Ralins on Read Tax Vote.

Attorney General Davis has giv- '.n out an opinion declaring that the road tax voted upon at the election ,f September 3d carried in all coun- ties in which it received majority of the votes cast. The question to be determined is whether it requires a majority of all the electors in d county to carry road tax or major ity of those voting In-his opinion the attorney general says: "Where a statute requires question to be decided, or an officer to be chosen, by the votes of majority of the voters of county, this does not re- quire that majority of all persons in the county entitled to vote shall actually vote sffirmatively, but only that the result shall be decided by ; majority of the votes cast. The voters of the county referred to by all such statutes are necessarily the voters who vote at that election, since the result in each case must be determined by a count of the ballots cast, and not by an inquiry as to the number not cast"

Compress Destroyed,

The plant of the Union Compress Company at Texarkana was totally destroyed by fire on the 18th inst. The compress was located by itself and was surrounded by tracks of the Texas and Pacific, Kansas City Southern and Cotton Belt railways, and it is believed that spark from a locomotive on one of the roads caused the fire. On the platform were 2,000 bales of cotton which was valued at $6O per bale. The plant was worth $50, 900, so the to- tai loss is $150,00O. The cotton was covered by insurance.
