Methodist Congratulates Us.

At the meeting of the state nor mai school board at Little Rock last Saturday, after several ballots, Conway was selected as the loca- tion for the state normal school. As this is the greatest prize offered to the towns of the state during the last fifteen years the enterpris- ing people of Conway are to be congratulated on their great good fortune. As Conway is a thor oughly tested educational con- munity and one of the best towns, not simply in Arkansas, but in the world, the normal school is in safe and congenial surroundings. With Hendrix College, the chief Methodist college for men in Ark ansas, and Central College, the leading Baptist woman's college in the state, with the headquarters of the Farmers Union and the cotton growing school, two of the best papers, and the best small | job printing office in the state, Con- way now with the normal school is certainly entitled to be consider cd not only the geographical cen ter but the educational center of our state. As the selection of Conway for the normal requires sewerage and waterworks this good town will become even better. As it will educate the teachers of our public schools it will exert the widest influence. Let us all pray that every high and holy hope for this town of schools may be real ized.-Western Methodist, Little Rock,

mean recommendation to the town for a location for the Baptist Fe- male College of the state. If 1t was secured because Conway went after it in earnest and others didn't, it is no mean compliment to the people that they will give more for schools than others; for we are commanded to covet earnestly the best gifts. I rejoice most that Gen. tral and Hendrix have so done their work that the people who se- cured them for Conway are willing to not only risk more money ln them, but are willing to go after other similar institutions. Great is Conway and her people.
 By an agreement between the town of Conway and the Board ot Education, we are to have a new addition to our building which will enable us to care for at least fifty more girls. The town pro- poses to put up the required build ing if the Baptists of the state will pay the $Io, ,ooo debt of the college. Should the Baptists fail to meet that proposition it is evidence that they do not deserve large school. They are only asked to pay their just debts and then they are to re- ceive a bonus. The responses to the efforts being put forth by Bro. Gates for the next six weeks will determine how our people feel about this matter.-Pres. w. w.. Rivers in Baptist Advance.

 While "new blood" is desirable for any institution, the tried and true are requisite if best results are obtained. The heads of the de- partments will remain with us. Miss Mcdowell, who has been with us for three years as principal, and who has proven herself one of the greatest helpers for Christian edu- cation that. Arkansas has known, will return. She is big brained and big hearted and above all, she lets it count in a positive way for the kingdom. Mrs. Walling, our director of music, is in the east gaining fresh inspiration for her years work from the masters in New York and Boston.

than is Conway to offer fifty thou sand dollars. Yet the former city was unwilling to offer a cent, and even suggested, through her busi- ness mems organizations, that the normal board should ignore the law and defer the location of the normal until a later legislature could be induced to place it at Lit tie Rock without a bonus. But, aside from the indifference of her people, there are many reasons why an institution like the state normal should not be located in a city, even though it offered double or treble the bonus of a smaller town.

DrsSENSIoN AT MORRILTON.

The internal dissession at Nor rilton, as evidenced by the charges and counter-charges of the cotton buying merchants, Is one of the worst possible evils that can exist In any town. Morrilton has for several years been losing ground as cotton center, and during the past season the loss has been very marked. This fact has caused cer- tain citizens to charge that the cot ton buyers of the town were in a combine, by means of which the farmers were paid something like an average of $4 per bale less than the market justified for their cotton. Whether this is true or not, it is fact that many farmers who had hitherto been marketing their cot ton at Morrilton became dissatisfied from some cause, and that hun dreds of bales which usually went to Morrilton came to Conway dur ing the past season.
 For some reason the business men of Morrilton apparently lack that stability which characterizes the Conway merchants. Changes of firm and failures are frequent in the larger business houses and there seems to be no evidence of a united work for the building of Morrilton and Conway county. This is. s.'sincerely to be regretted and our neighbor town and county, whose resources are unbounded, can never attain its best growth until these diffic ulties are removed.
 There is no lack of harmony among the business men of Con- way, yet each one realizes that a vigorous competition is absolutely necessary to the life of the town. It is on this account that Conway has attained the reputation of be- ing the best inland cotton market in the state and at the same time selling merchandise as cheap as it can be bought anywhere in Ark anSaS.

Some time 1t may be that Arkan- sas will get big enough that 1t will not have to ask the various cities to bid for the location of its institu- tions that may be for the benefit of the state. When that time comes, the only question the legislature will ask, is, What is the best place to locate this school, asylum or hospital?" When it comes to that point, Little Rock will lose no more institutions as it did the state normal school through the lack of independence on the part Of the state and indifference of the peo- pie.

 That time may come, but the time will never come when the state should locate great institu- ton in a town or city that cares so little for 1t as to be unwilling to make a reasonable effort to secure 1t.

 few exceptions, the press of the state is we'll pleased with the action of the board in naming Conway as the home of the new institution.
 On behalf of our citizens we desire to thank these papers for their kind expressions.

Not the least benefit that will come to Conway as a result of the location of the normal here is the great amount of free advertising that the city has received. The advantages of Conway have been prominently brought to the atten' tion of every newspaper reader 1T Arkansas, to say nothing of thou. sands of people living in other states. This advertising alone will doubtless result in a considerable influx of population to our city.
