VOTES 12.MILL SPOOL TAX
Most School Districts Vote the Limit
 for Better Schools.

Little Rock, May 20.-(SpeciaD = Tt is most hopeful sign, said State Superintendent J. L. Bond, in com menting upon the returns that are coming from all parts Of the state showing that there has been a great unanimity of sentiment in voting the full limit of twelve mills for school purposes, T am delighted and pleased with the situation. Even though rates of taxation are high and conditions are abnormal. the people as rule have shown their willingness to vote the limit for schools"
 For instance, Harrison reported 97 votes for the 12 mill tax, and four votes for the mill tax. One rural district in Pulaski county voted un- animously for twenty mills, and the county clerk is puzzled to know what rate to certify, as twelve mills is the maximum under the law.

A FAMILY
 MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draught. Relief From Head-
 ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

RinggoH, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact. it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home, when I was child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted we'll, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it., for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of Black Draught when not so well saves a lot of days In bed"
 Thedford's Black-Draught has beer In use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys Is proof of it's merit.
 If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagree. able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result.
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It Is purely vegetable. and acts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to it's proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed- lords. the original and genuine. E a

Toward the latter end of the week farmers were beginning to venture out into the dry places and begin cultiva
 ton again. Old nature has a way of tearing down and wiping out the work and fond hopes of man in a very short time, and then old nature by the aid of mans sweat has way of making things come right again. We often hear the expression, Give us two
 weeks of sunshine and we will for get that this thing ever happened y This may be going a little strong, but it is a fact that things would look a great deal better than they do now. Give us two weeks and a once over with blow and you will discard your blue lensed glasses, You will at least hear no more of this third of crop talk After all, what is a hun dreG per cent crop? Did you ever see one? We never did We have seen lot of what might be called~good averages. How much of crop may
 we hope to get yet? We'll, we can contribute the maximum amount of hustle and the balance is up to the seasons True many fine farms on Red River are under water, but only a small percentage are in that condi- tion. And don't forge. that these river lands have a habit of starting in with late crop and coming strong in the end The cotton will be shorter to be sure over the entire South. That ought to mean better prices. There is
 time to make bigger hay crop, and that means more cotton will stay at home. It is not a time for boasting, neither is it time for being dis courageG either.
