FARMERS UNION IN SESSION
State Meeting Began at Little
 Rock Tuesday.
Over 200 Delegates, Representing 65 Coun- ties, are in Attendance-G. w. Dona-
 ghey Addresses Meeting.

Little, August S.-The Farmers Educational and Cooperative Un- ion of Arkansas opened its annual convention at the statehouse yes terday, with an attendance of more than two hundred delegates, rep resenting 65 counties, It is ex- pected that this number will be considerably increased before the close of the three days session.
 The convention did not get down to the real business of the session yesterday, the greater part of the time being taken up with the pre- liminary work of organization. The forenoon was devoted almost entirely to the addresses of wei come and response. In the after noon the chief feature was the an- nual address of the president, D.. P. Tunstall of Fulton county. President Tunstall outlined the principal questions before the un- ion and made various recommend ations, which will be considered by the convention. He advocated the building of more warehouses throughout the state and he also urged the adoption of plan under which the procucers may sell their cotton direct to the spinners.
 An open meeting was held last night and addresses were made by Governor Davis and George w. Donaghey of Conway.
 Geo. W. Donaghey Speaks.
 George w. Donaghey spoke on the construction of the new state capitol. He charged that the building is being constructed in such a way as to cause an immense loss to the state. He declared that the specifications are not being followed and that the stone being used is not as strong as the kind specified in the plans. He charged than the system of freproofing being used makes the building in- secure and unsafe. At the con- clusion of his speech the delegates asked him several questions re- garding the construction of the building and regarding the tests now being made on the floors. He declared that the floors should on test hold four times the weight provided for in the specifications.
 The delegates in attendance from Faulkner county, besides Secretary-Treas. Ben L. Griffin, are L. s. Dunaway, D. M. Matchett, L. T. Cagle, w. H. Vann and Z. D. Morgan.

CHADOIN CASE UP AGAIN
More Proceedings Had in Embezzlement
 Case During the Past Week.

Another chapter has been add ed during the past week to the vol ume of legal proceedings in the case of the State against Singleton Chaudoin, charged with embezz- ling funds of the Spaudling Buggy Go. Chaudoin, who is confined in jail here, is also wanted in Logan county on a charge of forgery and the prosecuting company is mak- ing every effort to have him taken to the court there. Last Friday Judge Evans, upon petition of the Logan county sheriff, issued writ of habeas corpus upon Sheriff Harrell to bring the prisoner be- fore him. The sattorneys of the defendant applied to Judge Chap laine for a restraining order, which application was argued before him at Lonoke Monday. Judge Chaplaine postponed his decision until yesterday, when the order was refused. It is announced, however, that the habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Evans have been continued.

LEGAL QUESTION DECIDED
Judge Wilson Holds That Prisoner Who Pays Fine May be Imprisoned for Costs.

An interesting question was passed upon last Wednesday by County Judge w. B. Wilson, when he heard the petition of Mack Mil Ter. Miller was convicted on a plea of guilty some time ago by Esq. J. l.. McPherson oi Benedict township, for disturbing the peace and fined one cent and costs. Mil Ter paid the fine, but refused 10 pay the costs of the justice of the peace and constable, which amounted to something like SS. co, aud was committed to jail by the magistrate for non-payment of the costs. Miller thereupon sued out a writ of habeas corpus through his attorneys, Bruce T. Bullion and R. G. Bruce, and on the hear ing of same, raised the contention that costs, being in the nature of a debt due to the officers, one could not be imprisoned for non payment of costs. Deputy Prosecuting At torney Robins, representing the re- spondent, filed demurrer to the pe- tition, which the court sustained, remanding the prisoner to jail.
 Esquire McPherson reunited his costs, however, ill Miller's case, and, having served long enough to settle the constable's costs, Mil Ter was released Saturday.

DRAINAGE DITCH ESTABLISHED
County Court Enters Order for
 Tupelo Ditch.
Viewers Report its Construction as Necess- ary and Practicable to Reclaim Wet
 and Marshy Lands.

The county court has entered an order for the establishment of Drainage District No. ?. of Faulk- ner county and the construction of a ditch along the line for which a petition was presented by c. w. Donaghey, H. P. Ingram and others some time ago, a description of which was published in this pa per at the time.
 The viewers, Dr. c. D. Dicker- son, A. J. Witt and w. J. Wilkins and the engineer, Prof. G. H. Burr filed their report Monday to the court. The report stated, in eff ect, that the lands along the route of the proposed.ditch were wet and marshy and would be drained by the ditch; that 1t was necessary, practicable and conducive to health, convenience and welfare to construct the ditch. The report concluded: "They respectfully recommend that a ditch and drain be established and constructed along the above described route. They further recommend that no portion of said ditch should be GOV cred and that the work of con- structing same should be let by contract without allotment.
 The proposed ditch, which runs through the Tupelo swamp, will begin at a point in section 6, town shig 5, range 14 west, about 31a miles west of this city, and run in southwesternly direction for about seven miles, where it will empty into the Van Etten ditch.
 The viewers were ordered by the court to have the district sur veyed and leveled, to make report with plats and profles and and itemized estimate of the cost of the improvement, and also to assess the benefits to each of the adjacent property owners.
 Geo. Stermer and B. F. Stermer filed an answer and written objec- tion to the order. It is probable that the matter will again go to the circuit court, where it was carried once before and was decided against the proposed improvement.
 The court appointed Sam Frauenthal and R. w. Robins as attorneys to assist in the work prescribed in the courts order.

COUNTS FINANCIAL CONDITION
Debt Shows Small Increase Over
 Last Year
Close of Fiscal Year Is $54,24o.65, or $555.5o More Than Last Year.

The annual financial statement of Faulkner county, published i'll The Log Cabin Democrat last week, shows that the total out standing indebtedness of the coun- ty at the close of the fiscal year ending June 90, Ioo6, amounts to $54 24o.65, as compared with $53, ,685. o9 last year, an increase of $555 56. The indebtedness two years ago amounted to $56,425. "A. Of the present outstanding indebt- edness, S8, ,o7o4 Al is ill the shape of judgments against the county obtained in federal courts, and $I5,I3o.4o represents county scrip in the hands of the county treas- urer for cancellation. The total floating scrip amounts to $3I,- o33.S4.
 The increase in the debt is ex- plained by the fact that total of $7oII.S5 was expended on bridges during the past year, $72oo having been paid for the construction of three steel bridges across the Cad ron.
 The net amount of revenue from the three mill road tax Ill the county is shown to be $822o.4 .46. The total revenue from all sources for school purposes amounted to $27 ,272.Io.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT RAISED

 creased $3ooo Per Mile.
creases This Branch but Leaves Other Roads in State Same as Last Year.

Little Rock, August 7.-The state board of railroad assessment met yesterday afternoon at O clock in the office of Secretary of State o. C. Ludwig, and in an hour and a half made the assessment on all railroads, telegraph, telephone and express companies in the state. There were few changes from year ago. Attorneys representing nearly all the railroads and other companies were present, and were given opportunity to speak on the assessments.
 On motion of Governor Davis, the assessment on the Fort Smith road was raised to $I5,ooo mile, an increase of s, 1000 mile from the 1905 assessment, and the as- sessment on buildings and rolling stock was left the same as in the 1905 assessment.
 The increased assessment of the Little Rock and Fort Smith rail- way, 19. 90 miles of the main line of which are located in Faulkner county, means considerable ad- dition to the revenue of the county. The raise of $3ooo per mile in- creased the valuation of the road in this county $59. 700, on which the additional taxes at the present rate of SI.S5 per SIoo will amount to SHOALS.
 The increase in the city of Con- way, in which I.SI miles of the main track are located, amounts to $543o, on which the additional city tax of five mills will amount to $27.I5.
 The assessments of the Fort Smith road in the county, as cer- tiied by the secretary of state for the past year, was as follows:
 No. miles of main track in coun- ty, Io. 90; valuation at SIP, 900 per mile, $23S, 5000. No. miles side track, 5.25; valuation $I2, ,6oo. Rolling stock, pro rata valuation, S23,SSo. Buildings, pro rata valu- ton, S2oo5. Total valuation, $277,- 2S5. In the city of Conway the valuations were as follows Main track I.SI miles, S2I,72o. Side track, I.94 miles, S4656.
