 MAKES DENIAL
DEFEATED CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY JUDGE ANSWERS SOME OF THE CHARGES THAT WERE MADE AGAINST HIM.

W. C. Hutton, defected candidate for County Judge, issued the follow ing statement:
 s'Now that the Democratic pri- maries are over, I think it proper for me to answer some of the malicious and false statements circulated about me during and just preceding the election.
 ''I did not answer them at the time because I knew that my lifelong friends, or anyone else who knew me, could not possibly think that such malicious statements were true.
 ''I want now to emphatically deny that any candidate or candidates were put in the race for county judge by me to take or add to my support or that of any candidate.
 ''The statement that furniture was removed from the county courthouse my office was false and malicious. The stenographers at my headquar- ters were paid for their services by me. No prisoners cleaned up the building I occupied and I paid for all work lone by laborers. The fur niture used was rented from local firms and has been paid for by me.
 ''The temporary use of an alice in the courthouse was allowed to me while acting as chairman of the Pu- laski county Liberty Loan Committee, chairman of the War Savings Stamp Committee, for Red Cross work and while acting superintendent for Ar kansas of the American Protective League, all positions of public trust and paying no salaries and was for the benefit of all loyal Americans. These charges were so cheap and con- temptible that I felt no need of de- nying them.
 Certain false and malicious state ments were also used against me re- garding Juvenile Court cases, Hotel Belmont and the clandestine sale of liquor. Anyone who knows me or has ever had any dealings with me in my life will know that I would never stoop to such low-down acts. The false charges were SC preposterous that did not even answer them. l expect to try and trace these state ments to the original scandal mon- gels and l will prosecute the par ties that circulated same.
 "As stated before, I am deeply grateful to those who supported me in this and other races. I want my friends to know that in accepting the results of the recent election, l do SO ,with gratefulness to those who voted and worked for my election.
 'The misrepresentaions and abso- lute falsehoods repeated about me will, I believe, hit back upon those who are responsible for them. No crime is comparable in its odiousness to the one that defames the character of an honorable man."

 The Board of Commerce is plac- ing extra large windows in their building on the third floor for Man. get Bros. Co, which will give them a most excellent cotton sample room.
 o. o. Scroggin of Little Rock and J. J. Scroggin of Morrilton are mak- ing an overland trip through South Arkansas, East and Central Texas in- specting the cotton crop situation.

Hester's of the New Orleans Cot ton Exchange annual report, showing an increase of 803,527 over the crop of l9l8-l8, an increase of 536,- POT over that of l9l7-l8.
 The grade of the crop waas not up to the average, in fact, 1t was the poorest in grade since that of 1913- IA, accentuating the unsatisfactory conditions incident to an overplus of undesirable description.
 The average value per bale of lint cotton was $l82.o8 against $155.14 last year, $l47,3o the year before last and $o4.82 in lol6-l7.
 The total value of the crop com pares with the previous five years as follows

 Arkansas, commercial crop for the past season was 899,000 bales, com pared with 9l4,000 the previous sea. son, l,004,000 the year before and l ,228,000 bales in 1916-I7.
 The year has been busy one for southern mills, but while the con, sumption of lint cotton has increased more than three hundred thousand bales, the total is still l40,O0 behind the l9l7-l8 aggregate. Linter con- sumption shows a further shrinkage in volume of I64,000 bales.
 Every cotton mill in the South, except two small factories, has been in operation, and the erection of new mills and enlargments of old concerns have taken fresh sart. The following number of mills have been built or are under construction dur ing the past year: Alabama, S.; Georgia, 2; North Carolina, go; South Carolina, 5; Tennessee, l.; Texas, 2; nd Virginia, 1.
 Arkansas has two mills in opera ton, and the total amount of lint cotton consumed amounted to 6,4l6,- 900 pounds during the past season against, 4,702,008 the previous year.

Frankie Kelly OF Chicago. Kelly

FARM BUREAU NEWS NOTES
Financial System Must BE Improved
for Farming.

j. r. Howard, president of the Am
orican Farm Bureau federation, in
sisted that the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN must be so amended that we as
farmers have equal opportunity and
equal benefit with the business man
from the system. | do not want to
advocate anything that is radical or
bolshevistic in theory or practice, but
| do want to say in all candor that if
we cannot so amend or reorganize our
existing financial institutions to rend-
er us that service which we as farmers
must have and which the interests of
the American people demand that we
do have, there is but one thing for us
to do and that is to organize our own
agricultural banking institutions"
Sales Tax Would Injure Farmers
Capital.
H. C. Mckenzie, chairman of the
American Farm Bureau committee on
taxation, urged the farmers of the
country to stand squarely against the
proposal to repeal the excess profits
tax and substitute a new sales tax to
make up the deficit, in the federal re-
venue.
This would operate to the disad-
vantage of the farmer. A sale tax
cf one per cent on his gross sales
would be about $3.50, O0O, 900 which
would have to be paid out of capital
because much of the farmers overturn
is without profit. hfe sales tax would
be based on gross income and would
have to be paid whether there was any
profit in the business or not.
