PAYING MONEY FOR COTTON
Conway Merchants Obtain Some
Currency.
Amounts, However, are Limited, Though
Sufficient to Take Care of all Cotton
Sold During Past Week

While to all intents and purpos-
es the rule adopted by the Conway
banks about three weeks ago with
reference to paying cash on checks
is unchanged, the cotton buying
merchants of this city have been
able to secure from other sources
sufficient currency to immediate
needs for cotton sold here.
Other towns in this part of this
state have not been paying any
cash whatever on the cotton
brought to them, but for a week or
more Conway has been paying a
considerable percentage in actual
money for each bale brought here.
The ISSUANCE of $50, 900, 900 in
Panama bonds and the letter of
President Roosevelt urging a re-
newal of confidence and showing
that there is no grounds for the
present situation will, it is thought,
do much toward relieving the
stringency, and many are now pre-
dieting that the financial situation
will again be on normal basis
within two or three weeks.
The Conway buyers are not nrg-
ing the sale of cotton, for they BE-
lieve that it is worth more than
can now be obtained for it, but
they are ready to pay good part
in cash on every bale offered for
sale here.

SUCCESS SEEMS ASSURED
Donaghey's Strength Continues
to Grow.
Prospects Appear More Encouraging Every
Day-A Specimen Letter From an
Admiring Supporter.

George w. Donaghey, Democrat
ic candidate for governor, was at
his Offices in this city the first of
the week, having spent the previous
week at Little Rock and in eastern
Arkansas. Asked as to his pros
poets in his race, Mr.. Donaghey
said: If there is any truth in
what the people whom l have visit
ed in various parts OF the state tell
me and III the many letters | am
daily receiving-and | believe
there is-my success is assured. l
have now been actively in the
campaign for little over a month,
and not one discouraging report
has come to me during that time !;
in fact, they are all the most fatter-
ing.
I realize, however, continued
Mr.. Donaghey, that | am labor
ing under the apparent disadvan-
tage of not being a slick politician
or a spell-biuder, but believe that
this is proving to be an advantage
rather than disadvantage to me.
Every day | receive letters and
words of commentator for refus-
ing to join in mud-slinging cam
palgn.
we are sending large num-
Der of copies of my opening speech
to various parts of the state, and l
am receiving hundreds of encour-
aging letters in response to it.
Here is one l have just opened,
said Mr.. Donaghey, which will
give you an idea of the general
tenor of those l have been receiv-
ing"
At the request OF The Log Cabin
Democrat Mr.. Donaghey consented
to the publication of the following
letter:
Fourche, Ark. Nov. IS, 1907.
George w. Donaghey,
Conway, Ark.
Dear Sir and Friend
l received your speech made at
Morrilton and was we'll pleased
with it. You are the only man
that | ever felt like taking off my
hat and saying 'hurrah to. 1t
made me feel proud of you the
way you spoke OF your father.
Good for you. l believe that every
Confederate soldier should receive
a good pension and be provided
with a good home, the best kind of
home. | have watched you
since 1890 and know what you
SAID in your speech is true, and
you did not tel, one half of your
struggle to get where you now are.
Again 1 say, good for you, George.
| have also watched your criticism
of the state house steal and have
always thought you were right, as
I have some idea of building and
can understand what you mean
when talking about different parts
of the building. l endorse all of
your speech. You may go to
good many men in Perry county
for support much higher financial
ly than | am, but you will find
none more loyal.
Congratulating you beforehand
as governor of Arkansas, | remain
your friend and we'll wisher. May
God that rules and governs all
bless and protect you.

 As we get older we learn that the old common saying that you cannot have vour cake and eat it" embraces vast deal of truth. If you find that inc pleasures of the table are really alluring, ten chances to one you VIII have to sacrifice your appearance.
 A rubicund visage and fat figure 100 often betray se1f-indulgence In the eood things of the table. Self-denial goes hand in hand with beauty cul- lure; you must take trouble, give up time and consider what Is good TOT YOU. There Is a famous physician wno in the present day Is furnishing code which tells exactly what the middle aged may eat and avoid in order to re- new their youth. Doctors are very apt at once to stop you from eating sugar and fat, and there Is perfect craze just now for avoiding alcohol. This IS all very well, but people who are ap- preaching 70 must not too rasnly change their mode of living, and whis- kew and light wines in some eases pro- mote digestion. Overeating is bad at all times, but young people want gen erous diet while the framework of the body is being formed. After 30 we eat to preserve the body; up to 20 we are helping to make our tissues. It is al ways a mistake to eat too much late at
