special to the Log CaDln Democrat.
 Little Rock, July 25.-"Jack the Shooter,' who as the unknown assai. lant of women and children has ter. rorized Little Rock for many weeks was shot and killed at an early hour this morning, by Sam Collins, a negro tailor.
 J. B. Brown, a negro lawyer, was the man killed. A few minutes be. fore he had shot Miss Maude Sum. mer, a young lady stenographer, af- ter entering her home and attempting to assault her. Failing in his pur- pose, the negro fired at the girl, the bullet penetrating her hand.
 Brown had covered his face and hands with talcum powder, which made him resemble white man or a Mexican, as he has been described by most of his victims.
 The negro was crawling into a win dow at Collins residence, short distance from his first crime of the night, when Collins discovered him and killed him.
 Brown carried a revolver with two empty chambers, the weapon being of the same caliber as the bullets fired at Miss Summers.
 The body is being held at Healey & Roth's morgue and has been viewed by many of the Shooters" former victims. The police are convinced that Brown is the perpetrator of the many crimes charged to "Jack the Shooter"

Tells Farmers How to Combat
 the Ravages of the Army Worm
By Clay Sloan, Commissioner of Agriculture.

pounds of arsenate of lead to the acre on the plants. If you use paris green, dilute it with equal quantities of cheap flour, at the same rate, i. e., five pounds to the acre.
 Good, shallow cultivation, lots ot lat and clean culture, is one of the best preventives. When there is grass in the field, which is their natural food plant, the worms eat the grass and then go to the plant. Get rid of the grass. Don't lay-by as early this season."
 Some valuable suggestions are also contained in a recent bulletin of the lU. s. Department of Agriculture, ad- dressed to the farm demonstrators It especially recommends the use of arsenate of lead, unmixed with flour or lime, in preference to paris green before the crop is fully matured, be. cause the arsenate of lead does not burn the leaves as does paris green and other polsons when the crop IS young. The bulletin recommends two pounds to the acre. The amount useC is not so essential as getting started when the caterpillars first appear For dusting sacks, eight-ounce duck or similar material will be found satisfactory. Arsenate of lead is 8 violent poison, so do not allow the stock to graze on the foliage where ii has been applied. When the crop has fully matured one pound of paris green with 25 pounds of lime applied i through cheese cloth is recommended 1 One man on horse between two rows can cover 20 acres a day.

LIQUOR CONSUMPTION
 LESS IN DRY STtTES
BREWERS FIGURES SHOW BIG DIFFERENCE IN INTOXI-
 GIANTS CONSUMED.

Liquor dealers are not finding fault with prohibition because it does not prohibit. They are organizing and Whiting prohibition because it does prohibit. There is nothing in the statement which is often heard that more liquor is consumed in dry than in wet territory. No class of men understand the fallacy of this decla- ration any better than those who are engaged in the liquor business.
 The yearbook of the United tSates Brewers Association for 1911 gives table of statistics showing the num- Der of gallons of intoxicating liquors of all kinds used in each state and territory of the United States. 1t is easy to group these states and de- termine if as much liquor is used per capita in prohibition states as in sa- loon states. In the prohibition states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Ten nessee the average gallons per capita used in 1910 was 1855. It must be remembered that at that time Ala bama was not prohibition state.
 Note how this compares with the gallons per capita used in some of the liquor states. In New York the per capita was 45.35 gallons; in New Jer- sey it was 39.87 gallons; in Illinois 39.13; in Pennsylvania nearly 32 gal Ions; in Wisconsin, where beer is al- legged to make cities famous, the amount per capita was more than GA gallons. All told, the average in the saloon states per capita was 25.23 gallons. Note the comparison with prohibition states, where it was 1855 gallons per capita. In the face of these figures published in the brew ers' yearbook, what reason is there in the cry that prohibition does not pro- hibit?-American Issue.

.I23 SCHOOLS ARE
 i GIVEN STATE AID
TWO ARE IN FAULKNER
NUMBER OF AP- PLICATIONS GRANTED RE
 DUCES AMOUNTS GIVEN.

Little Rock, July 23.-The state board of education has completed the task of apportioning the $5O,OOO state aid to high schools for the sec ond year. An appropriation is made for each county, and this year there will be 123 schools aided as compared with 93 last year.
 On account of the increased num- Der of schools, the amount given each is reduced. The normal high schools get S7OO instead of $9OO, the four years high schools $500 instead of $70O, the three years high schools $400 instead of $500, and the two years high schools $500 instead of $350. Aid was given all applicants except seven or eight, and 1t is be- lieved that all except about thirty that are ready for aid will partici~ pate in the fund this year.
 Last year there were eleven state. aided normal high schools and next year there will be fourteen, receiving $9,8O0 of the $1O,OOO set aside for that purpose. The $40,0O0 for gen. eral high school work is to be divid- ed among 28 four year schools, 36 three year schools, and 45 two year schools This makes a total of $41,- 600, and the extra $1 500 is balance brought over from lapses of last year.
 The Russellville normal was chang ed to four year high school, and the new normal schools are Eureka Springs, Texarkana, Blytheville, and Fl Dorado.
 Attention is called to the fact that in 63 out of 93 state aided high schools last year, there were 1923 pupils who studied agriculture out of total enrolment of 6,638. Of the 25 schools without agriculture in the high school, nearly all offer this sub ject in the lower grades. Agriculture is also taught in Al unaided high schools, but there are no available statistics showing the number study ing the subject. If the same ratio is maintained in the unaided schools as in the aided schools, there are at least 700 pupils studying agriculture in them, making a total of over 2,3O0 out of 9,622 pupils in all the high schools who are taking a course in practical and theoretical farm science.
 It is provided that all forms of state aided high schools shall be eight months, and that tuition shall be free to all high school pupils and teachers in the county where the school is located. All schools must enroll at least 25 if located in an in- corporated town and at least 15 if not located in an incorporated town. Normal training schools must enroll at least twelve students, and the oth- CT high schools at least ten high school pupils from outside the dis trict. All schools receiving aid must have at least three teachers. All schools must expend at least $25 an nually for books of reference.
 Faulkner county's allotment is: Conway, $500; Naylor, $500. Last year Conway received $700 and no other school in the county was given state aid.

burg on Tuesday of last week
and adopted the report of the
subcommittee appointed at a
former meeting to draft rules
and regulations for a senatorial
primary and fixed the date for
the holding of the primary on
November 30th next.
Col John T. McGrav was pres
ent at the meeting and made a
fight against the report of the
subcommittee report being
adopted by the committee, argu-
ing that the plan should be sub
mitted TO the state nominating
convention for the ratification or
rejection. He contended that
the present committee had no
right to provide for a primary
election to be held after the life
of the committee had expired.
