LITTLE BOY MET
 AN AWFUL DEATH

J. H. Gore of Holland, who is in the city today, brought to Conway the first news of terrible accident which occurred near his home last Wednes- day morning, in which Melvin Dur ham, the three-year-old son of Luther Durham, was fatally burned. The little boy, Mir. Gore states, was left at home with his five-year-old sister and an infant, while his mother was on an errand to neighbours house short distance away, and his father was at work in the field. In some manner the little fellows clothing caught fire, and Mr. Gore, who was about 40 yards away, was attracted by the sisters screams, but reached the boy too late to save him, his clothing having al- ready practically burned up. Medical aid was immediately summoned, but the boy lived less than three hours af- ter the accident occurred.

BOARDS TRAIN AND
 FORGETS HER CHILD

Morrilton, Oct 16.-An event out of the ordinary occurred here this week A Mrs Millsaps, with five children, of Copeland, came here to take the train for Brownsville, Texas. In some way she got on herself with four of the children, but overlooked a little girl about four years old She at once dis covered her loss and left the train at Plumerville to await return train to this city. Hon. W. E. Burns, who was going to Plumerville on the "dinky," took the child to that place and turned it over to the anxious mother, who boarded the 'dinly" and went on her way rejoicing.

sesSed against them by the state tax commission, and for the obvious reason that the act of 1909 providing for the collection of the tax did not contem- plate the collection of tax upon the entire business done by the state.
 The opinion was rendered in reply to a query from State Treasurer J. L. Yates, who stated that one of the four private-car companies certified to by the tax commission had refused to pay a part of the amount, claiming it was on interstate business, and another had declined to pay because it did nothing but an interstate business. Attorney General Norwood cites the acts which states the state may collect per cent on the gross receipts of the companies for business done within the state, and quotes opinions of the United States supreme court in slml- lar cases. In concluding, Attorney General Norwood states that only gross receipts may be considered in the computation which are earned on in- trastate business, and that any other construction of the act would be against what it plainly expresses, and would render it invalid He says com panies which do no business in the state could not be included, as a fran chise tax is for the purpose of doing business in the state.
 Attorney General Norwood says a state has no right to interfere with in- terstate business and it would be ille- gal for state to exact tax for the enjoyment of privilege which it has no right to withhold, or to make, as a basis of taxation, receipts from busi- ness over which it has no control. He instructs Treasurer Yates to have the tax commission to revise it's assess ments to conform to his opinion, and if the private-car companies do not pay immediately, to notify him and he will act immediately as directed to do un- der the act.

COW FEED SCARCE.

With cotton seed at $21 a ton, the proposition of feeding COW in Con way has become a serious one. Cotton seed meal is selling at S1.50 a sack and hulls at 45 cents hundred, and it is hard to secure either at those prices, as the seed crushers can use these pred ucts to better advantage in eXchang- ing them with farmers for seed. The crop of cotton seed this year is lighter in proportion than the short cotton crop, and the seed is said to be of an inferior quality for the most part.

Hi' Gs rdTkeF.
M. ID. Parker was born in Virginia
In 1884. and came to Jefferson county
with his fathers family in early life.
lie remained in this place until he
was united in marriage to Miss Nancy
g. Dunn, Jan 8. 1861. After their mar
riage they resided on a farm near Ell
don until 1909, when they located in
Ottumwa, where Mrs. Parker died
July IL, 1908. Mr.. Parker was the faith
er of nine children, six of whom sur
vive him, namely: Mrs. e. T. Jackson,
Pittsburg, Kas.; G. w. Parker
Princeton, CAL; r. r. Parker, ,Bata.
via; Charles r. Parker, Chicagoa Mrs.
George Randall, Ottumwa, and Mrs.

united with the Baptist church in FL
don in 1855. Later a church was or
ganized near his home, called Fair
view, where he united and was one
among the number that built the
house of worship. He left Ottumwa
last fall and spent the winter with his
children in Pittsburg, Kas. Last April

there few days before his death for
Ottumwa, but when he reached Sac
ramento he was taken sick and only
lived a few days. His son was with
him during his last illness. Mr.. Par
ker was one of the early pioneers of
Jefferson county whose years of up
right dealings in the business world,
whose purity of thought and life in
the social circles enabled him to close
his long, useful life. leaving an ex-
ample worthy of imitation. His was
a life that tells there was in his
heart a determination to do his best.
He was faithful and loyal as a hus-
band, father and neighbor, and of him
1t may be said, he was tired. SO let
him rest from his earthly toll.
