TWO YEARS IN THE PEN
Otis Brooks Found Guilty of MansIaugh-
 fer in HempSiead Circuit Court.

The trial of Otis Brooks, who was indicted for murder in the Hampstead circuit court, was begun yesterday morning at Washington and ended last night at 10 o'clock, by the jury re- turning a verdict of manslaught- CT and sentencing him to two years in the penitentiary.
 The defense was represented by Hamby X Haynie, of this city, while the interests of the state were cared for by Prosecuting Attorney Graves.
 The crime for which Brooks was tried was the killing of a man by the name of Pullman at Hope in December, 1904, and the trial which ended last night was the third one in the case. In the other two trials hung jury re suited.
 The details of the killing are still quite familiar to our people. Implicated with MT. Brooks in the affair was a MT. Casey, who was tried and acquitted more than a year ago, on the plea of self defense. Mir. Brooks en tered a similar plea, and was in Prescott this morning interview ing Mir. Hamby regarding an ap- peai of his case to the supreme court, which will be done at once
 Mr. Brooks is a son of Isham Brooks, former resident of our county, and the family have many friends in this vicinity who trust that the young man may meet favor, and as they believe, justice. at the hands of the su- preme court.

specis. to the News.

Little Rock, Oct. 16-The en- tertainment of the English Spin ners by the people of this city was one of the most elaborate ever seen here. At the Hotel Marion last night a banquet was spread for the visitors and a most pleasant occasion was the result. The speech of Gov. X. o. Prindall was as follows:
 The State of Arkansas is glad to have within her borders repre- sentatives of the cotton spinning industries of Europe, and repre- senting our state in the capacity of Governor, in the name of all the people of this commonwealth l take pleasure in welcoming these estimable gentlemen. We regard their presence here as of the order things, and in keeping with the general fitness of events and so agreeable is it to the in terests which 1 represent to re- ceive the courtesy paid by visit from this distinguished company l feel at liberty to say for our people, I extend to you gentle men an enthusiastic welcome.
 Our state being essentially for the most part agricultural, and cotton our chief product, as the representative of the pro ducers of this staple, some words in eulogy thereof may be inter esting to those who spin into use. ful form the raw product, which we of Arkansas produce. Re flecting, 1 can find no words of eulogy more useful than the lan- guage of the lamented Grady, who said of cotton: What roy al plant it is. The world waits in attendance upon it's growth The shower that falls upon it's leaves is heard around the earth The sun that shines upon it is tempered by the prayers of the people. The frost that chills it and the dews that descend from the stars are noted, and the pres ence of the little worm on it's green leaf is more to England than the advance of the Russian army on Asian outposts. It is gold from the instant it puts forth it's tiny shoot. It's fiber is current in every bank, and when loosing it's fleece to the sun, it Heats a sunny banner that glori- fies the field of the humble far mer-that man marShalled under d flag that will compel the. alleg- lance of the world, and wiring a subsidy from every nation on earth. It is heritage that God has given to this people sforever, as their own, and when he arch ed our skies, established our mountains, girt about us the ocean, tossed the breezes, loosed the sunshine and measured the rain, He gave us and our children as princely a talent as ever came from His hand to mortal stew ardship.'
 Tn every section of our South land is this sentiment shared. For King Cotton is to us our guarantor of substantial peace, happiness and prosperity. The evolutions of time have made their impress upon all branches of development. Cond iii ons which have hitherto obtained, have given away to others and these others to conditions still later and more imprOyed YaarS

TAFT AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Secretary Taft's statement in re
gard to the discussion Of his name III
\ connection with the presiden,y has a
candid sound In brief, the statement
amounts to his. Secretary Taft Is not
candidate but would accept the
nomination If offeretl him He win not
permit the hope that il may be Of
fered to affect his Official acts.
Secretary taft has acted rather in.
dependently. There has been no indi
cation that he has been influenced in
his conduct by desire for the presi-
dency. He certainly is not In sympa

best Representative Of tariff reform in
his partyof a reform that would
give relief to the people He is also
the most taetful man in American
public life. and one Of the ablest.

nomination. If the president should

Taft would be the only candidate
now, even measurably in harmony
with his party. who could get the vote
OF that element of the party that ap
plauds Mr. Roosevelt for his digres-
sion from beaten Republican paths.
Secretary Taft would make
stronger race than any other man the
Republicans could nominate. Those
who object to his liberal views
would prefer him TO a Democrat, and
it is not certain that those who share
these views would prefer one who op
posed them to a Democrat who fay
