CLEMENCY ON
 ACCOUNT OF POOR HEALTH

Little Rock, Oct 12.-One of the reasons causing Gov. Hays to extend executive clemency to J. A. Moody of Craighead county, is that he is in very poor health, and if left on the state farm, it is expected that he would soon die. He was convicted at Lake City on charge of murder in the second degree and sentenced to 21 vars in the penitentiaray. He has been in the penitentiary four years, had been in jail one year preceding his conviction. The application for his pardon was accompanied by a long petition signed by many prominent citizens and off, cials.
 The governor has also granted a pardon to Jim Neal Frisby of Union county, who had been fined $50 on a charge of giving whiskey to a minor.

PANTHER KILLS AND
 EATS LITTLE GIRL
iruesOme Story From Grey Bend
 NeighborhoOd.

Uepanto [Poinsett Col Enterprise.)
 According to a story from the Greys Bend neighborhood up Little River, about ten days ago, two little girls, whose names could not be learned, were going from their home to a neighbors, when they were chased by a panther who overlook the smallest child and after tearing it almost to pieces with it's claws ate its head and portions of it's body. The sister final ly reached the house where they had started, and gave the alarm. Sever al men started out to kill the panther, but when they got there the beast had fled leaving parts of the dead child.
 It os said upon good authority that the iungles in the neighborhood men toned are not only infested with pan thers. but that bears and other fero- cious animals live there, and that it is not safe for men in parties to travel that section unless they are heavily armed.

BULLS FORCE NEW
 GAINS IN COTTON
Market is Active and Prices Ad- vance-ClOSe is at 22 to 30 Point Rise.-Market Opened
 Steady at a Decline of & points

New York, Oct. 11-In contrast to the weakness of closing days last week todays cotton market was very ac- tive at times with resumption of bull support on a large scale and a strong advance in prices which carried January contracts up to 12.84c, against the closing figures of 12.53c on Saturday. Scattered realizing in the last hour brought about a little re- action and final prices were P to 30 points net higher.
 The market closed steady at points decline to 1 point advance, re- flecting easy cables and an absence of frost on the early weather map, ex- cept along the eastern edge of the belt. It was soon apparent however. that large interests were accumulat- ing cotton and offerings, which was quite liberal soon disappeared, leav- ing the market almost bare of cotton and in a position to advance rapidly on any good buying movement. The general theory seemed to be that big bulls having sold out before the de- cline last week, were of the opinion that drop of 70 points from the highest of the season fully discounted any improvement there may have been in the general situation, besides elimi- hating most of the weak long ac- counts.
 Uptown interests, Wall Street houses, large local operators and the South, were among the most conspi- cious buyers of today's advance, which ran prices up fully $2 bale from the low point of the forenoon, when De cember sold at 12.34c, January at 12.44c, March at 12.69c and May at 13.35c. The strength of the spot positions in the South and a feeling that recent frosts had practically stopped all further growth in North ern sections of the belt materially helped the bull position. At 12.S4c for January scattered realizing appeared. causing reaction of about 10 points in the last half hour. The prospect for clear and warmer weather in the eastern belt was more than offset by predictions for increased cloudiness and colder conditions in the South west.

 sftsr the organization, certain pro ...r owners brought suit to enjoln 1. Roard from proceeding with the (rstrction of the improvement, the |,vvipe of assessments and the IS (,,rce of bonds. The complaint seems 1, have been so framed as to constl- [ts an assault upon the validity of l, whole statute. In every point Tn [ticb tbe act was attacked, it was sus- l,;rod and these rulings will have a E.,ring upon similar issues in cases (rolyng other special acts.
 The court holds that the act is not |ud because it includes property Tn an |r,orporated town without obtaining |ae consent of the majority in value |d the property owners. It is also |hH that the law does not invade the Jurisdiction of the municipality by au- |aorlng the improvement of a high |@ which constitutes one of its l |,nwb The statute is completely put into force by the Legislature and
 nlHg is left to the Board so far
 s nnpleting the enactment. There
 aN nothing in the contention that ! mat is void because it fails to pro- ni for the commissioners to take an Ra of office; nor is it void because Edence shows assessments invalid |n account of a lack of uniformity.

NATURAL GAS PRO-
 DUCTION IN 1914

Statistics compiled under the super- vision of J. D. Northrop. of the United States Geological Survey, show that the quantity of natural gas commer- cially utilized in the United States in 1914 exceeded that so utilized in any previous year in the history of the nat ural gas industry. The quantity pro- duced which amounted to approximate ly 591 ,S66, ,733, ,000 cubic feet valued at $94, 5,524, constitutes new record of production, exceeding by nearly 10 billion cubic feet, or almost 2 per cent the former record, established in 1913.
 Increases in output in 1914 over 1913 were credited to New York. Ohio. Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana-Alabama. Iowa and California, the State last named alone recording a gain of nearly ' billion cubic feet. Other gas-pro- ducing States recorded declines in out put, the greatest of which, that of Pennsylvania, amounting to slightly more than 10 billion cubic feet.
 The increases in gas production may be attributed to various causes in New York to the increased drilling activity stimulated by the advancing petroleum market in 1913 and the early part of 1914; in Ohio to local ex tensions of the productive fields of the gas belt in the development of an i'm portant gas pool in the vicinity of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County; in Okla homa to the development of gas reser- yes in the Cushing field, Creek County, as well as to a decided expansion of the local casinghead gasoline industry; in Texas to a greater utilization of the gas supplies available in the Petrolia and Mexia fields; in Louisiana to the greater development of the gas re- serves in Caddo and De Sota parishes; and in California to increased demands for domestic consumption in Los An geles and adjacent towns in the south ern part of the State as well as for in dustrial consumption in the casing head gasoline industry.
 Of the record breaking production of natural gas credited to 1914 it is estimated that a total of 203, ,104 35S,- 900 cubic feet, about 34 per cent, was supplied to domestic consumers at an average price of 2S.04 cents thou sand cubic feet and that 3SS, ,762,375,- 900 cubic feet, the remaining 66 per cent, was supplied to industrial con sumers at an average price of 9.56 cents thousand cubic feet. During the last four years the ratio of domes- tic to industrial consumption has var jed but slightly Formerly, however, a relatively greater proportion of the annual yield was supplied to industrial consumers.

EXCHANGE RATES
 ARE OFF AGAIN
Report Circulated Supplemental Loan of Quarter Billion Has Been Under Contemplation by
 Conference New York Bankers

New York, Oct. 11.-Foreign ex- change rates went down again to- day in the face of the successful float ation of the $50O,000,0OO credit loan to Great Britain and France to their lowest point since September 15.
 So disquieting was the situation deemed, that three hour meeting between Wall Street bankers and Sir Edward Holden, a member of the Anglo-trench commission was held late in the day at the National City Bank for the reported purpose of de- Vlslng some new method to bolster the value of the English pound ster- ling.
 Since the arrival of the commis- sion here September 10, the trend ot sterling values has been steadily, though slowly, upward. For the past week sterling has been selling for S4.|2. One day recently it went as high as fraction above S4.73. Today 1t sold down to $4.67 IA, all together too far below par to make continued buying of American exports desirable from the British point of view, in the opinion of some New York financiers.
 The meeting held today, it was re- ported, was primarily to reach an understanding as to the best avail able method of using the $500 ,00O.- 900 to stabilize exchange and also with view of arranging private agree ment between New York bankers on one hand, and London bankers on the other for credits which would tend to send the value of sterling up in this foreign exchange market. A supple mental credit of $250,000,O00 it is said was discussed.
 Foreign exchange experts in the conference, were reported unani- mously agreed that there would be only one remedy left when the pro- ceeds of the $500,0O0O0O would have been spent, the virtual elimination of the pound sterling as the standard of the world finance and the substitution of the dollar instead at least for the remainder of the wars duration.
 A supplemental loan of $250,000,- 900, it was thought, could easily be floated under these conditions if con fined to banks and to banking insti- tutions, and not offered to the general public. Advocates of the plan were reported to have sought to convert Sir Edward to their idea, though it was admitted he probably would have diff culty in convincing British bankers that the time had come to supplant the pound sterling with dollars. Failure to do so might result in curtailment of British purchases here through fur ther depreciation in British sterling rates.
