ials.

London, Sept. 3.-Complete disa9
proval was given this morning by
he British foreign office to the so
called official announcement that the
british government will formally de
maul arbitration ON the Panama
cana! tolls question.
1t was announced last night that
he demand would be made un" y
lie arbitration question of 1908 Great
Britain's contention being that the
question at issue does not affect
the vital interests, independence and
honor of the United States and that
therefore it is clearly within the
scope of the 1908 convention, since
the matter to be arbitrated Is not
an act of congress but an interpre-
tation of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty.

Career county this would bring to
the company $4,000 or more, and in
Oklahoma would put more than a
quarter of million dollars in the
treasury. In all the cotton growing
states it would aggregate three mil
lions of dollars. In addition to pay
ing one dollar on each bale, each
county that has warehouse manager
must take and pay ,or $672 worth OF
the stock of the company. If every
county in the southland that raises
cotton were to invest that sum of
money the aggregate would be a huge
amount.
The plan has been endorsed By
some of the leading men of the south,
If it could be carried out, it would
make the south rich. Fifteen cent
cotton would bring prosperity to every
nook and corner of the southern
states. If the farmer expects the
corporation to control the price and
give the grower all the benefit he
will be mistaken. If the farmer gets
his first issuance of scrip cashed he
will &c making money, even if the
$40 scrip is never cashed. The plans
when put in practical operation must
provide for the immediate cashing OF
the $50 scrip or the whole matter will
end in failure and the stock taken
by the different counties and the 81
paid to list each bale of cotton will
be a total loss. The proposed plan
to raise the price of cotton is OF
as much interest to one class as an
other, in the south and the business
men, if they find the plan feasible
should subscribe for the required
stock. One Ardmore man has offered
to take one-sixth of the stock which
is required of Carter county. This man
is Fl. S. Bishop, who recently moved
here, and he made the offer after an
investigation of the plans. Morris
Sass and w. F. Warren went to Dal =

FIFTEEN CENT COTTON.

Two meetings have been held az
the county court house recently ID
which talks have been made TO COL
tor. farmers in the matter of fifteen
cent cotton for the 1912 crop. Inc
Ar5morelte does not claim to have
enough knowledge of the proposed
plan to give a full explanation of the
matter TO the farmers who were not
present. AS we gathered the points
as they were stated by the speaker
it is proposed to get a suf1lclenc
amount of the cotton crop pledged TO
sell to one company to control the
price of the staple. A warehouse will
be placed in each cotton town, ware
house manager will be put in charge
of each warehouse. The manager
takes the cotton brought to him,
weighs it, classifies it and on mid
ding basis issues to the farmer cot
ton scrip at a price equal to lie
pound. On 800 pound bale the scrip
would call for S55. Just where the
farmer cashes the scrip and just when
he gets his money was not made
clear. The company, however, hopes
to have n bank at each market who
will pay out the cash on the $55
scrip. Then on the same kind of bale
scrip calling for $40 will be issued
This makes 15c pound on a 500
pound bale. The extra 500 will be
paid to the farmer when the cotton
sells to the spinner at price far
enough above 15c to cover the cost
of handling, and paying the expenses
of the company.
Every farmer who lists bale of
cotton with the company pays one
dollar for the privilege. The farm
ers are talking of listing one-fourth
of thei rcrop with the company. In

George L. Cotterill. 3l,eSS; Hiram c. GIL.
3i,oio. a majority for Cotterill Of siS
All socialist candidates for office we're
defeated. James L. Bradford was elected
corporation counsel. The mayor-elect Is
widely known as the national head OF the
Independent order OF Good Templars and
as a prohibition speaker.
Practical politicians here at FIRST
thought Cotterill had no chance TO win.
because he favored single tax, municipal
ownership and prohibition. In the last
week, however. the women and the
churches began TO take an active part In
the campaign asserting that CHS cleo
tlon would mean the restoration OF
gambling and a vice district.
The visit of William ]. Bryan to Seattle
also was used to advantage by the Cot
terill forces.
The single tax amendment TO the
charter seems have been beaten deci-
slvely.
The women voters organized and car
rled on an energetic campaign against
GIL. One of their number was assigned
to each city square to aid in getting out
the Cotterill vote. Special meetings were
held in the churches last Sunday for the
same purpose and many women appointed
to different tasks, all calculated to bring
about Gllrs defeat.
