that is
some times given to the situa
tion.
May Change Mountain’s Name.
“It appears that the railroad
system heretofore known as the
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain j
will soon drop the two words!
following the hyphen and be!
known as the Missouri Pacific
System,” said an observant pas
senger at the union station to a
St. Louis reporter. Continuing,
and in explanation of the above,
the gentleman called attention
to the new freight equipment, a
great deal of which coming into
Arkansas at this time being let
tered “Missouri Pacific System,”
while heretofore the words “St.
Louis, Iron Mountain & South
ern” have appeared.
The dispenser of ^information'
figured out that soon the entire j
equipment will carry the name |
of the Missouri Pacific system. |
Just what tue meaning of this is
has not yet been determined. It
is said by railroad men that this
condition of affairs has existed
but a short time, but that it has
been ndted by the road men who
come in direct and personal con
tact with the freight equipment, i
Reinsurance Outside Lega*.
Attorney General Rogers, in
an official opinion as to the rein
surance of domestic companies,
authorized to do business in Ar
kansas, by foreign companies
not authorized to do business in
the state, holds that the two
unofficial opinions previously

the fact that the first declared
such reinsurance illegal only be-1
cause the contract of reinsurance
is supposed to have been made
in the state. The second opinion j
goes on the hypothesis that the
contract of reinsurance is made
outside the state.

ary at Little Rock Thursday

REPEATS HIS CHARGE.
t
Dave Young Announces His Readiness
to Make Affidavit to His
Charge Against Governor.
Hot Springs, Sept. 21.—A
newspaper representative called
on Dave Young and asked him
if he saw the reply of Governor
Davis in answer to the letter
Young wrote to Attorney General
Rogers in regard to a transaction
in which he alleged that he gave
the governor’s private secretary
$150 under promise of not losing
anything by it. Young said:
“Yes, I see Gov. Davis calls ■
me a liar. Now it’s an easy mat- j
ter to call a man a liar when the j
only way he can reach him is by
a telephone or telegram, which
does not give the satisfaction a
person can get if called a liar to
his face.
“Every word in my letter to
Rogers was the truth and I’ll
not only stand by what I said
but will msike affidavit to it.
George Belding did not borrow
the money from me for Davis,
but I handed it to Jacobson di
rect and he returned it in the
same manner, at the same place,
each time making an appoint
ment to meet me.”
“Mr Belding was present, but
he did not intimate that he would
be responsible for the return of
the money. When I handed
Jacobson the money he said I
would lose nothing by the accom
modation.”
Mr.'Young has resided here
about 25 years, and is very gen
erally known in city and county.
It is the prevailing opinion that
Mr. Young told the truth re
garding the amounts it cost him
to secure a pardon from Gov.
Davis, and the belief is hazarded
that while ‘Bob’ Rogers is in the
“digging up” business he might
secure other letters or affidavits
concerning the governor’s con
duct that would make racy read
ing and sensational campaign
material.
Ladies Endorse the Change.
One of the boldest and most
business-like changes known to
the modern advertising and busi
ness circles is that recently made
by the National Toilet Company
of Paris, Tenn.
It appears that there were one
or two articles on the market
with names so much like Satinola
as to be liable to cause confusion
in the minds of purchasers. Sati
nola has won a national reputa
tion as a remover of freckles,
pimples, etc., and as a complex
ion beautifier. therefore its ster
ling manufacturers knew that
they could not take any chances
on the confusion and at one bold
strike retired the word . Satinola
for Nadinola.
That the new name “Nadi
nola” will soon become popular
and a favorite beautifier with the
ladies is evidenced by the numer
ous endorsements from grateful
women in nearly every state in j
the union who have tested the
virtue of this valuable prepara
tion. _ _
Another Scholarship.
The Independent holds another
$40 scholarship in the Memphis
Commercial College, good for a
complete unlimited course of
bookkeeping or shorthand, which
will be sold the first applicant
for $25.
You save $15 and get a scholar
ship in the best commercial col
lege of the Mississippi valley, or
if you prefer, the scholarship is
good at Tyler, Texas, one of the
! oldest and perhaps the best
known school of its kind in the
South.
