The farmers who refused to sell cot- ' ton for less than 12 cents were wise. The price will go up. A little paving work on Main street will save a whole lot of money in the long run, and make a better street. The first snow of the season has al ready fallen in Kansas. But it is al ways doing something out of the or dinary in Kansas. The negro problem might have been settled long ago, if those least inter ested in the problem had not tried to settle it. 0 Booker Washington’s advice to the j negro to work is all right, but his example does not carry out the idea. Booker himself does no work. ♦ h — The Birmingham News says “there are too many train robberies in Ala bama." True enough. Three or four a year ought to be a plenty. Prof. Taft says it was Elihu Root who started him on the road to the white house. But it was Teddy who landed him, and Teddy who ousted him. The price for the capture of a wolf in Alabama is S3OO, to be paid by the state. What did Roosevelt go toSouth ’ America for? Fumed Oak is Fashionable The soft brown color of Fumed Oak im parts a warm, hospitable air to a room that is not equaled by any other color scheme. The browns blend with almost any other color in your furnishings, and :he wood finish ed this way is most easily kept clean. For these reasons Fumed Oak isjdestined to a lasting popularity that makes the buying of it safe and economical. Our new fall pieces for dining room* and living room are especially charming. A. L. CROUCH YOUR CREDIT IS GOOPS VIOLATED HIS PAROLE. L. W. Higgins, a federal prisoner in Kansas, who had been paroled, is again in prison, and may have to re main there for the remainder of his term of eight years. He just did what any other man । who had a drop of red blood in him i would do He had been at work since I he had been paroled, and was said to hate been a hard working man. He was convicted of forgery on circum , s tantial evidence, denying his guilt, i and was finally paroled. Returning to his boarding house j one afternoon last week, tired and I disconsolate, wishing with all his ! heart that he could return to his wife and baby at Fort Smith, and yet loyal to the terms of his parole, which pro vided he should not leave the state, he was handed a message from his wife I I which said, “The baby is dying, come at once.” He was told that a train would leave in just ten minutes. He had no timd to get the permission of the j prison officials, even if they would grant it, but he never waited to ask ■ them. He got on the train and went to Fort Smith. Arriving there, he went first to his . wife and baby. Then he went to the ' local officials and told them he had violated his parole, and turned over to them his parole papers. They conferred with the Kansas prison authorities, and they advised the Fort Smith authorities to arrest him and return hint to prison. I In kindness, almost akin to rever i ence, they delayed taking him until he had spent another night with his dying child. When they came for him the next morning, he pressed one long, linger ing kiss on the tender lips of his baby and told the officers who had come for him he was ready to go. Ready to go back to a dungeon, to 1 the dark cell if need be and feed on t bread and water; he had seen his lit tle baby, and that was enough. He had stood with his wife around the • cot of the little fellow and comforted her with brave words, and there was no terror in a prison for him. The baby did not die, and it was i said the little fellow will recower. But Higgins thought it would die, and he was ready to sacrifice his free ! dom and surrender his parole rather than never see his baby again If that us the characteristics of a । criminal, then commend us to the j criminal. But we do know, and we know for may be guilty of, if any. He may have forged a check or a note or some other sort of instrument, and he may have done it in order to get bread I for that same baby. Who knows? ' Some mighty good men have done the like. But do we know, and we know for ! sure, that a man who would take that sort of chances in order to comfort ja dcspa .: ..;>d kiss a dying' i baby does not *'e!ong :r a prison. I | There is no sentimentality about) I that sort of a proposition. No criminal would care if the baby died, or if the woman suffered alone, and surely no criminal would care en ough to sacrifice his own liberty and go back to a prison in order to help them in trouble. A man who sincerely loves his wife and children cannot by any sort of means be a criminal. He may do that which the law says he shall not do, but he is not a criminal at heart. When we get prison reform in this 1 country, men like Higgins will not be kept in prison in the first place, and . if by any means they happen to get ' in prison, they will be very promptly j and speedily transferred to some other j place, or given a parole without con ' dition, except that they do not again 1 violate the law. Higgins ought to be given an ab solute pardon, and sent back home to ; make a living for the wife and baby,l j who are havin a hard struggle | against heavy odds. MRS. PANE HIRST FREE. | ■ The English suffragette. Mrs. Em maline l'ankhuist, has been allowed |to enter the Unit'd Sj'.u.i ’y order of the president. President Wilson is seldom wrong , in his conclusions, but we believe he I has allowed his sympathy for the suf -5 fragist movement to lead him astray j in this matter. The appearance of Mrs. Pankhurst ’ ( can have but one effect in this coun < try, and that to arouse the emotions ■of her kind in this country. Her com ; ing here can do no possible good, and । all she will gain by it will be the ad ’ mission fees that are paid for her ' lectures. j She and her cause belong to Eng . land and not to the United States. । She has committed crime in the other country, and is responsible for considerable turmoil and trouble in ' England. i It is to be regretted that Mrs. . Pankhurst is to be allowed to scatter , her dogmas and preach her doctrine of destruction in this country. • ] u By the time the next season's cot ton is ready let us hope there will be a bridge across White river here, and the cotton that ought to come to Batesville will get here. Start a crusade against the rats in r Batesville, and lets exterminate these expensive pests. There is no telling i how much they destroy in the course ' of a year. • Mrs. Pankhurst says if she is de ■ ported “the ship which carries her • hack to England will carry her back dead.” Guess that will l»e good news I to the people of England. The fact that the statement of for mer Ambassador Wilson, in which he seeks to discredit Secretary Bryan, pleases Huerta, is sufficient to dis credit the statement of Mr. Wilson. Mrs. Pankhurst intimates she will starve herself to death on board the ship that carries her back to England. That will be a good idea, and will save funeral expenses. More than 5,000 people paid admis sion into the Craighead county fair in a single day. Independence coun ty is a better stock county and a bet ter agricultural county than Craig head. and yet we have no fair. The business men of Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Fort Smith are consid ering the proposition of working to petition for saloons. It will be a rather heavy loss of revenue in these cities, if the saloon license is not collected any more. L. W. Higgins, a paroled convict in Kansas, violated the terms of his parole, which provided he should not leave that state. He came to Arkan sas to kiss his dying baby. That ought not to be a violation of any sort of parole. He ought to be par doned. Tickling in the throat, hoarseness, loss of voice, indicate the need of Ballard's Horehound Syrup.

HELPLESS AS BABY - ■ — Dowa in Mind Unable to Work, and What Helped Her. Summit Point, W. Va.—Mts. Anna Belle Einey, of this place, says: “1 suf fered for 1S years with an awful pain in my right side, caused from womanly trouble, and doclpred lots for it, but with out success. I suffered so very much, that 1 became down in mind, and as help less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind of shape. Was unable to do any work. 1 began taking Cardui, the woman's tonic, and got relief from the very first dose. By tne time I had taken 12 bot tles, my health was completely restored. I am now 48 years years old, out teel as good as I did when only 16. Cardui certainly saved me from losing my mind, and I feel it my duty to speak in its favor. I wish I had some power □ver poor, suffering women, and could make them know the good it would do them.” If you suffer from any of the ailments peculiar to women, it will certainly be worth your while to give Cardui a trial. It has been helping weak women for more than 50 years, and will help you, 100. ; Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it. Wriu tr Chattanooga Medicine Co., Ladies' Advisory Dept . Chattanoo,a.
