MAJEL COBB DIES
Nine Year Old Daughter of Mir, and
 Mrs, c. $. Cobb Died Thursday.

The town was shocked Thursday af- ternoon when it was announced that Majel, the nine year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. C. S. Cobb of this city was dead She was ill but two or three days and was in school the first of the week. The trouble was pronounced by Dr. Phillips, the attending physi- elan, to be scarlet fever. So rapidly did the disease develop toward the last that all members of the family could not be summoned before she had passed away, The funeral was con ducted Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the open air in front of the resi- dence by Rev. s. K. Burnett, Numer- ous tokens of beautiful flowers bore testimony from loving friends.
 Majel was bright child with a loving disposition which had endeared her to all. She will be sadly missed in the home and by her many little friends. The body was laid to rest in the Ashdown Cemetery Friday after noon.

RECORD SUM PAID CUT
$1,437,704.0f Transferred From State
 School Funds to 65 Counties.

Little Rock, Sept 8.--A total of s1,- 437,704.04, the largest sum ever paid out in single day in the history of the state treasury, was paid yesterday to 65 county treasurers from the con- mon school fund. The largest single payment. also a record transaction in the state treasurers office, was the payment to the American Bank of Commerce and Trust Company of Lit tie Rock of $828,185.26 in settlement of school funds and Forest Reserve funds which the American Bank of Commerce is handling for its cores pendent banks. This sum is little less than 50 per cent of the school and Forest Reserve funds handled by the state treasurer
 There are 10 counties which have not asked for their quota of the school funds, leaving $307,31s.2S yet to be paid, out of tn $1,744,103.32 which constituted the state school tax this year.

 Through cooperation in buy ing and selling a great deal has already been accomplished in our county, but more can be done if we put our organization on a better basis. If you want to produce better; if you want to save money in making your crops; if you want to find out how to prepare your crops for market; if you want to make money by marketing together, come to this meeting and help.

RECEIVER IS ASKED FOR
 M., D, & G. RAILROAD
Hearing is Being Held Before Judge YOumans at Ft. Snith-Seryice Still at StandstiII.

Four St. Louis banks have asked that a receiver be appointed for the M, D. & G., and the hearing on the applica- tion was set for Friday and is being heard before Judge Youmans at F't. Smith. Judge Lon T. Jones of this city left Thursday night for that city to be at the hearing. While it is con templated that the road will be sold by the receiver, the towns along the route are going to make an effort to have the road continue operation during the re- ceivership. It is understood that the road gravel contractor will offer to operate the road and take care of the der that trey may continue to deliver gravel to the roads. Road district No, 8 in this county is being delayed, and Judge Jones will represent the dis trict in pleading for operation on that basis, J.. W. Bishop, Chas. Dodson, and Martin Walsh are each spoken of as receiver, and an effort will be made to secure one of these men.
 There is also hearing before the Arkansas Corporation Commission to force the road to continue operation set for Friday. H. H. Orton and o. Kolb of this city are in Little Rock be- fore this commission A temporary or der has been issued to the road to continue operation pending the hear ing. As yet there has been no result. The men refuse to work under the terms proposed by the road, while the road officials are advertising for men on scale of wages named.
 It is believed here that the road will be sold to some other interests or road, and. all local efforts are centered in getting the road to continue operation on some basis pending the interval that must ensue. Officials of the road state and give figures to show why they cannot operate with monthly deficit of some $20,000 and with no reserve fund to absorb this deficit.

70 COUNTIES SETTLE
School Census Shows Big Increase
 Over Last Year.

Little Rock, Sept. 9.-Up to last night, 70 of the counties, had drawn their school fund from the State Treasury, according to the apportion- ment made by the State Board last Monday. The counties which have not drawn were Baxter, Garland, Hot Springs, Poinsett and Union.
 The total enumeration of children of school age this year was 676,009, as
 compared with 663,229 last year. The total amount of funds apportion- ed was $1,756,942.91 this year as com pared with $1,731.5S5.OO last year. The per capita for the present apportion- ment is $2.58 as compared with $2.62 last year. One couse for the reduced per capita is the fact that the legis!a- ture of 1919 provided that the funds derived from the sale of sixteenth section land be paid into the perma- nent school fund instead of the com mon school fund. It is believed that this was legislative oversight and that it was not intenced this change should be made.

COTTON BADLY DAMAGED
Excessive Pains and Cool Nights In.
 iUre Staple in Sebastian.

Ft Smith, Sept. S-Cotton grow CTS and cotton buyers today became considerably alarmed over the condi- tions that face the cotton crop in this section. Because of continued rain, it is feared the crop has been con- siderably injured, and the continued outlook for more rain forecasts great CT damage. Reports from through out the Fort Smith trade territory are to the effect that the rains have been excessive and that the nights have been too cool. Prior to the wet season the prospects indicated the best and largest crop of cotton in the history of this section, but within the space of a few days the outlook has changed to most gloomy one.

 IN RCaD EUILDENe Increase in Rates Will Cost Roads for Gravel and Sand From $900
 to $1200 Per Mile.

Little Rock, Sept. 9-A serious cri- sis is now being faced by all the Road Districts within the State that have al- ready contracted and already beghn or will begin construction of roads based on the present Railroad freight rates on road building material Where the road haul is short the freight is at least 75 per cent and on longer hauls 100 per cent to 120 per cent of the cost of the material FOB. desti- nation under present raues. The con- troversy now in the United States Court as between the Railroads and the separate districts using material
 which is necessary to be shipped by railroad brought about by the appli- cation of Railroads operating in intra- state commerce to the Arkansas Cor poration Commission for an advance on all classes and commodities of 35 per cent making no exception. Owing to an act passed by the General As scmbly in 1919 known as Act 185 wher-
 by the statutory rates wre fixal on
 material suitable for road building such as crushed stone, sand and grav- el. The Arkansas Corporation Con- mission granted the advance asked for by the railroads on all other classes and commodities than road building material ruling that they have no jurisdiction and could not make any order as the statute controls the rate and that they had no power over
 rates, rules or regulations when fixed
 by state statutes. The carriers in anti
 cipation of such decision by the Arkansas Corporation Commission had some time previous to filing their pe- tition made application to the United States District Court for an injunction restraining the State and the Corpora tion Commission from putting into effect and applying rates as fixed by Act 1855. Attorneys representing the
 Road Commissioners appeared before the court on August 25th and tempo
 rary restraining order was issued eff ective August 31. Such temporary re- straining order, subject of course, be- fore being made permanent to future hearing where the case will be gone into on it's own merits.
 Reduced concretely 1t will mean in dollars and cents to the Road Districts not less than $90O to $12O0 per mile of road if the carriers succeed in ob-
 taining permanent injunction against the statutory rates and will figure not
 less than one and one quarter million dollars additional freight on those dis tricts now under construction and at , least twice that amour. to the road
 to be built.
