FINANCIAL CONDITION BETTER
Banks, However, Still Limiting
Currency Payments.
Cashiers of Local Banks Report That Peo-
pie are Accepting Situation in
Good Spirit.

The condition of the financial
world has considerably improved
during the past week, though the
banks are still limiting the pay
ment of currency to their deposi-
tors. 1t is predicted that within
a few days the stringency will be
relieved, as an engagement of over
SIS ,ooo, 900 in gold from Europe
is now on its way to New York.
The cashiers and officers of both
the local banks are very much
gratifed over the good spirit in
which their patrons are accepting
the enforced conditions. No one,
they say, seems disposed to attach
any blame upon the Conway banks
for adopting the rule of limiting
payments of currency under the
circumstances.
A large amount of certificates
have been prepared for circulation,
but up to yesterday the conditions
had not demanded their issuance.
The supply of currency at neither
bank has been diminished since
the rule went into effect, as the To-
cal patrons are depositing their
currency as usual.

BURKETT'S INJURIES ARE FATAL
Died at Little Rock Thursday
Morning.
Wife and Stepson, Held for Crime, Re-
leased After Coroner's Inquest
Here Friday.

The injuries received by DR.. NJ.
c. Burkett of near Cato, who was
mysteriously assaulted on the night
of October 20, proved fatal, and he
died at Little Rock hospital early
last Thursday morning. His wife
and stepson, Gordie Phillips, who
were held for the crime, were re-
leased after the coroner inquest
which was had here Friday.
The assault occurred at DR..
Burkett's home between and 9
O. clock at night, while he and all
the members of his family were
asleep in the same room. His
skull was fractured, and he never
regained consciousness from the
time the blow was struck. Sus-
pected of being implicated in the
crime, his wife and stepson were
committed to Jail, where they re-
mained until last Friday.
The body of DR.. Burkett was
brought to this city Thursday and
the inquest was held by Coroner
J. H. Pence Friday. Several wit
nesses were examined before the
jury, but not a word of evidence
was brought out to throw any fur
ther light on the tragedy. AT the
conclusion of the hearing the jury
rendered a verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death from
blows with a blunt instrument iu
flicted by some person or persons
unknown to the jury.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Campbell then dismissed the charge
against Mrs. Burkett and Gordie
Phillips and they were released.
SO far as known the officers have
no clue as to the perpetrator of the
crime.

A ;RICULTURAL ACT. HERE
John T. Stinson InspeCts Demonstration
Farm of w. H. Crouch.

John 7. Stinson, agricultural
agent Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain railways, inspected the
cotton and corn demonstrations on
the farm of w. H. Crouch Tues
day, accompanied by J. d. Collier.
The results obtained by Mr..
Crouch on account of usiug mod
ern methods of culture and i'm
proved cotton seed are very salts
factory, according to Mr.. Stinson.
His yield of cotton is doubled
where he followed the methods
advised by the government farm
demonstration agent and he is en-
thusiastic over the result. He al
so raised some fine white wonder
corn in spite of the unfavorable
season.
Mr.. Stinson says that modern
methods of cultivating the soil for
the cotton crop brings large returns.
1t would be a good plan to follow
closely the directions given by Mr..
S. A. Knapp printed in the Log

ing for next cotton crop, he thinks.

MAY HAVE SOME OPPOSITION
Serond- Term Candidates May be
Opposed.
Two Candidates Already Decided and 9th
ars May Follow Several in Race
for County Clerk.

From present indications it seems
that several of the Faulkner county
officials who are now holding their
first terms will meet with opposi-
tion by other candidates when
they go before the people in the
next campaign to ask for the GUS
tomary second term. Two candi-
dates have already announced their
intention of making the race
against second-term men, and
others are mentioned as probable
candidates.
The county officers who are now
holding their first terms and who
will be candidates for second terms
are as follows:
Representatives.. J. Bullion.
County Judge-J. A. Lea.
Sheriff-W. NJ Brady.
Circuit Clerk-A. NJ. Ledbetter.
Treasurer-J. R. Giddens.
Assessor-W. w. Bishop.
Coroner-J. H. Pence.
So far as is known, George d.
Sowell of near Vilonia is the first
to break the ice and offer opposi-
ton to a candidate for a second
term. Last week he authorized
The Log Cabin Democrat to state
that he would be in the race to
succeed Prof. Bullion for represen-
tative. R. K. Wilkerson of Beryl
was in the city yesterday and stat
ed to his friends that it was his in
tention to enter the race for county
treasurer against J. R. Giddens
He claims the fact that Mr.. Gid
dens himself made the race for this
office against a candidate for sec
ond term, \. J. Witt, warrants
him in offering opposition to Mr..
Giddens. Those in close touch
with county politics are saying
now that practically all of the sec
ond-term men will be opposed.
c.. A. Maddox of Mt. Vernon is
said to be considering the matter
of making the race for county judge
and J. w. Akin of Conway, it is
stated, is probable candidate for
circuit clerk. The Log Cabin
Democrat has not been able to
learn the names of any prospective
candidates for sheriff and assessor.
County Clerks Race.
At this writing one thing is sure,
and that is that there will be a
race for the Office of county clerk.
Six candidates are already out for
this position and others may an
nounce before the entries are closed
Those who now intend to make
the race are Z. H Edwards of Vi
lonia, R. f. Adams of near Con
way. l. c.. Williams of Wooster,
\. O. Melton of Cato and R A
Reynolds and A ]. Witt of Con-
way. The friends of the present
incumbent, J. H. Hartje, who is
now holding his second term, are
urging him to otter tor the othCe
again. He is perhaps more famll-
lar with the county records than
any man in the county and it IS
thought by some that with big
field of candidates i'll opposition he
would make strong race for a
third term.

KIRBY AND H|NEMON IN TILT
Gubernatorial Candidates EX-
change Personalities.
Hinemon Ridicules Kirby, Who Retaliates
by Alleging Misuse of Funds by
School Man.

Three of the candidates for gov
Kirby, Hineron and McFarlane
spoke at Russellville Monday and
engaged in mud Singing debate,
such as has been characteristic of
similar campaigns in recent years.
The tilt between Hinemon and
Kirby was precipitated by an open
letter which the former addressed
to the latter, published in Sun
days Little Rock papers. In this
letter Mr.. Hinemon ridiculed in
scathing terms his opponent, who
had been challenging him to a
Joint debate. The letter in part
follows:
Il am led to wonder how you
have suddenly acquired so much
courage and zeal for public debate.
l distinctly remember that only
two years ago the Hon. X. O.
Pindall, now acting governor, but
at that time a candidate against
you for the nomination Of attorney
general, repeatedly invited and
urged you to meet him in joint
discussion and finally succeeded in
cornering you at Pine Bluff where
he forced you to meet him one
time to your evident discontinue.
Il am informed that at some of
your appointments not more than
ten per cent of the Democratic
voters came out to hear your
attempts at the spectacular and
that you actually tried to wax
warm and eloquent" before au-
diences of from 25 to 80 voters.
How your ambitious heart must
have thrilled as you rose to address
those vast audiences
Will you pardon the sugges
ton that you might use a little OF
your spare time assisting valiant
Lewis Rhoton in MS prosecution OF
I &c boodlers2 Is it not fact that
you declined to assist Mr.. Rhoton,
giving as your excuse the state
ment that you did not have the
time to spare to help him' Do
you not think that you could bet
ter earn your salary in aiding Mr..
Rhoton in his faithful efforts for
the good of the state than you can
by devoting your time and energies
in an attempt to secure a JOINT
campaign for the next FIVE months?
Is it not possible that the voters
may answer this question in way
that you can not understand?'
Kirby:Brings Charge.
In his speech at Russeliville
Monday Kirby got back at Hine-
mon by charging that Hinemon
had received 10000 from the Pea
body fund while superintendent of
public instruction and has never
accounted for the use of the funds.
This charge was vigorously denied
by Hinemon.
Senator Jeff Davis was present at
the speaking and, according to a
newspaper report, led in the cheer
ing for Kirby.
a report from Russellville
received in this city yesterday says
that Mr.. Donaghey is losing moth
ing by his refusal to Join in such a
debate as occurred there Monday.
On the contrary, says the report,
the people seem to be growing

and personal abuse and their re-

IS STILL GAINING GROUND
George w. Donaghey Reports Increasing
Strength in Gubernatorial Race.

George w. Donaghey. Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, was
in his office in this city first of the
week. For the past ten days he
has been in the extreme northern
part of the state, and he reports his
prospects as most hattering in that
section of the state. He spoke at
several points while on the trip
and was greeted with large audi
ences at each appointment.
Mr.. Donaghey says that he will
continue for the present, at least,
the method of campaign which ne
has been pursuing since he made
his announcement. II am going
to travel over as much of the state
as possible and meet as many peO-
pie as | can, apd where the oppOr

not running on the demerits of any
other candidate, but am endeavor

manner, to present my views on

pie. believe the people of Ar
kansas are thoroughly tired of a
campaign of personalities and abb
use, and | would not enter such a
campaign even if thought it would
be to my personal advantage.

hibition of their skill in the saddle.
ARRANGEMENTS WISELY
PLANNED.
The arrangements for judging the
entries in the numerous sections of the
parade were very wisely planned this
year, the judges being stationed in
about the center of the baseball dia-
mond, their presence on the ground
interfering in no way with the view
of the thousads of interested specta
tors, who followed each phase of the
different contests most closely. In
deed, the presence of the judges on the
green added considerably to the beauty
of the scene from the stand, the dain-
ty gowns of the ladies and the riding
costumes of the mer forming an at
tractive picture, grou ed as they were
for the most time in the shade of a
great spreading Chinese umbrella.
During the judging of the pau rid
ers and the other eQuestrians the lawn
had the appearance of a great hippo
drome, two ring circus performance
being given by the numerous skilful
riders in their fancy and attractive
costumes, the riders other than pau
and cowboys doing their fancy stunts
before the banked automobiles and
decorated carriages, the other riders
dashing back and forth before the
stand.
JUDGES OF THE DAY.
The judges of the various events
were:
Autos Division No. l, Section A.
Large Touring Cars.-Howard Hitch
cock, Mrs. F. NJ. Swanzy and Mrs. F.
A. Schaefer.
Section B. Light Touring Cars

CROWD WAS AN ORDERLY ONE
1t was most noticeable yesterday
that the presence of the police along
the line of the parade and at the park

diness was concerned. The police as
sisted materially in keeping the route
clear of spectators, whose eagerness
to miss nothing led them into en-
croaching at times on the space neces-
sary for the paraders, and they were
responsible also for the prevention or
probably many accidents, but at no
time did they find it necessary to do
more than ask the crowd to do any
thing before it was done. There We're
no DRINKS in evidence and the people
walked about free from the fear OF
assault from roughs or of the opera
lions of pickpockets and the like who
congregate on such occasions else
where.
A FEW MINOR ACCIDENTS.
The accidents of the day We're minor
ones. Early in the formation of the
parade Mrs Rosewan tainted in the
Capitol grounds, but she soon recov-

by Mrs. Carter, were not the least OF
the pleasant features of the day.
These judges performed their ardu-
Gus duties with fine discrimination and
great deal of tact, the result of their
deliberations as announced at the end
of the judging being backed UP by
the plaudits rendered the winners by
the occupants of the stand.
