COURT CANCELS
 SI8,700 IN SCRIP

Eighteen thousand seven hun dred dollars in Faulkner county war rants were cancelled in the office of County Treasurer J. R. Giddens to- day by County Judge J. w. Holt, who opened the October term of county court. This was said to be the larg- est amount ever cancelled at one time in this county.
 The court made an order in a hotly contested case, for the estab- lishment of new road leading from Hugh Langston's place, in school dis trict 52, Union township, west to the county line at Cadron creek. Owners of property through which the proposed road passes resisted the order and prayed an appeal to circuit court, which was granted. The al- lowance of accounts and settlements with road overseers constituted the only other business before the court today.

MRS. HOCCARD'S SLAYER
 MAY PLEAD INSANITY

Attorney Roy G. Bruce of this city went to Morrilton this morning to as sist in the prosecution of Tom Davis, negro, who on June 29 killed Mrs. Rebecca Hoggard of Blackville, a sis ter of Mrs. Nancy Potts of this city. Davis case comes before the grand jury today. Attorney Frank Hammett of Conway, subpoenaed as a witness in the case, also went to Morrilton today to appear before the grand jury. Davis has engaged an attorney, it is said, and will plead insanity when the case comes to trial, it is believed. He has been confined in the state peni- tentiary since the killing to prevent mob violence.

NEW TREASURER
 WILL NOT ACCEPT

Unless some patriot can be induced by Governor Hays to make the sacri- flee, there will probably be vacan- | cy in the office of treasurer of Faulk- ner county from October to No vember 30, when the new officers will be sworn in. Prof. J. R. Giddens' res ignation, effective the first named date, has been accepted by the gov ernor, who announced that he would appoint the Democratic nominee for the place, John Lindsey. When he | made this announcement, however, he had not consulted MT. Lindsey and it now develops that Mr. Lindsey will | decline the honor with thanks. He says he has crop to gather and has made no arrangements to enter upon the office until after the general elec- l tion
 Practically not a cent of commits
 sion will come to the treasurer dur
 ing the remaining weeks of the term,
 as all tax funds have already been received and the commission on them
 paid. But whoever takes the office
 will be required under the law to make a bond of $100,000 There is therefore nothing attractive about the position and some difficulty may be experienced in getting it filled. Treasurer Giddens said today he could not reconsider, as he had made his arrangements to leave the state and go to New Mexico for the health of his family next week. He said the matter of filling the vacancy was a problem for the governor to solve.
 Should the office remain vacant considerable inconvenience would be sustained by road overseers, school teachers and others who may have cash warrants drawn upon the treas ury. as there would be no one author ized to pay such warrants.

maxwell Makes Reduction in Prices.

Maxwell Makes keuuction III FfNcSs
Undoubtedly the most interesting an
nouncement for 1917, with regard to au-
tomobiles in the lower priced field,
comes from the Maxwell Motor Compa-
ny, Inc, Of Detroit. This announcement
is that the price on their touring car and
roadster is materially lowered. The
touring car is reduced from 1866 to 1896 |;
the roadster from $685. TO $3.50.
In This definite announcement OF sub
stantial reduction in price. the Maxwell
Company also announces that there will
be no change in the car. This confirms
all previous announcements that the Max
car is now standardized product.
Walter E. Flanders, president and gen.
eral manager of the Maxwell Company,
and the able corps OF engineering and
manufacturing experts he has gathered
around him are convinced that their pro-
duct has attained such uniform degree
of excellence that the necessity for rad
ical changes in design and construction
has been eliminated.
The change in Maxwell prices became
effective July |.
In explaining the reason for the big re-
duction in the price of Maxwell cars the
manufacturers declare that increased
production made il possible.
"The manufacturing cost per car has
been greatly reduced by our increased
production" said Mr.. Flanders. "Our
plants at Detroit, Dayton and Newcastle
have been taxed 10 their capacity to sup
Div the orders of our dealers. We have
made arrangements for the manufacture
of OO,OOO cars tor this year and we know
from the enthusiasm with which our 1916
announcement was received that this
number will be disposed OF easily. Ger
tainly no other car in this field can point
to the consistent performance behind the
1916 Maxwell. This car has given such
excellent satisfaction under all conditions
that we would not feel JUSTIFIED 10 change
it in any particular.
The same manufacturing policy will
obtain in the Maxwell plants, the standard
Maxwell chassis being used for five dir
ferent body designs. These designs in
clude a stream-line five-passenger tour
ing car, two-passenger roadster, two
passenger cabriolet, a six-passenger town
car and six-passenger sedan.
The National Highway Garage, OF Shep-
herdstown, handles the Maxwell cars,
and has now in stock both touring cars
and roadsters for immediate delivery.

THE jury that tried the case of VIM. L..
Abbott, of Pittsburg, against Governor
Henry D. Hatfield for $4,000 damages
in the United States Court at Charleston

plainly that Governor Hatfield had done
only what any decent man would have
done to recover property that had been
stolen fromhim. Abbottand companion
both of them travelling salesmen-took a
Bible belonging to the Governor, and
when they were caught with the book, after
denying that they had it, the Governor
took possession OF the property and

evidence, fhe Governor offered no vio-
lence the men nor did he do anything
that was not orderly and proper. The

in connection with it must be repugnant

ter wishes to record its disapproval OF
such an attempt TO malign and misrepre-
