Superintendent's Monthly Report.

1t gives me much pleasure to be
able to say to the patrons of our
school, that your children are do
ing good work and the outlook is
bright. A fine spirit prevails and
healthy sentiment for gentler
manners, more perfect obedience,
and better work is in evidence
throughout the school. Splendid
work is being done by our Sidney
Lanier society lately organized and
from this throughout the year we
expect many good results.
We regret that our floor space is
so small, for we cannot comfort
ably seat our pupils. In several
rooms pupils sit two in single
desk, and in the high school we
a-e using several chairs and still
have not seating capacity. If you
will but visit the school and see
the crowded condition of things,
you will be convinced o: the ne
cessity of a new and up-to-d date
building. w trust this may
come before another year Let us
plan for it.
Since opening our number has
increased until this time we
have 524, and others are coming
soon. OF this number about 90
per cent has been in regular at
tendance. In the colored school
they have 1I2, making a total in
both schools of $50
We have had a small number OF
tardy pupils this month and we
hope to have even less i'll the flu
ture Six grades had no tardy
pupils and won for them as a re
ward Friday afternoon as holiday

The act of the last legislature

The act of the last legislature
authorizing the city of Russellville
to construct system of water
works has been declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court, the
essence of the decision being that
in cities and towns the constitution
requires that the consent of a ma
jority in value of the property own
ers was necessary before such i'm
provements could be undertaken at
the peoples expense. The pro-
gressive element of Russellville,
however, are not daunted by this
apparent defeat, and it is stated
that arrangements are already be-
ing made to build waterworks
system under private ownership,
and that franchise will be grant
ed in a short time.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The Log Cabin Democrat will
within a short time, according to
our annual custom, send statements
of account to all subscribers who are
in arrears for subscription to this
paper. None of those accounts ate
very large in themselves, but taken
as a whole they amount to more
than two thousand dollars.
We realize that the times are not
SO prosperous this year as formerly,
but still we do not think there are
any of our subscribers who could
not, by making the proper effort,
pay his subscription account.
The cost of producing the Log
Cabin Democrat each week is more
than twice as great as it was two
years ago. Paper and all printers
materials have been steadily adj
vancing and labor has been costing
more and more each year. Many
of the country weeklies throughout
the United States have advanced
their subscription rates from s. 90
to ST. SO and in some cases $500
per year. The Log Cabin Demo-
crat has not done this and we do
not intend to. do SO, unless driven
to it by still further advances in the
cost of printing thepaper. We do feel
however, that under these circum-
stances all of our subscribers who
are in arrears should use every
reasonable effort to settle their &C
counts.

the attendance of young men at
Hendrix is 50 per cent greater
than ever before in its history.
The demand for additional room
for students is so great at Galloway
that it has been determined to
build an annex to the main build
ING next summer which will afford
accommodations for IS young lady
students. AS already stated, Broth
er Thomas informs us that the two
colleges are in very prosperous
condition. Hendrix, which has
been struggling along for SO many
wears under difficulties, now has
an annual income from its en-
dowment funds (raised the past
year by Brother Thomas OF
s.. 900. and is now we'll on its feet,
thoroughly fixed and established.
The college has passed beyond the
experimental stage, and stands
forth as one of the great permanete
e educational institutions OF the
Methodist NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The reduction OF the indebted
Of Faulkner county in the amount
OF S6z79.72 means that the admin
istration of the county court during
the past year has been a careful
one. While the allowance OF the
expenses of the last term OF
circuit court would have made
the reduction some $500 less,
it still means that at least
$1,000 OF the county's debt
has been paid during the twelve
months. At this rate the retire
ment OF all outstanding scrip is a
matter OF but a few years time.

That government oficials feel that the backbone of the panic Is broken is evidenced from the fact that postal au- thorities at Washington have sent iet- ters' to all postmasters whose omces are deposito, les either for registry ana money order accounts. to prepare to receive checks from the smaller omces. Tn the letter it is stated that the au- thorities feel that 1t will not be many days until he New York banks VIII resume the payment of currency ana when this is done the panic Will pc ever.
 While this circular letter was sent to all postoffices that are depositories for Government accounts. there are but few of them effected by the order. Tne Montgomery office Is not depository hut the instructions are particularly aignificant throughout the country from the fact that 1t gives the views "a ia certain extent of officials in Wash ington on the money situation. Ac- oordinQ to these instructions conditions are rapidly becoming better as the postal officials would not say this un- less they knew and they are In posi- tion to know the facts If anyone IS.
 The instructions will be welcomed oy a great many offices in dinerent paIt. of the country as the arran since october 30 has been very incon- yerient. By the action Of the banks bandling United States accounts It mas heen necessary in many cases Tor tne snaiIer offices to send all or tneir u,onev to the Repositories in currency. Tine government requires that all or 3ts cfecks be paid in currency ana .wben money became tight the banks refused to take government cheeks TOT

large amounts On deposits when 1t was necessary to give currency in return. Hence 1t was necessary to nave all the small postmasters send in the actual cash. In many offices large amounts were handled every week and 1t was inconvenient. According to these in- structions it will not be long until the old method of carrying on the business can be resumed
 No notice of the fact that these in- structIons were given out at Washing are not worrying whether the public hears of it or not, which makes the in- formation more significant. Those who are in a position to know state that this is the best evidence that has reached the South of the confidence that is being restored among business men. The hundreds of cities that are now doing business with clearing house certificates are only waiting on New York to resume payment of cur rency to call in the certificates. As the new instructions come as private in- structions- to the postmasters 1t IS without doubt founded upon some in- side information that the postal au- thorities have been able to secure.
 This information comes at just the right time as 1t will doubtless aid lo- cal business men in instilling confi- dence into the people. A meeting Is to be held tonight at which the main sub jects will be the money situation and the general conditions of business. It has been called by the members of the Commercial Club for no other reason than to hea~ different ideas on the sit- uation and to outline the work for next year.

HAVE GOOD GRAVEL
BOARD OF REVENUE ADOPTS NEW
 ROAD POLICY.
slixht Disagreement Over The Quality of The Gravel Used on The
 Norman Bridge Road.

Owing to some discussion that came up in the meeting of the Board of Revenue yesterday afternoon concern ing the acceptance of the new work done on the Norman Bridge road sev- eraI motions were made providing that special precautions should be taken before material for road or the road itself should be accepted.
 It all came about through a report of County Surveyor Bullen in which he stated that while the work on the Norman Bridge road. was fairly good that he was not entirely satisfied with the quality of gravel used. It was brought out that the gravel had been accepted by the inspectors on the job in accordance with the specifications under which the contract was let. but is was said that the gravel is not as rood as should have been used. Every road that is now worked is inspected by MT. Bullen and the Board Of Revenue before it is accepted hence the motions to that effect were not voted on.
 Nevertheless hereafter the name of every candidate for inspector must be submitted to the Board before appoint ments are made. This is done with a view to putting on men in whom the members of the Board know are com potent for the work and the conditions now existing with the Norman Bridge road will not be again brought about. In this connection the superintendent of county roads was also given the job of inspecting all work done on bridges. It Is thought that having this work under the supervision of one man that
