yet nearly two years before the next

sent the people of the Seventh district,
which is now looked after very eff
GENTLY by w. S. Goodwin of Warren.
In his race for railroad commission
err, Mcknight was scarcely heard OF

nounced. He drove over the entire
district, stopping at every house. The
two candidates who were supposed T.
be the leaders, were from towns and
made the most of their canvass in tAe
cities and towns. Mcknight says he
will conduct a similar campaign for

CAMPAIGN WARM
in LITTLE ROCK
IN MAYORALTY CONTEST
ROGOSKI OPPOSING TAYLOR ON
WIDE-OPEN TOWN POLICY
PRIMARY DECEMBER II.

Little Rock, Nov 18.-Having
elected Governor Woodrow Wilson
president, the Democrats of Little
Rock are now deep in the excitement
of a municipal primary, which has
been called for December II. The
principal interest centers in the race
for mayor. Alderman w. L. Rogoski
is opposing Mayor c. E. Taylor for q
second term, and both candidates are
organizing and putting in their time
campaigning. 1t is an open secret
that the opposition to Mayor Taylor
comes largely from those who are in
favor of a wide-open town policy.
Mayor Taylor is distributing litera-
ture over the city, showing that more
actual improvement has been made in
the city during his administration
than for any similar period in it's his
tory. Among these items is the cor
struction of 80 miles of sewers, or as
much as had been built in the preced-
ing Is years.
There is also warm fight for po-
lice Judge. Oscar H. Winn and A. L.
Herrick are opposing w. H. Tweedy
for a second term, and the fight is-
raging with more or less bitterness.
Among others who have been men,
toned as probable candidates, are ".
M. Rankin, Guy B. Tucker, Ben l..
Griffin, R. C. Powers, w. Long and G..
w. Hendricks.
In addition to the mayor and police
Judge, one alderman will be chosen in
each of the eight wards, and there are
several interesting contests for these
places.

LONG STAPLE COTTON
SOLD FOR BIG PRICE
FARMER GETS IS TO % CENTS
PER POUND FOR HIS
COTTON.

For two years past farmers of this
locality have been experimenting with
staple cotton with very satisfac-
tory results, and this year K. M.
Scott, a we'll known farmer of this
place, planted nine acres in long sta
pie seed. From these nine acres Mr..
Scott picked five bales, which brought
him $482, and he has the seed left,
which he is selling at so cents per
bushel. His best cotton brought 23c
and the lowest grade 1Sc, and these
satisfactory results not only demon
strate the fact that long staple cot
ton can be successfully grown in this
county, but it will probably revolu-
tionize the cotton growing industry
in this part of the state.
