Wanted a Substit ute.

The Pope county Record, - pub
lished at Russellville, the home of Gov
ernor Davis contains the following
One of Governor Davis latest breaks
was an offer to the sheriff of Sharp
county free pardon and other consid
erations If he, the sheriff, would whip
4 certain ex-representative, named
Herrn, who had made himself obnox-
ious to the governor, The sheriff has
not, however, up to the present, availed
himself of the opportunity to become
the governor s bouncer.
This ism t the only spiel the governor
has made along this line. About the
first Of the year he made ex-Constable
John Evins of Illinois township, Pope
county, a magnificent offer if he would
go down to the capital city and give
"old jim Mitchell good whipping.
Evins says: Sometime about Christ
mas Governor Davis was here at home
in Albright's barber shop and as | was
passing by called me In, with the re-
mark, John, I've got job for you.
He went on to say that If would go
down to Little Rock and whip "old
Jim Mitchell he would pay my railroad
fare, bny me suit Of clothes and give
me $50. thought he was joking and
told him SO, but he replied that he was
in earnest and went on to tell how |
could do the job without duplicating
him at all, and finally wound up by
saying, OF course they will take you

| !, That the American Cotton company will
| neither sell nor rent their machines.
| 2 That those patr0nizing them are required
to sell their cotton aud cottonseed TO the com.
pany.
Taking these stock-in-trade arguments
Of Davis and Clarke, the Searcy
Times proceeds to shatter them In
the most satisfactory way yet observed
by us, 1t says;
The first Of these allegations has
been shown to be false by the fact that
the machines have been advertised both
"for sale and 'for rent and many
Of them are in the hands and possession
of purchasers or renters who are not
connected with the American Cotton
company,
The second allegation Is partially true
but not all the truth, Those who
have their cotton put up by the round
lap process have to sell to the American
Cotton company or ship to the spinners
direct, for the reason that the cotton
buyers, congresses, and bagging and
tie trusts -acting in combination or in
harmony for their own gains--are doing
all In their power to prevent the intro.
duction of the round.lap presses into
the cotton country, These are the real
enemies of the cotton producer the
giant trust that Is eating up two or three
dollars Of every bale Of cotton that
comes into their clutches, by the
square bale process bagging and ties
have to be used NJ considerable cost to
the producer, Before the cotton * sent
to the spinners Of the East or shipped
across the ocean TO Liverpool, 1t is
necessary that II be compressed and
more cost Is added that the producer
has been knocked out Of, Instead of
shipping direct TO New York, New Or
leans, Boston or other point of con
sumption or shipment, the square bales
must be shipped 10 some point whore "A
compress Ia located More cost--the
short railroad haul-that the producer
has TO lose, SO that by the square bale
process, including the COMPRISING and
shorthaul railroad charge and the ex
pense Of bagging and ties, the producer
Is the loser over u half cent on every
pound Of cotton raised, These eSpense'
are avoided by the round.lap process
which requires no ties and very liltl,
cotton bagging, no COMPRISING an(
no short haul by rail n Is ready foi
direct shipment TO points OF m anulac
ture or shipment abroad On accoun
of the combined action against th,
round-lap bale, by which the buyer
will not handle the round bale, III,
