o.,
Gov. Hooper of Tennessee makes
the statement that the time is soon
coming when women will have
the right to vote in all parts of the
United States Poor man! He
has been voting a long time, and
the cruel arm of the law still re-
ouires him to vote in the vicinity
where he has his washing done.
Everything is fair price but
cotton. The moral is plain. If
the cotton growers do not profit
from the lesson that has been
made plain this year, it would seem
that nothing can save Dixieland
from the curse of too much cotton.
1t is a big job to fool a man
about his friends. Every man

can depend upon. Then, too, he
knows those false alarms-those
friends at close range only.
Mr.. Rye literally ran away with

Everything is charged to the

an automobilious city" Ten months
ago there was not an automobile
owner in Salem, now there are a
dozen or more. Fulton county is

be said whether the good roads
movement is a result of the auto
mobile purchases or whether the
buying Of cars is result of good

The North Arkansas Conference
of the Methodist church convened
in annual session at Batesville
Wednesday, with Bishop H. c. Nor
rison presiding. The conference is
a consolidation of the White River
and Arkansas conferences and en-
braces all of the state north of the
Arkansas River. The conference
will likely not adjourn until Sunday
or Monday, and the pastorate
changes likely will, as usual, be an
nounced Sunday night. An unus-
ually large number of changes are
probably being made owing to the
number of presiding elders and
pastors whose services at their pres
ent stations have reached the four

Rieht now it is being demon
strated just how badly the South
needs cotton factories of her own.
Cotton is the South's greatest asset,
vet this section is almost helpless
in the control Of this great necessity
from the very fact that the staple
must be sent out of the South to
be manufactured. That's the big
shame of the whole matter. The
Southern farmer will work himself
and his family half to death in the
production of an absolute necessity,
YET nothing that is made from his
product can be used by him until
he has paid the freight on the
product to another country. Then,
when the manufactured article is
ready for use, he pays the freight
back again. No need to wonder
why the South is poor.
