 Thank you very much for yours in reply to our letter of the 17th. We note that you have made the usual prompt remittance on the Ash down Water and Sewer Bonds.

ECHO OF "yICE" MEETING
Texarkaua City Council Takes Re-
 sDOnsibi,ity for Booming Houses.

Texarkana, Oct. 25.-At it's semi monthly meeting last night, the City Council on the Texas side unanimous ly passed an ordinance taking from the chief of police the authority to license rooming houses, vesting the authority in the City Council.
 It is said that the real purpose of the ordinance is to assist in the move ment to drive commercialiZed vice from the city It has been charged that the Police Department has taken too liberal a view of the vice evil for several years, and that rooming house licenses as now issued are, in many cases, licenses to operate houses of prostitution. In many instances, it is said, well known women of the for mer "red light" district are owners and operators of the rooming houses.
 A mass meeting was held several weeks ago, at which Judge Turner of the Criminal District Court denoun- ced the Police Department, but noth- ing came of it at the time. Last nights action of the City Council is regarded as an echo of the mass meet ing.

CHANGES SENTENCE OF NEGRO
Sentence of Cross County Negro Com
 muted to Life Imprisonment.

Little Rock, Oct. Ex-Governor Me Rae yesterday committed to life i'm prisonment the sentence of Offie Nors- worthy, Cross county negro, whose dates of execution for first degree murder had been set for tomorrow
 The governor said that he had been influenced principally by letter from T. W. Davis of Wynne, who was prosecuting attorney at the time of Norsworthy's trial and who wrote that the ends of ustice would be ade- quately met by a prison term rather than execution. MT. Davis wrote that the negro probably should have been convicted of second degree murder, had he been represented by a good lawyer at his trial. It is said that Norsworthy's attorney left the state during the pendency of his case, af- ter tuc IcCuIu OA IAC 'SANANS AA 'AS trial court and the imposition of the death sentence.
 The case never came before the Su- preme Court on it's merits, as the time for appeal was allowed to lapse. A death sentence set several weeks ago was passed when the negro's present attorneys sought in the Cross Chan cery Court to obtain an injunction against the execution The lower court refused to take jurisdiction, and the Supreme Court affirmed it's ac- tion.
 Norsworthy killed another negro, it is said, in a quarrel over blow. According to officials and others who had interested themselves in Nors- worthys behalf, it was not adequate ly brought out in the trial in the lower court that Noteworthy had had trouble with his victim, and that he shot and killed the other negro under the impression that his own life had been threatened.

Attention is Called tO
 Cotton Seed Situation
Dear MT. Graves:

Dear MT Graves:
 The following views may be of some information to cotton growers in this county:
 A very serious condition is now con- fronting growers of cotton. I refer to planting seed for the next crop. We are aware of the fact that a large DOT ton of the seed from this (the present crop will never germinate, due to the immature seed and because this seed is more or less diseased.
 It might be we'll for the growers to get busy and secure planting seed from the crop of 1920 or order seed from some county that has fully ma tured seed that is not infested with boil weevil. I do not think there is sufficient good, sound, pure planting seed at home for the 1922 crop. It is also important that we secure seed which will produce a healthy and ear ly plant. This is absolutely neces- sary under boil weevil conditions. We should remember that the best grade of seed generally produces the heaviest yield when picked This does net ap- ply to cotton, only, but is the case with corn, wheat, etc.
 Again, I want to repeat that it is very important that We plant sound seed. This sound and early variety can no doubt be found in some sections of the nearby cotton belt or where the crop is fully matured and where the seed has not been infected by the wee vii.
 I think the banks and merchants of this place are corresponding with dis tricts not infected with poor seed, but regardless of this it behooves every farmer that wants to reap the benefits to get busy himself and make the ne cesary provision for seed,
 Yours truly,
 A. GOLDSMITH

 The managers say that it was mo- ticeable in taking the loyalty poll" that men in those districts that were affected by the unofficial strike of 1920 are almost unanimous in their declaration of intention to remain at work. Willingness to take a chance on a strike has come from outside these districts the managers said.
 A telegram was received by the managers today from Bucknell Uni versity, Lewisburg, Pa, offering to close the university and to volunteer it's 600 students for the railroad work. Many other schools have made similar offers

ouoRuM COURT MAKES
 COUNTY APPROPRIATIONS
Won After Stormy Dls- cussion-Fistic Battle is Avertea
 in Courtroom,

The Little River County quorum Court met Wednesday afternoon at tue courthouse in this city in it's annual session and made the approprlatioiis and fixed the tax levees for expendl- tures and revenues for the coming year. The court was made up oi representative body of justices or tue neace. Many of them were new men ord had never served in that capaclty hofore and desired to have every move fullv explained that they may vote ii- +o1,ioant]v on all questions, especial 1v where money was involved. It was also proven beyond any reasonaole do,,bt that the court had some oratorl- cal talent aboard. In that it differed from the usual quorum court, WHICH listens to outside oratory and votes. This court had it's own orators to champion both sides of every ques- tion and at times the rafters of the building. were made to shake "l'h imnassioned eloquence. A good crowd of spectators were in attendance 'n- cluding several ladies.
 County Demonstration Wins
 The fight was over county demon stration, which after lively dlscus- sion and a. defeat on the first vote, hn- ally came from behind and won. The first vote on an appropriation for county agent resulted in tie of IL to ii. Judge McCord was called upon to cast the deciding vote and break the tie. The judge voted no and the pro ,,osit;on had failed on the first vote. It had been explained by District Agent Thatcher that new man would De furnished next year, and that he would see that a satisfactory man was em- nloved. He said that the job was big ger than any man. Various members of the court and others entered lnto the discussion. When the approprla- .tion came up for canning club agent fhe vote showed it's approval by vote of 15 to T. It was then that mo- tion was made to reconsider the vote on county agency. This provoked an- other discussion. The vote to recon sider carried and the vote for county agency won 13 to 9. No appropriation was made for colored demonstration, but the county agent will be instructed 5to look after the colored farmers.
 Judge Gets Angry.
 It was during the discussions over county appropriations that Judge Me- Cord took exceptions to some ques- tions being asked him by Justice E, H. Hollowell of Arden Township and an- nounced that court would be ad- journed for fifteen minutes while the matter was settled in a personal way. The judge left the bench and made toward where Mir. Hollowell was sitting. Justice T. B. Rieves and Sher- if Pierce intervened and court was re-
