Army Worm Played No Favor.
 ties.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. l4.- The work of the army worm in Ark ansas has been complete within the past ten days. In that short time it has traversed the en- tire state, leaving a statewide path behind it in Mississippi and Oklahoma as well. Ten days ago the worm had done little damage except in a few isolated sections. Then, as if by magic, the green pests began their work in earnest and now the entire cotton acreage of Arkansas pre- sets a sad sight. There is not a leaf upon the cotton, and the entire top crop has gone along with the leaves. The worm has created great havoc, and the farmer, who is receiving the bottom price for what he did raise, suffers further loss.
 The Little Rock correspondent of the Independent has been in all sections of the state in the past two weeks, and in three days time had travelled from the western to the eastern bor- der, and from the Missouri line to Texarkana, and in those three days the work seems to have been done by the worms.
 The correspondent was in- formed at Helena by a leading citizen who had just returned from Chicago, where he discuss ed the cotton situation with prominent financiers, that these financiers were advising their clients to put all their ready money into cotton at 8 and 10 cents per pound. They advo- cated the purchase of the actual cotton, and the storing of it un- til the price turns upward. These same financiers are advising their clients to refuse any stocks or investments because of the conditions created by the Euro pean war.

Another Appeal For Hodgins.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 14.-It is probable that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court in final effort to save the life of Arthur Hodgins, the young man convicted of murdering Con stable Morgan Gardner at Ami ty, about year ago. Hodgins was recently given trial at Philadelphia to pass upon his sanity, and after hearing evil dence from alienists, the jury rendered a verdict showing Hodgins not to be insane, but mentally undeveloped. This will not save his life, for it did not prove him to be insane when the crime was committed.
 Grover c. Owen made the plea for Hodgins in his first appeal, but is no longer connected with the case. Hodgins is still in the Clarke county jail, but will prob ably soon be returned to the penitentiary to remain until his case is finally disposed of. Hod- gins is the youth who murdered the officerr who was taking him to iail to await trial on a trivial charge. Efforts have been made to show that he has been insane since childhood,

pay interest on our accounts all until next June-and then sell for a fifteen dollar profit, pro- vided the war is over, which have serious doubts of. The diff ference between what the stor- age, the insurance, the loss in weight and the interest on our account would amout to, and the $15 profit would be the amount profit for us, or the amount of loss we had sustained, in the op- |ecation. I ask you, brother far mer, does this look lil a profit able proposition.
 Some may say that the farmer lis to blame for planting his en- tire crop to cotton, or the princi- r pal part of it; l would ask, what other recourse, has he got? The landlord demands his rents in money and before the merchant gets his account, who must have his in, cash, and at the earliest possibility, making his notes due about November the first. Now then, please advise us what to plant besides "King Cotton, that we may be able to meet these accounts when due. There is no market here for the suprlus corn we raise except our local market. There is no wheat market here, and if there was, how much wheat do you suppose this country on an average would produce, and besides, is not the wheat market, as a rule, very we'll supplied? There is no market for potatoes. There is no market for melons, or in fact, anything but cotton, under the existing conditions. Now, if the landlord will agree to take a part of any crop that we may raise for rent, then we can quit planting cotton so extensively, and raise something to live on, and thereby become able to de- velop the raising of live stock in this country.
 But as long as the farmer must pay all of his rents in cash, regardless of calamities, just that long cotton will be king and the farmer a servant of servants. Will you help us MT. Landlord to quit the culture of the one product that keeps us subject to Europe's command :? Will you be a Col. Cook?

SHARES SEASONS
 CROP LOSSES
Landlord Divides The Loss Sus- tained by The Renter From The Effects of the Dr0uth
 And War.

Col. V. Y. Cook, one of the largest land holders of Independ- ence county, agreed on last We'd nesday to cut the rent on his farm half, thereby relieving the farmer of some of the bur- den brought about by the drol tn and the low prices of cotton, caused by the European war, saying:
 This is a calamity, the re- sponsibility for which rests on neither the farmer nor the land lord, and should be borne by both of them"
 How many MT. Cooks will there prove to be in this (Jack- son) county?
 If the farmer ever needed help it seems to be right now. He is without feed for stock; stock are mortgaged to the bank CT or merchant, who will be fore ed to take them to satisfy his account, and the crop must go to Lay the rent, consequently the farmer is left without sus- tenance or any means by which he can provide for his family.
 That the farmer has done his duty, no one will deny. Yet he has one-third to one-half of a normal crop, without price, and where a price is offered, it is a. bout one-half of the average, for the past few years, which of course, forces the admission that the crop will not pay the rent, and leave anything to ap- ply on his account. This being the condition of affairs, we ask, how can we be expected to cul- tivate the lands next year with out feed, without teams, with out money or provisions, and in debt to begin?
 This is an unavoidable calami- ty, and should not be borne by the farmer alone ,and to force him to do so, means that he will Be unable to meet his accounts

in full; means that he must put his little children to bed hungry :; means that he, and his entire family must face the bleak winds of winter doing any kind of drudgery they are able to ob- tain, in order to keep the wolf from the door. It also means that thousands of acres of land that is now in cultivation must lay out next year, or the farmer |s sell himself and family for he next ten years to satisfy ac- counts piled up on him by the happening of something that was absolutely beyond his con- Itrol.
 We admit that the landlord is not responsible for this short crop, or low price, but he is as much responsible as the ten ant, and in justice to both par ties is it not right that both should carry the burden? Of course there is a movement on foot to store the cotton for bet ter prices which they claim will help the producer. but I fear they are mistaken. 8
 In the first place, let's figure the cotton at a price of seven cents; now we hold it until June for ten cents. This means $15 profit on a bale of cotton, but from October 1st to June 1st is 8 months. Now then, we must pay storage on this cotton. We must pay insurance; we must

1.-The United States" says the
President in his moving appeal to
his countrymen, must be neutral in
fact as well as in name during these
days that are to try mems souls. We
must be impartial in thought as well
as in action, must put curb upon
our sentiments as we'll as upon every
transaction that might be construed
as a preference of one party to the
struggle before another. My thought
is of America. am speaking, /
feel sure, the earnest wish and pur-
pose of every thoughtful American
that this great country of ours,
which is, of course, the first in our
thoughts and in our hearts, should
show herself in this time of peculiar
trial a nation fit beyond others to
exhibit the fine poise of undisturbed
judgment, the dignity of self-control,
the efficiency of dispassionate action,
a nation that neither sits in judg
ment upon others nor is disturbed
in her own counsels, and which
keeps herself fit and free to do what
is honest and disinterested and truly
serviceable for the peace of the
world"
Noble words fifty spoken! So let
be the thoughts and conduct of all,
to the end that, when the time shall
come, as assuredly it will come, to
act for the restoration of peace and
goodwill among distracted peoples,
no bar shall cross the path of Chief
