Williamson Receives Salary.

By order of the State Board of Chari- table Institutions the state treasurer'S office has paid Thomas J. Williamson the salary due him for the past two months and the coming month of De- cember. There has been contention over MT. Williams seat on the Charl- table Board, as an effort has been made to dislodge him and substitute E. c. Parsons Governor PindalPs appoint tee to that place. The squabble over the matter has been on for some time and during the past couple of months MT. Williamson's salary has not been paid him. It was paid in full, however, after the board had so ordered. MT. Parsons, though he has attended the meeting of the board, has not yet been recognized by the president of the board and has not received any salary.

Secure Temple,

Already a movement is on foot among local Odd Fellows to secure the proposed Odd Fellows Temple for the grand lodge meetings, the build ing which was recommended at the last meeting of the Grand Lodge, Tor Little Rock. Hot Springs, too, is out for the prize, and there promises to be a merry contest at the gathering of the Grand Lodge, which will take place next October, at which time the question will undoubtedly be settled. A fund has been started toward the erection of the temple, which will cost from $48,000 to $60,000. The only oth- CT city in the State beside Little Rock and Hot Springs that is considered eligible as location for the institu- tion, is Pine Bluff, but as yet no move ment has been launched there to sc cure the building.

To Remove Penitentiary.

That the State penitentiary should be removed to the State farm was the attitude taken by Governor Pindall at the recent meeting of the board, and is the unqualified opinion of the State executive as to the proper 1oca- tion of the State penal institution. h discussing the matter Governor Pin dall expresses the belief that with the establishing of the various enterprises now on foot, the location of an experi- ment station and the development of an experiment farm, the erecting and maintaining of bagging plant, and the introduction of kindred enterprises, the question of What shall be done with the convict? will solve itself. There will then be use for all the con victs at the farm, and of course the penitentiary should then be located at that point, for convenience in handling the prisoners. In fact, there would, if all conivcts could be given employ ment at the farm, be no occasion for having the penal institution at the State Capital.

State Charity Board.

Much business has been transacted by the State Board of Charitable In. stitutions since it went into session Monday morning. The contract for the erection of the contagious ward at the State Blind School was let to Domican Krah for $2,625, with the un- derstanding the contractor file bond for similar amount to satisfactorily do the work. The heating contract was let to the Pump and Pipe Company for $453. The pay roll for the month of November was allowed, with the ex- ception of $125, the salary of Profes- sor Futrall, which is being held in abeyance. After being held up for a month, on the grounds the bill was ex- horbitant, the state penitentiary bill for electricity furnished the insane asy- lum was ordered paid Allowing a week of holiday at the Deaf Mute h. stitute and the State School for the Blind, a resolution was passed, also one appropriating 25 cents per capita to be expended for Christmas presents for the inmates of the Deaf Mute h. stitute, the superintendent of the school to purchase the presents.

For School Improvement.

That Arkansas is to keep abreast of the educational movement is indicated in the newest feature in the develop ment of the general program for edu- cational betterment being worked out under the direction of the department of education. This feature is the es- tablishment of school improvement as sociations. As is well known, the school improvement association and it's auxiliaries in this city, as well as in other cities, have proven one of the most efficient stimulators in school progress. Perhaps no single element of organized effort has been more beneficial Realizing this fact, the de- partment has undertaken the spread of the school improvement association endeavor, and the results are begin ming to be seen. Already several of the towns throughout the State have organized associations, and others are to be organized at an early date.

Island No. 7s Belongs to Desha.

This island con- tains in the neighborhood of TOO acres of extremely fertile land, which was at one time a part of Mississippi. The river cutting through made 1t an is land, and the main channel of the river being on the Mississippi side, it was temporarily abandoned by the former holders. After a number of years people from the Arkansas side took possession of the island, which threw the matter into the courts.
