SENATORIAL ASPIRANTS.
Got. Clitrkf. »n«1 Hon. J»«. K Jodm Op«>
tlin Ctinpilgn nt Searcy.
The campaign for the United States
senatorship was opened at Searcy on
the 17th inst. Ex-Gov. Clarke led off,
arguing against long continuance in
office. Of Senator Jones’ support of
the Wilson bill the speaker declared
lugar was taxed, and that the lumber
interest of Arkansas suffered by this
jneasure becoming a law. Gov. Clarke
'then referred to the senator’s opposi
tion to the ^Hatch anti-option bill,
which had passed the house and was
defeated in the senate. Senator Jones
should have voted for this measure,
and left it to the courts to determine
Its legality. The speaker referred to
Senator Jones’ bill proposing a bond
issue of $500,000,000 as being in
the interest of the bondholders. Gov.
Clarke advocated the Nicaraguan ca
nal, declaring his opponent had failed
to give it any support during his long
service in congress. On the other
hand he had opposed it on the consti
tutional objection that taxes raised
in the United States should not be ex
pended away from home; he was glad
he had at last converted the senator
to advocacy of the canal. The speaker
dwelt at length upon the senator's
record in congress. Referring to the
democratic platform declarations
against trusts and monoponies Gov.
Clarke said Senator Jones was a di
rector and stockholder in a company
created under the laws of New Jersey
for the baling of cotton by the round
lap process, reading from the testi
mony in the Collier Texas suit against
the American Cotton Company on the
point that there had been a combine
effected in the round bale interests,
including the American Cotton Compa
ny, the Standard Circular Cotton Com
pany of England and two other com
panies.
Senator Jones opened by declaring
that Gov. Clarke had failed to prove
that the American Cotton Company
was a trust. He referred to his long
service in the senate and the fact that
he had twice been placed at the head
of the national democratic committee.
If there was anything wrong with his
record he wanted the people to so de
clare, but if he had been true to his
trust he asked for their endorsement.
* “If you would make glad the hearts
of republican leaders in congress, let
»them know you repudiate me,” said
■ *thfe senator. As to his position on the
Nicaraguan canal the speaker said he
opposed the proposition to issue $1,
.10,000 in bonds to aid the enterprise,
ut was in favor of the United States
Gding and owning the canal with
out asking the consent of Great Brit
ain. As to the round-lap bale com
pany, the speaker declared that it does
not suppress competition, but pro
motes it; that it saves money for the
producer. The senator stated that
while governor, Clarae raised assess
incuts oi rauroau property ana, arter
his term expired, appeared as a rail
road attorney to secure a reduction of
the assessments. Senator Jones then
took Gov. Clarke to cask for appear
ing as the attorney of the Hudson
bank to collect $65,00u on old bonds,
against the state, the bonds being a
relic of carpet-bag days, said the sena
tor. As to the Hatch anti-option bill,
which sought to license brokers, the
senator said his position was that con
gress had no right to levy a tax ex
cept for the purpose of raising revenue.
In his rejoinder Gov. Clarke said
he had appeared in the railroad tax
case openly as an attorney. After re
tiring from office, he opened a law of
fice to practice his profession In order
to make a living for his family. He
could not get into a trust, and had to
earn some money. As a member of
the assessment board while governor
he assessed the railroad property at
what he believed was right under the
showing made at the time. Afterwards
^ khe principle of taxation as laid down
by the supreme court had enabled
him as an attorney to be instrumental
in securing a reduction for his clients.
He said his record was open to inspec
tion. He went into the details of
his connection with the Hudson bank
bond claim as attorney, having be
come associated with Hon. T. C. Mc
Rae in that capacity at the later’s so
licitation. He detailed how the bonds
had been exchanged through a state
agent, who palmed off invalid bonds
for valid ones, which the record shows.
The state debt board had said the
Hudson bank claim was a just one,
but the bonds had been destroyed.
Judge H. C. Caldwell had declared the
debt was an honest one. but that he
had no jurisdiction to compel the state
to pay it.
As to the senator’s denial that the
American Cotton Company is a trust.
Gov. Clarke said the fact was raised
that the presses were not on the mar
ket for sale, but were operated by the
company or leased, that by this method
it is possible for the company to event
ually monopolize the baling of cotton.

During a Cow,
Dairying' is something- new in this
part of t^e country. \'ery few farm
ers know of the real value of a good
cow. It is generally considered that
a cow is worth from $35 to $40. and if
she is a common scrub, she is clear
property at that price, if milk Is
worth $1 per 100 and a cow cost $40
per year to feed, and the manure pays
for the labor (but it does not), the
cow that gives 10,000 pounds of milk
per year, returns a protit of $60. A
cow giving S',000 pounds returns a
profit of $10. and one giving 4,000
pounds or less, returns nothing; labor,
and stable room about the same, be
sides the offspring from the 10,000
pound cow is worth at least $10 per
yea-r, and from the 5,000-pounds cow
probably $2. and from the scrub, noth
ing.
Counting the lifetime of a cow l't
years, the 10.000-pound cow gives a
profit of $700, the 5,000-pound cow
$1M0, and the 4,000-pound cow only
the value of her calf at birth, and the
service fees taken off that amount. I
When buying- a cow, we should use
the same judgment as we do when
buying- a horse. A small scrub horse
will sell for $30 to $00; an ordinary
farm or driving horse will sell for
$100 to $110; but if we want a good
draft horse, or a good roadster, we
pay $130 to $1200. and a good horse
will readilv s>dl for this amount, be
cause they are bred to perform the
work they are bought for. If this is
true of a horse, it is also true of a
cow.—Cor. Hoard’s Dairyman.
