BUY-A-BALE
MOVEMENT
Increase of Cent and Quarter in
Ten Days Traceable to Nation
Wide Campaign.

A raise of a cent and a quarter
per pound in cotton during the
past ten days was reported IN
New Orleans as directly traceable
to the buy-a-bale movement for
which a nationwide campaign Is
being directed from this city. Ten
days agoin various sections of
the cotton belt the staple was sell
ling at 64 cents. 1t has gone to
8 cents and is still on the rise.
In addition to this tangible evil
dence of the effect of the buy-a-
bale campaign cotton has taken
on an optimistic tone, as the
brokers would say. Small farmers
and country banks throughout
the cotton belt are beginning to
realize the extent of the move
ment and they are confident that
insolvency has been avoided. The
entire country has come to their
rescue.
The news that the buy-a-bale
campaign has already afforded
some relief in the cotton situation
has given the movement a sub
stantial impetus. AS soon as re-
suits became apparent scores of
buy-a-bale converts rushed in
their orders. The camgaIgn has
only started, and there is ample
time for everybody to share III
the glory, w. B. Thompson; chair
man of the Cotton Exchange

SIDEWALKS AND STREETS.

In the residence districts of the city of Conway there have been built with in recent years about 15 miles of con- crete sidewalks, varying in width walks have been laid in compliance with ordinances by the city council and the cost of all of them has been borne by the individual property own CTS, without assistance from the city. Assuming that the average cost of concrete sidewalks has been 12 cents per square foot and the average width five feet, the walks have cost in the neighborhood of 50 cents per running foot, or s3,168 per mile.
 Now s3,00O per mile will build a good macadam road It would not be sufficient to surface with stone the en- tire width of the average graded street, but It would doubtless cover the cost of maeadam pavement at least 20 feet wide, which would be am- pie for the present needs of the resi- dence streets.
 Our property owners have borne with little complaint the burden of laying concrete sidewalks. Not only have they paid the entire cost of the work individually, but they have had t1 aI1 n+ <lo contractor completed the job.
 By building macadam streets under the improvement district system the burden upon the property-owners will

ROTATION IN OFFICE.

In an announcement in a Little Rock paper, Prof D. T. Rogers of Jonesboro, candidate for superintend- ent of public instruction, calls atten- tion to the fact that his opponent, Prof. George B. Cook, is now serving third term and is seeking fourth. This alone,' Prof. Rogers states, T confidently believe, will assure my nomination, for the Democracy of Ar kansas has repeatedly declared in fa- vor of two terms and rotation in of flee"
 But in the very next sentence Prof. Rogers states that he served as superi intendent of schools at Jonesbor6, continuously for 20 years and was re- elected to another term" Further along in the same announcement he states that he has served several years as county examiner of his county.
 It strikes us that after having served 20 years continuously in one public position, Prof. Rogers is not in a favorable attitude to urge "rota- 'tion in office" There is no more reason for rotating a state superintendent of public schools than there is for rota- ting city superintendent of public schools. Prof. Rogers was doubtless retained by the Jonesboro school dis trict for 20 years for the same reason that Prof. Cook has been retained by the state for six years. The natural inference is that each has been the right man in the right place.

NEW SECRETARY FOR
 GOVERNOR (. W. HAYS

Little Rock, Jan. 2-Omer C. Burn side of Camden, today became assist ant private secretary to Governor Hays, succeeding Van Simms, who. came into the office during the admin istration of Gov. Futrell. MT. Simms will remain in the office temporarily as executive clerk, completing some statistical work that has been under taken by the governor. MT. Burn side, the new assistant, was formerly court reporter of the Thirteenth cir cult, when Governor hays was circuit judge.

be great deal lighter than it was in case of the sidewalks. In the first place, if the street can be paved with macadam at about the same cost per running foot as the average concrete sidewalk, the cost to each property owner would be cut in half. since the property on both sides of the street would share the cost.
 In the second place, large portion of the total cost of street improve ment should be borne by the city out of it's general revenue The light and water plants are now on a self-sup- porting basis and instead of requiring appropriations will soon begin to turn revenue into the city general fund. Conway's municipal revenue, outside of water and light receipts, will ag- thousand dollars of this amount is de- rived from the five-mill city tax; an- other $1 ,000 from the city's share of the three-mill road tax; another S1,- 900 is collected from those liable to street duty, and at least $500 is receiv- ed from fines and licenses each year. The actual and necessary expenses of the city government is at present only about Sl 300 per year. Setting aside S1 900 for other necessary expenses and S1 900 for the city's contribution to the business street paving district already organized, there should be left at least $4 900 which could be paid an- nually toward the cost of making per manent streets. This amount would represent from one-third to one-half. the annual payments for the street improvement, depending upon the amount of streets selected for inn provement. It would mean still greater lessening of the burden upon individual property as com pared with the cost of laying side , walks.
 In the third place, the cost, whatev-
 CT it is, would be distributed over a term of several years, probably 10 or l5, instead of having to be paid all at l once, as has been the case with side i walks. The money for such an i'm provement could be borrowed at six
 per cent, cheaper rate than proper | ty-owners acting individually could | be able to secure.
 In the face of these facts, why should we hesitate longer to begin the work of constructing permanent streets? Even now the time is short
 for an organization to be effected and
 completed so that construction work
 could be started during the spring and summer months, the most favora- ' ble season.
 What are we going to do about it?
