TWENTY-THREE
 CENT COTTON
Y. q. Brown Sold 100 Bales Of l-4- Inch Staple Cotton Yesterday TOT
 Sll.50O-P. P. Byrd Was the Pur-
 chaser.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 30.-T. (. Brown. one of the best farmers ill the State. d citizen of Fouche Dam vicin- ity. brought a sample of cotton to Lit tie Rock yesterday and sold 100 bales of it to P P. Byrd for 23 cents per pound. This price, based on the aver age of 900 pounds to the bale, vii! net MT. Brown total of $11 LOO.
 No doubt this is the highest price ever paid for cotton in Little Rock, at least since the Civil War, and it is doubtful if even in those days of high prices any ever sold higher than that. But this cotton was a very fine sam pie. Some of the cotton men who eX- much as an inch and a half, others said an inch and three-eights, but none of them measured it at less thar an inch and quarter.
 This 100 bales sold today will be
  sinned, all of it. and is ready for de- livery
 But this is not the whole story. Mr. Brown has something over an other 100 acres of the same sort of cotton that has not been picked, and this he says, will produce another 100 bales. This means that he will get total of something like $23,OOO for his cotton crop, and it is very like ly that by the time the other 100 bales have been picked the market will have advanced and he stands a good chance to get 25 cents or more when he is ready for the market again.

Pine Bluff should get one of the four agricultural schools to be estab- hshed in this state in the near fu- ture. It will be worth half million dollars to Jefferson county, not con- sidering the natural good that will re- suit from an institution of that char acter here. Judge James Gould is a member of the board of the Fourth District and he will have much weight in locating one of the much sought schools in Pine Blur.
