LACK OF FUDS IS
 HANDICAP TO ANTIS
Sunday, August 27, Set Apart as Prohibition Day in State Every Pastor is Requested to Preach on the Subject.

The campaign against the repeal of the statewide prohibition law is be- ginning to assume shape. Lack of funds is handicapping the League in its work, whereas the opposition ap- pears to have plenty of funds at it's disposal.
 Sunday, Aug. 27, has been set apart as Prohibition Sunday throughout the state. Every pastor is requested to preach on the subject, showing the efforts that are being made to repeal not only the statewide act, but all other acts for the regulation of the liouor business, and substituting the Ohio law. It is also requested that at the same service, a collection be taken for the support of the state campaign, the same to be sent to Col. George Thornburgh, president of the League.
 This is to be followed Sept. 12 by a state rally at Little Rock, under the auspices of the League, and delegates from all churches and temperance or ganizations are expected to attend.

NO BUSINESS IN
 BANKRUPT COURT
Merchants Buying More Goods Than Ever-Prices Are High er-Collections Reported Bet ter and Trade Satisfactory.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-If the bank rupt courts may be accepted as an index to prosperity, Arkansas has not been so prosperous in many years. All citizens like to boost business and tell how good it is, but this is one business that makes them glad when ever it slumps clear out of sight. Merchants are buying more and bet ter goods at higher prices, collections are better and trade generally is ali that could be desired.
 w. S. Allen, clerk of the United States court, with whom all bank ruptcy petitions are filed for this dis trict, says that there is no business whatever in bankruptcy, that he never saw it so slow. There have been times when it was one of the chief sources of his receipts, but not so now. Naturally, similar report is made by Judge C. C. Waters, referee in bankruptcy.

ALLIES ARE BENT
 BACK FAR EAST
On SalOniki Front, Both Allied Wings Are Bent Backward by Bulgarians-Center is Holding Little Activity in West.

London, Aug. 22-Both allied wings on the Salonild front, where the sol- diers of at least seven nations are in battle, have been bent back by the Bulgarians. In the center, however, where the allies maintain forces, gains are being made to the Vardar valley. Paris reports important advances. Nothing is said about the Russian or Italian share in the fighting and no information has been given as to their strength. The Serbs apparently have been the heaviest losers and have been forced back on their eX- treme left about five miles from the Serbian-Greek frontier.
 They claim, however, continued pro- gress on the other sector of their front. On the allied right the Brit lsh and French who had crossed the Struma towards the Bulgarian from tier have been forced back on the river.
 On the western front there has been little change The British con- tinue their efforts to surround Thiep- val and report the capture of 100 yards of German trenches in the direc- tion of Marinpuch. There has been no action of importance on the French sector.
 For several days meagre Russian reports have insisted that nothing of importance has occurred in the east Brelin describes very heavy fighting both. on the Stokhod and in the Car pathians. An interesting feature of the Russian official statement is the intimation that Grand Duke Nicholas again is pressing his offensive in the Caucasus. For the last two days Petrograd has emphasized the fight ing around Diarbekr but no important change has occurred
 London claims a heavy blow against Germany on the sea. The British sub marine .E-23 reports having attacked an 1S,600 ton German battloship and the submarines commander believes he sank it.
 There is no news from the Italian front where a Hull has existed for sev- eral days.

OUTSTANDING INDEBT-
 EDNESS WIPED OUT
About S25O.0O0 Actual Cash in State Treasury-Arkansas' Finances Better Now Than for Several Years.

The Arkansas State treasury Is again on Easy Street. The outstand- ing indebtedness was wiped out this week, and there is in the neighbor- hood of $250,000 in actual cash in the general revenue fund. Last year, the lowest ebb of the outstanding war rant indebtedness was about S25,000 on Aug. 26, after which it gradually increased again. This year there will be enough money to carry the state for several months. The states fin ances have not been in so good a con- dition in several years. Why it is so lis a question for the politicians and the statesmen. There will be differ ent opinions about it, and the people may take their choice. One thing is certain, and cannot he denied if Gov. 'G W. Hays had not vetoed several hundred thousand dollars in appro- priations, the state would not be out of debt at this time.

MARKET CONTINUES
 STEADY IN N. Y.
Moderate Reactions Hurt But Little-ClOse 1 to : Points Up Dry Weather in Southwest Promoted the Demand.

New York, Aug. 22.-An early ld- vance to 14.93c for December con tracts in cotton met increased offer ings today and there were moderate reactions with December selling off tc 14.77c and closing at l481c. The general list closed steady at a net ad- vance of to points.
 There was a renewal of the buying movement which had been in progress late- yesterday at the opening this morning and first prices were 6 to IT points higher. Firmness in Liverpool and the continued dry weather in the Southwest promoted the demand, which carried October and January contracts more than half a cent above the closing quotations of Saturday. Realizing was very heavy at this level while there were rumors of increased Southern selling and also that min hedges were being Gquidated around the ring. This promoted reactionary sentiment, while scattered selling was also encouraged by an idea that cooler weather indicated for Oklahoma might cause showers of sufficient importance to relieve the drouthy conditions.
 The official Western belt forecast held out no definite promise of rain, however, and after reactions of some ' or s points, the market frmed uo

NELSON ]. CARL0Ck
 DIED LAST WEEK.

There are many of the older citizens who recall a rugged character from the mountains of Madison county Tn the State Senate of 1899 1901. Nel- son J. Carlock was then advanced in years, but he was looked upon as 8 power in the senate because of his sturdy honesty and frmness of his convictions. He came from humble conditions and returned to the same. After his retirement from the senate, he was not prominent in public af- fairs. He lived his life with honor, won the respect of his neighbors, and last week passed to his eternal re- ward.

OFBATE ON MONEY
 BILL WAS BEGUN
With Submission of Figures By Simmons and Charges By Smoot, Senate is Busy-SmOOt ys. Simmons.

Washington, Aug. 22.-With Sen o+or Simmons. chairman of the finance committee, submitting figures de- signed to disprove republican charges of democratic extravaganza and Sena- tor Shoot, republican finance expert, asserting that the democratic party should be convicted of attempt to nrocure votes under false pretenses, general debate on the $205,000,000 emergency revenue bill began today in the senate.
 There were indications on every hand of partisan battle royal to be waged for several days. Insisting that national defense, preparedness and the Mexican situation was alto gether responsible for the necessity of special revenue legislation and a proposed bond issue, Senator Sim mons declared republicans in congress had clamored for even greater ex- penditures for defense and having done this were seeking partisan ad- vantage by making false charges of democratic eXtravagance to the pub lie.
 Senator Shoot opening the republi- can assault on the revenue bill, said if the democratic party were to be retained in control of the government, the country would suffer an era O. unequalled extravaganza combined with ineficiency unsurpassed"
 To prove his contention that normal appropriations of this session are not excessive, Senator Simmons submit ted department estimates for the year 1917 showing that excluding postal appropriations, bond issues already authorized and amounts tha will not be expended revenues must be pro- vlded for disbursement of $1,126,243,- = OOO Of this amount the total appro- pration for national defense would aggregate about S654.000. .000 and the Senator submitted other figures to prove that this extraordinary amount due to preparedness and the Mexican emergency exceeded normal defense appropriations by about S372 .2S0, ,O00.
 Senator Smuot asserted that the Democratic party had not kept the pledges of rerynchment and economy and charged it with "wasteful and useless expenditures too 'ong for enumeration"
 If We could bring the Democratic party into a court of justice and indict and try that party under the rules of laW'' sad the Utah senator, "the evi- aenee that could be submitted would De more than adequate to convict it o' procuring votes under false pre- tense'
