ORDER IRON PIPE
 FOR TWO STREETS

Decision was taken by the city coun- cil at it's meeting last night to imme- dlately replace defective wooden mains on Prince and Scott streets and to lay iron mains for a distance of about 1900 feet. Trouble with the wood- en mains has been most frequent along portions of these two streets and to save further expense n at tempting to repair them, the council voted to make the replacement with out waiting for the formation of the new waterworks improvement district. On Prince street, the new mains will be laid from the First Methodist church east toward the business sec tion' and on Scott street the replace ment will be made from it's intersec- tion with Davis street east as far as needed.
 A factor in helping the council reach its decision was an opportunity to buy iron mains at favorable prices, The mains which the council plans to purchase have been slightly used, but are virtually as good as new,

SLUMP IN COTTON
 HITS SOUTH HARD
(By United Press)

Washington, Oct. 13-With cotton selling around 2l cents per pound. the south is facing loss of approximate ly $500, ,000 1000 on the 1920 crop, ac- cording to J. J. Brown, commissioner of agriculture for Georgia MT. Brown is in Washington to attend a conference of farmers from all sec tions of the country, under the aus pices of the national board of farm ers' organizations
 Wheat farmers in the west and middle west face a similar loss from the decline in the price of wheat, it was declared by John Trimble of Be lott, Kans., another delegate here for the national board conference.
 "It costs 38.l cents per pound to produce cotton" Commissioner Brown declared. "Weiwill lose $50 on every bale we sell at q cents. The cotton crop this fall will run II, 100000 bales, and comparatively little of 1t has been sold. If southern planters and farmers must sell at 21 cents, there will be many bankrupts in the south this fall"
 Commissioner Brown expressed his condemnation of the terrorist factions in the south, which are destroying property as protest against the price of cotton. "The action of night rid CTS who threatened to burn the cotton of farmers who sold at 21 cents does not represent the true sentiment of the south," he said. Southern plant CTS are law abiding citizens and will do the best they can under the cir cumstances, but we hope conditions will soon be more favorable"

AGAIN 
 ALSODECL|NFS

The persistent declines in the cotton market, which are proceeding with d monotony exceedingly irritating to the grower, continued today, when the near months in New York and New Orleans futures dropped 22 to 42 points, and the Conway market reach ed point where 20 cents a pound was pretty close to the top price.
 December New York closed this af- ternoon at 20.33 cents, net loss of 27 points, and January was down 42 points, closing at 1868. These figures represented slight recoveries from the lowest of the day. New Orleans De cemberand January both lost P points New Orleans spots were marked down three quarters of cent to 20.75 cents while New York spots were unchanged at 23 cents.
 While few bales of cotton were sold here today at 20 1-2 cents, the bulk of receipts brought an even 20 cents, There were several sales, how ever, at 19 and 19 1-2 cents, and one lot of three-quarter to seven-eights short cotton was sold at IS cents.
 Cottonseed also took tumble yes terday, dropping from $30 to $27 per ton. It was the first change in price here since the season opened last month. The decline. according to Manager P. F, Cleaver of the Conway oil mill, is due solely to big drop in the price of cottonseed oil Oil has been selling at Ii cents a pound this fall, he said, and is now only eight cents pound. Last fall the prlce was 20 cents a pound. A decline of one cent per pound for oil is equiva- lent to s. ton in the price of seed, MT. Cleaver stated, and the mills are absorbing part of the loss in paying even $27 for seed. Reduced prices for cottonseed meal and hulls have also been announced.
 The holding movement upon the part of the farmers in this section is becoming more and more perceptible. Dozens of wagons may be seen on the roads leading out of Conway every day, loaded with cotton being hauled back home. Many are also holding cotonseed,
 Anyone who could predict with certainty the future course of the market would of course be in a posi- tion to attain unlimited wealth, so that any forecast is mere guess. Some local buyers are inclined to be- lieve that the bottom was reached when the 20-cent level became a reah- ty. Others are of the opinion that we may see 15-cent and even lower cotton. Farmers throughout the south are unquestionably aroused over the situation, however, and if the holding movement gains in volume and the farmers stick together there is bound to come time when the vast sales of futures by the bear element will have to be filled with actual cot ton.
