REFUSE TO INDICT:
 JURY DISCHARGED
Judge Coffin at Newport Silently h. dicates Displeasure at Failure to Bring True Bill Against
 Saloonist Simmons

Newport, Sept. When the original Grand Jury for the Sep tenber term, shortly before the noon hour today, again returned to the court the papers and testi- mony upon which Judge Coffin had instructed the body to iudict Robert T. Simmons for the kill ing of Eulce King, and upon which the jurors had already re. ported their inability to agree, the court without the customary thanks, but with no spoken word .of criticism, promptly ordered their discharge and directed the sner il to proceed at once to sum- mon a new yenire of 16 grand jurors and nine alternates to re. port to the court at 9 o'clock Fri day morning. To this jury will then be committed the papers up ou which the other jury failed to take action.
 The discharged jury is cur reatly reported to have stood 9 to 7 and 10 to 6 in favor of an indict- ment for murder in the second degree. The courts manner of discharge of the old jury is ac. cepted as reprimand for its rail ure to return an indictment as instructed. ,
 Simmons, who is saloonkeep- CT, in retaliation for being wounded by Enice King a few weeks previous, shot and killed King on the mig Int of March Is, the killing occurring in Peter An dersou's saloon, a block distant from Summons saloon. Some tiue in February Simmons elected King from his saloon, and a few days later King lay ia wait for Simmons with a shotgun loaded with squirrel shot. He fired both barrels at Simmons, some of the shots taking effect in Simmons legs. King was arrested and com mitted to jail, but was re- leased on bond March Is. When Simmons passed Anderson sa. loon he caught glimpse of King on the inside and went Into the sa loon and killed the youth. who was IS years of age. Kings home was in Texarkaua, but he had been employed at Newport for some time as clerk.

If Much Opposition Comes Against the State Tax Commission. Suits for Back Taxes May Be tbe
 Result.

Little Rock, Sept. l5.- Cover nor Donaghey, who is strong advocate of the state tax commls- sion, today intimated that com mercial organizations would do well to move carefully in opposi- ton to the commission.
 These statements were prompt ed by the action of the local board of trade in calling convention Of commercial clubs to resist the raise in assessments.
 Corporation managers, espe- cially, better go slow, or slsey may find they will have to pay back taxes, if they kick too much," declared the governor. 1.-The state has ample back tax laws"

GIVEN FIFTEEN DAYS
Delinquent Home and Foreign Corpor- ations Must Come Across With
 Annual Franchise Tax

Little Rock, Sept. l5.-OfIicial notice is today being mailed out from the office of the secretary of state 10 the 750 delinquent cor porations, both home and foreign, who have not compiled with the laws of the state requiring the ptyment of an annual franchise tix. The corporations are given until October l, just fifteen days, in which to comply with the law After that date their charters will be aunulled, so far as business in Arkansas is concerned.
 Owing to the fact that the an nual franchise tax statute IS a new law, Secretary Ludwig has been rather leuient with the cor porations, as 1t is evident that the failure to pay by July 1 was an oversight in the majority of the cases. The present notice, how ever, is fiual.
 It's expected that the responses will show that many of the con. cerns have dissolved, and are either now operating as partner ships or have ceased operating allog ether. As partnerships they will be able to eyade the corpora tion tax law.

NATIONAL FOREST
 EXPERT COMING
Will Deliver Addresses on General Farming and Fruit Growing Burning Over Lands Does
 Not Prevent Ticks.

The U. $. Bureau of Plant In dustry is planning to send some experts into the Arkansas Ma. tional Forest to visit the priuci- pie towns and villages, delivering addresses on the chances for im- provement of general farming and fruit growing interests. They will also visit many farms and offer suggestions when de. sired for the tet erment of the methods and increase in produc. tiveness of the land.
 A stock argument against the burning of the woods is that with annual fires the ticks will increase so rapidly as to seriously interfere with the livestock industry. The U. 5. Bureau of Anima! Industry has made thorough study of the tick question and has come to definite conclusions in regard 10 the method for it's extermination. The Bureau is decidedly against the burning of wooded areas for, in addition to the fire danger, burning has proved valueless as a means of exterminating the tick or preventing it's spread.

NEXT YEARS FRUIT
 CROP ENDANGERI D
n.oo,b Has Practically Destroyed Strawberry Vines in Crawford cosuty Peach Orchards
 in Bad Shape.

v,i Buren, Sept. l4.--Fhs a,nth that has prevailed herr .,nce July 10 remains uubroken, .rd no section of the state vii a,ger more than Crawford coun
 for aside from the damage { aors to cor, co ton, watermelon .nd other commercial crops that have suffered, 1t looks very m'c as if next years fruit crop Will be very light, if no, p acticAl Tai : ure.
 The thousands of acres of st,awberry viues that have never vet failed to yield the growers 4 nrotitable crop, have. with few exceptions, been burned out, aud ,be fields would burn like tinder fl match were applied. Many rew fields were set out this spring at the close of the picking season, and unul the drouth set In the ,creage was the largest and most promising since the inauguration of the industry here, more than 20 years ago. Should a general rain come quickly and norusl conditions resumed, growers would reset their fields if they could get the plants, but the fall planting would bear but very light crop under the most favorable condl- iions.
 The Eloerta peach orchards are in bad shape, many of the trees are shedding their foliage. and it IS believed that many of them will not put out again next spring. As the fruit buds on the Elderta peach tree forms in this section early in August, owners of the larger commercial orchards are taking a very gloomy view of the situation.
 The cotton is opening and being picked very rapidly, and the indi- cations are that the estimate e of a 40 per cent crop publish d recent ly was a most conservative one. The early corn crop is being 2 .hered and will make more than lhe average yield, this being the only field crop that was not dam aged or lost entirely. Fall past ure there is none, and the water ing of stock in many sections of the county is becoming serious proposition.
