GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.
Eight Hundred Delegates Attend the State Convention Now Being
 Held in Little Rock

Little Rock, Jan, 21.-The first an- nual Good Roads Convention of Ark ansas was called to order by Presidnt J. Woodson of the State Board of Trade in the auditorium of Concordia Hall this morning at 10 o'clock. The hall was packed and jammed, and Secretary Geo. R. Brown of the Little Rock Board of Trade, who was in- strumental in securing the large at tendance, reported that over 800 delegates had reported. The First Regiment Band was in attendance and bstween addresses discoursed inspir- ing strains.
 After President Woodson rapped for order, invocation was delivered by Rev. P. J. Robottom of Trinity Oath edral.
 The President then introduced Hon. w. M Kavanaugh, county judge of Pulaski county, who delivered the ad- dress of welcome.
 Hon. w. H. Moore of St. Louis, president of the National Good Roads Association, responded to the address of welcome. He is an ultra enthusiast on the subject of good roads, and that topic is an especial hobby which he has always cherished. His address was listened to with marked interest, and the fact that he was frequently interrupted with queries from the del- egates showed that he was given rapt attention.
 At the conclusion of MT. Moore's ad- dress President Woodson surrendered the chair to Judg9Kavanaugh, who an nounced the appointment of com mittees.
 Judge Montgomery of Lafayette moved that the general assembly be invited to meet with the convention, which was carried, and committee was invited to wait upon that body.
 Mir. Kirby of Miller moved an ad- iournment until 2 o'clock, which was carried.
 The sessions of the convention to- morrow will be held in the Capital Theater.

NEGRO RENTERS PERFORMED.

During the. past week all negro renters living on lands in the Tomber- lin neighborhood, Lonoke county, were notified by nightriders to leave the country at once, and as result thirty five families have moved to more congenial districts. The ex- pulsion of negro renters is supposed to have been occasioned by land owners recently raising rents from S4 and $5 to $6 and $7. This antagon- ized the white renters, and their sym pathizers propose to reduce rentals by causing shortage of renters.

 At Eureka Springs Wednesday night Mrs. w. s. Hoskinson, wife of a rail road fireman, attacked Mrs. Thomas Samples, another freman's wife, with a knife, and cut her severely on the arm and wrist. Jealousy is given as the cause of the attack. Mrs. Hoskin- son was arrest and placed under bond, signed by her husband, but later she disappeared.
 The stock of J. B. Simon Company, one of Pine Bluffs most prominent clothing concerns, was Wednesday placed in the sheriff's hand. The company recently proposed, it is said, to liquidate at 40 per cent, and credit ors refused. It's assets are placed at $50, ,OOO; liabilities $49, 1000.
 Leo Daniels, an employe of the Cotton Belt at Pine Bluff was run over by hand-car Tuesday and so badly injured he is not expected to live. He was riding on the car and fell off so that it ran over him. The car was heavily loaded.
 The search for G. F. Austin, the young man who so mysteriously disap- peared from Little Rock last Decem- Der, is to be kept up with renewed vigor. Sterling P. Austin, the brother of the missing man, announced We'd nesday that he would double the $500 reward offered by him January 1 for the recovery of the body. This makes $1 1000 that is now offered, and is prov ing an effective stimulus for searching parties.
 According to Memphis paper Rev Baily White, pastor of a negro churcl near Little Rock, Ark, walked into the office of Chief of Police Mason Wednesday afternoon and informed him that the whole city of Memphis would be entirely destroyed within a few days. White stated that he had had talk with the Lord about the situation Tuesday morning while he was walking along Vance street.
 The destruction which visited Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of the prophets was nothing to be compared with the wrath of God which White predicted would arrive in Memphis.

Six dollars ton was charged here to-
day for some of the best stove sizes.
Even at the price quoted it is difficult to
get the coal dlivered at points Few
blocks away from the breakers. Scranton
is suffering from the famine just as New
England and other points are doing. Al
most every one in g. position to get coal
has turned speculator. No one ever re-
members SUCK situation here as can DC
found at the present time.
The big coal companies claim that they
bitterly oppose the stand taken, by the
INDEPENDENTS to make money out OF the
misfortunes of the people. One OF the
local officials of the coal carrying roads
to-day stated that they were mining Goa
not temporarily but as business, anc
they would not dare to follow the -leac
Of the independents in this matter. There
is growing indignation among the con
sumers Of coal in the Lackawanna regior
and threats are made of carrying thu
matter to the legislature.

Constantfnople, Jan. 6.-Great Britain
has vigorously protested to the Turkish
government against the permission grant
ed, in September last to four unarmed
Russian torpedo boat destroyers to pass
through the Dardenelles into the Black
sea under the commercial flag Of Russia.
These vessels were about to start on the
proposed trip The British note says the
passage Of the Dardanelles by the tor
pedo boat destroyers will be a violation
Of the existing internati onal treaties, and
that If Russian warships are thus allowed
to use the Dardenel1es, Great Britain Will
reserve the right to demand similar privi-
leges. The protest has caused irritation

OF the Turkish auth critics who fear thai
other powers viii follow the example OF
Great Britain,
