Cotton Plant.-A public mass meet ing of the business mon and property owners of Cotton Plant was held at the courthouse. The object of the meeting was to organize a good roads association with permanent roadway between Hunter and Des Arc, running through Cotton Plant, as the direct object in view. Mayor T. B.

ROBBERS MISSED THE MONEY.
T.ootpads Failed to See Cash Victim
 Held in His Hand.

Stuttgart. - Street Commissioner, Frank Johnson was the victim of a bold daylight assault and attempted robbery while inspecting the sewer age septic tank in the west part Of town. Johnson has only one arm, and when two strangers approached him and demanded that he hold up his hands and give them what monek he had on his person, he grasped q roll of bills in his pocket containing about S30 and held it unseen by the robbers. He at first gave battle, but was tapped upon the head by sand bag that rendered him half uncon- seious The robbers then dragged him to a clump of bushes, forced some kind of a liquid down his throat and then went through his clothing. He then lost consciousness completely, but awoke still clenching his money in his hand. His assailants in their hurry had overlooked it.

HISTORIC JOURNALS
 OF HOUSE FOUND
SECRETARY TUNNAH SAVES RECORDS NEARLY 100 YEARS
 OLD FROM JUNK PILE.
Also Journals of Famous 1S64-1a65 Sessions, to Ratify the Thirteenth
 Amendment to Constitution.

Little Rock-ln clearing away g. lot of old papers, printed bills, etc, in the senate committee rooms, pre- paratory to burning or otherwise dis posing of them, Secretary Benton Tunnah, of the state capitol commiS- sion, chanced upon some old state records that are of unusual historic interest to Arkansas.
 They are house journals for the fol- lowing legislative sessions: November 16 to November 21, 1929; November 4 to November ', 1881; and for the session of l864-5 and the extra ses- sion" called by Governor Murphy in 1865. It is not known just how these old records got mixed up with current records, but it is suppose l that it occurred in the nasty removal of books, papers, etc, from the old 10 the new capitol.
 The journal for the session of 1879, wEile Arkansas was yet a territory shows that Hon. John Wilson was speaker of the house, with Daniel Ringo, chief clerk, of Little Rock.
 In the session of 1881, w. M Trim ole was speaker, and George w. Feri- bee chief clerk. John Pope was terri torial governor in 1929, and William .. Woodruff of Little Rock was public printer.
 The journal for 1881 records the in tro'iuction of a bill tor the incorpo- ration of the city of Little Rock, among other interesting entries.
 curious fact noted in the journal CT the house proceedings in 1851, when the entry states that a certain bill was read the second time, under a suspension of the rules, after which the rules were further suspended and the bill read a third time and passed" Under the present consti- tuition, bill cannot be read three times on the same date The old rules governing the territory of Ark ansas were evidently different
 Many interesting things are found in the house journal for the sessions of 1SG4-1865, and particularly for tEe extra session in the latter year. This was about the time the "reconstvuc- tion period" set in, and the tenor of the house of representatives plainly showed that body to be ready to line up with the reconstructionists.

Rumor Railroad Absorption.

>Helena.-The rumors of absorption of the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad by the Kansas City Southern railway, which have been widely cir culated throughout this section, are regarded by local parties and busi- ness men in a most favorable light, many of the latter expressing their opinion that the interests of the road
 would be served materially by the proposed change. The rumor gained further substantiation when a party of Kansas City Southern officials made the trip over the M.. and N. A. railroad in company with former Vice President Sands and General Traffic Manager Whitney of the latter road.

SEASON FAVORABLE
 TO COTTON CROP
WHILE LACK OF MOISTURE IS LELT AT PLACES, COTTON
 HAS NOT BEEN HURT.
In Most Places Rains Have Fallen In Way to Do Most Good-Boli WceVil
 Damage Reported.

Little Rock-The week just ended, according to reports from all over the state, has been favorable to crops. especially cooton and corn. h many parts of the state rains, if any, haYa been light, but the lack of moisture has not hurt cotton. In portions where abundant rains have fallen dur ing the week. bumper crops of corn is expected. While early corn was considerably damaged by the drouth that lasted much of May and June, the late crop is promising and large yield is expected.
 Cotton, with the exception of a few localities, is better at this season than for many years at the same time. With the increased acreage planters expect a larger crop than has ever been made in the state. The plant is fruiting well and, while the stalk in many places is not as large as has been in some previous seasons, it is more sturdy and is better able to carry the large amount of bolls.
 Most places report that there have been no washing rains, but that they have fallen in such a manner as to do the most good. Around Prescott the lack of moisture has been felt more than in most places, but on Saturday a slow rain began to fall and it lasted most of the day, thus supplying all crops with just what they were in need of most
 In localities adjacent to Philadelphia crops have been suffering for lack Of rains and it is claimed that early corn has suffered to such an extent that is cannot recover. Early corn, it is claimed, has been damaged, but with sufficient rains, it can still make a good crop. Lack of moisture in that locality has not hurt cotton. and it is reported to be in a more flourish ing condition than it has been for years.
 In portions of St. Francis county eopious rains have fallen during the week, and crop prospects are better than they have been in years, is the report from Forrest City. In many parts of the county, it is said that cotton is standing three and four feet high and well fruited. In that county it has not been hurt by the drouth, and the yield is expected to be greater than in many years.
 Crops are comparatively clean, the long drouth that ended two weeks ago giving ample opportunity to farm CTS to get out grass, and they toC- ad- vantage of it. At the present time there is little grass in the fields. Owing to the fact that the crops have been so thoroughly cleaned farmers have been permitted to plant their pea crops earlier than usual. All of these crops are flourishing and the acreage is much greater than in any previous vars.
 Reports from Star City are that in that locality the boil weevil is doing considerable damage to the crop. The stalk is fine, it is claimed, but the bolls are being punctured by tho pests to such an extent that it is feared the crop will be cut short. Corn in that neighborhood, it is re- ported, is exceptionally good, espeei- ally that planted late. The old crop will be short, but even that is much ] better than it was thought at one time that it could possibly be-

PROPOSE TO SETTLE TITLE TO THE MUCH-DlSPUTED CHER
 OkEE STRIP.
Assistant Atty. Gen. Rector Seeks to Arrange Suit Between Arkansas
 and Oklahoma.

Assistant Attorney General Henry Rector is in Fort Smith in conference with Assistant Attorney General West of Oklahoma concerning jurisdiction of the Cherokee strip" in the west ern suburb of Fort Smith. The strip was formerly a part of the Indian Territory, but criminal jurisdiction was ceded to the state of Arkansas, later ratified by the general assembly of Arkansas and for several years this state has exercised jurisdiction. Ar kansas has also collected taxes from the inhabitants of the strip, but such action was never sanctioned by Okla homa, which claimed that the grant of congress was in violation to q treaty with the Indians. Although Oklahoma has never actually resisted the collection of taxes by Arkansas, Oklahoma authorities have eXpressel general dissatisfaction because of the fact that the taxes did not revert to the latter state.
 MT. Rector's plan is to have the state of Oklahoma bring suit against the state of Arkansas in the United States supreme court and he is in Fort Smith with a view to agreeing, If possible, upon that plan and agree ing what shall be in the complaints, etc., the procedure of the state of Ar kansas being to file demurrer to the complaint. The question of Arkansas right to criminal jurisdiction in the strip is now pending before the United States supreme court in the case of William Bowman against the state. Bowman was indicted for as- sault committed in the strip and sen tenced to death in the Sebastian cir cult court, the judgment being con- firmed by the Arkansas supreme court. His counsel, however, deny the jurisdiction of the state in the strip and on that ground have ap- pealed to the United States supreme court. Attorney General Norwood stated that the reversal or affirma- tion of the decision of the state courts by the federal court would merely os- tablish the criminal jurisdiction over the land in question, and that it's bear ing on civil jurisdiction, such as the collection of taxes, etc., was uncer- tain. He is of the opinion that Mir, Rectors plan of the suit of Oklahoma against Arkansas will be successful

Summon Senator Davis.

Fort Smith.-When Senator Jeff Davis passed through Van Buren he was served with a summons in the suit filed against Davis & Pace, Lit tie Rock attorneys, by Dr. w. L. Parchman of this city for $5,000, which the physician claims as his fee for giving expert testimony Tn the case of R. W. Webster of Argents against the Iron Mountain railway where the supreme court recently sustained a verdict for $35 ,O00, as ren- dered by jury in the circuit court at Van Buren. Dr. Parchman says he was allowed to name his own fee, which was to be in proportion to the verdict in the case.

Many Special Acts; Few General.

That the general acts of the Thirty eighth general assembly will be com pleted and ready for distribution not later than August 31 and the special and private acts not later than Sep tember 90, was stated by Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges.
 "The report has gone ou'," said MT. Hodges, that on account of annota- tions, etc, the acts would not be dis tributed before the first of the year, but I will state positively that they will be ready on the dates men toned"
 For the first time ill the history of the state, general and special acts will be printed in separate volumes. The course was authorized by the adoption of a concurrent resolution providing that such action be taken in the publication of all future acts. The general acts, said Mir. Hodges, number only about a third of the special acts. The volume of special acts will be as large as the entire acts of 1909, containing both special and general acts, while the general acts will make only small volume.
