DAILY EDITION The Log Cabi it Democrat. VOL. i NO. 55 CONWAY, ARKANSAS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1908 TEN CENTS~PER~WEEK CARNIVAL PLAYS IN HARD LUCK As a closing feature of a week of financial losses here, Manager Naif Corey of the Modern Carnival Co. was served Saturday night with an attachment issued at the instance of the brass band accom panying the show for an alleged debt of $So. Corey denied this debt and made a cross bond to re tain his property, but was put to considerable trouble in raising money to defray a few other ac counts made in the city while here. He succeeded in getting every thing squared up this morning, however, and expects to leave to night for points west of here. According to his story Corey has been having a series of hard luck since coming into the state. A car belonging to his show was de stroyed by fire at Pine Bluff, caus ing him a loss of about $2000. He says he did a fairly good business in Argenta week before last, but the unfavorable weather here caus ed him to lose everything he had saved. GONFERENCE YEAR ENDS. Rev. J. B. Stevenson preached his final sermon for the conference year ac the Methodist church in t this city yesterday morning to one of the largest crowds ever assem bled in this city. The morning text was, “Put on the Whole Armor of God,” Eph. 6-13 At the evening services the church was also filled to its capacity. The text was from Revelations, 6-14: “The Christian Ministry.” Mr. Stevenson leaves Wednesday to attend the annual conference at Van Buren. As he may, under the rules of the conference, serve two years longer jin his present position, his congregation and friends are confident in the hope that he will be returned here by the bishop. Before leaving Mr. Stevesou will furnish The Tog Cabin Democrat will a statement of the year’s work and a final message to his friends. FEATHERSTON MAKES A HIT First Number of Hendrix Lyceum Course a Decided Success. If every number of the Hendrix College lyceum course pleases the audience as well as the Featherston entertainment Friday night, there is no question that the course will be the greatest success of any pre h vious year. Mr. Featherston made a decided hit, both in his musical numbers and his imperson ations. Every feature of the pro gram elicited applause, but his im personation of a young lady just returned from a musical seminary was probably most enjoyed by his hearers. WEATHER FORECAST.

Dickinson Talks of Nation al Onion Meeting Held Last Week. Returning last night from New Orleans, Secretary M. F. Dickin son is enthusiastic over the work clone by the national Farmers’ Un ion convention in that city last week. About 1500 delegates from the various cotton-growing states were present. Plans for systema tizing and centralizing the market ing of cotton were worked out at the meeting, which Mr. Dickinson thinks will be of great benefit to the producers of the south. “The plan simply carries on fur ther and gives a head to the ware house system,’’ said Mr. Dickinson this morning. “We already have the local and county warehouses and in most states a state business department for the holding and marketing of cotton. If the plan adopted at New Orleans is carried out, we shall then have a great central holding and marketing sta tion for all the cotton states. The business interests of New Orleans have agreed to finance the propo sition and there seems no reason why it should not be carried out, although of course some opposition may be expected.’’ The most important resolution adopted at the meeting was the fol lowing “Whereas, The Farmers’ Union, in convention assembled, realize that New Orleans is most favorably located by reason of splendid rail and water way transportation, port facilities, nearness to foreign mark et s and proximity to the Panama Canal, for the establishment of a great public warehouse for thestoi age and handling of cotton cheap ly and efficiently; and “Whereas.the financial and com mercial interests of New Orleans have assured us of every possible assistance in this connection; be it “Resolved, That the Farmers’ Union endorse the plan to enlarge the New Orleans cotton market in an effort to carry a great part of the surplus supply of each crop at home and for the account of home owners instead of in European warehouses for the account of for eign owners, it being clearly evi dent that cotton is worth more when marketed as the trade de mands than when sold when there is no mill demand.” CITED FOR CONTEMPT Little Rock, Nov. 16.—Special. —The Rock Island and Iron Mountain railroad companies to day secured the issuance by Judge Jacob Trieber of a citation for con tempt against the Arkansas rail way commission and Prosecuting Attorney Campbell, on account of the filing of the penalty suits against the companies Saturday.

There are now over 30,000 bales of cotton in Little Rock and Argenta, and thousands of additional bales will roll in during the coming week. Acres of ground are covered with cotton in Argenta, which is wait ing for a turn in the compresses there, before it can be shipped away. There is not shed room enough to protect the cotton, and streets and vacant lots are utilized in storing it, and there is no fire protection at all. All storage houses in this city are filled, and every evening wagon after wagon, loaded with from four to eight bales, come in from the near by plantations. This is a mere drib ble, though, to the receipts by rail. The compresses are running three shifts daily and working 24 hours a day. Word has been received here that considerable cotton is to be shipped up from Helena to be compressed here, as the presses there cannot handle the cotton al ready on hand. ASSUMES MAYOR’S OFFICE. A. J. Witt Returned Last Night and Quali fied this Morning. A. J. Witt, who was elected mayor ty the city council last Tues day, returned from a visit at Ola last night, and on this morning took the oath of office, relieving Acting Mayor Opie Hartje, who has been filling the office for the past few weeks.

PYLE. CASHIER j EDITORIAL l AN ARKANSAS LITERARY EFFORT. The Log Cabin Democrat ac knowledges with much pleasure the receipt of a copy of “Pictures and Poems of Arkansas,” which has just been issued by O. C. Lud wig and Mrs. Bernie Babcock. The book is one of the most beautiful volumes ever issued from an Ark ansas press, but its form and ap pearance are its least valuable fea tures, as its contents contains some really fine poems, a perusual of which will be a revelation to many who are accustomed to believe that our state possesses no literary tal ent. Besides the compiler and author of several of the poems, Mr. Ludwig, there are several other writers who are former Conway people,notably Rev. A. C. Miller anc1 M. K. Dunaway. We very well remember Mr. Ludwig’s first effort along this line, which was a thin volume en uueu .ArKansas roems, issueu about twelve years ago. It was laboriously printed by “foot power” on a job press in this office, and its appearance was homely indeed when compared with the handsome book just issued, but its little red bordered pages brought many a smile of satisfaction and pride from the publisher and printers who got it out. The Lew volume is a work of art and no patriotic Arkansan should be without a copy in his home. The price is $1.50 per copy. “How is your Daily getting along?” is a question frequently asked us. It is doing very nicely, thank you. Our subscription list has grown larger every day since the paper was staited and our ad vertising patronage is getting on a permanent basis.

As we stated in beginning the publication of the Daily Edition, we make no pretensions to publish ing all the news of tBe world. We don’t even get everything that hap pens in Conway and Faulkner county, but we believe we come as near doing th&t as anyone, and oar friends can be of much service to us by giving us many items of local interest which might otherwise be overlooked.

DURHAM HOLMAN $25,000 RAIDED FOR COLLEGES At the Baptist convention at Fay etteville Saturday aiteruoon, $25, 000 was raised to pay the debt of Ouachita and Central colleges, $5,000 being contributed by Con way donors. Rev. J. J. Hurt of this city presided over the educa tional meeting which was held Saturday and much enthusiasm was manifested in the removal of the burdensome debts from the two institutions. Rev. R. G. Bowers has resigned his state mission work to accept the position as financial agent for Ouachita and Central, another fact over which the friends of the in stitutions are jubilant. It is now thought that the additional wing to Central College can be built at an early date, and the room is need ed by the school. NEW SUBDIVISION FILED Fifty New Lots Opened in the Boulevard Addition to this City. John Hartley has filed with Re corder A. M. Ledbetter a plat of a new subdivision of the Bculevard Addition to this city. The subdi vision embraces three blocks and contains fifty lots. Mr. Hartley this morning sold six of the lots to T. F. Quick of Higginson, the consideration being $400. Mr. Quick has bought the lots as an investment, and will build a cottage on one of them next spring. Mr. Hartley will also probably build another cottage in addition to the one just completed by him. Hendrix vs. Henderson.

G. Smith FOR A DIET THAT "AGREES” Simple Rule That if Followed Will Save One a Great Amount of Worry. A little joke floating around in the press is that of a man who had consulted a doctor and was doubtful of his skill because he did not forbid him eating everything he liked. ltd opposite, said to be true, is of a doctor who writes much for the pub lic on the subject of what to eat, or, perhaps, more accurately, on what not to eat. says the Homeopathic Envoy. He had written the usual patter about hot-weather diet, stick ing to fruit, “a little cereal,” veg etables and water, and the like, and than was observed on one hot day with a big diah of ham and cabbage, sausages, lobster and ale, which he was stowing away as if he thought it good for him. The average adult ia the best judge of his own diet; he very soon learns what doea not “agree” with him, and. knowing this, the consequences of eating it servo him right. If anything doea “airree.” eat it if voi like it. 8 _:_ PHILOSOPHY OF PANICS. A panic is an evidence of the dis satisfaction of human nature in get ting along with what it needs and of a hot anxiety of getting more than it needs. Prosperity does not di minish the dissatisfaction or anxiety, but increases them rather. There is plenty of money, it is easily bor rowed, this enterprise is suggested and that, and soon these enterprises fail, the supply of money is cut off and there is your panic. It is actually horn of prosperity, or rather extravagance, excesses and wild enterprises that go with pros perity. Bad times follow good times as the night follows the day.—Ohio State Journal. THE NEXT BEST THING. She was a widow and he a bloff sailor, who thought the world of her; hut not liuding it easy to make a landsman’s direct proposal, he de cided, sax's a writer in the Kansas City Independent, to address her in the speech of the sea “Kate,” said he, “your boat is drifting down the stream of life, with no strong hand to steer it safe ly past the rooks. May I he your captain ami sail it for you?” “Xo, Jack,” Kate answered, with an engaging blush, although in a firm tone, “but you may he my sec ond mate if you like.” SWEET CHARITY. .Modern Philanthropist—My wor thy friend, here is a $10 bill which I will give you— Beggar (unnerved with joy)—God bless y— M.

ADDRESS ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO The Log Cabin Democrat Gontest Dept. Gonway, 7\rk. FROM THE l CAPITAL CITY Little Rock, Nov. 16.—Big game on the state farm was evidently supplied with advance information upon the approach ol the enemy, for though it was plentiful on the farm two weeks ago, when the big hunting party, in which were a number of those who directed the Bryan campaign, reached the farm, the deer had migrated to the tall timber. Superintendent Pitcock, of the penitentiary, returned yester day from the farm, leaving the hunters there for another week. He says Governor Pindall and Commissioner Tucker, nor any of their guests, have so far sighted anything larger than a duck or goose, and but few of these have been killed. Delayed through inability to let go of his charge in Detroit, Rev. H. A. Dowling, some time ago elected as secretary of the Sunday School board of the state, will ar rive in Tittle Rock Friday to take up his work. He will be tendered a reception at the First Presbyterian church next Sunday, in which all Sunday Schools in the city will participate. Through agreement, the trial of T. Howard Bunch, W. C. Stith and the Iron Mountain railroad, charged with rebating and the re ceiving of rebates, in violation ol the Hepburn act, which was tc have come up in the Federal court this morping, was postponed until next Monday. Special Attorney Grosvenor of Washington, appoint ed to assist the district attorney in this case, was unable to be present if the case went to trial today, and for that reason it was continued for the week. The trial, though it in volves penalties of over $1,000,000, will be very short. It will be sub mitted to the jury upon an agreed statement of facts, and the jury asked to fix a punishment. T. H Bunch is the proprietor of a large grain elevator in Argenta, and it is alleged by the government that he received rebates from the railroad on the grain handled '■y him. W. C. Stith was formerly traffic man ager for the Iron Mountain here, and is under indictment for giving the rebates. Fach defendant is in dicted but once, but there are 331 counts in the indictment. While I it is possible to fine the defendants j over $1,000,000, it is thought they will be allowed to go with the pay ment of a reasonable fine. Again the contest of the liquor I vote in the recent election in Pulas ki county, which was to come to a hearing in the county court before Judge Asher this morning, has been postponed. Judge J. F. Sel lers of Morrilion, one of the attor neys for the contestants, is presiding as special judge in the Wright will contest, and the liquor contest cannot go on without him, the hearing was postponed last Monday because he b.ad been elected special judge, until today, but as he is still engaged in hearing the will case, the hearing has again been post poned until next Monday. There is some doubt of it being heard then, as several of the att< rneys have other engagements for that day, and unless they can make other arrangements the contest hearing will have to be postponed again. The second week of the Weldon E. Wright will contest began this mornic g in the circuit court.Special Judge J. F. Sellers presiding. The defense is now introducing its tes timony and fully two more days will be requited to examine the eighty more witinesses which are to be placed upon the stand. The jury will receive the case for delib eration about Friday evening ac cording to the present calculations of the attorneys. This is grand lodge week, and with the gathering of the delegates I besides the meeting of the A1 Amin temple of Shriners, the week will be a big one for the Masonic frat ernity in the state. It is expected that tbeTe will be at least 3000 vis itors here to attend the different services. Good for ONE VOTE in the Log Cabin Democrat's $750 POPULARITY VOTING Contest For Dist. No. I’. O. 0.
