ADDRESS TO COTTON MEN
President Burnett Urges Them to Stand Firm-Need Feel no Alarm at Slump in Cotton-Other News of the State.
Advice to Cotton Growers.

President B. H. Burnett of the Ar kansas branch of the Southern Cotton association, has issued an address to the people of the state advising them to stand firm in the face of the recent fall in cotton prices. and to adhere to the associations plan of concerted ac- ton relative to holding cotton for 10 cents and reducing the acreage p per cont. The substance of the address Is that cotton having taken another slump in price. the president fears some members may loose heart and sell their holdings. Concerning this, he says, :.
 q know it is somewhat diseourag- ing to see the merchants in some parts of the state selling their cotton. but we must remember that this is largely cotton that has been bought by them since the great fall in prices, and was bought in many cases at from 5A to 61k cents, and We must also remember that it was this great holding movement" that caused the rrice to advance to 71a and cents, thereby enabling the merchants to make a profit of from s4 to s6 per bale So it is the man who grew the cotton that has made the sacrifice, and not the merchant who bought and sold it at profit have been reli- ably informed that the great state of Arkansas sold her cotton at cents on the very day the Southern Cotton association was in session at Little Rock AS I see it, we are the people who made it possible for them to sell at that price, and I for one very much

Boom in the Mining Belt.

The advanced price of zinc ore and the fact that the White River railroad is nearing completion, is stimulating the owners of mineral land throughout the zinc belt, and development and mining work are commencing on a large scale. Several non-residents are now in the district preparing to begin work. and many others are express. ing the intention of coming and begin ming work as soon as they are assured that winter is over The route taken by the St. Louis and North Arkansas railroad missed the majority of the developed mines in the district. but new developments along the line are bringing in some nice properties that will be shipping soon.

Amendment Not Adopted.

Circuit Judge A. B. Grace has ren. dered an oral opinion at Star City in the quo warranto proceedings of R. R. Rice vS. H. D. Palmer, involving the petition of the circuit and county clerk of Lincoln county. He held that constitutional amendment No 3, au- thorizing the governor to fill official vacancies by appointment, was not legally adopted, and was not part of the constitution. and that. therefore the appointing power Is no, yet vest ed in the governor. AS to a vacancy Judge Grace ruled that the clerk is elected for two years. and as B. A. Meroney, who was elected in Septem. Der, died before qualifying. Palmer could only hold until his successor is elected and qualified. He held that there was a vacancy in the office, but that it could only be filled by proc. lamation of the governor calling a special election. Notice of an appeal to the supreme court was given by the attorneys for Capt. Rice. This case will take before the supreme court for the first time the question as to whether proposed constitu- tional amendment must receive a ma jority of all the votes cast in a gen. eral election in order to become a part of the constitution.

IS DEVELOPED IN MYSTERY
While the Chemists Have Founl
 They Have Net Found Poison.

Honolulu March 7.-There is a re. port in circulation here which is con. sidered to be we'll founded. to the ef- feet that the chemists have failed to find strychnine in the organs of Mrs Stanford analysed by them, but that they have found indications of the poi. son. and will probably so testify at tho inquiry, saying that while the pres. ence of strychnine was not developed by the analysis, they are convinced of it's presence.
 There is no opportunity just now to verify this report. The chemists have again resumed work on the organs of the stomach. and it is understood have written part of their report Monday the chemists conferred with High Sheriff Henry Judge Stanley, at torney for the Stanford interests, and J. F. Hackfeld. who represents the Stanford estate here. This conference was held in the laboratory of the board of health.
 1t is likely that Miss Berther Berner and Miss May Hunt, secretary and maid respectively to Mrs. Stanford. will remain here for the steamer on which the body will be conveyed to San Francisco.
 High Sheriff Henry has engaged . room at the Moana hotel in which to hold the inquest.
 It is the intention to hold the inquest .n private.
 After a consultation with the chem ists, the high sheriff told the corre- spondent that he knew no more as to whether or not strychnine had been found in the organs than he did at first.

regret that our officials should so far disregard the interests of the people as to strike this great movement so severe a blow We are making the fight of our lives, fight we must win, or financial ruin stares us in the face
 The spectators are doing every thing in their power to break our ranks They are telling us the pres ent price is too high. in view of the big crop (they say We have). and yet when we hold cotton off the market they run the price up to to 8 cents. and when the people begin to sell pretty freely they drop the price back again.
 This convinces me that the price will be just what we make it. The spectators have made contracts for future delivery, and they will soon have to buy the cotton to fill their or ders they cannot spin futures; they must have the cotton, and it is up to the farmer to say at what price they shall buy it. All We have to do is to hold the cotton, reduce the acreage diversity the crop; in short. make our living at home. and we have the bat tlC won And we will see the south bud and bloom like the rose

The district of Hot Springs that was destroyed by the great fire is now cov- cred with tents The relief commit tee secured a large number of tents belonging to the state militia. which had been stored since the en- campment of the state guard two years ago. and has issued them to those whose houses were destroyed.

The Record is willing to admit that
President Roosevelt mas many person
al qualities that are admirable and
worthy of emulation-but when Rev.
Frank Gunsaulus of Chicago compares
him with Jesus Christ, we think 1t is
time for the Mysteries to stop. Roose-
welt is personally popular because he
has lived both east and west and
taken an active part in many phases
of American life. He is able to meet
many classes of people on their own
ground and t o understand and use
the colloquialisms of the clodhopper
as well as the polished language of
the college professor-but he is only
an average American with a little
more than the average experience.
He is admired by many people be-
cause he stands for things that all
ordinary Americans have in their
minds. 1t is only when he happens to
express the thought of the common
people thai Roosevelt wins friends
and gets credit for craftsmanship.

An interesting commentary upon
the growth of different sections OF
New Mexico is furnished by the fact
that the homestead and desert land
entries in the county of Eddy, during
the past fiscal year, exceeded those
of the entire Santa Fe land district
by $4,000 acres. Although the Ros-
well land district is smaller than the
Santa Fe district. yet the entries
made during the past fiscal year at
the land Office at Roswell exceeded
those made at the land Office at San
ia Fee by $1,000 acres. The home
stead entries covered 1O7,794 acres,
Eddy county leading with $3.50 acres

entries amounting to 1902 acres TO
it's credit during the past fiscal year;
Otero county. also partly in the dis
trict, $50 acres, and Torrance county,

tries Eddy county is also a leader with
77,483 acres, Chaves coming second
with $4,000 acres less and Roosevelt
county third with only 40 acres. Eddy
county is also a leader in lien selec-
lions, having covered 1927 acres,
Chaves being a close C with
