BELIEVES COTTON
PRICES Will SOAR
SCALES FEELS BULlISH
NOTED TEXAS OPERATOR Be
ILEVES Is CENTS is NOT
IMPOSSIBLE.

New York, Sept. 11.-Of consider
able market interest was an interview
issued by E. G. Scales, the noted Tex
as cotton operator, who made state
ment for the press for the second
time in 20 years.
Mr.. Scales is known to the world
of cotton speculation as the domi-
nant figure in the great advance in
cotton six years ago and as man
who has made several fortunes in the
market. Mr.. Scales interest in the
present market is not large, but his
views are eagerly sought by the trade.
At the office Of his broker, Rens-
korf, Lyons & Co., he said:
81 am not going to express my ideas
of the size of the growing crop, and
! am not going to take any individu-
ais idea of the crop. The best infor-
nation of cotton crop that the world
can get is gathered by the govern
ment, and l am going to speak on the
basis of the governments figures,
practically a 10000, ,O0O-bale crop.
If you will only think, a 100000
BILE crop is not as large in 1915 as was
the crop of 10,600,000 bales was six
years ago in 1909. because of the in
crease in consumption since 1909 of
20 per cent aside from any consump-
ton for war purposes.
''It is obvious that much more than
a million bales of mill waste linters
and low grade cotton has been burned
up in this war and that now the
higher grades of cotton must be used
for such purposes and with telling eff
feet on the market within the next
few months.
"When you ask bear why he is
bear he points out to you the for
eign exchange situation and the car
ry-over from last years crop. AS to
exchange it is just as important to
America to have it stabilized as it is
to Europe because we have cotton,
wheat, oats and other commodities to
sell in addition to war munitions and
other kinds of manufactured goods.
AS to the carry-over, my contention
is that no carry-over from one crop
to another is ever a burden, once hav-
ing been financed, and that such cot
ton comes out only at remunerative
prices"
Mr.. Scales said he would not care
to be short even at Is cents a pound.

TO POSTQFf|Cf

Acting upon instructions received
today from First Assistant Postmas-
ter General David C. Roper, Postmas-
ter H. B. Ingram has notified C. Vir-
gil Hinkle to return to his position as
a clerk in the Conway postoffice at a
salary of $1,000 per year. Mr.. Hin
kle, who has been serving as clerk for
the Wells-Fargo Express Company
for the past two years, will return to
the postoffice tomorrow morning. His
successor in his present position has
not yet been selected by Agent j. W.
James.
Mr.. Hinkle's friends throughout
the county were glad to learn some
weeks ago that the unfortunate cir
cumstances under which he was dis
missed from the postoffice service sew
eral years ago had been entirely
cleared and that President Wilson
himself, becoming interested in the
matter, had made an executive order
restoring Mr.. Hinkle to the service
A COPY of this order, together with
a letter instructing him to give Mr.
Hinkle a clerkship, was received from
the department by the postmaster TO-
day. So far as is known, Mr.. Hinkle
will displace no other clerk in the Of
fee. He was given his preference OF
work here or at some other place, and
chose to remain in Conway.

COTTON lOlCfNTS::
Sled Sl8 PER TON

With the futures market rapidly
advancing, the price of cotton on the
Conway market today "wednesday
is 10 cents per pound. Cotton fu-
lures have advanced about $4 per bale
this week and the indications are the
crop will be much shorter than was
expected. Only about Is or 20 bales
have been marketed here to date, hot
weather causing delay in picking.
The staple, however, is opening rap
idly and if the fair weather continues
will soon be gathered.
Cottonseed also opened at good
price, the few loads which have been
sold bringing from SIC to $18 per ton.
A local buyer predicted a $50 price
within the next few days.

horses, 800 fewer mules, 5000 fewer
hogs and 800 fewer sheep and goats.
The valuation of moneys and cred
Its" was also reduced nearly one-half,
and merchandise and manufactures
were both considerably lower.
There was also decrease in the

this year, against SAIL last year.
The loss was in about the same ratio
for white and colored taxpayers.

The law of this foreign church demands
control of the schools.
Cardinal Gibbons and other American pre-

They now claim to have more than mil

John Grants Artillery

While he was down, Grant and Rosser
hurredly reloaded the cannon.
When the donkey rose to his feet, they
again fired the howitzer; and again 1t was
the little jackass that went down. Nothing
else fell, except a pile Of John Grants due
ats.
The attack on The Jetfersonian was so
clearly an attempt to give personal dlrec-
ton to the Frank case, and to the utterly
corrupt practises revealed in it, from start
to finish that | would have been the silliest
of editors had the tactics of Grant, Rosser,
Haas and Slaton succeeded
The effort to 70calise the issue and narrow
it to personal acraaegle, was bound to be
abortive; it was too clumsy, too thin, to de-
ceive anybody.
What have John Grant and Rosser and
Slaton really accomplished by their fusil-
lade on the Jeffersonian.
What has Slaton done for himself, in sup
plying his rich brother-in-law with private
data for an attack on me?
lie has simply reopened the Fra,eh case,
chunked up every brush-heap Of passion, and
thrown fresh fuel on every fire that was dy
ing down.
He has given new life to every question
IN the debate, and he has drawn all eyes to
the partnership betreen himself and Franks

COME weeks ago The Jetfersonian sum-
- med up the situation in Georgia by
saying:
"TAe GENTLE girl is dead; the Jeao mho
killed her IS dead. The account Is BAL
ANCED. Let it stay So"
IF Rosser, the Haas brothers, and John
W. Grant possessed a grain Of real knowl-
edge about the People, they would have
needed good advice.
Rosser has made his way at the bar by
buster. and bluff, and INSCRIPTIONS disre-
gard of the rights and feelings Of the weak.
The Haases belong to the carpet-bag broth
erhood who have been the vampires OF the
South, and who have grown rich ton the
toll of Gentiles.
John Grant is a newly rich, purse proud
snob, who believes that anything can be
done by Money
Hence, they were determined not to close
the Mary Phagan-.Leo Frank books.
They qcere determined TO REOPEN
THE ACCOUNT.
Accordingly, in the arrogance of his in
herited wealth, John Grant hires little
jackass, straps a small cannon to its back,
and loads the howitzer with ammunition
furnished by his Wandering Willie of a
brother-in-law, Slaton.
John Grant fired off the howitzer, saying
before Ire did so, "thas will smash Watson
Instead, it Frustrated the jackass.
The recoil of the gun was too great for
the strength of the little quadruped
