RAIN IS GENERAL:
 CROPS EXCELLENT
REPORTS SHOW COTTON IS DOING WELL AND THAT A BUMPER
 CROP IS EXPECTED.
Early Corn Gut Short, but Bette! Than Expccted, While Late Corn
 Is in Excellent Condition.

Little Rock.-Following the long drouth of May and June. reports from all parts of the state show that rains have been general and that crops, es pecially cotton, are in excellent con dition. A bumper cotton crop is ex pected, while corn has done a great deal better than was expected three weeks ago. The yield of early corn, it is reported, will be somewhat cut short. but late corn is exceptionally good.
 There are some reports of damage by boil weeyil, but the area is limit ed, and the strenuous efforts of farm. CTS to eliminate the pests have re duced their damage considerably Gardens tkat were considered lost before the drouth was broken have responded wonderfully to the good rains and they are now looking good and vegetables are now beginning to come in.
 Acording to reports, cotton is fruit ing nicely and while the stalk is not as large as it has been in previous seasons, it is hardy and well able to hold all of the bolls that it can bear Crops are generally cleared of grass and weeds and they are given the very best opportunity to respond to the good rains that have been falling in most parts of the state.
 From most places reports are that, while abundant rains have fallen, they have not been too heavy. Cot ton is at least three weeks earlier this year than in many previous sea sons aud the result is that picking will be begun much earlier. This means that much of the crop will be placed on the market sooner than in most previous seasons.
 Most of the fruit is in good condi- tion, but where it was damaged by the drouth the rains came too late to benefit it much. In orchards and cornfields many farmers have sowed cowpeas and there is expected to be a larger yield of those than has ever been known in the state Experts have advised the planting of peas and in most instances the advice has been needed, with the result that farmers are more than pleased with their ex- pertinent.
 Taken altogether, the season since the drouth that lasted through n portion of May and the most of June, has been one of the best that farmers in this state have ever experienced.

Real Money in General Fund.

It was announced that the state treasurer has taken up all the out standing warrants against the general revenue fund held by the local banks and that there Is a balance of about S13,000 on hand. It is explained, however, that there are probably a number of outstanding warrants scat tered over the state that will come in from time to time. Owing to the fact that the legislature issued a distress call in April for collectors to pay collections in advance and to the fact that settlements are being made rapidly just now, it is estimated that about one-third of the collections that go to the general revenue fund have been paid in Only about one fifth of the collections due other funds have been paid The various county courts approve the statements of the collectors of the various coun- ties in July. but adjournment of court is sometimes taken until Au. gust without taking action on the col lectors' statement The collectors then have 15 days in which to make settlement with the state and it is sometimes as late as September be fore all the taxes come in. The great est part of money due the state gen. erally gets into the treasury before July 20.

Can Not Give Aid in Stanley Trial


 In reply to a communication from Prosecuting Attorney Paul Little Of Sebastian county, relative to the eff forts being made to secure the return of J. M Stanley from Oklahoma to Sebastian county on a charge of kid naping, Assistant Attorney General Rector states that the attorney gen erals office will be unable to send a representative to Pauls Valley, Okla, to prosecute the case in any manner, owing to lack of contingent funds. Stanley was arrested through the efforts of Sebastian county off cers but declined to return to Ar kansas without requisition papers. These were issued by Governor Dona- ghey and horored by Governor Cruce, but Stanley, who is an attorney and we'll versed in law, still fought the case, securing his release on a habeas corpus writ. AS it would require money to carry on the legal fight for the return of Stanley to Arkansas, the matter was taken Ip with the state legal department

 What came near being a disastrous automobile accident happened last Saturday afternoon when the car be- longing to pr.

The wire caught the car just above the hood and stripped the woodwork and wind- shield level with the top of the hood. and striking pr. Bogart before he could stop the machine, nearly threw him over the back of the drivers seat. MT. Jeff Nicely, of Palestine. who was occupying the seat with Dr. Bogart, was caught across the face by the wire and suffered some painful cuts. It is understood that the doctor has agreed to settle with the telephone company on condition that they pay for the repairs to his car to which they acceded.
