THINKS WINTER
 IS NOW ENDED GOLD WAVE IS PASSING STATE FARM COTTON KILLED, BUT PLENTY OF SEED IS
 ON HAND.

Little Rock, April 26.-For the sec ond time this year Division Director Alciatore of the weather bureau, stat ed this morning he was confident the winter had gone to stay for at least six months. It was two months ago Director Alciatore remarked that win ter was gone. It is the hope of every horticulturist and agriculturist m the state that the cold weather has gone to stay, and everyone else also hopes there will be nothing more to kill the little fruit and vegetation left. The shortage of seed, both for corn and cotton, but especially for the latter, is going to be a serious item with the farmers who desire to replant their destroyed crops. Cottonseed is almost an unknown quantity, as what was not needed for planting the first time, was disposed of to the mills and by them ground up into cottonseed flour and the other products of the seed.
 The state is the only lucky one in the i'll luck which was brought by the frost, as it has 600 tons of seed held in reserve for replanting. In past years considerable portion of the states crop has been ruined through overflow or sipe water, so it has been the policy to hold back a large portion of the seed for an emergency. This was a life-saver this year all right, and Warden McCook at the farm has already begun bedding for replanting the acres on which the cotton was de- stroyed. There will be 600 acres to be replanted, making 800 in all, as 200 had to be replanted after the last frost. With cotton brokers in the east offering $150 for seed, there will be no cotton replanted if the offer is made to the penitentiary board, for it would mean a clear profit of ESQ., 900 on the 600 acres without turning over the soil again. There are about 1900 acres of cotton planted on the farm which have not yet reached the sprouting stage and which was not damaged, so if the 600 tons could be sold at $150 per ton, the state would probably clean up $2O0,00o on the crop this year

SUPT. PITCOCK WORRIED
DOUGLASSES WITH NUMEROUS WIVES PUZZLE
 PENITENTIARY OFFICIAL.

Little Rock, April 26.--Too much Douglass in the Arkansas peniten- tiary is causing the officials, as well as some state officials, to indulge in a game of guess. There are num- Der of convicts by the name of Doug lass, and of these, two are bigamists. From Texas writes one Mrs. Doug lass to Superintendent Pitcock, ask ing his advice about marrying again. She states she has a clearinghouse and a boarder with snug little nest egg. who wants her to become his blushing bride. She wants to know if she would have to get a divorce to marry, and also asks the penlten- tiary official to tell nothing of her second love to her convict husband. Superintendent Pitcock replied that it would take a divorce for her to get married again, but as for advice upon her getting married again, he would refer her to a fortune teller The su- pcrintendent also requested that she state which Douglass is hcT husband.
 About the same time Governor Don aghey received letter from wom- an in Mississippi, stating she is the I1fSl WlIe Ol q UldH SSlN NillS d lSi III III the Arkansas penitentiary for big amy and that if he is making a good convict she would like to get him out and take him back to her warm fireside. The woman, like the would be-bride in Texas, does not state which Douglass is her bigamous hus- band.
 Still third letter has been received from another woman in Texas, who says she is the second wife of man in the penitentiary by the name of Douglass, who was sent up for big amy. She wants to know if he has any money, and if the prison rules permit her to send him any. She al so wants to know if she can write to him and he to her. The writer timidly intimates that it would be pleasure to her to have Douglass out, asking if the law is satisfied when his sentence has been served and if she will be able to claim him as her ogE in the crd The woman, like the other, fails to state whicE Doug lass to whom she refers
 Until more information is given by the three won,,n, Supt. Pitcock will dream nightly of Dou~lasses and many women after them,

FROST DAMAGE
 WAS ENROMOUS

Reports from all over the cotton belt indicate that unprecedented dam age has resulted from snow, sleet and frost during the past AS hours, an As sociated Press dispatch from Atlanta stating that the south has suffered it's most disastrous financial setback since the Civil war. Snow ranging in depth from one to four inches has fallen as far south as central Ala bama, Mississippi and Georgia and frost has killed the growing cotton far below this line.
 A scarcity of cottonseed forced prices yesterday as high as $150 ton and it is thought this will result in a material reduction of acreage throughout the south.
 Light to heavy and killing frosts occurred throughout Faulkner county last night. Damage to cotton was confined principally to the bottom lands, little having been planted in the uplands. Col. J. E. Little stated this morning he had lost from 125 to 150 acres of cotton, but his corn was not damaged. Other plantations on the river lost their entire stand of cotton, while in the uplands corn is reported seriously damaged. Farm CTS in this county, however, are we'll supplied with seed for planting, so far as can be learned.
