100000 LOSS TO COTTON CROP
Crops Heavily Damaged Through
out the State By Contin-
ued Damp Weather

The Arkansas Gazette says that
from reports received in Little
Rock from all over the state, the
damage to the cotton crop in Ar
kansas from the lowering of the
grade alone, as the result of the
incessant rains of the past few
days, is estimated by we'll inform
ed cotton men of that city at not
less than five million dollars. This
loss does not include the cotton
totally destroyed by rotting from
laying in water, and neither is the
time lost by the delay in picking
ia ken into consideration.
This estimate of the damage TO
the crop was made Tuesday by
cotton men in response to requests
received by the Board of Trade
from the New York Cotton Ex-
change and from the officials of
the Iron Mountain Railroad at St.
Louis. Upon receipt of these in
quiries Secretary Brown secured
the opinion of number of the
best Informed cotton men, and the
estimate of $5,000,000 damage,
which was sent in answer to these
inquiries, represents the consen-
sus of opinion among the major
ity of cotton men.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF ARKANSAS
Report of State Superintendent
Shows Remarkable Growth
Along Educational Lines

The annual report of State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruc-
ton j. H. Hinemon for the year
ending July 81, 1906, part of
which has been made public,
shesgs that the school property in
Arkansas is worth more than
S400, 200. A remarkable growth
In the valuation of the school prop
critics of the state has been noticed
since the last report, and in al
most every case, the reports of the
county examiners, from which the
report is made, show an increase
IN the valuation over the year pre-
Eious.
The exact value of the school
property is s4.046, 442. OF this
amount So, COZ 1888 represents the
value of real estate and buildings.
The furniture and apparatus is
worth S43S, $50. This includes
improvements made during the
last year amounting to S441 ,491.
During the year covered by the
report of Superintendent Hinemon
302 new buildings worth SAL ,491,
were erected. This is an average
cost 81, 461, and the figures show
that a new school building was adj
.ded for almost each working day
of the year. OF the total number
of structures erected, 19 were
built of BRICK.
ENCOURAGING FEATURE
Another encouraging feature
shown in Superintendent Hine
mons report is the increase in the
state apportionment of the school
fund. The amount in the state
fund last year for the education of
each child was Sill. This year
it was SIPS. An increase of Il
cents for each one of half million
children is significant. 1t means
a remarkable increase in the value
of the property of the state and
better assessments by the officials
who have that task in hand.
Mr.. Hinemon is said to be much
elated at the showing from the
various counties relative to the at
tendance Of the teachers at the
county Institutes. The total num-
Der of teachers who attended the
institutes last year was 6,747. As
the total number of teachers in the
state is but 1851, it can be seen
that almost 80 per cent of the
teachers gave portion of their
time to attending meetings where
their professional ability is increas-
ed and where they receive slim
illus to better work through the
medium of talks and lectures by
leaders in educational work
The figures shown In the report,
which will in short time be ready
for the inspection of the public,
are regarded as showing remark
able growth along educational
lines in Arkansas. The rapid
strides made by the educational
system of the state within the past
few years indicates that the stat,
is to soon come into possession of
the position long desired of rank
ing with the best states of the
Union in the standing of its schools.
In every branch of the work there
is an indication that era is near.
The growth in the value of school
property, the more thorough prep
aration of teachers. the better
equipment, the more efficient SUI
pervision and the increase of pub
lie interest in the development of
the schools of Arkansas all herald
a day when Arkansas can give her

DETECTIVES.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 10.-If
he detectives of the Law and Order
league who are getting evidence in
violations of the law by saloonkeep-
ers go to Perth Amboy again, the IL
luor men had best be careful not to
INSULT them, as a warning that Of

One of the men indicted for keep
.ng a dive insulted one of the law and

the court house, calling him a series
Of names for the purpose of degrad-
ng him in the eyes of those neal al

,ident to Prosecutor Berdine and the
prosecutor made public
ment of it to the court.
Il have been informed that wit
nesses for the state in the eXcist
Eases have been insulted on the stree

and / would ask the courts proteo
ion for them. | would ask that tn

suits must cease at once"
THE court will support the prose
cutor with its full power" said Judg
Booraem. Witnesses for the state
lere under subpoena, have the ful
protection of the court and are not t.
be insulted. The court will commi
any offender sfor contempt of cour
| hereafter. No one has any right t.
Interfere with or insult these wit
lesses."
The detectives were in court sit
ing alongside of Rev. ]. F. Shaw, o
lie First M. e. church of New Bruins
