STILL HOT
 IN PERRY COUNTY

Politics has not cooled off to any perceptible degree in Perry county and, according to the Perryville News, the meeting of the county Democratic central committee last Saturday was a warm affair. J. F. Hutchingson and E. H. Rankin are contesting for the nomination for county treasurer. In the county primary last January, MT. Hutchingson received small majori- ty on the face of the returns. The mat ter was taken before the county cen tral committee and by vote of 13 to 12, it was decided not to entertain a contest. Following the adjournment of the old committee, however, Ran kin's supporters secured control of the new committee, which declared him the nominee The county conven- ton will be held at Perryville today and further steps in the contest are expected to be taken.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, April 6.-Granting a petition from a large number of citi- zens of Faulkner county, Governor Donaghey issued proclamation ex- tending the time of paying taxes in that county without penalty for a pc riod of one month from April 10.
 The formal proclamation has been forwarded to Sheriff J. s. Johnson for official publication in the newspa- pers.
 The petition called the attention of the governor to the fact that the peo- pie of the county are nearly all in diff flcult financial circumstances owing to a poor crop and low prices last year, and their condition has been made worse by the unusually backward spring. It was also urged that the overflow of the Cadron and other creeks made it impossible for large portion of the citizens to get to the county seat and it would be unfair for them to have to pay penalty. Governor Donaghey issued sim liar proclamation on behalf of the taxpayers of St. Francis county sev- 'eral days ago.
