Judge Duncan of Faulkner
county announced before the ell
ection that if the road tax propo-
sition was defeated he would in
crease the time of road service in
that county to ten days. Judge
Duncan said: 81 am of the opin-
ion that the farmers should not
bear all the burdens of road
working, but If the road tax is
defeated they show by their act
that they want to exempt the rail-
road company, the people OF

half the road tax is paid by those

KING EDWARD HAS HIS WAY.
Doctors Feared Danger of Opposing
His Wish as 20 Coronation.

London, July 9.-The news that the
coronation Of King Edward was to be
held before the middle of August was
published in America before it was
known here. But the London Times
and other papers this morning con-
firm the Associated Press announce
ment. From the same excellent
source the Associated Press learns
that the pressing forward Of the coro-
nation was due to the personal insist
ence OF the king. His doctors were
ct first opposed to such an early
date, but the king declined to agree
to any other plans. Until he is crown
ed, and the doctors finally realizing
that more danger was likely to arise
in opposing his majesty on this point,
they agreed to it. They now see the
king was right, and that it will be
far better for him to get through the
turmoil of the coronation as soon as
possible than to have it hanging over
him for. months. King Edward has
determined not to break up the court
at Buckingham palace until after the
coronation. He may go on board his
yacht for a few days cruise. but he
is more likely to remain in London
Till the affair is over. and then take
q prolonged holiday.

GROW +
y COTTON BECAUSE Of TIE
HEAVY RAINS.
On The WhoIe the Crop Is in Coed
Condition. enc is Dcing
Well

The following is the government
crop report for Arkansas for the past
week
Fair weather generally prevailed
during the week; light showers fell
in isolated localities. Cotton has felt
the effects Of the recent heavy rains,
causing it to mako very rapid
gIoWth, and in many instances too
much weed in sections where heavy
and continuous rains occurred the
crop is becoming grassy from lack of
cultivation, as the ground has been
too wet to work, but on the whole, the
crop is in good condition, and is do
ing we'll. No damage by insects has
been reported. Corn has improved
during the week, and a full crop is ap.
parently assured. In those localities
where considerable lodging had been
caused by the heavy rains and nigh
winds OF the preceding week, il mas
straghtened up very much, and the
damage is not as great as estimated.
Wheat threshing continues: the yield
IS, DIS u IulS, DClOW CApCNttt1Aoi1o. ~
though in some localities an average
crop OF good quality is harvested. Oat
harvesting is about completed, but
theshing has not yet begun. There
has been no improvement in the in
dicated yield. Fruit conditions are
practically unchanged. Apples con-
tinue to fall, but peaches present fair
prospects.
Winchester, Desha county; Thos.
D. Newton-The weather conditions
for the week have been favorable for
all well cultivated crops; crops On low
and level fround not we'll drained, suf-'
fered greatly and scaledd badly by
reason of the excessive rains on the
2Sth inst; corn and cotton promise
fair crops; peas are fine; all crops
are in advance of last year and better
cultivated.

IIelena, Ark, July 9-The body Of

Gayord, Of Los Angeles, Cal, was
found under a tree outside the leveee
below the city half a mile, with bull
let through his head.
On The tree was 4 mirror, which
had been used by Gaynord in aiming
The shot that ended his life, and near
his body was the weapon, a forty
four bulldog revolver.
Gayord came to Helena Monday
morning and registered at hotel as
being from Ioda, but all his clothes
bear marks of Los Angeles merchants.
In his grip at the hotel was found a
paper of the Garrick Dramatic school,
at Los Angeles, which leads to the
belief that he was a broken-down act
or, belief strengthened BY the mans
appearance.
He was sixty years old, white mus
tache, weighed one hundred ard fifty
pounds, five feet seven inches high.
He told no one here his business.
nor the whereabouts Of his friends, if
any he has.
In his pocket was a picture of a
six-year-old girl, evidently a daughter
or granddaughter Of the dead man.
The body is being kept here await
