Williams Cites Results of Soil Build ing in Carolina as Model Worthy
 of Following.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Each member of the Arkansas party visiting Georgia and the Carolinas has returned telling wonderful stories of crop yields in those states. Each claiming, as told to them. that these yields were obtained on soil once con- sidered worn out" That smoke is an indication of fire" is proven in this case.
 The year book of the United States department of agriculture states that the average yield of cotton in North Carolina in 1870 and 1880 was 167 pounds of lint per acre. In 1910 and 1919, the figures show that the aver age yield was 254 pounds of line per acre.
 By way of comparison, the figures given for Arkansas are 213 pounds of line cotton per acre in 1970-1880 and 183 pounds in 1910-1919.
 None of us have to refer to the year book of the department of agriculture to know that our farms in Faulkner county are not producing as much pel acre as they did few decades ago Furthermore we realize that practi. cally all the good farming land has been cleared, and if it were not, those who have had experience in building hcmes in the forest and clearing ur fields know it is not job to be light ly considered.

LOCAL MARKET IS
 CONSIDERABLY LOWER

Although the New York and New Orleans futures markets closed today practically unchanged, after recover ing from a half-cent slump following the publication of the government con- dition report, the Conway market is considerably lower today than Satur- day
 Prices today were averaging close to cent pound lower on practically all grades than was paid Saturday. The bulk of sales made here today was around 21 cents. although a few specially good bales brought as high as 23 cents. Some sales as low as 20 1-4 cents were reported.
 New York December contracts closed two points net down at 21 .23 cents, while January closed six points up at 2098 cents. New Orleans De cembers closed at 20.45 cents, up three points, and January was b points up at 20.40 cents. Spots in New York were unchanged at 2425 cents and were 50 points lower in New Orleans at 2250 cents.
 The holding movement upon the part of farmers in this territory is begin ming to be quite perceptibIe here. Re ceipts are running comparatively light, when the excellent weather for picking is taken into consideration, and there is quite a considerable portion of that which is brought to the streets being held by the owners. It is probable that still larger percentage is being held on the farms and at gins.

COMMONER ATTACKS
LADY ASTOR'S DIVORCE
Accuses Her of Posing as a Widow
When Her First Husband
is Alive.

London. Nav 6.--Horatio Bottomley
created both a political and social ann-
Sation today when, in a startling and
Scathing front page article in his publi-
cation. John Bull, he accused Lady
Nancy AStor Of being q hypocrite Of
the first water in having opposed with
ewes upturncd TO heaven and in unctuous
tones, any tampcring with the sanctity
Of the marriage VOW during the recent
debate in Commons on a bill providing
for easier divorce.
Bottomlcy claims that he consulted
many members of Parliament before
making the attack on Lady Astor, and
that they were unanimous in approving
his contemplated step.
The John Bull" article asserts that
Lady Astor was divorced from Robert
Gould Shaw, in Virginia, in 1903 on
grounds OF desertion. the whole case be
ing rushed through with the utmost Sc
crecy. Bottomley then sets forth that
Shaw is still alive in America, although
Britishers believed Lady Astor to be
widow.
and this is the honorable and noble
lady. i peeress by marriage, who comes
into the British House Of Commons and
dares to sermonize against slackening
our divorce laws" Bottomlev's article
declares
Lady Astor. as the protagonist Of
the great experiment OF female repre-
sentation IN Parliament, has dismally
failed
Bottomley points out that Lady Astor
opposed prolonged Separation as being
grounds for divorce. thus denying others
the liberty she found so easy and con-
venient, and accuses her of deliberately
fooling the English people by describing
herself in. Burke's Peerage and Who's
Who, as the widow Of Shaw
Now We know that her earnest plead
Ing and her emotion in Commons were
mere camouhage," BottoInley continues
Many members who were Influenced,
being ignorant OF her collusive divorce,
are now indignant over her rank hypocrisy
and cant
The article created a distinct sensa-
ton IN Commons Some of the members
expressed themselves as greatly shocked
by the revelations of BottOmley. and
said they expected Lady Astor to make
some explanation. When Lady Nancy ap-
peared on the floor this afternoon, how
ever. and took her seat only short dis
tance from that of Bottomley, she was
roundly cheered
Bottomlev demands to know what
right Lady Astor has TO pose a. a widow.
