RONDSMEN HOLD MEETING
Oppose Action of County Judge in
 Case of Former Sheriff.

Texarkana, July 13.-BOndsmen of former Sheriff A. J. Gurley held a meeting at the courthouse yesterday afternoon to consider what course to pursue relative to the alleged short age in the accounts of MT. Gurley while he was sheriff of Miller county. A recent audit of the county's books is said to have revealed a shortage of about SS5,0O0 during the four years he was in office, from 1917 to 1921. The accuracy of this audit is challeng- ed, however, by Mir. Gurley and his friends.
 Tuesday County Judge Nolan made an order calling on Gurley and his bondsmen to make good the sum or s36,5OO, represented in one Of the two suits filed against them in the county court. The other suit has not been tried yet.
 The conference of the bondsmen was behind closed doors and no details were given out. It is said, however, that the bondsmen regard the course of County Judge Nolan as arbitrary and unfair. and it is reported that they will vigorously oppose his reelection ir the coming August primaries. The bondsmen declare that if real short age is found to exist that they stand ready to make it good; but they insist m a full and thorough investigation of the audit before concluding that any default has. been made.

Candidate Brings Suit
 Against Ku Klux Klan

Little Rock, July 14.-Filing of the suit here late today by c. c. Hughes, a candidate for the democratic nomi- nation for sheriff, against the Ku Klux Klan, to prevent an elimination con- test among the Klan candidates for the sheriff's nomination, caused sen- sation. MT. Hughes declared he would have to violate the democratic prim- ary pledge if he became the klan's candidate, and therefore he wanted the proposed contest prohibited.
 His suit apparently was filed too late. however, as it is understood that election blanks were put in the mails to all Klan members last night. The suit is set for next Wednesday.
 MT. Hughes, at present chief deputy, has been considered the strongest candidate in the sheriff's race.
 There were many reports current this afternoon. One was to the effect that he would be busted from the Klan and receive no Klan votes. Oth- CTS were to the effect that Anti-Klan forces also would fight him as a re- suit of his admission, that he was a Klan member.
 It is understood that the Klan will have a virtually complete ticket in the field in the prim4ry. Anti-Klan forces also expect to show their strength, it is said. The Klan also is entering into state politics quite actively.

Saved on Patches
 and Sampling of Cotton

oSuoh, Juiy 1I.- Hat ldy give to the members of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Association as well as the non-members a little idea of the saying of money by being a member of the Cotton Association, l call your attention to a few items The average cotton sold on the streets is sampled from two to dozen times, all of which is done before the cotton is sold and at the expense of the sell er
 The Association will only take one sample, one from each side of the bale and these samples will be preserved | by the Association, sold and the pro- ceeds placed to it's credit. The sam pie retained and sold by the Associa- tion will amount to at least one bale to every one thousand bales and if it sells two hundred thousand bales dur ing the coming season it will be Association averaging five hundred pounds to the bale and at twenty cents per pound will total $20,0O0.
 Another saving I call your attention to and that is the patches placed on the cotton by the Association and the cotton saved by having only one sam pie drawn will be an additional sav- ing and an average of nine pounds to the bale will be gained in weight for the grower, multiply nine pounds by two hundred thousand and you will have one million eight hundred thous~ and pounds and at twenty cents per pound saving of $360,0O0. Another item and that is the cotton sold by the Association will eliminate the aver age middle man and speculator and it will not be denied but that this will -save for the member from $500 to f$2O.00 on each bale sold so we will leverage a saving on this item of at least $1OOO per bale and if the Asso- citation sells two hundred thousand bales this alone will be saving of at least $2,O0O,OO0 or grand total on these three items of $2,380.00.
 This is by no means the only saw ing but I simply call your attention to these however, that you may have an idea of the good to be accomplish ed by belonging to the Gotten Associa- ton. Who is entitled to this extra money, the cCton growers or the spectators? Don't you think it is about time the cotton raiser should have some consideration in these extra profits? Think of it, more thar S11 coco saved to the members ot the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooper , ative Association in only three items in short period of five years.
 If all the cotton growers of the stat; were members of the Cotton Associa
 tion it would mean more than eigh hundred thousand bales instead of two hundred thousand sold by the Associ
 ation and figuring the amount saved on this DaSlS compared Wltn lHe HS
 ures above mentioned it will be { profit to the cotton raiser of the stat each year of s9,52O,OO0 and for a per iod of five years $47,6OO,OOO and thi is only on the three items above men
 toned.
 Will the cotton growers longer pro , crastinate? Will he sit idly by ant i1et the speculator profit by his mis takes? I am glad to know that tha

D. A. COOK ACQUITTED
 BY JURY SATURDAY
Case Went to Jury Friday Night at 10 O'clock, Verdict Returned Sat. urday P. M.

D. A. Cook, formerly the president of the Bank of Foreman, was acuuit- ted by verdict of the jury Saturday afternoon. The arguments were com pleted by the attorneys Friday night at 10 o'clock and the case was placed in the hands of the jury. They de- liberated for thirty minutes without arriving at verdict and were allow ed to retire for the night A member of the jury stated that immediately on entering the jury room a vote was talk en to see how they stood before any discussion was opened. The first vote was for acQuittal and for convic- tions. The deliberations were resum- ed on Saturday morning and continu- cd until verdict was reached in the afternoon about 2:3O or 800. D. A. Cook was being tried on charge of accepting funds for an insolvent bank.
 The interest in the trial of this case was intense at all times, and Saturday night when the arguments of the at- torneys was made, a great crowd was present, and waited for thirty minutes while the jury was deliberating. The case was opened. by the state by June R. Morrell, who spoke for thirty min- utes. Ben Shaver opened fdf the de- fense and spoke for twenty minutes. He was followed by J. D. Head and A. D. DuLaney for the defense, each talk ing twenty minutes. Geo. R. Steel, prosecuting attorney. closed the argu- ment iii a masterly argument to offset the brilliant and powerful arguments of the attorneys on the defense. It was one of the hardest fought legal battles in the history of this court.
 The verdict seemed to be popular verdict. The defendant had been a leading citizen of the county for ten years and had a great many friends. Many believed that he had fought to the end to save the bank through the
 
 never had a criminal intent.
 The defense showed by R. M. Bone, A. E. Waters, H. l.. Poland, Frank Horner and Frank Williams, who had examined the banks paper, that they did not believe the bank insolvent. Cook testified in his own behalf and freely answered all questions He did not believe the bank insolvent at any time nor thatAs much as $20.0OO of it's paper uncollectable had the bank continued. He said that his $11.OOO indebtedness was secured by $2S,OOO of lien notes on land worth the money He said that the bank commissioner had assessed him 100 per cent of his stock and that he had given to them a deed of trust on his equity in all these lands. He held nothing back.
 Fred Can't, former cashier is under a similar indictment. This case is not likely to be tried at this term of cour' for lack of time The state has made no statement of what disposition it will make in this case.

NEW EFFORTS TO
 END SHOP STRIKE
Series of Conferences Is Resumed by the Labor B0ard-Uni0n
 Demands Stated,

Chicago, July 17.-Peace negotia- tions, halted over the weekend, were resumed by members of the Railroad Labor Board today in an effort to bring about an early settlement of the railway shopmen's strike.
 Presidents " H. Finley of the Chi cago and Northwestern and W. G. Bierd of the Chicago and Alton visited the offices of the Labor Board today for conferences with Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the board, while W. L. McMenimen, labor member of the board, met several high operating ex- ecutives.
 It was intimated that some basis for agreement on the five demands presented by B. Nj. Jewell, leader of the shopmen, to Mir Hooper last week, was sought as preliminary &o the calling of new hearing of all parties before the Labor Board.
 The five demands of the shopmen were announced as the restoration of seniority rights to strikers establish ment of a national adjustment board so that the men may abtain quicker action On grievances than is possible through the Labor Board, abolish ment of outside contracting by the roads, restoration of certain rules and working agreements, and return to the scale of wages in effect before the cut ordered by the Labor Board for July l.
 Hopeful Indications. An indication of the result of the negotiations was seen in the state ment Saturday night of R. A. Hen ming, general chairman of the feder ated shop crafts of the Northwest, that only the refusal of the Eastern roads to reinstate striking workers with their seniority rights was pre- venting a settlement as far as the roads of the roads of the Northwest were concerned.

Vacation Is Over

Again the school bell rings at morn
ing and at noon; again with tens of
thousands the hardest kind of work
has begun, the renewal OF which is
a mental and physical strain to all
except the most rugged.
The little girl that a short time ago
had roses in her cheeks, and the lit
tie boy whose lips were then so red
you would have insisted that they had
been" kissed by strawberries, have
'l~oady lost something Of the appear
ance OF health.
Now is the time when many chill.
dren should be given a tonic, which
may prevent much serious trouble. No
other is so highly recommended as
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which strength
ems the nerves perfects digestion and
assimilation. 1t aids mental develop
ment by building up the whole sys-
tenn.
Equally good as a medicinal pre-
ne Hoods Pt1s. which kionpara
paration are Hoods Pills, which are
so well adapted for both children
and adults. In small doses they are
gentle laxative, in larger doses an
active cathartic.
