The Cotton Movement.

Globe Democrat.
The cotton movement overland has been
greater than in October Of 1898. the gross
shipments reaching 23S.52l bales, which
compares with 2o6osS bales in 1880, @'l,O1'
bales in 1894 and lll,45S bales in 1889 The
greater part OF the gain this year is in
the movement via Cairo, Cincinnati and
other routes, although the shipments via
St. Louis and Louisville have also ia
creased. The movement via Parker city,
however, is little less than last year, but
appreciably greater than in 1894. The net
overland for the month is larger than tor
October last year being 1876 bales,
against 17o,G62 bales but compared with
1894. when the total was 900, i6G bales, there
is OF course rather heavy decline. The
total for the two months exceeds that Of
year ago 5S,31i bales.

Mir. r. c. Bowers, recently ar rested in Connecticut and brought back to this city on the charge of embedding the funds of the branch establishment odthe Rhodes-H verty Furniture Co, in this city, of which he was until short time ago local manager, failed to give bond late Saturday evening and is at present the guest of jailor Gibson in the Jefferson County bastile.
 reporter called on Mir. Bowers this morning to know if he had any statement to make, in re- sponse to which he reiterated his statement published in the Sunday Morning GRAPHIC that he is not an embezzler and that the firm owes him at least $l00 in com missions over his shortage. He said that he could collect what was due him in no other manner, and de cided upon his course in order to get even with the company.
 When asked about his note to Mr Fortune prior to his departure stating that he was short in his accounts and so far behind that he could not catch mp, therefore that he had determined to skip the town, Mir. Bowers stated this morning that he determined upon that course in order to keep Mir. Fortune from knowing that he received any commissions in addition to his salary and that the allegations i'll his note were untrue.
 He also states that an article pub lished in a localnewspaper Saturday afternoon to the effect that he re- fused to come back to Pine Bluff when served with the papers by Chief Stewart in Connecticut is abso- lutely false, and that he came of his own.eonsent without requiring even the formal recognition by the Gov ernor of Connecticut of the requisi- tion issued by the Governor of Ar kansas.
 Mr. Haverty, of the -Hav- erty Furniture Company, is expected to arrive in the city in few days, after which, Mir. Bowers says, when the books are examined, it will be found that he is not an embezzler, and that all charges against him will be withdrawn.
 Mir. Bowers expects to make bond and be released from jail today.

CLEVER ANSWERS.
The Pupils of the City High School Do Credit to Themselves
 and Teachers.

Prof. J. D. Clary, President of the South Arkansas Teachers Associ- ation and the accomplished and scholarly principal of the Fordyce training school, visited the City High School Friday afternoon and lee tured to the students of the higher grades. At the conclusion of his ad dress he asked the students to tell him, in three lines, why they desired an education. Thinking the answers would be of interest to many of our readers, we present a few of them below. Ten girls answered as fol- lows:
 ''I want an education to fiji me for the duties of life and to enable me to be of use to my country
 ITO fit myself for the successful performance of this life's duties.
 II want an education because l can make real success in this life in no other way"
 "Fo reach my ideal-a perfect woman, nobly planned"
 Because I want to be useful and to attain high place in life.
 '.I want an education because I intend to make ins mark in this world"
 I want an education 1l for its practical value and @ for the pleas ure it will afford me
 Because no one can ever achieve greatness without an education.
 That l may be better prepared for the duties of life. .
 Because it is the shortest road to success.
 Several boys responded as follows
 Because 1 want to be something in the world.
 '.That I may have good charac- l ter, that I may be fitted for life and | that may keep some Northern boy | out of place that Southern boy

WEBB IN LIMBO.
He Will Be Called on to Answer Two Charges--One for Arson and the Other for Resist
 ing an Officer.

| Since the 26th of March the officers of this county, township and city have been looking for one Ed Webb. On the night in question Webb is be lieved to have set the house of Geo. Goade on fire, and it was only by good work that the structure was saved from destruction.
 Webb and Goade are brothers-in- law. Some months ago Webb's wife sued for and obtained divorce and since then has made her home with her sister, the wife of Goade.
 This angered Webb, and several months ago he went to the Goade residence and created disturbance, which resulted in Goade striking him with board and breaking his arm.
 Webb vowed vengeance on Goade for the injury. and on the night of March 26th the latter's house was set on fire. warrant for Webb's arrest was issued, but he could not be found.
 Friday night Goade telephoned the officers that Webb was then in the vicinity, throwing stones Ut the for mer's house. Officers Craig and lief ferson were detailed to go and make the arrest. When the officers reached Goade's house Webb had gone, but they gave chase and over hauled hirs about a mile south of the city on the Cotton Belt road. It was then with some difficulty and danger that the arrest was made, for Webb drew a pistol and threatened the officers. He was finally over powered and brought to town and locked up.
 Goade says that Webb threw rocks on his house to induce him to come out so that he might shoot him. Both parties are white and Webb is said to be bad character.
