WRECK NARROWLY AvERTED
John Sloan and Wife Save Lives
 of Many.
Dastardly Attempt to Derail Night Passen ger Train Sunday at Mayfower
 Thwarted. Suspect Arrested.

That passenger train No. Io6 did not run into an open switch at Mayfower last Sunday night and suffer disaster which would have caused great loss of life, is due to the prompt action of MT. and Mrs. John Sloan, who Jagged the train with a flaming dress. A dastardly attempt had been made to wreck this train at the south end of the Mayhower switch, but was discovered by MT. and Mrs. Sloan i'll the nick of time.
 They were returning from MT. Sloan s farm near Palarm to their home in Mayfower, when their attention was attracted by the fact that the switch light was not burn ing. On reaching the switch they made an examination and found that the light had been put out and demolished, the switch forced open and an iron plate stuck in the frog, so that the derailment of any train passing over it would have been certain.
 Jim Robinson, a Mayflower ne- gro who was discovered under sus- picious circumstances near the scene of the attempted wreck, was arrested and placed in the county jail here Monday charged with the crime. An examining trial was held yesterday, however, and he was released, proving an alibi.
 No. Io6 is the fast passenger train which makes no stops be- tween this city and Little Rock. It frequently runs so or 60 miles an hour rom Mayfower to C,one, way, and if it had struck the open switch at its regular speed the consequences would have been very disastrous.

 The state board of commission CTS of the common school fund met Tuesday morning in the off ce of the state auditor for the pur- pose of fixing the apportionment of the common school fund to the various counties in the state. The total amount of the common school fund this year is $67e,I3o, ,88, while the 5 counties in the state have 53o,57I children. This makes the fund amount to SIPS for each child.

 Faulkner county, which certi- fled to school population of s. 5S9, will receive SIo,993 from the fund. Last year, when the apportionment was $I. .I4per capi- ta, and this county's population S. 376, the amount was received $o, AS. 6. In 1904, the apportionment was SI.Io, the county's population 8,o36 and the amount received was SS, ,S59. 50.
 A warrant for the amount ap- portioned to this county will be received within a few days, when 1t will be apportioned to each dis trict in the county, according to its school population.

NEW COTTAGE HOME SECURED
Accommodations for Twenty Girls
 Provided.
Ladies' Cottage Association Solicits Funds for Furnishing New Home for
 Central Students.

The new concrete residence built by D. l.. Young on the corner ot Center street and Robinson avenue in this city, has been bought by Miss Bessie Randell, as was stated in this paper last week, and will be used as the cottage home" for Central College girls. In this home young ladies who do not feel financially able to meet all the ex- penses of boarding in the college building may find place where, by doing their own housework, the cost of living may be reduced to a minimum. Last year 1t was only about S6 per month each.
 Considerable furniture, however is needed for the new home. In writing to The Log Cabin Demo crat about this matter, Mrs. o. o. Florence, secretary of the associa- tion, says:
 We trust 1t will be of very great interest to every citizen of Conway to know that through the generosity of our president, Miss Bessie Randell, we have been able to secure home for this year in which we can accommodate twen- ty young ladies. Everybody of the town is invited to become a member of the association. Surely there is nobody in our city who not consider 1t pleasure to give her association dues-one dollar per year-to assist some worthy young lady to spend term in col lege. There will be no extra as sessments on any member, but we do need your dues to spend for fur niture. Our friends were quite liberal in their donations last fall, which made it possible to accom- modate all who came to the home last term. Now, since our under taking proved a success last year, and the enterprise has met with such a hearty approval throughout the state, we are confident of larger number of girls for this term, we must have more fur nitui Especially do we need springs, dressers, wash stands and rugs, but any gift that would add to the comfort of a home will be greaa@ appreciated. Tue Home will be open on Sep tember 10, but until that time Miss Bessie Randel1 will take charge of any donation you care to make. "

DR. VORIS DIED SUDDENLY
Former Conway Man Passed Away at
 Evansville, I. T., Last Week

Dr. c. H. Voris, formerly of this city, died at his home in Mans vile, l. T., Thursday, August 3o. His death was quite sudden, he being in apparently excellent health up to :ew days before his death, and 1t was a very severe blow to his family and to all his friends.
 Dr. Voris was born and reared in Indiana, afterwards removing to Kansas, where he resided for a short time, and came to Conway about seventeen years ago, where he resided continuously until Jan uary of the present year, at which time he removed to Evansville, IT.
 He connected himself with the Conway Presbyterian church under the ministry of the Rev. o. B. Wilson, October 30, 1894. He was consistent in his Christian life, and faithful to his church, attend ing upon public worship as regu- larly as possible for one engaged in his profession. One who knew him well characterizes him as "a noble Christian gentleman. He was universally respected and es- teemed, and had host of friends who regret his death and sympa- thize with his family in their sad bereavement.
 He leaves a wife, one son, Dr. J.. H. Voris, re ;ding at Evansville, |. IT., and two daughters, Mrs. A. J. Witt, IT,, of Conway and Mrs. Ed Flowers of Evansville.

COTTON YEAR CLOSED FRIDAY
Annual Receipts at Conway
 Show Decrease.
Number of Bales Bought by Local Mer- chants During Season Was r3,e57 and
 Number Shipped I4,457.

The cotton season of Ioo5-o6 closed last Friday, August 3I. The receipts of the year in Conway showed a decrease of over one thousand bales from the previous year. The number bought by Conway merchants during the sea son just closed was I3,967, as con- pared with 15,277 the previous year, and 3,846 in 1904. The to- tai number shipped from from the railway station at this place during the year was 14,457, as compared I5,132 during the previous sea son.
 Practically no cotton has been received at this place since last March, while the staple continued to be sold here throughout the summer of 1905, and a considera- ble number of old bales were sold after the new crop was put on the market last fall. A number of these bales are counted in the re- ceipts of the past season, making the shortage of the crop of 1905 really greater than is shown by the figures.
