ms along srareled roadDcd when his
horse stepped on the edge Of a grano-

TO rise. her head ana neck struck him
and caused him 10 slip and roll off on
TO the ground, cutting IL slight cash In
his scalp. The chief Inconvenience he
suffered the fisrt few days after the
accident was soreness in the muscles
OF his arms, which had been seriously
wrenched when the horse stumbled For
four or five days after the accident he
remained in his room, spending some
time each day in going over his bust
ness affairs. but about a week after
the fall: namely, Monday November
-. evidence Of infection OF the cut
manifested itself pr. HorSely was then
called in and Mr. White was taken 10
the hospital. where the infected area
was opened and drained. and al! the
trouble he has undergone since that
time has been due entirely TO this in
lection. which was Very severe, but
which the doctor now states is under
control. and Mr.. White is on the road
to an early recovery"

About this time Chief Burl Rottenber- ry arrived. and after close scrutiny of Robinson's face, he called him by name and supplied the information that few years ago he had supplied evidence which sent the criminal up for forgery Robinson's chin dropped but he still assumed the ecclesiastical air. even though he admitted having been sentenced to term of seven years in the Arkansas penitentiary. and serving two of it before being pardoned by former Governor c.

 It is supposed that Robinson just secured enought to keep himself sup piled with the drug, but several or the jobbers are of the belief that he was merely awaiting the proper time to ask for the cashing of large drafts. for he stayed about their stores for almost a week after purchasing goods, and as this time had elapsed and no return on the checks, showing them to be valueless, had been received, the merchants would naturally sup pose the checks went through and were honored, hence they would be safe in eashing others.

"CoTTON EXPORTERS
 CLEAN UP IN EAST"
Continued from Page n.


 Continued from Page D. imports were from $175,OOO.000 to $2O0 100000, of which B per cent were cotton goods. India is still the worlds largest market for cotton goods. Cal cutta alone now imports more cotton cloth than any one country in the world.
 Using the inferior grade Indian cotton, India herself has built up gi- gantic cotton goods industry. She has 100000 spindles and 10000 looms or more than twice as many as Japan. In Bombay, there are S,0O0.- GOO spindles, more than any other city on earth except Manchester.
 Competition Between India and
 Japan.
 Japan is beginning to make Indian cotton manufacturers worry. Japan csc cotton goods compete with native goods in quality and price and are coming in strongly India is fighting back, however. An increased ad va Tome duty of 1-2 per cent to ' 1-2 per cent has been secured, beginning March 1, 1917. India is used to fight ing back, anyway, because she has bucked the English mill interests for years. It is claimed it was the Lan- cashire interests which forced the 3 1-a per cent tax on Indian cotton products on a classification basis. But with her new z 1-2 per cent duty. India still has 4 per cent tariff wall The United States exports cotton goods to India in an amount ranging in value from SS00,00O to $1,O00, GOO. Up to the war, our trade was confined pretty closely to one line of grey driu. make exclusively by Maine mill.
 Since the war we have made great progress in coiored and print goods and the chances of the future are big with possibilities.

Well, it still rains. started out this afternoon, Thursday, July 20, thinking I could get ahead of it, but no, just as I crossed the new Fort Pike Railway on the Batesville road it commenced to rain and from then on until the next morning 1t continued to rain only giving me time between showers to get from one house to another.
 People are in a very unsettled state of mind in this section. They do not know whether the government is go- ing to take their homes for military purposes or not.
