ONE MORE COUNTY
WENT AGAINST LIQUOR IN THE
 REGENT STATE ELECTION.
Temperance Advocates Made Consid- erabe Gain in Total Majority
 Recorded.

Official returns on the vote for and against license, whicn have been re ceived by the secretary of state from every county in the state, show that the license advocates sustained a net loss of one county in the recent cleo. tion. The temperance advocates made a considerable gain, however. in the total majority recorded against it. Later six of the wet counties were made dry" by petition, leaving only 23 wet" counties The returns from the last election show that 22 counties voted for license and 5 against it.
 In 1904 the total vote in the state showed a majority of 1853 against li- cense. This majority was increased to 14,273 in the recent election.
 In 1900 45 counties voted for license and % against it, with a total majority of S.543 for license In 1902 the tenn perance people gained one county, ii voting for license and 31 against it. the total majority for license being 3,61D
 In the recent election Arkansas, Se- vier and Yell counties, which went dry two years ago, voted for license. These were offset by Perry, Randolph, Lawrence and Woodruff counties, which turned from wet to dry
 The official vote on license in the various counties was as follows:

Official returns In all but two coun. ties as received at the office of the sec retary of state, show that Judge Little's majority over Worthington will exceed the majority of 5000 that was pre- dicted for him. With the vote in Car roll and Conway counties missing Judge Little has a majority of 61 ,033 over his opponent, and these two coun. ties will add probably 1000 more to the Democratic vote, making the ma jority In round numbers 62,000 votes This Is the largest majority ever roll. ed up for a Democratic candidate in the history of Arkansas. Judge Lit ties total vote in seventythree of the seventy-fve counties in the State Is 101. .525, while that of Judge Worthing ton is 40,492 Judge Little shows an increase of 9.534 votes over that cast for Davis in 1904, the present gover- nor having received but 91 .991 votes at the general election of 1904 Davis majority over Myers in 1904 was 3S,093 votes.

ARKANSAS 4 xSTATE NEWS

The Executive Committee of the Farmers Union of Arkansas has taken action which insurcs the location Of the central office, which will soon be opened. at Little Rock After cohsid- ering the matter for two days. tie committee accepted a proposition sub mitted by the st. Louis Compress Company providing for the storage of the cotton which the members of tho Farmers Union are not able te care for in their local warehouses. The greater part of this surplus cotton will be stored in the Companys warehouses in Little Rock, but a part of it vii; be taken care of in the company's warehouses which are scattered throughout the state
 The committee postponed the selee- tion of state agent and il was de cded that another meeting should be held to take up this matter. The committee proposes to place a practi- cal business and cotton man at the head of it's affairs and will act slowly so that 1t may secure the best man available. The state agent will main tain an office at Little Rock and will act as the agent of all the members of the union in dealing with the spin ners and their agents. It is expected that by selling the cotton in large quantities direct to the spfnners tho growers will be able to secure bette.' prices.
 The various local unions throughout the state now have planned or in course of erection fifty seven ware houses. It is expected that all of these will be completed in time to take care of part of this years crop With the additional storage facilities provided by the warehouses of the St Louis Compress Company. it is be lieved that the union can store 200 100 bales this year. The Arkansas union is behind those of other statea in it's warehouse facilities. but rapid progress has been made since the last meeting of the state union. and 1t Is believed that in another year Ar kansas will be as we'll equipped as other states
