SELLERS REPORTS
 ADOPTION SQUARES

John and Jaspar Sellers, who cul- tivate the w. N. Owen place on the Arkansas river, have the honor this year of producing the first squares of cotton in this county. Four squares of cotton were found in their field Monday morning and are the first re- ported to the Log Cabin Democrat. The squares comes just before the bloom, so that it will be matter of only a few days until the first bloom in the county is reported.
 The seed from which these squares came, was taken from bale of cot ton which sold by E. F. Short of Quit man last year on the Conway market for 75 cents per pound. It is of the Snowflake variety. The entire field is in an advanced stage of maturity, according to MT. Owen. Enough of the seed was bought to plant four acres, and the field is said to be one of the best in the county. The two farmers and MT. Owen are highly in hope that it will also produce the first bloom in Faulkner county this year

Easter wood to determine the ownership of a mule, the ownership of which is con- tested by R. T. Stone and Dauss liar ness, both of Mt.

Vernon for the hearing, and it was accordingly transferred to the circuit court room at the courthouse. The trial is by jury and many wit nesses are being examined.
 AS stated in court, Mir. Stone miss ed valuable mule from his premises, whereupon he examined the stock own ed by MT. Harness with the result that he claimed one of the animals as his. The issue at stake is the owner ship of the animal, which Mr. Harness declares is his property and which MT. Stone is equally positive fully meets the specifications of the mule missing from his farm.

WILL NOT CHANGE
 NAME OF NORMAL

Deciding that such an action would be in conflict with the act of 1907 creating the institution, authorities of the Arkansas State Normal School have announced that it's name will not be changed to Arkansas State College for Teachers" as was propos- ed a short time ago. The recent ad- dition of two years work to the cur riculum will make the institution real college in it's requirements for degrees, and it was felt that the name should be changed to indicate the class of work done. As it was found that the act establishing the school gives it it's present name, this could not be modi- fled without legislative action. It has been decided, however, that the cata- logue and other printed matter of the institution shall bear the words: Ar kansas State Normal School: A Standard College for Teachers"

CLEVELAND OPENS FETE
SERIES OF CHAMP IDOL S
Receipts From World Sc
ries Below Previous
Marks

CLEVELAND, Oct. 13.-Figures
on the worlds series given out here
today by John Bruce, secretary of
the National commission, show that
neither the attendance nor gate re-
ceipts at the series just ended equal
led last years. The receipts were
more than $157,000 under those of
last year Each winning players
share of the receipts will be $4,204
which compares with $4,881 received
by the winners last year, while each
losing players share is $2,387, which
compares with $3,254 received by the
losers last year.
Although several watches, medals,
automobiles, loving cups and floral
wreaths have been presented to the
winners of the worlds series by
appreciative fans, Cleveland believes
it has done little for the men who
won the championship and the city is
getting ready to let the world know
Just how it feels about the matter.
The first of a series of celebrations
will be held tonight, and it is expect
ed this will make all the previous
displays Of enthusiasm look tame an
dignified by comparison. An official
dinner, with city officials as hosts
and every one in the ''blue book" as
guests, is also planned.

TELLSOF COAL
COST PADDING
Indiana Governor, Oper-
ator Himself, Makes
Accusing Assertions

CANNELTON, Ind, Oct. 13.-
"Many operating accounts of coal
companies are padded for the pur-
pose of avoiding the federal income
tax" said Governor Goodrich in an
address before a good roads meeting
here today, in which he discussed the
orders issued by a special food COM
mission which recently fixed coal
prices for Indiana. Discussing the
assertion that Phil Penna, secretary
treasurer of the Indiana Bituminous
Operators association, that mine
owners had no intention of comply
ing with the orders of the commits
sion, Governor Goodrich said that
men in the state who before the war
were content with salaries of from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year are now
drawing from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually for managing the mines.
81 don't think that Penna or any
one else connected with the Opera
tors association wants the inside
facts laid before the people of the
state" said the governor, who is
himself a mine operator. Continuing
he said that the action of the opera
tors in defying the orders of the COM
mission had settled beyond question
the fact that neither the operators
nor any other group Of men can
safely be trusted to deal fairly with
the public when the fixing of prices
is left entirely in their own hands" !"

CORDELE REPORTS
MANY OUT OF. JOBS.

CORDELE, Oct. 13-Informatlon
reaching Cordele from those of its
former colored residents in Detroit
is to the effect that fully $4,000
colored people from the south are
walking the streets of that city now
hunting employment and practical
ly without means for getting back
to Georgia.
A negro returning recently said
he knew many who had started to
buy their own homes in Detroit on
the high pay they got during the
war. Now they were losing their
homes because they could not keep
up the payments and were actually
unable to keep something to eat and
wear supplied.
This returning Georgia negro
was sure that many a southern ne
gro had hard times ahead of him in
the coming winter. The great
slump in business has released hun
dreds of thousands of laborers and
the negroes are among those now
idle.
Many Georgia negro, he said,
who had learned to save what he
made here, has as high as $500 in
the homes the notes on which they
are not meeting now and, of course
must lose.
