COTTON GINNING
 FIGURES SMALLER 2I,543 BALES TO DEC. 1 GINNING FOR PRECEDING TWO WEEKS WAS EXCEPTION
 ALLY LIGHT.

Faulkner county cotton ginning, which has been running ahead of last year on each semi-monthly report of the census bureau this season, fell off greatly during the two weeks from November IA to December l, accord ing to the official report received by the Log Cabin Democrat today.
 The total amount ginned this season to December 1 was ,543 bales, as compared with 21,68S last year, a de- crease of 145 bales, and 19,06S to the same date in 1912.
 The number of bales ginned during the period from November IA, when the preceding census was taken, to December 1, was only 2,107, as con- pared with 4,160 last year and 2,335 during the same period in 1912.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-12-18

Local cotton men do not believe that more than 1,500 bales and probably not over 1,00O, were left to be ginned from December 1 to the close of the season. Last year 3,636 bales were glnned after December l, and in 1912 the number was 1,617. This year the season for gathering has been excep- tionably favorable, and few bales re- mained in the fields of the entire county on December 1. A small amount is probably still being held in the seed, out this amount is insiynifi- canc.
 The indications are that the total crop ginned in this county will be very close to 22,500 bales. This uiH be nearly 5000 bales short of last year, when the total was 25,324 bales. and about 2,000 bales more than the 1912 crop, which was about 20,685 bales.
 Among the counties of Arkansas Faulkner county stands seventh in the number of bales of cotton ginsaeH to December 1. Mississippi csuAy leads with 94,828 and Jefferson iAsetH ond with 36,532. The four etker counties in which the ginning exes&as Faulkner are Crittenden, 35,37S bales; Phillips, 31,945 bales; LonoAs. 27,298 bales, and Columbia, 23Dso bales. In all the counties named iae0 cept Lonoke, the ginning is much greater than to the same date last year. aS'

 TO INTERFERE.
special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, Dec. 1S.-Arthur Hodges of Clark county, 21 years old condemned to death for the murder of a deputy sheriff in 1913, was electro cuted in the death chamber of the Ar kansas penitentiary this morning at 9:30 o'clock.
 The laws of Arkansas permit no de- tails of legal execution to be nub- lished
 Little Rock, Dec. 18.-Late Thurs day afternoon the supreme court, sit ing as individuals, and not as a court. declined to interfere further with the execution of Arthur Hodges at the state penitentiary today. This was the last hope of those who have been laboring without hope of earthly re- ward to save the life of the young Clark county boy who was convicted iof the murder of a deputy constable near Amity, the circuit court earlier Tn the week having denied him a new trial
 A application for supersedeas was made by Grover Owen and Lewis Rhoton Thursday afternoon. Any member of the court could have grant ed 1t, but all were called into consulta tlon, Chief Justice McCulloch, and Justices Kirby, Hart, Wood and Smith. The case was presented, and at 4:3O, after deliberation, Chief Jus tice McCulloch announced their de- jcision. All agreed that the circuit judge had discretion to grant the new trial, and that nothing had been pre- sented to establish the right of the ac- cused for another hearing; it had been determined by the lower court that the accused was not insane at the time of the original trial, and there was no evidence of progressive form of insanity, or that he had be- come insane since; the court assumed that at the trial on the question of his insanity, all available testimony had been introduced, and everything tended to prove his sanity at the time of his conviction; the court did not feel justified in saying that the cir cult judge had abused his discretion in refusing the new trial.
 At the conclusion of the announce ment, counsel for the condemned said they had exhausted all their resources This was the fourth time the date had been set for Hodges execution.

to day, but as yet there was no sign of any thing growing in the garden. One day re gently, however, Grant rushed excltedly to the mess house and insisted on MT. Harms going out and taking look at his garden. Wonderful to relate there were green onions almost a foot in height, where the day pre- sous not shoot had shown above ground. Mir. Murdock grew eloquent in describing how the twenty-four hours of daylight in this portion of Alaska made possible such phenomenal growth His ardor was damp ened later, when someone informed him that Mir Harms has surreptitiously replaced the onion sets with some old onions which had sprouted in the warmth of the root house, and now agriculture IS a subject which is handled rather gingerly about the mess house when Grant is around.
