MONTHLY DEMANDS ARE
 ESTIMATED AT S1OO, 900
Collections From Licenses, Penalties and Fees Offset This Sum by Approximately $10,O00
 Month.

Each month the general revenue fund of the State Treasury, from which all salaries and expenses incident to the operation of State schools and charita- ble institutions, is mourning a deficit of approximately $90,000. Such has been the condition for the past three months, during which outstanding warrants which cannot be paid have totaled, according to the State audi tors figures, $299,7O5. This amount will reach more than half million dollars before the legislature convenes. The pay roll made out, not contained in the $299,705, probably will swell the total of outstanding warrants against the general revenue fund to $35O,000
 To offset a monthly expense of ap- proXimately $2OO,OOO, all of Which must be paid from the fund, total of $S,716.45 was paid into the fund dur ing the month. This is not enough to pay salaries of the Statehouse employ es alone, which aggregate about $12,- 900 a month. In addition, salaries in cident to the administration of all State schools and charatble institu- tions, salaries of circuit court judges and chancellors and expenses of main taining the schools and institutions, must come from the general revenue fund.
 Because of the defunct condition of the States general revenue fund, State employees paid in warrants must discount them from 10 to 20 per cent, and many banks are not eager for them even at the latter named figure.
 During the month the secretary of State paid to the general revenue fund $4,441.75, collected in fees and from commissions The fact that many com missions were issued this month to of ficials elected at the general election and taking office, this amount was lar ger than that usually coming from the secretary of states office. The attor- ney general paid $4,167.70 inheritance tax collected through his office and $l07 in delinquent franchise tax. These three amounts were all monies paid into the fund during the month.

livestock. But these men need practi- cal aid from the bankers and merch- ants.
 Many of the business men realize, that for their own sakes, they must help the farmers to bring about farm ing and business prosperity in the face of the cotton situation. They say that what helps the farmer helps them and that they are ready to do their part in a material way.
 "We must all get together now as never before" says one of the leading banker farmer in the State. No mat ter what the outcome of the cotton sit aution may be, We can solve our prob lem only by making more money and keeping this money at home. The only way to make more money is to diver sify our crops and to get more COWS, hogs and chickens. These are the things that have made the people in Iowa and Illinois rich and they will make us rich. The situation is criti- cal but we will be in fine shape next summer and if the whole State is aroused to the necessity for complete diversifcation. This is solving the problem in Mississippi and it will do it here. This movement will do more for all the people than any other move ment ever started in this State It means money and more and more money year after year.

HEARING HAMPSTEAD COUNTY

DEMOCRATS EXPECT
 VICTORIES TUESDAY
Landslides Will be Necessary to Over
 turn Party's Majority in Congress

New Yock, Nov. 1.-Chief interest in the elections Tuesday centers on the struggle for the next Congress, heightened by the fact that all success ful candidates for the Senate, as well as the house, will be chosen by direct popular vote. Thirty-one states will elect senators.
 The present small Democratic ma jority of 10 in the Senate seems a safe one, as the Republicans would have to make gain of six to get con trol, and there are only seven states outside of the "solid South" where present Democratic seats are being de tended.
 In the house 21S members are nee essary for a majority. The present Democratic standing is 2S5, Republi- cans 122, progressives 19, indepen- dents1, and vacancies 6, which seats were last occupied by Democrats. To change the political complexion of the house, opposition parties must main tain their present, strength and win 6S additional seats.
 Governors are to he elected in 20 states.

AID FARMERS IN DIVERSE
 FEED FARMING CAMPAIGN
Bankers and Merchants Ready to Help with DiversiiicatiOn and Livestock. Leading Agriculturists are
 to Take Part.

The great Profitable Farming Cam paign in Arkansas starts next Monday November 9th, with a meeting at Little Rock of the Governors of the Cotton States and leading farmers, merchants and bankers from all over Arkansas and the South.
 Among the leading agriculturists who will be present is r. G. Holden, director of the Agricultural Extension Department of the International Har- vester Company. He will take part in the entire campaign with his staff of twelve or fifteen practical farming men who have done so much for diver sification and livestock in Mississippi and other Southern States. In each county visited from 25 to 40 meetings will be held on farms, at schools and in towns.
 The great object of the campaign is to bring into closer cooperation the banking, mercantile and banking in- terests of the State. Many of the leading farmers and business men in Arkansas declare that only through a diversity of crops and the raising of more poultry and livestock can the people have money and be able to keep their money at home. Hundreds of farmers are ready to give up the ex- elusive raising of cotton and begin afresh with money making crops and
