LINCOLN COUNTY'S
ANNUAL FIELD DAY
Keen Interest Manifested BY Contest
ants The List Of Prizes
Awarded.

On last Friday morning at ten
thirty there was a capacity audi
ence in the Public School Auditor
ium to hear the literary and music
contests programmed for that
hour.
There is very little formality OBJ
served on these occasions. Only
the keen, personal interest of
neighbors and friends and patrons
of schools represented in the con-
tests and a pardonable curiosity on
the part of the visiting stranger in
terested in the event as whole,
are conspicuous to the on-looker.
Mr.. Eugene Montgomery, OF
Heuck's Retreat School, and presi-
dent of the Lincoln Co. Teachers
Association, was master of cere-
monies at the annual event last
Friday and named the following
judges in the contests Declama-
tion, ]. E. Seavey, E. w. Saucier,
il H. Sumrall; Music, Mrs. o. B.
Brown, Misses Edna Cooley, Cavie
Clark; Expression, Mrs. 0. B.
Brown, Misses Louise Barnett,
Bertha, Buckley. There were five
worthy contestants in defamation !;
four in music and five in express
ion, these numbers all contribut-
ing to the interest of the occasion
and evidencing more or less of pro-
ficiency.
A grateful feature of the morn
ing was the meritorious address by

WARNING AGAINST
TOO MUCH COTTON
Over-P Production in Case Of Cheap
Price win Mean Certain Dis
aster to South.

With a shortage OF ships to move
our cotton to foreign shores; with
no indication of the end of the
war with the Nation stirred over
preparedness for eventualities;
with the buying power of the en-
tire world gradually lessening day
by day, it becomes our duty to is
sue this formal warning as the
time of planting cotton is at hand.
Let everyone encourage the
farmer to be on the safe side by
raising plenty of feed and food for
the community as well as for him
self, his family, and his live stock.
"a calf, a pig, chickens, and a
garden often mean the difference
between want and money ahead
Econmical and safe living for all
as well as "safe farming" must be
the rule if prosperity is to abide
with us.
Six-cent cotton this fall would
spell disaster in the cotton States.
Low price follows over supply as
certainly as the night the day.
High prices and prosperity over
the South this year prove what
voluntary reduction of cotton acre
age does. Any marked increase in
acreage over last year is going to
result in a great loss to Southern
cotton producers, merchants and
bankers, and will similarly affect
all allied business and professions.

FITS OUR CASE.

The following paragraph from the
German Progress and comment on
same by State Press, is not unlike
some of the experiences The Eagle

MORE TROUBLE FOR CYCLONE

Our old friend Cyclone Davis is in
more trouble, or rathed he pretends
that he is. In realty 1t may only be
another effort at spot-lighting on his
part. An effort to get himself before
the people through newspaper noto-
riety. Cyclones latest grievance is
with State Democratic Chairman Paul
NAPLES, who certified his name for
the official ballot as J. H. Davis, In.
stead of J. H. (Cyclone) Davis. He
threatens to sue the chairman for
damages on the ground that his name
a. plain J. H. Davis viii not be recog-
nized BY the general public and he
will lose many votes because his
storm tossed title. Cyclone" does not
appear.
Some Of the papers Of the state look
at II the other way and beliebe he will
get more votes by mistake than he
would II the Cyclone" were on the
ballot to identify him. The Houston
Post discussing the matter says:

he will claim damages against State
Chairman Paul NAPLES, the specific
complaint being that in many counties

ballot as j. VI. Davis instead of j.

Admirers of Robert Louis Steven
son noted today with interest the
prices paid for autograph letters of
Stevenson in the sale here of the col
lection of letters owned by Mrs. Sails
bury Field Of Santa Barbara, Cal.
Mrs. Field inherited the collection on
the death of her mother, who was the
authors wife. The top price of yes
terday's sale was $780, which was
paid for an unpublished letter to Ste
venson's mother in 1881, in which he
mentions that he was paid only 500
for his "Virginibus Puerisque." The
letter brought $3.50 more than the
price paid for the original work. A
letter to Stevenson's father, in which
the author asserted that he was going
to rewrite Treasure Island" brought
S225. The sum of $167.50 was paid
for letter to Stevenson's parents,
in which the author wrote that he had
been offered "a hundred pounds-a
