According to the ginners re- port for Oct. 18th, there have been 500,O0O bales of cotton less ginned this year than last. The report shows 4.407,O55 bales this year as against 4,931, ,621 last year If 50 per cent. of the crop has been ginned, as many claim, there will be less than a 10000. .000 bale crop this year.

A dispatch from Memphis speaks of the "s2 100000 court house" to be constructed there Shelby county. which is build ing this court house, has hardly more than one-tenth of the pop uIation of Arkansas and is q mere county, whereas Arkansas IS a sovereign state And yet some people shudder at the thought that s2 900. 900 will be required to complete and decor ate properly the new capitol of this great and growing com monwealth.
 The Little Rock Gazette in the above, seems to be in favor of plunging deeper into the pockets of the people for the state house, which has already caused scan dal enough to last the state for a century to come The people of Arkansas are not so parsimo- mous as the Gazette would have us believe, but they are curious to know where their money goes, and when they make an appropriation for building a state house they want the mon ey put into that job and not in to the pockets of boodling legis- lators to relieve contractors of their duties.

Already the battle has opened in the race for Governor and speeches are being made by some of the candidates while others are sending print ed speeches broadcast through out the land. It is a duty the people owe to themselves and their state to carefully study both men and measures and then vote for those whom they believe will best subserve their interests.

A good many farmers over the country appear to think that the local merchants control the price of cotton. This is a mis- taken idea. The merchant who buys the cotton from the farmer IS anxious to give the producer the highest market price for his staple, since by so doing 1t will assist his customer in paving up what he owes and leaving some thing tor future trading. The more the farmer gets for his cot ton the more money he will have to spend, and that IS what nat urally pleases the merchant. He has the goods to sell and he wants to sell them; but unless he is too big a foo. to merchan- disc, he knows that unless his customers get remunerative prices for their produce, their purchasing facilities will be cut of, and his opportunities for selling will be reduced in the sa me proportion.
 As a matter of fact, the mer- chants sell the cotton they buy from the farmers the same day they get 1t to cotton buyers and nine times out of ten they take less for 1t than they pay, and when they can sell for as much as they pay they always sell
 The cotton market IS controll- ed by the foreign buyer. who tel egraphs his agent, here, the price he IS paving for cotton, and such agent is governed by his instructions and, if the merchant sells at all, he must sell at the figures offered him. If cotton has dropped since he pur- chased 1t. he sometimes holds for a rise, or ships. and takes his chances of losing or gaining. By this method he sometimes makes but just as of ten loses, and this being specula tive the merchant prefers to sell his cotton at once, at the price he pays for it, for then he knows just exactly what he IS doing

Thomas A Edison, the great American inventor, says: "Fully eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating inn proper food or too much food; :; people are inclined to over ln- dulgc themselves This is where indigestion finds it's beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much worK and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong Kind of food, digestive organs cannot possibly do the work demanded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help, and demands help, and warns, you by head aches, be!ehing, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will even- tually do the work of the stom- ach. Kodol will do this.
