Inquiry among all of the cable companies
failed yesterday TO disclose any interruption of
communication in the two Americas Those
lines which run through the West Indies and
to Central and South America were reported
working smoothly and the officials of the
companies said that none of their offices or
those of their connecting lines to the South had
reported any earthquake disturbance. AS the
field thus covered embraces all of the West
Indies. all of Central America and both coasts
of South America, it is evident that the quake
recorded by various seismographs yesterday did
not occur at any largely populated region on
the Western Hemisphere. 1t probably was a
submarine disturbance.

THREW DYNAMITE ON MANS PORCH
Unsuccessful Attempt Made to Blow up Home of Ashley Cock
 Till in Little Rock

Little Rock, June 23,-An at- tempt was made early Saturday morning to dynamite the home of Ashley Cockrill, attorney and poli- tcian. Two sticks of giant powder were placed on the porch of his residence, 1907 Broadway, in such position that their explosion would have blown in two adjacent walls and almost certainly destroy ed the entire family. Dampness in the air extinguished the fuse and prevented catastrophe.
 The would be assassin or assas- sins made the attempt between midnight and ' o'clock in the morning. There are no known witnesses to the attempt and no clews to the identity of the perpe- rtators. Mir. Cockrill's activity in local politics has made him some enemies. but he says that there is no one on the list of his acquain- tances he would suspect of at tempting such a crime.
 Had the dynamite exploded the three small children of Mir. Cock Till would have been blown to atoms. The sticks were found pressed against the outer wall of the room in which they were sleep ing.
 A local authority on dynamite says that if they had exploded the force would have been such as to shake down neighboring dwellings. The fuse of the sticks was burned for an inch or more. The charred match which had been used to ignite them lay near.

TEXAS WILL BE DRY 20 DAYS

Austin, Tex, June 23.-From July 12 until August 1, Texas Is very likely going to be very "dry' prohibition state. This will result from the setting in motion of a new liquor law passed by the recent legislature, the principal features of which re- quires the filing of 20 days no- tice before saloon can secure a license. This law becomes etfec- tive July 12.
 It has now been finally decided that no saloon can get new license until August 1, and during this interval all saloons must close.

s3,OOO,OOO WORTH OF PEACHES
That is The Estimated Value of The Peach Crop of Arkansas
 For This Season

It is said that there will be more peaches shipped from Arkansas this season than in any year in the history of the state. This, accord ing to advices from the fruit belt, IS due to two causes, one of which is the splendid yield, the other to the increased orchard acreage. It is estimated that there are 20, ,000 acres of fruit bearing peach trees in Arkansas, the largest being in Crawford, Johnson, Franklin, Pope, Howard, Pike. Nevada, Sevier, Polk, Ouachita and Union counties. The average yield per acre of these peach trees is esti- mated at 100 bushels, making a total of 100000 bushels. The price will range from $2 to 75 cents per bushel. The average price is expected to be $1.50 per bushel which makes the crop worth $3,OO0, 900. There are only two other Arkansas crops, the cotton and corn crops, which exceed in value the peach crop.
 From no portion of the peach producing section comes any com. plaint as to the size or the quality of the crop. There is only one fear that is uppermost in the mind of the orchardist at present, and that is the possibility of not being able to secure labor sufficient to gather the crop.

SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS

Mir. Editor: 1 am now in the western part of Little River coun- ty, in few miles of the Choctaw nation. Crops aae very backward and labor is scarce. 1 am told they are paying $1.50 a day for cotton hoeing.
 The land here is a mulatto land, and the average yield is about twenty bushels of corn and half bale of cotton per acre. Not far from here they have the black land, which is very productive and will equal our Big Bottom land. Land sells from $3 to $20 per acre owing to the location and improve ment.
 The timber Is oak and pine. There is large part of the coun- try in timber and farms show they have not been in cultivation long, consequently not much machinery is used.
 Foreman is town of about a thousand inhabitants. It has some nice residences and seems to have good trade.
 They have more negroes here than we have. The people are very sociable and have received the writer kindly.
 A man with little means could easily get home here, as there is lots of lumber manufactured here and after that Is taken off, the land could be bought very reasonable. But have no idea of locating here.
 1 expect to go to Sevier county next week. Will say more of the country later, but will say Inde- pendence county suits me better than here for many reasons.
