YOUNG MAN. WHO ARE YOU?

Are you known by your own name.

Are you known by your own good

are you remembered simply because
you bear the name OF better people

into this world?
The young man who can look his

The government cotton report issued
few days ago indicates a crop OF
twelve million bales about for the year
just now beginning. The estimate made
by statistical experts indicate a short
age before another crop is made and
these things are boosting prices to a
higher point than they have been in a
long time. There are more varied opin-
ions as to the condition of the crop in
this county than ever heard here before.
Some still believe there will be a big
crop grown about here, while others
believe the crop will fall far short of
an average, The cotton plant hes grown
large and strong with the fine seasons
of the growing period, but the crop of
fruit is, without doubt, in most fields
sholt of what the stalk would indicate.
A six foot stalk was displayed in front
of. X. Boyd's store last week without
a single large boil on it. This would
seem an exception. but 1t indicates a
condition of large stalk and little fruit
which seems to prevail in most of the
'icher lands of the county. Any way
Indications are for a fine price and the
excellent crop of corn with the good
rice of cotton will put this section in
magnificent financial condition.

n LITE STORY WITH A BIG
MORAL.

In another column of this weeks is.
sue of The AMERICAN PRESS you will
find little item entitled Farmer q
Fine Defense The story deals with
a merchant who saw the farmer call
for package at the railroad station,
the package bearing the label of mail
order house in far off city. The mer-
chant naturally upbraided his neighbor
for not trading at home, explaining
that he carried the same goods in
stock at attractive prices which the
farmer had ordered from the foreign
concern.
The farmers reply was ready in a
moment, why don't you advertise in
the local paper if you have the goods?"
This little story carries a great bust
ness moral and offers a solution for an
evil from which local merchants have
long suffered and for which they them
selves are in measure responsible.
The solution for the mail order evil
lies in advertising by the local mer- !
chant. Local people cannot know what
the local merchants have in stock If
they are not informed through the To-
cal newspaper. The merchants are
gradually learning the truth of this
fact and are fighting mail order houses
With the same weapons which have
made the latter the tremendous force
hey are today namely, advertising. Elk.

Old Fiddler's Contest Success.

Nothing undertaken by the churcl
societies of Somerville has been
greater success than was the old fid
oilers contest held in the court house OF
the Oath of August. Long before the
date fixed for the contest sbout score
of the old time fiddlers had filed their
names with C. C. Williams, who was
assisting the young ladies of the Meth
odist church who were in charge of the
contest, and were to appear on the pro-
gram. From one cause and another
about half this number were unable to
be present and Thursday afternoon
when the court house was filled with
those anxious to witness the contest
there were the following contestants
present: c. c. Byrd, Mason, W. M.
Goodman, Vildo, S. ]. Riggs, Oakland,
Wash Morris. Danceyville, ]. A. Doug
lass, Oakland, Perry Sammons, White.
vile, Ben Peasants, Rossville, J.R,

offered in the main contest for the best
fiddler, and special prizes for the Oldest
fiddler, for the one who plays the fast
est, the one who plays loudest, one who

plays Arkansas Traveller best.
The first prize for the best fiddler,
Sis, was awarded to j. R, Burns, the
second. $40, to Perry Summons, the
third, SIS, to Wash Morris.
The special prizes of 81 each, were
awarded as follows, Loudest to Perry
Summons, Fastest C. C. Byrd, One
string to w. M. Darden, Arkansas

to VIM. Goodman.
Both afternoon and night perform
ances were well attended, the large
crowds filling the capaclous circuit court
room and when the receipts and dis
bursements were counted up at the
close of the performance it was found
that every item of expense had been
met and the NET proceeds left for the
organ fund amounted to 500. bringing
delight to the hearts of the young la.
dies who had worked to make the en-
Lertainment success.
Talk on the streets since the Der.
formance has shown a splendid in.
iorsement Of the contest, many declar.
re that it was one of the best and
most interesting entertainments Som.
srville has ever enjoyed. The total
lash prizes paid amount to $35 at the
afternoon performance and $40 at

II the opinion given out recently By
the county attorney of Davidson county
holds true, such an exodus from the
office of Justice of the Peace as was
never known will take place thruout
this state. He held in on official opin-
ion that no relative of a member of the
county court or of any member of the
county board of education is eligible to
teach in the county schools. 1t seems
the school law so reads, butt has never
been enforced. But it would be pretty

Every piece of statistical information
that comes to light bears out the truth
of the general statement that never IN
the history Of this or any other country
has labor received as high wages as
since the European war began, and yet
the front page of Memphis paper last
week one day bore news about six diff.
ferent strikes of labor people 10 the diff
ferent lines. Unionism is having more
to do with bringing about these strikes
than il any other one agency.

THE RURAL CREDITS Law

When the remarkable record OF legis
lative achievement Of the Wilson sd
ministration is reviewed the rural credits
law will rank first in the minds of many
and among the greatest in the opinion
of all. 1t is of more value to the farm
ing population of the country the basis
element Of the nation. than oil the legis-
lation in their behalf passed by the Re-
publicans in the last half century.
The farmes can give the best security
in the world. It cannot be lost, hidden
or destroyed, or permanently injured.
Bad management may cause manufac-
turing, mercantile, railroad or other
stock drop from $500 share to far be-
low par. There are no such fiuctua-
tons in land values; they are staple
and enduring. Farm loans suffer under
one disadvantage they are not liquid
not Immediately or readily convertible
into cash.
The trouble has always been that our
laws and our banking rules and reguia-
tons have been adapted only to the
needs of the capitalists, merchants ana
business generally which only require
short time loans, but have not been
adapted to the borrowing needs OF the
farmers. But the evil is now cured and
the lack provided for by the rural credits
law.

Hampshire, a thorough student OF, and
probably the best informed man in the
nation on the subject Of rural credits.
