THE DAILY ARDMOREITE

Compared with the prices that
have obtained for the past three or
four seasons, present quotations seem
very low, but it is doubtful if large
stocks of cotton could be secured at
prevailing prices, as an active buy
ing movement would undoubtedly en-
hance values.
ut is argued that the southern
states have produced a cotton crop,
which added to that grown in other
countries, is under present conditions
about 100000 bales greater than is
required for the worlds needs, and
the fear that this is true is causing
much apprehension in the south.
There have been predictions of general
bankruptcy and ruin, and yet regard
less of all the pessimistic talk and in
spite of increasing receipts, the price
has advanced during the last three
weeks one and one-half to two cents
per pound; and it is well worth while
for cotton manufacturers to consider
these facts, to analyse them carefully,
and to anticipate the probable effects.
The cause is not hard to find. For
many years the south has been gaining
in wealth, and its farmers have been
growing more independent, better
methods of agriculture have been in
troduced, marked progress has been
made in the diversifcation of crops,
large plantations have been subdivid-
ed into small farms, and in many
cases the tenant farmer has become
his own landlord. There is in every
normal year certain proportion of
this crop which comes in early and
which seeks the market at any level
that it can find, which is commonly
called distressed cotton
This is the cotton that is now being
sold at seven and a-half to eight cents,
and it would be well for manufacturers
to bear in mind that at these figures
much cotton will be withheld from
the market for months to come.
at is true that there is a great
amount of Indebtedness which can be
liquidated only by the sale of cotton,
but in view of the increased cost of
production in recent years, sales at
present prices would be in many cases
inadequate for the discharge of these
obligations, so that even if the pro-
ducer, being unable to sell his cotton
for enough to pay his Indebtedness,
should turn it over to his creditor,
many of these creditors would be in
position to hold, and much of the
cotton will be withheld from the ac-
tual market
THE financing of the present crop
began with its planting last March or
April 1t is the one crop in the
south on which loans are always free
ly made until it is harvested, and in
vestigations recently made by cham
bers of commerce in southern states
show that advances on cotton in diff
ferent states, made from the time of
the planting of the crop until it left
the gins, range from $50 to $44 per

COUNTY JUDGES
 FAVOR ACT NO. 5
Like President Wilson, Sev- eral Arkansas Officials Be-
 lieve in Publicity.

Arkansas county judges, as rule
 favor act No. 3 and the purpose ol the act which provides for publicity In public affairs. There is too mucn secrecy, they say, and county sui fers when it's people are not thor oughly informed and able to vote h. telligently.
 Like Woodrow Wilson, who says Publicity is one of the purifying ele- ments Of politics." William j. Bryan who started the agitation which re- suited in the law providing for publi- cation of campaign expenses, Senator Kern, Senator works and other not able statesmen, several county judges have come out with unqualified en- dorsements of publicity, and declare their favor for act No. 5 in Arkansas
 Keeps County Affairs Straight.
 This is the declaration of Judge George of Yell county, who says:
 "1nasmuch as have been quoted as being against the publicity bill, you are authorized to quote me as saying that l favor Act No. 3. believe in publicity in public affairs, and never have yet seen where it was not for the best interest of county and state to have publicity of it's affairs shown to the people. 1 believe that public ity will have more effect in keeping the affairs of the county straight than any other one. It will also help me in my line of duty as county Judge.
 Publicity will also be a great edu- cational force upon many people, who are not ordinarily acquainted with state and county conditions and needs. Of course l would not favor the bill and expect the county to pay for the publications ,. suggested at full legal: rates, with. .ho >limit to amount. of space they. could be made tp occupy; but would favor a reasonable pay ment for the publications of all the matters required to be published by Act No. 5. think that it pays to take the people into full confidence in the administration of their public affairs"

GOSPEL TENT ITEMS.

Last Sunday evening meetings were
opened in a large canvass pavilion
not far from the court house. This is
a rare opportunity for the people of
Clifton Evangelists Bond and Dill
on are both men of years Experience
in evangelical work, and the themes
being considered at the tent are Of
exceptional interest.
These men are not at all sensation
al in their manners, neither are they
presenting subjects of a sensational
nature, but it is real school Of edu-
cation in Bible subjects.
Those who are attending the meet
ings seem much interested, and are
anxious to get each discourse. as one
follows the other naturally, thus form
ing perfect chain of thought. The
Question Box is also proving to be
thing of interest, as many questions
on Bible topics have been handed in,
and each one thus far answered has
been handled in an able way, and to
the perfect satisfaction of the question
err.
The Evangelists have promised to
be with us several weeks, and say
they still have a fine line of steropti-
can views with which to illustrate
their subjects. They invite all to
attend the services.
