 Thus far the sales tax is succeeding beyond the most sangune eXpecatlons|of its proponents Business houses generally report little objection the payment of the Merchants who the most faithfully carrying the pro

 the enforcement of their agreement have in the past few days assured the sales tax commission of their purpose hereafter to permit no further evasions in their stores.
 The fact is that than three forhs of the people in the district heartily in favor of this any other feasible plan that will keep the public school from closing and nat ulay inclined to place their business with houses which they believe are Loyalty supporting the sales tax
 There is small minority that is opposed to the sales tax

It would have been miracle indeed if plan could have been devised that would meet with unanimous approval But good citizens of democratic country these people ought to be willing, the face of what is unquesonaby the sentiment of very large majority of the district lay aside their ob jections and join in the support of the present plan

YOUNG MEN RELEASED
Took Car From Home, but Are Allow. ed to Continue Tour.

Texarkana, Aug. 24,-kenneth Hoag and Robert Hicks, the two young men from Ann Arbor, Mich., who were ar rested Sunday by the Arkansas side police, were released yesterday and continued their journey to New Mex ico, Colorado and other Western points of interest. Their release was the re- suit of other telegrams this morning from the Ann Arbor officers and the fathers of the young men asking that they be allowed to go.
 The boys had a sedan automobile in which they made the journey from Michigan here. The car belonged to Hoag's father and had been taken without his knowledge, and he thought when advised of their arrest here that someone was impersonating his son. AS soon as he found out tha, the son really was in charge of the ca, he wired to have him released.

WEATHER PRETTY HOT
Army Worms Are Working on Cotton
 This Week.

(By c. F. Marmin, Chief Reporter)
 Little Rock, Aug. 26.-(SpeciaD D- Temperatures during the past week have been rather high, the mean for the week being about f or , degree above normal. In most sections the rainfall was light and the sunshine abundant a condition favorable for cotton. Army worms are increasing in east central sections, the damage from them thus far being moderate but it is believed that their destroying the leaves on cotton may be beneficial in that the sun shining more directly on the bolls will aid in exterminating weevil which are continuing rather ac- tive despite the hot dry weather. Shedding is reported in the North east and the condition of the crop var ies from poor in southern and south eastern counties to satisfactory in the northeastern where, despite the weevil and shedding there IS still prospect for a good crop.
 Late corn improved and it's condition is satisfactory to very good.

As we get it, this move has been started by c. e. Henderson, w. w. Brown, c, w. Dodson and A. c. Ram sey. the proposition being for the orig inal owners of the property to sub scribe to fund and to make the bid for the property so high that it would not pay anyone to buy the rails and equipment for junk.
 IT the men referred to will kick in ill proportion to the salaries and ex- pense accounts they drew from this property for a number of years, the proposition can probably be put over; ; but this time they are going to have to put in real money, as promoting" will not serve at this critical stage in the game. We understand that the subscription lists are opened, and the people will be, permitted to subscribe to it" for the purpose of saving this valuable property.
