The Prohibition Gain.

Little Rock, Sept. 1S.-As far as heard from, the prohibitionists have certainly gained three cOun- ties in the recent election-Se- vier, Arkansas and St. Francis. The counties voted for license two years ago, but Arkansas, in which Stuttgart and Dewitt are situated, went dry a few weeks later by petition.
 The most notable victory won by the prohibitionists was the capture of Forrest City and St. Francis County. With one ex- ception several years ago, St. Francis voted for license for eighteen years.
 Nothing definite can be learn ed as to the number of counties that changed from dry to wet at Mondays election, but is believ- ed that the official returns now being received by the secretary of state will show several chang es by small majorities
 Fulton County went dry by two majority. Two years ago the majority against license ir Fulton County was 262.
 Mississippi County voted against license by 9 majority Monday that county went dry by $40 majority.
 Unofficial returns show Cross Hampstead and Prairie countie. in the wet column. Two year. ago they voted against license.
 Craighead, which also wen' dry two years ago, is claimed b, both sides by 100 majority.

GOVERNMENT SUGGESTS
That ..the Farmers Use Judgment and
 Care in Selecting Cotton Seed.

j. J. Moore of Hope. special agent of the U $. department of agriculture, bureau of plant in- dustry was in Prescott today and left with Us a sample stock of open cotton, illustrating the facts which the government is attempting to bring out regard ng the kind of seed farmers should plant in order to raise the kind of cotton that will more easily overcome in natural way the ravages of the boil weevil.
 The stalk shown is not a per feet one, but contains some of the features of the improved stalk, as we'll as those of the un- desirable kind
 The governments ideal stalk is one that has no large limbs on it, but contains solely the small branches, from which the bolls of cotton eminate directly Where the large limbs exist they partake of the nature of the stalk, and must necessarily pro- duce the small limb before the boil can form. thus delaying the making of the staple, and more easily placing it at the mercy of the Weevil
 The stalk shown in our office contains both kinds of limbs and Mir. Moore has by means of tags indicateed what locks should be reserved for seed, and which should not.
 The sample further shows that | the bollS formed on the small limbs are open, while those which must take secondary limbs are hardly half grown. although pos | sib!y they were bloomed out l first.
 The special agent further claims that seed planted from the second limb bolls will pro- duce the undesirable stalk Of cotton, while the seed from the small limbs rOming out direct ly from the stalk will produce the kind of cotton mostly desir- ed by everybody, and he asks that care be taken by all farm- CTS in the selection of their seed for next year to divide their cot ton and reserve only the seed crom the first limb and by con tinuing this for a few years. will finally develop a stalk that will greatly benefit everyone. It is earlier. makes larger bolls, and has advanced to a saf e stage before the bolE weevil arrives.

LOST IN THE BOTTOMS.
Newt. Weaver, Joe Brown and Arthur Sykes Couldn't Come Home
 in the Dark.

Yesterday Newt Weaver, Joe lBrown and Arthur Sykes left for the river bottom, squirrel hunt ing. They struck in at Cham blis' Spring, left their team at the spring and crossed the rive.' in a skiff. They told the home folks they would return last night. and when darkness came and they had not arrived some anxiety was felt, and by mid night their anxiousness had reached the stage that Duncan and John Brown, brothers of Joe started in search for them. How ever the night was too dark to permit any success, and it was not until 9 o'clock this morning that they were found at Britt's Switch on the railroad where they were awaiting a train. In their wanderings yesterday af- ternoon. the hunters became con fused about the direction of their boat and when darkness came they were completely lost After some effort to lind their way out they decided to spend the night in the woods, which on account of the rain nothing to eat and nothing to sleep on, proved very disagreeable.
 The woods in which the boys were lost is probably the dens- est in the bottom, and the high cane, numerous vines and thick dotted sloughs. made any pro- gress at extrication after dark almost impossible to one even ac- quainted with the woods.
 Sykes and Weaver walked back to their teams and came home in a buggy while Brown waited at Britt's for the local arriving here at noon.

Needs a Game Warden.

Arkansas needs game war den," said a well known sports man yesterday in discussing the game laws of Arkansas He de- clared that the present game laws are in many instances grossly violated and that unless some measures are taken for the enforcement of the Jaws. eH- pecially with reference to game fish within a few years there ill be little left for the gen tune sportsman.
 Arkansas has no State game garden. There are two or three counties as for instance Mis- sippi County, where there are county game wardens. but they have no jurisdiction outside of their county. Technically each sheriff is a game warden, but this part of his duty, it is con tended, is never taken serious ly.. At least not so much so as would be the case were the enforcement of the game law S made the special duty of State officer, State wardens are found in several States in most cases deriving their salary from the license required of sportsmen and from the fines assessed for the violation of the game lawss

 The returns of Mondays ele .- tlon will be canvassed sometime tomorrow and the rsult deciar- ed. 1t is believed that these re- turns will show on their face a majority of about 120 votes for license thus giving the county to the "wets."

German disregard for the spectacular

ranged that the fatal shot should be
