MANAGERS OVERWORKED.

B. c. Berkhead, who has been man. ager of the local exchange of the Southwestern Telephone Company for the past few months, resigned this week because he could not do all the work which was put on him by the company. This is about the fourth man that this company has lost here in the past year, simply because they expect too much of the manager Heber Springs Jacksonian

FURTHER GAIN IN
 PRICE OF COTTON
6 I-2 CENTS PAID HERE
OPENING LIVERPOOL MARKET AND BETTER DEMAND STIM-
 ULATES PRICES.

An advance of another quarter cent was scored today in the local cotton market, middling bringing 1-2 cents, as compared with 6 cents week ago. Farmers, however, seem no more anX ious to sell at the slight advance, and tn ereceipts at Conway are not so heavy as they were two weeks ago. A better feeling generally seems to pervade business circles and still inn provement is looked for in the near future
 Cottonseed is also bringing a better price today, buyers advancing the market from $10 to SIP per ton this morning. Practically no seed were being sold at the former price, farm CTS considering the seed to worth more on the farm, but with the in creased price, receipts are expected to increase
 Memphis, Nov. 6.-Continued activ- ity marked yesterdays cotton markets in the belt Demand was keen and sales were generally speaking, large. Prices were about unchanged, except for an advance of 1-8c at New Or leans and a decline of 1-16c at Angus ta. In the local market there was a good inquiry and total sales for the day were 5,150 bales. Sales for the week were the largest for the season at 26,150 bales.
 Recent heavy spot sales are finding a sequel in steadily increasing ex- ports. Great Britain leads in the amount of American cotton taken from the ports during the past week, but good shipments were also made to the continent of Europe. The total for the week was 127,00O bales, and while these figures are far below those for the corresponding period of last year, they show considerable inn provement over previous weeks of the present season.
 Limited trading was begun yester- day on the Liverpool cotton exchange, contracts having been bought in the May-June option. The trading was called quiet throughout the session, although prices ranged we'll above the minimum price of 4.25d. The opening was at 4,40d, and the close 4.34d. In the spot department business fell off considerably, but sales were 6,O00 bales for the day.
 Reports from New York and Wash ington regarding the success of the proposed loan pool were encouraging and it was generally believed that the plan would be completed by the open ing of next week. This fact in itself is giving considerable strength to the spot markets.

Pow Wow Held
 by 4 Societies
CHIEFS OF THE FOUR TRIBES MAKE VOWS OF PEACE AND
 SMOKE THE CALUMET.

Last Friday evening, on their re- spective camping grounds, the four great tribes assembled in two big con claves-the Nikatimas and Clarys on the west side of the stream, and the Crestomaths and Wingoes on the east side
 After much talk to- and talk back" in each assembly, and the per forming of several stunts" which took the place of the old war dance; the "Call of the Crestomaths' was given and was answered from across the stream by the bugle of the Nika- tima-C Clary camp. The tribes then wended their way toward each other and met midway between the camps under large oak with leaves as nu- merous as those under which the great treaty was made with William Penn.
 Here the four chiefs came together in the center of large circle made by the tribes around the tree and with much talk and ceremony, buried the tomahawk and smoked the pipe of peace Then without any incanta- tions or dances the tribes separated and returned to the camping grounds from which they came. The Cresto- maths and Wingoes to the east, the Nikatimas and Clarys to the west
 Huge camp fires were built and preparations made for the feasts. Each Clary chose for himself the fairest, to him, of all the Nikatimas to feast with him. Each Wingo look ed about him and sought out the most beautiful Crestomath with whom he wished to partake of the good things.
 The feasting continued on both sides of the stream until the moon, looking down, shook his head and sighed; until the forest ceased to ring with that merriment which char acterized it at the beginning of the feast; and the chiefs and sooth-sayers argued that it was time to break camp and seek other hunting grounds.
 The Nikatimas and Clarys went to the big long house and assembled themselves to listen to the talks of chiefs and braves and medicine men, and to sing the songs and incanta- tions peculiar to their tribes. The Crestomaths and Wingoes danced about their campfire with spears in their hands torturing each other with frequent thrusts from these weapons, until they, too, departed, and forsook the forests and streams for the glamour of the great white way" Here the Cresto and the Wingo again met the Nikatima and the Clary, each wondering why the other should be so foolish as to leave Natures garden of trees, flowers, and streams, lighted by the moon and the stars overhead, and pitch his wigwam in the man-made garden of artificial palms and marble and tile, or down with the movie man" where only the picture of the garden is thrown on the wall.-Nor- nal Echo.

N unemployed and substantial reduction
In the gravity of the unemployment problem
here. rest now in the sound discretion of the
. Administrative Board. Mayor Ainslie has
signed the ordinance appropriating $4,000
for public works, and the board has free

III this case difficulty walks hand in hand
with authority and responsibility. The ap-
preparation is intended to relieve distress. but
does not create a fund for free distribution
The public works on which 1T is to be eX-
pended should be those most Immediately
necessary to the city's development and the
men employed those who are capable of
fair days labor for n fair days pay. Waste
of this money-payment for any improvement

under all the circumstances it is too much to
hope that the city will get its work done with
the same economy that could and would be

pathy, as that sympathy has been constantly
with the effort to obtain the emergency ordi-

a right TO expect, substantial returns from
its investment.
There is nothing cold -booded in such a
stand. The unemployed, through their repre-
sentatires at Council meetings, did not ask
charity. but all opportunity to work for
living. That is what the city has intended
to supply. Richmond, official and unofficial
should sec to it that no cry OF suffering goes
