BAD NICCER FROM
 BITTER GREEK

Bob and I'd. EdmOnSOn, brOfhe CTS,
 Have a Twist --- One Gets a
 Broken Nose.
 Last Sunday morning about 4 o'clock City Marshal Cl y de Marsh was called to the home of Ed. Edmonson, a negro, living on Mill street below the school building, to quell a fight that was on.
 When he arrived he found Ed. holding his hands over his face and under those hands was nose, smashed all over his face, caused by coming in contact with a pair of "knucks' that his brother Bob had on his hand and the only hand he had too, as he is one armed.
 It seems the trouble originated over a keg of beer.
 Mayor Arnold had the next move.

y,,;oaal alFarmers' Union Fixes This
 Years Price for Cotton.
ASSOCIATION MEET AT CAPITAL
,... sbor, and Producer in Position to De- maud iiqh prices - Sliding Scale Adopted. Makes Buyer Pay the
 Storage.

Fifteen cents per pound cotton, based on middling quality, with sliding scale of 1-4 cent per hound per month for future de- liveries is the fiat of the National Manners Union, without dis senting vote.
 At the second days meeting the committee reported in favor of minimum price of 15c per hound for middllng cotton, be- ginning October 1. After that a sliding scale is effective on a basis of 1-4 cent additional price paid for each month.
 For instance, the price for September is 15c per pound; De- tober, 15 1-4c per pound; No vember, 15 1-2c; December, 15 3 4c, January, 16c, etc.
 The sliding scale feature was added for the purpose of placing on the buyer the cost of ware housing the cotton and also for the purpose of meeting interest on the money involved in holding the cotton.
 The price of 15c was based on approxmate estimate that the crop is decidedly shorter than last year, and is far below a normal crop. In many sections 1t was shown from reports that the crop was almost a failure, and the demand for the present crop, 1t was argued, would easily justify the placing of 15c as the price of middling cotton.
 When the report of the com mittee was submitted 1t was passed unanimously. The hun dreds of thousands of farmers in the Farmers National Union have set their figure on the cot ton crop and will dictate to the buyer what he shall pay for the feecy staple.
 President Lewis, of the Ar kansas Farmers Union, who is Thoroughly satisfied with the ac- ton of the convention, says: 'l think the price is none too high, considering the abnormal short ness of the crop. There will be shortage of at least 35 per cent. m the normal crop in this state. ! think the convention acted Wisely, and I see no reason why the price should not be asked and Secured "
 Il. Beecher Lewis, state lec- turer for the union in Arkansas, says: There will be no trouble n maintaining the price of 15c. lt must be remembered that the prce IS not 15c per pound for any grade of cotton, but for mddllng cotton. There may be and doubtless will be much cot 'on that will not grade that high ana this must be sold for a lower price. The price is fixed strictly on the grade of middling cotton. AS tor the ability of the farmers 70 secure the price, I think there IS no question. We now have in this state alone something like a hundred warehouses, with ca paclty for storing: thousands of bales. If we cannot get our price In September or October or any other particular month, into .ae warehouse goes the cotton, mere to remain till we get our p1lce. No, there is no question aoout our being able to maintain me price, and l think the price Is just"
