THE COTTON SCHOOL AT CONWAY
Good Work Being Done by the
Farmers Union Toward Hand
ling Cotton Crop
To The Newark Journal:

10 Lie newark journal:
Conway, Aug. 19.-Will YOU
please allow me space in your
valuable paper to say to the farm
-6rs and especially the Farmers
Union of old independence county
that the Cotton School at Conway
has sbeen a decided success and
no doubt will prove to be one of
the most important steps that has
ever been made in the interest of
the cotton growers of the South.
We have eighty students in atten-
dance, representing three different
states.
wish also to say to- the people
that on August Ii state organi-
zation of the warehouse managers
and cotton. statesmen was effected
at Conway. to be known as the Ar
kansas Farmers Union Warehouse
Managers Association, which will
include in its mem bership all
union warehouse managers in the
state.
The object of the association, in
part, is to bring the warehouses
management into touch and more
direct relationship looking to the
perfecting of an intelligent and
systematic plan for conducting the
warehouse and cotton business Of
the state.
We consider this an important
outgrowth of the cotton school,
and we believe that this organiza-
ton, bringing together as it does
the entire warehouse management
of the state in one body and under
one system, will prove highly
beneficial, and will go further to-
ward accomplishing the purpose
of the Farmers Union than any
thing that could be done. It is
intended to hold at least one meet
ing each year, and as many more
as the president may deem best
for the success of the work.
James w. Lewis of Newnata,
Stone county was elected president,
with w. B. Tomason of Pine Bluff,
secretary treasurer.
The association begins with a
good strong membership and we
predict successful future for it.

Government Reports Show In

and Tobacco Consumed

Washington, Aug. 20.-Gov,
eminent statistics show that the
habits of the people of the United
States are undergoing no marked

people drink more spirituous and
malt liquors last year than ever
before in our history, and burn
and chew more tobacco, but the
amount was all out of proportion
to the increase in population.
At the internal revenue bureau
the receipts during the year which
ended June 80, 1907, show that of
beer there was consumed last year

During the year 5,151, 1862, 100

FROM The RED MANS COUNTRY
Former Arkansas Lady Sends
Cheering Message From the
Indian Territory
TO The Newark Journal

10 The Newark Journal
Milburn, 1. T., Aug. 16.-The
journal reaches here on the noon
train Sunday and | enjoy the rest
of the day reading the news from
the old state / love so we'll. |
think it the cleanest little paper l
ever saw, and | think it was q
great power in the grand fight you
people made when you showed the
blind tigers out of your little city.
That was the first step toward the
big revival at that place; for God
says no good thing will He with
hold from those that walk up
rightly.
We have some few preachers
out here, but they can't preach
like Bros. Dye and Jernigan, l
am praying that God may send
some good workers out in this
wild country. Our church houses
out here are mostly log cabins and
rough board shanties. There are
some few good church houses in
the towns.
But this is fine country and
there is lots of fine land out here,
and if we get statehood we will
soon have good churches and
schools. But my advice to those
who are enjoying all these good
things and have good homes in
Old Arkansas is, that they had
better stay with them.
We are blessed with plenty of
rain and have good crops here this
year. And while you are suffering
for rain, | am praying that before
this letter reaches you, you will
have a good rain.
Now, let the old soldiers of the
cross in your town encourage those
new converts; and lead them on
and on. Lend them a helping
hand; show them the way; talk
and pray with them; teach them
the way; help them to grow strong.
See that Jesus gets the whole
town and country.
| want to thank Mrs. John
Rodgers for her kindess for send
ing me TheJournal and the editor
for publishing such a nice clean
paper. Mrs. E. j. BROOK.

WILL TEST TWO-CENT RATE

Little Rock, Aug. 20.-It is re-
liably stated that the Iron Noun
tain, Cotton Belt and Frisco Rail-
way Companies will shortly file
suits in the United States District
Court in this city to have the two
cent passenger rate law declared
null and void. The companies
claim that the rate is confiscatory
and that fair test has been given
the law, which shows it works out
a heavy loss to the companies.
