ADVERTISE ARKANSAS
 OVER UNITED STATES

Little Rock, March 26.-"Arkansas should spend $100,000 year for the next ten years in advertising the re- sources of the state,' said C. w. L.. Armour, prominent real estate deal CT of Fort Smith, after the close of the Arkansas Land Congress yesterday, land this $10O,000 so expended would put the state so far ahead of any thing else in the south or west, they would never catch up again. What Arkansas will do at the National Land and Irrigation Congress in Chi cago next year will make the other states turn green with envy. We will be in Chicago with the bells on and Fort Smith is going to have the best exhibit there I say this knowing well that the other states will have some hustling cities, too, but Fort Smith is going to put it over them all.

THE COW.

The dairy COW, if able TO express
herself in a way which the human
family would comprehend, might
well lay claim to being mans best
friend. She might establish such a
claim by calling attention the fact
that from her product and from her
carcass man manufacture more of
the necessities of life than from any
other similar source. She furnishes
these necessities to him from infancy
until such time as temporal things
are longer associated with his exis-
tance, and as she does it ungrudging-
ly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
mans necessity and his pleasure the
prosperity OF an agricultural COM
munity is more closely Unidentified
with her than with any other of the
domestic animals. The horse is quite
essential in tilling the soil, but where
necessity requires it. the sturdy son
Of the COW can take his place, as he
has done in every agricultural sec
ton on earth. The horse can only
furnish labor and can only return a
profit TO his owner when conditions
are right for returning satisfactory
grain crops. 1t is a wellknown fact
that the dairy cow is the salvation
of the farmer in times of poor crops
as he is able to convert the rough
crops which are never a total fail
ure, into dairy products which al
ways have cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertili-
ty for the soil, without which a
farm becomes less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy COW
would necessitate an almost revolu-
tionary readjustnent of man s tastes
and requirements. 1t would mean
untold suffering'and hardship. Of
course she will not be dispensed with
but her value can perhaps best be
appreciated by contemplating such
loss.
She will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family
exists and will keep on supplying
him with his greatest needs just as
she has doue through all the ages.

SMALL BLAZE

Last Monday while we were at
dinner, someone shouted fire,
and we Immediately started TO
see where it was and discovered
that it was the carpenter shop of
Uncle" Charlie Coins, a color
ed man, located on the lot in
the rear of our residence. The
fire originated from a stove
where he was preparing his noon
lunch and was we'll under way
before it was discovered. The
fire department went promptly
and within five minutes the
flames were under control, but
not until the roof and entire up
per story of the building was
destroyed.
About the only loss to Uncle"
Charley was getting his tools
wet and close shave to having
the hair singed from the top of
his head and being cut of shop
to work in.
The damage to the building
was such that it will have to be
torn down. No insurance on the
building. The fire cooked part
of the Editors green corn and
roasted his sweet potatoes and
other garden truck adjoining the
building, and for few min utes
it looked as though the Tinsley
sta BILE near by would take fire.
Uncle" Charley receive d
quite ban burn on top of his
head in some manner in the fire
which gave him quite a great
deal of pain and suffering after
the excitement was over.

r. N. Baldwin Writes From
whitley.

Mountain Advocate:-
Dear Sir: Caleb Powers and D.
c. Edwards have each travelled oveI
parts of Whitley county, and have
spoken to the people.
Large crowds have met Powers al
every appointment and an ovation
was rendered him at every point
Edwards as met by a frost at
each stop and his few followers told
him that Powers would carry the
precinct by a majority Of two to
one.
This was done in every precinct
except three where Mr.. Edwards
spoke. AS a sample of how Whitley
county listened to the two men, |
give you the following information:
Powers visited the county in May
when every ody was behind with
their farming, many times it was
raining at night and other disad-
vantageous conditions were evident.
but at no place did Powers have a
small crowd. To show YOU how
the people here have received these
two honorable gentlemen, | give
you one example,
On the 10th of August the two
gentlemen spoke at Rockhold. Ed.
wards had posted his bills announc-
ing his speaking for more than a
week Powers posted his notices
or the morning of the 10th. MIR
Edwards spoke 10 a. m, and had
the magnificent crowd of Is. Mr..
Powers spoke at l p. m, and more
than 800 were in the house all the
time, besides nearly that many on
the outside who could not get in.
This crowd was not the down. heart
ed, spiritless bunch who listened to
the matches oratory at 10 a. m.
as it fell from the lips of MIR. Ed
wards, in the morning, but their en-
thusiasm " as unbounded.
1t does not make any difference to
the Republicans Of Whitley county
what argument may be made against
Mr.. Powers now. They are I'M
changably loyal TO him as the eter-
nal hills are true to their bases.
Argument or no argument, they
have made up their minds. Caleb
Powers is bone OF our bone and
flesh of our flesh. He is blood kin to
half the families in Whitley county.
He is kin to all of them in inviron-
ment, ideals and ambition. He has
risen from the lowest walks OF the
lowly TO the highest walks of the
highly respected. He has done more
to advertise to the world the su
perb courage and manly grace Of
the Mountain people than any 9TH
er man who was ever born in the
confines of our rugged hills. He has
taught the world to respect the
Respect him for his
bravery, his wholesouled integrity
and upright character.
The people here know that a man
who has stood a flood of SANDER
and a storm of persecution as Pow.
ers has done, and at the same time
retained the respect of the civilized
world and kept the heartfelt admira-
ton of his neighbors, is a true man
and that he will not run away with
his ethics nor shatter his code of

RESOLUTIONS
Endorsing Work of DR..
HWCnCOCk Adopted by
Fourth Quarterly
Conference.
By Unanimous Rising Vote.

At the Fourth Quarterly Confer
ence, held at the First Methodist
Church in this city last Monday
night, DR.. Hitchcock announced his
intention Of asking the Bishop at
the annual Conference for a transfer
to the Florida Conference where
upon the following resolutions were
introduced and read:
600
Barbourville, KY, Aug. Is, 1910.
We, the members of the Quarterly
Conference of rhe First Methodist
Episcopal Church OF Barbourville,
learn with regret that our beloved
Pastor, Rev. John D. Hitchcock, con-
templates transferring from the Ken
lucky Conference to the Florida Con-
ference, therefore, be it;
RESOLVED: l. That we heartily
recommend Brother Hitchcock to
any conference wherever he NAV take
membership, as being an able, ear.
nest, entertaining and instructive
Minister; a faithful and earnest
worker in the Masters vineyard, and
capable OF accomplishing much good
in the Masters work;
2. That we feel that the depar.
ture of DR.. Hitchcock will be a severe
loss to the Kentucky Conference,
and that his place in the work here
will be hard indeed to ill;
3. That we recognize the good
work done by him here while our
Pastor, and as his work here is
soon to end, and our relationship as
pastor and members is about to be
severed, we wish him God speed
wherever he may go, and that our
prayers go with him and his esti-
mable family into their new field of
labor.
4. That a copy Of these resolu-
tons be handed to our Pastor, Bro.
Hitchcock, and copy to Bro T. B.
Stratton, our District Superintend-
ent, to place in the hands OF the
Bishop at the Annual Conference.
where the application for transfer
will be presented.
The above Resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the Fourth Quar-
terly Conference on August 18th.
1910, by rising vote OF all the
members present, Rev. Stratton, the
Dist. Supt. voting with the members.
DR.. Hitchcock is just closing his
third year as Pastor of this Station
and he has endeared himself very
closely to the hearts of his people
who regret exceedingly to see him
leave, but trust that his fondest
hopes shall be more than realized
when he gets located in the delight
full Southland, where his love for
the beautiful flowers will be enlarg-
ed and where he can grow them at
all seasons of the year.
HIS departure viii! cause a vacan-
cy in the Kentucky Ministry that
will be severely felt.

marks in regard to two arti
cles, which appeared in the Clay
County Clarion of August 18th
entitled, Edwards Campaign
Committee Organized" and an
other article of similar stripe
entitled, Pension Attorneys
for Pensioners Friend"
| will begin by dissecting the
first mentioned article as neal
as can. 1t begins with these
words: Most enthusiastic meet
ing ever held in Manchester was
the result of the Edwards Rally
Monday Night and after num-
Der of impromptu speeches,
etc." The number of i'm
promptu speeches were three,
one by Ye Editor of the Clay
County Clarion, which certainly
was a rouser and full of fire, vim
and eloquence as could be ex-
pected of their stripe, the lion
don Sentinel of few weeks ago
described him to be.
The next speech was made by
"jack-leg" lawyer, whose APP
pellatin is--Farmer or farmer
---, one equally as appli-
cable as the other. Last year
this self-same Farmer ---
maligned Capt. B. b. Golden, of
Barbourvil'e, for prosecuting Mr..
Powers. who was then, according
ia the impromptu speaker, an
innocent man, but who now
seems to be a d-handed murd-
erer.
Last, but not least on the pro-
gram came to Rev. K. L. Stevens,
a Baptist minister, whose con-
gregation a few months ago must
have taken him for a Pullistine,
as they performed the same
stunt with a rail as Sampson did
with the famous Jaw bone"
Rev. Stevens made a rousing
speech, but forgot to add in his
concluding remarks that tn e
cause. of his hoarseness was the
dampness of Cell No. 3, of the
Manchester Bastile, where he
had recently been confined on
charge of beating his wife with
paillng slat.
The next statement in the
article says the large court room
was almost full. We think that
Ye Editor must be joking, for we
know that a man, such as the
Sentinel described, would not
prevaricate or exaggerate about
the numbe who attended the
rally.
The crowd nun bered the I'M
lucky number, thirteen, includ-
ing two Powers men, and the
court house has a seating ca
pacity of seven hundred. Evil

when he said the court house
was almost full, or has an exag-
gerated idea of dimensions of

of Edwards as the article, Pen
sioners' Attorney for Pensioners
Friend" very little can be said
III regard to this article, except
this fellow has found a new way
of advertising his business at
Mr.. ID. O. Edwards expense. We
know that we do not need the
services of Col. Mulligan, of Lex
ington, and his d-hounds to
locate which side of the house
this gentleman is on, as they
were once used in this court
upon the trial of Arson of a man
of the same name signed to this
article to determine which side

STRATTON COLLECTS
Minimum RATES
Unable to Obtain Ruling in Tariff
Matter From Washington He
Pursues Safe Course

Washington has not used the tele-
graph to inform Collector OF the Port
Frederick S. Stratton where to apply
the minimum and maximum rates on
shipments under the Payne -Aldrich tar
iff, and so the collector is now uniform
ly charging the minimum. While he
employed the wires to inform Washing
ton that he was in doubt on the propo-
sition. no blue nor gray coated mes
senger boy has strolled into the GUS
toms house with the slip bearing the
sought for information.
Collector Stratton wishes to correct
the impression that Canadian and Chi
nese importations or any importations
pay the ma ximum. All get off easy for
the time being.
Stratton said:
The Payne law provides that the
ms maximum dn,'nI ,,r rate shall be applied to
81, 1910, unless the president de-
cides that they are entitled to the
minimum rate. This occurs in the
second section of the bill

nation is sent to the collector by

it has not been sent before now

at Washington which has caused
the delay.

port of San Francisco for all coun-
tries. ! shall not apply the maxi
mum rate to any instance until I
am notified that such shall be done,
and 1 have not done at any time
since the bill went into effect.
The statement that the maximum
rate had been applied to Chinese
and Canadian importations is err
roneous. 1 am simply waiting for
word from the capital, with the
minimum rate prevailing without
