Cemetery Affairs.

The Trustees of the Crescent City
Cemetery Association are feeling
some what disheartened over the re-
Tctance which many of the members
feel to paying the annual assessment
af two dollars. The treasurer's
hooks show that not one-half the
nonmbors have paid the assessment
his wear and a smaller proportion
,,aid Inst wear. Some of these reluc-
FAINT ones have stated that they ana
not expect to pay twice over for their
io+s " others, that they have not seen
Tho improvements they looked for and
therefore are not interested in maui
mo ont money for nothing"

,,nmaI assessment they are paying

DEATH CLAIMS KINDLY
"GRANDPA' NORTON
Passed Away Monday Even
ing-Never ReGained
Consciousness.

Last week The News told of the IA
tai illness with which Crescent City's
grand old man, Mr. Willis J. Norton,
had been stricken on Friday, July
21st.
Because of his great age, together
with the nature of the attack, it was
safe to predict that his death must
necessarily soon follow.
1t was a stroke; a blood clot formed
on his brain and he was unconscious.
He fingered until Monday evening,
July 3lgt, when he breathed his last.
During all this time he never regain
ed consciousness, never spoke a word,
though loved ones who lowered near
maintain that at times there were
brief periods when the mists cleared
from his mind and that he recognized
them. One Of these times was when
his aged wife was leaning over him
and spoke to him; his eyes opened for
moment and he raised his arm and
placed it around her neck. Just for a
moment, then his eyes closed and he
lapsed again into Inconsistencies.
From Thursday July 9th to the
hour of his death he took no nourish-
ment-iust lived on the remnants Of
the stronq. constitution which had en-
sbled him to live and eniov life
through nearly ninety years.

BAPTIST EDITOR ON
 THE POLL TAX DEAL
E. !. A. Mckinney Declares Some Sheriffs Need Investigation, as
 Well aS AuditOr'S Office.

Little Rock, Feb. 26.ln the cur rent issue of the Baptist Advance ap- pears the following statement. signed by E. J. A. Mckinney, editor:
 gro those who may be looking for some word relative to the investiga- tion of blank poll tax receipts for las. year by MT. Oliver in company with me and MT. Crawford, only wish to say here that unless was blind and deaf. and very forgetful as to the things that transpired, the statements of MT. Oliver and MT. Coffman are correct, and those of MT. Stoddard are not. We are simply re- ferring to what transpired while we were in the auditors office. Evi- dently several thousand blank poll tax receipts of last year are gone, and 1t is hard to conceive that they are gone for any purpose except for illegal election purposes. some sheriffs need to be investigated as we'll as this matter in the state audi tors office"
 The Mir. crawford referred to is T. U. Crawford, formerly reporter or the Arkansas supreme court. In com pany with MT. Oliver. after having learned that many of the poll tax re- eeipts. which should have been de- stroyed by the auditor, were in circn- lation. They demanded to see the records. pr. Dickinson was out. but his man Wna. stnddard was on guard, and he was unable to find a key to fit the desk in which the stubs or these books were kept. He said Dr. Dickinson had the key.
 After going over the capitol ana gathering several dozen keys, one was found that unlocked the desk. ,Stofidard,s face fell many degrees when he saw that he could no longer block the investigation.
 Dr. Dickinson, when informed or the investigation. said he never had q Key. and that Coffman possessed II. Coffman was the clerk in that depart ment. sCoffman claims to have given the key to Dickinson in Stoddard's rresence. Both have blank memories on this transaction.
 Aside from what was dlscovereu bv the investigators, the actions ol the department officials, and the d,i- ferent and conflicting stories told py them. the investigators were led to believe they had only started 10 uh- cover things in the office.
