The tlury in finances has about
spent its force, ana business generally
is about normal.
It was predicted during the sum
mer that if we should have a late
frosi, the coitmi crop would tie ALL
right. The Lord lias answered the
prayers of his ehildren.
It is hard, indeed, to understand
why ci tl n si..-.. d have m-chm-d in
price just as soon as the Government
issued its last gin report, the
said report showing avast shortage,
compared to last year.
Just as we were about to close the
forms for this paper, we are in receipt
of a letter from Mon. J \V. Moore, of
Itlacktish township, in which we are
authorized to announce that lie is a
candidate for re-election to the office
of Representative, and his announce
ment appears in tiie proper column.
We will prepare a more extended no
tice of his candidacy for next week's
issue.
The Times is not an advocate of
higher taxes, bv any means. Rut we
would like to see equitable taxation,
and the country isfar behind the times
on this problem. There is lms of talk
that we are now bidng tax.-d todeath.
We don't seem to know when we art
well otY. We d, n't pay any taxes at
all. comparatively speaking. Think of
itl Citizens of Memphis pay $l.f>7 on
tlie hundred, while we pay the puny
little insignificant sum of l’oc to ;;oc!
and then kick about it.
U.——■■■ —■■■■ '
The stringency in the money marts
which ha.- l>ecn caused by an insufti
cent volume of currency to satisfy the
great and perfectly wonderful de
mands of commercial business, is
gradually easing up, and will adjust
itself in a few days. The trouble
seems to have spent its force, but it
takes time to check the stampede, and
turn the money back into its usual
channels. We don’t remember to
have ever experienced or heard of such
a peculiar condition effecting tlie
wealth of the country. There is no
cause for alarm, however, and all that
is necessury to do is to be e *uservative
and it will adjust itself.
EXCELLENT MANAGEMENT.
The officials of our Banks
an* to he congratulated upon
their excellent management j
of these splendid institutions
during the recent, or. we
might say, the present flurry
in the finances of the country.
Our Banks have met the,
situation bravely and in a
thoroughly business - like j
manner, and are conserving
the best interests of the entire
community by a very liberal
yet conservative policy which
insures equal aecommoda
tions to all customers, and
assists to the highest degree'
| possible in the carrying on j
of the immense volume of I
business now being carried'
I on in this citv.
The situation is being ma
terially relieved by the banks
by their poliry of issuing b()
day cashier’s certificates.;
payable at maturity, or
through any clearing house
in 1 lie l niled States on de
mam 1. in denominations of si,
S_\ s*i and s]n. and these will
naturally swell the volume
'of the circulating medium,
so that all business may pro
ceed just the same as usual.
These certificates are accept
ed by all merchants, banks
or others just the same as
currency, or may be deposit
ed at their face value.
THE SOUTH TO THE RESCUE.
Business men and people generally
who have had an opportunity to note
the summary statement of bank re
sources and capital and conditions
generally, prepared and given out yes
terday by Auditor Henry, are deeply
gratified at the showing made in the
space of twelve months. The fact1
that the state banks show an increase
of 16,404,840.21, added to which is, of
course, the increase in the business
and resources of the national banks,
over which the auditor’s department
has no jurisdiction, is a decidedly
healthy showing. Coming, too, just
at this time when there is so much
gossip and speculation concerning
tlie general financial situation of the
country, it has a stimulating effect,
and shows that Mississippi is all right
and can stand whatever strain may
fie imposed by the general financial
stringency. It is well known that
me iarmers are m pood shape and
holding their grounds and their cotton
firmly and faithfully, and with the
farmers and the hanks in good shape
generally, the balance of the people
may take courage and present a smil
ing face to tile world.
j At>ove is from the Commercial Ap
peal's Mississippi bureau What is
true of Mississippi is true of even
i southern state. With her millions of |
j bales of cotton, Iht thousands >1 tons
! of sugar, her tens of thousands of
; bushels of rice, her mil ions of feet of
1 lumlier and other products, all ready
tor export, and scores of sea-going ves
sels iiov\ in every southern j *■ r t ready!
to set sail.t lie South is luff ter t han ever.
prepared to force the money marts of j
i Hu rope to disgorge their store of the I
i yellow metal upon which the trade
land prosperity of the whole world is
| based, and come to tlie relief of the
| currency famine in the Hast.
Hon. (>. C. Ludwig, the present
very efficient, painstaking and genial
secretary of state, is a candidate fur
re-election, and if the faithful, careful,
correct and prompt execution of the
duties of the office during his present
incumbency is to lx- taken into con
sideration when the taxpaying voter
is searching the lists for competent
and energetic public servants, he
should lo unanimously elected, lo
calise lie has certainly loon weighed
in the balance and found not wanting
in any of these particulars. He is well
and widely know n as a most reliable
and painstaking official, who makes
few if any mistakes. His administra
tion of the office affairs are noted for
neatness, being ai>s lutely correct,
and without exception according to
law. His rugged L ie-sty and genial
manners ha\e won him a large circle
of true friends, and The Times is
proud to l*e of that number. We ex
tend him tost wishes for success at
the primaries, and commend him to
thevottrs of St. Francis county as a
man who is in the highest degree
worthy of their eontidence and suj>
port. His record is like an opeu book
and without a blemish.

\ strong and Well Defined Sentiment
i'lttnthle to III* < muliilao
Finding Expression.
That the se\erai candidates so far
announced for ttie high and honorable
position of Chief Executive of the
gnat Commonwealth of Arkansas
have made or are making no consider
able impression upon, nor creating any
noticeable interest among, the great
mass of voters, is remarkable, and the
fact is impressing itself upon the pub
lic mind. It is very evident to ever
tlie most casual observer, that neither
Mr. Kirby, Mr. Donaghey, Mr. McFar
lane, nor Mr. I lineman, “touch the
popular chord,” and evidently some
thing is lacking in their makeup wli ch
the people, though perhaps uncon
sciously, demand. For tills or some
other reason, there is an undecurrent
in tlie sea of public sentiment demand
ing other entries, and this is finding
expression on the streets of Little
Hock and other political centers, and
through tlie public prints, and The
Times is indeed very much gratified
to 11<>r«- that this sentiment is coales
cing and centering upon one of St.
Francis county's most distinguished
and most deserving citizens, in the
person of Judge NT. W. Norton.
The Lee County Courier, edited by
Senator .1. E. Wood, himself a skilled
and most observing politician, and a
gent leman >f k>en. discerning and inf
ty mind, says:
A news item in the Arkansas Item-!
•
if y ing intelligence t<» numbers of at- '
mirers thr- ugh it ti e > ate tliat j
strong pressure is being brought in, I
bear to induce Judge Norton, of For- j
restCity to oiler for governor, with
f^ir prospects <if sumWe would
lie pleased Indeed to have the
Judge oiler for the position. There
are none in the State we would sup
port more conscientiously and ear
nestly for governor than he. lie
would make an executive of whom!
tlte whole State could be proud.
The above expresses well the senti- i
ment of all who know Judge Norton
that lie “would make an executive of j
whom the whole State could he!
proud.” Judge Norton has no politi-j
cal liasons, and his very nature and
culture and character is as high above
even the appearance of spoils as the
heavens are above the earth. With
such a man a-s Governor, there would
be no preferred factious, and right and
justice would be the ruling and con
trolling motive in the executive branch
of our State government. There
would he sane and conservative en
forcement of the law; laltor and capi
tal alike would feel secure in the en
joyment of such rights and privileges
as they are justly entitled to under
the law The people would he free
from fear of any impulsive and radical
moves on the part of the Executive,
and there would be a feeling of securi
ty among all classes.
Judge Norton is a man of the peo
ple in its true sense. He is incapable
of any character of deception. The
people can place implicit confidence in
any statement or promise that lie may
make, and his high character and re
cognized ability would be a guarantee
of a strong administration.
We have not had an expression from
Judge Norton on this subject, and we
are not able at this time to say that
’he would offer for the place, but a
strong pressure is Uing brought to
bear up n him. and we believe that
should he be made t- fee! that the
people desire his services, and that he
could be of benefit to the State by be
coming its ilosenior. he would accept
It is urged by his friends that all the
present aspirants for the office being
from the western sect ion of the State,
and the nomination depending upon a
plurality vote, that should Judge Nor
ton run, his chances would lie excep
tionally good. We would be proud to
cast our vote for him for (iovernor.
His election would mean a business
administration. It would mean that
Arkansas had recovered her senses. It
would mean the elimination of all per
sonal and political influences from the
State's business affairs, and that they
would tie conducted upon the highest
plane of business methods and integ
rity. It would in fact lie a Uxm to
A rkansas.
Hurrah for Judge N rt n' And we
hope he will permit his name to go
Ix'fore the party fur the nomination.
There is nothing so serious that it
may not have a ludlcr us side. The
funny part of the recent punicy con
dition of finances lies in absolutely the
greatest prosperity the world has
ever known.
