SAYS COTTON WILL
 SELL BETTER SOON

An optimistic view of the situation in the cotton indus try is taken by D. c. Welty of Little Rock, vice president of and general manager of the Arkansas division of the Am erican Cotton Association, who believes that the period of declines in the futures mar ket and consequent low price for spot cotton has about run it's course. He takes this view, he says, because the movement to hold cotton off the market has become gener- al throughout the south and because buyers for mills are in need of large amounts of the staple to meet their needs and soon must enter the mar ket.

The Civil suit now follows, it being alleged in the complaint that by reas- on of the fact that Rider was the agent of Barnett Bros. Mercantile Company and I. N. and c, A. Barnett, they were jointly liable in a civil action with him.

GINNING PRICE REDUCED

Beginning October 15, the Newark Gin Go. will gin cot ton at the old price of 30 cents per hundred and $2.00 for bae ]. ging and ties. The present prices of cotton do not justify our charging more. We are all farmers together, and we appreciate and realize the con ditions which farmers are facing. We are making this reduction in face of the fact that wood, coal and labor is costing us more this year than any previous ginning season.

LON FATHERS WIDOW
 ASKS BIC DAMAGES
Files Suit in Circuit Court Against Oliver Rider and
 Barnett Bros. Go.

Mrs. Mary Hatler, admins tratrix of the estate of Lon Hatler, deceased, through her attorneys, ". M. Thompson of Batesville, and ". P. Smith and Lester L. Gibson of Wal nut Ridge has brought suit in the Independence Circuit Court against Oliver A. Rider Barnett Bros. Mercantile Company and I. N. and c. A. Barnett in the sum of $35, ,000.- % damages for the unlawful killing of her husband.
 Some time in March, 1919, it is alleged in the complaint, Rider while in the employ of Barnett Brothers Mercantile Company, and 1. N. Barnett and C. A. Barnett, in the op- eration of a large farm in Black River township, wilfully wantonly and unlaWfully shot and killed Lon Hatler.
 The killing grew out of 2 disagreement between Rider and Halter over 3 meadow which Hatler had soWn= on the farm owned by the Barnetts, and was the cause of consid- erable excitement at the time. HatleI's body, after the killing was weighted down with a mower wheel, and thrown into Black River. It was found the next day and J. ". Farr who was the only eyewitness to the killing, confessed that he had witnessed the killing. Rider was arrested and lodged in jail. He was tried at the 1919 Spring term of the Inde- pendence Circuit Court and convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to q

ABANDON ROAD WORK

The commissioners of the NeWark-Cord Road District composed of G. M. Fields, P. $. Fortune and w. J. Herrinc- ton, held a meeting here last Friday, and decide to abandon the work of building the road.
 Opposition to payment of the assessments made by th commissioners is given as the cause for abandoning the pro- posed improvement.
 The road is badly needed but 1t seems that the commits sioners were unable to build it with an assessment that would meet with the approval of the tax payers of the dis trict.

JACKSON COUNTY MAN
 MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT
Homer Etheridge Shot by Un- known Parties Near
 Swifton Wednesday

Homer Ethridge, living at the home of his brother, Will Ethridge, about one and one- half miles from SWifton, was shot and killed early Wednes- day morning by some un- known party while the young man was still in his room. The assassin used a shotgun, and immediately after the shoot ing was seen running through the cotton field near the house.
 Ethridge had just recently moved to the home of his brother to pick cotton this fall and little was known of his habits. He had retired as usual the night before and between 3 and 4 o'clock the shot was heard by members of the family. Upon entering the young mans room he was found to be mortally wound ed.
 Reports from members of the family say that a man was seen leaving the vicinity through the fields nearby.

SAVE THE COTTON CROP

The Journal is glad to note that there is no evidences of the foolish Night Rider" out break in Independence county Our farmers, it is true, are disappointed over the slump in cotton prices, but they know that it would be foolish to countenance this lawless ef- fort that is being made in some sections by a few laWless and minimizing men to pre- vent the gathering and gin- ming of the cotton crop.
 The sensible thing to do is to gather the cotton crop as rapidly as it can be gathered. Save every bit of it as fast as it can be saved. Then il the price is too low, haul the cot ton home from the gin, place it under a shed and hold 1t uu- til the price gets better.
 If farmers all over the Sou- tn will do this, the price of cotton will advance.
 But the point The Journal would stress, is save the cot ton while the weather is good and while the cotton will make a good sample.
 The farmers as a rule should be in better position than usu- al to hold their cotton and 1t is far better to pick and gin it and haul it home than it is to  leave it in the fields to dam age from the weather.
 This outbreak of lawless- ness should be curbed at once. as 1t is a most dangerous movement that will hurt ev- erybody. And it will hurt, most of all, the farmer who needs it and lets his cotton stand in the field, unpicked, exposed to the wet weather that is sure to come a little iater in the season.
 Save the cotton!

Chief Deputy Of the
County Attorney
Handy Man In House

Raymond T. Cofey, chief deputy
to the county attorney, has a hobby
of making all sorts of things at
home. He is handy man around
the house. When anything is to be
his wife tells Raymond and
he does the job up fine.
Raymond's father was a black
smith while Raymond was a small
boy, and he let Raymond putter
around the blacksmith shop. That's
where the chief deputy county at
torney acquired his skill as an arti-
san. Later his father established
an implement business at Green
field, Ia, which is today the largest
retail implement business in the
United States.
Recently Raymond's young son
decided he wanted an automobile.
Instead of paying $o5 for one in the
stores. Raymond just went down in
the cellar and made the "automo-
bile" out Of few boards and tin
spare tire rack and everything and
is the envy of all the boys in the
neighborhood. About 27 boys have
asked the chief deputy county attor-
ney to make them all automobile.
Another of the masterpieces Of
the chief deputy is a mahogany
lamp, which he turned out on his
lathe! 1t, also. is a masterpiece.

1t Sounds Good AS Described by the Representative

The objectionable sin in a poker

Certainly. the local gamblers had
no objection. Maybe it was some
more easy money.
The stranger kept up a running
patter of screen plays, Washing
ton, New York, prohibition. ETC.,
and finally drifted to insurance.
"You say you are selling poker

blers, as he tossed his cards in the
center OF the table.

"'Y'r honor, I'd rather not tell ye,

But I didn't feel conspicuous and

Judge Goss was appointed to fill
the unexpired term of Judge Day
who was appointed to take the place
OF the late Justice Sedwick OF the

His first case was a $4,000 damage
suit against the Union Pacific rail-
road brought by Joe Thomas, ad-
ministrator of the estate of Tony
Varne who was killed at the Union
Pacific shops, November %, 1916.
Judge Goss has been lawyer in
