 NeWport.-Newport pearl buyers ie- clare that the past few days has brough more valuable pearls to the market than any previous month for the past two seasons. Many large and beautiful pearls have been given up by the White and Black rivers, thought more valuable pearls to the of either stream to change the beds of mussels. As rule the good seas ons in pearling follow the fall of the river after highwater periods.
 Aside from the purchase Of pearl found by Charley Burdett by William Corley for s1.250. which was found near Calico Rock, and is a 72grain ball pearl, many other offerings have been purchased. D. B. Stubblefield this week bought a 24-grain button pearl found near Augusta for $500, and also secured 4S-grain pearl found in Black river near Corning. Other buyers are also reported to have se- cured valuable pearls. A New York buyer secured q 14grain pearl here for sl25. Charles Wyatt of SaladO found two pearls. One was 25-grain and the other weighed 15 grains. be- ing egg shaped. Muck shells are bringing s20 per ton and sand shells as high as $50 per ton, which is caus- ing many farmers, since crops are laid by, to turn their attention to pearling
 On White river between Jackson port and Batesville. where the boats cannot handle the shells except in high water the industry is attracting hundreds of farmers, for the shells are being hauled to Newport by wagon. It is an easy matter 10 load a ton to the wagon. This part of the river has not been worked so closely and the water being low, the boats are loaded with mussels by men in the river. who use ordinary seed forks and then tow their lead to some boil ing vat along the bank

1on0ke. - Hon. Joe T. Robinson. Democratic nominee for governor, spoke al the big barbecue here Thurs day before an audience of 1000 peo- pie. declaring his opposition 10 state wide prohibition. the Turner-Jacobson bill and Act No. 8 aud clearly defin- ed his position on all questions before the people The greater portion of his speech related to his stand on the pro- hibition question. in which he reiter. ated his support of local option
 Congressman Robinson discussed the needs of the educational, institu- tions of the state. recomm ended a re adjustment of the states financial condition and severely criticised the Tu-ner-Jacobson bill. He also ex- pressed the opinion that local option will more nearly regulate the whiskey evil than statewide prohibition, and discussed the record of the Republican party He concluded with a tribute to his home friends who largely gave the picnic in his honor, and referred feelingly to the struggles of his early manhood, At the conclusion of his speech several hundred of his friends and neighbors passed in line across the platform and shook hands win him, and he later held open house al his home or Front street.
 Regarding the prohibition question. MT. Robinson said:
 A proposed act repeating existing laws for the suppression and regala- ten of the iiquor traffic. and provid- ing fer statewide prohibition has been initiated and it will be the duty of the electors 9ho vote in the September election to pass on this subject. f is neither partv issue nor a political question. However, since it is one Of the most important matters to be de termined in the election, | shall not hesitate to express ny opinion con- corning i;. Viewing the subject sole ly from the standpoint of the public interest, I do not believe state wide prohibition is practicable at this time. I have no concern for the liquor busi- ness. neither do l condone drunken ness
 We are concerned to approve the best means of regulating the liquor evil krow Of none better than is provided for by our existing laws. We have excluded the sale of liquor from all the counties in this state save nine and In those nine counties every woman. by joining a petition with the voters who are against license. can assist in suppressing the sale of liquor. If in any community the women who are qualified petitioners to prevent the sale of liquor within three miles of any church or school house, combined with the men who vote against license do not exceed the number of voters who are in favor of license, is it not probable and does not experience show that a state wide prohibition law will be held in contempt ia that community? I have never voted for license and do not intend to do so. Still. after a careful consideration of this subject. I do not want to repeal the existing laws which have proven to me practical and satis- factory, by the passage of a statewide law which may itself be repealed in TWO years, leaving us with no laws for the regulation Of the liquor evil. have not sought and shall not attempt 10 dictate 10 anyone how he shall vote on 'his subject The question: is easily understood and nearly every
