meet in regular session until next year and to wait that long to correct the law and stop this evil traffic will result in great demoralization of our people and communities to the bad name of our state and to the deterior- ation in the morals of our people and the weakening of our social fiber when we need our strength to be at it's greatest.
 Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises we do respectfully peti- tion Gov. c. H. Brough to convene the legislature of Arkansas in special session speedily, to the end that we may have such advanced prohibition legislation as to the times in which we are living and the judgment of the legislators may warrant, including the ratification of the National Pro- hibition Amendment
 Be it further resolved that copy of these resolution be sent to the governor and copy given to the press with the request that they be published

WOMEN READY
 TO REGISTER
More Than Fifty Ladies Attend Meet ing Monday Afternoon At The
 High School Building.

1 As a result of meeting of women at the High school auditorium Monday afternoon the work of taking a census of woman power in Jackson county
 will begin auspiciously next Monday morning, and from the enthusiasm prevailing throughout the session one is to judge that the work will be carried to successful conclusion, with the enrolment of every patriot ic woman in the county for service in some branch necessary for the prose cution of the war.
 The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Claude M. Erwin, chairman of the County Woman's Committee, Council of Defense, who explained the work in detail to the different chair
 men, the latter gaining a complete 1 knowledge of the registration pro-
 gram which will enable them to begin
 their work efficiently.
 Committees were formed and regis
 tration stations will be placed at all
 points of the county during next
 week. The local committees are Mrs. S. R. Phillips, Mrs. Joe L. Bevens,
 Mrs. s. c. Hardage and Mrs. c. Bach,
 who will occupy booth at the county
 court house, and Mrs. Chas. G. Henry,
 Mrs. c. E. Hipolite, Mrs. J. O. Powell
 and Mrs. Marion Dickens, who will be
 stationed at the city hall. The out of
 town chairmen present were Mrs. K.
 K. Kimberlin of Tuckerman, Mrs. V.
 M. Mcdowell of Tupelo, and Mrs Sig
 Shoffner of Shoffner, who pledged their efforts to the work in their re- spective districts.
 A feature of the meeting was a poem on registration work by Mrs.
 Gillieus Hercus and a song on the
 same subject by Miss Dove Erwin which song will also be rendered at
 the Madaline Theatre Monday night
 by Mrs. c. P Randy, when lady four
 minute speakers will begin weeks speech-making.
 The women of Newport have taken hold of the work very enthusiastically,
 and while it is merely left to their wishes as to whether they shall regis
 ter, Newport and Jackson are not ex- pected to fall down in this campaign, but will carry it through successfully,
 as they have all other patriotic under takings.

county. Of course, line-ups are ru- mored, and slates are in the making, but more and more pointedly the proposition is driving home, that the whipping of the Kaiser is of greater importance than the election of a sheriff or county clerk.
 And so with state and district of ficers. Prospective candidates are themselves most excited over the po- litical situation.
 There will be fewer contests this year than usual, although some may develop later into quite lively scrimmages with some elements of old-fashioned interest.
 Judge L. c. Smith, of Arkansas county, who ran second for governor in 1916, has opened headquarters in Little Rock, with staff of retainers, and announces his intention of seek ing the nomination for governor over Dr. Brough, who will be candidate for second term. Gov. Brough is not showing any evidence of a speeding up campaign on account of the prospective opposition.
 Then there is Jim c. Ferguson who is out after Commissioner John H.. Pages job, and Uncle Joe Ferguson and Ernest Tipton aspire to handle the states finances after Rusfus Me- Daniels quits the state treasury.
 And when that is said, about all is said. so liar as state offices are con- cerned, for most of the others are seeking a second term.
 The senatorial situation has been complicated by the positive entry Of Col. s. Brundidge into the lists as a contender for the toga now worn by Joe T. Robinson of the adjoining

There was very little activity in circuit court today, owing to the fact that some of the cases coming up had to be continued. Since the army has claimed so great a number of persons from the county, it is impossible to dispose of some of the cases be- cause some of the witnesses are in national service.
 The case of Zeff Mimms, of New ark, charged with first degree mur- der, will be taken up in the court to- morrow.
