SCRIP RESISTANCE
ORDER Is ENTERED
MAY 4 LAST DAY TO FILE
ALL FAULKNER COUNTY WAR
RANTS ARE CALLED IN FOR
RE-ISSUANCE.

AS forecasted in a statement made
through the Log Cabin Democrat
about two weeks ago, County Judge
j. w. Holt today made an order of
county court calling in all outstanding
warrants of Faulkner county for the
purpose of inspection, cancellation and
reissuance Under the terms of the
order all scrip not filed at the court
house for this purpose on or before
May 4, the first Monday in that
month, will be barred and will be
without value. The purpose of the
reissuance is to ascertain the legality
of all warrants and the true indebted
ness of the county.
Although it is within the power of
county court to make such an order
annually, the reissuance will be the
second in the history of the county
and the first since 1897, when SINH
lar order was made by then county
judge, the late G. w. Rice.
The order of the court will be for
mally published in both county news
papers throughout the time for filing
and the sheriff will also post copies
of the courts order at each precinct
in the county. The following is a
copy of the courts order:
