The Journal has often said
that we have one of the best
paying lists of subscribers of
any paper published, and thev
are certainly making good
their reputation thisfall.During
the past two years when mon
ey has been so scarce, we
made no effort to collect sub
scription accounts and many of
our subscribers feil behind. But
they are now paying up in full
in a manner that we greatly
appreciate. There are now on
ly a few who have not paid up
their old accounts and many
of them are paying ahead. We
hope all who are behind will
pay up as soon as they can do
so, as The Journal has obliga
tions which must be met and
we cannot pay our debts until
we are paid.

ACT NO. 2 DEFEATED
BY BIG MAJORITY
Little Rock. Nov.9.—Returns
received today from the inter
ior of the state settled beyond
question the fate of Act No. 2
the statewide prohibition re
peal measure, and the primary
election bill. The former is de
feated, while the primary elec
tion bill has been approved by
a large majority of the voters
of the state.
Amendment No. 13, the init
iative and referendum meas
ure, was defeated, and amend
ments Nos. 12 and 14 have
good prospects of adoption.
Pulaski county polled a large
vote against Act No. 2, while
Phillips county, where one of
the hardest fights was made
by the anti-statewides, was
carried by the prohibitionists
by two to one. The closest con
test was in Garland county.
If the prohibitionists main
tain their lead in the counties
that have reported, it is appar
ent that less than six counties;
of the state will give the re-;
pyal act a majority.
