the legal phases Of tho examination,

old daughter. now at the home Of
her grandparents here.
The examination was perfuuctory
and caused little excitement in the
community. Few persons in the
town realized 1t was being held,
every effort having been made to
keep the fact Of Spanncll's presence
secret. because Of the sentiment
said to have been manifested after
tho shooting. Immediately after the

There is in the deep, dark sea
A spot we marked but holy,
For there the gallant and the free
In his ocean bed lies lowly.
Down, down beneath the deep
Which oft in triumph bore him
He sleeps a sound and peaceful sleep
with the wild waves dashing Ger
He sleeps secure and safe
From tempest and from billow;
The storms that high above him
chafe
Scarce rock his peaceful pillow.
Sleep on, thou gallant dead!

No vulgar foot treads here,
No hands profane shall move thee,
But gallant fleets shall proudly steer
And warriors shout above thee.

During the summer fur mace pipes have become defective through rust, cracks have wid- ened in bad flues. The advent of the heating season uncovers these defects.

URGE FARMERS TO
 SELECT SEED CORN Lack of Good Seed Caus- es Small Pro
 ductiOn.

Arkansas grows a good many acres of corn, but it is safe to say that on more than one half of the entire corn acreage there is not grown enough corn toreally
 pay for the investment and labor. There are at least two important reasons why Arkansas is not growing corn at a profit. The
 land on much of the farming por- tions of Arkansas has been farm
 ed too long with too little atten- tion given to soil fertility. Our farming lands must be made richer through clovers and barn
 yard manures before corn can
 be produced at a profit. The
 second reason why corn cannot be produced at a profit is because few farmers have attempted Tn
 serious way to improve their corn by breeding or by field selection
 of seed. September thefore IS an
 nounced by the Extension DlVls-
 ion of the University of Arkan- sas as the month when farmers
 are 10 be asked to select seed
 corn from the field. Circulars
 will be printed and distributed
 through county agents, bankers
 and county judges and others call
 ing attention to the rules for
 selecting seed corn. While corn
 can be selected anytime in Sep
 tember it is thought that more interest would be developed if a
 special day is selected as Seed
 Selection Day." Therefore, w. J..
 Jernigan, State Agent for Toys Corn Club Work and c. w. W at
 son, State Demonstration Agent, have designated Sept. 27 ss the day when all corn club boys and
 farmers carrying on demonstra-
 tions and others interested will
 be asked to go the fields and se- l lect seed corn; selecting vel
 formed ears from medium sizec stalk, stalks any where from to 10 feet high, ears about 4 to feet from the ground and hang ing down, stalks with plenty O foliage and with good root system' Each farmer should select abou three times as many ears as ht will expect to plant, hang then up in sheds until winter, ther sorting again again and storing properly for the winter, later sorting again and taking off tips and butts and shelling and grad ing just before planting time. i ishoped that one hundred farmers in each County may be secured as "seed corn demonstrators and it is hoped that all of the three thousand boys in the corn clubs will select their seed corn on Sep tember 27.

MR.. CATS SPEECH.

Cats is losing. His reception last night
proves it. The crowd was much smaller
than anticipated, and it did not respond
with the enthusiasm which the discredited
tcandidate was at one time able to evoke.
It was not that Cats oratory lacked its
iold-time brilliance, it was simply that he
didn't say anything. His speech was de-
voted to abuse, and not facts 1t was bill
l1ingsgate, and not logic.
If he had tried to prove his wild asser-
tons, he might have convinced few. But
he did not He adduced not single bit of
proof, he attempted to substantiate not
ssingle statement, apparently thinking the
people would accept without dispute his
!graver charges, together with the minor
errors of history and mistakes in latter-day
iknowledge-things of no importance in
themselves, but indicating faulty power
fof reasoning.
At one stage of his speech, Cats dis
Itinctly said that he cared nothing what
ever for the supreme court and indicated
that he held its findings in contempt. This
is invariably the cry in Mexico whenever
revolution rushes through the land; and
for Cats to intimate that this country is
the harborage of tyranny, is grave insult
to the democracy of the land, and will cost
him as many votes as his impudent claim
to Me-and-God" partnership,
Cats, in the fat-footed statement to-
wards the end of his speech that his me
would be on the ticket, Il don't care
whether they call me democratic or indie

before there was any necessity for bolting-

can to divide the people whose principles lie
