There were candidates, Of course,
who were not interested in anything
on earth, but themselves, and even af-
ter they were assured that they had
won, they were stopping every one to
tell them just how many votes they
had at a given precinct.
They palled on one, with their in
cessant talk of themselves.
During the forenoon the County
Democratic Executive Committee met,
at the court house, to canvass the
votes Of the counties of Forrest and

FAVORS SEVEN-MILL TAX
G. D. Sowell Urges Voters to Levy Addition
 al School Tax Saturday.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 We now have the privilege of voting a mill tax. I hope that every voter in Faulkner coun- ty will attend the school meeting on next Saturday and vote seven mill tax. That will mean better schools and longer terms. l love the common schools, they make 1t possible tor every boy and girl ln all the land to secure an education, and that will make them able to fight the battle of life.
 The constitution from 1864 to 1874 was the township system of schools. We had three months school in year, under that system. From 1874 to the present time we have made a wonderful success in the state in the school business. Such funds as the Morrill, fund have been a great help to the schools of the state, and now the time has come that we must have better system of schools. Amend ment No. 8 is now a part of our constitution and under 1t let us take advantage of this opportunity to make our schools better and look ing only to the welfare of Arkan- sas' noble sons and daughters who, with proper opportunities will con tribute so much to the future de- velopment and glory of the state.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Concerning the recent action of the Conway school board in elim- mating the two highest grades from our public school, the article by "A Patron" in this issue has the hearty endorsement of the Log Cabin Democrat. It appears to us that this is no time for retrogres- sion in matters educational. Con ways proudest boast is that 1t is center of education. Its excellent reputation in this particular is more than statewide. Nothing could be more injurious to that reputation than to have the state ment go out that we are unable to support a public school of more than nine grades, when many towns of the state one-half the size of Conway are maintaining real high-school departments.
 A gentleman who recently moved here from a neighboring state and bought home in Con- way said, when informed of the action of the board, "If that is the case, my property here is for sale. It was on account of the high school here that I moved to Con- way, but the school at my former

United States Land Office, Little Rock, Arkan-
 sas, May I, l907
 Notice is hereby given that in compliance with the provisions of the act of Congress of June 5, 1878, entitled, "An act for the sale of timber lands in the states of California, Oregon Nevada and Washington Territory" extend ed to all the public land states by act of August I, 1892, A. J. Bryant of Conway county of Faulk- der, state of Arkansas has this day filed in this office his sworn statement for the purchase of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section Six, Township Four North, Range Fourteen West and will offer proof to show that the land sought is more valuable for its timber or stone than for agricultural purposes and to establish his claim to said land before l. II. Hartje, County Clerk, at Conway, Arkansas, on Thursday the 18th day of July, 1907.
 He names witnesses: II. r-:rhorn5son, Of Conway Arkansas; Edward Long, of Conway, Arkansas; D. J. Andrews, Of Conway Arkansas; W. T. Sewell, of Conway, Arkansas.

home would educate my children through the ninth grade. I"
 We repeat, the time seems inop- perfume for lowering of the stand ard of our public school. Only last September, by large majority of the voters of Arkansas, of Faulkner county and of Conway itself declared themselves in favor of the McFerrin amendment to the constitution, which, provides bet ter support for our free schools. lust at this time, when educational interest is at a height never before attained in the state and is still growing, 1t certainly will be fact to Conway discredit that her pub lie school has been forced to take a step backward.
 Completion of the ninth grade will scarcely prepare a pupil for entrance at good academy. The average pupil can finish that grade by his sixteenth year. The pub lie school in district of the size and wealth of Conway ought to prepare its boys and girls for en- trance at genuine college; then those who are fortunate enough to continue their education will be prepared without having to take an expensive three-years' course in, the academy; and, what IS vastly more important, those con- stituting the great majority who will never be able to attend col lege, will be better equipped for the issues of life.
 But it was doubtless a condition and not principles which confront ed the school board of Conway. The district, we are informed, runs in debt about S2ooo each year. Then we are face to face with the fact that within a few years new building must be provided. This being the case, there is but one solution to the problem. Let the voters of the district on next Sat urday levy a seven-mlll tax, which, with the additional revenue which will be provided by the state fund, will provide an ample amount to wipe out the deficit. Then let the directors meet and rescind their action in eliminating the tenth and eleventh grades.
 But by all means, let the high standard of the Conway public school be maintained.

DONAGHEY'S VICTORY AND THE
 STATES.

The defeat of the state capitol appropriation bill in the house Saturday was a great victory foi George w. Donaghey, but it was a greater victory for the state. MT. Donaghey was the leader in the fight, but his struggle would have been intellectual had he not been backed by public sentiment.
 To give $325,ooo to Caldwell x Drake, in the face of their record , would have been a disgrace to Arkansas. Every charge of graft which Donaghey has made against them has been substantially proved. And worst of all are their boodling operations, by which in their greed for the states money, they have dragged many men into the mire and forever blighted the once 
 brilliant character of F. O. Butt, who is now behind the walls of the penitentiary as a result ot his dealings with them.
 It was largely through MT. Don aghey's efforts that the $500, ,ooo appropriation was defeated at the last session of the legislature. And there is no doubt that ever If the appropriation had then been make, these same grafters would have been clamoring for more at the present session.
 The item in the defeated appro- priation bill asking for $I5o, 900 to change the dome from copper to stone was one of the most lmpu- dent steals that has ever been at tempted in the state. Because the price of copper had almost doubled since they took the contract, they not only sought to be released from that part of stheir obligation, but had the amazing effrontery to ask for SI5o, 900 additional for making the change.
 Architect George R. Mann, who is being paid by the state and is ln league with the contractors against the state, ought to have been busted by the legislature, as in deed he would have been had the senate concurred with the house. And the services of the commission ought to have been dispensed with. But the legislature has done eminently right in holding the feet of Caldwell & Drake to the fire and compelling them to carry out their contract.

That is something rare, for two rea-

parade and homage are distasteful to
her, and, in the second place she
travels a great deal incOgnitO as the
countess of Cowal (using one of her
husbands minor titles) and does net
wish to be recognized by strangers
Had she been born in a private sta
tion she would have achieved distinc-
tiOn in both literature and art. Glas-
cow university conferred on her the
degree of IL. D. One editor frequent
ly accepted articles from her before
her identity was revealed and Princess
Louise declares that one of the proud
est moments of her life was when she
received a check for literary work
made out to "Myra Fontenoy," the
name she had assumed. AS for her
art work, she was a pupil OF the late
Sir Edgar Boehm and she has long
had a studio in Kensington palace.
Among her principal works are
sitting figure of Queen Victoria, an
other statue Of her late majesty for
Manchester cathedral and the striking
memorial to the colonial heroes in
St Paurs cathedral as well as vari-
Gus pictures and designs for chimney
pieces and candlesticks.
