CHART OF AMERICAN HISTORY,
Prof. G. B. Cook Devises New Method
 Chartinq Political History,

Prof. George B. Cook, superintend- ent of public instruction, has carried into effert an idea he has fostered for some time regarding a political chart showing American history at a glance, and such chart now decorates his office Application for the copy to use in school charts has already been made by two book companies.
 The top of the chart is decorated in colors by large cluster of flags. In the center is "Old Glory" and on the right the flags of those govern ments from whom land has. been ob- tained by secession of purchase. On the left are flags denoting the coun. tries with which the United States has been at war, including the South ern Red Cross" The center column contains illustrations of each epoch to left and right of inventions, begin hing with the cotton gin and ending with the aeroplane. The terms of the presidents are given in order, and the two big political parties are desig- mated in colors.

WOULD "SAVE" ARKANSAS.
Aged German Would Rid State of Al
 Field Petsts by New Method.

Aged German Would Rid State Of All
 Field Petsts by New Method.
 An old German who says that he has travelled about considerably, and first came to Arkansas in 1874, was at the office of the commissioner of agricul- ture and explained to Deputy Com missioner Lewis E. Hutchins plan for saving Arkansas" as he stated He says he can rid the cotton fields of the boil worm, boil weevil an every other worm or bug that damages the crop. His plan is to leave a space of eight feet between the fence row and the cotton, which space he will cover with coal tar, or some other sticky substance. In this manner, he claims that the worm can not get to the field. When the whole surface of tar has been coated with bugs, he will lay another coat Of tar.
 The visitor declared he would make the experiment if provided with suf- ficient funds, and said the state should make an appropriation in order to pro tect the farmers. He was unable to make an estimate of how much money or tar would be required to protect all of the cotton fields in the state.

Governor Donaghey has fixed Octo- per as the date for general obserY- ance throughout the state, and to be known as fire prevention day.

Advances of County Collectors Have
 Kept Treasury Supplied.
 The general revenue fund in the state treasury, which is used to pay the running expenses of the state gov ernment, including the salary of all sEate officers, clerks, etc., contains $143,000. Treasurer Crockett stated that this money will run the state un- til about the 1st of December, after which time considerable tall hustling will have to be done to run the state government.
 After the first of the year, the state will then be able to get along more gracefully, as the liquor license will begin to reach the state treasurer, and collectors of the various counties of the state will resum the practice of making advances to the state on ac- count of taxes collected
 Had it not been for promptness of the tax collectors of the state in mak- ing advances to the state treasurer, Arkansas would have been on a scrip basis years ago.

COTTON CROP WILL
 BREAK ALL RECORDS
Crop Which Gave Indications of Failure Will Turn Out a
 Bumper Crop.
FINAL CONDITION REPORT
Some States Show a Loss in Per- centage for the Year, While
 Others Show Gain.

Washington.-The cotton crop Of the growing season of 1911, which ear ly in the year gave indications that it would be one of the largest in the history of the industry will be ap- proximately 13,S6S,337 bales of 800 pounds, or about 100000 bales more than the record year of 1904. This was indicated by the final condition report of the department of agricul- ture, which showed the crop to be- I'll per cent of a normal on Septem- Der 25.
 While there were declines in the condition in most states, there was an improvement of 2 per cent in Texas and 1 per cent in North Caro- lima.
 With an indicated yield of 1,095 pounds to the acre, as unofficially es| timated from condition figures, and the greatest planted area on record 35040, ,000 acres-the 1911 crop un- doubtedly will be the biggest on ree3 ord.
 Cotton this year early gave indica- tions that it would be a bumper crop, but during August the decline amount ed to 15.8 per cent, a record falling off. The decline during September, however, was one of the smallest on record. Unofficial reports indicate that prospects for a good top crop are poor

The confession of error filed in the Supreme Court by the attorney gen eral several days ago in the case of w. A. Compton of Lee county has been withdrawn by the state legal depart ment on the contention of the prose cutting attorney in the circut court to the effect that the error complained of by the attorney general is a mis- prison merely and that the original in- dictment is not faulty.
 Compton, who was at one time judge of this county and who later served as secretary of the Mariana school board, was indicted on a charge of embedding $100 of the school funds of the district. He was convicted and sentenced to one years imprison- ment.

A transcript of an unusual case has been received by the state legal de partment from Searcy county, which the prosecuting attorney of the dis trict wants to appeal to the Supreme Court. Several boys living ina Searcy were indicted on the charge of steal ing 20 watermelons from farmer, and when the case came up for trial the circuit judge, after hearing the evidence, ordered the defendants dis charged. The prosecuting attorney took exceptions to the judges order and took an appeal to the Supreme Court. The transcript of the proceed ings is in the hands of the attorney general and there is some doubt as to whether he will file it, there being no evidence of the guilt of the defend ants.

Attorney General Serving Notices.

Attorney Geenral H. L. Norwood has just finished writing to the 126 cor porations that have been certified to him as being delinquent, serving mo- tices that the franchise tax must be paid to avoid suit. A penalty of % per cent was also attached, all of which the attorney general is required to collect by bringing suit. Since the attorney general received the list sev- eral corporations have sent in the tax with the 25 per cent penalty, and others have sent in the amount with out the penalty. In the latter case the attorney general returned the amount with a letter stating hat the penalty must be included also as he has no discretion in the matter and must col lect the full amount as the law re quires.
