DAWSON TALKS
 OF SANCT|F|CAT|ON

Large crowds are still in attendance at the tent meeting, and the last two nights they have listened to Rev. J. Clarence Dawson as he spoke of "Sanctification. Mir. Dawson said any thing-a city, house, an animal or person-that was set aside to Gods service, was sanctified. From l Cor. 1:1-2 and Eph 5:25-26 he showed that the church of God was sanctified, and from I Pet. 3:9 that Gods people were holy nation, and therefore all of Gods people were sanctified. Reading from 1 Thes. A, he showed that the will of God and our sanctifcation was to abstain from fornication, not to live in lust, not to defraud our brother in any matter;
 that we should study to be quiet and to do our own business, to work with our own hands, to walk honestly to- ward them that are without; in fact. to obey the commands given by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. His

Some of the reports state the cotton is she'd ding so rapidly that if the present hot and humid weather conditions con- tinue for the next week fully half the crop will be lost. G. R. Roebuck of Haynes has written to the department complaining of a cotton worm or cot ton caterpillar which is working great damage upo nthe cotton in the low lands He asks where arsenate of lead can be secured to fight the evil, and the desired information has been sent, together with the advice to use the lead by all means, instead of paris green, which some advocate, as the lead will not kill off the leaves of the plant like paris green has always been known to do.

TO PUSH WORK
 OF ORGANIZATION
MAJORITY FAVOR SEWERS
NO TIME WILL BE LOST IN SEE CURING SIGNATURES TO
 SECOND PETITION.

No time will be lost in completing the work of organizing the sewer i'm provement district created by the city council Tuesday night, according to those most actively interested in pro- noting the sewerage system. Now that the boundary lines of the district have been established by the council, the next step necessary is to secure the signatures of a majority in value of the property owners within the dis trict to a petition asking that the inn provement be undertaken and that commissioners be appointed to take charge of the work. Under the law 90 days from the publication of the first ordinance is allowed as a time within which to file the second peti- tion, but it is believed that not more than one-third this length of time will be permitted to elapse before q ma jority in value of the property owners will have signed the petition One en- thusiastic booster for the sewer dis trict said today that the petitions would be ready for the council to act upon at their next meeting, August 22, but it is hardly thought possible that this can be done, as it is desired to commit not only bare majority but practically all of the property owners in favor of the improvement. To do this it will be necessary to send petitions to many out-of-town owners of Conway real estate.
 That there will be but little or no active opposition to the completion of the sewer district organization is thought practically certain. In form ing the boundary lines of the district the committee endeavored to outline one that would include as few as pos sible who were known to be opposed to the improvement. Opposition from a number of owners on the west side manifested itself when the district was at first proposed and it was de- cided to omit this section from the district. The citizens of this section themselves, took the matter up, how ever, with the result that about three fourths of them are said to have sign ed the initial petition for the forma- tion of the district with their proper ty included
 To build municipal plant of any size through the improvement district is slow process at best, the porceed- ings from beginning to end being ac- companied by much "red tape" and restrictions designed for the protec- tion of the taxpayer. It was just two years ago this month that the first pe- tition for the organization of the wat erworks district was presented and the district created. In spite of the fact that the commissioners have pro- ceeded as rapidly as possible under the law, the system is not yet com pleted. It is thought, however, that if the sewerage meets with no un- expected delay, it could be completed during 1912, possibly before the schools open for their fall sessions of next year.
