State Capital Notes
E

Cotton on State Farm is Damaged.
 One thousand acres of land planted in cotton at the state farm has been so affected by seepage from the food ed river that the crop on that tract has been ruined, according to state ments made by Superintendent J. A, Pitcock of the pententiary, who has just returned from the state farm. Three thousand acres at the state farm had been planted in cotton, but MT. Pitcock says a crop will not be secured from only 1000 acres, and possibly not from that much if further damage is done.
 The soil becomes saturated with water which seeps up through the earth and rests on the surface, cover ing large area It is impossible to drain seepage from the land.
 The running of the crop means a loss of thousands of dollars to the state The last crop sold for more than S60, 000 and the acreage was considerably less than that planted this year.

Kirby Wants Rehearing.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby has announced that he would file a mo- tion with the Supreme Court for a new hearing in the London and Lan cashire Insurance Company case, in which the Supreme Court held that a foreign corporation entering the state could be taxed only on the amount of it's subscribed stock. Mir. Kirby be- lieves that the company should pay on the amount of it's authorized capital stock. Under the law a company may enter the state and pay the tax on the amount of subscribed stock, Mr. Kirby believes that the company should pay on the amount of it's au- thorized capital stock. Under the law a company may enter the state and pay the tax on the amount of sub scribed stock, which may be very small, and then, after entering the state, increase it's subscribed stock and not be compelled to pay tax on the increase.

"'VAP'
Body Reveals Probable Crime.

2S 'SNSoio Iobap'S SiitiiSs
 The badly decomposed body of a well-dressed white man, whose iden- tity is not known, was found Satur- day noon on the north bank of the miles below Little Rock. When found the mans feet were tied together with cotton rope and this, together with the fact that he was well dressed and that his pockets had been rif1ed of everything, has led Coroner S. P. Vaughter of Little Rock, who conduct ed an inquest over the body Sunday ar ternoon, to believe the man met with foul play. He was probably murdered and his body then thrown into the river, the coroner thinks. The mans identity is complete mystery to the authorities, as they have no record of the disappearance of any white man ill this locality in the past few months. Coroner Vaughter believes the body had been in the water a month or mOre
 The body was discovered by Alonzo Proctor, nergo fisherman. The body had been washed up on the bank on the Templeton plantation. Coroner Vaughter was notified Sunday morn ing and at 4 o'clock on the afternoon he reached the scene and conducted the inquest at the place where the body was found.
 The man was about five feet 10 inches tall. He wore dark pair of pants and a dark checked summer weight coat. He also wore new pair of black-top shoes. The cloth on each shoe was marked "R. s. C." He also wore a light colored soft shirt with black dots.
 A verdict was returned to the effect that the man came to his death from causes unknown to the jury. q be- lieve 'fie was murdered" was the statc- ment made Sunday night by Coroner Vaugnter.
 The body was buried on the river bank immediately after the inquest, as it was in such decomposed condition that it was deemed best not to attempt to move it.

NUMBER 16.
Road Tax Law Valid.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby has. rendered an opinion that the act of the recent legislature requiring coun- ty collectors to turn over one-half of the road tax collected in towns of four counties of the state to the cities.' not specifying whether that money should be used by the town for road improvement work, was constitutional and valid The question that the law was invalid was raised on the ground that the act does not specify that the money turned over to the town shall be used for street and road improve ment work. MT. Kirby says that the constitution requires that money col lected as road tax must be expended for road and special improvement only and that, as the special act is silent regarding the disposal of the money, it must be held that the legislature in- tended to follow the constitution.
