GOOD FLOW OF GAS FOUND
Plumerville Streets Lighted Sat
 urday Night.
Tests Made at Well Show a Pressure of Seventy Pounds to the
 Square Inch.

Plumerville, Aug. 3I.-Natural gas is tonight lighting the town of Plumerville. Although all the gas pressure has not been turned on, the light from the burning gas is sufficient to light up the entire town. J. B. R. Streator, the local manager of the company, says the flow of gas is more than sufficient to light every business house and residence in Plumerville.
 The gas is being furnished from the we'll that was drilled about a mile from this place on the proper ty of Judge John B. Jones. Indi- cations of gas showed several days ago, but no effort was made to test the strength of the flow until to- day. The tests made at the well show a pressure of 70 pounds to the square inch.
 The gas has been piped to Plum erville through a water pipe line that was being nsed by the drillers.
 There has been a rumor that the we'll would be abandoned, but how the rumor gained circulation is not known, as 1t was stated today the Judge Jones company intends to develop the well.

.RECORD-BREAKING YEAR ENDS
Cotton Receipts Eclipse All For
 mer Records.
Over Twenty One Thousand Bales Brought to Conway During Season
 Ending August 3l.

One and a quarter million dol lars is, in round numbers, the val ue of the cotton crop which was marketed at Conway during the season which ended last Saturday, August 3I. Twenty thousand two hundred and one bales were received in this city, eclipsing all previous records by liberal mar gin. As compared with the pre- vious season, when I3,967 bales were received, it is a gain of 7234, or more than fifty per cent. The receipts in 1905 were I5,277 and ln 1904, I3, $40.
 In order to estimate the value of the crop, an average was taken ot about 7ooo bales bought at differ ent times throughout the season. The average price paid for this cot ton was 9 S66 cents per pound. The average weight of the bales was found to be 525 pounds. There was thus II,I2o,52S pounds of lint cotton sold in Conway, which, at the average price stated, brought SI ,ooS, ,172. To this must be added the value of the cotton seed, which averaged about S7 to the bale of lint cotton, making 2 otal ot $I4S,- 4o7, and a grand H.otal of SI, 246,- 57e, or in round numbers, mil lion and a quarter dollars.
 The comparative number of bales bought here during the season just closed and the previous season, was as follows:

County Clerk J. H. Hartje has not yet completed the footings of the personal assessment book. He is of the opinion, however, that this assessment will not show much gain, and would not be surprised to find that the personal assessment Is somewhat less than that of last year. He has already noted de- crease of about S5ooo in the column headed All Other Articles, !" which includes household goods and farm implements. The mer- chants of Conway, according to Mir. Hartje, have assessed their stocks at practically the same fig ures as last year. In one or two cases there have been slight de- creases, in others, increases.

COTTON SCHOOL HAS CLOSED
Exercises at Court House Last
 Thursday Night.
with Tokens of Esteem by Students of School

The Farmers Union cotton school ended its session in this city last Friday, after term of six weeks. The closing exercises were held at the court house Thursday evening in the presence of large audience.
 I. w. Wells of Searcy delivered the opening address of the exer- cises. He showed that the pro- ducer had the right to put fair price on his product and that the education of farmers along the lines of the cotton school would do much toward accomplishing that result.
 The next speaker was c. w. Donaghey of this city, whose sub feet was Education as Related to Agriculture. He treated the need of a more intelligently direct ed agriculture, giving some of his own experiences in farm work as illustrations. He referred to the great need of an agricultural school in this state.
 State Secretary Ben l.. Griffin then delivered short address on the need of cooperation among farmers.
 Arnes Oldham, representing the student body, then called J. Alston Clapp of Little Rock, principal of the school, and w. B. Stark of this city, teacher of the bookkeep- ing and accounting department, to the front and presented each of them with a handsome gold mount ed watch fob, as token of the es- teem in which they were held by the students.
 MT. Clapp made very interest ing talk on the work that had been accomplished in the school. He referred to the fact that cotton is practically the only commodity of which tue producer had not the slightest idea of its value when he offered it fer sale, but depended wholly upon the expert knowledge of the buyer. Cotton grading, he said, was an art that could be at- tained only after years of study and practice, but much of the princi- ples had been learned by the stu dents of the school.
 The closing address was prepar- ed by J. R. Williams of Ozark, a former citizen of Conway, but on account of being called to his home unexpectedly, the address was read by another student. On account of its local interest, it is published in full below:
 MT. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
 men:
 This brings us to the close oI this evenings exercise. It also brings us to the close of very profitable school to the farmers of this state, a school that is out of the ordinary. While 1 feel, my fellow students, that we have been great ly benefited by having attended this school, yet do not think that any of you feel that you should have attached to your names the distinction of professor. We ali will leave with the full knowledge that grading and chasing cotton is truly a science that can not be mastered in a few weeks, months | Continued on last page

FARMERS UNION CONVENTION
National Union in Session at
 Little Rock.
Thought Probable That Union Will Vote to Make Minimum Cotton
 Price IS Gents.

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The Farm CTS Cooperative and Educational Union of America opened its na- tional convention yesterday morn ing in the hall of representatives at the state house. President C. $. Barrett of Atwater, Ga., presided. Ben L. Griffin of Conway, Ark. secretary of the Arkansas division of the union, made the address of welcome and the response was made by Homer l.. Higgs of Green vile Tenn, the editor and proprie- tor of the National Union Farmer. This much of the convention was open to the general public. At two o clock yesterday afternoon the convention assembled in executive session and the doors will be closed at all sessions to follow except to those who are in possession of the pass word of the union.
 At the afternoon session the con- mittees were appointed. The com- mittee on credentials reported no contests, all the delegates were seated at once. There are about 75 delegates in attendance, the representation having been recent ly cut down. The union has grown greatly in all the states and conse- quently each delegate represents more members than at former con- ventions.
 Miss Gresham Honored.
 Miss Lutie Gresham, daughter of the late Newt Gresham, the founder of the Farmers Co-Opera- tive and Educational Union, was made by a unanimous vote the daughter of the national union. y The last active work her father did was to organize the Tennessee un- ion. He was in failing health at the time and died shortly after he returned to his home. Miss Gresham, by the vote of the con- vention, becomes a life member of the national organization.
 The annual address delivered by President Barrett was the principal feature of the afternoon session. The committees appointed with drew and will report today.
 Fifteen Cent Cotton.
 While it cannot be said there was "feverish excitement i'll un- ion circles last night concerning the fixing of the price of cotton by theunion it was nevertheless the main topic of conversation. It is the general opinion that the con- mittee will recommend to the con- vention that the minimum price of short staple cotton be fixed at 6f- teen cents per pound.
 Although 1t is possible that the reports of committees will take up both sessions today, it is probable the work will proceed to the cleo tion of officers. It was generally conceded yesterday that C. s. Bar rett of Atwater, Ga., will be re- elected president of the national union and that National Secretary Treasurer McCulloch, of Beebe, Ark, will be reelected.
