the senate by declaring the office
vacant. A special election will
be held in these two counties, in
which both Sumpter and Greaves
will be candidates. The impress.
sion seems to prevail among a
majority of people who know
something of the facts that the
republican was fairly elected to
the senate and defrauded of the
office by dishonest election Off
cials, who returned a majority of
the votes for Sumpter. There is
not republican in the senate
and this body would not declare
in favor of Sumpter, which is
proof that there must have been
"something dead up the creek"
in his election. Really, it ap-
peared, from reading the sen.
ate proceedings, that a majority
of the senators were convinced
Greaves had been fairly elected,
but shirked the responsibility Of

BY a decisive vote the lower
house of the general assembly
has passed a measure exempting
from taxation for a period of
seven years all capital invested
in cotton mills in this state dur
ing the next ten years. This is a
meritorious measure, and the en-.
dorsement given it by the lower
house is a hopeful sign Of the
times. In the past it has appear
ed to be the policy of the legis-
lature to enact laws keeping cap
ital out OF the state, with the re-
suit that the resources of Arkan-
sas are practically in an unde-
veloped state and the state itself
is behind the times, while a more
liberal policy toward capital has
made other states great and pros
porous. 1t has not been long
that bill exempting capital in
vested in Arkansas could muster
a decent following in the legisla.
lature, but that there is a great
awakening to the needs Of this
state is evident.
