COTTON CROP
 A BIG SUCCESS Clifton Howell President of Hammett Grocer Co.,, Re
 turns From Trip.
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
For Big trep-Corn and Ila. PIenti- ful-Planters Putting Grim
 i'll the Boil NerYil,

According To Clifton Howell. rrcsi- dent of the liammett Grocer Company, who returned yesterday from a trip throughout Southeast Arkansas and Northern Louisiana, during which he inspected the crops on many of the largest plantations, there will be a better yield in cotton and other larm products than last year. At least this is the outlook from q eonserya- tive standpoint and MT. lI0Wells iu- spection trip was a thorough and systematic one.
 The prospects for q better crop than last year are exceptionally bright, said Mr Howell The in- dications are that the receipts of gin ned cotton at stations south of Var her, Arkansas, will be from fifteen 10 forty per cent in excess of that of last year. While the boil Weevil has put in it's appearance in great quantities on plantations from Port land, Ark, south to Jones, La, the cotton crop has not been materially hurt. Some of the new squares have sustained damage from the insect, but the planters are handling the situa- tion well and in some instances are carrying out the instructions and ad- vice of government experts in system- atic farming. They are working the crops vigorously and by this method are putting a crimp in the weevil
 At Wilmot, all along the bayou, bolls are open in large numbers and picking ought to begin within the next week or ten days. On my recent trip saw cotton stalks in the fields, just lots of them, six feet high, and they are heavily fruited At some places a good many bolls are on the ground, because of excessive rains. The corn crop is good and hay plen- tiful and the sorghum mills are mak- ing preparations to handle the big crop '
 MT. Howell is optimistic over the bright prospects for successful cot ton crop this season. His recent in- spectiOn tour was made with view to personally reporting conditions to the directors of the Hammett Grocer Company, which has one of the larg- est cotton departments of any whole sal, grocery house in Southeast Ark anSaS

 Captain R. D. Watts, of the local Salvation Army corps, yesterday found one of the little Clifton child ren, six years old, in an old tent in the eastern suburbs of the city, and took him to the Salvation Army head quarters to be cared for and given medical attention. The little fellow was suffering from fever and was un- attended. Captain Watts says the boy is quite sick. The other two Clifton children, who with their moth- CT were recently deserted by their father, J. P. Clifton, have been at the Salvation Army home for several days The mother is being cared for in the new Davis Hospital Clifton was arrested several days ago for non-support, but was released. His son says he left the city, taking houseboat with him. The boy was left in the tent and was found yes- terday by some residents of the east ern part of the city, who notified Captain Watts. A Mrs. Beaver, an unfortunate white woman, who was recently deserted by her husband, is also being cared for by the Salvation Army. Captain Watts says the funds of the local corps are such as to make the homeless ones burden on him and he urges Pine BIuffians to aid him financially in caring for fbopo

Haggleton was again struck by her

Come along. joe" said Gentle
"YOu know. Mr.. Haggleton," began
Jenny. Il told you after my husband

all alone and so lonely in that beauti.

Yes, Jenny. You told me-"
81 can prove it ALL" she announced
triumphantly. 81 have his letters
here"
Ha"~leton had often thought of this
skeleton in the family closet of the
unsuspecting Margaret when she had
betrayed more plainly than usually her
youthful contempt for the weaknesses
and stumblings of poor human nature
But of these letters he had known
nothing. So there were discriminating
documents in the house of Lawrence
as well as in that of Haggleton. Well,
well.
Jenny held out the letters.

He saw her meaning plainly now.
why should l take these letters?"
he asked
II know more than you think. Mr..

Lawrence. She looks down on you.

"She would be unhappy"

Now her better nature won.
Yes. see," she said with frank con-
triton. Its wrong. Joe suggested

She laid the package on the table be-

"AIl right" he said. II will burn
them"

"GOOd night. Jenny, and good luck to
you. You will find Joe at the end of
the hall and can go out with him."
IF you don't mind. sir she STAN
mered. tell Phi. that wish him luck
Good night.'
She was gone.
Haggleton returned to the table. took
up the package of letters and looked
at it passively. Here was his last
trump. He knew it. Haggleton STIR
red impatiently Why could not Mar
garet be a little reasonable? Why did
wisdom come so late in life? These
letters might prove to her that she had
no right to judge and condemn Philips
father. But. then. it would make her
unhappy. and should Philip ever
know
Haggleton weighed the package in
his hands. bordering. Gradually q
light came into his eyes. He had found
the way!
Philip should not suffer. 1t was he,
Haggieton. who would renounce.
He had learned to do his loving him.
self.
He approached the open fire in the
huge fireplace. but ere he could thrust
into it's glow the compromising letters
Margaret and Gentle entered. He has.
tily placed them on the mantelpiece
and faced around interrogatively.
Margaret was in street costume.
GOOD evening"" said Haggleton
"Are you going out. Miss Lawrence"
Miss Lawrence is leaving u.s. said
Gentle. His voice was grieved and
disappearing.
You are not going to marry Philip
mo. You and he are one flesh, as
you said yourself. l have no right to
come between you"
But you love him still"
81 love him more"
'"This will be a great shock to Phil.
ip. 1t may set back his recovery"
The girl saw his intent. Her face
grew cold and obstinate.
HE is quite we'll" she answered in
her professional tone, "and-he is q
man."
"Listen to me-"
Margaret steeled herself.
'"Tbere is nothing you can say" she
announced. II cannot change"
Haggleton took up the package OF
letters.
''No." he said half aloud. as If tc
himself. you cannot change"
She loved Philip. oh, yes, she reflect
ed, but she loved her grievance more
and most Of all her conception of her
own superior righteousness.
He stood there near the fire. He
looked tired and old, but in his eyes
shone a great light.
Margaret was determined to end this
painful interview
Il cannot live under this roof" she
announced with an air of finality-"un-
der the same roof with the man who
ruined my father"
1T is bad business running another
person. eh?" asked Haggleton in a
curious tone of voice
He looked again at the bundle in bis
hands. then turned and threw it into
the fire. watching the flames leap uI
around it.
Margaret watched him anxiously
What were those papers? Why did he
destroy them now?

lifting his bowed head and squaring
his dropping shoulders. Il will get my

He went to the door. With his hand
on the knob he turned and added:
