Early to Give Himself Up.

Early was notified this afternoon by a
Star reporter that DR.. Fowler had stated
he had procured a warrant for the arrest
of Early. He expressed surprise that
such a etep had been taken. He came
here for visit of only a week or ten
days, he said, adding that papers in his
possession show that the federal govern
rnent does not regard him leper.
{ Early remarked that he will not evade

Canal Work Satisfactory.

Senator Flint Of California, who went
to Panama with the congressional party
conferred with President Taft today
about conditions on the isthmus The
California senator commends the prog
ress that is being made and praises the
personnel Of the force in charge. He be-
lleves that there Is no more friction
among officials on the isthmus than there
gagged in any great enterprise, business or
governmental. Mr.. Flint thinks there will
be legislation at the coming session of
Congress that will centralize authority
OH the isthmus.
Col. Goethals. the chief engineer in
charge of the construction work, is slated.
according to report today. for chief of
engineers of the army upon the retire
meni of Brig. Gen. Marshall next year,
Col. Cocktails is not the ranking man
but the President is said to think that
his work in Panama deserves reward.
His promotion to chief of engineer ~
would not mean that he would be taken
away from the canal work. although he
would not be on the isthmus as much
at present.
Ex-senator Joe Blackburn. who has
been in charge of the civil administra-
ton Of the Panama canal several years,
will shortly retire to Kentucky, his
home. where he expects to remain the
rest of his life. He has announced that
President Taft has accepted his reslg-
nation. which was recently laid before
the chief executive. Mr.. Blackburn is
in his seventy-first year, and for sew
eral years has been acting as governor
Of the Panama Canal Zone. His record
has been an exceptionally good one.
He says that he likes Panama, but ne
longs for old Kentucky and it's assocla-

Alleged Unfairness.

IT was asserted that the publicity pro-
vided for in the law slakes it COMPARE
lively easy for large corporations desiring
a monopoly to gather this close informa-
ton regarding small competitors to the
great detriment Of the latter. 1t would
be unfair to those who wish to obey the
law to compel them to give publicity to
their business and go to the expense of
termine the law unconstitutional.
1t was declared that the act in pro-
viding for the deduction of interest on
bonds would promote the creation of q
bonded Indebtedness. Many corporations,
it was pointed out, do wholly an export
business Of American products. while the
Constitution expressly prohibits taxation
of exports. The law also taxes the fran
chise of corporations, given by the state
that creates il.
This was called an interference with
the instrumentalties and the means
which the state adopts for domestic de-
velopment.
The President told his callers he would
consider their petition and suggested that
they also called on Secretary MacVeagh Of
the Treasury. which was done.
Frank a. Vanderlp. president of the
National City Bank Of New York. was a
visitor who spent some time with the
President today. He discussed the bust

TO THE HONORABLE
SONS OF REST
Another Letter From Hon.
Jas. Snodgrass to the
Other Members of the
Sons of Rest.

before you ana VIII say IHdC III
few DAYS our official organ will
need all space for advertising
for our business men. We will
of course retain enough space to
let outsiders know we are still in
the ring. We will only be de-
prived of our space a few days
as the business season this fall
need not necessarily last over
sixty days.
If the weather continues for
thirty days as it has for the past
two months, the corn will all be
in and the cotton out. One time
going over the cotton patch this
season is enough. The cotton is
now open from bottom to top.
The majority of people in thirty
days will have their cotton out
and accounts credited with same.
All those who farmed on a cash
basis will be ahead of those on a
credit basis, outside of their corn
will be in the same rut.
The Sons of Rest is the only
organization that does not pay
any attention to II and 13.cent
cotton. That's no inducement
when d pound of cotton viii not
pay Tor a pound or slice Of meat.
Let it alone. Be We firm ana
steadfast, keep quiet. Two more
years indulgence in credit system
Wi put the creditor and pur-
chaser out of business. Many
are going to profit by this years
experience. Many are determin-
ed to farm on the credit system,
according to what prominent
merchant in Prescott told me a
few days ago. Some are going
to see if they can have their
merchants make arrangements
with the different packing houses
during 1910 to furnish capsules
with the meat and lard so they
can use the meat and lard on a
more economic basis. If this be
true, you see how determined
some of US are never to reform.
That is the reason the business
men of this day and time pay no
attention to anything we say or
do. They know there is nothing
in the way of business for us,
we only become a laughing stock
for intelligent people to criticise,
when there is no cause outside
of nonsense and tomfoolery for
it and that's a plenty. We have
first got to prove to outsiders
that we mean and do business
before we ever attract the atten-
ton of the public, until then we
are a failure. mot every one
that sayeth Lord, Lord shall
enter the Kingdom of Heaven
but he that doeth the will of my
Father" so says one of our
Bible lessons. My motto is to
either show to outsiders we
mean business or keep quiet.
submit to live under the penalty
we have brought upon ourselves
for the want of intelligence and
forethought. Look at the differ
ent condition we could have been
in if two or three years after the
Civil War we had refused to
have allowed our names to have
been placed on account books on
a credit basis and acted accord

never have felt the pressure II
we had adopted the cash system
three or four years after the
Civil War. which could have
more easily been done then than
now with less loss to the farmer
and merchant than today.
Hundred of farmers have their
lands soaked to do business on
for a little while longer, and
some merchants too, only to lose
entire sight of in the near future.
Then they can only look back
and see their mistakes as | and
others see mine. How much
more pleasure it would have
been for Us had We put ou~
/ thrcw-away labor and money
since the Civil war into all the
comforts Of improved farms.
Then when our town and city
friends come out to see US they
would have been sorry to tell US
good bye. AS it is, there are but
few attractions in the country
life. The town and city people
wonder as they pass by tie ma
/ jority of our homes how we can
content ourselves under such
circumstances. They wonder
how people living in such old
smoAy board houses with dirt
chimney can entertain any hope
of happiness. Some will say,
How can those poor little boys
get up at A a. m. to pick cotton
and go to the cotton patch hollo-
ing the negro hollo?' The
answer is, they have been raised
that way and know no better.
For 1000 years and longer peo-
pie have been doing this and

We quoted few weeks ago the resolutions Of the
board of supervisors of Rock Island county, setting forth
officially the fact that the saloons had bankupted that
county
Another place in Illinois where the saloons have it all
their way is the city of Murphysboro. Here is

WONDERFUL PEACH TREE

Mr. Editor:-I have a curiosity in the way of a peach tree. Two years ago 1 planted peach seed by an old stump. It came up and will be two years old next spring. The trunk at the ground is nearly four inches in diameter, and it has seven main trunk limbs, all con- ing out near the ground. 1 got one of my neighbors to help me count the limbs. It has 600 limbs, the best we could count them, and my neighbor is said to be as truth ful as 1 am. This may seem fishy to you, but come out and see the tree for yourself, and speak for some of the seed when the tree comes into bearing. A. B. DUFF.

SUSTAINS BROKEN LEG

Dye Martin fell and broke his leg above the knee while practic- ing football on the public school campus Tuesday afternoon at re- cess. He was running with the ball when he fell, catching his leg under himself in such manner that the limb was broken. There was no tackle, and no one had hold of him at the time, or fell upon him, so no blame attaches to any one, it being purely an unfortun- ate accident.
 The young man is about r years old and is son of Hon. and Mrs. F. M. Martin of this city. He is a general favorite in the school, and the unfortunate accident is deeply regretted by his many friends.
 Drs. Pascoe and Poe reset the broken limb and the young man is doing as we'll as could be expected.

LIQUOR MEN PERTURBED
Jackson County Judge Says He'll Grant No More Saloon License

During the religious services at the Baptist church at Newport Sunday night, County Judge Sim mons publicly announced that he would grant no more saloon license for Jackson county.
 This action upon the part of Judge Simmons has created quite q sensation in Newport, as Jack son county voted for license at the last election. It seems, how ever, that there is no way to con- pei the county court to grant liquor license, even in "weto county, and should Judge Sim mons refuse to change his mind there will be no licensed saloons in Newport after the 31st day of this month.
 The effect of Judge Simmons decision, if carried out, will reach far beyond the borders of Jackson county. Locally, 1t means that eight saloons will be put out of business in Newport and one at Grubbs. But that isn't all. New port supplies the jug and case trade for large territory, being the only saloon town on the Iron Mountain between Little Rock, Ark, and Poplar Bluff, Mo. a dis tance of about 200 miles.
 Judge Simmons stand against the sale of whiskey is said to be the result of his conversion during & religious revival recently held at the Baptist church in Newport by Evangelist Vermillion.
 The right of a county judge to decline to grant saloon license was upheld on former occasion by the supreme court of Arkansas in & case brought up from Wynne, the supreme court decision being to the effect that the right to sell whiskey was privilege, and could be revoked at the pleasure of the people or their servants.
 It is said that the Newport sa- loon keepers are taking Judge Simmons at his word, and cancell- ing their orders for liquors for next year.

CALL. REV. J. l.. BROWN

At a conference of the mem bers of the Baptist church of Newark held after the close of the regular services Sunday night, Rev. J. l.. Brown of Charlotte was called to the pastorate of the church here for the coming year.
 Rev. Brown has served the church here as pastor for a num- Der of years and has rendered able and efficient service to the cause he represents. He is recognized among the Landmark Baptists as one of the ablest preachers in the state, and the members of the con- gregation here are congratulating themselves that he has accepted the call.
