HENRY HARDING MUST HANG
Date of Execution to 3e Named by
 Governor Donaghey.

P. D. English, clerk of the Arkansas Supreme Court, has served official no- tice on Governor Donaghey of the ac- tion of the supreme court in affirming the judgment of the Cross county cir cult court in the case of Henry Hard ing. sentenced to be executed for kill ing J. T. Patterson at Wynne on Oeto- Der 10, 1909. It is now the duty of the governor to fix the date for the execution of Harding.
 The killing of Patterson grew out of dispute over an attorney's fee, Pat terson having successfully represented Harding in a case in the Cross county chancery court. Harding was convict ed of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to be hanged at Wynne on December 31, but the execution was stayed to enable him to appeal his case to the supreme court. Three weeks ago that court affirmed the judgment of the lower court. Harding is about 40 years old and was engaged in farm ing in Cross county. He IS said to have about S10,000 worth of property against which there is a Judgment of sS,25O in favor of the Patterson heirs, secured by the latter in a suit for dam ages for the killing of Patterscn.

NoRwooD DEs1eNATEs VOTERS.
Poll Tax Receipt Required at Primary
 Election

hleCllOn.
 Attorney General Norwood has hand ed down an opinion touching the quail fieations of voters in the state He says:
 person is not qualified elector as required under the general election laws of the state unless he paid poll tax at the time of collecting taxes next preceding the election at which he pro- poses to vote, or unless he has attained the ago of 21 years since the time of assessing taxes next preceding such elec- tion.
 ''The act of 1909 is a re-enactmens of Kirby's Digest, and section of this act says; The time for collecting taxes, as this term is employed in the constitution in connection with the pay ment of poll taxes, is the period be- tween the first Monday in January and the Saturday next preceding the first Monday in July, and that any person liable to pay poll tax, and who has paid the same at any time within the dates named shall, if possessed of the other requisite qualifications, be enti- tied to vote at any election held in this state at any time before the first Mon day in July of the year succeeding hat in which tn payment is made.
 It therefore follows that before person can vote in the primary to be held on March 30 he must have paid his poll tax between the first Monday in January and the Saturday preceding the first Monday in July in the year 1909, or have become of age since the time for the assessment of taxes in 1909. In other words, he must have a poll tax receipt for his poll tax of 1908 and paid by him between the dates men, toned in the year 1909, and such re- eeipt entities him to vote at any cleo, tion held before the first Monday in July 1909.
 A tax receipt obtained during the present time for collecting taxes will entitle a man to vote at any election held between July, 1910, and July, 1911, but does not qualify man to vote in the coming primary.

An Egg Within an Egg.

Marked Tree.-Mrs. Paul Leather wood, wife of the cashier of the Bank of Marked Tree, has the prize hen of this town. It is only common breed biddy, but she gets there just the same. The hen has a nest all to herself and she lays double-shelled eggs-two at time-both in one shell, though the in ner egg has 3 shell also. The eggs are good deal larger than the ordinary ones, and as the bank cashier is very fond of this delicaey, Mrs. Leather wood, in preparing some for his break fast last week, selected one of these large eggs. On breaking the shell she was greatly surprised to ind beside the white and yelk, another perfectly formed egg eneased in it's shining shell.

ing sun found them still in the fray. The session has lasted more than p hours and there is little indication that it will end soon.
 Time after time the regulars have been voted down on motions to ad- journ and other motions which they hoped would add to their comparative strength,
 Representative Norris of Nebraska, a Republican insurgent who intro, duced the resolution, declares that if the speaker refuses to rule on the resolution he will be deposed and another speaker elected. Cannon's term as speaker expires March next, and under the rules he might refuse to the very last day of his office to rule on the question. Such obsti- nancy, Norris declares, would result in insurrection and the overthrow of Cannon as speaker.
 On the other hand, the allies assert that the moment the resolution is speaker will lose his power by the amending of the committee on rules.
 Streaks of dawn Altering through the windows of the capitol Friday morning lighted upon 100 heavy-eyed and careworn, aggressive statesmen, wrangling in the chamber of the house of representatives. A little later, when Old Sol peeped in, he blinked with surprise when he ob- served that the house was still doing business after a continuous session of Is hours.
 At a. m. determined steps were taken to arrest congressman who had slipped away from the all-night ses- sion to enjoy the comfort of their homes This move was undertaken by the insurgent Republicans and Democrats who had maintained steady control of the situation and who sought a quorum in the hope that they might achieve one of the plost revolutionary victories in the history of the house.
 Sinnott, Democratic assistant ser geant-atarms, proceeded to swear in 20 deputies, with instructions to get results, Speaker Cannon refused to issue formal warrants for the arrest of members, but the deputies got after them anyhow.

EVILS OF COTTON GAMBLING
Speculation in Product Robs Southern Farmer of S to s7.5o on Every
 Bale Raised.

The public has been facing another one of those spectacular cumulative feats Of the bulls and bears, which mas come at time. and in a way. that the skeptic or unbeliever, hereto fore. that speculation in farm prod ucts, and especially in futures, had nothing to do with making of prices but supply and demand directed spec sIlation and made prices-certainly has all the logic knocked out of his argument. writes ". B. Yeary. in Farm and Ranch.
 We find the shortest cotton crop in many years compared with the de- nand for it, and a scrap in the pit" between bulls and bears has reduced the price of spot cotton from five dol lars to s7.50 per bale, and no argu- Enent. figures or statistics quoted. have one scintilla of effect on the market. The only cause that can be seen is financial might on the one side, try Ing to crush the same on the other, for the purpose of gain, as in any other game of gambling. and to pre- vent the establishment of high level mark for cotton.
 The question arises, is this a healthy condition for the business of the coun- try to depend upon. or be governed sFCy? Let every business man think and answer for himself, also every producer Has this wild method of high finance injured anyone: and if so, who? Will the public feel it? Let 1s see where some of this slump will end and who will be affected.
 In every community in the south farmers have some cotton on hand. They are hurt from five dollars to 2 s7-50 per bale, and their merchants and banks are hurt just the same amount. In each community there are me or more cotton buyers or firms that have fro.n a few hundred bales to 2 few thousand
 They have not necessarily been -speeulating. but their holdings repre- sent the accumulations of recent purchases and odds and ends that could not be sold or shipped out en- firely without loss in some way. Hn many instances these buyers are our best and most enterprising men, and in many instances their losses to-day would literally wipe them off the face of the earth, finan- egiaiIy. They have strained every point to give all they could for this cotton; and every producer and every business interest the producer came fu contact with was benefited by this price paid. Now, everyone who comes in contact with this buyer is hurt in the same proportion.
 So, we see business is not only dis sfurbed, but hurt. throughout the sec rflOn where such products are raised.
 Certainly the conditions and facts are so plain this time that doubt no Tonger fingers in anyone's nina as to nhe taneful effects of such practices.
