SAYS FAULKNER CROP
 IS BEST IN SOUTH
GINNERS' ASSOCIATION EXECU- TIVE ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
 COUNTS PROSPECT.


 That Faulkner county has the best prospects for a cotton crop he has seen in his travels over the entire cotton belt is the statement of Weigh Cockrum of Memphis, president of the Ginners Association, who is here to- day attending a district meeting of the ginners of Faulkner and Conway counties. Your county made bum per crop last year, but 1 believe it will exceed that by at least 10 per cent this year." MT. Cockrum said this morning. He stated that crop conditions are badly spotted over the belt, but he has seen no such prospects for a perfect crop as he has found in this county.
 The district giners meeting was convened at 1 o'clock this afternoon with S. w. Shock of Enola, district president, presiding. Among the ob- jects of the organization are the pur- chase of bagging and ties direct from the factory, the carrying of mutual fire insurance and the abolition of the ginning agents of the census bureau with payment to the ginners for send ing in their reports direct to the bureau

SAY MINING BOARD
 PETITIONS ILLEGAL
INJUNCTION SUIT AGAINST
 SECRETARY ALLEGES TOO FEW SIGNERS.

Little Rock, July 17.-In the min- ing board case e. c. Woodson and A. L. Gotham vs. Earle w. Hodges, sec retary of state), in the chancery court, the amended complaint was fil- ed yesterday, by which the plaintiffs seek to enjoin Secretary Hodges from transmitting copy of the proposed measure to the attorney general and having it published for 30 days in one newspaper in each county of the state.
 The plaintiffs allege that the names appearing on the 439 separate peti- tions do not represent eight per cent of the legal voters of the state based on the whole number of votes cast for governor at the last general election.
 The petitions are represented to have about 16,000 signatures, but the plaintiffs allege that the number does not exceed 5000.
 They further allege that the peti- tions circulated in Miller county con- taining 143 names, which were veri- fled by R. H. Higginbotham, should not be considered because the names were not verified according to law.

TAX COMMISSION IS
 ASSESSING RAILROADS

Little Rock, July 17.-The State Tax Commission is working on the as- sessment of the railroad properties of the state It is anonunced that pol icy has been adopted to assess them about as they were last year, making no increases except where there is shown an actual increase in valuation by reason of new trackage or other property.
 Most of the roads this year are showing no profit, due, according to their statements, to increased cost of labor and reduced rates. The Kansas City Southern shows slight increase in earnings so far as it's lines in Ar kansas is concerned, and the Iron Mountain probably appears on the right side of the ledger, but many of the smaller roads show an actual de- felt. Among these the Jonesboro, Lake City and Eastern, which reports a deficit of $45, ,137.26.

ONLY ONE-THIRD OF
 GENERAL REVENUE PAID
AUDITOR ESTIMATES DEFICIT WILL BE REDUCED TO $50,-
 900 AUGUST 1.

Little Rock, July 17.-Just one third of the sheriffs of the state have made their settlements with the audi tor for the taxes of 1913. The out standing indebtedness of the state is being cut down slowly, and at the close of business yesterday it amount ed to $343,638.03.
 State Auditor Coffman estimates that when all the collectors have set tied, by August l, the indebtedness will have been reduced to about $50,- 900. From that time until revenue begins again in January, the state will run on credit, and MT. Coffman estimates that by the time the legis- lature meets the states indebtedness will be probably more than $30O,OOO.
 From the general revenue now be- Ing received, $54, 1000 must be used in having back to the sinking fund a loan made by. the 1913 legislature to pay mileage and per diem. There re- mains in the treasury to the credit of the legislature about $12,000 which will be enough to start the session, and when that is exhausted, the law makers will undoubtedly have re- course again to the sinking fund.
 In addition to the funds being turn ed in by the county collectors, the franchise tax, now being paid, is yielding about $100,000 for the gen eral revenue.

SEPTIC TANK IS
 WORKING NICELY
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
 Examination was made by Engineer G. H. Burr yesterday of the large septic disposal tank located in the southeastern corner of the city, in which the sewerage from the greater portion of Conway has been emptied for tic past two months. The tank was found to be in perfect working or der, the outflow being clear and prac- tically odorless. A specimen of the liquid discharged from the tank was hibition in a window at the Greeson drug store.
 Contrary to an opinion apparently held by many, no chemical or other substance is used to purify the sew age. The process in the tank in which the sewage is received is bacteriolog- cal action, in which the sewage is at tackled by countless billions of minute organisms and in "A hours all solids are completely dissolved, leaving clear, harmless liquid, which is con- veyed to drainage ditch to be carried off. Where the tanks are properly constructed it is stated that there is nothing offensive or detrimental to- health about them.
 The other disposal tank, located' southwest of the city limits, is now in, operation and connections with the: sewer system are being rapidly made throughout the city.

NOT WISE TO
 TAKE CAl0MEL


 Dotlson's Liver Tone is just as sure in results and always safe, pleasant in taste. and has mo bad after effects. As a remedy for torpid liver calomel has more than met.its match in Dod- sons Liver Tone This medicine does not roughly force the liver on to per form it's work. It acts gently but surely.
 Calomel depends fo rits power up- on exciting the liver to do more work, and often the liver is too weak to stand such treatment, and after talk ing calomel you are as result some times worse off than before.
 Dodson's Liver Tone cannot cause any of the dangerous effects that oft en follow the use of calomel It IS entirely vegetable and pleasant to the taste. and is suitable for children and grown people. ..,

The Reformer along with other

tering hearts among the supreme and
superio, judges OF the state as a re-
suit of the governors apparent inten-
ton TO change the personnel of the
bench. but when one gives serious
consideration 10 the situation tire
question arises whether il is not re
flection on the dignity of the judiciary
CT Vermont to have offers of Judge
ship appointments given the publicity
they have eceived.-Brattlebor Re
former,
On the other hand it is often true
that if proposed appointments are
discussed in advance serious errors
are prevented. Because of the power
with which judges are invested they
get undue attention in the public
mind As a matte- of fact the Ordi-
nary judge is Just an ordinary citizen
who has been given a place of ex-
ccptional importance. II requires less
real ability to be judge than to be a
first class merchant. and infinitely less
than to build up a successful manu-
featuring enterprise. 1t takes more
versatility and a broader and keener
ability to be a successful trial lawyer
in important causes than to be -
Judge in an ordinary state court We
have had judges in Vermont who
lacked not only in legal ability and in
ordinary horse sense. We have had
judges strong in legal lore and def
cient in othei qualifications and vice
versa: we probably shall have to
the end Of the chapter. 1t is only at
rare intervals that Vermont or any
other state is fortunate enough to Sc
cure the services OF a really great
Judge There is a tendency on the
part of lawyers to magnify the attain.
ments and importance of judges and
there are probably a few people who
take this buncombe seriously. You
will find the same tendency on the
part of editors to unduly dignity their
profession. Possibly the worst Of
tenders Of all are the ministers who
,eally almost convince themselves
that their chief pastors are special
agents of the Almighty instead Of
being merely poor struggling humans
like the rest of us. The courts and
the judges have the whip hand over
the rest of us and because of this
fact there is often a tendency to give
them more credit and to yield them
more -everence than they deserve
1t is an absurd notion but We have
brought it on ourselves and therefore
we deserve no special sympathy.
