Closing of Bethel School.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please allow space for the fol lowing. We, the people of dist rict 3o, have had one of the most successful school terms this sum- mer ever had in the history of our school. We have had the largest attendance of any of the years past. We enrolled I25.
 It seemed that our school was managed with skill. Everybody seemed better pleased with our present teachers, the late Dr. Mat tison and Miss Inez Mattison being our teachers. Doctor is going to leave us. He is expecting to go to to the Territory where he will practice his profession.

Faulkner county is especially gratifed over the splendid mani festations of friendship for George w. Donaghey in his candidacy for governor which have come from our neighbor, Conway county. The practically unanimous support which is being accorded to Mir. Donaghey in the vicinity of his home ought to be the best possible recommendation for him.

VAN BUREN GRAND JURY
Several Forms of Lawlessness Referred to
 in Their Report

III uCAl NCpOit.
 The grand jury of Van Buren county, which adjourned last week reported in part as follows: i've find in the county grow ing tendency to violate the Sunday law by merchants keeping open their stores either at the front or back door. We do from now on admonish all of the merchants ot the county to reform this growing violation.
 "We find that the justices of peace have very loose way in al lowing parties to submit to the crime of misdemeanor without the proper investigation, without sum- moning parties offended and very much dissatisfaction arises from the aggrieved parties.
 I've further find a growing evil over this county where the boys and young men are organized into clan to shield and protect them selves by taking obligations to swear each other out. We wish to warn all good citizens to take action to break up all such clans as such leads to the commission of crimes and outlawry."

THE TEST WOULD BE EASY
Why Don't Capitol Commissioners Avail
 Themselves of it?


 In the matter of the reported in- tention of State Capitol Commiss- toner Alexander of Pine Bluff to carry the question ::of the legality of Attorney General Kirby's opinion which prohibits the further expen- piture of the money in the state capitol fund to the supreme court for final disposition, it was pointed out by statehouse official yester- day that the course to pursue for the commissioner was simple and inexpensive. Any one of the com missioners could present his vou- cher for per diem to the state aud itor for payment and upon his re- fusal, apply for writ of mandamus to compel payment in the circuit court. In the event that the ques- tion was decided adversely for the commissioner the case could be carried to the supreme court on an appeal. In a matter of this kind where the public is so generally concerned, it is very probable that the suit would be advauced pre- emptorlly on the calendar and heard at once. The expense would not be greater than S25 for all the legal formalities necessary to carry it to the supreme court. rt.-Little Rock Gazette.

who has $I,8oo, 900 invested in and around Malvern showed me where he had to pay $625 for the right to transact business in Ark ansas. This man also pays taxes each year.
 The man to whom MT. McCray refers is doubtless one of the mill lionaire lumbermen of some eastern city who is denuding the forests of Arkansas, selling his lumber at a price which makes building almost prohibitive and taking all this wealth out of the state, leaving only the laborers wages which he pays for turning our trees into gold. When the great body of fine timber has been devasted and the last stick of it hauled beyond our borders, what will the state then have? The great mills will be moved away, the hundreds of laborers left without employment and the state will have vast and arid area of stump land, on which perhaps no one will pay taxes.
 "This man also pays taxes each year," said MT. McCray. Yes, doubtless. And, judging by re- ports from counties in which many of these lumber companies are located, they pay taxes on an as sessment ranging all the way from 10 cents to 40 cents on the dollar.
 If there is foreign corporation in the world that ought to pay special tax to the state, it is these foreign lumber concerns, who are so ruthlessly laying waste to the wealth of Arkansas.

The school, which was conducted by Prof. J. s. Utley of the Clary Training school at For dyce, was one of the best in the history of the district. About 60 pupils were enrolled and the aver age attendance was AZ. At the closing exercises there were a number of recitations by the pupils and short addresses by Allen White and c. b. Sowell.

THE GOVERNOR'S CONDITION.

Editor Leon WeStmOreland Ot the Hartford Developer and Green wood Democrat, the latter paper being issued in the home town of Governor John s. Little, publishes the following editorial in last weeks Developer:
 Every week and we may say day, there is throughout the state more or less comment on the con- dition of Gov. Little and the idea advanced that an especial election should be called and a new govern or elected.
 It is surely not possible that the entire reading public is not ac- quainted with the condition of the Governor at this time.
 The statements that his real con. dition has been withheld from the public only depicts a careless ob- servation and reading of the press, for statement after statement has gone forth telling his condition and the reading public is no doubt we'll acquainted with it and should any change take place materially for the better or worse the public would know it at once. The truth of the matter is, while we are not authorized by anyone to make it known, that in a few days time his condition may be changed that his ability to assume the duties of the office at an early date would be assured, and again he may never see awell day. Comment after comment upon this subject only makes sad home sadder, and throws a mist over the star of hope that faintly glimmers in the mind of those whose hearts are sore and pining for an intellec- tual reformation, the restoration of an over-zealous mind and a gaint mentality, the realization of which is not a hopeless dream, but a plausible possibility.
 Yes, the people of an entire Commonwealth can pause at the sick chamber where a wife with untiring devotion waits, grieves and prays.
 It is cruel, cruel indeed for one to continue a comment that would cast thicker gloom where shad- ows hang heavily and the two con tending forces, hope and despair; are wavering upon the pedestal ot time.
 Could our brother editors but realize all this they would tread softly and bow their heads while the people in silence wait with them.
 It is just as reasonable to try tc remove a governor when he is sick a week as year and we believe when the newspaper men of the state look at the conditions in the proper like they will not care tc continue subject that can result in no good and much harm.

FOR GOVERNOR GEORGE w. DONAGHEY OF FAULKNER COUNTY
MR. CALDWELL ON THE CAPITOL.

MR. CALDWELL ON THE CAPITOL.
 George w. Caldwell of the firm of Caldwell & Drake, the state cap itol contractors, published the fol- lowing interview in the Little Rock Gazette of last Friday:
 we have never stopped work. When the capitol commission not flied us of the opinion of the attor- ney general, we did check up on what you might term the progress i've work-that is, we did not con- tinue to work as we would if the building were to be completed within the shortest possible time, as we were proceeding prior to the rendition of the attorney general s opinion. We are still working, and will continue to work in order to protect as far as possible the vii tai parts of the building, which would be ruined were we to leave it in its present unfinished condi- tion, such as the stone and brick walls. which would be separated and bulged by the freezing and thawing during the winter months, and the ornamental clustering, which would be ruined without protection of some kind of roof, and all the freproofng would be more or less damaged.
 "We have a great many thous- and dollars tied up in the building, which amounts have been retained on our contracts as the work was done. In fact, we are more large ly interested in the building than anyone else, except the state of Arkansas, and if we were financial ly able we should be glad to con- tinue our work and complete the building according to our contract, relying upon the state to pay us for our work. But regret to say we are not financially able to carry the entire burden, and we shall have to confine our work to pro- tscting the investment that has been made and the interests of the parties involved to the best ot our ability"
 This statement of MT. Caldwell is apparently so eminently respect able that one is tempted to forget that MT. Caldwell has admitted un- der oath that he spent several thousands of dollars in bribing members of the Arkansas legisla- ture to push his graft measures through that body.
 But Mir. Caldwell does not say that both his contract and his bond require him to protect those parts of the building which would be ruined if left in their present con- dition.
 We did not continue to work as we would if the building were to be completed in the shortest pos sible time, as we were proceeding prior to the rendition of the attor- ney generals opinion," says MT. Caldwell. Here is news to the people of Arkansas. We were led to believe, when the contract for the capitol was awarded to the firm of Caldwell & Drake, that the building would be completed by December g, Ioo5-in fact, their contract calls for forfeiture of $Ioc per day for every day after that date that the capitol was not com p1eted. Does 1t seem from this that they were proceeding in such a manner as to complete the cap itol within the shortest possible timer" Possibly if the capitol com mission had forced these contrac- tors to pay this forfeit, as it was their duty to do, Caldwell & Drake would not have so many thousand dollars tied up in the building.
