-l77---77'l-7-17- 71'-l'7-7-7l-- Cotton " oltn Convention

The Arkansas Democrats Alma cor
 respondent of December 1 says:
 The farmers of Crawford county are
 enterprisiug people. They intend to
 raise cotton, worms or no worms. and
 have called n convention to meet at
 Alma December 2S to discuss the best means of defending them mseyes
 from the work of this insect.
 This is move in the right direction. There is hardly anything that earnest,
 intelligent effort cannot overcome. The
 cotton-worm seems to be u steadily in- creaSing menace to the successful grow ing of cotton in this state. The time was when the eotton-worm was hardly known or only destructive once in a score or so of years. but now every year we hear of the injuries which often are counted by thousands of dollars. It is certainly time that the farmers through out the cotton growing parts of the
 state should arouse themselves and prepare to wage war upon it.
 Be sure you are right, then go ahead seems to be the motto of the Crawford county farmers. They do not intend to accept in blind sort of way any sug- gestion that they may come across, but have called this convention tn thor oughlv discuss these suggestions to
 view them in the light that scienee hs, thrown oli the economy and life bf this insect-and this is the way to be ena- bled ,ntelhgeutiy to adopt measures for it's destruction. Crawford county has
 started, why not keep the ball rollingg

spasnlodic Adversisinr.

Speaking of the uselesSness of spas. modic and irregular advertising the Clotlier and Furuisher. New York, says: !" Ii you want to be healthy you must eat regularly, as meat to-day will not serve you for meat tomorrow To be prosperous in business advertise regularly. Stop one and you starye and die. Stop tho other and your bus mess takes consumption and dies also. Spasmodie advertising is like having q feast and famine'-more famine than feast as general rUle-and is never satisfactory To take out your card in dull times is like killing yoat horse be- cause he is . little lame. lu dull times advertising is the most effective, as more notice is taken of printers ink than any other time"

THE Forrest City Register comments at length on the Sun's recent editorial on the gubernotorial outlook. The Register aecords in the main with the suns views, but seems inclined toward Van E. lzard, or Forrest Ci.y, for the office of governor We have not the slightest objection to Mir. Izard, or any one else whom the democracy may choose, but there are hundreds of men who have greater claims on the position than he. Mir. I2ard is good man, but all good men cannot be elected Cover nor. The simple fact that man has
 been successful business man, n colonel, and has won the confidence and respect Of his immediate nei2hbors does not entitle hin lo this eSal,ed po- sition A combination of brilliapt Y
 aud brains will he called upon to lill
 the governo s office next year. Ak
 ansa5 has celrograded just a little too
 much Monroe County San. Nov. B. TnE TIMES has no authority to gay
 that Col Van 5. Izard is or will be
 a candidate for governor aext gear.
 There is plenty of time to get oat the
 horses for the race. If, however, Colo
 mel lZard becomes a candidate, he is as
 deserving as another, and can perhaps
 furnish as much brains as any man sug-
 sested by the Sun. We do not wish to
 discuss candidates now. Let us devote
 a little time to encouraging enterprise
 and bringing about happiness among
 the people

Negro Emigration.

AsIIISGToN, Dec. l2 - Senator But Ter introduced a bill today to provide for the emigration of persons of color from the southern states of the United
 States. It provides that the head of any family, or himself, if not married, may make application to the nearest United States commissioner, under oath, setting forth the fact that he de sires to emigrate to a foreign country for permanent residence and cilizen- ship, and that he is too poor to pay the cost of transportation. certificate ot this statement shall he forwarded by the commissioner to the quartermaster- general of the army, who shall there upon furnish to said applicant the necessary transportation by the cheapest route For this purpose the bill appropriates the sum of s5,OJ0 ,0Ni,

TIE Boston laoor convention a few days ago passed resolution dem and ing an eight-hour law Very few men are able to do days work in ei5ht hours. and all the resolutions adopted by labor conventions will not alter mat ters. Circumstances will always con trol the number of hours man must work. If employers should adopt the eight hour plan an equitable reduction of salaries must follow, and the wages now paid in most branches of industry are already so low that any further re- duction would mean starvation for the workmen and their families.

ruE SWEET SEE.

Following is all that was known of the Sweet damage suit up to the hour of going to press-2 o'clock Friday af- ternoon, it being the text of special sent to the Little Rock Gazette on Thursday night:
 "lhe arguments in the $50 900 dam. age suit of $. E. Sweet, pending in the federal court, were closed this after noon by MT. Malone, of Memphis, and the case committed to the jury in q short, terse and fair charge. Judge Caldwell's instructions were more fa- vorable to Sweet than to the cause of the defendants. He quoted the consti- tuition of the United States and the con stitution oi this state as to the definition of the rights of citizens and declared that to put into exile citizen of Arkan- sas was right not reserved to the state itself, and certainly no such right could exist in any committee, public meeting or conspiracy of citizens, such as took that liberty with the rights of citizens.
 The charge was reduced to writing for the use of the jury. The jury re- tired to their room and elected fore man and adjourned until after supper. Owing to the large number of defend ants and the volume oi evidence, it is not likely that d verdict will be reached before toworrow afternoon

rh. First Bale nfRnm,s.

A recent issue of the New York Times says: There was exhibited on the cotton exchange yesterday the first bale of thoroughly degummed and pre- pared ramie ever made in this country. In the degunmed state. when 1t is ready for spinning, ramie looks a good deal like cotton, and it is intended that it shall be put to good many of the uses to which cotton is now devoted. It will also serve as good substitute for silk. The ramie exhibited was pre- pared by the Ramie Spinning and Man ufacturing company by method which was purchased some time ago from Jules Ferry, the French statesman. The ramie stalks will grow perennially in the cotton belt, and they have been extensively planted there. It is ex- pected that it will become one of the staples of the South. The seed for planting was obtained by the govern
 ment some years ago from China.

 Never in the history of Memphis has there been such movement in grain IS
 at the present moment, when all our
 railroad freight yards are crowded with hundreds of cars filled with wheat, the handling of which is serious question. 1 This Is the result of choke up on all l the Eastern lines running out of the l Western grain canters. There are now
 ? 900 cafs loaded with grain damming the roads all the way tu New York and 1 Baltimore, ant the Chicago elevator ! men declare that 5u 0uo more cars are
 needed to handle the grain and relieve 1 the pressure This is bad state of 1 things fer the Eastern seahoard cities, l bat 1t is about to inure to cur profit. and | that of the South Atlantic and Gull ports. Chicago and Kansas City, as
 well as St. Louis, are looking this way | for relief, and are about t0 find 1t. The Louisville, New Orleans X Texas Rail- road company has contracted to handle l l 0D, ,oo0 bushels of grain, anu has pnr-
 chased three new large steamers to put them in the trade between New Orleans and Liverpool. SD aS to take advantage | of the present emergency and establish a regular trade in grain Hhe kausas 1 City, Memphis X Birmingham Railroad company has also contracted to handle 1 500 ,o00 bushels of grain for shipment Ut l Brunswick and Savannah, Georgia and the Illinois Central Railroad company has contracted to handle 70o, ,000 bushels,
 in addition to its regular trade for l shipment at New Orleans All this is 1 in the highest degree encouraging. The Mississippi river is the natural highway
 of the valley which embraces all the 1 great grain growing states and gain l dealing eenters, and the lines of railroad l that follow it's course in its descent to | the sea must become the great arteries
 of trade from the West. and must In l time concentrate their influence and powers for the upbuilding of New Or leans, Mobile, Galveston and Pensacola, :,

TiE Memphis newspapers have not only los, the sale of thousands of extra papers, but have serely disappointed the thousands who regularly buy those pa. pers, by their inexensahle neglect of the damage suit against thirty-three prom inent citizens of this city. A proper regard for their patrons wishes, 1t seems to us. would have prompted the Memphis papers to have reported the details of this case. As an instance of very bad management these papers gave columns to the Cronin case, which very few people in the South cared to read, and nothing to the Sweet case. in
 which everybody was deeply interested.

 Seldom has so labored an appeal ill behalf of strengthening the central pow CT of the government and reducing the power of the states been made by any politician as the presidents message contains. President Harrison displays throughout a desire to grasp all the power of government to crush the white men in tue South who will not vote the republican ticket, and to force negro domination.
 Thus the President of the United States puts himself on record as a south hater, filled with mslignity he hopes to convert into pfoscriptiye sec tional legislation.
 Very naturally, in seeking to perform such work, the president turns to men like Clayton in Arkansas, Yarmouth in Louisiana, Malone in Virginia and Chalmers in Mississippi. He long ago constituted Clayton president of Ark ansas, by consulting him alone in the distribution If offices. He relies on Clayton to grind Arkansas in another reconstruction mill, if congress can be indueed to furnish the necessary ma chinery. IL is hoped that the desired machinery will he ready by next year.
