cornerstones of empires.

1t is the custom in Texas and 9TH
eu Southern States to market sixty
five per cent of the crop the first
three months. of the harvest sea-
son, which results. in weakening and
ofttimes glutting the market. At
least two-thirds of the cotton farm
ers are tenants and there is approx
imately an eighty million dollar
mortgage against their crop each
year due when the cotton is picked
and the farmer is forced to sell to
meet his obligations. The bankers
will now advance him as much as
$35. 90 per bale on his cotton at six
per cent interest, payable at his op-
ton, which will take the cotton out
of distress and enable the farmer to
hold it until the price is satisfactory
and make a glut easily avoidable.
The consumption of cotton is dis
tributed evenly throughout the year
and should be marketed as the spin
ners demand it. There are 80 many
factors that enter into fixing the
price that no one influence can be
satisfactorily segregated and reduc-
ed to cash basis, but in my opinion
the slow marketing of cotton will
increase the farm price at least from
81 to 5 cents per pound net over the
price obtained under present meth
ods, making a minimum net saving
to the farmer of $50, 100000. 1t is
up to the farmer to take advantage
of the facilities offered.
Of the 1918 cotton crop, Texas
produced 4,S80,210 bales out of IA,
313,O15 bales produced in the Unit
ed States and a possible 20,000,0OO
bales in the world. The 1912 Texas
cotton crop sold at farm price of
$685., ,53S, 1922, including lint and seed.
The annual world consumption dur
ing 1911, the latest available reports,
was 20, ,4O2, 900 bales. The cotton
! yield per acre in Texas in 1912 was
FOG pounds, valued at $23.69. The
value of the yield per acre of cotton
is the greatest of any staple crop in
the world. Its nearest approach is
corn s14.22 per acre for 1912 in the
United States.

The First National.

The meeting of the stockholders of
the Bank of Forrest City, called for
last Friday night, at the .bank build
ing, did not materialiZe, owing as we
are informed, TO the inclemency Of
the weather, and consequently the alb
Sence Of quorum, and those present
adjourned over until last night.
There was meeting of the stock
holders of the Bank OF Forrest City
in the directors room of the bank
last night, when further and final steps
were taken toward changing that in
stitution from state to national
bank. The proceedings were brief,
consisting simply of increasing the
capital stock of the bank from 1900
to 500, 900, the latter amount being
necessary to meet the requirements
of the treasury department at Wash
ington. The additional stock we are
informed. was instantly subscribed
for by the stockholders, and this being
the last of the preliminaries required
of the local organization before the
national charter can be granted, it
will doubtless be but a shoft time be-
fore the First National Bank of For
rest City will be in operation The
Times congratulateS the management
ofthe Bank of Forrest City upon the
splendid business acumen displayed in
pulling it out of its recent entangle-
ments and placing it upon a tirmer
foundation than ever before. The
First National will without doubt
prove one of the leading financial in
situations of Eastern Arkansas.

THE INCOME TAX, LOCALLY

AS the iacome tax has finally been
scaled there will be scores OF citi-
zens OF this city who will come in
side the one percent class; i. e., citi-
zens whose annual incomes range be-
tween SO 900 and $2G 900. Under this
tax these incomes of local citizens
will be held to contribute to Uncle
Sam each year from $50 to 5000 ac-
cording to the amount of incomes.
1t is not at all improbable that there
are some whose incomes run above
the annual 100000 limit, but it is not
so certain that Uncle Sam "ill be
able to prove it ON them The
assessments, has already inspired a
number of local men with an itching
for public offices to get into the game
for appointment as assessors. How
ever the United States is not likely
to have any of these jobs to give out
for some time to come. And it is
equally discouraging to asplrants,
that the government does not follow
the policy of the states; and does
not look with favor upon the plan of
men in such capacity to
assess their neighbors. 1t is more
probable that the men who will ferret
out Pine Bluff incomes will not be
men with Fort Smith social and busi
ness relationships

FAULKNER FAIR
OPENED TUESDAY.
Gov Hays Delivered Speech and Was
Heard by Thousands Gathered
From All Sections OF the
County.

Conway. Oct. THE fifth annual
Faulkner County Fair opened this
morning under the most suspicious
circumstances in the history Of the
association.
1t was conservatively estimated
that 40 less than 5000 people entered
the fair grounds.
Promptly at 1870 Governor G. w.
Hays was introduced to the immense
crowd, and from platform in front
of the grandstand, formally opened
the fair Throughout his speech the
States chief executive was vocifer-
iously cheered by the hundreds OF
visitors. Governor Hays said he was
glad to be among the people of Faux
ner County and was surprised to see
the vast amount Of exhibits which he
said were among the best he had ever
seel He was shown through the
exhibit halls and took much interest
in the exhibits. He returned to Lit
tie Rock on the noon train.
People from all sections of the
county as we'll as large number
from neighboring counties are in at
tendance today.
More enteries have been made in
every department than at any pre-
vious fair held i'll this county. The
| agricultural exhibition is especially
good. the hall being crowseu an,
| many things having to be displayed
| in other buildings. Large exhibits OF
| horticulture, china paintings. schoo
work and relics are also atu acting
much favororable attention.
The Clifton-Kelly Carnival Com
pany is furnishing much amusement
for the people, as is the Blanche Nc
| Kenney Hunter combination.
The race track is in splendid condi
/ ton and race horses from six differ
ent States have been entered for thu
races. Races will be run every after
noon, large purses being offered b.
the fair association.

REPUBLICAN, CHANGE or BASIS.

Two interesting political phases de-
veloped during the past week, says
the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Be-
fore leaving for South America Col
Roosevelt made public the first posi-
tive statement which has come from
him since the national election in No
vcmber. This was that he had not
given up the Progressive fight nor did
he intend to. When he returns from
his big hunt he will resume his form
er political activities and will begin
the Progressive campaign which he
ton.
Another interesting development
was the action of the Republican con-
gressional committee in favoring cut
ting down the southern representa-
ton. The Republican congressional
committee virtually represents the ma
tionaI committee in all party matters
coming before congress.
This is direct slam at the negro
vote south. The Republican party has
been the party of the black man by
natural preference The Republican
leaders have used the negro when
ever possible. The Chicago convention
convinced the leaders that the negro
had become too powerful politically
hence the determination to reduce the
representation of the southern states
in the next national convention.
This will no doubt arouse consid
cradle feeling among the southern ne
groes, who have been as loyal to Re.
publicanism as the southern white
man has been to the principles OF
Democracy.
1t was written on the wall after the
adjournment of the late Republican
convention that it was necessary tc
eliminate the negro as early as pos,
sible, and now Ne process of elimina-
ton has begun.
Now that the Republican congress,
sional committee has informally APP
proved a plan for altering the basis OF
representation in the next Republican
national convention. the future out
come Will be watched with interest
The congressional committee is {
voluntary association formed by mem
bers of Congress to promote party sue
cess in congressional elections, but l.
is we'll known that it is the backbone
OF the national committee and its in
fluence is always strongly felt.
has no authority to speak. but it has
authority to act. 1t evidently has:
realized more strongly than the ma
tfenai committee that if the party ever
expects to win again it must manifes'
new spirit of progressiveness ant
liberty and put the control of its ma
chinery back into the hands OF the
/ white voters.
The negro is badly needed on tho
day of election This the Republican
! leaders admit, but he is not wanted
when it comes TO such little matters
as the selection of candidates and thu
drafting of platforms.
