STATE TO SUE
COTTON BELT
Railroad Company Has Failed to
Pay Corporation Tax to
State.
Speci&i to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 18.—It will:
probably be necessary for the
state to bring a suit against the
Cotton Belt railroad for the col
lection of over-due franchise
tax under the provisions of the
law enacted by the last legisla
ture. Several weeks ago the at
torney general notified all the
delinquents that the tax was due
with the twenty-five per cent
penalty, and about one-third of
the L25 have already responded
with remittances covering the
amount due.

largest concern that has not j
paid, owes $6,798.26, with j
$1699.56 penalty, and rot onlyj
ftas this not been paid, but the!

Increase In Independence.
Batesville, Oct. 17.—The Coun
ty Board of Equalization com-,
pleted its work of passing on the 1
raises made in assessments of,
the property of this county Satr j
urday. A number of persons!
whose assessments had been j
raised were before the court and ,
board relative to the increases,!
and a majority made a showing j
upon which their assessments
were lowered to the original:
figures. The valuation of the
property of this county shows
",n increase of over $700,000
oi'er that of 1910.

Wood-Ray Stock Com
pany Making Good.
. The Wood-Ray Stock Compa
ny, who are playing at the Jack- i
son this week, are certainly mak
ing good, as is evidenced by the
large crowds attending every
night. They opened Monday
night with a great Southern
play, “The Pride of Virginia,”
and were met by one of the larg
est crowds ever attending the
Jackson. This seemed to give
them the proper enthusiasm and
they certainly made good. We
believe them to be the best set
of actors who have ever appear
ed here. One of the special feat
ures is their orchestra, and in
this connection we wish to com
pliment them on the excellent
music furnished by them each
night. Every night up-to-date
specialties have been introduced
between the acts and there was
not a minute in which there was
not something doing. They will
play the rest of the week and on
Satm»day afternoon will put on
a special matinee for the benefit
of the children who have been
attending school and could not
attend the other attractions.' To
those who have not attended the
former attractions we wish to
say that if you want to enjoy a
good laugh and to see something
that will drive away dull cares
you should certainly attend the
remaining night of this week.—
Heber Springs Headight.

In Three Days You Will Be Perfectly Reliev
Habit and All Those Symptoms Which
Liquor As “Medicine” Will Di
NO MAN can afford to drink
liquor — particularly a business
or professional man, whose suc
cess and possibilities of achieve
ment depend upon a strong
brain—a brain that is always
clear and ready for business. A
whiskey brain sometimes “feels”
clear and bright and capable—
but it isn’t; it is all wrong.
The “feeling” of -alertness and
ambition is short-lived STIMU
LATION of an organ that is
weakened and paralyzed by the
most insidious of all poisons—
the POISON OF ALCOHOL.
Under the guidance of the liquor
drinker the best business in the
world will fail—executive abil
ity, stamina and logic are lack
ing.
Why does a drink of liquor
seem to quiet the nerves?
Why do your nerves need
“quieting?”
