THE COLD WAVE.
CPicayune, 22nd October.D

The cold spell which commenced
Sunday and rapidly spread over the
entire South, working down as low
AS Northern Florida, has been one
of the severest for so early date in
October that has been experienced
i'm many years. Not only did such
states as Oklahoma and Arkansas
experience freezing temperatures,
but killing frost extended east of the
Mississippi practically to the Atlant-
| ic coast and welldown into the South
ern portions of Alabama and GeOr-
gia. That such unreasonable cold
weather has done damage to the cot
ton crop is certain. In the States
west of the Mississippi it is probable
that the damage was moderate, as
the crop in that section had already
been pretty well hurt by the exces-
sive rains of October following the
drought of August. In the district
east of the Mississippi River, how
ever, there was a good crop and the
plants were in many places as green
and vigorous as in midsummer.
Here, without doubt, the prospect
of fall crop or top crop has been
cut short, and the ultimate yield of
the crop as a whole is likely to be
reduced compared with the prospects
existing before the frost.
1t is practically certain that the
cold wave which damaged cotton
was extremely beneficial to the sug-
ar crop of Louisiana which is now
about to be harvested. The cold, dry
weather will rapidly mature the
cane, which, owing to the rains of
the early part of the month, was
rather greener than planters liked.
The active work of taking off the
crop commenced Monday of the
present week, and now that cold
weather has set in, it is probable
that grinding will become general
within a week or ten days.
The prices at which the cotton
crop is selling this year, practically
cents a pound higher than last
year, will compensate largely for any
reduction in yield due to early frost
or any other cause. From all pres
ent indications the worlds require
ments of American cotton will prove
greater than the prospective supply.
Such a state of things will make
further advance in prices necessary
to hold the demand in check. Just
at what price the shortage in supply
will be discounted is a problem
which is not possible to solve. 1t
would, therefore, be utter folly to
attempt to predict to what figure
the price of cotton will advance this |
year. 1t is sufficient for the moment |
to be assured that Southern cotton
producers will market their crop at |
prices that will pay them handsome
ly and more than compensate in all |
likelihood for any shortage in yield |
due to frost or other causes.

TWENTY HIGHWAYS
DISTRICTS NOW
Organized To Build Good Roads
In Their Respective Com
munities.
Special to Independent.

special TO Independent.
Little Rock, August 9.-Some
twenty committees over the
state have started a movement
to create Improvement districts
for the purpose Of building good
roads under the State Highway
act, but though this act has been
in force for several months. not
a single district is yet in readin-
ess for work. Some of the dis
tricts have expired before the
promoters circulated the petit
tons among the property own
ers. Others have the signat'-
of a majority Of the property
value of the district and are now
in court for the approval of that
tribunal. It takes eight weeks
for the court proceedings to be
completed, so this is causing the
delay in many sections.
1t is supposed that the high
way district, including the road
from Paragould to Hopkins
Bridge in Greene county, will be
the first to be ready for active
work. Commissioner c. w.
Highfll is in personal charge Of
the papers in this distric
will push it through.

Arrested Wrong Men.

Last Sunday two men were ar
rested at Truman, who were sus-
pected of being the postoffice
robbers who robbed the post
Office at Pocahontas and then
shot Sheriff Owens of this city.
The arrest was made by w. L.
Wick, detective representing the
Arkansas Bankers Association,
Deputy Sheriff Will LeMay and
Constable James Easley.
The trouble has been to find
anyone to identify these men.
It was not yet daylight when
they were in Walnut Ridge. Wal
ter Palmer out near Cache river
met two men on horseback, they
Stopped him and asked him ques-
tons concerning the road. When
he was brought face to face with
these men this week, he said
they looked like the same men
he met, but he could not swear
to it, said their dress was en-
tirely different to the men ne
met. They gave their names
as Will Dye and Shirley Hanks
alias Shirley Boone.
Hanks is an eX-convlct from
Missouri, he broke jail at New
Madrid. July IL, and Sheriff u
wens was shot July 8, hence ne
is not wanted here. Dye is
wanted at Truman for gaming
and both will be turned over to

Valuable Pearl Found.

Cotter, Aug. II. S. Lane, a
pearl buyer from Calico Rock,
passed through here on his way
home from Flippin, where he
bought a pearl that was found
by Mon King, a farmer and tie
man, few miles above here on
the White River. The pearl is
one of the finest ever found in
this section, and is the best one
found above this place this year.
1t was an oval, weighing 35
grains; perfect in luster and
color. It was valued at $3.50.
The first silo to be constructed
in Baxter county, is now in pro-
gress of building at the Stein
place. near Gassville, in this
county.
The largest peach crop this
county has ever had is now bear
ing down the limbs of the trees
to breaking point. Peaches
grown along the railroad will be
shipped and those in the inter-
ior will be canned. The canning
factory at Mountain Home
started Monday, and the plant
at Buford is running full time,
and the pack will be large. The
factory at Mountain Home will
start on tomatoes as soon as the
peach pack is completed. Hun
dreds of bushels will go to waste
on the orchards in the interior
points, owing to lack of facill-
ties for handling them.

Tillman Was In Elimination
Race.

Fayetteville, Aug. s. The e.
Elimination contest here TODAY
between Judge J. N. Tillman and
Senator P. A. Rodgers resulted in
a victory for Judge Tillman by
a vote of 240 to 181. This is a
very large vote for this city and
both candidates polled their full
strength.
Senator Rodgers left tonight
for Springfield, Mo-, where he
will take an active part in Mark
citing peaches Of the Ozark Fruit
Growers Association. He eX-
pressed his satisfaction at the
large complimentary vote he
received, and expressed no re-
gret in being shut out of the con-
gressional race.
Judge Tillman after the cleo
ton, expressed his qualification
of the elimination of one of his
opponents. He said that he
could have sidestepped the con-
test, but that such action would
have been cowardly. He said
he would not desire the nominal
ton without the endorsement of
his home people. He said that
the fight against him had been
vicious and bitter, his political
and personal enemies taking ad-
vantage of the occasion to fight
him.
When the candidates agreed to
the preferential primary they
also agreed that the loser should
quit the race for Congress and
use all his efforts and influence
in aiding the victor.

DR.. Greene Says Disease Is
Worse Than Leprosy and Few
Are Cured.
special to independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 9-Dr. j. l..
Greene, Of the State Hospital for
the Treatment of Nervous Dis
eases, is elated over the amour
cement that the government
will send an expert into ArkanS-
as to study pelagra.
There are six or eight eases of
this dreaded disease, which Dr..
Green says is worse than lep-
rosy, in the state institution.
Some of the cases were here
when | came to Arkansas,
states DR.. Greene, but others
have come since. 1t is rare in
deed that a sufferer is cured of
this disease. They are given
rest and arsenic treatment, and
no one knows which has been
beneficial in the few cases which
have recovered. If the govern
ment can discover the cause for
this disease, which we now be-
heve comes from the bite of a
fly or other insect, it will be do
ing q great thing for mankind"
The hospital Is now equipped
with a modern laboratory, such
as is to be found in all large in
stitutions of this kind. In for
mers years there was nothing
but a small makeshift, but the
new laboratory is now as COM
plete as any in the United States.
1t enables the attending physi-
clans to make complete analysis
of the cases to be treated, and
there is no chance for mistakes.

En- ierprising Road Builders.

Our enterprising neighbors "a
cross the river who are engaged
in road building between the
west bank Of the Mississippi and
Forrest City are deserving of
the highest commentator and
should be given every assistance,
both moral and financial. As
has been advocated in these col
umnS for some years, they are
following the old military road,
which is above high water, and
in time we will see thorough
fare extending from Memphis
into the interior of Arkansas,
with lateral lines reaching out in
all directions, over which autR-
mobiles will spin and Vehicsa
traffic will roll. This road wiz
be Of vast importance to the city
of Memphis, as well as to the
people of Arkansas. 1t is true
now as when it was uttered by
the sages centuries ago, that
nothing is more important than
providing means for the people
to get about from place to place
In the years to come the section
of country through which this
road passes will be a fertile gar
den spot, dotted with the homes
of men and punctuated with
churches and school houses. The
richness and productiveness of
the land will insure a glorious
future for this long neglected
section of country.-Memph1s

the road conditions were Of the
best with the exception Of the
heavy pulling in Missouri due
to three cloudbursts in one day.
However the roads in Colorado
puts the cars to the real test.
The climb Of 5000 feet the first
day out of Denver when the con-
tinental divide was crossed
through Berthoud Pass at an ell
ovation Of 1906 feet proved the
hill climbing abilities of the APP
person. The only adjustments
made for this was the changing
Of the carburat0r and the Jack
Rabbits never faltered IN the
two miles climb to the top Here
on July l3 the Apperson team
engaged in & snow ball battle.
The roads through the noun
tains in Colorado were mostly
new made highways which test
ed the skill Of the driver more
than the cars. The canyon roads
to the Utah state line were very
narrow and the grades ranged
from two to twenty per cent.
After the Utah line was cross
ed just west Of Mack, Colorado
the real test began. A heavy
rain made the arroyos raging
rivers and part Of the tour was
unable to reach the night con-
troll at Green River but the APP
person team pulled into the con-
troll on tinne-thanks to the skill
of the drivers. The Price cam
yon in Utah was only opened for
travel three days before the
tourists passed along the road
but the trip was made in safety
although it abounded in hairpin
turns and steep grades
Another heavy rain proceeded
the tourists as they left Salt
Lake City and the drive Of TWEEN
ty miles across the alkali flats
east of Kearney's ranch was a
test for every car. The next
steep grades encountered was
the crossing Of the White Noun
tains in California through
Westgard Pass into Inyo County.
This was a continuous rise of
three miles with heavy grades.
The tourists then wended their
way to Lake Tahoe and encoun-
tered more mountain driving
through the Sierra Nevada
mountains in eastern California.
The roads were wide and in good
repair through this range but
the grades were as stiff as any
on the trip.
