The Deadly ParegoriC.

Paregoric has many friends and few
enemies among mothers. When baby
shows scolickly symptom. it is mother
to the paregoric bottle in millions OF
homes. Still the operation OF the
pure food law has disclosed the fact
that every fluid ounce Of the popular
baby "dope' contains 45 per cent
alcohol and two grains opium. When
father feels out Of sorts nobody sug-
gests that little whiskey would be q
good thing for him. And yet alcohol
and opium have been administered to
millions Of infants with no thought
Of the damage it might do, because
the mothers were ignorant of the
presence Of the drugs in the soothing
compound When one learns the
revelations that the new law has
made in the drug and proprietary
medicine trade the wonder is that we
are not q nation Of drnnkards and
drug 'sfiends.'' A number Of the
preparations are found to contain sc
much alcohol that the user might az

Judge Truly At Ashland.

At the opening Of the Benton coun-
ty court at Ashland last week Judge
Truly addressed the citizens of that
county. The Ashland Advocate says
Of his speech:
After Mr.. Scott had finished large
audience listened to one Of the ablest
speeches ever delivered in this county,
delivered by Judge JEFF Truly, candi-
date for governor II we had tho
ability to do so we would give syn
opsis Of this speech. II was the clear
est, most logical and commonsense
presentation Of state issues we have
thus Tar heard. And as was said by
the distinguished jurist, no one but q
fool or candidate could misunuer-
stand his position on the issues pre-
sented BY him. His idea Of the di-
vision Of the school fund is to make
the teachers salaries uniform through
out the state, regardless Of the amount
OF taxes paid by the several counties,
and il this was done there could be q
more equal distribution Of the school
fund and under this system some
teachers would not draw more pay
than the work done by them is worth
and others would not. be teaching at
starvation prices. His idea Of taxa
tion is that man should pay taxes
on what he has, that the more prop
erty one has the more taxes he should
pay, and that corporations should pay
their just part Of the taxes. The
Judge spoke for about two hours and
he had the attention Of the audience
from the beginning to the end and if
he had spoke an hour longer the crowd
would have remained to the end. At
the close Of his speech he was accord
ed warm reception by those present,
both ladies and gentlemen. It is safe
to say that the judge will get the
votes Of the greater part Of those who
heard him yesterday.

Negro Soldiers Being Rein

Those southern senators and repre-

Making Connections.

This week the civil engineers
of the fremont & Gulf Railroad
have been surveying locations
necessary to make connections
with the lines of the Louisiana &
Arkansas, the Rock Island and
the Louisiana Railway & Naviga-

transfer of cars to and from the
different roals when it is neces-
sary. The depots of the several
railways here are located at
almost opposite points of the
compass. The railroads of this
point are important factors in
the progress and development of

HOW WINFIELD

Some Of the Potent Factors that

to It's Progress.

People abroad who fail to un.
derstand the location of Winfield
and its surroundings cannot COM
prehend ITS growth and activity.
The town of today is not the
WINFIELD before and during the
war. Strangers estimate its status
on the now exploded reports of
its earlier history. There was
never a more mistaken idea. 1t
has become q railroad center.
These steel highways have not
conferred here for their health.
Their lines are built purely on
business principles. They pene-
trate sections calculated to furnish
. paying traffic. VIM parish is
noted for It's magnificent timbers;
It's dense growth of hardwoods,
pine and cypress. WINFIELD is
the center of vast network of
splendid plants, extensi Se IN their
equipments and employing hum
dreds of wage earners. This town
Is the natural distributing point
for these industries aud hence the
focus for their supplies. 1t is
also the location of several indus
tries with large psy-rolls.
The railways are the carriers of
the products that are raised both
within and without its limits.
Not less has the place become the
focus of q constant stream of
travel. but strangers visit it for

THE COTTON men
| PLAN A COUP
Farmers Union in Texas Elk.
poets to Get Fifteen-Cent
Contracts In Europe.

President Neill of the Farmers
Union has given out the inform
alton in Fort Worth that negoti-
atoms are on foot looking to the
closing of a contract with the Eu-
ropean spinners whereby the lat
ter will pay Is cents a pound for
cotton f. o. b. at common points.
Should this contract be closed
it would be the biggest achieve
ment of the year for the Farmers
union.
1t Is learned that this proposal
was made to the spinners of Eur
ope by Former President A. Z.
Calvin, on his recent trip abroad.
The deal was not closed, but final
action on it was postponed pend
ing the trip to this county of the
spinners. They will be here this
month and at that time a meeting
TO discuss the matter will be held
at Atlanta, Ga.
The plan OF selling direct to the
spinneTs would revolutionIze the
methods of marketing the crop,
but it would. it is said, be a great
help in carrying out the principles
of the union.
The union is holding out for Is
cents pound, and it is stated
that partial agreement has been
reached with the spinners that
price will be paid if the cotton
can be delivered TO the mills at
snch times and in such quantities
rs they may order, aud ut the
same time have the output subject
to the orders of the mills.
This, it is claimed, can be done
by the Farmers union by the
warehouse plan. Cotton is stored
in the various warehouses i'm the
country, and q certain amount of
cash is advanced the farmer on
the warehouse receipts, which |
nearly equals the current market |
price. and when the sale is finally
mad, the remainder Is paid.
Each member pays a small fee
for storage, which, it is under
stood, will De about so cents a
bale. This fee covers the storage
for certain peroid, and also the
weighing and loading on the cars.
The National Farmers Educa-
ti0nal and Cooperative Union
has q membership of half a mil
lion, distributed through the prin-
cipal producing states and con-
trolls the bulk of the annual cotton
output. Texas is one of the strong
states, having a membership of
100000 in round numbers, and of
the 1900, 900 bales that is now
estimated for the Texas crop this
year it is claimed that the union
ian control two-thirds.
The plan of selling direct to
spinners has been contemplated,
lt is claimed, for several years,
but this will be the first attempt
10 put the plan into execution.
Several months ago when Mr..
CALVIN urged the farmers to de-
mand Is cents for their cotton,
this particular method of dispos-
ing of the cotton crop was in
mind and at that time conferences
had already been held with En-
rOpean splnners and the outlook

was favorable for the marketing
of the crop at that rate.
President Neill denies the re-
port that the present crop has
already been sold. but believes
that ultimately the crop will bring
