CRAWFORD CROPS
 REPORTED GOOD

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-R. P. Allen, chairman of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, a member of the commis- sicn which is building the free bridge across the Arkansas river at Van Blu ren, and one of the leading hortlcul- turalists of Crawford county, states that the reports of damage done by high water in his section of the state are all exaggerated. Commissioner Allen states that the bridge was dam @ged none at all by the recent high waters, though some of the false work pelng used by the contractors was washed away.
 -I never saw better crops in Craw- ford county than now" reports Com missioner Allen. "The corn is about the average, and cotton is as fine as ever saw it. l have been out in the fields, both upland and bottoms re- gently, and saw cotton with fruit all over it. I saw cotton as high as & mans head with bolls all the way to the top of the stalk. There is little shedding there and if the frost is late, the yield our way will be a nice one. I expect to see a 15,o00,000 crop in the United States this year"

NOT ENOUGH SUGAR
 TO LAST TWO DAYS

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-That there is not enough sugar in Little Rock to last two days, was the statement made yesterday afternoon by J. B. Dckin- son, manager of the Cooper-Seran Grocery Company.
 Sugar has advanced 20 per cent in 30 days" said MT. Dickinson. "The state is caused by the shortage, the re- fineries being 30 days behind. Nor is the condition purely local. The ad- vance and shortage is felt all over the country, and unless some of the refinelies come to the aid of Little Rock there will be a sugar famine soon."

Going Hway

If you are planning for the
summer, here's a bankers
advice. Do not carry the
money you expect to spend
on the trip, in currency.
Buy a draft. Take along
enough for present needs,
but carry the reserve in com
parative security. You may
be Johnnie Wise, but the
chances are that the only
reason you have never been
touched is because none OF
the smooth-fngered gentry
ever tried you. Expect to
pin your money in your
watch pocket? Nothing or
iginal about that. It's like
putting your pocketbook un-
der the pillow, where the
burglar will be sure to look
for it. You will carry it in
your inside vest pocket, Eas-
ier still. In that big wallet
in the hip pocket, Still
worse. What's the use of
taking chances like this?
Moreover when you can take
a draft and do things in a
safe and modern manner.

the product of institutions like

paid their way as far as they
had gone, and it was not theil

red in the face and announced
himself as follows:
"Here, nigger, what do you mean
by putting these niggers at this
table? Do you think that South

himself as to eat at the same table
with two darned Yankee niggersT
Then Colonel Andrew jackson
Caldwell arose from the table and
stormed out of the dining room
carving in his hand ar ear OF
corn which he had been MUNICH

His feelings were lacerated beyond

about telling everybody on the
