NIGHT RIDERS IN
 EAST ARKANSAS
lContinued from first page. ]

Continued from first page when I read in the Sundays Ga- zette the account of the nignr riding in Mississippi. However some of the union farmers are sore over the way in whlca me condition of the cotton crop in Arkansas has been misrepresent- ed by cotton men who desire 10 keep tbe price of cotton down and who are claiming a big crop ahead whereas such IS not true, and I would not be surprised II some of these people adopt drastic measures. However, anything in that line is not done in the name of the union. The union has authorized no such movement or measures, or al least If so 1 have heard nothlDg of if.
 "Buyers have given out de- cidedly false impression concern ing the cotton crop in Arkansas. There will not be normal crop even. The crop in this vicinity in the past ten days has deterior- ated fully 30 per cent. This IS due to the boil weevil.
 "As far as the possible destruc- ton of any property is concerned and the damaging of anything, the union would never stand tor that" declared Mir. McCulloch .The union would take inmedi' ate steps to prohibit anything ol the kind"

Berlin, Sept. 16.-The Franco-Span- ish note as published here does not include the repayment of the expenses incurred by the occupation of Casa Blanca as one of the conditions of the recognition of Mulai Hafid, but reserves the right immediately after the new sultan has been recognized to demand a settlement of the ques. tions affecting the interests of the powers, particularly the reimburse ment of the expenses of occupation.
 This is an important consideration from the German viewpoint for the German government has already stated that 1t would resist any en- deayor to put such a burden on Mo rocco at the beginning of Mulai Hatid's reign as the payment of such vast sum, which amounts 10 about s20.OOO,O0
 Germany's position from the begin. ming Of the occupation has been that the French action was precipitated and that 1t was prolonged unneces. sarily and furthermore that France not Moroccan, should pay the costs.
