AGENT CAN'T PURCHASE LIQUOR FOR OTHERS
SUPREME COURT RULES THIS IS VIOLATION OF PROHI-
 BITION LAWS.

Little Rock, Aug. 3.-The supreme court has ruled that a man cannot take money from a person in prohi bition territory, and purchase intOxi- cants in ''wet" territory, to be de- livered. without being subject to pros ecution.
 This decision was given in the case of State vs. Brewer, from the Lee circuit court. Brewer had taken mon ey from a friend in Lee county, for the purchase of four quarts of whiskey in Phillips county, and bought and paid for the whiskey in Helena. It was then delivered to his friend in Lee county. Brewer was in dcted on a charge of acting as agent for the delivery of liquors in dry ter ritory, and upcn trial before the court sitting as a jury was acquitted. The state appealed, and the supreme court, finding that the lower court had erred, reversed the case and le- manded it for new trial. The court holds:
 Tt is not necessary ln Oroer to convict a person under this statute to show that he was in fact acting as agent of a liquor dealer when he solicited or received an order for in- toxicating liquors, for the effect of the statute is to make it an offense for any person. whether, in fact, the agent of dealer or not, to solicit orders in prohibition territory, or to receive such orders or trarsa9.t the same. The mere solicitation of the order without the same being filled is sufficient to make out an otfense, or, where, as in this case, the order is not solicited, the mere acceptance and transmission of the order to any dealer in sufficient if the order IS ac- cepted by the dealer and filed
 The opinion in the case was writ ten by Chief Justice McCulloch, and Justice Smith dissented.

COTTON CROP SHOWS
 LOSS IN CONDITION
DRY WEATHER AND HEAT HAVE WROUGHT MUCH
 DAMAGE TO PLANT.

Memphis, Aug. 3.-The cotton crop ground during the past two weeks, according to reports from correspon- dents to The Commercial Appeal. Naturally there are sections that re- port some improvement as the result of scattered rains, but this improve ment was more than offset by deteri- oration in other sections. The ex- tended drouth is beginning to make itself felt, both east and west, and the plant is showing the effect of the long strain on it's vitality. Deterio- ration is especially noticeable in the late planted crop, which is making a very sorry showing. Most correspon- dents concede this portion of the crop q poor chance to make any crop Of consequence, although it would be improved by general rain. Most old cotton still has good promise, but |even this lost ground moderately dur

EIecting a Goat King for a Day.

Puck fair held at Killorglin. is one of the last of the old-time Irish fairs and more than one story is told as to the origin of it's name. Amongst them is a tradition that when Cromwell soldiers were in Ireland a large party of troopers were coming over Kerry mountains, making for Killgorlin, when they frightened flock of goats. These immediately made off helter-skelter for Killorglin. and dashed wildly into the town headed by a great Puck Thus warned of impending danger the inhabitants beat off the troopers and in gratitude dedicated fair tc their horned defender. and elected aim king for z day.

HIGHWAY PARTY
 EN ROUTE HOME
From Thursdays Dailr.


 On their way to Little Rock after making preliminary survey of the proposed Little Rock Fort Smith turn pike the engineering party of the State Highway Commission arrived at Conway shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon, making the trip from Paris by way of Dardanelle and Russellville, a distance of about 10o miles, since this morning. The party is composed of Secretary w. B. Owen and Judge X. s. Kilgore of the commission, State Highway Engineer Hugh R. Carter and Clerk John Harris.
 Sentiment along the entire route is surprisingly strong for the big state road, according to the surveying party. The members stated that cor respondence in the office had prepared them for favorable reception of the plan, but they did not expect to find such enthusiasm as universally pre- vails.
 That the turnpike will have to be built on both sides of the Arkansas river from Russellville to Fort Smith is the opinion of the surveying party The demand on the south side, they said, is even greater than on the north side, and it is probable that the pike will be made to branch and cross the river at Dardanelle, following both sides of the stream to Fort Smith.
 Secretary Owen said the figures compiled by him recently showing the assessed value of the property on both sides of the proposed road, taken with the valuation of the Iron Mountain railroad and that of the cities and towns through which the road would pass reach a surprisingly large total and indicate that the rate of taxation necessary to build the road would be so light as hardly to be felt.
 Engineer Carter stated that the old road-bed of the Iron Mountain rail way, which is now used as public road from Conway to Gleason. a dis tance of six miles, would be big as set to this county, and is worth ap- proximately $2,500 per mile to the county. The new steel bridge at Glea- son, he said, would also be of much benefit in the building of the turnpike through this county.
 The party left after about an hours stay here, expecting to arrive at Little Rock for supper.

VALIDITY Of ACT
 NO. } IS UPHELD

Little Rock, July 30.-The theory advanced by certain opponents of Act No. 8, that all the acts and amend- ments submitted under the Initiative and Referendum have been invali- dated by insufficient publication is not supported by the opinion of Attorney
 General Moose He says that the adoption of the measures by the people will cure any possible defects or irregularities in the submission, Under this ruling, if the people could have a chance to vote on an act, and
 should adopt it, without it's having been published at all, it would be a valid law. Any insufficiency in the petition or the manner of submission must be shown prior to the election.
