Rro. Newman of the Pine Bluff Commercial and the Helena World are after Bro. Gardner because he rather plainly intimates that the capitol commission agreed to pay Mir. Mann, the architect, about three times as much for his servi- ces as was offered for by others. Mir. Donaghey, who was member of the commission appointed to ex anime into the matter, and proba- blv knows more about such things tlan all the other members of the commission, i'll his minority report, rather sustains Bro. Gardner. The World and Commercial ought to publish that report and let the peo- pie judge who is correct ill this matter Hope Gazette.

It is believed he is mud dying the capitol building waters i'll the hope of either securing for himself or some of his friends the iob of constructing the capitol Donaghey has record down in Texas, where he is credited with having done something i'll the building of court-houses and other structures i'll such manner that the architect who planned them had exceeding difficulty in recog- nizing the child of his brain. Who are Charles Gordon Newman and James NJ. Levesque and Geo. w.

 Mir. Donaghey began at home years ago and has erected many of the buildings of this city, among the most noted of which are the Bank of Conway, Hendrix College and the Faulkner county court house. While these buildings are not as large as the state capitol they are elegant structures and re- quired a skillful builder.

As there is talk of moving the State University from Fayetteville to some central point, it would be a good idea for Conway to begin to consider the matter of having it To- cated here. We are nearer the center of the state than Little Rock and our moral conditions are better suited to the proper growth and well being of such an institution. We can raise more money, too, than any other town of our size.

 For the state, at Little Rock, he erected building at the Deaf Mute Institute. In 1894, after the cy clone, he rebuilt the state lunatic asylum. Later he built five or six business houses at Fl Dorado, i'll this state. He erected a very hand some Methodist church at Camden, one of the finest churches in the state.
 His first work i'll Texas was the construction of fine court house at Longview ill the years ISo6-7. This work was so satisfactory that he was given the contract for the building of the First National Bank of L,ongview He also constructed other business buildings in that town. He next secured a contract and erected a state building at Terrell, Tex, which is only short distance from Longview. After finishing this first building he re- turned home and ill 1899 and 1900 he built a duplicate of the former building at Terrell for the state. After that he built a block of the finest business buildings in Terrell at a cost of S2s, GOO.
 We think we are perfectly safe ill challenging the record to show any dissatisfaction with MT. Dona ghey's work wherever he has been.
 His record is one that he should be proud of, and his friends point with pride to his achievements, which, for a man so young, are re- markable
 We believe that his criticism of the architects salary on the capi tol building will not justify any censure. His record on the con- nittee shows disposition of fair ness and honesty on his part.
 Mir. Donaghey was i'll favor of letting the work of making the plans for the state capitol on com petitive basis, but there were many people in Little Rock for Mir. Mann as he had been there for several months and had helped to secure the passage of the bill for the cree ton of new state house. He had the pull. MT. Donaghey has stat ed that E. E. Myers, of Detroit, Mich, and Frank P. Milburn, of Charlotte, N. C., prominent archi- tects, had made offers to do the same work that Mir. Mann has done far below his prices. These offers he says are in letters now on file and i'll possession of the board. Any one who desires may go to the records and inform himself about those matters.
 We believe that MT. Donaghey does not want any sort of coll tract i'll connection with this build ing, but that he dessses the state to have a fine capitol building, erected without taint of extortion or extravaganza and stand for all time as monument to the wisdom and honesty of the board rather than memorial to their duplicity.
