There were seven cows and one buck
in the herd when last seen and one
theory is that someone sought the
leader and shot him with view to
stopping the increase in the elk in
that section. The buck had beau
tiful pair of antlers. Later news is
to the effect that another dead elk
was found about 400 yards from the
buck.

THE DEBATE AT SUTTON

The good people of Sutton were entertained in a happy style on the night of Saturday, Feb. 27th. The occasion was made more enjoyable from the fact that on Friday before We had to meet the Tax Collect or and make our annual contri- button to the charity fund of our county, or to be more explicit, we had to pay for the privilige of breathing the pure air and of travelling over the muddy roads of Nevada county. And about all the average tax payer gets out of those yearly visits of our collector is the pleasure of know ing how rich he is.
 But I started to write about that gathering at Sutton. 1t was debate and the subject was: Resolved that Immigrants to the United States should be pro- hibited." :" Now that was a big question, but we are used to tackling big questions, in fact we could hardly be induced to notice any subject of minor im- portance. We'll we had a big time and no mistake. Prof Roy

labor. I am credibly informed that the ladies and girls over the country are going to make a grand change this year, that a promise of a bale of cotton to help make a crop is a thing of the past, that they are going to teach men that it takes some thing besides barring off and dirting up to raise cotton, They are going to call Zacnius down from his riding cultivator and have him handle the hoe, and then when they raise the cotton collectively, it will be sold col lectively by the whole family, not individually. They declare that if they are at the raising that they will be at the selling, so brother we are up against it. My wife and daughter have already served notice on me.
 A great many people are ask inc who the Sons of Rest and the Auxiliary were before we were organized. We were the indus tr;ai class but another class stepped between us and the spec ulators, trusts and combines and told them they would do all their day labor and raise and sell them cotton away below the cost of production, we let them have the job, they are welcome to 1t. l knew if we ever got the ladies with us we would win and now we have got them. There may be a disgruntled case now and then but we are Tn the swim.
 Now brothers and sisters for fear I am infringing on our offl- cial organ 1 will have to close. II I have said anything amiss l beg your pardon. 1 will try and as sist the Arkansas legislature i'll solving the State House problem next week. If we for the past twenty years could have had such men as Brother Whaley and others in a majority we would never have had such a mess. On Bro. Whaley's account l shall as- sist. Yours very truly,

Tompkins and w. M. Mum af- frmed and Rev. J. R. Lambert
 and J. w. Erwin denied. The house was crowded ssto it's utmost capacity and the best of order prevailed. The speakers occu-
 pied thirty minutes each and the speeches were of high order. Some wonderful things were brought 0 light Prof, Tompkins showed that the yellow scoundrels i from Asia were coming at the rate of one million per day, and Rev. Lambert in reply said; Let i them come and we will drain all ! the lakes east and west and
 north and south of the Mississippi river and it necessary we will cut off good slice of the Pacific Ocean and make room for them. !"
 w. M. Mum and J. w. Erwin were seen to partake freely rom little bottle before going on the floor which accounted for some foolish things that they said. Prof. Mum quoted freely from Patrick Henry's great speech, and Rev. Erwin selected some beautiful stanzas from Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to enforce his argument. After mature de!iberation. the jury of which John Bright was foreman brought in their verdict to wit: We the jury decide that the foreigner any where north of the Carouse will not be allowed hereafter to have homes among us" Lige Murray who was also on the jury has been ordered to carry the news to Roosevelt with instruct ions to him to have Congress add the finishing stroke which will settle the question once for ali. A telegram from the governor of California congratulating us on our splendid work is daily ex- pected. Now be it known by all parties concerned that there is no room at Sutton for a foreigner and if one by chance shonld slip in about the only chance for him lis to join the Sons of Rest. Bro.

10 TIE sons OF aesT AND AUXILIARY

y
 Ladies and gentlemen: I am proud to appear before you thru our official organ this week for the good of the order. Are you aware of the fact that Taft has taken his seat as President of the United States for the next four years? May many changes be made for the general welfare without further friction. Taft put up a job on Roosevelt. He has no idea of carrying out Roose- velt's policies. When Taft went down to Atlanta, Georgia, he ate 'possum and taters and danced a few sets with the south ern belle's. He went down to the colored Y. M. c. A. and told the colored people from now on to be governed by the Scripture; to work out their own salvation
 Later on he tells the people that he can scrap up enough white people to fill the federal offices.
 This is no time to retrograde, but evolute. l am truly sorry that newspapers are allowed to publish accounts of robberies, suicides and high priced salaries, it only educates people to commit such crimes. The minute the Arkansas legislature heard of Taft's $10O, 600 yearly salary they asked to be put on a $1,0OO a year pension to make some laws that are dangerous to use. The Railroad Commission undertook to use one of their laws on the different railroad companies. They soon found they were about to be jailed, and had to abandon the act. It would be no use for the people to send me to the leg islature, 1 would be like some of the rest, I would not know whether it was law or not. l might ask some of the lobies for information. $1,000a year would be all right if we could get laws of vital importance and get them enforced. A check on bird hunt ing and fishing is only a minor thing. Roosevelt and Jeff Davis have fought t h spectators, trusts and combines for years, and yet we see the trusts and combines doing business at the same old stand.
 In the next sixty days the farmers of the south will shape their business for good or bad. The time is now at hand. l am unable to say what the farmers in general will do. From what can see there will be large acreage planted in cotton. l see men listing up cotton land and no corn planted nor prepared. Some have planted as high as 20 acres. This is one year if the men plant heavy in cotton they are going to get in trouble if they depend on hired help. A man can't pay over $500 or $lO. % per month and board for a hand to "a Sc Sc cotton, and then the hand gets the crop and has noth- ing at that. Most of the hands when you hire him at $S. zoo or 5000 per month will stay with you until he counts up how much that is a day and then he vacates the premises, he would be a fool if he didn't. A great many farmers say the time has come when they can't control labor and they are going to quit farm ing. There is no one to blame for not being able to pay respect able wages for farm work but the farmer who consistently keeps trying to raise Sc cotton. Any young man that would hire him. ,,tf lSe cotton at SS 0O

W. Gould BrOkaw as an Expert
On the Question
HAD BAD TIME ON STAND
Thought Man Who Didn't Take But
or 8 Drinks Day Not a Hard
Drinker

New York, Dec 2S.-W. Gould Bro
kaw had bad day of it on the stand
at Mineola, l.. l., today. He had pre-
yiously testified of his fairness tow
ard his wife but today, under cross
examination by her lawyer, he was
forced to admit that he had accused
her in letter to his mother-in-law of
loving another man. of drinking too
much port wine and of smoking cigar
cites. He also admitted that his sec
rotary Byford had assisted him in
breaking down the door of his wife's
bed room on one occasion.
Brokaw was in an irritable mood
and forgetful of details The plan
tiff, however. was in as light humor
as her husbands was dark. Almost
buried in white furs, she sat within
a few feet of the witness and smiled
often. The court room was crowded
In addition to the several interest
ing developments in Brokaws testi-
mony it became known today that
Mrs. Frank J. Gould, Lieut. Gov. and
Mrs. Horace White of Syracuse and
other friends of Mrs Brokaw had Of
fered TO appear as witnesses in her
behalf, but counsel for Mrs Brokaw
said that he considered his clients
case sufficiently strong and declined
the offer. These friends were nearly
all members of house party to
which Brokaw had strongly objected
and it is said that they are willing to
give their version of the affair
Toward the end of the afternoon
session, BrOkaW gave his definition
Of a drinking man. He had testified
before that he does not drink.
Can you recall any time when you
were in what has been called the
trivially exhiirated state?' asked
Mrs. Brokaws lawyer.

81 AUTO VICTIMS.
In State of Massachusetts During the
Past Year

The Massachusetts Highway com
omission has issued the figures of the
automobile department for the fiscal
year which ended november 30. Re
ceipts from automobilists for regis
tration certificates and licenses in
creased about 40 per cent and the
registration of cars increased approx
imately 80 per cent, the total receipts
during the year of the automobile de-
partment were Sl69,973.54, as compar-
ed with $l2l,4SS.50 for last year and
s92,09t. so in 1907 The total number
of cars registered during the year
ended November 80 was 23,902 while
in the preceding year the number
was 1852. The registration of mo-
torcycles numbered 1892 as compar-
ed with 1917 the previous year The
growth of the trade is indicated by a
gain of more than a hundred in the
number of manufacturers and deal
ers registered Last year there were
$40 and this year 491.
Statistics of accidents in which mo-
tor cars were concerned have also
been tabulated by the highway com
mission and these show an alarming
increase in the number of fatalities
The commission began keeping track
of the accidents in July, 1908 and for
the five months ending November 80,
1908 there were Is fatal accidents,
which would be at the rate of 81 for
the year. During the year ending on
November 30, 1909 there were "a ia
taities. In August alone there were
II, almost as many as in five months
of the previous year, and last month
there were 10. Injuries caused by
automobile accidents did not increase
this year over last, In the five
months of 1908 for which there are
records 1856 injuries were reported to
the commission which, if the injuries
were distributed evenly throughout
the year would make total of 1866
for 1905. This year the total number
of injuries in motor car accidents re-
ported to the commission was 969.

NEVER AGAIN WILL

America Will Soon Be Importing

FARM LIFE IS UNPOPULAR
Champ Clark, Democratic Leader
Says That Americans Are Grad
uaIIy Leaving Farms

Washington, Dec 2S.-"The pres
eut high prices for farm products
have come to stay, the rural popula-
ton is playing out, the present cen
sus, if it classes the unincorporated
villages as towns, will show between
60 and 65 per cent of population liv-
ing in towns. declared Representa-
tive Champ Clark of Missouri, the
minority leader in heNHouse today.
"At the present rate in 20 years the
United States will cease to be an ex-
porting nation for agricultural prod
ucts, except as to cotton.
"One of the principal causes of the
high prices of farm products is the
world movement of people toward. the
towns and cities While a few peo-
pie in towns and cities have gardens
and raise chickens and occasionally
pigs practically the entire town and
city population are non-producers of
anything to eat, but are consumers
only For the first time last year
Argentine beat us in exporting corn;
and Argentine and Brazil are now fix
ing to take the frozen meat trade
from us. Until we adopt the inten-
sive system Of agriculture we have
nearly reached our limit of agricul-
tural output"
