CAPITOL CASE
 NOT ADVANCED

Little Rock, July I2.-Special. Included in about 30 decisions handed down by the supreme court this morning was an order denying the motion of Attorney General Norwood to advance the state cap itol warrant case, as a matter of public interest. This is the case in which Caldwell & Drake, the former capitol contractors, present. ed warrants amounting to S2o, 900 to Auditor lobe for payment, which was refused. The contrac- tors secured a mandamus from the circuit court ordering the payment of the warrants, but the auditor ap- pealed to the supreme court. The case cannot now be heard until the fall term of the court begins, next October.
 The supreme court this morning reversed the action of Chancellor Martineau who fined Superintend ent ]. A. Pitcock of the peniten- tiary $500 for removing the con- victs from the contractors, Arkan- sas Brick and Manufacturing Go.

 The plant i'll Arkansas, Okla homa and northern Texas is large, fruiting we'll, thrifty aud full of promise East of the Mississippi river, although improvement has taken place as noted, the plant is small and not always healthy and occasionally stands are bad. The crop promise is regarded as still uncertain, although with fav- orable weather for the remainder of the season a fair yield can be made.
 Rains Delay Cultivation
 Heavy rains in North and South Carolina delayed cultivation and much grass is still complaired of Dry weather IS greatly desired. Much apprehension exists through out central and western Texas of a summer drouth. It has not rained there for two weeks or more and temperatures have been very high. The plant shows the effect. As yet no great damage has resulted, but it is believed that the crop has reached point where it will soon deteriorate without moisture. Boil weevils are numerous in Louisiana but elsewhere complaints are not frequent.

ance with the doctrines OF heredity,
but borne out by police recordS-that
the children Of crooks, of all classes.
rarely turn out TO be crooks them
selves. Deeper study OF the subject
might reveal that they are possessed
OF the criminal instincts, but that the
traSically close example Of the punish
ment and wretchedness that attend n

deterrent. The fact, at any rate, re-
mains. The rogues' galleries Of Scot
