News reached here this morning of the horrible death which overtook Jesse Oarrnth, a prominent farmer living near Lavaca, this oonnty, late yester day afternoon. He made a visit to th city yesterday, leaving for home some time after dinner. When near bis home he stopped his team to adjust something about the harness, and getting back on his wagon, stepped np on the double tree, and bis feet slipped.

Mr. Carruth waa well and favorably known In the community In which be lived, and his untimely death has oast a shadow over All who knew him. It is one cf the most unfortunate affairs which bas ever taken plaoe In Sebastian County. Call and soe oar new stock at 21S Hain street. Chas.

Russell, being unwilling to meet him on the hustings and discuss the leading ques tions In which the people are interested. The Democrafle platform declares for revenue reform, and bears the orthodox stamp. The most signifloant feature of the coinage declaration is in tbeso words, following a little meaningless phrase juggling about "intrinsic" valuus, deemed necessary in that latitude: While we bel-re in the me both fold and a montv, and in full rmon-et of thn metal by an Inter-national agreement, we equally oppose tin free mid unlimited coinage of (diver our Ooveinineut, Independent of the action mlier uatins, aud the dangerous euaotod at Ui lam session of Congress.

Russell's splendid admiuititraiiou, which his political opponents are compelled to praise.

AVIoOROU PROTEST. COTTON BCTURS OHJECT TO Tnk CMOS COM" UtESS OHAItQRS. The Union Compress Company of this city have recently Increased their charges for compressing cotton, and a'so tor storage, whioh the cotton buyers here consider an outrage, and ag lit st wh.ch aotlon they are not alow in entering v-ry vigorous protests. The charge for compressing cotton is 13 certs per hundred, which Is 8 cents higher than the price asked by any other compress In the State. List ynr was the first in which tho Union Company exacted storage charges, which wore paid by the cotton bnrer and the planter without any complaint.

This, year, however, tho company haa doubled its oharges for storage, and this, together with tho increase in the olnrgos for oom-presslne, led the aotton buyers to hold a meotlng yosterday and adopt a resolution asking a revision of the oliargns.

W. Callaway's paper 00 the "orop mortgage" was a atrong pre eentatlon of the legal nspnote of the question. He showed that a crop may be legally mortgaged, even with out A special statute validating such an notion. The courts have so held In Arkansas and Mississippi, and per baps In other States. No sane person will subject property to the chances of loss by mort-.

K9 unless compelled to do so. Mortgages, whothor on crops or realty, are not executed for araasa-roent. Necessity is generally tho bidden spring that moves hem, and Of that neoesslty, unloss we assume that man Is incapable of conducting bis own private affairs, each ind ivid-nal must be the judge. Tet men who demand that the most noedy class of farmers shall be deprlvod of the right to mortgage thoir crops, mortgage their own re alty or chattel property, or obtain money or indl. yldual endorsements from tho banks.

The man who does this would ith beat resent the proposition that ho should be deprived of this right, nut la the next breath he will doraand that from the impoverished farmer, without realty or credit, his one re. source, the crop mortgaga, shall bo taken. And why? Because tho crop mortgage Is an evil. Are not the oo'ier forms, of which he Is so quick to take advantage, also evils?

I.tTTia Rock, September 1891. Hn. as. P. We desire to state, as members of the Board of Equalisation of Pulaski Connty, that In the time allowed ns by law, we have endeavored to discharge the dntles devolving upon ns to the best of our ability.

We deem It our duty to call your attention to what be believe to be a very grave defect In our revenue law, and whic In our opinion prevents a complete and fair assessment and equalization of the real and personal property of onr oounty. This defect la the abort abort period allowed for such assessment and eqial ization; as the law now stands the Assessor of Pnlaskl Connty ia allowed no more time to make an assessment than the assessor of a connty whioh does not contain one-twentieth of the population or property and the same is also true aa to the Board of Eqnt.lt ration. In our opinion the Assessor shonld be allowed six months to make an assessment instead of three; the additional time would we beHsve admit of his making a full, fair and equitable assessment, and the labor of ihe Board of Equalization would be grea'Jy lightened thereby. We further suggest that the time allowed the Boaid of Equalisation should be fixed at six weeks Instead of two. With the changes suggested, and an efficient Assessor (suoh as we now have), an assessment just to all olti- sens oan be made, and errors, omis slons or Inequalities would be oharge able to incompetency or carelessness, instead of laok of time, as under ex istlng conditions.

We further desire to state that nothing In the foregoing report shonld be taken as a reflection upon the Assessor, who. we ere fully satis fled, Is a pains-taking official, and has dlsoharged his duty in as thorougn, iust and Impartial a manner aa the time allowed him would permit. Be spectfally submitted. c. a.
