Joint rates for transportation of ar
ticles between points in Arkansas by
two or more express companies shall
be made by adding together the regu-
lar mileage rates herein prescribed for
application to and from points of inter-

deducting from the sum thus obtained
ten QG) per cent of such sum, provided
That when special rate to or from

Attorney General Davis has givel
out an opinion declaring that the road
tax voted upon at the election of Sep
TENDER 3 carried in all counties in
which it received majority of the
votes cast. The question to be deter
mined is whether it requires a MAORI
ty of all the electors in county to car
ry road tax or majority of those vot-
ing. In his opinion the attorney gem
eral says: where a statute REQUIRES
question to be decided, or an officer
to be chosen, by the vote of the ma ior-
itv of the voters of a county, this does
not require that a majority of all per-
sons in the county entitled to vote
shall actually vote affirmatively, but
only that the result shall be decided by
a majority of the votes cast. The vot-
ers of the county referred to by all
such statutes are necessarily the voters
who vote at that election, since the re-
suit in each case must be determined
by count of the ballots cast, and not
by an inquiry as to the number not
asst"

The Har.ele.. Nightmare.

dream last night 1t seemed that had sud-
denly been deprived somehow of the power
to move. All my limbs were paralyzed, and
lay right in the path of an automobile that
! could see coming toward me at a terrible
rate of speed, with the lamps at the sides
blazing ike the two eyes Of some terrible
monster. Nearer and nearer it came, and /,
in fearful agony, tried to drag myself out
of the way, but was unable to move. l
tried to cry out, so that the man who was
running the automobile might either stop
or turn aside and avoid running over me, but
could not make sound. On, on it came,
as if imbued with life and in fury Of frenzy:

CHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Grove
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine it you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-is
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold

killed by the cars at point on the
Fort Smith road about seven miles

a quarry few hundred yards from the
main track, to which runs a short spur.
Laborers were loading some fat ears
with stone, when one of the cars got
loose and started down the steep in
cline toward the main line. Mr. Han
ger jumped on one of the cars and
tried to set the brake. Just as he got
hold of the brake tie cars collided
with two others on the track, the jar
causing Hanger to loose his hold and
he was pitched head first onto the
track. Three loaded cars passed over
his body and death was instantaneous
