Dallas, Tex, July 22.-Returns re ceived by the Dallas News up to mid night account for S39,773 votes in the | prohibition election held in Texas to- | day. Of these votes the News totals show 171,617 prohibition and 16s,156 anti-prohibition votes, majority of 3461 for prohibition.
 The News estimate of the total vote
 cast is 45O,0oO. If this estimate is approximately correct. the returns leave only little more than 100000 votes to be heard from.
 It Is evident from the closeness of the vote that well nigh complete re- turns will be necessary to determine
 the result certainly. though such as
 are in hand indicate rather strongly that the prohibitionists have carried
 the state.
 From the cities the vote is nearly complete, as is also the case from the larger towns, leaving that which Is yet to be heard from to come from the
 smaller towns and rural precincts. This is a vote which, as the returns already
 received show, will go mostly to the prohibitionists.
 Of the vote accounted for, 171,617 comes from north Texas and 16s156 from south Texas, considering roughly a line drawn through Waco to be tho division. The figures show, therefore, that the returns are relatively larger percentage of the south Texas and If the north Texas vote. and of this rel atively larger unreported vote the pro- hibitionists will get the greater part.
 Dry in North Texas The pros" as was expected. re
 ceived heavy majority In the black land counties of north Texas. Tn tri, angle extending northeast and north west of Dallas they seem to have car
 ried every county, with perhaps the exception of not more than three or | four sections. The Panhandle and west Texas gave even larger majoritfes. rel atively to population, than did north l Texas proper and northeast Texas. If | the prohibition vote was anywhere dis appointing it was in a few east Texas counties, particularly those toward the south.
 The anti-proh, bitionists got their ma jorities almost exclusively in south Texas counties and in some of them they were smaller than had been ex pected and smaller than the submis- sion vote last year foreshadowed. Per haps the greatest disappointment for the anti -prohibitionists was in the vote of the cities. San Antonio, in Bexar county, the anti majority seems to have
 been only about 5000, and in Harris county, of which Houston is the cap ital, only about 5000. In Dallas the anti
 majority was only 1900, that is in the city of Dallas. In Tarrant county the
 anti majority up to 12 o'clock was not over 800.
 Of the larger towns Palestine, Green vile, Denton, Mckinney, Sulphur Springs, Gainesville and Jacksonville
 went dry. Waco's anti majority was
 only little more than 300. Richmond Eagle Pass. Smithville, Fulkin, Maya sota. Denison, Hearne and Belton went dry.

Barred From Louisiana


 Mr. Spreckels testified that he has been unable to purchase sugar in Louisiana. although he offered more than the Amer ican He said in his opinion the removal or big reduction in the tariff on sugar would lower the price of refined sugar in this country 2 cents a hundred.
 'It would also be the best thing for Louisiana" he said. The planters down there are antiquated use ancient methods aud machinery and are not scientific far mers The reduction in the tariff would make them up and modernize them like it did Hawaii
 Nil. Spreckels said the refineries and planters of both beet and cane sugar in this country could compete with the world without tarif.
 MT Spreckels said the war between the Spreckels and the American started about 1887, that 1t was a fierce one while it lasted and that John F. Searles of the American finally proposed peace In the interests of both sides. The result was the formation by the Havemeyers. Searles and Mr Spreckels' father of the West ern Sugar company. which was sold to the American for sl0,Oo00oo. MT Spreckels said that the California refineries got their raw sugar delivered at San Francisco from Hawaii at 1-3 cents a pound, while the New York re- f,neries pay about 4as cents pound for inc same product. He found that it costs S, cents the hundredweght to refine sugar, counting all losses and deductions. Then, before the refinery can place a price on the nroduct to the broker and jobber, he must add the cost of maintaining the plants. depreciation and interest in the investment.
 Tn the afternoon the discussion of the tariff on sugar occupied much time

No man ccuid be selected who in my judg- r1ent would if elected serve the party more faithfully or zealously than MT. Un- derwocd.

Fred L. Blackmon said: "As I have stated on a former occasion, I am heartily in favdH of Oscar Underwood as the dem ocratic nominee for President. I see no reason why we should refuse to recog- nize man of his ability simply because he comes from the southern states. regard him as one of the strongest men in either branch of Congress. and he IS one or the best informed men in the United States on all public questions. The democrats can win and will win if they select man in whom the people through opt tae country have confidence.

"Whoopee" We Beat "Em. "

The Meade County High
School foot ball team was here
last Friday and left feeling as if
they had over ate feast of apple
dumplings. Our old friend Joe
Hamilton was with them and
was in the best of humor for he
really expected to win, as his
team had been able to annihilate
the other teams they had played
this year and bad succeeded in
winning from Pratt in the early
part of the season by the measley
little score of 5 to 0. But enough
to say that they had won. Our
boystwere still feeling the sting
of that defeat and so they had
declared vengeance and got it to
their hearts content. The same
started off as if it might be an
even one but the superior work
OF the home team soon began to
tell on the visitors and when the
first half closed the score was
Pratt 8, Meade 0. In the last
half the locals just had every
thing their own way and by brill
liant end runs and very pretty
forward passes ran the score up
to l9 to 0 with Meade taking the
little hole for their part of the
score. The Meade boys played
fine clean game and are the best
losing bunch of players that the
writer has had the pleasure to
see. We are glad to see such a
fine lot of boys visitour town and
we welcome them back at any
time, Pratt Republican.

Electricity Does 1t
No more time wasted winding the old
kitcehn clock

Meade may well be proud OF
her talented, industrious and en-
terprising citizens. She points
with pride tn ber musicians, art
lists and mechanics This week
it is our pleasure to chronicle the
completion of an invention begun
some two years ago by our jew
eler and optician, j. P. Kelley,
of an electric clock, so simple
that all that can be seen of the
works" is few wires and a
common twenty-five cent dry bat
terry. The clock as completed
by Mr.. Kelley makes a handsome
appearance in it's polished oak
case. The pendulum beats sec
onds and its dial shows hours,
minutes and seconds, the day of
the week and month. The one
dry cell will run the clock for a
year or longer.
A flattering offer has been re-
ceived for the manufacturing of
this invention which could prob
ably be put on the market for
one third the price of the old
style clock.
