NOTHING TO
 THE NIGHT RIDERS
Brother of Sid Wood Says No Attcn- tion Is Being Paid to Recent Visit
 of Horsemen at SaraSsa.

r. A. Wood of Lincoln county was a visitor at the statehouse in Little Rock yesterday Mir Wood is a brother of Sid Wood of Sarassa, the sinner who received notice" from al legged night riders recently to let his ginning alone until further notice. The parties were reported to have been very eXacting in their demands upon the ginners in that section of the state, but Mr. Wood thinks that de- cidedly more importance was attached to the incident than it really war ranted
 Some persons rode up to my broth er's house after he had retired, and called for him to come out" said Mir. Wood. "He informed them that he would be out in a minute, but they replied that he needn't mind about troubling to dress. as all they wanted to do was to tell him not to gin any cotton until he received notice to start his gin. They then rode on off, There were not more than four. &nd t is believed that the party was made I'D of negroes. At any rate, no one re- gardS the source as of sufficient le- sponsiblity to pay any particular at tention to it.

STATE UNION

Beebe, Oct. 13.-John Bowers Sr, of Jacksonville, president of the Ar kansas Farmers Union, is in Beebe to- day in conference with R. H. McCul- loch of the state executive committee, and also of the national union, and Alex Davis, president of the White county union.
 President Bowers was asked wheth- CT or not he would call meeting of the state organization to consider the night riders movement, and replied that he had not fully determined what he would do in the matter as yet, but is now advising with officers and mem bers as to the necessity of such q move. Personally have been oppos- ed to calling such meeting,' said MT. Bowers, but if it is shown that such meeting will be for the good Of the Organization l shall call it.
 There is to be mass meeting e members of the county union and the business men at Searey tomorrow. Both President Bowers and MT. Me Culloch will attend this meeting, at which the question of a uniform plan l for holding cotton is to be considered. It is probable that the matter of eYil- ing meeting of the state uaion Will be decided at that time.

 At Helena recently q section o' ievcc and river bank some two hun dred feet wide and seven rnndred feet long sank like q punc!ured bai loon and a mill office building and q mill boarding house went with ii. This disaster, those learned in river and leyce lore say, was caused by jhe washing out of an ancient sahdb*f upon which the levec rested, and had the mishap occurred during the high water period Helena, for years pro tected from the floods by this levee, would have been inundated for weeks
 At New Orleans Friday a simila. disaster occurred, entailing T propertv loss of $70,000 and leaving the city at the mercy of the water to come later on. The cause of the catastrophe at New Orleans is given as an under mining of the bank, from which ii might be assumed that the lcvec there was also built upon sandbar, and that Helena and New Orleans nave suffered serious misfortune iron precisely similar causes ti'f;s river, being unable, tG get over the pro- tecfinS &mbanl<meut went under t, Bus yndicating it's reputation as an uneonqueraMe stream.
 It has been argued for years that the leyee system is a failure, but the facts point in an opposite direction. Such cases as those at Helena and New Orleans are of more or less ire quent occurrence, and there are times when the weight of water breaks through the levee and floods the outlying country, but Fortunately these mishaps are sporadic. and as a whole the levces have accomplished what they were intended to accom- plish and have proved to all practical purposes the solution of the high water dilemma. At least there seems 10 be no other remedy. and in spite of the enormous cost of erecting le wees they have proved well worth the price.

WELDING THE "BIG STICK"

President Roosevelt having laid down his fountain pen and stopped writing letters because of his inabil ity to answer Mr Bryan, has now directed his attention to two other important branches of his work of attempting to elect Mr Taft as his successor He is now putting forth his best efforts to increase the size of the Republican campaign fund and to deliver the labor vote to his party's nominee Tn. scandals which have followed the exposure of previous campaign contributions from favored corporations, trusts anG insurance companies to the Republican war chest have made it difficult for Treas urer Sheldon 10 fry the fat from these
 special interests and hence il has been necessary for the president to go forth with the big stick 10 get a slush fund Mr. Roosevelt is an eN- pert in raising Republican donations; he has had past experience which was very successful. Toward the close of the 1901 campaign he called upon MT E. II. iarriman the railroad mag nate, for funds to procure his oWu election. and that worthy responded within twenty-four hours by raising $260,000 This amount MT. Hartman said in his now famous Webster let fer, changed 50000 yotes-a difference of 100000 in the total in the Gijy of New York alone. There can be no doubt that My Roosevelt knows how to raise a campaign fund to aid his proxy and he is now engaged in that work
 Realizing that the labor vote is al most solidly against Taft and his in- functions, the president has also undertaken 10 deliver as much of it as possible 10 his fayoYite To this end he summoned Patrick IT. Norris sey of Cleveland and w. s. Stone of Washington for conference where he is reported to have pointed out to them that he had appointed two or three labor men to office, and that, therefore, their fellow laborers should swallow Taft's injunctong and vote the Republican ticket Republican politicians have railed at MT Gompers because he has advised his followers to support Mir. Bryan, but now the president, by the offer of offices, seeks to intimidate labor leaders to desert labor's interests and their fel- lows and support Taft and iniunetions

Hot Springs, Oct. 13-There are more people in Hot Springs today than have ever before been assembled in this resort. except, possibly, during the busiest days of the resort season. The annual State Fair is on with q rush that presages the future perma- hence of the institution, which has heretofore been in doubt
 When the fair closed last year there was a large deficit. Stockholders in Hot Springs rallied 10 the support oi the institution, however, more stock was purchased, all debts were paid and the State Fair Association at the beginning of this season found itself better equipped than ever before to make the third annual event su = cess.
 And with the experience of the two years behind them and favorable cir cumstanccs attending their efforts the officials upon this occasion have been able 10 accomplish with more facility and less expense far more satisfactory results than eyer before.
 Public Is Responding.
