onlv Frost at BentonviIIe.

As a result of the cool wave. the only heavy frost occurring in Ar kansas. according to Weather Bureau reports, was at BentOnville on Mon- day and Tuesday mornings, The frost at that station was heavy, but was not a killing one. Cotton planters said Tuesday the cotton had received a chill that will doubtless affect it some, but as far as is known no meas ueable damage resulted.
 H. F. Alciatore, section directos. . explained the cool wave was an "o'' thodox" one from weather mans standpoint When the area of high pressure appeared in the northwest, there was an area of low pressure south and east. This permitted the high. with it's attendant cold, to swing to the south and east with rapidity. Similar conditions in winter result ill cold waves throughout the country.
 Tuesday morning the wave had crossed the Mississippi river, and At lanta, Ga, Chattanooga, Tenn, Jack sonville. Fla. Mobile, Ala, Montgom- cry. Ala. New York, Washington, and other cities south ana east, showed morning temperatures from 12- to 22 degrees under the morning before. West of the Mississippi river the tenn peratures were rising,

A Limited Dollar Wage.

Cotton pickers are receiving $1 per 100 pounds in the vicinity of England, Lonoke county, according to Postmas- ter Schooley of that place, but it IS only in the lowlands northeast of Eng land. where it is necessary to gather the crop at once lest heavy rains should come and inundate the fields. The cotton, too, MT. Schooley says, is of a rather poor grade and a picker cannot gather as many pounds as in a first-class crop.
 The tempting price is having it's effect on the negroes, and the other plantation owners of that district find it necessary to raise their price i'll order to secure help. As high as so cents is being offered on plantations where the growth is heavy and easy to pick, but in all other portions of the county and in Pulaski. 50 cents remains the ruling rate.

May Grow Rice On State Farm.

The question of getting rid Of the Johnson grass on the state convict farm in Lincoln county will probably be discussed at the next meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the state penitentiary. which will be held Monday.
 It has been suggested that large tract of the land where the Johnson grass grows 10 such an extent as to make it improbable to raise corn or cotton be converted into a rice field The soil is well adapted to the pro duction of rice. being the same as that in Jefferson county below Pine Bluff, where Judge James Gould and John F. Rutherford have made a sue cess of it's cultivation. One of the advantages in establishing rice field on the state farm is that it can be done at little expense and be operated at less expense than those on the prairies in Arkansas, Lonoke and Prai- ric counties
 Growers of rice in the latter coun- ties, in order to secure water, must sink wells and erect tanks at consider able financial outlay which would not be incurred at the state farm, as na- ture furnishes all the water needed and the land is located so as to enable the convicts to flood the rice fields at any time with little labor and trouble and at comparatively small expense.
 Flooding the fields where the rice is cultivated would destroy the Johnson grass in a single season. This year the sipe water from the Arkansas river ruined about 500 acres of cotton. The river at the farm was at the overflow stage last spring for 27 days, and the presence of all this water on the land suggested the idea of utilizing 1000 O. more acres for the production of rice. It just so happens that the DOT tion of the farm most available for rice culture is where the Johnson grass grows the thickest.
 Last year the state farm produced between 1900 and 1,400 bales of cot ton. but this year the yield will not be much in excess of ,000 bales. Two hundred convicts now employed in picking cotton, and up to Tuesday had gathered between 300 and 400 bales. None of the cotton picked this season has been placed on the market

SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
First Had Itching Rash-Threatened Later With BIood-Poison in Leg
 Relied on Cuticura Remedies.

About twelve or fifteen years ago had a breaking-out, and it itched. and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticara Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away They cured me and have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with pain in my side. Treat ment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F.

Hope to Effect Compromise.

There will be a lull in the agitation for lower frieght rates until the rail roads and the shippers of Little Rock confer with each other on October 6 and '. On these days, representatives from the Iron Mountain. the Rock Island and the Cotton Belt will dis cuss the reasonableness Of the p per cent advance in rates, with the EXecu- tive Committee of the Merchants Freight Bureau. The shippers. who are willing to give in somewhat, be lieve that a compromise will be effect ed.
 Arbitration worked in Memphis, and Manager Bragg believes that it will in Little Rock. At all events, all legal action against the roads will be dropped until the results of the conference are shown. As one of the most prominent shippers said: We are going to do everything to allow the railroads to come to terms We dislike rOuSing enmity between the two sides through legal fight, when all differences may be adjusted amicably, in conference.

To Raise Fund for orphanaqe.


 A handsome brick orphanage, capa- ble of accommodating 100 homeless children, will be erected by the Metho- dist Episcopal church, South at the corner of Fifteenth and Commerce streets, Little Rock, at a cost of $30,000.
 At a meeting of the laymen from all portions of the state, held Thurs day at the Masonic Temple in Little Rock, this decision was reached, and plans were perfected for raising the fund. which is to be collected by subscription within a period of 90 days.
 Rev. M. B. Umsted of Beebe was ap- pointed to have charge of the eam- paign for raising the funds, but it was decided that one layman in each of the 21 districts in the state would be ap- pointed to have charge of the work in his particular district. The church has had the plan of rebuilding the orphanage under consideration for some time, and those who attended the meeting Thursday were enthu- siastic in their support of the project. The church now owns three lots at Fifteenth and Commerce streets, upon which is a large wooden structure used for the home. The Crphanage is in charge of the matron and enc assistant and they are aided in caring for the inmates by the older girl in the home.
