Moroccan Corruption.

Two main evils in Morocco are the
corruption OF Moorish officials and the
degradation of Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequately paio
and are liable at any moment to be
stripped and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload. The natural
result is that they make hay while the
sun shines. and by their "pickings'
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be In store for
them. Says a writer: Before they
take Office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
to higher power quickly corrupts
them, and they proceed to do as they
are likely to be done by. Each Off.

First Rock to Talk.

In New street, Horsham, England,
says writer in the May Strand, there
is to be seen the very exceptional and
interesting spectacle of talking rock.
The bird is the property of two school
children, little girl and boy, who
caught 1t five years ago. when it was
quite baby, in a local rookery. 1t is
Of the gentler sex, and occupies a
small pen in tiny back garden. No
attempt has ever been made to teach
the Iook to talk, and yet she has a
vocabulary of close upon 100 simple
words. She is often allowed out in
the garden, for, although she can fly
swiftly and strongly, she can be trust
ed not to make her escape. 1t is said
that this is the first instance of a roo!,
developing the power to talk.

PERRYVILLE POST
MASTER HELD IN JAIL

United States Marshal John Bur-

as witnesses and cited L. J. Murray
late postmaster at this place, to APP

Aliens court at Little Rock. They

await the action of the United States
grand jury. In default of ond he
was committed to jail.
He had been checked up by the U
S. postoffice inspector and found to be
short over 800. 1t is mystery what
he did with the money if there is not
mistake in the finding of the inspec-

COTTON IMPROVED

NEED, SAYS MEMPHIS
PAPER.

Memphis, July The Commercial
Appeals weekly report on the eondl.
ton of the cotton crop this morning
is as follows:
The cotton crop advanced during
the past week in spite of cool weather
and rather too much rain in moSt ag

West of the river, and especially in
Texas and Oklahoma. the plant made
a splendid progress, With the grvssaS;

of warm weather and open sunshine.
In Oklahoma the crop is still regard
ed as somewhat late, but many Texas
correspondents say that the plant in
that state has overcome its late start.
In Arkansas and Louisiana good pro-
gress was made by the crop, which is
in good condition, but cool nights de-

states than they did in Texas and Ok.
lahoma.
East of the river the plant made
progress, but this progress was not
up to normal for the season of the
year, owing to cool night and toe
much rain in portions of this area
Reports of spotted conditions came
from Mississippi and Georgia, but
this was founded mostly on the great
difference in the size of the plants
which range from cotton just coming
up to stalks twenty inches high. The
entire crop in this section, however
is still some two or three weeks late
Some grass and weeds are reported
from Mississippi, Georgia and Ala
bama, but these reports are decidedly
in the minority. In the Carolinas the
plants made good progress, due to
warm, fairly open weather. The state
of cultivation is well advanced.
The crying need of the crop is
warm weather-hot days and warm
nights-with plenty of sunshine
1T is the general belief that with
plenty of sunshine, low tempera-
lures and a cessation of the rains for
a season, the crop will soon regain
lost ground.

from some infected districts, but Sc

REV. P. Il. HENSLEY
RESIGNS Passionate

After a service here of several
months, Rev. P. H. Hensley last night
rendered his resignation as supply
pastor of the Conway Presbyterian
church and leaves tonight for Fay
etteville. The members of the church
here urged Rev. Hensley to reconsider
his determination to resign, but he
stated that he felt he had done all in
his power to build up the local church
into a strong congregation, and that
under all the circumstances he
thought it best for him to resign.
During their residence here Rev. and
Mrs. Hensley have made many
friends, all of whom deeply regret
their departure. Rev. Hensley is not
only regarded as an able preacher but
one of the best pastors who has ever
served the Presbyterian church here.

WHY MAN EXcELs Ar COZ
Training Which Her Brother
Gets in Boyhood.

If you were asked why men PLAY
better golf than women your answer
probably would be: because men are
stronger than women. And that
would be the truth, but only part of IT,
Possibly the difference in the effec-
tveness of the woman's and the man 5
game can, as some people claim, be
traced directly to the length of the
shot, but the more one investigates
the more he is led to qualify this con-
clusion. 1t becomes, on the whole
less reasonable to credit solely to
muscular advantage the eight to nine
strokes which, roughly, measure the
handicap due from a man to q woman.
In other words, If man and WON
an should happen to have an equal
supply of strength and endurance. II
seems that the man would turn out to
be the better golfer That is the ques-
ton
In the first place. men have far
greater game experience. They begin
to play bat and ball games at an ear
lier age and thereby develop more
thoroughly the feel" of clubs and the
fine eye that is necessary for success
in such games. There are all sorts
of games that boys amuse themselves
with from their earliest youth which
give them eye. And when they take
a golf club in their hands for the first
time the essential act of concentrating
their vision on the object to be struck
is not novelty. 1t is second nature.
With a girl it is different. She has
not daily played games that developed
her eye, such as marbles. scrub"
hockey, snowballing and target prac-
tice, games that are the constant avo-
cations of bipeds who practice the
profession of being boys. And yet one
of the greatest of women golfers as
sures me that women have shown in
tournaments more concentration of
the eye than men and that only last
fall this fact was proved. It appears
that a computation was made both at
the mems championship and the wom-
ems which proved that the women
missed their drives less often than the
men.-Charles Alden Settler in the

ROBINSON FACES
SERIOUS PROBLEM
MORE REVENUE is NEEDED
NEW GOVERNOR MUST RAISE
RATE UNLESS TT. BILL
is ADOPTED.

Little Rock, July There is much
speculation as to the course Governor
Donaghey will pursue in regard to
the TT. bill in the ensuing cam
paign. Since the election he has
made no statement concerning his ia
vorite measure for the revision of the
taxation system, and has declined. at
this time, to state his position.
That there will be advocates of the
measure, however, is certain. One of
its authors, Senator Charlie Jacob
son of Little Rock, will deliver an ad-
dress at Bigelow, Perry county, on
the Fourth of July, in which he will
make an argument in favor of the
measure. He contends that the act
is misunderstood or wilfully mis-:
terpreted by its opponents, and that
1t is most important act for an
equitable adjustment of the assess
ments and tax rates of the state: al
so, that it will shift the burden of
taxation from the poor man to the
rich corporations, where it justly be-
longs.
1t is admitted by all that Governor
Robinson will find himself confronted
with most serious problem when he
assumes the governors chair. He will
have not only a depleted treasury but
a deficit of anything up to a million
dollars. A loan to cover the deficit
and an increase in the tax rate are
plans tentatively proposed to meet
the situation.
1t cannot be denied that all the
trouble began when Governor jeff
Davis brought about a reduction of
the general revenue rate from 2 1-2
mills to "a mills, and thereby gain
ed the approval of thousands for his
interest in behalf of the people. The
people saved a few dollars in taxes,
but the state has been getting deeper
in debt every year since then, until
now the finances are in a most de-
plorable condition. Even Governor
Donaghey's sweeping vetoes of appro-
priations, many of them most import
ant, could not save the state from 60
ing on a scrip basis for the first time
since the war. But when Governor
Robinson attempts to put the rate
back to the point from which Cover
nor Davis lowered it, he will find that
it is difficult for the people to recon-
cile rate-raising with their views of
conserving the interests of the people.
But more revenue he must have, and
how else will he get it? The increas-
ing demands of the state government
more than absorb the natural in
crease in taxation, even with the OPP
erations of the tax commission.
Governor Robinson favors the bud
get system, whereby the expenses of
the state can be held within the linn
it of it's revenues. This was suggest
ed in the last legislature, but nothing
came of it. He will also favor a
trict economy in resources, and the
