Railroads Must pay for Sand

The supreme Court ruled that rail ioadS and other corporations taking Sahd or gravel from the beds of navi- sdole streams in Arkansas must pay TOT the privilege, the decision being handed down by Chief Justice McCul- 'och' Justice Hart dissenting.
 The case was that of the attorney general ex rel, against the Southern o@nd and Material Company, in which Attorney General w. L. Moose sought 'o enforce the provisions of the act of l9f3, which requires all individuals, corporations and railroad companies taxing sand or gravel from the beds 0' haYigable streams in the state to pay four cents per cubic yard for gray el' the amounts paid to go the general revenue fund of the state.
 The word individual" was omitted Ill the section of the act providing il penalty for failure to pay for the sand UT gravel, consequently the court held ,nat the statute did not apply to in diyiduals.

The new law will place Arkansas in the fore front among the most advanced states of the South and the nation"

Adjusting Bank Affairs.

The State Banking Department has succeeded in adjusting the affairs of another bank so that there will be no loss on the part of the depositors or other creditors.
 On April 2 the department, at the request of the board of directors, took charge of the Citizens Bank of Juno tion City, and at once began negotia- tions to settle up It's affairs.
 Saturday morning, May 16, at 10 o'clock, a new institution, the Union Bank and Trust Company, opened it's doors in Junction City, assuming all the assets and liabilities of the former bank. Every deposit or other claim will be paid in full. The new instiu- ton begins business with a capital stock of $5O,000, surplus of 5000, and undivided profits of $10000. The of ficers are Col. J. F. Hampton of For dyce. president; J. NJ. Brown, vice president; R c. Brown, secretary. Mr J. D. Covey, deputy bank commits sioner, spent several days in Junction City assisting in the reorganization.
 This is the second bank that has been saved by the commissioner this year the first being at Hamburg. Last week a dividend of go per cent was paid on the liabilities of the Mer- chants and Mechanics Bank of Ar genta, which is in the hands of the commissioner, and another dividend will be paid later
