M'FARLANE OUT OF THE RACE
Caldwell & Drake Candidate Is
 Forced to Quit.
Says that Pace Set by Donaghey is Too Swift for Him-Card of Withdrawal
 Issued Saturday.

Driven from the field by the re- lentless attack of George w. Dona- ghey upon the state capitol graft, and seeing that the task of defeat ing the Conway man was hope less one, R. w. McFarlane on Sat urday withdrew from the race for governor. In his card Of with drawal he admits that tFe pace set by Donaghey was too swift for him.
 The friends of MT. Donaghey are jubilant over the fact that Me Farlanes retirement virtually ad- mits that the charges Of MT. Don- aghey in the capitol matter are sustained by the people. They feel that his victory, already ap- parently assured, is now made certain.
 In his card. of withdrawal MT. McFarlane says: " The alignment in the race for governor has been completely changed in the last two weeks, and an entirely new and different basis for political action made. The campaign, on account of the pace set by MT. Donaghey, has been a very expensive one. I have already spent $500 more than I expected to spend in the whole campaign, and it would cost me at least S4ooo more to finish it. This money I can i'll afford to spend, and, besides, many of my friends have a strong second choice and when a principle is involved I cannot afford to stand in the way, so I have decided to with draw from the race for governor. ,

SCHOOL DESTROYED BY FIRE
Choctaw High School Building Went Up
 Flames Last Wednesday.

Choctaw, March Especial cor respondence.-Last Wednesday at- ternoon at two o'clock fire was discovered between the roof and upperI ceiling of the high school building at this place. It was soon evident that the fire had gain ed too much headway for the building to be saved, and almost the entire population: ::of the town as we'll as the pupils of the school went heroically to work to save the school furniture as well as the adjoining buildings which were endangered. Three adjacent stores caught fire several times, but the bucket brigade succeeded ln preventing a further spread of the flames.
 The school board met Wednes- day night and secured the use ot the church house and residence, and the school work is going on. Saturday night the citizens had a mass meeting and it was decided to push work on our new building, which, fortunately, is nearing completion. The new structure IS 4ox6o feet and the roof is half on. Insurance amounting to S5oO was carried on the burned building.

DECIDES AGAINST HENDRIX
Supreme Court Awards Mena
 Academy Property
Cancels Ninety-Nine Year Lease to l. E. Wootten.

The case of Hendrix College against Arkansas Townsite Go. ct al was decided adversely to Hen drix College in the supreme court Monday. The suit was over the Hendrix academy property at Mena. This property was transferred to the college some years ago by the Arkansas Townsite Co.,, to be used as an affiliated academy. The aca- demy, however, did not prosper, and the college leased the property to J. E. Wooten for 99 years, the consideration being a valuable hotel property in Mena.
 Suit was brought by the town- site company to restore the proper ty to them on the ground that an academy was not being maintained by the college. The presiding elder of the district in which the academy is located filed an inter- vention and asked that the property be placed in the hands of the con- ference trustees. An order to this effect was granted by the chancery court, but no relief was given to Wooten. The decision of the su- preme court restores the hotel property to Wooten, cancels his lease on the academy property, de- nies the complaint of the townsite company and places the academy in the hands of the Little Rock conference trustees.

Griffin Gets a Retraction.

Davis charged that Griffin, as secretary of the Farmers Union, was trying to swing the union in line for Donaghey; that he had printed in the organ of the union the statement that Davis had said "honest George Donaghey had saved the people of the state SSoo,- : 900. Griffin was present and de- nied the charge, and after being interrogated by Davis, Griffin made Davis retract the statement. Da- wis villihed Ludwig and Pindall l, and said they were trying to build up a machine for his downfall. He begged the rank and file not to re- pudiate his work and to stand by him in this fight.
 He touched local politics, telling the voters to support a man who would vote for him four years hence.

 Ben l.. Griffin, state secretary of the Farmers Union of Arkansas addressed a crowded house of farm CTS and business men of Craig head county at the court house here tonight, and his address was applauded throughout. MT. Grit- fla spoke in defense of himself and the organization which he repre- sents, and his speech was in an- swer to the speech of Senator Jeff Davis here this afternoon, in which Griffin was attacked and not allowed to reply.
 Griffin said he has never asked member of the Farmers Union to vote for any candidate for polit- ical office, but to the contrary has endeavored in every way to keep the farmers out of politics. He characterized Jeff Davis as a polltl- cal dictator and told of the sena- tors efforts to use the Farmers Union as stepping stone i'll his political schemes. He said Davis had offered to place him on the Davis ticket for the office of seCre- tarv of state and on Griffin re- fusal tried to induce him to con- sent to run for state auditor.
 He said he could produce the proof that Davis said he would never allow the Farmers Union to vote for Donaghey and that he would kill the Union first
 Mir. Griffin spoke i'll the interest of no candidate, but simply in de- lence of the Farmers Union. After the speaking about 100 mem bers of the Farmers Union sur rounded him and gave him three cheers

WITHDRAWAL OF M'FARLANE
Will Have Effect of Strengthen
 ing Donaghey.
Hinemon Rapi dly Losing Ground, and Con- way Man Will Easily Win
 the Nomination.

Little Rock, March 3-Special Correspondence-As the days pass George w. Donaghey, candidate for governor, gains ground all over the state The withdrawal of R. w. MCFarlane from the race had no effect whatever on his candidacy as the sprinkling of McFarlane votes were all against the Conway statesman all the time, as he has been McFarlane main issue. Hinemon seems to be losing ground rapidly and the race is still between Douaghey and Kirby, with the indications that 1t will re main that way until the close, and with Donaghey far in the lead. It is thought here Donaghey will have more votes than both of his opponents. What little strength Hinemon gained after his deClar- ation for state wide prohibition was a mere furry, and this support has since receded to its natural chan nels. After an analysis, the peo- pie realized that Hinemon had grasped the issue as last straw, after his exemption and other issues had proven failures. The people realized that 1t was made as a mere vote getter, for if there had been any sincerity in it, the declaration would have been made earlier in the campaign. The political move thus lacked force. As for the state wide prohibition proposition, Don aghey at the first announcement of his candidacy, publicly stated that he would approve any legislation passed by the legislature on pro- hibition. The principal workers for state wide prohibition are among the principal advisers and workers for Donaghey, and they are to be seen at his headquarters most any day of the week. Men close to Kirby acknowledge that Donaghey will carry at least sixty counties of the state, and the with drawal of McFarlane will Idd an- other, for the people of Sebastian county will no longer feel moral obligation to vote for home man, and thus be free to cast their vote for the man of their real choice, DOnapheV.
 Visitors to Little Rock quickly notice how soon the populace of a city will pick up an expression and work it the limit.
