ASCERTAIN NEED OF
SCHOOL FINANCES

Little Rock, June 29.-The state
board of education has undertaken
study of the school revenues with a
view to improving the system, and is
asking school men and prominent citi-
zens of the state series of questions.
Are the revenues adequate? how
much should they be increased? are
balances at the end of the term for
or against the district? what appears
to cause lack of funds?
In 1910 the total school revenue of
the state was $4,450,131 including a
balance of $3.50, 1927 on hand June
30, 1909. And for the year 1909 the
total was $4,363, S30.37, including a
balance on hand June 80, 1908 of ST.
122,425.60.

REV. P. Il. HENSLEY
RESIGNS Passionate
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
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.

COTTON IMPROVED
DESPITE MOISTURE
COOL WEATHER HARMFUL
HOT SUN PLANTS GREATEST
NEED, SAYS MEMPHIS
PAPER.

Memphis, July 1.-The Commercial
Appeals weekly report on the condi-
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 of
the belt for the good of the plant
West of the river, and especially in
Texas and Oklahoma, the plant made
splendid progress. With the ground
full of moisture, soil in high state of
cultivation and fields clean the plant
has grown rapidly under the influence
of warm weather and open sunshine.
In Oklahoma the crop is still regard
ed as somewhat late, but many Texas
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-
tered development more in these
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 too
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,
lis 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 cessation of the rains for
season; the crop will soon regain
lost ground.
Reports of boil weevil were made
from some infected districts, but SO
far they have not proven destructive

to Save 81. a Day

pumps long enough to keep pressure
on the pipes in the daytime, while his
men are at work, and that he is un-
der no obligation to furnish an ade-
quate fre-fght:ng pressure for "a
hours every day.
We are also told that to run the
pumps for two or three hours each
day more than they are being run
would maintain supply of water in
the reservoir and a constant pressure
of rs to 80 pounds to the square inch
in the mains. This additional two or
three hours operation of the pumps
would cost, it is stated, not to exceed
S1.00 per day.
We do not say that Mr.. McCoppin,
the contractor, should bear the extra
expense of maintaining constant
water pressure. Yet the fact remains
that the time within which he should
have completed his contract and turn
ed the system over to the commission
eTS eHplTeu nearly yedi dSo, anu
that for nearly year the people of
Conway have had about $4,000 in
vested in the plant, the interest on
which at per cent, would amount to
over $500 a day.
But 81 a day is extremely cheap
protection for two or three million
dollars worth of property. And
somebody should see that the dollar is
expended and the property protected.

STILL FIGHT FOR
". s. RHEA'S LIFE

Little Rock, June 27.-More affi-
davits were filed and more witnesses
were taken before the governor We'd
nesday by Attorney X. o. Pindall in
the interest of w. S. Rhea, who is un-
der sentence to hang at Pine Bluff
July II. The fight in Rhea's behalf
is being prosecuted with an unremit-
ting earnestness, and hopes are yet
entertained by counsel that the gov
ernor can be induced to grant at least
communication, if not full pardon
eventually.

In two important instances it has
recently been demonstrated in Con-
way that waterworks system with a
reasonable pressure in the mains can
prevent a disastrous fire. In at least
one instance it has been demonstrat-
ed that waterworks system without
pressure is worthless.
The public school building and the
block of business houses on the west
side of the public square were saved
and the destruction of more than
$4,000 worth of property prevented
by means of the waterworks.
But what if either of these fires
had occurred as late as midnight and
before 8 o'clock in the morning? Be-
tween these hours there is no water
in the reservoir, no pressure in the
pipes, and should a fire occur, the
waterworks system would be abso-
lutely powerless to prevent its spread.
This condition was seen when the
Episcopal church was burned at an
early hour in the morning.
Why is there no water and no pres
sure in the latter part Of the night?
when the most disastrous fires
usually occur. We are told that the
contractor has not yet completed the
construction of the system; that in
order to proceed with his work of
testing and stopping leaks, it is only
necessary that he should run the

ROBINSON FACES
SERIOUS PROBLEM
MORE REVENUE IS NEEDED
NEW GOVERNOR MUST RAISE
RATE UNLESS IT,. 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 tine, to state his position.
That there will be advocates of the
measure, however, is certain. One of
it's authors, Senator Charlie Jacob
son of Little Rock, will deliver an adj
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 misn-
terpreted by it's opponents, and that
it 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 a most serious problem when he
assumes the governors chair. He will
have not only depleted treasury but
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 IL
mills to / ga 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, anC
how else will he get it? The increas-
ling 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
1.-THE state can be held within the linn
lit of it's revenues. This was suggest
ed in the last legislature, but nothing
came of it. He will also favor
trict economy in resources, and tn
probable consolidation of some offices
and the possible abolition of some. |
is a question whether he will recon-
mend the present continuation of al
four agricultural schools, and it i
expected that he will recommend tn
consolidation of the tax commission
and the railroad commission

Then ask him about Ayers

MILLS SCHOOL TAN.

A levy of 1-2 mills upon the as
sessed valuation of school district
No. 7 was authorized at the meet
ing of the voters of the district. held
Saturday forenoon in the Central
school,
This levy upon $3,261, ,065, the as
sessed value of the district will pro-
duce s27,719, little less than the
nine mills last year produced. The
revenues of the district from all 9th

a total of $43,1S9, with which to
meet the estimated expense of S4S,-

favored an eight mill levy, and a

D TheWorlds Champion Ear 4

The champion ear of corn was
no accident. There can be no
greater lesson in the value of
careful study and painstaking Sc
lection of seed and breeding than
the experiences of this same Pal
in. The farmer who thinks he
stands chance to go into his
corn field and by a piece of luck
pick out an ear which Nature has
fashioned even more perfectly,
and with it wrest the honors
from this Indiana man, cannot
do better to disabuse his mind Of
this fallacious notion than to read
the story of Palm and his cham
pion ear.
