RECEIVES CALL
FROM PRESIDENT.

Little Rock, May 19.-Hon. Charles D. Greaves of Hot Springs, one of the leaders of the anti Clayton faction of Arkansas Republicans, known as the insurgents, received summons from President Roosevelt today calling him to Washington at once. It is not known what the president wants with MT. Greaves, but it is believed that the summons has some political sig nificance, as MT. Greaves is about to announce his candidacy for governor against Hon. Harry H. Meyers who will be nominated for that position by the regulars in June.

REMOVAL OF DIVISION.

Walnut Ridge, Ark, May 21.-Gen- eral Superintendent Cotter with Di- vision Superintendent Hartigan of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway, were here last week looking over the land lying between this place and Hoxie, with the intention of To- eating the Missouri division, which is to be removed from Poplar Bluff, Mo. Finding the location suitable, and that the citizens, both here and at Hoxie, would donate same to the company, they immediately sent surveyors to lay off the land that they might as certain amount wanted and name of owners. Deeds will probably be se- cured this week. Orders have been given to sell and remove the large hotel now on their right way, as they will probably erect a modern passenger depot on this location. The passing of this hostelry is the de- struction of one of the landmarks. It was built in 1872 by Mrs. Boas, and many noted people have been enter tained there, among them Samuel J. Tilden, General Grant, w. T. Sher- man, Sam J. Randall. Having been the railroad eating house it's fame has gone abroad into all lands.

CROP PROSPECTS FAVORABLE.
Cotton Coming Up To Good Stands Corn Reports Favorable-Local Showers Have Been Beneficial
 But Rain Is Needed Tn
 Many Sections.

Higher temperatures with generally we'll distributed rains were the char acteristic features of the weather dur ing the week, and crops of all kinds were greatly benefited thereby, but in some localities rain is needed for oats and for the germination of late- planted cotton. Cotton generally is up to good stands, the plant looks healthy and vigorous, and is being chopped out rapidly. Some few cor respondents report cotton as being in the grass. Corn is up to good stands in most sections, and is making good growth. Most of it has been plowed the first time, and in some localities is being plowed the second time. Some of the late planted has been so badly damaged by bugs that it will have to be replanted. In few isolated cases wheat and oats are reported as being almost failure, but on the whom very favorable reports are received in regard to the condition and prob able yield of these crops. Oats, how ever, would be benefited by rain. Irish potatoes are up to good stands, and the prospects are favorable for a good crop. In some localities, how ever, considerable damage has been done by bugs. Fruits of all kinds eX- cept apples, continue to present fav- orable prospects. In many localities apples are reported to be in poor con- dition, and have commenced to drop off.

ELECTRICITY SURPASSED.
The New Gas Light Attracts Much Attention and Promises To Secure Large Patronage. Process of Machine and Facts of
 Interest.

The Climax gas machine owned and operated by the Citizens Gas and Fuel Company of this city, is won derful invention, and for the past ten days has produced the most beauti- ful and steady light ever seen in this city, and it is constantly growing in favor with the community. In the stores where the light is in use, the quality and fabric of goods are brought out as never seen before un- der any artificial light.
 The process of making this gas is very interesting and the ladies and gentlemen of the city are invited to call at the power house in the rear of MT. Redman's drug store and inspect the workings of the plant any evening between the hours of and o'clock, when MT. c. J Johnson, of St. Louis. and MT. E. o. Darlington, the gen eral agent for the United States, will be pleased to explain the full process of making gas. This plant is the first and only plant of it's kind run by au- tomatic steam power.
 Water power is used elsewhere by this company but not steam. This steam apparatus is a unique fascinat- ing little affair and looks as though it might have been made by the 'cliff dWellers" of Colorado, but it was not. It works automatically, shutting off and turning on it's own fire when in full blast,-in a word caring for it's own safety and utility.
 The gas machine is a marvel of ingenuity and by the scientific com- bination of air and gasoline in the car bureter, a hydro carbon gas is made of 1-2 times the candle-power per | cubic foot of coal gas. This machine
 manufactures the gas only as it is consumed by the burner, no storage
 of gas being required, and when all
 lights are turned off, the machine
 stops automatically, but will start it's self when one light is turned on and
 will work on day and night and give
 15,OO0 candle power of light at any
 time it is wanted.
 It produces the best quality of illu-
 minating and fuel gas ever made.
 The gas gives more than double the
 brilliancy of light than gas made the
 old way from coal, and for cooking
 it surpasses all other kinds of fuel.
 No ashes, dirt or odor, but furnishes
 cooked food with all the natural flavor
 retained in it, making "dish fit for a
 king" and 1-2 gallon of coffee can be
 made in minutes, thus losing none
 of the ''aroma". One gallon of water
 can be brought to the boiling point in
 minutes on any ordinary gas stove
 burner. This gas produces with one
 mantle light of 1885 candle power.
 The power aud brilliancy of this light
 was tested one night last week in this
 city by gentleman from Little Rock,
 reading newspaper article out loud
 at a distance of 1858 feet from the | light. We wish the Citizens Gas and
 Fuel Go. all success in their enter
 prise.

"Politics makes strange bed-fel-

Three millionaires are contesting

A millionaire is in control of the re-

COTTON SOLD AT GOOD PRICE.
State Has Just Made a Sale of Four
Hundred Bales.

Georgia is doing something in the
way of farming on its own account, as
a few days ago the prison commission
sold 407 bales of cotton raised on the
prison farm last year. The cotton
brought 8.95 cents per pound, and was
sold to George Smith, OF Milledgeville,
the total price paid being SIG, 2l0, gin
rates. The state prison farm has not
been 'in operation more than three or
four years, but it is already showing
itself to be one of the foremost paying
institutions, at least among those con-
nected with the penitentiary system.
Besides the cotton large amount of
meats and other products
are raised there every year. This is
an excellent showing, and now that
the size of the farm has bee increas-
ed bv something like 400 acres there
is no doubs that it will show much
better results.

less something at present unfore-

Unless something at present untore-
seen:should occur it will not be long
before Dawson is the possessor of some
thing she has long been needing and
wanting-a cotton factory.
Leading business men of the city
are behind the enterprise, and they
are not going at the project in any
spirit of play, either They mean to
have cotton factory or "bust the
traces" trying.
Dawson has had several cotton fac
tories in Imagination and on paper, but
from the way things appear now she is
soon to have one in reality. The men
who want one are grimlY determined
to have their wishes gratifed, and to
this end they will work with system
and untiring effort until the anticipa-
ton evolves into realization.
The proposed cotton factory is to be
built at an expenditure of at least
100000, possibly $150,00O. The nee
essary money is to be raised by public
subscription, shares to be sold at a
par value of 800 each 1t is hoped
and believed by the promoters of the
enterprise that home capital will see
the desirability OF contributing the
full amount needed. Every opportuni-
ty will be given the people of Dawson
and Terrell county to contribute to

DRAFTS ON CANDIDATES.
State House officials Are Beginning to
Wear a Weary Look.

An Atlanta dispatch says the state
house officials are commencing to re-
ceive requests for contributions to
campaign expenses in many of the
counties of the state. These requests
ask for amounts ranging from 81 to $40
and say that the money will be used
for printing tickets and defraying
other expenses of like character.
While the amounts usually asked for
are small, the number is so large that
in the aggregate they amount to
considerable sum. But the troubles of
the average candidate do not end
there. Other contributions are asked
for and made by them, and these
appeals are for all sorts of things.
1t is noticeable that commencing
with the openings of these campaigns
every two years there is boom in the
building of churches, or if already in
existence it has been discovered that
new organ is needed in some
churches, while others need new car
pets on their floors, or new fences
around the church lots, and the candi-
ates have to assist in these improve
ments. All of this being so, the state
house officials are now wearing a
weary look and sigh for the end of the
campaign.

to make the enterprise strictly home

necessary cannot be secured here OUT
side capital will be invited to take the

an invitation will be all that is neces-
sary to secure the taking of these re-

advantages of plant here, backed by

cipally in charge. He Informs a rep

should go of sudden radically wrong,
