As
 Senator James P, Clarke, of Arkan- sas enjoys the distinction of being the only member of the Senate who has taken the oath of office without being escorted thither by another sen ator. Usually the sitting State col league performs the service for the new man.
 Mr. Clarke was elected to succeed the late James K. Jones. The strug- gle was of the character that leaves scars. Senator James H. Berry-who IS dead now-had served for many years with Jones, and in the campaign between Jones and Clarke was so partial to the former that when Mir. Clarke came into the Senate to be- gin his services he did not ask to all low Mr. Berry to introduce him.
 When some one suggested that he accept the escort of some other sen- ator he refused saying:
 "No; if can not go down with my colleague, 1 will not ask any one else to go with me. 1 will go alone"

PRESIDENT CALLS FOR PRAYERS
FOR PEACE.

Sunday. October 4th, has been
designated as peace day by Presi-
dent Wilson. On that date every
Christian is asked to attend his
place of worship and pray for peace.
1t is appropriate that this great
country should supplicate the Throne
of Grace in an appeal for peace,
while the different Christian nations
of Europe are praying for success in
the slaughtering Of one another. In
his appeal for day Of prayer for
peace President Wilson exhorts the
people ITO unite their petitions to
Almighty God, that overriding the
counsel of men, setting straight the
things they cannot govern or alter,
taking pity on. the nations now in
the throes of conflict, in His mercy
and goodness showing a way whore
men can see none, He vouchsafe
His children healing peace again
and restore once more that concord
among men and nations, without
which there can be neither happi-
ness nor true friendship nor any
wholesome fruit of toll or thought
in the world; praying also to this
end that He forgive us our sins, our
ignorance of His Holy will, our
willfulness and many errors, and
lead us in the paths Of obedience
to places of vision and to thoughts
and counsels that purge and make

stated yesterday. The drought in
the early part of the season cut
down the activity Of the weevil and
permitted better crop than would
have been the case had there been
much rain. In other words condi.
tions were in favor of a fair crop
despite the weevil.
When compared to human labor
picking off boil weevils the mixture
is negligible in cost. With a big
spray 6 rows can be treated at one
time. Probably a dozen applications
per year would be sufficient. No
insect life can exist on the plant.
This climates worms as well as
weevils. The first cost of the mix
ture is low, too.
Summed up, the mixture is cheap,
effective and destined to come into
general use in the cotton growing
sections. Now that it has been
proven of value it is expected it
will be prepared and marketed. One
of its staunch supporters, a man
who knows it worth, is Mr.. Hum
phries, of Greenwood. The Others
who realize its efficiency are scat
tered around this district.
The news does not wish to appear
overly enthusiastic over this remedy
for the i'll of Dixie, when it recalls
the number of other preparations
out, but it honestly believes it will
mean bigger crops at less cost than
anything SO far tried. Under any
conditions it is bound to eradicate
the weevil to a large extent and give
the grower a larger and better crop
than he could make otherwise.
