The cave pearls, which are like true

record by DR. Short which stated that

located No "gt". %"
In an interview Mr.. Pearson said 1t
had taken months to find the Cobler.

disused lead mine shafts on Ball Eye.
The shaft goes down 120 yards Verti-

name of the mine; all that remains is
the building used by the miners for

An attempt has been made to get into

'-' As to his fellow explorers, Mr. Pear
son added that he warned them that
there would be considerable risk OF
life and limb in the search, as explor'
ing the ancient workings was an ex-
tremely dangerous task. Speaking OF
their experiences, Mr. Pearson said
the burrowing underground work has
been very risky. AS an instance he
quoted the visit paid by Messrs. Put
trell and Percival to the Calver
Sough, which runs below the Cobler.
This was constructed to draw of the
water from the mines above and the
explorers entered a hole not much
larger than their own bodies, which

The Sough ran 400 yards, and the

EXPECTED BETTER
 OF THE WOMEN

The next time you hear some body talking about giving the right to vote to women for the purpose of purifying politics, put. ting the saloon out of business, etc, you won't have to point to some other state, where women do vote to refute the argument. Just point him to Arkansas. If the adult women of Arkansas had kept their names off of saloon petitions the state would have been as dry as a powder house today. Understand, we are not laying ali the responsi- bility of opening saloons on the women, but the above statement Is true. If the men had kep { their names off the petitions the state would have mad no saloons. But a
 whole lot of people expected bet ter of the women, and they have a right to be disappointed in many of them.-Sharp County Record.
