Am EkDMENT NO. II
Some Good Reasons Why the
People Should Adopt it

Mr.. Editor. For the last few
weeks much has been said in praise
of Amendment No. 10. To all this
we heartily agree, but we should
not let Amendment No. II go by
without serious thought. All who
have read it understand that it al
lows the exemption of cotton mills
from taxation for period of sew
en- years, if erected within ten
years from said amendment.
To our mind No II is of vast i'm
portance to the people of Arkan-
sas. It's adoption will mean a step
further in Advancement of our al
ready growing State. Cotton fact
cries is one of the great needs Of
the South. If we would make our
country great, why not offer CAPT
tai some inducement to come to
the front especially when it costs
us nothing, as in this case2 To
vote it down would not put one
dollar in our pocket, neither would
its adoption take one out. In case
the amendment is adopted and
factories built here, there would
be thousands of hands brought in
to our midst. Their personal prop
erty would be assessed just as any
one else. Their taxes would have
tobe paid and their appetite appeas-
ed. 1t is plain proposition;d do you
want Arkansas to come to the front
as a manufacturing State, or do
you want her to retain her present
back seat in this Industry
Some call Amendment No. II
class legislation. Call it what you
please, it is up to us to offer some
thing that money may be put up
in cotton mills here.
The greatest resource of the
South is its cotton crop, and will
continue, unless the weevil de-
thrones it, Southern fields alone
furnish the entire cotton produced
in the world. 1t is estimated that
its output for one year is worth
more than the worlds output in
gold for two years. Its value to
to CIVILIZATION can be realized when
we consider that our exports of
cotton to European countries for
the last fiscal year amounted to
$50 million dollars. King Cotton
stands at the head of the list.
The South furnishes Is per cent
of the worlds cotton crops. yet
she manufactures less than 10 per
cent. From an economic stand
point we would expect to find the
factories as near where the raw
material is found as is possible.
Look where the iron and steel

Albany. n. Y, Sept. 20-A clear
majority of SO votes for the selection
of Vice President Sherman as tenn
porary chairman of the New York
State Republican Convention over
Col. Roosevelt was claimed tonight
by VIM. Barnes, Jr.. as result of the
Upstate primaries today. Mr.. Bar
mes. who has been leading the fight

real contest at Saratoga will be in
the committee on resolutions. This
committee will consider the question
of direct nominations.

ment:
THE result Of todays primaries

Sherman a clear majority Of SO votes.
Interest naturally centres in the per-
sonal element. but there are involved
In this situation two principles of

ly political management. Mr.. Roose-
velt was defeated In the State COM
mittee by vote of 20 to Is and then
Mr.. Sherman was unanimously chos-
on as the temporary presiding officer
OF the State Convention. To question
that determination on the floor of
the convention is equivalent to bolt
ing nomination. This is known as
political welching. and had Mr..
Roosevelt defeated Mr.. Sherman in
.he State committee that would have
been the end of that controversy. Mr..
Roosevelt has not acted as Mr.. Sher-
man would have done In questioning
the unanimous action Of the commit
tee. They are equal before the party.
Mr.. Roosevelt was no more superior
than any other man.

GEORGIA SHOOTING SPREE.
Two Farmers Kill Each Other While
Wives Look On.

Pelham, Ca, Sept. 21.-Stopping
their buggies when they met each
other in the public road near here
today, Charles Tate and John March
ant, both prominent men of this
county, fought duel with pistols,
both dropping to the ground dead af-
ter half dozen shots had been fired
The wives Of the men sat in the bug
gies while the fight was in progress
and saw their husbands kill each
other.
Tate was a bridegroom of two
months, and his bride was the widow
of Frank Marchant, brother of the
man whom he killed and who killed
him today. The fight grew out Of an
old grudge, which at first was be-
tween Mrs. Tate's first husband and
her second husband, later, it is said,
being intensified between Tate and
John Merchant, who opposed his sis
ter-in-law's marriage with Tate, and
TOOK up the old quarrel.
When they met today Merchant
lcalled Tate to his buggy. The men
exchanged hardly a word when the
shooting began. Tate fired three
times, every bullet finding its mark.
While the bullets were cutting into
his body, Merchant fired twice, one
bullet striking Tate's hand and the
other passing through his heart. The
widows called aid and the bodies
were removed. 1t was said Merchant

the ground. Besides his wife he

SUPREME GRAND AkANIAS.
ROOSEVELT RAISED TO HEAD OF
ORDER.
The StOrers Come Back With Docu-
mentary Proof of Rough Riders
Inveracity and Calls Archbishop ~
Witness

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 21.-The
Republican tomorrow will print a
letter from Mrs. Bellamy Storer,
written in France, September 6. re-
viewing the controversy between the
Storers and Mr.. Roosevelt concern
ing the former presidents alleged
authorization Of the former ambas-
sador to Austria-Hungary to visit
Pope Plus x and ask him as a favor
to the president of the United States
to make Archbishop Ireland of st.
Paul cardinal.
Letters written by the archbishop
in 1903 and 1904 hitherto unpub.
lished are quoted by Mrs. Storer to
show that at repeated interviews in
the White House between the arch
bishop and president, Mr.. Roosevelt
acknowledged that he had commits
stoned Mr.. Storer to act as his per-
sonal envoy at the Vatican in behalf
Of the archbishop. Mr.. Roosevelt has
hitherto publicity denied that Mr.
Storer was ever authorized to repre-
sent him in this manner and the Ire
land letters. now published by Mrs
Storer, have the effect Of making
much sharper the issue Of veracity
between the Storers and the express
ident.
Mrs. Storer's letter to The Repub-
lican also seeks to prove on the test
imony of Archbishop Ireland that
President Roosevelt promised to
make Mr.. Storer United States EN-
bassador at Paris or London and
there is still another letter alleged to
have been written by Mr.. Roosevelt
to Mr. .Storer just after the presi.
Dental election in 1895 in which Mr.
Roosevelt asked Mr.. Storer to Sc.
President Mckinley and urge him t.
appoint Mr.. Roosevelt assistant sec.
retary of the navy. The last letter
seems to refute a recent assertion
that Mr. Roosevelt never sought a
public office except when he sought
presidential nomination in 1904.
