THE MEETING IN LITTLE ROCK
Conway Citizens Assemble at
 Marion Hotel.
Representative Body Gathered in Capital City Monday to Plan Bid for
 State Normal.

One or the most representative bodies of Conway citizens ever as- sembled either in or out of the city met together Monday morning in committee room of the Marion ho- tel at Little Rock to discuss and make final plans for Conway's bid for the location of the Arkansas state normal school.
 The meeting was called to order at 8:3o, and Pres. $. Anderson was elected chairman and Frank E. Robins secretary of the meeting. G. w. Donaghey, who has been at the head of the effort to secure the normal throughout the campaign, stated to the gentlemen present that more money was needed if we were to put i'll successful bid. He voluntarily raised his own sub scription $Iooo, and ill ten minutes over $5ooo in additional subscrip- tions was raised.
 A motion was then adopted by unanimous vote to put the matter of naming the amount of the bid into the hands of an executive committee of nine members, and to pledge the financial and moral support of every man present to stand behind the committee. in its decision. The committee named was as follows: Capt. w. w. Martin, Jo Frauenthal, G. w. Donaghey, s. G. Smith, w. M. Harrell, John E. Little, Pres. s. Anderson, Dr. G. D. Dickerson, Rev. J. J. Hurt and Ben l.. Griffin.
 After thorough discussion the executive committee decided to make the cash bid $5I,753, and to offer a choice of several tracts of land containing from 20 to So acres. It was also decided to offer as an alternative proposition to erect buildings upon the site se- lected, in accordance with the plans and specifications adopted by the normal board, to the value of the cash bid made. This means that Conway will undertake the super vision of the erection of the build ings and is said to be worth from $5ooo to $Io, ,ooo more than the cash proposition.
 The committee then appointed G. w. Donaghey to present Con- ways bid to the board and ad- journed to meet at the state house.
 Those present at the meeting at the Marion hotel were as follows:
 w. B. Wilson, J. H. Harrell, J. B. Stevenson, w. w. Martin, G. D. Dickerson, A. J. Witt, IT,, s. G. Smith, D. o. Harton, w. F. Whiddon, c. M. Hancock, J. s. Wester6eld, w. B. Stark, M. F.

CONWAY MAKES HIGHEST BID
 FOR STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

leges in Conway when he was a resident of that city, but at present he was the presiding elder of the district in which Benton is located and desired to do all he could for every town in his district. He contended that Benton was cen trally located and its accessibility was only equaled by Little Rock. The healthfulness and elevation of the town were greater than that of any locality competing for the scholl.
 George w. Donaghey presented strong argument for Conway and paid high tribute to the represen- tatives of the various competing towns. He invited the members of the board to visit Conway where he assured them a dozen or more available sites would be offered, any one of which would make an ideal location for the school.
 Fort Smiths claims were pre- sented by Prof. J. w. Kuykendall. He spoke of the railroad facilities of the Border City making it with in easy reach of any section of the state. If the subscription offered were insufficient, he said, he would guarantee that it would be increas- ed. It was with the board to say how much it wanted. Fort Smith, he said, had the best school sys- tenn in the Southwest and would continue to have it. Its church facilities were unlimited and it was the only city in the state that had a Carnegie library.
 Castel's Plea for Quitman.
 Rev. J. A. Castel of Quitman el- oquently advocated the claims of that town to the school. Quitman, he said, was not on a railroad, but would have one sometime in the near future. He did not think it necessary that the town in which the school was located should have railway connection. Placed at Ouitman, there would be no rival ry with other schools. If the in- stitution should be established at Conway there would be an endless fight between the Baptist and Methodist colleges there that would end in the wreck and ruin of all three schools. Quitman was the sylvan bower of the Ozarks in which would be nestled the normal school. Quitman was the alma mater of higher education. One of the best college buildings in the state, classic in its construction, was there and would be donated to the school if the board would accept it. He contended that the town while not the center of the universe or the center of Arkansas, was one of the healthiest in the state and the spot of all spots upon which to establish the state normal school.
 A. s. Hays of Russellville brief ly presented the claims of his city. It was impossible, he said to enum- crate the advantages of the town and the special inducements its To- cation, desirability and fitness it had to offer in the brief space of twenty minutes. The only ques- tion that would puzzle the board was the selection of a site for the school, so many of which Russell vile had to offer and each one as good as the other. He urged the board to visit Russellville, pick out the site and the town would do the balance.
 At the conclusion of MT. Hays remarks the board held brief ex- ecutive session, at which 1t was agreed to visit Benton in the af- ternoon and continue its inspection until all the towns had been visit ed.
