ruling MAY AID
LOCAL COMPRESS
new PLANT BEGINS WORK
OVER 1000 BALES OF COTTON
ALREADY SENT TO LOCAL
COMPRESS.

from SdtnDnay : DdiiF.
A recent ruling of the Arkansas
Railroad Commission declining to or
der that cotton be compressed at the
first compress in transit, Will AID
rather than injure the newly-estab-
lished Conway Compress Company, &C
cording to officers of that concern. AS
there is a compress at MOrrilton, no
cotton west of that point on the Fort
Smith railroad could be sent here for
compression, which would leave only
one cotton-buying town, Plumerville,
from which to draw cotton. AS it
is. the company will be free to seek all
the business it can get from any point
which ships cotton through Conway.
Referring to the petition for the order
regarding congresses, Little Rock
paper says:
"The request for a rule requiring
railroads to compress cotton at the
first compress in transit was denied
because the commission believed it to
the interest of the producer as well
as to the cotton merchant to allow the
shipper who owns the cotton and the
railroads who transport it, to COM
press and concentrate it at any point
most convenient to them. 1t is the
opinion of the commission that the
movement of cotton is an Interstate
movement and the rules prescribed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which are now in effect in Arkansas,
are better rules than the ones propes
ed by the petitioners in this case. The
commission believes that by requiring
The railroads to compress at any par
ticular point would cause a congestion
at times and by so doing would be
harmful to the interest of cotton mer
chants, growers and railroads"
While perhaps 5000 bales were lost
to the local compress on account of
the early marketing of cotton, bust
ness at the new industry promises to
be quite brisk from the start. The
plant is now ready for operation and
over 1000 bales are on hand to be
compressed as soon as the buyers give
shipping instructions.

BOIL WEEYIL WORSE
IN s. {. ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Oct. SC. W. Watson,
government demonstration agent, re-
ports that there is a great infestation
of the boll-weevil in the counties of
Union, Bradley, Lafayette, Columbia,
in the state. In some fields in those
Ouachita and Ashley than elsewhere
counties the damage has been as much
as 80 per cent.
In most sections of the state the
weevil was held back for a full year
by the late season and the heavy
floods, and should appear in larger
area next year unless there is some
deterrent influence.
The cotton worm is appearing in
some sections, but will do little dam
age on account of its being late. AS
a rule, worms that appear after Sep
TENDER 10 will be caught by the early
frost anyway and would not mature
even should they not be injured by the
worms.

thing caused much money to be with
drawn from circulation, investments
fell off and securities were thrown on

LAUREL WILL HOLD A FAIR.

Laurel, Miss, Jan. ia meeting
of the business men and farmers has
been called for Saturday, with a view
of organizing a permanent Fair Asso-
citation for Jones county. The splen-
did success of the fairs of the past
two years makes the advisability of
a permanent organization obvious.
More than $4,000 was spent on these
two fairs, all of which was raised by
subscription, and the financial side of
the matter is the chief one to come
NJ for discussion in the mass meet
ing. The sentiment is such that it
will not be hard for a strong stock
company to be organized. The man.
ayers Of the fair this year recognize
the fact quite q lot of expenses could
have been covered had admission to
the grounds been charged. They see
many economical changes in manage
ment that would be possible with a
stock company, besides the strength
and impetus that would accrue were
the farmers and business men alike
interested from financial stand
point.

Harmon Of Ohio will be the principal

this week of the Tri-State Grain Deal
ers' Association. Many delegates ar
rived for the meeting today from all
over North and South Dakota and
Minnesota.
While Gov. Harmon's address will
not be of a political nature, it has
great political significance in the fact
that North Dakota will be the first
state to hold a presidential preference
primary. Coming a few weeks before
the voting, the Buckeye governors
visit is expected to have much
weight in determining whether Har
mon, Wilson or Bryan is the favorite
North Dakota is largely a rura
state and is greatly interested in taxa

mon an opportunity to tell what haC
been accomplished in Ohio and to in

North Dakotans are essentially pre-
gressive in their political affiliations
and there has been some preiudic,
against the Ohio governor because o
