INDUSTRY A VALUABLE ONE
Slave and Heading Factory at Enola Max
 ing Large Shipments.

Although the public in general may not be acquainted with the fact, the slave and heading factory which is located near Enola, under the management of George Krimm, is one of the most important manu- featuring industries in the county. The plant began operations early in the year, and since that time an almost continuous line of wagons has been on the road hauling its product from the mill to Conway where the railroad shipments are made. The shipments amount to several carloads per month, and each car load of this class of ma terial is worth considerable money.
 Mir. Krimm is now considering the proposition of establishing one or two other mills in or near the county. One of these will probab- ly be located at Whipple in Var Buren county and when established the shipments will also be made from Conway, opening up consid erable trade from that section.

STATE IS MAKING PROGRESS
Scientific Agriculture Growing
 in Favor.
Railway Agricultural Agent J. T. Stinson Would Encourage Better Farming
 by Offering Prizes.

Agricultural Agent John T. Stin' son, of the Missouri Pacific Rail way, was in Conway last Friday and in his usual enthusiastic man ner was talking better farming. "I am much gratifed with the pro- gress that is being made in agri- culture in Arkansas, said Mir. Stinson. We are coming to the front rapidly. More and more ev- cry year our farmers are, beginning to use their brains as we'll as their hands in the production of the crops. The young farmers es- pecially are getting out of the old ruts and are applying scientific methods to their work. ,
 MT. Stinson was talking to our citizens in reference to a proposi- tion which he will later present to the Boare of Trade, to offer prizes to farmers. He has obtained the cooperation of the government ag- ricultural department and will try in each county to raise bonus of about $Ioo in cash, $50 each to be given to the farmer who raises the best acre of cotton and the one who raises the best acre of corn in the county. Merchants may be asked to add to the value of the contest by offering other additional prizes for second and third best. The government and railway agricul- tural departments will supply all contestants with the best literature and instructions available and will make frequent and careful inspec- tions of the crop.
 The matter will be brought be- fore the Board of Trade and the prizes arranged at an early date, so as to have as many entries as pos sible and to give each contestant an opportunity to make the proper preparation of his soil i'll the fall.
 Col Swaty Here.
 Col. A. V. Swaty, of the govern ment agricultural department was in the city Saturday and spoke at the Board of Trade rooms to a number of citizens. A committee was appointed to select delegates ty attend a meeting which will be held at Little Rock October I2, when several of the chiefs of the agricultural department will be present. Col. Swaty will be here again on October IA, when he hopes to locate large number o1 experimental farms in the county.

NORMAL BOARD TO MEET
Election of President of Institution Likely
 to be Taken Up.

The next meeting of the board of trustees of the state normal school, which has been located at Conway, will be had at Little Rock Friday, October 4. At this meeting it is expected an architect will be employed to draft plans for the building of the institution. A gentle man who is in close touch with several members of the board said to The Log Cabin Democrat a few days ago that it was likely that only a unit or component part of what will eventually be magnifi- cent building will be erected at first out of the funds which were raised by people of Conway and Faulkner county for the location of the school, the remainder of the building to be constructed as the increasing attendance may de mand.
 Another matter which will proba- bly be taken up is the election ot a president of the new institution. It is rumored that Superintendent I. I. Doyne, at present chairman of the board, will be elected to this important position. MT. Doyne is not an applicant for the presidency, but 1t is believed that If he proved to be the choice of the other six members of the board, he would not decline the honor. In this case he would not be a candidate for a second term as superintendent ol public instruction, and it is for this reason that it is thought the cleo ton will pc taken up at next meet ing, so that the matter may be set tied before the campaign for the office which MT. Doyne now holds.

BULLION NOT A CANDIDATE
Bruce T. Bullion will not Make Race for
 Prosecuting Attorney.

Bruce T. Bullion of this city will not be in the race for prose cutting attorney of the seventeenth judicial circuit He had the mat ter under serious consideration tor some time, but since the announce ment of Hon. G. w. Clark of Greenbrier. also of this county, he has decided not to offer for the po- sition.
 Mir. Clark has been in the city attending chancery court for the past few days and said to The Log Cabin Democrat that he was re- ceiving much encouragement in his race. He does not expect, however, to begin a vigorous cam- paign until after the first of the year. The only opponent he will have, so far as fe knows, is Mir. Reed, the young partner of Judge c. M. Chapline at Lonoke.

ANOTHER COLLEGE HERE7
Business College May be Located in this
 City by Former Citizen.

It is more than possible that still another educational institu- ton will make Conway its home. ]. w. James of Jams business college at Pine Bluff, who, by the way, is a former citizen of Faulk- ner county, has under considera ton the proposition of establishing branch college in this city. Ha has written to the local board O trade in reference to the conditions here and reply from him seemed very favorable to the location of the college here. Secretary Owen of the board believes that such an institution would do we'll in Con- way, and would in no way conflict with either of the colleges located in the city.

UNION WAREHOUSE OPENED
First Bales Stored There Last
 Friday.
G. W. German of Wooster Elected to Manage Warehouse at Directors Meet
 ing Held Here Saturday.

The first bale of cotton was stored in the new Farmers Union warehouse in this city last Friday, though the warehouse was not reg ularly opened for business until Monday. J. c. Higgs of Lottie put in two bales Friday, which it is his purpose to hold until the minimum price of IS cents, adopt ed by the national union, is reached by the market.
 A meeting of the directors of the warehouse was held here Saturday, at which G. w. German of Woos- ter was elected as manager for the ensuing season. MT. German entered actively upon the duties Monday morning, and the ware house will be kept open early and late throughout the cotton season.
 It is said that many Faulkner county farmers will not sell their cotton this year under the mini mum price of IS cents. Most oi the farmers ill this section have been placed in fairly good inan- cial shape by the good crops of last year, and, realizing the ex- treme shortness of the crop this year, they are able tc carry their cotton and will refuse to sell until they get the union price.
 The new warehouse has ca pscity of from 1900 to 2ooo bales. It is built of brick in a substantial manner and is conveniently located both to the business section of the city and to the sidetracks of the railway. The charges on cotton, for weighing, storage, insurance and handling will be 60 cents per bale for the first month, aud a much smaller charge for each ad- ditional month a bale is left in the warehouse. Cotton placed in the warehouse will, of course, be sub- ject to the owners orders, and may be sold at his option, though it will iii most cases be sold as soon as 5 cents a pound can be obtain | ed for 1t.

MANY WILL HEAR DONAGHEY
Large Crowd to go from Conway
 to M0rrilton.
To Hear Opening Address of Faulkner County's Candidate for Governor,
 October 2.

A large crowd from this county are planning to go to Morrilton on October :, at which time Hon. George w. Donaghey will deliver the opening address in his cam paign for the Democratic nomina- tin for governor of Arkansas. From present indications the num- Der who will attend from this city will be limited only by the accom- odations obtainable on the regular train on that date, while a large number from the northern and western part of the county will go by wagon and other conveyances.
 A meeting of number of citi- zens of this city was held few days ago, at which it was suggest ed as a mark of appreciation of the interest which Conway county~is showing in Faulkner county's S gubernatorial candidate, special train should be obtained for the occasion. A committee composed of Jo Frauenthal, Ben l.. Griffin and several others, was appointed to arrange for train, the expense of which was to be borne by the citi- zens of the city. From some cause, however, the railway has re- fused to furnish this train, the fol- lowing letter from Superintendent ]. M. Walsh having been received by the committee:
 Gentlemen: Referring to your letter relative to special train, or additional coaches, from Conway to Morrilton and return, October 7: Wish to advise, under our present rules, we do not care to make an arrangement for special train, and we are advised that the general transportation department is unable to supply equipment to take care of the business oil Octo- Der :; therefore, will be unable to furnish any rate for special serv- ice. Yours truly,
 y. M. Walsh, Supt." /"
 Morrilton Making Preparations.
 Morrilton is making big prepar- ations for the entertainment of a mammoth crowd on the date of MT. Donaghey's opening address. A big free barbecue has been ar ranged, and the citizens of that place are expecting October 7 to be red letter day in the city's history.
 The unanimity with which the Democrats of Conway county have centered upon Mir. Donaghey as their candidate !or governor is very gratifying to his friends in this city and county, and they say they are going to do all in their power to show their appreciation.
