There has been a lot of talk and

CIGARETTE
 SALES LICENSED
SENATE PASSES BILL THAT WOUL REPEAL PRESENT
 DEAD LETTER LAW.

The senate went on record yesterday afternoon as fayoring the repeal of Arkansas dead letter anti-cigarette law when, by d vote of 20 to II, it pass cd the Johnston n-Thompson-C Ccott- Deiscb measure which provides for licensing the sale of cigarettes.
 Charges by opponents of the meas ure that the repeal bill seeks to license an evir' were met with the flat charge of Senator Owens of Pulaski county that the original bill was lobbied through the Arkansas legislature by a single big tobacco company, and that it's sole purpose was to put rival com pany out of business. However, the ef- feet of the war which brought ciga- rettes out of semi-hiding and into al most universal use was manifested in the lack of oratory on the alleged evils of the habit, and although the passage of the measure was opposed by almost a third of the Senate, the opposition was comparatively light.

Accuses Tobacco Company.

One of the most comprehensive ad dresses by proponents of the measure was made by Senator Owens, who held that the existing law does not repre- sent the will of majority, and that it is the result of lobbying maneuvers conducted by tobacco company.
 Ut is generally conceded that the cigarette is no more injurious than any other form of tobacco" the senator de clared, and as authority for this sta te- ment, can quotn some of the most em- inent medical authorities in the United States. Cigarettes are being sold, more or less openly, throughout Arkansas There is demand for them which, to- gether with the demand for tobacco generally, is growing. In my opinion the state wants the business of selling cigarettes Iegalized, and lifted from its present 'bootlegging' status
 Senator Woods said that he used to- bacco, but that he would be in favor of a national law prohibiting the use of it in any form as physically injurious. The opposite view was taken by Sena- tor Thompson, who declared, "I have cmoked cigarettes for 60 years and they haven't hurt me If I found tobacco in- furious I would stop using it." Senator | rI,At, IA hnf hA q alnr want the law, and that they had no ob- jeetion to paying the licenses.
 Senator Stewart declared that the existing law is generally ignored and that it cannot be enforced. Senator Walls said that he did not use tobacco in any form, but he had had legal ex- perence with the anti-cigarette law in the courts and knew that it was a nuisance"
 One of the heaviest attacks on the proposed repeal bill was made by Sena- | tor Barnes, who declared that the com
 bustion of the tobacco and paper was l nothing less that ideally poison.' Senator Barnes said that the church organizations are universally opposed
 to the sale of cigarettes, and that the sale also is opposed by almost every mother In Arkansas"
 This argument was met by Senator Wilson of Union county, who called at tention to the fact that thousands of Arkansas mothers purchased and sent cigarettes to their sons in the army during the war and that cigarettes were isued to the soldiers as part of their daily ration. Senator Roddy also fay- ored tle measure on the ground that the proposed law makes it easier to reach and punish dealers who sell to minors which, under present laws, is almost impossible. Senator Johnston closed the argument in favor of the bill with the statement that ciga re'.es

 In the passing of Colonel Hamby,

 if beloved town and county, where
 his name is spoken in reverence by all 1 those who knew him.

Work is Suspended.

Work was stopped today at the first showing of the oil because of lack of casing. The we'll was drilled as an open hole and it was imperative that work be stopped immediately until the we'll is cased. An order for the casing has been placed and it is expected here in couple of days. It will be set as soon as it arrives and an effort to bring in the we'll will follow. It is estimat- ed that the work of setting the casing, with time allowance for the cement to harden, will require about 10 days
 The we'll is located on what is known as the Shaver place, which is owned by w. E. Clark and J. K. Moore of Strong. The owners and the drilling company, the Homer-El Dorado compa- ny are opera ting on the 5O-50 basis. It was to Mir Clark that the driller report ed his finding of oil today.
 Mir Clark said tonight that he had not been at the we'll today, but that the driller had told him the oil show ing followed the penetration of rocky formation and the entrance of stratr um of sandy shale.. The oil came up with this shale. He said that for about POO hundred feet above the rock the drill was in lime and chalk. He said that it had been planned that the cas- ing would be set at just about the depth at which oil showed, which is 2,199 feet.
 c. c. Clark, cousin of the owner of the farm, was at the well today soon after the showing was made He said that at his request the pumps were started and run for five minutes with the result of liberal showing of oil in the slush pit
 Driller Kinney this afternoon tele- graphed Pat O'Brien of Shreveport. president of the company, to come here at once. Bob Kinney, also drilling expert, arrived tonight from Sh:eye- port and will aid in the work of setting
