 He pledges himself to furnish this sum if we will raise $662.5O per county, making 5000 with which to pay a county demon strator for nine months work. LET'S RAISE IT. The last leg islature enacted a statute au- thorizing the Quorum Court of each county to make an appro- priation for payment of de- monstrator. This court will meet in each county on the 4th Wednesday in October. See the county judge and the justices of the peace and get them to ap- propriate the S662.5O.

START COTTON
 HOLDING MOVEMENT
In Convention At Littles Rock Called By DOnaghey
 And Cole.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 30.-At 10 a. m. today the Cotton Holding Convention was called to order in the hall of the House of Re- presentatives, with a large at- tendance of representative bus mess men, bankers, merchants and planters from all over the state. President George A. Cole, of the Farmers Union called the meeting to order and is presiding. J. B. Payne, secre- tary of the State Farmers Un- ion, has been in the city several days making arrangements for the meeting, which was called jointly by President Cole and Governor Donaghey.
 The purpose of the meeting is to devise plans for the holding of the 1911 crop for better prices than appear to be pron1is- ed at the present time. Secre- tary Payne says there has been a great deal more holding in the past than has been generally known.
 It is estimated that about 60,- 900 bales have been carried heretofore. Should the crop this year amount to 100000 bales, it is thought that 15O,0OO bales may be held as a result ot the movement being set on foot here today. One of the difficult ties in the way has been that so many of the farmers have spent their crops before they are gathered, and are usually one year behind. It is believed that the few who will hold will teacF those who do not.

Fee Case Transcript Filed.

Y Little Rock, Sept. 29.-A suit involving an interesting point in the Patterson act providing for the working of convicts on the county roads has been ap- pealed to the State supreme court, under the style of Jack son County vs. H. c. Nuckolls, justice of the peace, from the Jackson county circuit court. The particular question is as to whether or not a justice of the peace court fee for costs can be collected before the fine and costs have been worked out, where the convict is placed on the road under the act of 1909.
 Nuckolls, justice of the peace in Union township, Jack son County, tried one Bill Scott on charge of gaming. Scott was convicted. Being unable to pay his fine and the costs, he was placed under the county warden at work on the Jackson county roads, the county having been formed into a road district for this purpose under the Pat terson act.
 The fee bill of Judge Nuckolls was $3.90, and he put in the claim against the county before the fine and costs assessed against Scott had been satisfied by his work on the county roads. The county court disallowed the claim, holding that the court claim could not become due against the county until after the entire fine and costs had been paid or worked out by the convict. Judge Nuckolls took the case to the circuit court, where it was heard on an agreed statement of facts. The circuit court held that the court costs became due as soon as the con viction was had, and that thu
 claim should have been allowed
 by the county. The county ha
 appealed from this finding, ant
 the supreme court has been ask ed to settle the question.

Farm Demonstration.

We have an agricultural de- partment at Fayetteville Uni versity, four agricultural col Ieges in the state and the ele- ments of agriculture taught in all our school districts. All these are for the coming agri- culturist, the school boy. Suffi- cient preparation is being made for our agricultural future, but none of them touch the all inn portant "Now." The crop of 1912 is most important. From it we must have a living. Con- sidering our immediate agrlcult- ural betterment, the work of farm demonstration is most inn portant. The employment of a man for each county, Who IS both scientific and practical, whose duty it is to attend upon each farmer, whether he be ten ant or owner, his crop large or small, and inform him of the best methods and assist him by ac- .tual demonstration in the field, to apply these methods.

PLANTING Wedding Oaks.

Princess August Wilhelm, wife or
the kaiser's fourth son. has set herself
the task Of reviving one of Germany's
oldest customs, that according TO which
newly welded couples Immediately af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side in a.
park or by the roadside OF their ma
tive town.
The town of Mulchausen, in Thurin-
gia, is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal official APP
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in car
riage to new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector of Brandenbur9
with the object Of repairing the raw
ages caused by the 80 years war TheJ
elector forbade young persons to mar
ry until they had planted a number Of
fruit trees.

thinks the soul is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte is cleo
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how a locomotive Is made.
You pour she said, a lot Of sand
into a lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into a hole in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour it
out and let 1t cool and pound 1t, and
then you put 1t In thing that bores
holes in It. Then you screw It to-
gether, and paint it, and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take 1t TO a drafting room and make
a bluep rint of It, But one thing for
got-they have to make boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside,
and they pound frightfully; and then
they tie 1t TO the other thing. and you

Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about longlived people, but ii is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born In May.
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked In the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her joint allowance. She lives
at the village OF Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by pris-
oner who gave himself away in very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one of being drunk
and disorderly He stepped into the
dock, however, just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer a list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about a dozen drunB
and disorderlies. but when SfNSame To-

claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago. your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz-

looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter,
and broad smile spread over his face.
