DEATH OF THE ORIGINAL ARKANSAS
TRAVELLER.

Colonel Faulkner was born in George
town, Scott county, Kentucky, March
., lSoS, and was seventy.one years Of
age ut the time of his death. He came
to Arkansas in 1923, and settled in
Chlcot county, on the Mississippi
river, as cotton planter. The wife Of
the deceased passed away before him,
IN June. 1871. His family consisted Of
iour children, two sons and two tlaueh.
ters. On the twenty-sixth of July
Colonel Faulkner was baptized hy Rev.
Il. Il. Lee, aud with God before him.
his death was easy.
1t Is we'll known throughout the
Southwest that Colonel Faulkner was
the original personator Of the ssArkan-
sas Traveller" and 1t was his pride to
be known as such. The story, II Is
said, was founded on . little incident
which occurred in the campign of 1910.
when he made tho tour of the State in
company with the Hon. A. H. Sewer,
Governor Fulton, Chester Ashley and
Governo" Yell. One day in tho Boston
mountains, the party approached n
squatter's, for Information OF the rout,
and Colonel ''Sandy" was made
spokesman OF the company, and It was
upon his witty responses tho tuno and
story We're founded.
On the return to Little Rock, a grand
banquet was given in the famous sbar-
roonl' which used to stand near tho
Anthony House, and Colonel ssSantly"
was called on to play the tune aud tell
the story. Afterwards It grew in pop.
ularity. When he subsequently, went
to New Orleans, the "Arkans,as Trav-
eler' had gone before him, and ut a
banquet, amid clicking glasses and
brilliant toasts, he was handed n violin
by the then Governor Of Louisiana, and
requested to favor them with the favor
ito Arkansas tune. AT the old st. Charles
Hotel special room WIS devoted to
his use, bearing in gilt letters over the
door, "Arkansas Traveller
During the war between the States,
Colonel Faulkner was captain of ord
nance Mt the arsenal in this city, until
the place was abandoned to tho feSler-
ais. From hero he went to Tyler.
Texas, where hc still held tho position
OF ordnance officer. At the close OF
war he went to Marshall, Texas, but
returned TO this city. He was coinpli-
mented ny the first term OF the existing
Legislature by the naming after him Of
the new county of Faulkner.
AT the convening of tho present con-
stitutiouul convention he was elected
doorkecpcr, which position, together
with that of magistrate for Pulaski
county, he held ut tho time OF hia
death.--Idfftc Roch Gttzefte. g

COTTON REPORT.

The August returns Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture show an improve
ment in the prospects of the cotton
crop in all the large cotton States,
except in Alabama, in which, during
July, the average declined = per cent.
Virginia also declined = per cent.
Arkansas per cent, and Tennessee 6
per cent. The two States last named
complain OF an extensive and severe
drouth North Carolina maintains her
July average, reporting a general pre-
valcnce of fine conditions Of growth.
No insect depredations, except lice
in few places in Lincoln country. The
crop was 20 days in advance, the first
bloom being on July 3lst.
South Carolina reports Il considcra-

Pl.ODIGIOUS MENTAL FEAT.

Mr.. R0scntliat, the celebrated French
chess player, recently performed at
Paris another of those surprising mental
fcats for which he is 50 famous. He
played at the PtlaiS Royal twenty
seven games OF chess at once with that
number O! the best French and foreign
chess players. It was stipulated that
Mr.. Rosenthal should have only one
minute for each move, passing along
the twcnty-Seven tables in order. OF
course, each Of his antagonists had time
to study his game while Mr. Rosenthal
was busy ut the other tWcnty-siX table,.
1t is quite unnecessary to point out the
mental strain of keeping thus in mind
so large a number of games at once,
during the time they lasted, which was
frome nine O'Clock at night until two
o'clock in the morning. The result
was marvellous. Mr.. KoScnthal won
nty-thrcc games, three We're drawn,
and hc lost only one, Whic! was gained
by Il Hungarian player.

A CHECK OF ONLY 500, 900.

We were told yesterday by IL promi-
nent minister an incident which may
be news and interesting to II large
number OF our readers. 1t is well
known that Commodore Vanderbilt
gave $500, 900 to the Methodist Univcr-
sity, which has since been located at
Nashville. The gift was $500, 900 for
endowment, and $500 900 for the struct-
urcs, reScrving the right to approve
the plans for building. The commits
sion had "a plan prepared for Il main
building to cost Sf25,O00, and twelve
others to cost 81, 1000. The plans were
forwarded to the Commodore who dis
approved them, because the smaller
buildings We're not fine enough. The
commission suggested that the money
