BEST THEATRE.

Monday-Mary Pickford, the most admired actress on the screen, is seen in the production of her own com pany (The Mary Pickford Film Cor poration). This production is entitl- ed "Less Than the Dust" It deals with the life of little girl of English parentage, who is allowed to become an outcast in India. She is regarded by the natives as less than the dust their feet stir up.
 Her father was formerly an Eng fish officer who succumbs to the drug habit and becomes an outcast and is known as "The Derelict."
 The part that Rhada (Mary Pick ford) plays in the native uprising, how she learns of her English parent age, her experiences in England, her romance and many other things are told in way that make this thor oughly enjoyable seven-reel photo- play.
 Mary Pickford is at her best and will prove more attractive than ever. There is plenty of good comedy and the finish is most delightful one. The picture is pure entertainment.

The latest firm in Pine Bluff to change its business policy from a credit to cash basis is the Sammon X Stone company, at 307 Main street.
 'We formerly did a big installment business" said Mir. Stone yesterday, "but we decided we could serve our trade better by operating on cash basis. and so we discontinued selling for credit"
 'The cash store is in position to of fer better goods for less money than the credit store, and yet yield as good profit" explained Mir. Sammon. "In the first place we now have no losses from bad accounts--that means a sav- ing to the buyers. Because if a mer- chant extending credit is to continue in business he must charge enough for his goods to make up for losses incurred by creditins people who fail to pay. Then, there is the item of bookkeeping. Selling for cash, we save the salary. of . bookkeeper. Without losses and without accounting ex- pense, We can cut a big per cent from

COTTON LOSES HEAVILY
Too Much Rain and Weather
Extremes do Damage

The growing crop has suffered
severe deterioration during the
last two weeks. accoring to reports
from correspondents Of The Com
mercial Appeal from all over the
belt. While this deterioration is
not given in percentage figures,
there is no doubt but that it
amounts to several points.
Too much rain. boil weevil and
other insect depredations, and ex-
tremes of weather conditions have
been responsible for the loss in
condition shown by the crop,
Heavy shedding is reported from
practically all sections, while, ow-
ing to the heavy foliage on the
late crop, bolls near the bottom of
the stalk are rotting in large num-
bers. This is especially true in
central valley states and Okla
homa, where progress in August
was greatest. In the eastern states
shedding has been extraordinarily
heavy, and correspondents state
that the yield will be far short of
the promise of two or three weeks
ago.
Boil weevil are doing severe
damage in Arkansas, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama, and to a
less extent in Georgia. With the
weevil on top and rOtting on the
bottom the crop is attacked from
two angles. Boil worms have done
heavy damage IN a few sections 10
Oklahoma.
There is some question as to the
effect of recent rains in Texas. In
the south it is believed the yield
may be increased, but in the CEN

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
Several Warm Contests VIII
Close With Today's Results

The republican primary, which
has grown to be quite warm
member, will be held today. At
this writing there have been no
more Withdrawals and it looks now
like there will be no more. 1t is,
in some respects, one of the most
holly contested. primaries the party
has had in many years.
There are two candidates for
trustee, two for county court
clerk, two for county Judge, FIVE
for register, three for circuit court
clerk and four for sheriff, making
eighteen candidates in all. Each
candidate is putting in full time
and bis friends are also interesting
themselves in the outcome.
Some or the races are being
warmly contested, much feeling
manifesting itself, and, let the re-
suit be as it may, sores will be left
that will be slow in healing.
The democrats, from a party
standpoint, realizes that it is no
fight of theirs and are looking on
with much complacency.
The primary, however, while
warmly contested, it is believed,
will pass off without any trouble,
but each candidate and his work.

WAS RESPONDENT
Emmett Myracle Committed Sui
eide Sunday

1t was reported here Monday
that a young married man, living
near Yuma, had killed himself
Sunday. and that he committed
the deed because Of family troubles
and fear of being drafted into
army service. Investigation, how
ever, located the incident as hav-
ing occurred at Wildersville. The
following special from Lexington
gives the particulars:
Emmett Myracle, aged 30, a
young married man living three
miles from Wildersville, in Hen
derson county, committed suicide
Sunday by shooting himself in the
abdomen with a pistol, the bullet
ranging upward and piercing his
lungs. The shot was fired Sun
day morning about>9 O'clock, but
the victim did not die until in the
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Effort was
being made to convey him to Nash
vile to a hospital and he had been
carried to Wildersville when death
overlook him. He is the son of
Lee Myracle, a prominent farmer,
and was married about year ago
to Miss Cora Hendrix, who alone
survives him. The rash act is
due, it is believed, to dependency

trail and western sections of the
state it is thought the rains came
too late. On the other hand, open
cotton in the fields was damaged
by the rains.
The crop everywhere is late and
the size of the yield is yet depend
ent to a large degree on the date
of killing frost.
Picking is making fair progress
and as a rule growers have been
selling at current levels, but gen.
orally speaking, they are showing
a pronounced disposition to resist
any further decline in values.
There will be some scarcity of la
Dor in places where the yield is
large.
In Tennessee the plant is gener-
ally heavily fruited and is begin
ming to open, but owing to the
lateness of the crop, picking will
not start before the 18th or Goth
of the current month. There are
a few complaints Of insect damage
and some shedding, but these are
not general. The size Of the yield
will be greatly affected BY the date
of killing frost.
