There were recent raises in on1c-

in court, as well as a discrepancy in
the amount realized from the sale

seems to have been short changed by

1917 COTTON CROP
EXCEEDS THAT OF 1916

According to the latest statisti-
cal report, furnished the Tele-
graph by A, F.. Smith, govern
ment gin reporter for Hampstead
county, 1874 bales of cotton
were ginned in the county of the
crop of 1917 up to January 1, as
compared to 1880 bales of the
1915 crop for the same period.
This is an increase over the 1916
crop of a bales, which is rather
surprising, as it was generally
thought the crop was smaller.
The residence on the farm of
Mr.. Gilmore, two miles southwest
of Washington, was destroyed by
fire last Saturday evening.
The destroyed house was at
one time the residence of Col.
Elijah Ferguson, one of the early
settlers of the county and one
time law partner of Col Dan w.
Jones at Washington.

LEX E. WOLFF

In our announcement column
this week will be found the name
of Lex E. Wolff, who has author
lied us to announce him as a can
didate for the office of County
and Probate Clerk of Hampstead
County in the coming Primary
election. ~
Mr.. Wolff is wei known to- |. K
people throughout Hempste|d
county. In 1902 he moved to
Washington from the north end
of the county and served as dep
uty clerk under Edgar b. Black,
serving until 1906, when he sue
ceeded Mr.. Black in that office,
serving the people faithfully and
well until 1910. Since that time
he has held various positions of
trust, including the position of
cashier in the local bank.
In selecting a public official
there are two things that stano
out above all others; namely, hon
esty and competency. That Mr.
Wolff possesses these in the high
est degree is recognized by the
people of the county from past
public service and private con-
tact Even any opponent he might
have in the race would not at
tempt to prove to the contrary.
While previously serving as
county and probate clerk, Mr..
Wolff inaugurated a plan where
by he advanced the money to
take up the jury certificates at
par, holding them until the ap-
preparation was made to cover
the circuit court costs. This
plan has proven quite convenient
to jurors and has made it unnec-
essary for them TO sell their GER
tificates at discount. The plan
has since been continued by 9TH
er officials.
There is no man in the county
to whom the duties of the office
of county and probate clerk are
more familiar than to Mr.. Wolf,
and if he is elected the people may
rest assured that the interests OF
the county will be economically
looked after by him, and the bus
mess of this important office con-
Quoted in an up-to-date manner.
We ask our readers to give the
candidacy of Mr.. Wolff their care
ful consideration and assure them
that they can make no mistake IN
voting for him at the approaching
Washington telegraph., 1918-01-25

the first machine having been
made and tested out in 1888.
Since that time many improve
ments have been made and to-
day it is almost perfect and is
the biggest labor saving ma
chine and one of the most won
derful inventions in the world.
The Model "L" now in this
office is the latest achievement
of the Mergenthaler Linotype
Co., and comes up to all expec-
tations. 1t will enable us to
handle almost an unlimited
amount of news of Hampstead
county and to carry late items
right up to the time of going
to press.
The publisher has long look
ed forward to the time when a
Linotype could be installed in
the plant and now this desire
is an accomplished fact,
thanks to the loyal support of
the many friends of the paper
in Hampstead county an d
throughout the country. Now
that we are in a position to
handle more news, let's all CO.
operate in building the Tele-
graph, the second oldest paper
in the state, and only publica-
tion in the South that issued
continuously during the Civil
war, up to the high position it
should occupy in the newspa-
per field.
We invite all our readers so
situated that they can to call
Washington telegraph., 1918-01-25

Some weeks ago the man.
agement announced the pur-
chase of a Linotype to add to
the Telegraph equipment and
we are pleased to announce to
our readers the arrival and in
stallation of the machine. In
directly the installation caused
a days delay in the paper this
week, as the factory machinist,
Mr.. Willett, became i'll while
en- route to Washington to set
it up, and did not arrive until
Thursday night. Some of the
matter for this issue, however,
was set on the machine, and
hereafter all straight matter
composition, as well as some
adds, headings, etc, will be
composed on it. This installa-
ton, made at an expense of
over $2,000.00, gives the Tele-
graph the best equipped news
paper plant in Hampstead
county and one of the best in
South Arkansas.
The Linotype displaces the
old method of setting type by
hand, assembling and mould
ing lines of reading matter on
slugs by the operation of a key
board. After being used the
slugs are re-melted and used
over again, doing away with
the laborious task of distribut-
ing type matter, which is neces-
sary in hand composition.
The Linotype is the inven-
ton of Ottmar Mergenthaler,

Where We Excel

The reason we can serve the farmer
with more satisfaction than do the city
banks is that the farmer is the fOun-
dation OF our enterprise, and for that
reason we keep in close touch with his
needs, while the city bank has custom
ers OF larger enterprises and the farm
is given secondary consideration.
The small farmer is given the same
careful attention as the bigger man at
this bank. Come in today and tell us
your needs for this year.

WILSON HEARS RETURNS.

Washington, Nov. 6.-President Wilson remained at the White House throughout the evening receiving the returns from the Congressional elec- tions, but he retired at II o'clock be- fore there was any clear indication as to the final outcome.
 The president had planned to go to Princeton, N. J., to cast his vote. but abandoned the trip because of pressing international affairs. It was the first time since he was elected president that he had not gone home to vote.
 Only a handful of members of Congress were in Washington practi- cally all senators and representatives having left the city some time ago to participate in the prediction cams paigns. Most members of the cable net however, remained in Washing1 ton.
