'MR, WILSON THANKS
 JEFFERSON DEMOCRATS
Humility Writes Kerwin President is "Heartened by. Patriotic Pledges"
 of County Convention

Democrats of Jefferson county are thanked by President Wilson for their "words of appreciation and good will," contained in resolutions adopt ed at the county convention here Monday. The presidents thanks are expressed in a letter received last night by Judge E. J. Kerwin, chair man of the convention. The Jeffer son organization was the only one in the state to make known approval of the presidents course in his conduct of war preparations, and to pledge him support. The resolution, copy of which was telegraphed the presi- dent, were presented by Judge John M. Elliott.
 The letter conveying President Will sons thanks is from Joseph P. Tuin- ulty, secretary to the president. It is dated at the white house June 4, and reads: My dear MT. Kerwin:
 "The President asks me to thank you and MT. Miner very warmly for your kind telegram of the 3rd of June, and to tell you and all those concerned how deeply he appreciates your generous words of appreciation and good will. He is heartened by your patriotic pledges.
 Sincerely yours,
 "J. P. HUMILITY,

SELL COTTON AT 3Oc ..
 ALEXANDER ADVISES
25c-50e-$l.O0

That 9 cents to 3n cents per pound can be obtained for cotton now in warehouses, and that it should be sold at this price, is the advice of S. c Alexander, in the current issue of the Merchants and Planters Review, issued by the Merchants and Plant ers' bank. The editorial on the. cotton situation reads:
 Since our last report the weather has warmed up and crops of all kinds are looking good. The weather for the past three weeks has been ideal for cleaning them and getting them ready for general rain. Many are ready for the rain now.
 "There is not so much to be said about cotton. Just a word to those who are out on the limb and now saving it off near the trunk of the tree. This applies to those who are holding 1917 crop, or part of it, and growing as much or more than they did last year with small crop of feed stuff.
 "If the war lasts. as the knowing ones think it will they will fall with "a great crash and their cotton will have to be sold at ruinious prices. Many of them have stored their cot ton with utter disregard for the flu ture. They should stop and look back as we'll as ahead.
 Cotton can yet be sold from 25 cents to 30 cents per pound. and thing it should be sold before a low CT level is reached.
 eff the war should close. or if we had ships enough to transport it to England, France and Italy, the sit uation would change and very diff ferent story could be told
 Don't forget the Dry Salt Extras are selling today to the planter around 24 cents per pound: this should be the price of a pound of middling hill cotton. Add to this price 1-2 cents 10 ' cents for river cotton, benders and staples then you would have what you can get today for your cotton.
 Don't say you cannot sell, for you can at these prices. It looks hard to accept such prices when you set tied with your hands around 30 cents to 32 cents per pound.
 "The loss has been made, and 1t looks like the easiest way out is to accept it.: charge it up to educational account. and resolve to do better next time"

BEST THEATRE.

Today and Tomorrow, Cecil B. De- Miles Whispering Chorus"
 We have here a remarkably fine picture, the photography of which alone should win for it niche in the moving picture Hall of Fame. Cecil DeMille has done nothing better in his distinguished career than the di- rection of this feature, numerous as his screen successes have been in the past. It is difficult matter in re- ferring to a production of such high quality to picture out scenes which stand forth most brilliantly.
 Raymond Hatton, as John Trimble, plays his dual role of embezzler and the outcast. Martin, with power and discernment. His makeup is patric- ularly ingenious, and one could scarce, ly imagine a greater contrast than he presents between the respectable hus- band of Jane and the haggard, broken man who finally yields to the home longing and is not recognized by his own mother until he reveals himself.

P. B. BOYS ANXIOUS
 TO GET AT THE HUNS

"All the Pine Bluff boys at Camp Beauregard are well, and are anxious to go to France, and pet at the Huns," was the statement made last night by Miss Ferda Oaks, upon her return from Alexandria, where she spent several weeks. "I saw most of the Pine Bluff boys, and they all appeared strong and healthy. They are in high spirits, but impatient to get ov- erseas."
 Miss Oaks, who was the guest at Alexandria of her aunt, Mrs. Charles J. Martin, was accompanied home by her grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Cal lison, who will visit her daughter, Mrs. Nellie Oaks, for some time.

Thinks Mermaid Was Manatee.

The Journal of Heredity rises to re-
mark that the first mermaid In all
probability was not pure invention. In
all probability the mermaid story
started when some ignorant seafaring
man saw nothing less than manatee
dispOrting himself through the distant
waves. At some distance, the scienti'
fic periodical observes, the manatee or

man being, the shape of its head anu
