We trust that the action of the quorum court in abolishing the of flee of county road commissioner will not prove to be a mistake. To Us 1t would seem that the advan- tage of having the entire road and bridge system of the county under the direct and personal supervision of one man would more than coun- ter r-balance the small cost of his services. If any business, whether public or private, has ever sue ceeded in accomplishing much without a head, the fact has failed to come to our notice. Great indus trial organizations often pay enor- nous salaries to men who do noth- ing but sit in an office and direct the work of those under them, and they find that 1t pays. With fifteen road overseers, no matter how com petent each may be, we will have fifteen different ideas of the work and fifteen different methods of per forming it. Unorganized work is almost always ineffective work. The salary of the road commission CT amounts to hardly five per cent. of the county's revenue for road purposes. To save this sum and do away with the office may be a paying proposition, but we are in- clined to doubt 1t.

NORMAL LOCATION IS SETTLED Execution of Conway's Bid Ap-
 proved by Board.
Charles L. Thompson Selected as Archi- tect-President to Be Elected in
 November

All possible question as to the Arkansas state normal school at Conway was forever set at rest last Friday when the board met at Little Rock and approved the re- port of the executive committee who had closed the contract with the representatives of this city.
 The executive committee re- ported that the citizens of Conway had deposited to the credit of the board in the two banks of Conway the sum of S5I,753, that they had executed a good and sufficient deed for So acres of land selected by the boord and that they had furnished an acceptable bond for the comple- ton of certain additional improve ments required on the grounds.
 At the meeting Charles l.. Thompson, a well known Little Rock architect was selected to draw the plans for normal building to be erected in this city. He will be- gin this work at once.
 The election of a president was not taken up at this meeting, as had been predicted, the board de ciding that all probable applicants should be duly notified of the date at which the president will be chosen, and November II was selected as the date for this meeting.
 So far as is known no names have been mentioned in connec- ton with the normal presidency except that of Hon. J. J. Doyne, the present superintendent ot pub lie instruction. Mir Doyne Is not

COMMENDS G. w. DONAGHEY
Former Faulkner County Citizen Says he
 Would Make Good Governor.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please allow me space through your columns to speak word in favor of man who Is candidate for governor-a man that l have known to be straight in all of his dealings-and that IS none other than George w. Donaghey. l be- lieve he is eminently qualified for the position to which he aspires aud I know that his sympathies are with those who desire the best interests of the common people. As man. he "thinketh deep in his heart. There are many able men, but few whose sympathies are for the right, and who will stand al ways for the rights of the people. think I know Mir. Donaghey well enough to say that he combines all the characteristics that are neces- sary to make an ideal governor. am sure when he has an oppOrtun- ity to speak in behalf of the people he will be found on the side of jus tice. I believe the people of Old Arkansas can trust him as govern or. l believe when he weighs questions as a governor his decis- ions will be always on the merits of the case, without fear or favor.
 l have known George W. Dona- ghey for years and have absolute confidence in his integrity and abil- ity. l read the Log Cabin Demo crat and see in it that Donaghey is working for the interest of the peo- pie at large.

COLLEGE LADIES RECEIVE
Central College Faculty at Home to Con-
 way Ladies Tuesday Afternoon.

Mrs. w. w. Rivers and the la dies of the faculty at Central Col lege rendered a brilliant reception to their friends in Conway on Tues day afternoon, in the parlors of the college. From three to five o'clock they entertained the married ladies, and from five to six the young la dies.
 The reception hall, library, par Tor and dining room were thrown together and each one profusely decorated with cut flowers, ferns and palms, while from every avail able point of vantage the beautiful tints of garnet and gold, the col lege colors, blended with the artis- tic surroundings, In the parlor immense punches of "black-eyed susans" gave the golden tinge, and in the dining room banks of au tumn leaves and punches of garnet and gold cannas were effectively used.
 From a daintily appointed table frappe was served throughout the afternoon by Misses Florence Ham ilton, Sallie Hildreth, Della Pence and Julia Robins. In the dining room the color scheme was elabor- ated by colored Japanese lanterns, and broad streamers of garnet and

Knowing the deep interest which he feels in the new institution and the splendid qualifications for the position, the people of Conway would be highly grati6ed should MT. Doyne be named as president.

SIMPLE HOME RECIPE
Prepare This Simple Recipe at
 Home and Try it.
Druggists Here in Town Say They Can Supply the Ingredients or Make
 Up the Mixture.

Get from any prescription phar- macist the following:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sars- aparilla, three ounces.
 Shake we'll in bottle and take teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime
 The above is considered by an eminent authority, who writes in a New York daily paper, as the finest prescription ever written to relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all forms of Urinary difficulties. This mixture acts promptly on the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, enabling them to filter and strain the uric acid anG other waste matter from the blood which causes Rheuma- tism.
 Some persons who suffer with the afflictions may not feel inclined to place much confidence in this simple mixture, yet those who have tried 1t say the results are sim ply surprising, the relief being ef- fected without the slightest injury to the stomach or other organs.
 Mix some and give it trial. It certainly comes highly recommend ed. It is the prescription of an eminent authority, whose entire reputation, 1t is said, was establish ed by it.
 \ druggist here at home, when asked, sisted that he could either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription for our readers, also recommends 1t as harmless.

ReprehcnsibIe Habits.

One of the strangest paradoxes In
human nature is that men and women,
struggling apparently with all their
might to succeed, are yet constantly
doing things, saying things, and think
Ing things which drive the very sue
cess they are after away from them.
They are all the time counteracting
their efforts by some indiscretion.
Men work like Trojans to get COW
eted position, and then, by getting
puffed up with conceit, or by some
foolish or weak act, knock the scat
folding, which they have been years
In building. out from under them, and
down they go. Their lives are series
Of successive climbs and tumbles, so
that they never get anywhere, never
accomplish anything worth while.
There are thousands of men who are
working in very ordinary salaried po-
sitions, says New York Weekly,
who might have been employers them
selves but for some unfortunate weak
ness, some little deficiency In their
natures, or some peculiarity-some-
thing which might have been reme-
died by little discipline and self
study in youth. Others are always
driving success away from them by
their doubts, their fears, their lack of
courage, their lack of confidence
driving 1t away by reprehensible hab.
Its which repel success conditions.

One by one Chicago is losing the
laurels forced upon it by jealous
rivals. A few days ago statistics
were published showing that Switzer-
land led us as divorce center and
now a doctor who has been down on
his knees to see rises to say that the
girls of Great Britain are developing
feet that will make the Chicago girls
trilbys look like those Cinderella wore
when she made her great hit. With
the head of the male Briton growing
smaller and the foot of the female
Briton growing larger, remarks the
Chicago News, we may we'll accept
the deduction that man over there is
soon to be the weaker sex. 1t is to
be hoped that the girls will be kind
to him when. at last, he has found his
proper place. BY racking his memory
doubtless he will be able to recall
many times when he was kind to
them during the days of his supposed

Increase Of Gold.

Gold was the substance for which
I'll the world hungered, and yet wien
Columbus discovered Americas there
was less than $3.50, 100000 of it in all
Europe. Surely 1t has been a diff1cult
substance to find. Centuries had
passed, during which this yellow metal
had been carefully boarded, and yet
all of Europe held less than quarter
Of a billion Of 1t. That was a matter
Of 415 years ago. When the great ex-
plorer set sail for unknown shores the
world was increasing its stock Of gold
at the rate of less than $4,000,00O an
nually. 1t would therefore take Eu-
rope 60 years to duplicate its gold
holdings. When another hundred
years had passed the output had in.
creased to se,O0O,0OO annually. There
was nothing startling. in such an In
crease. To bring this about 1t has
been necessary to ransack the treas
ures Of Peru, Mexico and other new
countries. Once more we move the
hand of time forward hundred years
until we come to 100, in which year
the average gold production is only
$7,O00,000 yearly. Certain there was
no reason to fear an over-production
of gold. Another hundred years
brings us to 1900, in which compare
lively modern time the annual produc-
ton Of gold was only $12,000,000.
Thus we find, says Frederick u.
Adams, in Success, that, during the
three centuries following the discovery
Of America, the worlds average an.
nual increase in gold was $26,G6 Had
this modest ratio been maintained for
the next hundred years, the total pro.
duction of gold in 1900 would have
been about $15,O00,0O0. How much do
you suppose it actually was? Double
that amount? Three times it? Make
another guess. 1t was 1862 2,220,915!

"OlIie."

Don't you sec how our little plates of
soup will draw compound interest If
we invite the right people?"
My wife is friend of mine, so l
refused to quarrel with her.
"All right, my dear" l said, "but
you must give the dinner one week
before Thanksgiving"
One week before Thanksgiving"
my wife reechoed. And why, pray?"
Because this will give our guests
a chance to recover from your. cook
ing before the real day Of prayer
comes around, and by that time they
will begin to think about you with
kindness, perhaps"
My wife stung me with her cruel
eyes and went out in. the kitchen,
where the new cook was breaking a
lot of our best dishes which did not
appeal to her.
The name of this new cook was
Ollie.
When Ollie came to the house to
get job, my wife asked her for
her recommendations.
Ollie said that her face was her
only recommendation; but that she was
out late the night before and broke
her recommendation just above the
chin.
Anyway, my wife engaged her, be-
cause what good is healthy appe-
tite when the kitchen is empty?
Ollie said that she was first-class
cook, but when we dared her to prove
1t she forgot my wife was a lady
and threw the coal scuttle at her.
A day or two after Ollie arrived
determined to find out what merit
there was in vegetarian diet.
"All right" said to the cook, after
the last plate of hash with all its fond
memories had disappeared, this house
is going on diet for few days, and
henceforth we are all vegetarians, in
cluding the dog. Please govern your
self accordingly"
Ollie smiled and whispered that
vegetarianisms was where she lived.
Ollie said she could cook vegetables

believe them to be fllet Mignon, with
Pommery sauce, and then she start.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Doane and their
son, Communipaw; Mr.. and Mrs.

she had an attack of nervous post.

I :. As matter of fact, we were both
in fear and trembling that Ollie would
send tomato salad from the kitchen
and before 1t reached the table II
would become chop suey.
Anyway, the guests arrived prompt

that they would fight the dinner to q
