Protest u lllIl4 Joints

AS a citizen Of jackson coun-

| saw last night on visit to one
of Newport's blind tigers, which
goes by the name of cider joint.
Nothing but the old time blind
tiger with a new name. Men aid
boys get drunk under a new
name "Cider-eye." Mr.. Officer,
what are you doing to stop these
Joints? | know one officer who
took a young man in hand right
at the very door of one of the
joints and threatened to Jail him
while the jointist ran serenely
on dishing out the spiked cider.
| have every reason to believe
the said officer had been put
next" and was only performing
his part of the game to get the
drunken young man out of sight
for it made things look bad for
the .iointist-things were getting
too plain. This young man was
showed out the back way by one
of the proprietors of the above
mentioned joint and told to stay
out as he was getting too
drunk in there"
In the name Of common decen-
cy why don't we good citizens of
Newport put an end to all cider
joints? We will have it to do if
it is done for | have asked Off
Gals to do it and stralghtway

large safe manufacturing con-
Germ who has just returned to
Little Rock from a tour of the
state in which he visited a num-
Der of banking institutions.
"Why even good portion Of
the banks have safes which
could be opened by an amateur
craftsman. A little nitro-gly-
cerine and the work is done.
| have seen a number of bank
safes which are being used
merely because the insurance
companies will accept them,
when the bank people them
selves know the safe is not a
strong one, and that money
placed in it is liable to be lost at
any time. | do not believe the
yeggmen who have been operat-
ing in Arkansas are more than
amateurs for if they were more
than otherwise, they would

SWindle-DOWeu.

The elegant residence of Mr..
and Mrs. S. G.. Dowell was the
scene of one of the most bril-
liant home weddings of the sea-
son. Thursday evening at 8
o'clock DR.. J. C. Swindle was
united in holy wedlock to Miss
Minnie Dowell, Rev. Father
Strobel officiating.
At the appointed hour the
sweet strains of the wedding
march, deftly played by Miss
IlMinnie Less, accompanied by
Miss Brooksie Gooch on the VIC
lin, were waited through the
spacious building.
The bride entered on the arm
of her father, who gave her
away. The bridal party took
their stand in an alcove in the
library, which was decorated in
the color scheme, and the arch
way studded with tri-colored
lights. This is where the magic
words were said which made the
couple man and wife.
The bride, the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. C. Dowell,
was lovely in white satin lace
with pearl trimmings, Mrs. B.
M. Shipp, maid of honor, was
arrayed in pink. The brides
maids, Misses Ruth and Cecilia
Dowell were gowned in pink and
white bordered messaline and
carried pink killarney bouquets.
The groom and bride-grooms,
Marvin Collier and Carrick
White wore the conventional
black.
The pretty little flower girl,
Margaret Spikes, ring bearer
Walter Dowell, Jr., and ribbon
bearers Clyde Roberts, Rachel
Sexton, Remona Surridge and
MAX Hughes were in pure white.
The dining room wore the
Christmas colors. The library,
reception hall and parlor were
decorated in pink and white car
nations and holly.
After the ceremony was over
q sumptuous wedding feast was
served to all the guests and all
went merry - the proverbial

| BILE chiefly as it may be a guide
for the future. The year 1911
hos marked the end of a cotton
famine, and an era of compare
lively high prices, and the year
1912 seems likely ito find the
world supplied with sufficient
cotton to meet its requirements
for the balance of the so-called
cotton year, which ends August
80, 1912.
It is probable, in fact, that
this years crop is large enough
to supply the demand up to Oc-
tober 81, 1912, or two months
after the time at which next
years crop shall be available.
This is all that can be expected
from the widely advertised sur
plus of this years cotton pro-
duction, and when the fact is
stated in this way there would
seem to be but little justification
for any expectation of lower
prices.
In no other important indus
try that I know of is a surplus
the equivalent of two months
consumption after two years of
famine regarded as a sufficient
justification for panic prices and
sales below the cost of prOduc-
ton.
The Southern producers Of
cotton seem to have come to this
conclusion largely as a result
of the Convention of Governors
of the Cotton States held in New
Orleans in October, and the
thanks of the entire Southern
community, both business men
and farmers, are due to the Fort
Worth Record" and it's editor,
MIR. Clarence Ousley, for their
enterprise in calling and organiz-
ing this convention at the oppor-
tune moment. Its presentation
of the facts of supply and con-
sumption no doubt prevented a
panicky decline in the market,
and resulted in deliberate and
forehanded treatment of the
situation that has enabled the
Southern cotton producer to OBJ
tain at least cost for that por-
ton Of years cotton crop
which READY been sold.
