The city OF Lonoke has now
completed concrete sidewalks on
at least one side of each street
within the city limits, and now
claims to have the best system of
sidewalks of any town its size in
the world. The enterprising cit
liens of this place formed four i'm
provement districts embracing the
four quarters of the city and issued
bonds for the cost of the work, pay
able within five years. This is a
very satisfactory and equitable
manner for work of this character
to be done, as the assessments
against the property owner are
made according to benefits received
rather than according to frontage
on the streets, and the payments
are distributed so as to be less
burdensome. We venture to say
that Lonoke never made a better
investment than the amount she
has put in side walks.

THE TAMWORTH HOG.
The Profit-Maker for the Hills Of the
South.

SOUIN.
Recent interest in the Tamworth
hog in, many parts of the South has
led many to make inquiries about this
new breed of Matchmaking hogs. If
taken in hand in some systematic way,
there is in the Tamworth an OppOrtu-
nifty for the South to make reputa-
ton for Southern hams and bacon
that would turn into golden stream In
time. @. l. Simpson, in National Swine
Magazine, discussing the Tamworth
says: The Tamworth hog was built
from the Irish Grazier and gets its
name from Tamworth, in Stafford
shire. More than century back, one
of Ireland's Lord Secretaries, liking
the lean, delicious meat OF the Irish
breed. and knowing of the great fe-
cunolJy or the sows, took some OF
them back to his estate at Tamworth
England, where his descendants and
the family named Norman have since
bred and improved them.
The first importations came to Can.

1t is not the better growth OF the
Tamworth that makes the gain In

one reason, perhaps, from the increas.

hybrids are much more agile al

There are three men in the

more powerful than ever existed in
the Roman empire. These men
are Speaker Cannon, Dalzell, chair
man of the committee on ways and
means, and Payne, chairman OF
the committee on rules. On ac-
count of the unreasonably high
price of print paper, the entire
press of the nation, through its var

1t is believed by his friends that
George w. Donaghey will be per-
haps the most popular as we'll as
one of the most able governors
who has ever occupied the chief
executives chair. Even since his
nomination his stand upon at least
two important propositions has ad-
ded greatly to the admiration in
which he is held by the people. A
wrangle in the convention seemed
imminent over the selection of the
four delegates at large to the
national Democratic convention.
Mr.. Donaghey strengthened his
popularity by declaring that he was
is in no sense candidate for this
place, feeling he had already re-
ceived sufficient honor at the hands
of his party. 1t was the right word
spoken at the right time. But OF
immensely more importance than
this was his action with reference
to extra session of the legislature.
Without his fight against it this
session would have been held. 1t
would have been easy for him to
have escaped the arduous respon-
sibility of completing the state cap
ital, which was imposed upon him
by his election, by simply remain
ing at home and permitting the
Legislature to appropriate the mon
ey now in the treasury to the pres
ent contractors. But, sincere as
he has been throughout his fight
against the capitol contractors, he
had no desire to evade the task OF
an honest completion of the build
ing and fulfillment of his pledges
to the people.

PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING
Pres. Rivers of Central College Offers a
Suggestion on the Matter.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
/ notice the question of erecting
a new public school building is
being agitated. The city certainly
needs one and l heartily favor the
proposition. Because the town
has so much money invested in
colleges is no reason for neglect
ing primary and secondary educa-
ton but rather an argument for
pushing that interest also. AS our
boarding patronage in the colleges
depends upon the efficiency of the
common schools in the state, so
our local patronage will depend
upon the efficiency of our city
graded schools.
On account of the presence of
the colleges the demands made
upon the public school are heavier
and for that reason harder to meet.
1 believe our public school is
above the average for towns the
size of Conway, but think it far
below what it ought to be. The
fact that this is an educational
center means that the public
school of Conway should not only
be the equal but the superior OF
other public schools in the state,
1t needs better equipment and
salaries for its teachers that would
command the best talent and enable
it to spend something tor growth
and improvement, not binding 1t
down to a mere existence. We
may erect a magnificent building
and present the appearance to the
public that we have fine school
but if the running expenses of the
school have to be cut to meet this
outlay, we will deceive no one as
to the true condition.
It seems to me to be fortunate
at this particular time that we
have the State Normal in Conway,
for l understand that they will
need model school and will
gladly equip a building for the
grammar grades, supply it with
teaching force from the very best
material in order that their stu
dents may see the work conducted
in a scientific and up-to-date man
ner. They would become respon-
sible for all the running expenses
of this school, which would serve
all the purposes of ward school.
Why not take advantage of this
opportunity by erecting such a
building and thereby relieve the
congested condition of our present
school? This would give US an
opportunity to properly equip our
present property and postpone the
greater expense of an up-to-date
building until we would be in bet
ter condition to handle the matter
than at present.
merely throw this out as sug-
gestion and if it is worth anything,
it can be taken. If not there is
nothing lost.
