How Diphtheria is Contracted

One often hears the expression, my
child caught severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria, when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscept-
ible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. When Chamberlain'S Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger of diph-
liberia or any other germ disease being
contracted. For sale by John E. DAILY

GOD GIVE US MEN

God give us men, time like this de-
 mandS Men with great souls, pure hearts and
 willing hands. Men whom the lust of office cannot
 kill, Men whom the greed of office cannot
 buy. Men with opinions and will, Men who have honor. men who will
 not lie, Men who can face demagogue, And damn his treacheries without
 winking. Strong men who live above the fog, Of public duty and private thinking. For while the rabble with it's thumb
 worn creedS. With it's large professions and little
 deeds, Drift helplessly on, Lo freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land and waiting

There is more catarrk in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro. nounced it a local disease and pre-. scribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with To. cal treatment pronounced it in- curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis. ease and therefore requires con- stitutional treatment. Halls Ca- tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken internally in doses from 10 drop to a teaspoon full. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Ad- dress: F. J.

 It is surprising how many fam;- lies there are all over the country who never read anything. It's no wonder some families of children growing up in ignorance. Homes are to be found all over the coun- try that don't take a newspaper, religious or literary. What does five or six dollars amount to in years time spent for good papers? Every family should furnish their home with papers. They should at least take a county paper, a state paper and religious paper. When you find a-family that reads

DONAGHEY STRENGTH GROWS
Rapidly Gaining Ground in Gov
 ernor'S Race.
Glowing Reports from all Parts of the State as to Prospects of Our Guber-
 material Candidate.

From almost every section of the state there are received in this city glowing reports of the increasing strength of George w. Donaghey in his race for governor. His open ing speech, printed in pamphlet form, is being distributed over the state and wherever 1t is sent 1t IS making him friends by the hun dreds. Men who travel over var1- ous parts of the state who have been here during the past few days say that the strength of the Conway man is surprising. It seems that MT. Donaghey's candidacy has come at an opportune time, when the people are glad to turn from the professional politician to a man from the ranks of business and la bor, and his race is arousing enthu- siastic support.
 During the past week MT. Dona- ghey delivered three speeches. The first was at Carlisle at the Central Arkansas fair last Thursday, where he was heard by an immense crowd. Lonoke county was MT. Oona- ghey's home for a time and 1t was at Carlisle that he and Mrs. Dona- ghey were married. His speech was well received and many voters voluntarily pledged him their sup port during his visit. Going over to western Arkansas, MT. Dona- ghey spoke Saturday at Mulberry the occasion being the formal open ing of the Farmers Union ware house. Beecher Lewis of this city, who was present, said that MT. Donaghey' $ speech completely cap tured the crowd. On Tuesday MT. Donaghey spoke at Dardanelle to a large crowd who were in the city to hear him and to attend the first Of series of trades days at that place.
 w. s. Hendrickson, who has been travelling through northwest Arkansas during the past two weeks, returned yesterday. During his trip through this country he heard nothing but the most hatter- ing reports of MT. Doneghey s prospects. A prominent county official Of Fayetteville told him that if the election were held then MT. Donaghey would get more votes in Washington county than all the other candidates combined, not withstanding the fact that Kirby and McFarlane have just made a thorough speaking canvass ot the county.

COLLISION BARELY AVERTED
Accommodation and Freight Trains Came
 Near Crashing Together Tuesday.

What might have been an awful collision between the afternoon ac- commodation train and a heavy east-bound freight was narrowly averted in the city Tuesday night, the passenger train being Jagged in the nick of time by R. B. Me Culloch at the oil mill curve.
 The passenger train, carrying three coaches pulled by light en- zine, left the depot here on time and had developed a good rate ot speed by the time 1t reached the long double curve about one-halt mile north of the depot. The freight train was in some way delayed and was apparently trying to reach the passing track here, running down grade with a big engine and long train. K. B. McCulloch happened to be crossing the track at the point of the curve and heard both trains approaching. He took off his coat and Jagged the passenger tram, which stopped less than 100 yards in front of the approaching freight and quicklyreversed and ran back to the station.

MANY ASKING FOR FARMS
Farmers are Applying for Government Dem
 onstration Work.

A considerable number of farm CTS have already filed applications for the government demonstration farms, which were described in the Log Cabin Democrat last week. More than the required number have already asked for farms, but, in order to secure the best results, Col. A. V. Swaty is anxious to have about 100 farms from which to select the 25 provided for, hop ing thereby to scatter them over the county as widely as possible. Applications should be forwarded to Capt. w. w. Martin, president, or w. N. Owen, secretary, of the Board of Trade.
 It is more than likely that Pope county will join with Faulkner in securing the services of Col. Swaty. He was at Atkins last week and secured pledges for I5 of the farms and 1t is thought that the other 10 will be arranged for in that county.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS ORGANIZE
We'll Attended Meeting Held
 Here Saturday.
Permanent Organization to be Effected Saturday, November 2-Address
 by Prof Hopkins 3

At we'll attended meeting of the school directors of Faulkner county held here last Saturday, in which more than half of the school districts of the county were repre- sented, temporary organization was formed, which will be perfect ed at a meeting to be held Satur- day, November ?.
 The address of the ocasion was delivered by Prot. George R. Hop kins, principal of the Peabody high school at Little Rock. Prof. Hopkins became i'll after his arrival here and was scarcely able to de liver his speech. He spoke on the duties of a school director and the need of better school buildings and better teachers. MT. Hopkins said that while much improvement had been made in the schools of the city and country town, he doubted If the rural school was any better today than 1t was 40 years ago. Hd thought this tact was due more to the employment of incompetent teachers than from any other cause.
 ]. H. Hall of Hamlet and ]. H. Gore of Holland, directors in their respective districts, also made short addresses at the meeting, after which the work of organization was taken up.
 The temporary officers elected were as follows: President, T. F. Forrest of Vilonia; vice president Jo Frauenthal of Conway; secre- tary, ]. H. Gore of Holland; as sistant secretary, J. H. Hall oi Hamlet.
 On account of the late hour 1t was decided to postpone the per manent organization until the next meeting, which 1t was decided tC hold in this city on the first Satur- day in November at 10 o'clock. The next meeting will also be de. voted to an informal discussion oi the various problems which come before the directors, and 1t is hoped that every district in the county will be represented.

 It has been fully demonstrated minerals, such as lead, zinc, iron, coal, and even silver abound in most If not all of the counties nam- ed, but lack of shipping facilities has heretofore prevented their de. velopment. Hundreds of saw mills and stave mills are being erected throughout this section, and the large lumber companies are "gob- bling" up every available acre of timber land, which I regret to see, as we would prefer to raise our own hogs.

Ask Central About Trains.

Agent E J. Bushell and clerks have been very accommodatingly answering the telephone recently installed in the depot, but they re- quest their friends not to call them to ask how late is the train?" They keep central" informed as to the time of the trains, and "cen- tral" can always tell just as much as the agent or operator knows. Patrons will save time for them selves and for the depot force by simply calling central and asking about the trains.

BIG DROP IN COTTON MARKET
Many Farmers are Holding as
 Price Declines.
Disturbed Stock Market Given as Cause of Loss Cotton Receipts at Conway
 10 Date.

A net decline of one cent a pound is the action of the cotton market for the week ending last night. Cotton that was selling one week ago for TIA cents was bring ing only Io4 cents yesterday. A condition equivalent to a panic in the stock market is given as the cause of the drop in the cotton market. The big factors are afraid to tie up money in the sta pie owing to the stringent fnan cial conditions. It is stated that only one firm of buyers at Little Rock was in the market, all of the others refusing to make price on cotton.
 The receipts at Conway during the past week showed slight pro- portionate gain over the previous week. According to last week s report only 46 per cent as much cotton had been purchased here as compared with last year, while this week the report shows 56 per cent.
 Up to yesterday noon merchants have bought cotton as follows, not including IQ5 bales stored in the Y I

NEW ROADS ARE BEING BUILT
Connection Made With Van Buren
 County Roads.
Conway Merchants Assist in Work-New Bridge Across Cadron at Gleason
 Likely to be Built.

County Judge J. A. Lea spent the greater part of last week in the north western corner of the county, where he is having about five miles of new roads cut out and graded, to connect with roads recently built in Van Buren county, and furnish the shortest and best high way from the country northwest of here to Conway.
 The new road begins at Bates vile church, near Martinville, and runs due north for. about three miles. At this point the road forks and one branch runs mile northwest to the Van Buren county line where 1t connects with a new road recently cut out by Van Buren county. The other branch runs about one mile in a northeasternly direction to Whipple, a little village lying on the county line, where George Krimm, the slave and heading man, is installing a new heading factory.
 Conway merchants have paid practically all of the cost of cutting out the new roads, Judge Lea personality taking subscriptions from them for the purposed.
 It is expected that roads will cause a great deal of trade hitherto going to other points to come to Conway in the future.
 Judge Lea is also considering the matter of building a new bridge across the Cadron at Gleason. The county judge of Con- way county has agreed to work the road west of this place, if Faulkner county will build the bridge. While Judge Lea thinks the cost of the work too great to undertake just now, he says that in all probability the Gleason bridge will be built within the next year.
