STATES CROP WILL
 BRING BIG MONEY

Little Rock, Sept. 24-Superlntend- ent James Pitcock yesterday returned from the state farm, where he took nearly 300 negro convicts Tuesday and landed them safely without a single one attempting to make his es- cape. Superintendent Pitcock says the negroes all went right to work in the field and are picking out thou sands of pounds of cotton daily. He estimates the crop to be about 1000 bales, which is some better than last year, and it may go to 1900 bales This would be much better than any season before on account of the high price. Superintendent Pitcock will rush the ginning of the cotton so it can be placed on the market as soon as ginned and the state get the bene- fit of the present high prices. The cotton from the farm is of the same long staple as is raised in the vicinity of Hope, where cotton is now bring ing as high as l9 and 20 cents a pound.

BOOM MORR|LTON
 MAN FOR GOVERNOR

Morrilton, Sept 24- The latest sensation in political circles is a boom which has just been inaugurated here to elect Freed Hutto to succeed Don aghey in the governors office. The announcement is hardly taken se- riously here, although MT. Hutto's home paper, the Democrat, has long editorial thi sweek endorsing him for the position. It says, in part:
 He has served this county thrice as circuit clerk and made one of the best the county has ever had. He served one term as sheriff and made an ideal official. He is a man of the masses, a good mixer and a hot cam paigner. He is young man, full of energy and hustle and the distance is never too great nor the path too rough for Freed Hutto to travel to ac- commodate a friend or to fight De mocracy's battle. This is written without his knowledge and we do not know that he would make the race but we believe if he will but listen to the call of his friends he will be the next governor of Arkansas. And when he is elected none but the Dem ocrats will be appointed to office and the satellites of Powell Clayton, who now are feeding at Democratic ta- ble, and laying plans to defeat the will of the people, will have to get out and seek jobs elsewhere. Freed Hutto will make us a good governor and lets give him the office"

SCHOOL BOOKS

We have in previous lads" and ar icles in this paper shown that we are practically giving 100 cents for every collar given us for school books, this icing the case you will readily see hat we cannot afford to take any chance on losing anything, and since chool books are sold almost entirely during the big rushes, the chances to fail to make charges are about ten to one; and years of experience has taught us that anyone during such rushes will overlook charges, there fore we have for the past two years tried to sell school books for cash and make no charges to any one, but not withstanding our advertising, many come to us and ask us to charge them with books, hence we have decided to take the chances on charges to GUS toners who have accounts with us and prefer to have them made at an addition of 10 per cent.
 We do not want to be misunder stood We want your book trade and it, but no one can afford to charge school books and take the risk that is unavoidable-that of fail ing to get it on the ledger. We trust that the patrons of the public school will, as far as it is possible, come in next week and buy the books needed as we can tell you exactly what you need if you know to which grade you belong.
 Trusting our friends and custom ITS will appreciate our position in the above mentioned stand, we are,

why he didn't tell Bill hisself. While
they were arguing about it, Bill got his

for him. Seth started for home on the
