For Governor.


 It is noticeable that in some of the country precincts where stateH Hide was voted against a majority was returned in favor of license and the reverse is true in other instances One of the surprises in Mondays election was the hig vote polled in the country districts for the bond amendment, it being feared that the residents of the rural districts might vote against the strict ly municipal measure.
 As an evidence of the almost unani- nous opposition to the Grandfather clause on the part of the negroes. it is shown by the returns from the Plum Bayou precinct at Altheimer that only four voted for the measure while 570 voted against it. The vote against prohibition in this precinct was approximately the same.
 Joe T. Robinson, the Democratic nominee for Governor, lost the Fourth ward, heavy negro precinct, by IS votes. Robinson carritd Vaugine township, where many negroes voted, by only P votes.

New York, Sept. -DefendingW - OVID administration and that of Police Commissioner Waldo. Mayor uaynor appeared before the committee Of aldermen which is Investigating the. corrupt police conditions broaehl to light by the Rosenthal murder. ttis afternoon. For three hours he biak- cred with Emory K. Buckner. the committees counsel, avoiding ques- tions oi fact and waxing sarcastic when he failed to lead his inquisitor astray by long dissertations on s.de issues.
 Fire voluntary appearance of Mayor Gaynor was a surprise inasmuch as Ge had written an accusation of graft agains Alderman Curran, chairman of he committee, and declared he would not work With investigators who were tainted by corruption themselves. Alderman Curran an- nouneed his mention of suing the mayor for libel.
 At one stage of the proceedings this afternoon the Mayor angered by the questions of Buckner, declared:
 I'm responsible. Look at me. If aa.ltaipss>, ps>, has s-,!.s been going wrapg L-all responsible"
 He also said he had learned that Lieutenant Becker, alleged instigator of the Rosenthal murder, was the 'head of the police graft" He dwelt at length on his own administration, saying he had abolished the graft heretofore necessary to get police protection and the graft which saloon keepers paid to violate the excise law.
 When Buckner asked the mayor if he knew that 344 of 401 saloons vis- tied by the agents of the committee last Sunday were found selling liquor. the latter retorted that there was not more than ten violating the law.
 The mayor was sworn by Chairman Curran and it was instantly plain that the chief executive had assumed a hostile attitude and he had resolved to refuse to answer any questions hat might displease him.
 Soon afer taking the stand the witness made a flat admission that he had made no investigation into general police conditions following the murder Of Herman Rosenthal; al- so that he had made no investigation of the charge of the letter of resigna- tion of First Deputy Commissioner Bugher that the police department was demoralized.
 q knew that it was demoralized when I came into office,' asserted Gaynor, and I have done everything I could to lift it up. Decent people know that

 The mapor said he had ne1e' laid down a policy in regard to dlsorteriy houses and advlsed the ccmDlttae not to burn it's fingers Witt thing that s,ould be wept over rather than be made political capital.'
 Concerning Becker, the mayor said:

 The prohibition forces are not con- ceding defeat, although report 10 that effect has been sent out. and claim that the 20,000 majority al- legged by the liquor men is unfound ed in the returns at hand. Superin- tendent Barrett said this morning. Among the counties reported to HIS today as having gone dry and for statewide are Lee, Woodruff St, Francis, White, Greene and Union. A report sent out that Faulkner coun- ty, the home of Gov. Donaghey, had gone wet, is not true as it has gone for statewide by about 300 majority. The indications are that we stand a good show to win. If the country goes as it always has, against liuuor and it looks like it will, the country vote will overcome the big maiori- ties in the cities. So far there have been only scattering reports from the country.'
 The prohibition forces had depend- ed largely upon the anti-liaense vote, but the result proves that this was not a proper criterion. Some coun- ties that have been voting against license, as Columbia, for instance, voted against state Wide Indications are that several countries that have not been wet for years, have switch ed over to that side
 The indications on the various mea- sures for Pulaski county are as fol- flows:
 Probably carried Bond amend ment, cotton factory exemption, short legislature session, sale of wine, road tax, liquor license.
 Probably lost st:-Turner-Jacobs bill, grandfather clause, election act, text book bill, and statewide prohi- bition.
 The most unpopular of all the mea- sures submitted, judging from gener- al returns, are the T. J. bill and the recall And yet even the T. J. bill, which gahas been 7a-~bone of political contention in the state for eighteen months, received more votes than some of it's supporters had dared eX- pect.

AMENDMENTS
Recall May Get Majority in Jefier. son Put License. Bond Issue and
 Per Diem Limit Carry.

With complete returns from all country precincts but eight, full re- turns from the Third and Fourth wards of the city of Pine Bluff and a partial count from the Second ward the totals show majority of 1 ,472 against statewide prohibition, ma jority of 1,4l3 for license, and that Amendment Mo- b (city bond issue) carried three to one. Robinson's vote over Roland is more than two to one The total vote cast in Jefferson coun- ty excepting the ward and the coun- try precincts unreported is 3,136 which indicates that total vote boiled in the county will approximate 1000.
 The count is proceeding very slow ly, some of the election officials go- ing home before 12 o'clock last night with the intention of completing their work today. The count of the First ward vote will be completed about six o'clock this morning. That in the Second ward will be resumed today but it not known when the work ii th.s ward will be finished.
 Some of the boxes from country pre- cincts were deposited in the vault in the circuit clerks office and no an- t-nouncement of the vote made by the judges. The vote in these precincts will not be known until the election returns are canvassed by the County Election Commissioners.

Herculaneum in the time of its prosperity oc-
cuped to Rome somewhat the position wnlcn

Rome resorted thither for the benefit or their
health as its air was believed to be particularly
celebrating Rest and quiet from the disturbing
influences of the great center were found IN the
luxurious villas which were situated In ana
around Hercuaneum. There seems to nave Deen
no industry In the town except fishing and the
character of the ruins suggests that, Ike sucn
prosperous suburban retreat of today, the settle
ment rejoiced in all that wealth and care could
afford of beauty and convenience.
Agrippina the elder according to Seneca, was
the owner of one of the most gorgeous OF the
villas in Herculaneum which, it is believed, was
destroyed by the Emperor Caligula because his
mother had once been imprisoned therein. An
other splendid villa was the Casa del Papir The
Nonii of Nuceria were also among the aristocrats
of the time who had villas in the charming little
town.
According to Rretesor Hughes "Herculaneum
is buried not under lava, rarely under natural
cement, but generally under locally consolidated
tuff fluff is the word most commonly used when
the ash is so far consolidated as to break into
lumps) Seeing that we have reason to believe
that at least as much ash has fallen since the
first century A. d. as fell in 70 A. D.. the first
thing to do is to endeavor to distinguish between
the successive eruptions. If could find at the
bottom of layer of ash just enough pottery or
other relics to enable us to identify them as be-
longing to the seventeenth century earlier.
that line should be traced with the greatest care.
In this way we might feel our way back into the
remote past and perhaps somewhere make out
upon satisfactory evidence how deep some part
of Herculaneum was buried in the eruption Of
70 A. D."

A woman who drinks spirituous liq-

The mule industry In the United

When the British army sent it's agents
to the western continent to buy mules
they established distributing center
at Lathrop, Missouri, and from this
point were sent out $4,000 mules.

the Boer war, are now one Of the most

JUST PLAIN COMMON SENSE
Nothing Radical or Unreasonable in
Assisting Weak Man to Carry
His Wages Home.

There is nothing radical or unrea-

Prohibition serves the child as well

as the husband. 1t is for society as
well as for the individual, It is for
the governments as web as the gov-
