LONOKE CITY PREPARES
 FOR HOLDING COTTON
ENGLAND TO BUILD WARE HOUSE AND LOCAL BANK TO
 FINANCE CROP.

Little Rock, Sept. 15.-The busi- ness men of England, Lonoke county, have devised plan for handling the local cotton situation most satisfac- torily.
 Frank N. Henderson, editor of the England Courier, reports the organ ization of the England Warehouse Association, with 103 stockholders. J. B. Duncan is president, and J. R. Engand treasurer, and a man is to be employed as secretary and superin- tendent. A mass meeting of mer- chants, bankers and planters was called, with the announced purpose of raising $3,500. So enthusiastic was the meeting that $6,225 was subscrib- ed, and an organization perfected to begin business at once. A block of ground was purchased for $1,75O, up- on which to erect warehouse with a capacity of 10000 bales. The district contiguous to England produces from 12,000 to 10000 bales. The storage and insurance charges at the ware house will be 25 cents bale per month, whereas other warehouses charge 75 cents.
 The Citizens Bank and the Bank of England have agreed to finance the entire crop of the district, lending the farmer on warehouse certificates one cent more per pound than the normal loaning value of the cotton.

DECLARE OFFICIAL
 ELECTION RESULTS
TOTAL VOTE IS I36,5l7
STATE BOARD FANTASIES RE- TNRNS FROM ELECTION OF
 SEPTEMBER IA.

Little Rock, Sept. 29.-Complete official returns of the election held Sept. IA, on file in the office of the sec retary of state, show a total vote of 136,517 cast for governor, divided as follows: George w. Hays, Democrat, 94,O96; A. L. Kinney, Republican, 3O,- 9S7; Dan Hogan. Socialist, 1O,434. The State Board of Election Commis- sioners met today to canvass the re- turns and declare the result
 The complete official vote on the va rious acts and amendments is as fol- lows:
 Act No. 1 (child labor aw)-For, 72,313; against, 25,300.
 Act No. 3 (publicity act)-For, 55,552; against, 4O,72S.
 Amendment No. IA (municipal bonds)-For, 54,7s2; against, 4O,441.
 Amendment No. 15 (lieutenant governor) For, 43,919; against 49,- 101.
 Amendment No. 15 Legislative sal ary)-For, 46,572; against, 51,778.
 For saloon license, 53,330; against license, 67,980.
 The proposed amendments provid- ing for lieutenant governor and for legislative salaries, submitted by the legislature, not only failed to receive a majority of the total vote cast, but did not receive a majority of the vote cast on the subject, and are therefore defeated.
 The bond amendment did not re- ceive a majority of the total vote, but it received a majority of 14,341 on that subject, and having been submit ted under the Initiative and Refer endum, has carried.
 The publicity act, being a statute required only a majority of the vote cast on the subject, and it received 14,824, running only 483 ahead of the bond amendment.
 It is interesting to note that there was an average of only 95,000 votes cast on the acts and amendments, in dicating a very considerable degree of indifference or ignorance on the part of the voters, over 10000 of them not having voted at all on these subjects A further notable coincidence that will observed is that the total num- Der not voting is about the same as the combined vote of the Republicans and Socialists.
 On the other hand, there was a total of 121,310 votes cast on the liquor question, only 15,207 having failed to vote, and the aggregate majority in the state against license is 14,650.

COTTON PRICE
 SLUMPS AGAIN

The price of cotton took another slump today Wednesday,, dropping to IA cents as the ruling price, with 2 1-2 cents as the top. Receipts this morning were fairly heavy, but dropped off during the afternoon. The large majority of cotton brought in is being sold outright, although some of the farmers are holding it. The market is apparently completely de- moralized everywhere, and as there is whole month in which to fill Co., tober contracts, there is no disposition upon the part of the traders to buy except at extremely low prices. A travelling man is authority for the statement that Conway is the only town on the Fort Smith railroad offering a ready cash market for cot ton
 The price of cottonseed has not been changed during the past week and remains at $14 per ton.

STOCK GROWERS MEET.

The Faulkner County Livestock Growers Association held an enthus- iastic meeting at the courthouse yes terday afternoon and discussed plans for the exhibit of stock and the big auction sale to be held at the county fair. Secretary T. Fulmer reported that he had received applications for the sale of a large amount of stock by per sons outside of the association. It is believed that the livestock ex- hibit at the fair will be several times greater than at any previous fair.

It is apparent to the editor that
in last weeks article dealing with
the checkers and the sheriff's Of
flee, an injustice was done Will
liam Miller, former sheriff, in u.s.
ing his name in connection with
the matter. Whatever the editor
intended to say, the inference
was evidently drawn that Mr..
Miller knew something of the at
tack on the sheriff, but Mr.. Mil
ler assures US that he did not,
that he did not meet for political
purposes in the courthouse or
anywhere else with any of those
mentioned, that he appeared be-
fore the checkers only when hav-
ing his books checked as an Of
fetal of the drainage district, and
that his other business at the
courthouse was at the prosecut-
ing attorneys Office, relative to
some tax foreclosures.

this Office, therefore we gladly
correct the mistake.

who are the chief promoters of
the progressive party. Personal
interviews and letters have failed
thus far to throw any light on
the mystery, so far as democrats
are concerned; but from one re-
publican we received the state
ment that "the Examiner has
boosted them several times"
1t may be true. At the last
election they were the dominant
party in this state, the second in
the nation, the most-talked-about
of any party; in fact, some pretty
strong men in both state and
county joined its ranks and are
there yet, hence we can't be ex-
pected to brand them continually
as horsethieves-even if we did
roast them a little for swiping
some of the democratic ideas pro-
mulgated by Bryan for years.
They may be as bad as Taft
claimed, or they may be waiting
until Roosevelt's return to all re-
ceive wings and harps-we can't
just tell from here. for the office
windows haven't been cleaned
this month. But we see no rea-
son for being such a tightwad as
to refuse to scatter an occasional
rose along their thorny pathway,
the walls of the Index political
machine to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Meanwhile, we will accept re-
ports from any democrats who
are promoting the progressive
arty-for the progressives would
likely be much pleased to learn
of any undiscovered friends.

tions. Early in 1776 he was ap-
Lointed chairman of the commit
tee to write the Declaration of
Independence, of which he is the
recognized author, which is said
to be the most revolutionary pol
itical document ever written.
The last II years of his life were
spent at his home as a private
citizen. He died on July A, just
so years after the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, and
on the same day of the death of
his old rival John Adams. By
his request the three crowning
events were inscribed upon his
tomb, namely, the writing of the
Declaration of Independence, the
statute on religious liberty, and
the establishing of the University
of Virginia.

The 23d of April is the birthday
of William Shakespeare, born in
Stratford, England, in 1864, and
who died at the age of So on his
anniversary. He was married to
Ann Hathaway in his 10Th year
and was the father of three chill
dren before he was 20 years of
age. But little authentic history
is given of this most noted poet,
linguist, play writer and actor.
April 27 is the birthday of U.
S. Grant, the 18th president of
the United States, who was born
in two room cabin in Point
Pleasant, Ohio, in 1920, and died
in McGregor, N. Y, July %,
1885. He was man of greatest
military achievements. In 1862
he was called Unconditional

president in 1868 and reelected in
1872. The last few years of
Grants life were spent in writing
an autobiography, the proceeds
of which went to the support of
his family. He was idolized by
the nation but died poor man.
