Money For State Farm.

The Penitentiary Board will hold an adjourned session the latter part of the week, and it is likely will order payment on the state convict farm Tn Lincoln county. What this amount will be has not been agreed upon by the members. The only payment made on the farm this year is $15,0OO, which was paid to the Urquhart estate sev- eral months ago. The farm was sold to the State for $140,000. The recent legislature appropriated s45,OOO for payment on the place, out of which appropriation $15,000 was paid on May 20, leaving balance to the credit of the appropriation of $50 1000. Pay ments for the farm must come out or the penitentiary fund, which consists of the earnings of the penitentiary. AL present there is about $25,OOO to the credit of the fund, and as large returns from the sales of cotton will soon come in, the board feels Justlhed III making another payment on the place. The amount paid on the convict farm to date is about s7S,000, leaving bal ance of s62 900 and interest due

Tragedy at Texarkana.

E. M. Sumner was shot and killed by negro, Monroe Ballard, while sit ting on his front porch smoking a pipe. Both the men were laborers and lived in the same neighborhood, their houses being only a few yards apart. The two houses were owned by the same landlord. The presence of the negro as a neighbor was objec- Sionable to the white man, and it is said he complained to the landlord. The latter served notice on the negro that he must vacate. This so incensed the negro that he shot Sumner Upon the arrival of the officers the negro barricaded himself in his house, but was later shot on exposing himself at an open door, his body being literally siddled with bullets.

Petition for Pardon.

Sam Q. Sevier of Camden presented petition to the governor for a par don for R. M. McClelland, convicted at the fall term, 1906, of the Ouachita Circuit Court on the charge of grand larceny on two counts and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. He has already served one years impris. onment. The petition states that Me Clelland fell in bad company and com. mitted an act which made him only technically guilty of the offense of which he was convicted. Two parties induced him to secure for them quantity of brass from place where they had secreted it, and which they had stolen. McClelland got the brass and was arrested. The parties who committed the theft escaped. The pc tition for his pardon is recommended by the trail judge and the prosecuting attorney of the district.

,nspected State Capitol.

J. Massey Rhind, the sculptor ol New York, who has done number ol notable pieces of work in various cities of the country, was in Little Rock recently and inspected the new state capitol, with a view to gaining an idea of what the building demands in the way of sculptural treatment. MT. Rhind was accompanied by Gill bank Twigg, who is closely associated with him in his work. MT Rhlnd was much taken with the capitol as all architectural achievement, and was ol the opinion that well-placed ngures and groups in bronze and stone would add immeasurably to the edlnce, which he said should symbolic all that is best and most striking ln AT kansas.

LIN E UP.

Cooperation among the farmers means a better price for all products. Better prices means more business for banks and merchants and all other classes. Then why not cooperate! The warehouse system of marketing cotton is the only way to hold the price up. Store your cotton and feed the market as it needs it. Don't force a whole years supply upon the market in three months, thereby depressing the price and injuring yourself and others Fifteen cents is not too much for your cotton. The cotton grower ought to have as good living as any other class In order to have he must have a profit on his labor and his in. vestment. What does 1t profit us if we work hard and Providence smiles on us and we make an abundance, the bulls and bears tell us that we have made too much and down goes the price below cost of production and thousands of good farmers arc forced to the wall. Not only that, but all business interests suffer and bank ruptcy stalks abroad in the land. We appeal to you in the interest of wom- en and children of the South who have to pull cotton sack from day light until dark demand a fair price for your produce. Take the children ouS of the field and put them to school where they belong. Don't whine around and say II can't" because you can. There has been ample arrange ments made to finance all cotton. So line up. You have the best opportuni-' ty you ever had to assert your inde- pendence. Help us hold up the price' of the Souths great money crop, there- by bringing prosperity to all classes. and unborn generations will rise up and call thee blessed.-Greenville Ban-

FIFTEEN CENTS.

Cotton is below 12 cents but there are so many farmers who have to have quick money and who are under finan- cial obligations that it will take years to change them It will take a cam paign of education perhaps several of them to get men to change their habits in regard to borrowing money on cot ton and repaying at time disastrous to themselves. By all means the rules of supply and demand should now be about 13 cents, and before December should be 15 cents.
 If the farmers perfect their organ ization and get where they can hold and demand 15 cents there will be little trouble about the men who hasten to sell. They will then want 15 cents also and will take steps to get it.
 It is an outrage that dealers in New York can in the face of present con ditions force down the price of cotton below 12 cents. If the farmers were fully organized they could deal d. rectIy with the cotton mills of New England and old England, and Of France as well as with our own home mills, and leave New York dealers out of the business altogether. The mills and the planters could deal more equitably and the price fixed would be the real price.-Paris Advocate.

Governor Will Name Justice.

Acting Governor X. o. Pindall will appoint successor to the late Asso- ciate Justice James E.. Riddick on the Supreme bench within a few days
 Justice Riddick was elected to serve a term of eight years at the general election held in September, 1906. He had served only about one year or the term up to the time of his death. The law which will serve as a guid- ance to Acting Governor Pindall is as follows: "In any case wherein a va cancy in any office shall occur, to be filled, under the provision of the con- stitution, by a special election, the governor shall have power temporarily to fill the same by granting a com
 mission, which shall expire when the person elected to fill said office, at such election, shall be duly qualihed'

NO LESS THAN IS CENTS.

Mrs. Ida Gresham, the devoted wife of our lamented founder, and her chfl- dren, have produced two bales of cot ton this year One has been gathered and is now in the barn where 1t Is to remain till our minimum has been reached. Mrs. Gresham says that un- der no circumstances will she ever sell this bale, or the other one, which is to be gathered, for less than l5 cents a pound Mrs. Gresham, Miss Lutie and the other children picked this bale of cotton and are picking the other one.
 The women and children of our Southland are making and picking a great part of our cotton crop each year. What crime 1t Is to dump this cotton on the market from year to year at the speculator's price, and thus rob the women and children of the reward Of their labor-a labor which is making them prematurely old

Law Affects Cotton Seed Meal.

Commissioner Guy B. Tucker holds that cottonseed meal, which is regard ed as a fertilizer, lawfully comes under the provisions of the act passed by the recent legislature, providing for the regulation, registration, sale, inspection and analysis of commercial fertilizers, acid phosphates, fertilizer materials and chemicals in the State of Arkansas" The commissioner claims that cottonseed meal comes under the head of fertilizer materials, and that it is a commercial fertilizer, and is therefore subject to the provis- ions of the act. The law provides that facturer or company, either by them selves or their agents, to sell or offer for sale in this State any fertilizer or fertilizer materials that have not been registered with the commissioner of mines, manufactures and agricul' ture. There is a great deal of cot tOnseed meal in which hulls are mixed that is sold not only for fertilizing pur- poses, but for feed. All this stuff, the commissioner says, shall bear the tag of the commissioner of agriculture, showing that the law has been com piled with. In case the oil mills should be required to tag their packages of meal, it is estimated that the revenue to the State from this source would be considerable. The fee for inspect ing fertilizing material of this kind is 25 cents per ton.
