aud southern farmers were tryisg to get on solid ground by close economy. This year western farm CTS, with their magnificent corn crop aud fair wheat yield, added to higher prices for live stock, will be n clover, and their southern brethren will wind up the season with less debt and more spending money on hand than for years Add to thls fact that every railroad is taxed to it's utmost; that the iron trade is crowded as never before. with sales year ahead at magniG- cent profts; that nearly all other branches of trade are doing equally as well, and we have a uniform cor ditlon of activity and pros gert. such as has not been seen for a Tor 2 time.

WHAT IS TO BE ooNE2

Our reporter called upon Judge Jones this Wednesday, morning relative to the case of Ben Doyle, wno is confined in the Jefferson connty jail. Doyle is insane. We learn from County Judge Jones that the asylum at Little Rock is full; let ters to that effect were shown our reporter from Dr. Hooper, who is superintendent of the State asylum. In yesterdays s Graphic we published an article captiOned "A Pittable Sight" which referred to the case of Ben Doyle. Judge Jones says that he ordered the iailor to get clothing for Doyle. but that it was useless, for Doyle would not let them stay on him. It is impossible for the Judge to do anything in the premises, so he says, because the asyl lum is full; and consequently, Doyle must languish in jail. Similar eases of this kind have prevailed in the past. During the time that Dr. Thompson was sheriff there was a pitiable case akin to the one at present. Nothing was done for the insane man at that time, and he languished in the Jeffer- son county jail for year. Medlcal aid of some kind should be given Doyle, for he is a pitiable sight. He is deaf and dumb in all his actions; will not speak and apparently wants nothing. The county physician, we are informed, was sick yesterday, and could not attend Doyle. Judge Jones says that in view of the fact that his hands are tied to the extent that he can't place Doyle in the asy- lum. being as it is >overcroWded, It IS the duty of the sheriff of the county to take care of him. A deputy this morning informed our reporter that as Doyle was "thrust" upon them they would take care of him; but as far as 1t is being "their duty, " that was out of the question. Atall events, the insane man will langulsa fn jail.

Tenn, and has remained in constar t service tor the last ten years. He says there is nothing like Uncle Sans army; it is truly the best in the world. From a private. he has climbed to sergeant, lieutenant, and through his brave deeds at the bat. tie of San Juan Hill, with his com. pany, he was promoted to a captain. cy.
 The Captain now belongs to the 18th and 49th infantry and expects to see service in the Philippines When his duties here are over he will leave for Jefferson Barracks, and expects to be at Manila on or about December 25th.
 The Captain was born at Starks vile, Miss. 29 years ago on March 3ist. His promotion in the army of which he has spent the better part of his life, has been deserved by him. He says: I expect to live and die fighting for Uncle Sam.

THE NEW BANK.
Cotton Belt Mutual Savings kssocia
 ton Will Open This Week.

The Cotton Belt Savings Associ ation will open their new bank at the corner of East Barraque and Main street tomorrow. Their place of business heretofore has been where it was organized, at tue Cot ton Belt shops. Mir. J. E. Boyce, who has been secretary of it since it's birth, will remain in the same capacity as heretofore. Their place of business is fitted up nicely and neatly with new bank fixtures from St. Lo1is This is indeed the poor mans, widows and orphans bank. Quincy. H., and St. Louis and oth- el places have these institutions, and they have redounded greatly to the financial benefit of the poor man, while at the same time aiding the owners of the bank. Interest will also be paid on deposits, which will be quite an inducement to many depositors; and we believe the bank will have that which It justly de- serves, the trade, not only of the iaborer who works for small pit. tance each month, but from the men who lend their money and have plenty thereof, as well. The enter prising gentlemen are to be con
 graduated in their uneeasing labors thus far, and their savings bank will be of great assistance to tPe laboring people and small deposit- ors. The officers of the association are: R. M. Galbraith, president; T. H. Osborne, vice-president; J. E. Boyee, secretary and treasurer, whish insures wise and conserya- tive management. We wish the new institution success.

Prices charged in this bill are in line with the mal- ket as it is today, and are subject to further change without notice. '" From this it will be seen tLat the tendency in the price of paper is steadily upward, in conseq uence of which printers will soon be forced to advance their prices on all kinds of printed stationery.

Fighting to Begin at 5 O'Clock Today Unless Ultimatum is
 Complied With.

LONDON. Oct. 1.-The Tfansvaal ultimatum, whichi> signed by F. W. Reitz, Secretary of State and which was received yesterday, concludes with the following four demands: tirst-That ali points of mutual difference be regulated by friendly re- course to arbitration or by what ever amieable way may be agreed upon by this government and her Maipsty's government.
 Seeond-That all troops on the borders af this republic shall be in- stantly withdrawn.
 Third-That all endorsements of troops which have arrived in South Africa since June 1. 1899, shall be re- moved from sSouth Africa within reasonable time to be agreed upon with this government, and with the mutual assurances guarantee on the part of this government that no at- tack upon, or hostiIities against any portion of the possessions of the British government shall be made by this republic during the further negotiations within a period of time to be subsequently agreed upon be- tween the governments; and this government will, on compliance herewith, be prepared to withdraw the armed butghers Of this republic from the borders.
 Fourth-That her Maiesty's s troops which are now on the high seas shall not be landed in any part of South Africa.
 To these demands is appended the dennition of the time limit for a re- ply.
 This government presses for an immediate and an affirmative an swer to these four questions and earnestly requests her Maiesty's government to return an answer before or upon Wednesday October II, 1899, and not later than o'clock D. m.
 Tt desires further to add that of the unexpected event of an answer not satisfactory being received by it within the interval it will, with great regret be compelled to regard the action of her Maiesty's government as a formal declaration of war and will not hold itself re- sponsibIe for the correctness thereof, and that in the event of any further movement of troops occurring within the above mentioned time in nearer direction to our borders, this government will be compelled to regard that also as formal de claration of war.
