PardoRed Without Petition.

Little Rock, Aug. 31.-Special Governor X. O. Pindall pardon ed Henry Scott of Miller county, Friday afternoon, without a pe- tition or request therefor being presented to him.
 Gov. Pindall was at the old penitentiary one day during the past week, and while there in spected the old cell-houSe which is now being used for a hospital. The case of Henry Scott, a ne gro, convicted of robbery in the Miller circuit court, and senten- ced to three years in the peni- tentiary, came to his knowledge. The negro is friendleSS, no rela- tives survive him and he is suf- fering from awell developed case of tuberculosis. The governor looked into the case, and decid- ed that he had been punished enough for his crime. and decid ed to release him. When asked for reason for his attention he said:
 The negro had no one to pre- sent his case to me. No one cared whether he was pardOned or not. No one cared whether he lived or died and therefore there was no manner in which his case could come to the attentionof the executive. When l saw his condi tiop, while inspecting the hoSpi tai I decided that there was mer. it in the case, and after care ful investigation 1 decided to re lease him. A man may be entitled to consideration and at the same time have no friends to present his claims to the proper parties. y
 Scott was released Friday af- ternoOn.

c E. Bailey, of Blevins, Brings the First Bale of Cotton to
 Prescott.
saIues t5 s.s cEMTs PER POUND
Weighed 434 Lbs. and Ranked as Good Middling Worth of Premiums Given by Business Men of
 Prescott.

The first bale of new cotton re- ceived here this season was brought late last evening by Squire Gent E. Bailey, of Blevins, and was auctioned off this morn. ing by A. M. Ellsworth, in front of W. B. Walters store, and was sold to R. l.. Blakely for 15 3-S cents. The bale weighed 434 lbs, and brought S66.73. It ranked as good middling.
 The bidding was quite spirited. Capt. White started off at 13c, which was quickly advanced by R. l.. Blakely to 13 IA, and fol lowed by a 13 12 bid by w. B. Waller. Charlie Elkins bid 13 5 1 and Capt. White went to 14c. Blakelv bid IA IA, Waller II 3-S and Elkins II 1-2. White bid II 5-S and Blakely then went to 15c. Elkins bid 15 IA, Blakely 15 30, Elkins 15 B, and Blakely bought the bale at 15 3-S.
 The price paid is the highest yet received for a first bale in any town in Arkansas. Pine Bluff paid 15c, Philadelphia 15c and Hope 12tc for their first bales.
 Nearly $50 worth of premiums were given by the different merchants of Prescott.
 Another batch of different premiums awaits the farmer who brings the second bale.
 MT. Baily is one of the most progressive farmers of Hemp stead county, and a fine gentle man. He is candidate for treas urer of his county, and if elect ed will give the people a most ex- cellent service.

The Position ef the Railroads.

Little. Rock, Aug. 31.-The position of the railroads in Ar kansas has been made clear un- Intentionally, by an officer of the Iron Mountain, in private con- versation. This official occupies a high position in the councils of the management of this company, and his statements are taken as indicative of the intentions of the company. While discussing the question of congestion in the Ar genta yards one day during the past week this officer made the following statement:
 We have more traffic than we can move. That is the simple truth of the matter. 1 am not in a position to speak on the other roads, but l am under the i'm pressiOn that this is true with all lines in Arkansas. Now what we need is double track between St. Louis and Texarkana. We should build it now. But do you know that it requires money to build railroads? It does, and lots of it, too. The companies are compelled to borrow money for betterments. When roads go to the moneyed men of the coun- try for loans, they desireto know what the attitude of the state government is. If it is antagon- istic then the money will not leave the financial centers.
 Therefore, we must often times make the money before we can make these improvements With cut in rates here, and a reduction in our revenue there, and topping off of income yon der, this is made especially and peculiarly hard on the roads. therefore the question of a double track through Missouri and Ar kansas is unsettled"
 Continuing he discussed the at titude of the roads with reference to the two cent rate. He declar- ed that when the rate was put in the roads felt inclined to contest it. But on what ground would we have made the contest at that time? The legislature of this state declared we made money on two cents. Missouri did like wise. Others followed suit. cOunseled delay, and to make an honest experiment., to ascertain if possible, whether we could ex iSt under this rate. It was seen however that, the state and the interstate rate would conflict and 1t would be extremely difficult to make showing, one way or the other, and for that reason the in terstate rate was made two cents, where the rate in the states was two cents"
 Thus it is indicated that should these experiments show that the roads can not live, and make the improvements that are necessary, they will enter contest. This statement is considered to be one of the most significant ever made by an officer of any railroad in this connection.

In talk with Superintendent J. J.

Moore will issue warrants to the different counties for the money appor- toned. However, this question is unsettled, and is likely to be decided either way.

Governor Vardaman. to whom the title

The returns owing to the length OF
the tickets are slow in coming in, but
the outlook is excellent for a heavy
majority for the congressman over his
negro batting opponent
The campaign waged between the
two for the primary vote which, OF
course, settles the issue in this state,
has been full of interest because of the
personalities Of the men involved and
the means they have relied on to gain
the popular suffrage.
Vardaman has sought to outpitch-
fork Tillman and would have gone to
the senate on the platform of repeating
States constitution.
Williams has claimed that there is
no negro voting issue in Mississippi.
and since the negro never is allowed to,
vote here this contention seems to be
justified. He has campaigned on the
question of national issues trust reg
ulation In particular. The two men
have met in joint debate during the
campaign and Williams has had much
