Missouri and North Arkansas rail way on the north, which almost par allels the Iron Mountain. He said that the road after reaching Clinton would follow the crest of the Boston Mountains, along splendid and eas- ly constructed route, with no large streams or bottoms to cross. This section of the state, he said, consist ed of some of the finest lands in Ar kansas, the resources of which are locked in for lack of transportation facilities. Much business would be drawn to Conway by the development of this country, MT Nixon stated It was his idea that the recently -ap- propriated government road building funds, supplemented by an equal amount from the state automobile taxes and also aided by local taxes could be used to construct the Little Rock Rogers highway without proving burden to anyone, and he favored organizing for the purpose of pre- 'enting the claims of this territory to the legislature which meets in Jan uary..
 Several other short talks were made at the meeting and the project receiv- ed the hearty endorsement of all pres ent. Mr. Nixon stated that as soon as the executive committee could be organized another meeting would be called at some central point. The Clinton men in attendance at last nights meeting were o. P. Nixon, w. T. Hamm, Jesse Koon, Henry Gra- ham, Will Roach, H. l.. Stallman, Rev. w. F. Blevins, F. M. Smith, James Saunders, Steve Morrow, R. Buttrum, Bert Bradley, Fred Camp, Allen Lay and J. w. Pate. The party made the trip here in six autos.
 Mayor J. c. Dawson received a telegram from the Madison County Good Roads Association expressing regret their inability to send del egation to the meeting, but promising their hearty cooperation in the eff fort to secure the highway from the to northwest Arkansas.

COTTON LOWER:;
 MARKET NERVOUS

The slump on cotton which began late yesterday continued today, the market being nervous and consider ably lower The close, however, show ed a better tone and was several points up from the low point of the day New York contracts closing only six to 10 points net lower than yes terday.
 The severe break in futures, how ever, had a decidedly adverse effect on spot values, and today's local prices have been unsteady, ranging from 1S.40 to IS 3-4 cents The pre- vailing price this afternoon was Is l-2 cents. Prior to yesterdays break good many bales had sold here at 1860 cents. The decline of more than one cent pound in 24 hours is one of the heaviest ever shown on the local market. Receipts, however, are heavier today than any day this week, the farmers apparently being afraid of further declines and anxious to sell at today's prices, which ar. still high.
 Cottonseed is apparently unaffected by the decline in cotton, the upward trend being maintained. Several loads sold here this morning at $51 per ton, a new high record. The pre- vailing price this afternoon Wa &5650, with practically all local buy CT. in the market.
