Rains and Wintry Weather.
A cold northwest wind con
cluded a day of sunshine and
warmth Sunday afternoon and
was followed at night by a hea
vy rainfall. Cotton picking
prospects have taken another
drop and unless November
proves a different kind of month
from October, the crop in this
section will be partially lost and
the farmers sustain losses run
ning into many thousands of
dollars.
As a further result of contin
ued rains, the roads are getting
in bad condition and the levees
across Village Creek bottom on
the main roads out of this city
at the Island, Litchfield, Murphy
and Holden bridges are almost
impassable in places.
The Mink hill on the road to
Grubbs is a veritable bog. the
far end of the Litchfield levee is
in bad condition and the island
levee is even worse, while there
are planks out of both the island
and Litchfield bridges that make
a night crossing of them danger
ous.
The levees will never be good
roads until they are rocked and
while this work would be expen
sive, it ought to be started with
in the next year and one of these
le*-ees at least macadamized ad
ding another each year or all of
oner if the finances of
this road district will permit it.
But some temporary woik on
these bridges and levees is need
ed now, or the farmers living
upon the other side will be una
ble to haul their cotton here. The
business interests of the city
1 and the welfare of the people liv
j ing east of Village creek are
both at stake and prompt re
lief ought to be afforded.
World Temperance Movement.
Special to Independent.
New York, Oct.24.—Reports
of the committees showing the
result of a world movement a
gainst intemperance, and a
large increase in membership,
were the important matter dis
cussed at today’s sessions of the
World’s Convention of the Wom
en’s Christian Union, which
convened here yesterday to re
main in session six days. An
other important feature of to
day’s meetings was discussion of
the successful campaign for
membership and the fight
against the spread of the sale of
intoxicating liquor in New Zeal
| and and Australia.
The 500 delegates today in
formally discussed a world-wide
i campaign which, if plans do not
1 miscarry, will be instituted in
I every country in the world
where liquors are sold, some
! time during the ensuing year.
This fight, will be carried into
more than fifty countries and na
tions.

Cotter May Go “Wet.”
Batesville, Oct. 2.—It is said
here that the operation of the
new liquor law will have the ef
fect of putting saloons in towns
where there are now none. Cot
ter now is dry by the operation
of the three-mile law, allowing
people within a radius of three
miles to have a voice in the
matter. But with the law al
I lowing a majority of the adult
L whites to sign petitions, it is
said that Cotter is more than
likely to be a “wet” town. There
are one or two other towns a
long the White river division,
where it is said a majority ot
the adult whites will sign a pe
Itition to license saloons.
