Anenf County Division

County division is a live issue
in many sections of the State, and
the number of counties in Florida
will very likely be greatly increas-
ell by the legislature at the APP
preaching session. That there is
good reason for the creation of
new counties is shown by the at.
tltude of many able men, who
have expressed themselves on the
subject. Judge Epps Tucker ST.,
a leading citizen of Polk county,
voices the sentiment of all fair
minded men in the following ex-
preston, which is reprinted from
the Lakeland Telegram:
1.-THE spirit of county division
seems to be abroad in the land
more largely than at any time
since 1887. The people of the
eastern part of Polk are advocat-
ing the formation of new county
over there. Fort Meade is one of
the most prosperous business CEN
tiers in the State, and many are in
favor of making new county in
the south end of Polk with Fort
Meade as the county seat. In our
own section the people are NOV
ing to establish II county in the
north end with Lakeland as tho |
county seat. 1t is not alone in
Polk county that this agitation is
going on. There will doubtless be
dozen new counties formed at
The approaching session of the
legislature. Why nots With
rich and fertile country, a large
population owning millions of
wealth, why should the old coun-
les stretching seventy miles in
ength and sixty miles in breadth
,e longer maintained9 Let the
divisions come. The interests of
he people demand it,"

Wheat is Needing Moisture But Corn Shows Promise, s. Big
 Wheat Operator.

New York, June 27.--James A. Pat ton, the well known Chicago wheat operator, who is in this city on busi- ness trip, stated today that the situa- ton with regard to the spring wheat crop is such as to cause apprehen- sion. MT. Patton said the prospects of the spring wheat crop were not pro- missing on account of a deficiency of moisture. Continuing, he said "Al- though July and August may develop rains yet we can already arrive to an approximate idea as to the future con dtion of the crops. Corn, on the oth- CT hand, is good. Oats shows devel- opment below normal in Kansas, Mis- souri and Illinois, while in Nebraska Minnesota and Wisconsin the crop is normal"

Chicago, June 27.-The entire Mid dlewest suffered from intense heat tc day. Stories of death and prostrations come from every direction. Figures night show that p persons are dead while the prOstrationS run into the hundreds. And the end is not yet . Forecaster Henry J. Cox, of the local weather bureau, deemed it advisable to issue a special bulletin today in which he said '"rhe intense heat will continue throughout the mddlewest for several days There is no relief whatever in sight
 Government figures show tempera- lures of 9S at Cincinnati. Cairo. St . Louis, Concordia, North Platte and Tuscon. Chicao and Omaha official figures were 96, while Indianapolis. Kansas City and Milwaukee reported 94. These readings, of course. are taken by the weather bureau towers and do not accurately tell the street temperatures.
 Harrisburg, H., reported temper ature of 112 while South Bend, Ind, reported lO1.
 Cleveland reported all heat records for the June 27 shattered. street thermometers registering 100. SIX persons died from the effects of the heat while. half dozen were pros trated. In Chicago there were eight deaths and over score of prostra- tions. Street thermometers record as high as 9S degrees. The intense heat added to the seriousness of the dog problem. Ten persons were reported bitten during the day.

Movement For Better Highways l. General Throughout Ark.

E. A. Kingsley, state highway en- gineer, spent last night in the city on his way from Little Rock to Magnolia, Columbia county. MT. Kingsley came to this city to confer with White and Watson relative to Road Improvement District No. ,, the Pine Bluff to Little Rock macadam. He also talked good roads with County Judge Philpot for several hours.
 In discussing the good roads move ment over the state MT. Kingsley said:
 "The good roads propaganda i'll Ar kansas seems to be, on the go. The movement for better highways seems to be general. in all sections oi the state. Northeast Arkansas, from the Missouri line to Forrest City, and the Southeast section of the state seem to be vieing with each other as to which will put forth the biggest plans in road construction. Jefferson coun- " udS dlWdyS Dccu dulOu6 eAS ASe"A CTS in road work and Judge fhilpot seems to be more enthusiastic than ever over the prospects in this sec tion. Your county is to be congratu- lated upon having man of the high character and ability that is possess ed by Judge Philpot. The work that he has already done is far above the average not only in Arkansas but ln other states. I rather imagine Judge Philpot, like Judge Asher, of Pulaski, 1 can be county judge as long as ne desires.
 "The State Highway Department is cooperating with the penitentiary board in endeavoring to establish a state rock crusher so that we may be in position to furnish rock at much lower price to various road improve ment districts over the state. South

 To Leave At Will.

Washington, June 27.-The Presi- dent today put stop to the volun- teer retirements in the Navy.

The ef- feet of the order will be to retain in the service comparatively young men who otherwise might plead causes for volunteer retirement.

smith look upon the matter purely as in any particular as having a bearing up political conditions or ill the inter est of any candidate. Mr Smith says:
 "Governor Futrell and l have made arrangements to take up other work after August 1. and both duty and in tercst would be against any efforts on our part to stay i'll office any longer.
 "I have stated it as my private opin- ion that the governor had the power to postpone the election. Governor Futrell has expressed the opposite opinion Neither of us has investigat ed the matter nor viewed the question in any other light than as an abstract question of law.
 eve discussed the matter pro and con in the governors office Thursday morning. each taking opposite sides as we usually do. until We thresh a matter out thoroughly.

 Democrats Story Was Correct.
 The effort to discredit the statement which appeared in a local paper Thursday relative to the governors $ right to defer the election or revoke the proclamation calling it., in the event a contest might render it nee essary to save Democratic nominee, is itself discredited by Hon. A. V. Smith, private secretary to the gov crnor.
 Mir. Smith says the story that was published in the Democrat Thursday was correct, but that it had been mis- construed by certain persons. He had expressed it as his personal opinion that the governor has the right to postpone the election, but Governor Futrell has taken the opposite view of it. The governor said today that he had not given the question suffi cient study to make a definite state ment about it.

TW0 RECEPTIONS FOR JUDGE HAYS Camden People Are Plan ming to Give Citizen Big
 Ovations. JULY 1 AND JULY 4 Special Train Will Re Run to the Ouachita Capital From
 Little Rock.
JULY 1 AND JULY 4

Camden, Ark, June 2.-Judge George w. Hays, Camden's brilliant jurist, will be given a magnificent To- cal reception on his return to this city next Tuesday. July 1, from Little Rock.

 It is planned to make the reception on Tuesday purely local affair, but on July 4, when Camden is to cele- brate the national holiday. another big reception is to be rendered it's honored citizen. It is planned to invite all of Arkansas on this occasion and espec- ially the friends of Judge Hays in Thirteenth Judicial District.

 Judge Hays has informed the local people that it will be impossible for him to return home before Tuesday. He will remain over in Little Rock until after the meeting of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee on Monday, and after the present contest proceedings, which are looked by the Hays supporters as huge joke, are disposed of.
 Hon. Smead Powell, the local attor- ney, to whom is due much credit for the success of Judge Hays campaign, returned to this city today He said there need be no worry about the con- test; that Judge Hays was fairly nom mated by the Democrats of this state and that he, would be declared the nominee of the party on; Monday. 7 |
 Little Rock friends, apf. Judge Hays are planning to operate a, special train from the capital scity to Cam den on July 4. for hundreds of them have expressed desire to be pres ent at the reception to be rendered Judge. Hays on that day.
