Little Rock.-Pulaski county in the
year beginning September /, 1911, and
ending September /, 1912. constructed
under the supervision of County Judge
Joe Asher twenty-five miles OF i'm
proved water-bound maeadam high
ways and spent in paying for this
work and in repairing and rebuilding
a number of old roads more than
s161. 900. These figures are available
from a special report compiled by
Judge Asher.
Taking a lead over all the other
counties in Arkansas and standing
seventy-fifth among the counties of
the entire United States, according to
the statement of United States High
way Engineer II. =. Burrell, Pulaski
county is progressing rapidly in the
line of road improvement. According
to Judge Ashers report more miles of
solid water-bound macadam pixies are
being constructed now than ever be-
fore in the history of this political
precinct.
Not only is Judge Asher building
new highways, planning them so that
a general permanent system will re-
suit, but he is reconstructing the work
Of previous years. Solid lines of
permanent pike are built with a view
to use and service for generations to
come. Many of the old crooked by
paths that lead through the low places
of the county are being Strengthened
and reconstructed so that they form
connecting links in the great chain
of roads that will eventually honey
comb the county.

PEARLlNG INDUSTRY GOOD
Valuable Stones Being Found In Tnie
state Which Sell High.

Western Newspaper Union News Sarvics-
acknowledgement pearl buyers de
clare that the past few days mas
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 a 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 $3.50, which was found
near Calico Rock, and is a 72-grain
ball pearl, many other offerings nave
been purchased. d. B. Stubblefieid
this week bought 24-grain button
pearl found near Augusta for $500,
and also secured 48-grain pearl found
in Black river near Corning. Other
buyers are also reported to have So
cured valuable pearls. A New YORK
buyer secured a 14-grain pearl here
for sl25. Charles Wyatt of Salado
found two pearls. One was a 25-grain
and the other weighed 10 grains. be-
ing egg shaped Muck shells are
bringing $40 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. 1t is an easy matter TO 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 load to some boil
ing vat along the bank.

Lonoke. Hon. Joe T. Robinson.
Democratic nominee for governor
spoke at the big barbecue here Thurs
day before an audience of 1000 peo-
pie. declaring his opposition to state
wide prohibition, the Turner-Jacobson
bill and Act No. 8, and 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-
tons of the state, recommended 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
to his home friends who largely gave
the picnic in his homer, 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 with
him, and he later held open house at
his home on Front street.
Regarding the prohibition question,
Mr.. Robinson said:
"A proposed act repeating existing
laws for the suppression and regula-
ton of the liquor traffic, and provid-
Ing for statewide prohibition has been
initiated and it will be the duty OF the
electors who vote In the September
election to pass on this subject. 1t IS
neither a party issue nor political
question. However, since 1t Is one OF
the most important matters to be de-
termined in the election, | shall not
hesitate to express my opinion con-
corning it. Viewing the subject sole
ly from the standpoint OF the public
interest, do not believe statewide
prohibition is practicable at this time.

ness. neither do / condone drunken
ness.

best means of regulating the liquor
evil krow of meme better than is
provided for by our existing laws.
We have excluded the sale of liquor
srom 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 q statewide
prohibition law will be held in
! contempt in that community? ] have
never voted for license and do not

want TO repeal the existing laws which

law which may itself be repealed in
