FAIRBANKS HAS $4,000
TO BET ON MARQUAM

FAIRBANKS, Nov "A careful
survey Of Fairbanks City shows that
Marquam will carry the town by
more than 400 majority.
The white people OF this section
are indignant over the Wickersham

Cotton About Out

Nearly all Of the Randolph county
cotton crop has been taken from the
fields. The last government cotton re-
port, issued the middle Of December,
showed that this county had ginned
$500 bales more than at the same
date in 1924 That is gain Of al
most % per cent.
1t is estimated that the 1925 crop in
this county viii exceed the 1924 crop
by more than 5000 bales. With SINH
lar conditions prevailing in almost all
other cotton growing sections, the law
of supply and demand is badly over
balanced. When this situation pre-
walls, the cotton producer gets about
half price for his product. In this
connection we have discovered that n
benehcient providence neglected to pro-
vide us with the capability Of under
standing why the price Of cotton shirts,
sox, etc, remains about the same in a
year Of under-productlon as in a year
Of over-production.

JAIL CELL MUTILATED
IN ESCAPE ATTEMPT

Another futile attempt to escape Jail
was made by four prisoners IN the Ran
dolph county jail Sunday.
A previous attempt was frustrated
last Wednesday when officers, acting
on a tip, made search Of their cell
and found fourteen hack saw blades
and a frame concealed In q mattress.
The prisoners in the cell, Ray Hill,
Joe Blyze, Jess Goodman and Al Lam
berth, each denied any knowledge as to
the origin of the saws.
On Sunday morning when Sheriff
Perrin took breakfast to the prisoners
he noticed that the locks on the door
of the cell containing the four men
appeared to have been tampered with.
He called in Deputies Stubblefield and
Jackson and an investigation was
made. 1t was found that, In the
search last week, one saw had been
overlooked and with this a great deal
Of damage had been done.
The inner door of the cell had been
completely cut of and used as lever
in an attempt to break down the outer
door. The lower lock on the outer
door had also been cut away.
The prisoners were Immediately
transferred to another cell and the
damage has been repaired.

PEARLING INDUSTRY
MAY NOW BE REVIVED

We are in receipt of communica-
tion from Hon. T. w. Campbell of Lit
tie Rock, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, bearing news
of the setting aside Of the order for
bidding the taking Of mussels In this
county.
Previous to the order which stopped
pearl fishing here, that industry occu-
pied a number of our people and some
sine pearls were found. Believing that
the mussel supply was being depleted
too rapidly the Arkansas Game and
Fish Commission passed the prohibit
ing order and most of the fishermen
moved down the river or engaged In
other lines of endeavor. Mr.. Camp
bells letter follows:
To The Star Herald:
January IL, 1926
This morning l presented the peti
tlon OF 496 citizens Of Randolph cOun
ty to the Fish & Game Commission
asking said Commission TO make al
order permitting people to take musse
shells from Black and Current rivers
in Randolph county, and the petition
was promptly granted by the Commits
sion, effective today.
The Fish x Game Commission made
an order nearly three years ago for
bidding people from engaging in TIN
pearling industry, or from taking mus
sells from Black river between Brook
ings and Black Rock, until the further
orders of the Commission. The ordei
made by the Cimmission today Sc
aside the order which the Commission
made three years ago, so that from
now on people may engage In the pearl
ing industry on Black and Current
, rivers in Randolph county, the SAINT
as In other waters in the state, and the
same as they formerly did in Randolph
county.
This re-opens up valuable industr,
TO the good people of Randolph coun
ty, and will be worth much to then
during these hard times.
Sincerely yours,
Tom w. Campbell.
