TO TAKE VOTE ON BOND
ISSUE FOR STREET WORK.

At the Monday night meeting
of the city council, it was decid
ed to submit to the voters of
Hickman the proposition of vot-
ing $4,000 bonds for the pur-
pose Of street Improvement. 1t
viii be submitted at the regular
November election. 1t has been
calculated that the money we
spend patching streets will be
sufficient to pay off the bond is
sue-and this has proven to be
the case at Clinton, Fulton and
other cities that have built streets
by issuing bonds.
As a matter of fact, this issue
could not be sold legally unless
the water and light bond account,
now pending in the court of ap-
peals, should be decided in favor
of the city. But there will be no
harm done in voting on the IS
sue during the interim. If the city
wins IN the case, then the bonds
can be sold and the work done.

FUNNY ADDITION SUM.

How many apples did Adam
and Eve eal
Some say Eve~6 and Adam 2
"a total of 10 only.
Now we figure pSe thing out faI
differently: Eve s and Adam s
alsO-total 16.
We think the above figures
entirely wrong.
If Eve and Adam 50, GER
tainly the total viii be 80.
Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the
antediluvians We're race of
giants, reason something like
this: Eve 81 and Adam 81 to-
tai 163.
Wrong again. What could be
clearer than if Eve 81 and Adam
S12 the total was S93?
/ believe the following to be
the true solution: Eve 914 and
Adam o124 Eve-693S.

EXCERPTS OF WILSON'S
SHADOW LAWN ADDRESS.

Time ont Of number America
has devoted itself to peaceful
pursuits. and business is the eX-
preston.
There never was time when
the pulse of energy and success
beat so high in the blood of A
merica
Ii would be intolerable for the
commerce of the country to be
held up.
L do not regard the principle of
the eight-hoUr day as arbitrable.
Labor is not a commodity but
IA cooperation.
The chief cloud on the American
horizon is the relation between
capital and labor. SO long as
these are antagOnistic there will
be danger.
Court decisions show that an IN
vestigation is the only way to
decide whether the railroads can
afford an eight-hour day. l be-
lieve In the eight-hour day be-
cause under tt the men can do
better work.
a way must be found for pre-
venting a repetition of a situation
like the threatened railroad
strike.
America is never going to say
to individuals you must work,
but it is going to tell organiza-
tions of men that they shall not
interrupt the life of the nation.

COTTON HIGHEST EVER.
CREED NETS 71ac IN SEED.

John Greed, local planter and
business man, sold a bale of cot
ton Monday that netted him 712e
in the seed. 1t was, of course, "a
nice staple.
Many loads of cotton sold Sat
urday up to $6S5 a hundred in
the seed, but Mr.. Creed S cotton,
by reason of having il ginned,
turned out an equivalent of 712c
in the seed.
Ii might also be said that the
highest prices ever paid here for
cotton was paid yesterday when
the market went to 7l4e in the
seed. The previous high
water mark was made last year
when the market touched $500.
There is even talk now of SC
seed cotton, which would be
% some price, ! thank you
At the present prevailing
prices, cotton raisers are enjoy
ing real prosperity; share-erop-

ing up many old accounts made
back in 1914, when cotton was
going at 11ac a pound.

SUGAR FAMINE SATURDAY

For the first time in history,
probably, Hickman merchants
ran short of sugar Saturday and
were unable to secure a pound
from either of the local wholesale
groceries. This is also reported
to have been the situation in
Cairo, Union City, Fulton, Mar
tin and other cities in this sec
tion.
From what we are able to
gather from wholesalers, the big
sugar concerns contracted their
entire output for two weeks to
the French war department. Job
bers and wholesalers have been
buying in short orders ON ac-
count of the unsettled market anC
were therefore caught without a
supply; hence, the retailer was
forced into a sugar famine.
