FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

Learning of the big food COM
ing down the Arkansas, Ben L.
Griffin left last night for Roland
where he will put big force OF
men to gathering corn on his farm
before it is covered with water.
He has 400 or 500 bushels of late
corn which has not been gathered
but said if he could secure enough
help it would all be in the barn to-
night, before the over flow reached
his land.
While in Little Rock last
night Mr.. Griffin conferred with
National President c. S. Barrett,
who was on his way to Dallas, Tex.
about some matters of interest te

LIGHT PLANT is CRIPPLED
Belt Broke Last Night, Throwing Part of
Town in Darkness.
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY,

Shortley after sterling up last
night the big 20 inch drive belt
at the city light plant broke,
causing a temporary shutdown and
thowing a portion of the city in
darkness during the early part of
the night. The plies of the belt
in some way became separated,
one ply becoming completely strip
ped off and the noise caused by the
Tapping of the belt before the en-
CINE could be stopped was heard
all over the business part of town.
The breaking of the belt put the
new Corliss engine and dynamo
out of commission and the smaller
engine and dynamo could not
carry the full load ,necessitatlng one
of the main leads to the western
part of town to be cut out. Supt.
c.. H. Burr wired for a new belt
last night, which is expected to ar
rive within two or three days.

4MURDER CASES
FOR NEXT TERM
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

Circuit Clerk A.M.Ledbettef will
within few days begin the prep
ration of the criminal and civil
dockets for the next term OF the
Faulkner circuit court, which con-
venes here January II. While the
civil docket is comparatively light
the criminal docket is the heavie st
for many years, there being no less
than four murder cases to be
brought before the court, besides
an unusually large number of mis-
demeanor cases. The murder cases
are as follows:
Sam Spence, colored, indicted
at last term for murder in first
degree for killing Arrinda Golf ).
a negro girl who was found dead in
a we'll near Martinville February
"a, 1908.
J. w. Cartwright, indicted for
murder in first degree for killing
his wife near Wooster in September
of this year.
A. B. Winters, indicted for muir
der in first degree for killing Char
ley Carnahan near Round Noun
tain about two years ago. Mis-
trial at last term of circuit court.
L. E. Milligan, charged with
killing Joe c. Herring near Da-
mascus on October 2. Milligan
has not yet been indicted and this
case will probably not come to
trial at the next term.

Miss Randle at Hendrix.
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY,

A large crowd was present at the
second attraction of the Hendrix
lecture course which was given in
this city last evening at the col
lege auditorium by Miss Emma
Dee Randle, impersonator, reader
and monologist. The impersona-
tions of the rural boys deserve very
special mention, and "The Jasa-
mine Bud" rendered by Miss Ran
BILE, was, without doubt, one of
the prettiest readings ever listened
to by a Conway audience. Muir
iel," another reading, was espec-
tally good. In all, the entertain
ment was considered one of the
best ever given in this city.

BIG BUILDINGS
ARE DOOMED

Little Rock, Dec. 2.-Special.-
A message to Observer H. F. AL
ciatore of the Little Rock weather
bureau from his assistant at Pine
Bluff today says that the river
bank is caving more rapidly than
ever and that there is no longer
any hope of saving the Jefferson
hotel and the Jefferson county
court house.
Dispatches from Pine Bluff last
night state that less than 80 feet
of soil was left between the raging
waters and the walls of the court
house and the big Jefferson hotel.
1t was thought the buildings might
be saved by the cutting of a levee
on the opposite side of the stream,
but the United states war depart
ment refused to permit this action,
and it is now stated that, although
an appeal has been made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, it is now too late
to save the buildings by this
means.
The caving that will result from
the present flood will be more rap
id than that which was recorded a
few weeks ago, owing to the fact
that the bank is lined with heavy
brick buildings, some of which ar
now practically overhanging the
river. AS soon as the current digs
it's way under the weakened banks,
the buildings will crack and tum-
BILE into the river.

FARMER AGAIN
CHANGES HANDS
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

Another change in the manage
ment of tie Arkansas Farmer oc-
Cured this morning, when State
Secretary M. F. Dickinson of the
Farmers Union, J. A. Boone of
Marmaduke and P. A. Hyatt of
this city assumed charge of the
newspaper. The plant is owned
by L. S. Dunaway and was leased
for two years by Ben L. Griffin,
until January I last, when A. ].
Witt and J. B. Higgins took
charge, Mr.. Witt retiring last
April.
Mr.. Dickinson will not for the
present be actively connected with
the business and Messrs. Boone
and Hyatt will have exclusive ed
itorial control of the newspaper.
Mr.. Boone arrived from Marina
duke this morning.
The new firm is planning, how
ever, to launch state Farmers
Union paper in the near future, OF
which Secretary Dickinson will
probably be the editor.

BAPTIST BOARD IN SESSION
State Mission Secretary to be
Elected.
Board of Education Meets Tomorrow to
Plan Means of Lifting School
Debt.

Little Rock, December I. =
The evacuation of the city by
the Methodist is hardly complete
before the arrival of the Baptlsts to
attend the meeting of the state mis-
sion board, and the board of edu-
cation begins. Many others came
for the purpose of organizing
layman's association, which will
ioin with the other branches of the
church and assist in the work
along ali lines. President H. L.
Bradford of Lonoke called the
meeting of the board of missions to
order in the First Baptist church
this morning at 10 o'clock. Rev.
O. J. Wade of this city is acting
as secretary of the meeting. AT
this session a successor to Rev.
R. G. Bowers, who has been pro-
NOTED to financial agent OF the ed
ucational work, to take up the
work of superintendent OF the

missions of the state, will be select
ed. There are number of appli-
cants for this position. The board
will also apportion the $50, 900 to
the various districts of the state,
and name three general and ten
district evangelists. The laymen
will meet tonight in the same
church and perfect their organiza-
ton, Prof. J. T. Henderson of
Bristol, Tenn, being the principal
speaker. He is the secretary of
the Southern Layman' S convention
and has been invited to come to
Arkansas to superintend the organ
iZation of the state association.
Tommorrow the board of educa-
tion begins its session this board
will probably authorize the open
ing of an Office in Little Rock from
which the financial agent will
work in an effort to continue the
raising of funds for the educational
institutes fostered by the Baptist
church in Arkansas. About S25,-
900 was raised for the school at
the recent state convention held in
Fayetteville, and it is believed
that the $4,000 required to lift
the debt from the schools of the
state will be raised before the end
of the fiscal year.

DAMAGE
FROM OVERFLOW

Little Rock Dec. with much
water yet to come down the Ark
ansas river, the guage here slowly
registers an increase in the depth
of the stream. The guage this
morning showed a rise of about
four feet since yesterday, when the
reading showed but II feet. The
river is rising slowly at Fort Smith
and rapidly at Dardanelle. The
rise here has been at the rate of
about one tenth of a foot an hour.
The guage today shows something
over IS feet, and Director Alicia
tore of the Weather Bureau, expects
it to be Ie feet by tomorrow morn
ing. He will then be able to tell
what the river is going to do from
here down. The rise is doing no
damage between Fort Smith and
Little Rock, SO far as has been re-
ported. though the strain may
cause considerable damage in the
levee districts, where the levees are
soft from the continued rains. At
the penitentiary a large number of
additional convicts will be sent to
the state farm to assist in strength
ening these levees.
