The many Americas friends Of Rev.
Allen Fort, pastor of First Baptist
church Of Dublin, who have watched
with SO much interest his brilliant
career as a young minister, will be
greatly interested in knowing that

This is an unusual compliment to
bestow upon one so young as Mr..

in which he is held by his people
among whom he went, almost a stran-
ger, a short while since.

Little Rock, Nov. 15-Special The State Normal Board elect ed J. J. Doyne, Superintendent of public instructions, president of the State Normal Board, Thurs day, afternoon, at a salary of S2, 800 per year.
 This statement will cause little surprise throughout the state from the fact that forecast was printed in these columns Monday of this week to the effect that this would be the action of the Board. Prof. Doyne was not present at the deliberations of the Board at the time the election was made. having withdrawn of his own ac- cord.
 Prof. Doyne will assume charge of the school July, 1908.
 The Board received the prelim- mary plan of Architect Charles Thompson of this city, for a building to cost $40, ,000, and di. rected him to proceed with the detail plans. The board will be called together at an early date to advertise for bids for the cree. tion of the building.
 Prof. Doyne is now serving his first term as superintendent of public instruction, .and the fact that he will leave the officei in July of peXt year opens the campaign for his successor. Prof. w. A.

SOMETHING DOING.
The Railroad Officials Getting Busy in
 the Matter of Depot

Phil Carroll, superintendent Of the construction for the Iron Mountain Railroad, arrived in the city on a special train last evening about five o'clock, and spent about 30 minutes here in specting the depot and premises. Measurements were taken of the building. and the adjacent grounds on the right-of- way. Mir. Carroll came here under in StructiOnS of higher officers for the purpose of ascertaining just what was needed in the matter of additional room in order to properly care for the business of the company.
 Mir. Dawson, the agent here. was questioned regarding what would be needed here. That gentleman told Mr. Carroll that he needed all of the present building converted into a ware house for the storage of freight, and additional buildings to in clude two large waiting rooms, baggage room and an office large enough to accommodate the agents force and the tele graph office.
 These requests were noted, and it is likely will be given him at a very early date. It is believed that an extension will be made at the north end of the present structure, carrying 1t about half way from1the north platform to Walnut Street, the addition to be of the same width and heighth as the present depot.

One of the Right Kind

A new picturesque, romantic cOmedO drama has been made from the famous story of the Hidden Hand" and will be seen at the Opera House, Prescott, Ark, Tuesday Nov. 19. The an nouncement should arouse more than ordinary interest among patrons of the best class of plays or the people who liked melo- dramas of the genuine kind, for all accounts agree that the au- thor in this instance, a we'll known actor, has succeeded in adding to the stock of worthy American plays. Mrs. South worth's story Of the mountain folk of old Virginia will be seen in four picturesque acts full of life, incident, real characters, humor, superstitution and TO- nance. The author has avoided the extremely sensational, but has retained the full charm and power of the story.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, Nov. 15.-The argument for both sides in the Dulaney case have been made and Judge Lea has instructed the jury. The instructions were practically all that were asked for by the defense, with the eX ception of the case being taken from the jury and a verdict of aquittal rendered from the bench According to instructions, the jury must first determine kiz- CTS guilt for bribing Dulaney, before they can find Dulaney guilty of being an accessory by accepting the bribe of S200 on the telephone bill in the legisla- ture of 1905. The testimony of Oxford, who testified kizer told him of giving Dulaney the bribe, and Hawkins, who talked with Dulaney, were stricken out through instructions of Judge Lea
 The case event to the jury directly after noon today. Col Geo. W. Murphy closed the ar gument for the defense at 10:30 o'clock. Prosecutor Rhoten, al though i'll, persisted in closing for the state. Both speeches were masterpieces, and Judge Lea's charge was short. The court room was crowded with spectators.
