Captain Morgan Smiths Address.


The second wet" speech Of tho
cfmpaign was delivered by Captain
Daniel Morgan Smith Saturday night
at the skating rink The captain was
advertised as the greatest speaker
on earth" and while he fell several
miles short of ti.7t claim he made
talk that seemed to please the crowd.
Just psfore closing the captain took
occasion TO remark that there would
he another speaker in the rink Mon
day night and he urged the crowd hear
him as said the captain "he is one Of
the four or FIVE men on earth / would
follow in talk; as for the rest of
Il EN- ] think | have something on
them myself and so | so home and
go to bed" Despite his bulky body
the captains egotism was decidedly
the biggest thing about him.
In beginning his talk he enumerated
some of the reasons the drys would
vote out the saloons. Tney say they
v ant to save the drunklrds The
captain was doubtful IL ii was worth
while II the drunkard would get out
Ct the way it would be small loss TO
the community He thought the
drunkards could not be saved and the
sooner they are in their graves the
better
Another cry Of the drys is to save
the boys No one has any objection.
1t is merely u question whether it can
be done by legislation or not. When-
ever you tell boy he can't do a
thing watch him do it, Many boys
row make anywhere from 50 to rs
cents a day picking up whskey bot
ties IN the alleys and they learn to
think our laws are made by one set
OF men for another Set
Another cry is that temperance and
prohibition are the same thing. This
is not true. Temperance is modera4
ton. Prohibition is fanaticism. Pro-
l.ibition Is advocated by the man who
couldn't make a success in his own
business. Voting out me regulated
saloons and bringing in the speaksas-
les Is not temperance. Prohibition
doesn't prohibit That is admitted by
vets and drys alike.
The advocates of prohibition ask
YOU to vote away temptation but Is II
4 good thing 70 get rid Of all tempta-

 President Barrett announced that he would appoint a committee of 25 to represent the snion at the cotton congress, to be held in Montgomery Ala, this week.
 The action of the convention in passing a resolution to hold cotton was not passed to scare buyers said Secretary Davis, but was to enable the planters to obtain a fair price The thousands of telegrams which have received, all recommending that cotton be held, prove beyond a doubt that the southern cotton interests are determined to get a reasonable price for their cotton

Gets Heavy Fine for Contempt of
 Court at Cotton Plant.

Cotton Plant, Ark.-Senator Elmo Carl Lee was fined $500 and sentenced to six months in jail for contempt of court, by Judge II. N. Hutton in the circuit court here.

Lee and Emmett Smith of Wynne. each of whom claimed to be the Democratic nominee for senator from the Seventh senatorial district.
 Roy Campbell. attorney for Sena. tor Carl Lee, stated after the sen. tence had been imposed that the sena- tor would ask the supreme court to review the proceedings because of al legged Irregularities in them. Pending the review by the supreme court. sen tence on Senator Carl Lee will be stayed.

WILL VOTE ON TURNER
 JACOBSON REVENUE BILL
Senator Friedell Has Filed His Petl. tions With Secretary Hodges,
 Who Win Act on Them.

Little Rock.-Senator F.. F. Friedell. Of Texarkana presented Secretary of State Hodges with trunk full of pe- titions. containing 15,044 names, ask ing that the new revenue act, the Turner-Jacobson bill, be referred to ton. Under the law only 5000 names was necessary. Senator Friedell a day or two later filed an additional thousand names.
 MT. Hodges, whose duty 1t is un- der the enabling act of the new con stitutional amendment to receive these petitions and certify out for publication the act upon which the referendum is ordered, said the cost, after careful and conservative calcu- lation, will be about $500 to the coun- ty. or approximately $35.000 for the entire state.
 T think this will provide for the legal publication of the bill, as have tried to get reliable figures in the matter.
 I shall proceed under the law to certify same out and provide for pub hcation at the proper time," said MT. Hodges. If the people desire to vote on the question that is their business. This office has nothing to do with the case except to comply with the provisions of the law, and that l shall certainly do.
 "Of course there has been no ap- propriation made for paying the cost Of publication and the newspapers VIII have to wait until the next legis- lature provides an appropriation in the way of deficiency bill to meet this cost"
 It Is claimed by opponents of the T'urner-Jacobson bill that at least 20. 900 names will be filed before all the petitions are in. and that no effort will be made to prevent it's reference to the people. The friends of the bill are relying strongly on the test case Aow before the courts. which will be heard September 18th

COTTON MEN MEET
 AT MONTGOMERY
Thousand Delegates From All Cotton Growing States
 Get Together.
WAYS AND MEANS DISCUSSED
Better Prices the Object of Confer ence in Which Men of Promi-
 hence Participated.

Montgomery, Ala. One thousand men from every cotton growing state in America met this week in Mont gomery and conferred on ways and means to rebut the figures of the fed eral cotton report and to obtain q better price for cotton.
 Among these men were numbered congressman, United States senators, the commissioners of agriculture tor their representatives) from every Southern state, together with hun dreds of farmers, bankers and busi- ness Hen scattered throughout the South.
 While nothing further than organi- zation was effected officially, this meeting of the cotton growers proved their earnestness by the appointment of four committees to be known as the committee on resolutions, market ing and financing the cotton crop, na- tional legislation and statistics, and estimate and conditions of the cotton crop. These committees were made to consist of the commissioners of agriculture of each state, three dele gates from each state and President c. s. Barrett of the Farmers Educa- tional Cooperative Union.
 One of the principal speakers was Senator E. D. Smith of South Caro- lima. who attacked the accuracy of the government report and said that the Southern farmer had lost enough money because of it to establish m Insurance department or to insure proper figures. He declared, too, that Attorney General Wickersham at tempted to break so-called monopoly to boost the price of cotton, but took no action against combinations trying to force the staple down.

Will Hold Cotton.

Shawnee.-This years cotton crop will be sold for He during September and October and 15c thereafter. This was the agreement of the cotton growers of the south attending the national farmers meeting here.
 The action, which was unanimous, was taken in adoption of the report of special committee on margin prices. The committee was composed of cotton growers who were largely influenced by scores of letters from all points of the south, many urging a minimum price of l5c.
 The organization went into execu- tive session. and it is said that every vote in the referendum election held was in favor of the plan.
 Good roads, parcel posts and dab bling in futures were discuAse by the convention.
 The report of the live stock com mittee urges diversified farming and stock raising and contains the state ment that 10000 ''milch COWS and an equal number of mother sows properly distributed throughout the south would easily add s10 bale to the price of cotton crops.
 The congressional immigration com mittee recommends increasing the head tax, including illiterate adults from America, and the lining of for eign steamships for bringing to this country undesirable immigrants that could be rejected on the other side.

HOLY ROLLERS ARE
 SOUNDLy WHIPPED
Woman Died Without Medical Attention and Aroused Ire
 of Citizens.
SEVERAL CHILDREN ALSO ILL
Twe4ty Judsonia Men Make Things Warm for Religious Sect While
 Meeting Is Going on.

Jug udfonia.-Following the circulation of aPreport that a woman member the Holy Roller" sect had died wi,h- out medical attention, and that several otheq members of the same family wereVseriously i'll, band of about 20 mAn entered the hall where the meeti4gs are being conducted, seized the 4 10 men who were leading the servicfs and horsewhipped them. This 1as followed by warning that they ldave the county immediately.
 It iststated that woman member of thet religious order died at her home. two miles west of Judsonia. without having had medical attention. An investigation disclosed the fact that several children of the family also wore seriously i'll. The feeling againststhe Holy Rollers" was further augmented by the circulation of an unconfifmed rumor that another mem- Der of the family had died. The hus- band oqth dead woman was arrested.
 When the attack was made on the Cittler hall. where the meeting was in progress, the two women who were aiding the leaders of the service were not moslested, but the men, despite their pleadings and threats of the in- vocation of divine aid, were carried from thh room and soundly whipped. Membe1 of the audience fled the hall. panic stricken, and the greatest ex. citement prevails in the ranks of the Rollers"
 The meetings began in Judsonia about two weeks ago, and at first were held at the homes of the mem- bers of the strange religious sect. Later the hall was secured, and largo crowds were attracted to the meeting. mainly out of curiosity to watch the strange antics of the believers In their religious delirium.
 The man who was arrested hero is being closely guarded in the jail, as threats of violence have been nu- merous. It is alleged that his relig- ious fanaticism Is responsible for his not summoning a physician to care for his wife and children. The case will be thoroughly investigated.

Germany and Russia Eager to Discuss Plans for the Taft Tranquility.


 Washington.-Before congress re- convenes in December the state de- partment expects to negotiate two more arbitration treaties with great powers. Germany and Russia have in- dicated they are prepared to discuss such convention.
 Should those countries join the United States, Great Britain and France in pact to submit all ques- tions to arbitration, such a combina- tion would be formed that it's moral influence would compel the remain der of the powers to follow.
 The five powers interested in this movement are the greatest on earth, with the greatest nayies and the great est volume of commerce and most splendidly developed civilization.
 Germany has asked for copies of the treaty negotiated between this country, Great Britain and Frknce. and Russia has drafts of this conven- tion, and the foreign offices of these two governments are about ready to take up the formal negotiations.
 This work will be done quietly when once begun, and probably nothing will be said about it officially until actual. results can be announced This will be just before reconvening the regu- lar session of congress.

JURY OUT ONLY 58 MINUTES
Motion for New Trial Denied, but a Stay of Execution Was Granted,
 Pending Appeal.

Richmond, Va.-Henry Clay Beat tie, Jr.. was convicted of murder in the first degree at Chesterfield court house and sentenced to electrocution on November A. The twelve Virgin la farmers who received the case re- quired only 5S minutes to find Beattie guilty of the murder of his wife on Midlothian turnpike the night of July IS. The jurors knelt in fervent prayer for Almighty guidance, then voted a unanimous verdict of "guil- ty, prayed again and marched into the crowded court room, where they announced their verdict and were discharged
 Young Beattie has shown iron nerve all along, and he seemed more con. cerned about the grief of his aged rather than in his own welfare. Try ing to console him, young Beattie said, T haven't lost yet, father" His attorneys filed motion for new trial. but Judge Watson denied it. A stay or execution was granted, however. pending an appeal to the court of ap- peals in April.
 The Jury was composed of God fearing men, and seemed to think Beatue deserving of punishment on account of his admitted infdelity to his wife and affections for pretty Beulah Binford.

Farmers Are Discouraged.

Little Rock.-Agricultural Commits sioner Clay Sloan says that the farm CTS are much discouraged over the falling off in the cotton crop since about August 1. The cotton must be at least about 30 to 40 per cent short of what the prospects were at that time" said Mir Sloan yesterday. The cotton caterpillar seems to be eating all the leaves. Some have held that this will be beneficial to the crop. but, in my opinion. it will dead en the limb and result in immature boil growth. Cotton is opening con slderably, which Is also a bad sign."

Little Rock. Ark.-The business men of Little Rock have started a move ment to induce the Frisco to extend into Little Rock. A resolution adopted by the public works committee of the board of trade was presented to Man. ager w. T. Tyler at Springfield, to the effect that the city Is vitally in. terested in building up the commerce or the entire state of Arkansas, real izing that this development means increasing business for Little Rock and an increase in the general pros perity of all citizens. Therefore the board of trade committee on public works respectfully urges and peti- uons the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad to extend it's system so as to run line to and through Little Rock, and to that end they pledge CO., operation and vigorous support.

Will Have Only One State Farm.

Little Rock, Ark.-The penitentiary board has adopted Governor Dona. ghey's recommendation for the aban- donment of the proposition of pur- chasing a second state farm for white conyicts. Attorney General Norwood opposed the governors plan. The resolution proposed by the governor and adopted follows: That owing to the fact that many of the counties have recently taken their convicts and put them on the road; that the crop on the state farm is cut short and the price of cotton gone down. and the finances of the state other. wise will not permit of its assuming further obligations, the further con. sideration of the purchase of an ad. ditional farm should be for the pres. ent abandoned"
