DRILL LLERS HAVE TROUBLE
 ar THE SULLIVAN WELL
Casing is Fastened at 154O Feet and Efforts to Loosen Have Failed
 So Far.

The drillers began setting the casing in the Sullivan No. well at Foreman Monday afternoon, but when the 154O foot level had been struck the casing stuck and all efforts to lower or raise it have failed so far. It is thought that perhaps some rock encountered at that depth had wedged against the casing. They began baiIihg Wednes- day and again Thursday, hoping to loosen the casing. It was stated that if no way was found to loosen the casing then smaller sized casing. would be inserted inside the present casing in order that some kind of test could be made of the sand struck at 210O feet. Showings in this well have been good, and many visitors have been gathering at Foreman to see the we'll come in. If this casing is not loosened there will be another delay.

Confusion Over Paying
 of Taxes in Many Places

Little Rock, April S.-tSpeeiaI -- More If less confusion has been caused in the minds of tax collectors by the proclamation issued by Gover- nor McI1ae designed to relieve the taxpayers from the payment of the penalty for failure to pay their taxes by April 10. Several of the collec- tors are announcing that they will tegin making their delinquent lists immediately after April 10. A great many letters are being received at the governors office regarding this proclamation and the governor is sending the following letter in reply to practically all of them:
 There is no extension of the time for the payment of taxes, no extension of the time for making out your de- linquent lists, no extension of the time for the sale of delinquent lands and lots. All that am endeavoring to do is to relieve the people of the pen alties provided they pay the taxes and costs on or before the day of sale. On the 10th day of April, the collectors, if they wish to do so, can begin mak- ing their delinquent lists, but they can- not add or collect tbe 10 per cent pen- alty. When the delinquent list is turned over to the clerk, he will, of course, add the penalty of 25 per cent and the cost provided by law. and it is advertised as the law requires; but if the tax debtor offers to pay his taxes and the costs on or before the day of sale, the collector should accept 1t without the penalty. If it is not paid on or before the day of sale, the land is sold on the day fixed by law for the payment of taxes, cost and penalty. just as if the proclamation had not been issued"

BIG SCHOOL RALLY AND
 CONTEST HAS OPENED
Hundreds of School Children and Pat
 rOns Here; General Ehbitits Dis- / played at Court House.

Since early Friday morning literally hundreds of school children, teachers and patrons have been pouring into AshdQwn from over the county to at tend the big school contest and rally, which opened here Friday morning ard will close Saturday at noon. The opening session was held at the court house Friday until noon, where the visitors registered in the office of the county superintendent A large dele gation from the Foreman school ar rived On the noon train, the other high schools having arrived earlier. The school colors are very much in evil dence and each delegation appears to have been we'll coached in the school yell. The yelling contest had not been decided as we go to press, for now and again it breaks out afresh.
 In the general school exhibit six schools were entered at noon Friday. They were: Ashdown, Foreman, Win throp, Ogden, Wilton, and Allene. These exhibits are worth a trip to see as they cannot be we'll described. They consist of drawings, map drawings, penmanship, exercises of different kinds, needle work and other articles from the domestic science department. A novelty in workmanship was Cae- sar's bridge over the Rhine by Latin class of the Ashdown high. There is scarcely a school that does not show some real artistic talent. One art student in the Allene school is going to have to be reckoned with. All are good, and we are going to leave the decision to the judges.
 At :3O o'clock the great crowd as- sembled in the courtroom to hear Hon. A. D. DuLaney deliver the address. MT. DuLaney always has something to say wortH while and has an effective way of saying it. In nshis younger days he was one of the county's teachers and has never lost interest in the cause. His talk was greatly enjoyed.
 A great dinner was spread on the lawn and hundreds joined in the noon meal. The yelling ceased for an in -terval here as all seemed to be other wise engagd.
 Tn the afternoon the big parade to the school building and the various literary and music and drawing con- tests were held. On Friday night the auditorium will be the scene of the de- clamation, reading contests. Satur- day morning will be devoted to field day exercises, games and races.

States His Reasons.

Bangor, Nc, Oct, LIN a state
ment issued yesterday TO the Bangor
Commercial in regard to the proposed
consolidation of railroads, President
Todd Of the Bangor & Aroostook rail-.
road said:
"My own view is on the whole OPP
posed to these wn0is SAFE consolida-
lions for the reason shat If such large
railroad systems a'e formulated ths
executive managemsn OF each system
must necessarily BE- remote from the
public that il serves, and one of the
most impor.ant phases Of successful
railroad management Is close cooper
alton and intimate touch on the part
OF the management Of the railroad
with the local public that II serves,
and this is equally objectional from
the standpoint Of the relations be-
tween the management Of a railroad
and its employees, which necessarily
cannot be as close on system Of
many thousands miles Of railroad as
il is on one Of few hundred or one
or two thousand miles.

TAX REVISION

Claims Senator Simmons
Attacking Republican
Tax Bill
GENERAL PUBLIC
STILL PAYING HIGH
Senator Smoot Presents
Plan of Manufacturers
Sales Tax

Washington, D. c., Oct. Opening
general assault on the Republican
tax bill, Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat of the Sem
ate finance committee, charged yester-
day in the Senate that the revlsions
proposed by the committee were solely
in behalf of the corporations and those
taxpayers whose incomes exceeded
! $685. 900 year.
Senator Simmons said that immedi-
ately after the armistice the tax laws
were revised and reductions made in
the taxes on individual Incomes and
corporations while the millions OF peo-
pie who pay the miscellaneous taxes
are at this very hour paying the peak
war taxation rates.
Before the North Carolina senator
began his address, Senator Smoot of
Utah, Republican member of the fl
nance committee, presented his plan
for manufacturers sale tax OF three
per cent, explaining it in a prepared
statement which he read to the Senate.
THAT in addition to all other taxes
there shall be levied, assessed, collected
anu pth upOH every tuHiHiuuttN
ufactured or produced when sold,
leased or licensed for consumption of
use with further process of manufac-
ture, tax equivalent to three per cent
OF the price for which such commodity
is sold, leased or licensed; such tax to
be paid by the manufacturer or pro-
ducers."
.There will be one taxi said Senator
Smoot in explaining his taxing scheme,
If commodity is sold for consump-
ton or use in a further process OF
manufacture no tax will be imposed.
For example, crude oil sold for fuel
would be taxable, but if sold TO a re-
finery for the making Of gasoline or
like commodities would not be tax
able.
In order to avoid administrative
difficulties with small sales, the bill
provides for an exemption OF all sales
of less than $4,000 during one year.
Provision is made for a like tax
upon similar imported commodities so

from east to west, save for the hourly

Thus there is division OF the coun-

not that which historians have recog-

daylight saving have failed to recog-
