MRS. JESSE WITT.

Mrs. Jesse Witt, one of the best women l have ever known, was born near Tunnell Hill, Whitefield county, Ga, in March, 1855. Having been reared in a true southern home and educated in the best public and pri- vate school of Georgia and Missouri, she was naturally a woman of cul- ture and refinement. From childhood she was a loyal member of the Meth odist church. and sweet genial Christian, whom to know was to love. In young womanhood Mrs. Witt, who was then Miss Mary Dunagan, taught music in Faulkner county. Here, at her Aunt Mary Graham's, she met Jesse Witt, who later became her hus- band, the marriage taking place in 1889, at the home of Dr. J. F. Powers, Mt Vernon, where the Rev. Mr. Head spoke the sacred words that made them man and wife. Their lives blend ed perfectly. The tender love and devotion each had for the other grew

OPEN BOIL LATEST
 IN CROPS HISTORY

Ten days later than the first open cotton boil from the 1919 crop, the first 1920 boil was brought to the Log Cabin Democrat office this morn ing by R. C. Chrouch, who is cultivat- ing the Howard James place on the Arkansas river MT Chrouch said he found the boil early this morning as he went through the field. He did not look for others. The boil was we'll open, and was found near the ground at the bottom of the stalk. All stalks in the entire field, except those ruin ied by boil weevil and blight, are well matured and almost perfect in hardi- ness and fruitage.
 Records of the first open bolls in 1S11 and 1918 are missing from the Los Cabin Democrat files. In 1919 the first open boil was reported or August by William J. Drummer and Fred Nahlen, who brought in bolls
 on the same day. In 1916 the first open boil was brought in on July 24
 which was two weeks earlier than the { first in 1915, which was reported or
 August 6. In 1914, the record fol the earliest was made when the first
 one was brought in on July 20. The
 crops of 1919 and 1920 are the latest
 on record.

CLUB MEMBERS MISS
 RIDE AT FORT SMITH

A slip in arrangements somewhere caused Faulkner county's club girls to miss an automobile ride at Fort Smith Monday, according to the Southwest American. Miss Margaret Boles, president of the federated wo- mems clubs of Ft. Smith, and a pacty in automobiles spent Monday after noon vainly trying to find the dele gation. The Fort Smith ladies plan ned for the ride after Miss Ella Pcsey had notified the Business Mems Club that the delegation would spend Mon day afternoon in Fort Smith, but were unsuccessful in their search al though Miss Posey and nine gi1ls left Monday morning with the inten- tion of stopping in Fort Smith be- fore going to Fayetteville Monday night.

 We wish through your paper to thank our many friends of this con- munity and elsewhere for their kind ness and help and sympathy since the loss of our home and part of the contents by fire December 27, 1919 No doubt you people will say we are late in extending our thanks. This Is true, but we can assure you that 1t was not for lack of appreciation and thankfulness that caused our neg ligence.
 May Gods richest blessings ever be with you all is our sincere desire.

with the fleeting years. Theirs was an ideal life-a happy Christian home. For twenty-five years they lived here In Conway where they will always be remembered as ideal neighbors and true friends.
 In 1913 MT. and Mrs. Witt moved to Pulaski Heights, Little Rock, where the evening of her life was spent. Though her strength had been failing for several months, the end came un- expectedly. Without suffering and without fear, on Thursday morning, August ,, she quietly passed away. Friday her remains were laid to rest in Oak Grove cemetery, at Conway. where Rev. c. J. Greene, in conduct ing the funeral, assured her loved ones that death for the true Chris tian-and such was Mrs. Witt-was only a transplanting to our eternal home.
 Mrs. Witt is survived by her hus- band, Mir. Jesse Witt, of Little Rock, three step children, Mrs. Harry Speck, of Little Rock, and Ed and Emett Witt, of Conway, to whom she was a mother; one brother, George w. Duna- gan; two sisters, Mrs. William Ed wards and Mrs. J. J. Dunagan of Georgia, and many, many friends.

PESTS RUIN CROP
 ON RIVER FARMS

Two big stalks of cotton, one af- fected by blight or rust and the sec ond ruined by boil weevil, were brought to the Log Cabin Office to- day by R. c. Chrouch, who cultivates the Howard James place on the Ark ansas river. MT. Chrouch said the field which is of 30 acres, had the best stand and the best outlook he had ever seen on the river until the pests hit it. Probably one-half of his field is affected as were the two stalks, and he said other fields in the section are affected in the same way.
 The stalk ruined by blight was big and hardy, and it's fruitage promising, with large blooms and plenty of them. When the blight came up through the tap root and spread into all the branch es the blooms withered and snapped off. Weevils and the heavy rains ruined the second stalk Its heavy fruitage of blooms and bolls was ru- ined when the pests attacked it.
 MT Chrouch said that they had no effective way of combating the pests, which are multiplying since the recent rains. According to his estimate. one half of the promising crop on the Ark ansas river, from Palarm to Red Hill, is affected as is the 30-acre field from which the two stalks were taken.

"The political center of gravity in
the nation has shifted e to the
states that lie between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Coast. New
York Times editorial.
This opinion Is typical of an idea
which is rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There is a feeling that
"the West Is in the saddle for the
presidential nomination in 1920"
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential election has made it
a potent factor In future calculations
Moreover, the politicians know that in
case the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment does not become operative
In time for the next national election
there are, nevertheless, 16 states west
of the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add
Ing an increment Of some six million
votes, which might easily turn the cleo
tion one way or the other. Hence, the
Republican leaders of the East as well
as of the West are seriously consider
ing whether it would not be good poll
tics to take a western candidate.
1t is significant that three of the
most generally talked about presiden-
tial possibilities for 1920 come from
the Far West. They are'United States
Senators Poindexter, Borah and John
son.
; The first mentioned, about whom
considerable discussion is now center
ing, Is from the state of Washington.

and without the sanction and support
OF this great power candidates for
state or judicial Offices could not be
elected. Johnson, first as counsel for
interests opposing the railroad corpo-
ration and later as governor, waged
bitter and unremitting warfare against
! railroad domination. His final victory
was a potent factor in his election to
the senate in 1916. Johnson is a Re-
publican, but generally regarded as
one Of the radical type. He has, like
Poindexter, strongly opposed the
League of Nations.
Senator William e. Borah Of Idaho
does not differ greatly in the degree of
his achievements from the two other
westerners. Born in Wayne county,
ILL.,, BOrah was educated in the COM
mon schools of that state and at Kan
sas State University He was admit
ted to the bar in 1890 and devoted his
time to legal practice until his election
to the senate in 1907. Borah is one OF
the most active figures in the United
States senate. His efforts largely have
been directed toward the proper de-
yelopment of the great natural re
sources Of the country, especially of
the West. He is known as a progress
sive Republican, fearless in fighting
for what he believes to be right and,
like the others included in this presi-
Dental group, has opposed from the
start the League of Nations covenant.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific
Coast is long jump for national poll
tics to take. However, all precedents,
both in business and politics, seem tc
be vanishing in these days Of remark

that a Presidential candidate mus:

perior court, and attracted much fa-
vorable attention by his judicial abili-
ty. In 1908 Poindexter was elected as
a representative from the state of
Washington to the SiXty-first Congress.
He soon became known as an able, pro-

which he was elevated in 1910, he was
Staunch advocate of measures favor
ing the control and restriction Of big
corporations, especially of the rail-
roads. He sought the conservation of
all natural resources Of the country,
including water power, coal and oil

orously supported all measures of the
administration for the protection Of
American rights. He advocated throw

Mr. Poindexter believes that Bolshe-

national spirit should be strongly TAX

Should be severely punished. He is
opposed to any scheme for creating a
hybrid government of the world where
by Europe and Asia, in his opinion,
would inevitably dominate this country

BIG BATTLESHIPS.

The stay of the battle cruiser Re
nown in our waters, says the Scien-
tifc American, has raised discus
sio.. as to which are the longest
ships afoat. Of course, among mer-
chant ships the Leviathan, $50 feet
long, is the longest, with the I'm
perator and the Aquitania, each 900
feet long, of the Cunard line, COM
.ng next. Among warships, the
long st in commission today are the
Rene wn and her sister, the Repulse,
each being 789 feet. But the long
est warship constructed and soon to
go into commission, is the British
battle cruiser Hood, which is 900
feet in length and about $4,000 tons
full toad displacement. Our navy
department has designed six battle
cruisers 875 feet in length.
