8,200,000 BALES C|NNED TO NOv.|

The census report of the cotton ginned to Nov. I, 1908, issued at Washington this morning, shows, in round numbers, S,2oo, GOO bales ginned to the date named. This is more than two million bales in ex- cess of the amount ginned to the same date last year, when o,I2S,- 562 were ginned to Nov. I. The amount ginned to the same date in 1906 was 6,9o6, ,395, and in 1905, o,457595.
 The amount ginned ill Faulkner county to Nov. I was ,3,4o3. This is IA bales more than the amount entire ginned during the preced- ing season, which was I3,28o The average amount of the sea- sons crop ginned in Arkansas to Nov. for the past three years is 36 per cent, and, taking this as a basis, the report would indicate a crop of nearly 40, 1000 bales in this county. AS matter ot fact, how ever, the season is much earlier than usual this year, and the per feet weather of this fall has result ed in the cotton being gathered much earlier than ordinarily. Those in posi- ion to make esti- mates state that about three fouiths the Faulkner county crop has been ginned.
 The market was but little inf1u- enced by the report, advancing about three points. Cotton today is bringing S4 cents.

NORMAL WINS SHORT GAME Defeats L. R. College Saturday
 IS to 6.
Douglas for Normal Makes Two Touch downs-Score Should Have Been
 Larger.

In we'll played game at Little Rock Saturday, the Arkansas State Normal defeated the Little Rock College football team, IS to 6. Only fifteen minute halves were played, and had the usual 20 or 25 minute halves been adopted, the Normal would have made at least two more touchdowns, as the whistle blew at the end of each half with the ball just ready to be pushed across Little Rocks goal.
 The teams were about evenly matched, there being little differ ence in the average weights, and for the first few minutes of play it looked as if the Little Rock boys would put up stiff fight for the game. Securing the ball in the first minute of the play, Thomas for Little Rock tossed it to Paulet, who made 25-yard run for touchdown. From this time on, however, there was nothing doing for the home team.
 Douglass for the Normal made two touchdowns, Wray making the other touchdown.

NO CHANCE IN

RAILROADS or THE COUNTRY

Washington, Feb. 21-Industrial
and financial circles have been more
or less concerned over what they re-
sarded as a prospect that the rail
roads of the country have in con-
temptation general reduction in
the wages OF their employees.
Such apprehension is practically
groundless. Information which has
reached the interstate commerce
commission, and other officials of
'he government. indicates clearly
;hat there Is no concerted action on
the part OF the American railways to
make general changes in their wage
scale. Instances of proposed read

troyersy.
Chairman Knapp AMI ComMission-
or Neil have adjusted successfully
in the past fifteen months several
controversies that have arisen be-
tween interstate carriers and their
employees. In each case their action
has been purely Informal They
simply have threshe1 out the ques-
ton with the Representatives OF the
employers and the employees, and in
each case have succeeded in bringing
them to a basis of satisfactory un-
derstanding.
So far as the interstate commerce
commission is concerned and so far
as important railroad interests here
are aware there Is no cause for ap-
prehension respecting the wage cues
ticn on American railroads. Such
ques tiCns as have arisen in isolated
instances are not regarded as ground
for anJ general concern.
