He professed hope in Christ, at an early age joined the Baptist church and for many years was deacon of his church. He died in full triumphs of his faith. While he is numbered with the dead yet he lives in the memory of his companion hls children and grand children as a kind husband and loving parent and by us all

A feature of the proposed Nc Perrin amendment to the state con- stitution which has not been i'm pressed upon the people very clear ly is the benefit which the poorer school districts will derive from it.
 If the amendment is adopted, the legislature will doubtless levy a state school tax of three mills in. stead of two, the present constitu-
 tional limit. This it can do with. out raising the total taxes for state purposes, as the present condition of the state treasury is such tha, the tax for state general purposes can easily be reduced. The state school tax, 1t will be remembered
 is collected according to valuation and distributed according to popu- lation. Thus, the thickly settled cities and towns, where much rail road and valuable manufacturing property is located, will pay more in proportion to population than the rural districts, where land and property values are not high. With an increase of one-half from the state apportionment, many rural districts which now vote the fve-mill tax will find that with a three mill tax they can obtain a revenue equal to that they now have, thus actually reducing their taxation one mill on the dollar without reducing their funds. Those districts, however, which are not content with present con ditions and which desire to increase their educational facilities, can maintain their present hve-mill district tax or even increase 1t to seven mills, at the same time reap ing the benefit of the additional state tax. A more elastic system of self taxation could not be de- vised. The legislature will doubt less impose the three-mill state tax, but after that is done, each district can vote its own tax in any amount from seven mills down to nothing.

THE PAST WEEK IN COTTON
Commercial Appeals Weekly
 Review of Conditions.
Too Mnch Rainfall In Some Sections, But Crop in Arkansas Continues to
 Promise We'll


 Memphis, Aug I5.-The Com mercial Appeals weekly review of cotton crop conditions says that summary of the reports received this week indicates great progress in the growth and maturity of tn e cotton crop, with just such weath CT in the greater part of the terri tory covered that would conduce to the production of a bumper crop. It appears, however, that conditions in great section of the cotton region are just now hanging in the balance on account of the excessive rainfall of the past week !, which has caused heavy damage in some sections, and has contin- ued in others until the plant has attained heavy growth, while in other sections the fields are full of weeds and grass. Some reports state that with a cessation of rain immediately the biggest crops of cotton in history will be raised in the sections reporting, but con tinuance of the rains will be disas- trous. Floods are reported from Indian Territory and North Texas, which have in some instances swept away entire crops, while from South Texas comes the re- port that boil weevils are spreading and causing much damage.
 The best reports continue to come in from Tennessee and the counties reporting have every promise of exceptional crops and conditions are very favorable for the future development of the plant.
 In Mississippi the best reports come from the central portion, while rain appears to be abundant in the northeastern and southern sections of the state. Generally the reports from this state indicate an exceptionally good condition and a large crop.
 A fine crop is indicated in Ala bama, as the rains have not yet been excessive and the bolls are maturing we'll. Some sections re- port too much rain and some she'd ding after a dry spell, but this is not general.
 Cotton in Arkansas promises we'll if the fine conditions of the past week count for anythingr In the western part of the state too much rain fell, otherwise the crop is doing well.

No agitation is being made eith CT for or against the road tax in this county and it will doubtless again be voted. Sentiment in fa- vor of good roads is rapidly in- creasing ill Faulkner. At the first election at which 1t was voted upon the tax was adopted by only a scant majority, but it has steadi- ly grown in popularity until at the September, 1904, election it was carried by a majority of nearly three to one-the exact vote being ASA for to 5o4 against.

OUR .S4BBATH L4 WS.

A volume bringing together the various Sabbath laws of the states of the union has recently been compiled by Rev. R. c. Wylie, D.. D. In view of the recent discuss ion in Arkansas of these laws, the following tabulation, taken from Rev. Wylie's book by the Literary Digest. will doubtless prove of in terest to our readers. With respect to the character of Sabbath laws or the existence of such laws the author has divided the states and territories into five classes:
 "The first class is composed of those whose laws are framed accor- ding to the British model and pro- hibit on the Lord s day labor, bus iness, or work of ones ordinary calling only. This class includes Georgia, Indiana, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and South Carolina.
 'In the second class are to be placed all those whose Sabbath laws contain strong and compre- hensive prohibitory clauses forbid ding labor, business, amusements, 6shing, hunting, etc., and make Sew exceptions to the operation of the law besides works of necessity and charity. This class includes Arkansas, Connecticut, Deleware, Florida, Indian Territory, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michi- gan. Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah.
 "The third class embraces those whose prohibitory clauses are ma terially weakened by making many exception besides works of ne- cessity and charity. Some of these exceptions are here noted. Ala 5ama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tex as. Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia make an exception of railroads. New Jersey excepts Sunday trains and legal notices in Sunday newspapers. Massachu- setts and New York permit the sal of tobacco, the printing and sale of newspapers, and the latter State permits also the sale of fruit and confectionery. Minnesota al- lows the printing and sale of news

The ability of the farmers or ganizations of the south to dispose of a bumper crop without depress- ing prices below the cost of pro- duction will undergo a severe test during the coming season. It is admitted that the acreage has been increased over that of last year, while present prospects indicate that the production will equal if not exceed all previous records. If, however, the crop is not duly forced upon the market, fair price for the staple ought to be maintained.

The Wyoming law makes

papers. The Wyoming law makes exceptions of newspapers, railroads telegraph companies, news depots, farmers, mechanics, furnaces, smelters, glass works, vendors of ice cream, milk, fresh meat and bread. The law of Louisiana ex- cepts newspapers and printing off ces, bookstores, public and private markets, bakeries, dairies, rail roads. theaters, and other places of amusement.
 "The fourth class includes those States the prohibitory clauses of whose Sabbath laws are inherently weak. The laws of Colorado, Hi nois, and New Mexico prohibit on the Lords day only such labor and amusements as disturb congre gations and families. Business is not mentioned. New Hampshire forbids such secular business or labor as disturbs others. Montana prohibits neither labor nor trade. Nebraska does not prohibit trade. Oregon does not prohibit labor. Washington does not prohibit la bor, and weakens the clause pro- hibiting crimes against the public peace by adding, after the enumer- ation of riot, fighting or offering to fight, horse-racing, or dancing, the clause whereby any worship ing assembly or private family is disturbed
 "The fifth class embraces those that have no Sabbath laws. This class includes Arizona, California, and Idaho.

Faulkner county Democrats should make every effort to get out a full vote at the election of of Monday, September 5. They should not accept the fact that there is no opposition to the Dem ocratic county ticket as an excuse for remaining away from the polls.

It will not only be a source of much satisfaction to us, but il will result in the county Democ- racy having a fair representation in the next state convention.
