CLARKE PLAN AIMS
 AT COTTON GAMBLING
Arkansas Senator Has Amendment t0 Tariff Bill That Imposes
 Tax.

Washington, June 24.- Senator Clarke. president pro tenn of the Sem ate, has prepared for consideration by the caucus an amendment to the tar if bill. which would levy a tax on cotton sold for future delivery. It would assess a tax of one-tenth of one cent pound on all cotton sold, agreed to be sold or agreed to be pur- chased for future delivery upon an! cotton exchange, Board of Trade or other similar places.
 The amendment would provide how ever, that when cotton thus sold TOT future delivery actually was delivered in god faith. the tax levied should be refunded to the person or corporation which paid it under regulations to De prescribed by the secretary oI tn treasury. The measure is designed to prevent stock jobbing and gambling in cotton futures.
 The secretary of the treasury un' der the proposed amendment, would be authorized to conduct inspection necessary to collect the tax.
 Exchanges, persons or corporations who failed to pay or attempted to evade payment, would be liable to a fine of from $1 o00 to $20,o00 for each offense and in the case of individuals Or unincorporated associations. an ad- ditional punishment by imprisonmeh' for not less than one year nor more than three years.
 Senator Clarke will push his amend ment before the caucus when the cot ton schedule is reached. It resembles n general amendment adopted by sen ator Cummins, which would provlde for special tax on all commodities sold through stock exchanges oi board of trade.

We, your Committee, appointed 70 look into the conditions of the Jeffer- son County prisoners, herewith make our report as follows:
 On May 10th we went to the plan tation of D. B. Niven & Co.,, lesses of the Jefferson county prisoners, and found 32 prisoners, one white man, one colored boy, 23 colored men, and [ colored women. The colored women are kept in separate rooms, fairly clean. well ventilated, and in as gooG a sanitary condition as possible. From the best information they are all well taken care of, get ting 3 meals each day, consisting of meat, bread, molasses, rice or beans. They are all provided with substan- tial clothing and all are in good health, with the exception of one man who did not have to work on ac- count of being sick. We asked each and every one if they had any com plaints to make and all answered that they had nothing to complain of. Your committee is of the opinion that the Jefferson County prisoners are as well taken care of as their situation warrants

Spend Your Money
 Where You Make It
By HOLLAND.

MONEY that is kept in the IR community helps every one in that community. It is a part of the common fund on which any one with any thing to sell-merchandise, labor, farm products-can draw. Money that is sent away from home is with drawn from this common fund. It helps to impoverish the entire community. Send all the money away and all the people in the community would be "broke.'
 The dollar that you spend with the local merchant will continue to circulate in the neighborhood. paying lawyer. doctor. blacksmith. carpenter. teacher. Ultimately it may return to you to be again started on its journey of pur- chase and payment. The dol lar sent to the mail order house goes to swell the bank account of q concern in Chi cago or New York 1t is lost to your community forever. Your neighbor can't get it. and you will never see it again.
 Can't you see that self in- terest tells you to do your buying at home? Can't you see that it is the part of wis dom to spend your dollar where you are likely to get it again?
 The advertisements in this paper will aid you in decid- ing where to make your pur- chases Only the more re- liable merchants can afford to advertise continuously, and only the better grade of goods can stand such publicity.

A Temperance Lecture.

We heard lad Of boy wearing
knee pants remark few days ago,
that eff he was old enough he would
vote for Coley Blease for Governor,
because if be committed crime that
he had to be sent to the penitentiary
he would pardon him. Does thatshow
encouragement or not? We are only
predicting, not that we know, unless
some radical change takes place be.
tween now and two years hence, Gov
ernor Blease has following in this old
Commonwealth of ours that will send
him to the United States Senate.
Well, we are all weak human beings
and we do not all look at things ex-
actly the same way. We do not pro-
pose to dictate to the good people of
our old home county what they shall,
or what they shall not do. Our ex-
perience in handling 'dispensary whis-
kies for nine or ten years, convinces
me that it is morally wrong for the
State, or any individual, to place temp
tation of this kind before the people.
In 1894, or '95, when the dispen-
sary was established in Chaplin I was
insisted upon by some of my warm
friends to apply for the position as
they knew that would carry out the
law to the letter. With good inten-
tions, as I understood the law with its
restrictions, I applied for the posi-
ton.
Now, want to show you what dis
pensarY could do if the people were
so inclined. The stock of whiskies
averaged about $500 in half pints,
pints, quar- is and gallons. Average
the stock in quarts at S1.00 per quart
that will give US 1900 quarts; to half
this into pints will give US 5000 pints.
Have you any more than 5000 voters
in the county. At one little local dis
pensary 5000 pints at so cents per
pint. enough to make every voter in
the county drunk.
In closing NY letter have a 1ues-
ton to ask you. When the summons
comes for you to leave this world and
enter into the mystery of the world be-
yond, which would you rather take
with you a bottle of whiskey or the
Bible? The bottle represents yes and
the Bible no! B. B. H.

active and effective campaign against
the proposition to re-establish the dis
pensary system of controlling the sale
of whiskey in Lexington county. Com
mittees are passing round petitions
for signatures asking that no election
be held on this subject at this time for
the reason that the "Webb'' law, re-

many of the evils which the dispen-
saryites claim necessitates the re-es-
tablishment of the dispensary. It mat

which side wins it will be a vic
tory hard earned and the victors can
proudly wear their laurels with con-
sc;ousness of having well performed
their duty as they saw it.

one feature about it that we prize very
