200 POUNDS MORE
 COTTON PER ACRE
Farmers Can Easily Add S10 Per Acre Profit to Their Pres-
 ent Earnings

The farmers of this community can add 150 to 300 pounds of cot ton per acre to their present yield by little care in selecting seed this fall.
 Go through your field now or some time soon, select the finest stalks that have large well formed bolls on them, selecting the five lock bolls when possible. Take along a bunch of calico strings and tie a string on those stalks and when you begin picking instruct your pickers to leave those stalks. Then when all the best bolls on those stalks have opened, have some one go through the field and pick the cotton from them.
 We have discussed this matter with Manager J. P. Magness of the Newark Gin Company, and he thoroughly endorses the idea and says he will lend his cooperation to such a movement. He says if the farmers will adopt the plan he will set aside a day that will be most convenient to those interest ed to gin this cotton separately from the common crop and will thus assist in saving seed for plant ing purposes for next season.
 Every farmer recognizes the importance of keeping pure bred animals for breeding purposes. He knows if he uses scrubs scrub offspring will be the result. But there he usually stops. He seems to overlook the fact that seed from a scrub stalk of cotton will pro- duce more scrub stalks. Yet Hike begets like just as faithfully in the vegetable kingdomas in the animal.
 This plan has been tried in many instances with good results. All the improved varieties of cotton such as Kings Improved, Simkins' Early, etc, were improved and de- veloped in this manner. By fol- lowing out this plan our farmers can soon be producing 150 to 300 pounds more cotton per acre, and this means a net profit of from $5 to $10 per acre to them. It will not be much trouble and is we'll worth trying.

FATHER KIDNAPS
 LITTLE DAUGHTER
Thos. Ray, Prominent Citizen of Jackson County, Confiscates
 Child Under Protest

Tom Ray, a well known citizen of the Elgin neighborhood, is al- legged to have kidnapped his little daughter, Ruby, aged six, who has been in the care and custody of her foster-mother, Mrs. Birdie Hollo- way, of this place, since the death of her mother, about four years ago.
 Having no children of her own, the child was given to Mrs. Hollo- way after the death of it's mother which occurred when 1t was only about two years old. The child's mother was a cousin of Mrs. Hollo- way and 1t was given to her upon a request of its mother, made just before her death. It Is alleged that Ray agreed with Mrs. Hollo- way when the child was given to her that she should keep it as long she desired and that he would pay her for its maintenance. However, because of some grievance, fancied or otherwise, Ray decided to take the child away from Mrs. Hollo- way, but knowing the mutal bond of affection between the child and its foster-mother he knew 1t would not be an easy matter to gain pos session of it peaceably. He came to Newark ostensibly to visit his daughter, as he frequently does. Calling at her home for the little girl, he told Mrs. Holloway they were going to buy some ice cream. Ray had timed the call well, in or der to escape with the child, and instead of going to buy ice cream, they caught an outgoing train and Ray took the little girl to his home near Elgin. He refuses to give her up and will not allow Mrs. Hollo- way to see her.
 Mrs. Holloway has employed counsel and will enter suit to re- gain possession of the child and for maintenance, claiming that Ray has not paid her for keeping 1t.

SISTER BURIED
 AT BATESYILLE
Woodrow Wilson's Sister Was Ministers Wife and Died at
 Batesville 20 years ago

Batesville, Sept. 2.--It is a fact not generally known that a sister of Woodrow Wilson is buried in Batesville. She lived here about 20 years ago and was known to all the older citizens of this city. The sister of Governor Wilson was the wife of Dr. Ross Kennedy, a Pres byterian minister, well known in Arkansas in the eighties.
 Dr. Kennedy was pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Lit tie Rock, until he lost his health and came to Batesville, where he remained for several years. He died here, and his wife died a few years afterward. They are both buried here.
 William B. Kennedy, assistant cashier of the Exchange National bank of Little Rock, is a son of Dr. Kennedy. H. M. Long, assistant cashier of the German National bank, is nephew of Dr. Kennedy. Dr. E. R. Long, president of the Arkansas College at Batesville, is also a nephew of the deceased sis ter of Mr. Wilson.
 Remembering these facts, County Treasurer Frankie Perrin of h. dependence county wrote a letter to Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of Gov. Wilson, telling her of the time when her fathers sister resided in Batesville, and requesting her to send him a campaign button. Re. gently he received in reply to the letter, a button with the governors photo. The button is very highly prized by MT. Perrin.

MANY VALUABLE
 PEARLS ARE FOUND
Gem Found Near Calico Rock Sold for $l250---Other Val
 uabIe Finds r1ade

White and Black rivers have become famous for their pearl bearing mussels, many a valuable gem having been taken from these streams, some of which have sold as high as $5,000. However, for the past two years, there has been a lull in pearling operations, and not many have been found until this season. Several valuable finds have been made this season and there are now more people engag- ed in pearling operations than have been at any time during the past two years. Large quantities of small ones have been found, and during the past two weeks many large and beautiful pearls have been given up by the waters of White and Black rivers. Reports from Newport, which has become a sort of clearing house for this section, say that the past ten days have brought more pearls to New port than any previous month for the past two seasons.
 Aside from the purchase of a pearl found by Charley Burdett by William Corley for $1,250, which was found near Calico Rock and IS a 72-grain ball pearl, many other offerings have been purchased. D. B. Stub blefield bought a 24-grain but ton pearl found near Augusta for $500 dollars, and also secured a 48- grain pearl found in Black river near Corning. Other buyers are also reported to have secured val uable pearls and a New York buy CT secured a 14-grain pearl for SIPS dollars. Chas Wyatt of Sal ado last week found two pearls, one was a 25-grain and the other weighed Is grains, being egg shaped. Muck shells ae selling for $20 per ton and sand shells as high as $50 per ton, which is causing many farmers, since crops are laid by, to turn their attention to pearl- Ing.

GOVERNOR LEADS
 FIGHT FOR DRYS
Thinks People are Aroused and Statewide will Carry by
 Good Majority

Little Rock Sept. 3.-One of the staunchest advocates of statewide prohibition, which the people are to vote on next Monday, Sept. 9, is Governor George ". Don- aghey, and he predicts that 1t will carry by a handsom majority. In his campaign for reelection he turned his battery upon the whis- key Ring and dealt 1t many a tell ing blow. For the last two weeks he has been stumping the state in the interest of Prohibition and the Democratic ticket. He says:
 The question for the voter to consider when he goes to the polls to vote on the proposed state wide prohibition measure is, Do 1 or do 1 not want whiskey sold in Arkansas? If he votes against statewide prohibition his vote is in favor of the saloon. If he votes for statewide prohibition he says, I do not want whiskey sold in Arkansas at all.'
 We are not considering the question of local option. We have that already. We are voting on the issue of whether or not 1t is best for the people of Arkansas to have whiskey sold in any part of the the state is a unit, and why should not the will of the people of the state govern in matters of local option, as we'll as in any subdivision of our common wealth?
 Whatever improves the stand ard of citizenship ought to be approved by all good citizens. If the saloon i'm proves and uphfts the people; if it educates the younger generation in the higher offices of life; if 1t enhances eco- homie values; if it encourages the pursuit of agriculture; if it builds up manufactures; If makes clear CT the ways of commerce; if 1t i'm proves the health of the people; If 1t makes a contented, happy and prosperous community, then 1t should be the duty of all states men to take the lead in its favor and of all other good citizens to follow.
 "As governor of the state, how ever, cannot bring myself to the point where 1 believe the saloon IS best for the people. AS a pri- vate citizen l have always cast my vote against 1t; then as public official 1 would be untrue to the life have lived if 1 should take the opposite course. 1 unhesitatingly say 1t would be better for the citi- zens of Arkansas if there were not a drop of liquor sold with in the States borders.
 "l do not believe anyone would get upon the stump and endeavor to convince the people that the saloon is conducive to good mor- als. The criminal records in my of- flee show that 75 per cent of the applications for pardons set up in their plea that the offender was drunk when he committed the crime for which he was convicted.

B. MOOSE BOASTS
 G. 0. P. CANDIDATE
Jas. F. Huddleston Raps J. W. Scott's Policies and RepubIi-
 can Party Generally

Editor Journal:-J. w. Scott, the Republican nominee for coun- ty and probate judge, claims that have misrepresented him to many voters of the county. Now in justice to MT. Scott, myself and the people interested in this cam paign, 1 shall endeavor to make plain my objection to him for said office.
 In the first place, Scott was a delegate to the Republican State Convention at Little Rock, April last, and during said convention John 1. Worthington placed in nomination for governor MT. Rus sell, Republican representative from Carroll county in the last legislature. The negroes at. once made war on Russell because he had voted in that body to submit the Grandfather Clause to the people for ratification. The ne- groes insisted that a man be placed in nomination that they could SUD- port, therefore Roland was placed in nomination. The vote was taken; Scott and the negroes cast their vote for Roland, defeating Russell for the nomination. This, Scott admits to be true. John Bush, a negro, and Kimble, a white man, were placed in nomination for delegate-at-large to the con- vention at Chicago. Scott insisted on voting for the negro, but was restrained from doing so by Chas. F. Cole and other delegates, under unit rule. 1 obtained the forego- ing information from Chas. F. Cole and Bee Van Emburg who were delegates to said convention.
 Now there is another thing 1 think the Democrats who intends to vote for Scott should know. 1 charge that Scott has in his sleeve dagger for part of the Democrat nominees. 1 have three letters written by Scott to me from which I extract the following statements. In his letter of March 12, 1912, he insists on a full Republican county ticket. In his letter of April Is, 1912, after the Democrat primary, he makes this statement: "We have no surveyor, sheriff, treasur- er,county judge nor representative and we should nominate men for these positions, if for no other. The Socialists say they are going to put a ticket in the field and if they nominate a ticket and we put out one 1t will be only a walk-in for the old gang as usual. We should do ali we can to prevent the Socialists from nominating a ticket and try and get them to throw their strength to ours"
 In his letter of April Is, 1912, we find this statement: "I think we have a good chance to elect the judge, sheriff, treasurer, sur veyor and one representative;the are hundreds of men that will not vote for old Gib Gray-he got about his strength,in the primary and 1 think we had better nomi- nate Wright for representative" 1 now make this statement that the foregoing facts are true, be- lieving that a man should be honest in politics as in other things.
