At Texarkana
Ml. Pleasant is now going through !
an outbreak of thievery and vandal-
ism, which has been prevalent ip all
parts of town.
On Sunday night, two bales of cot-
ton were hauled away from the cot-
ton yard, and on Sunday night two
more were stolen. Tracks indicated
that the first two bales were carried
away in a wagon, and the other two
by truck.
On Sunday night, the smokehouse
of the J. H. Brooks home in North
Mt. Pleasant was broken into, and
practically all of the meat stolen. En- '
trance was gained by breaking the
lock. The thieves were trailed as far
as the Masonic Cemetery by salt |
which fell from the meat.
All three- of the white schools of,
Mt. Pleasant were broken into Mon- j
day night, and a systematic rifling 1
of the desks appeared to have taken i
place. Every locked door in each of !
the buildings was broken open with a '
pinch bar or some other implement, 1
desks were broken into and papers
scattered about the rooms. Nothing
valuable was missing Tuesday.
A number of residences in the city
have been visited by thieves latley.
The District Meet for the basketball
j championship has been awarded to
I Texarkana, and will be held on Friday
and Saturday of this week. Mt.
Pleasant was a favored candidate for
this meet until the local gymnasium
was burned two weeks ago.
| At a meeting of the County Ath-
letic Committee, held here Monday
night, it was ruled that Charley Bla-
j lock, one of the Mt. Pleasant high
school basketball team, was eligible to
play in all school teams this year.
He was protested as being ineligible
by the Winfield team after the Win-
field-Mt. Plasant game in the County
Meet last Saturday.

Washington, Feb. 20.—Congress to-
day proposed to the States that na-
tional prohibition, after its 13 years ,
ot turbulent trial, be done away with
by repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- •
ment.
The House by a vote of 289 to 121, ;
15 more than necessary, approved the ;
repeal resolution passed last week by j
the Senate. Under it for the first J
time in American history conventions j----——------
of the people are to decide whether i jri »
the States shall ratify or reject a 'f 1 anCe 10 1 aiK
change in the Constitution. J
Thirty-six of the 48 States must
ratify to carve the Eighteenth Amend-
ment out of the national charter and
substitute for it a specific prohibition
of importation of intoxicating liquors
into any States remaining dry.
| Immediately after the House vote
I legislative action was started in more
[than half a dozen States to make
ready for the conventions.
I Only one federal formality remains
j before the States have the question
j fully in thir keeping. The Secretary
j of State must certify the congression-
| al action to the Governors. They will
I inform the Legislatures. In many
; cases the state executives, however,
j already had taken steps today to rush
| action.
The official copy of the repeal res-
it gently penetrates to the innermost
fibre, dissolving those microscopic atoms
of grit that grind the life out of clothes. It
cleans-azurizes blues, enriches reds, gives
crystalline radiance to white, ebonizes the
blacks of the new dull silks.

According to a report made at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting Mon-
day night, by Rhea Cromwell, in
charge of the engineering work for
the local committee in charge of the
R. F. C. relief here, the concrete curb-
ing being placed on East Ninth Street
will be completed this week if the
weather continues favorable. Work
of pouring the concrete for the curb
was begun last Friday and on Mon-
day and Tuesday a good showing was
| made. All of the school grounds in
the city have been put in good condi-
tion as a result of the work which has
been done on them through the relief
funds. Every school ground in the
county has been improved in this way.
A letter was read from Representa-
tive Traylor Russell and one from Wm
IJ. Tucker of the Game Commission to

tion limiting hunting of birds and
J squirrels in this section for Tuesday

j season, was in their opinion imprac-
ticable, and there was little chance of
| procuring its passage.

The House approval came in dra-

fought with its back to the wall
.against the flood of antiprohibition
votes.
Confident from the first victory,
Speaker Garner and party leaders
forced the vote under suspension of
the rules, a drastic debate-curbing
procedure. Fifteen members who
voted against the Speaker’s outright
repeal proposal the first day of this
session shifted their strength to the
Blaine amendment, adopted only last
Thursday by the Senate, 63 to 23.
The news was hailed as a great vic-
tory by leaders by the antiprohibition
organizations, but the drys, though
not disguising a defeat, proclaimed
their intention to intensify their fight
