SPOKE FOR PERCY.
Judge Cox Takes a Lofty View
OF the Contest.

100SAAAesAt A~ ASDst 49,
Judge w. M, Cox, of BALDWIN.
Miss, spoke here today in the
interest of the candidacy of Lee
Roy Percy for the United States
senate. The speaking was held
in the Fairview high school
building. Prof. S. Mayhall, prin-
cipal of the school, introduced
the speaker as a man of pro-
found judgment and great learn
ing and commended him to the
audience as an exemplary citizen
and a man upon whose judgment
the people might rely in the
coming contest.
Judge Cox spoke for two hours
in his eloquent and profound
style, delivering one of the
greatest and far-reaching argu-
ments that it ever has been the
privilege of the voters of this
community to hear. He prefaced
his remarks by saying that he
was not prompted by any motive
other than what he termed pa
triotism, in taking the stand that
he had chosen in the contest, as
he had not accepted any propo
sitions for pay nor did he have
any ambition to ever be a candi-
date for office. He said that it
was no selfish motive that he had
in opposing Vardaman or Alex
ander, for they had really shown
him more favors than Percy in
the past.
During his two hours speech
he never referred to a single
charge brought against either of
the men who aspire to be sena-
tor. His speech in the main was
a mastery line of reason endeav-
oring to show that the proposed
changes in our constitution was
fallacy. He dwelt at length
upon the amendment proposition,
giving statistics and citing incl
dents in the North, endeavoring
to prove that the North did not
concur in the idea that these
changes could be effected. He
said that we had a race question
and would always be confronted
by the issue. He declared that
a change in the 14th amendment
would affect the white people as
we'll as the negro, and that he
had never been able to see where
| Vardaman had ever given his
proposed notifications and free
ly admitted that he could not
give any desirable notifications,
nor did he believe that the gov
ernor could do so.
Furthermore, he remarked
that he believed that the reason
Vardaman did not venture his
plans or notifications was that
he did not want to become the
laughing stock of the, people.
The speaker quoted from Sam
Slick in regard to building a
house. He said that we might
tack on a board or cover our
house, but we had better be very
cautious while fooling with the
foundation. He said from the
point of craftsmanship h e
thought that Vardaman should
give his notifications before
asking the people to elect him
senator. He declared that he,
might as well contend for the re-
peal Of the Is h amendment, as
it would be as easily repealed as
| the other at present. but he said
lit would be a ruination to US to
put the negro back into slavery
as the rich would own them and
the poor people would BE- oppres-
sed. He showed by our state
constitution and laws that We
had the negro where he wanted
him and that the howl was ali
about nothing. and that our peo-
pie were becoming divided and
that the only hope for white su.
premacy was solidarity in senti-

The larch In Labrador.

The soil and atmosphere are 50 cold
and dry in faraway Labrador that
scarcely any vegetation thrives at all.
The larch is species of pine tree
which is found in all northern coun'
tries, but its growth is so stunted in
Labrador that a specimen found on
the most southern part of that dreary
land was but nine inches in height and
the trunk was but three-eighths Of an
inch in diameter. A careful examina-
ton Of the miniature tree revealed its
age to be at least thirty-two years, for
there were that number of ring
growths shown in its small trunk. The
very cold currents pouring down from
the north and the fact that Labrador
has less sunshine than Alaska. to-
gether with several inland climatic
conditions, make the summer seasons
shorter and colder than are those Of

1t must be remembered in stacking
flax that the straw has very little
cape bility of shedding rain and that
as soon as the warm weather sets in
such wet straw molds and decays
quickly; also that when flax seed is

the flax will be subject to heating and
bin burning, as soon as the weather
is warm enough to allow mold growth
to occur.
Cne very good reason for trying to
get the flax off the ground during the

not muddy and the work of taking it

have not been able to lay down
anv definite rules for procedure with
regard to threshing flax after snow
fall for the reason that it is neigh
borhood condition and on almost every
farm the conditions are somewhat
different. Sometimes the flax was
thoroughly ripe and ready to thresh
when snow came; sometimes the flax
was cut green with lots OF green
foliage on it. and was not ready to
thresh when the heavy freeze and
snow came on.
In most cases, as in the case above,
the snow was preceded by rain so
that ice formed on the straw ana
bolls before the flax was showed IN

follows:
If the flax was we'll matured and the
straw was dry before the snow came
and if there were not too mucn ice
formed on the stems, leaves and bolls
before the snow fell, l believe that
would. as many farmers did last win
ter continue their threshing opera
tions during the cold weather before
the snow is moistened up by thawlng
and rains. To do this will not be pos
sible where the snow is too Deep
but in most cases the snow is not so
deep that one cannot shake the flax

be to shake out the flax with 1orKs'
and stack it up into small loose COCKS:

The person who undertakes to save
the grain in this manner must make
I'M his mind to have large storage
Mace where the seed may be
handled over and the large chunks OF
ice screened out by means OF tanning
mill or other grader.
In case flax was cut green and
frozen up before it was dry and In
case the flax was wet by heavy rams

would be inclined to follow the meth

namely. as soon as snow goes OF IN
The spring to shake up the flax and
dry it in the winds of March ana
April. Put it into loose stocks and
thresh it from stock as soon as Dry

set in.
It will, l think, be seen. from these
that no one can give
advice which will fit all cases. The

GOVERNOR CALLS
 MASS MEETING
Object Is to Aid in Movement Started at Montgomery to Secure Better Prices for CottOn-Will
 Be Held September 20.

Little Rock, Sept. Ex-Governor Donaghey yesterday Issued d call for a mass convention to be held in Little Rock on September 30, in connection with the Farmers Union, the call for the meeting of the Farmers Union having been issued by George A. Cole, president of the state organization. The ob- ject of the meeting is to discuss ways and means for securing a bet ter price for the seasons crop of cotton.
 The official call of the governor for the meeting is as follows:
 My attention has been called to the cotton holding movement begun at Montgomery during the recent meeting called by the commission CTS of agriculture. Acting upon the suggestions there made, I hereby call upon the citizens of this state, from all walks of life, to meet in mass convention in connection with the meeting of the Farmers Union, called by the state president for September 30, in Little Rock, at the state capitol building.
 ''The object of the meeting will be to discuss ways and means for furthering the campaign already begun toward securing a good price for this years cotton.
 Having. a great interest in the financial prosperity of the citizen ship of the state, 1 desire to see a large attendance at this time. Cot ton is the basis of our material and the question of it's economic marketing is of vital inn portance to every business man in Arkansas.
 "The entire South is interested, and similar meetings will be held in each of the cotton producing states. am desirous that Arkansas be sec ond to none in this advance move nent, for the marketing of cotton in the most sensible way will in- sure a fair profit to all interested ID it's production and sale.
 This is for the benefit of all in- terests. It is a cold-blooded busi- ness proposition and each interest should take particular pains to see that it has reputable representa- ton. It is an undisputed fact that it is far more profitable to all con- cerned that we market a 100000 bale crop at i5 cents than to raise a 100000 bale crop and market it for 10 cents. The present condition of our crop will not, i'll my judg- ment, warrant an estimate of 900,- 000."

BOYS CORN CLUB
 SHOW AT STATE FAIR
Little Rock Gives Up Show to Hot Spring s-Pers0nal Notices Will Be Sent Out to
 Members Later.

The annual state contest among the Corn Club Boys will be held this year at the State Fair, Hot Springs, October 9-i4, instead of Little Rock in November. This is necessitated on account of the fact that the Corn Show proper at Little Rock did not materialize, and Little Rock did not feel it equitable to be held respon- sible for only a portion of an ex- hibit. That is to say, the Boys Corn Club exhibit was to be part of the general Corn Show, a show contem- plated to be of considerable mag nitude. This general plan, however, failed of maturity, and as a result Little Rock asked to be relieved of her obligations to the Boys Corn Club part. Those in control of the Corn Club work granted this re- quest, and in turn laid plans before the State Fair for making the Corn Club exhibit a part of that show. The State Fair has accepted these plans, and will make ample provis- ion for the boys exhibits.
 A encouragement of the prizes of fered is being made, and public no- tice will be given later. Notice will also be sent directly to each member of the Boys Corn Clubs.
 Rivalry among the contestants promises to be greater this year than ever before. Membership to the clubs has not only increased, but the work is better understood, and judging from reports, the boys are more anxious to enter the final con- test.
 Any special inquiry will be ans wered by c. F. Adams or H. 5. Mob- ley at Fayetteville, Ark.
