J. T. Reed Route Number One. Brings II Open BOlls of Cotton to Town this Morning. Earliest in His
 tory of Community.

J. T. Reed, who is cultivating the farm of Sam Cantley, three miles south of Prescott on route number one this morning brought to Prescott four teen open bolls of cotton grown on the farm he is working.
 MT. Reed stated that he had about 19 acres in cotton and few weeks ago he estimated his crop at fifteen bales. At this time, however, he states that he will not make one-half of the above amount.
 It is said by number of our older citizens that this is the earliest open ing of cotton that we have ever had in Nevada county. Our cotton usual ly opens about the first of August.

NEAR ELECTROCUTION IN
 PRESCOTT LAST NIGHT

Last night about o'clock Dave Michael was trimming the carbon in the arch light on the corner of West Second and Scott street and dropped a piece of the carbon. Michael was standing on a box and just as he dropped the carbon, Sam o Logan happened along going to his home. Michael asked MT. Logan to hand him the carbon which he attempted to do and when Nichael's hand touched Mr. Logans conection was made which sent both of them in several direc- tiOns. Neither were seriously in- jured. Had the rround been wet the probabilities are that the result would have been very disastrous.

FRAUDULENT PETITIONS

During the coming week the Bank Guaranty and State Mining Board bills, for which petitions were circu- lated by the state labor organization, will come up in Pulaski Chancery court for heaving. They are attack ed principally upon the great number of illegal signatures contained upon them. Those who have seen the pc titions agree that fraud is evident on the face of the petitions, and the result of the attack is apparent. Both bills will be discarded and the people of Arkansas will pay about S50,000 for the publication of the faulty acts.
 While the petitions were circulated under the supervision of H. H. Moore, secretary of the Arkansas organiza- tion of labor unions, he can in no way be associated with the fraud which is charged, and those who attack the bills are frank in stating so. MT. Moore simply received the petitions from the field representative who were employed to dothe soliciting for signers. He had no way of telling whether or not they were genuine, he relying in the integrity of the cir culators, all of whom were well re commended to him. Secretary Moore arranged the petitions for filing, and worked hard to keep solicitors in the field, believing that the measures were meritorious.
