ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION
Two Directors to be Elected and Tax Rate
Voted in Conway District.

Two directors are to be elected
and the rate of school tax voted at
the annual school election in the
Conway special district which will
be held next Saturday, May 10.

are T. J. Bullion and E. H. Allison.
These two gentlemen will stand
for reelection, and it is stated
that the names of D. O. Harton
and J. G. Clark will also be placed
before the voters as candidates.
Still others may seek the honor,
but if so, the fact has not yet been
made public. 1t is foregone con-
clusion that the seven-mill tax will
be voted, as no opposition what
ever has manifested itself against
this rate.
The election will be held in the
various wards of the city of Con-
way, the same judges officiating as
at the recent city election. The
polls will open at 9 a. M, and If
the regular judges are not present,
others will be chosen by the by
standers. The following are the
regular judges: First ward, John
Ingram, J. R. Lea and w. A.
Loveless; second ward, G. M. Eas-
terwood, J. E. Long and E. J.
Vaughn; third ward, ]. A. King,
F. A. Rayner and w. B. Simmons.
Similar elections will also be
held in each of the 100 districts
in the county. The question of
county superintendency will not
be voted upon at this election, as

MORRILTON CONDEMNS ACTION
Enthusiastic Mass Meeting Held
Tuesday.
Resolutions Adopted Requesting Legisla-
ture to Adjourn Immediately
After Assembling.

Morrilton, May II. - (Special)
AT meeting of the citizens o1
Morrilton, held this afternoon, the
action of Gov. Allen Hamiter, in
calling a special session of the
state legislature, was condemned
from every standpoint and steps
were taken to prevent the conven-
ing of the body as planned in
Little Rock.
The citizens are enraged ove1 the
action and expressed their senti-
ments by passing the following
strong resolution:
"Whereas, Hon. Allen Hamiter,
acting governor of the state OF
Arkansas has called special
session of the state legislature; and
''Whereas, 1t is patent that this
move has been instigated by, and
for the benefit of Caldwell & Drake,
the statehouse contract grafters;
be it
"Resolved, That the citizens of
Arkansas who favor an economical
administration of the affairs of the
state, join the voters of this
county in a request that their rep
resentatives and senators, make
and pass a resolution to adjourn
the said special session of the
state legislature Immediately upon
its convening."
The meeting was largely attend
ed by representatives of the city's
business men, and was the most
enthusiastic mass meeting ever
gathered in Morrilton.
A number of speeches were
made by men prominent in he
affairs of the state and not in
single instance could one be
found who was in favor of the
special session.
]. S. Riddick, brother of the
late ]. E. Riddick, associate judge,
was one of the foremost leaders of
the gathering and stood on the
floor of the assembly hall for about
an hour and condemned the action
of Gov. Hamiter from every stand
point.
Morrilton is the first city in the
state to take action on the question
that is now before the citizens,
and it is more than likely that
similar gatherings will be held in
all parts of the state and their
purpose practically the same end
as did the Morrilton assembly.

NO RELIEF FROM GOVERNMENT
Federal Aid Cannot Extend to
Storm Sufferers.
Purpose of Appropriation Was Only to
Help Stricken Communities Un-
able to Help Themselves.


No federal assistance can be OBJ
tanned for the storm sufferers in
this county, according to the terms
under which the government ap-
preparation is being disbursed. Re-
lief is being extended only to COM
munities where the disaster is so
widespread that the people cannot
care for themselves and danger of
death from starvation, exposure
and injuries exists.
Congress on last Thursday pass
ed resolution including Arkansas
in the provisions of an appropria-
ton for the relief of storm sufferers,
and several citizens here immed-
lately communicated with Congress
man c. G. Reid, asking that the
condition of those in Faulkner
county who were rendered homeless
by the tornado of May q be taken
under consideration.
Mr.. Reid Immediately laid the
requests before the war department,
through which the relief fund is
being disbursed, and on Sunday
afternoon Major J. K. Thompson
of the 9th regiment, in command
of Fort Logan H. Roots, arrived
here to investigate the conditions.
His instructions, however, were to
the effect that no reimbursement
for property loss was contemplated,
and food, shelter and medical at
tention were to be temporarily sup
piled only where community was
unable to care for itself. He ex-
pressed a willingness to visit the
scene of the tornado, but indicated
that the people of Conway and vi
cinity had already done what was
contemplated by the government,
in providing for the immediate
want of sufferers, and it was thought
unnecessary for him to pursue the
investigation.
Recovering From Disaster.
The people in the path of the
great storm are slowly recovering
from the effects of the disaster. All
of the injured are on the road to
recovery, with the exception of
James Bell, colored, whose condi-
ton is still serious. Fences have
been replaced, roads cleared of tim
Der and houses are being rebuilt as
rapidly as possible.
Freaks of the Storm.
Many curious evidences of the
tornado have been reported since
the first excitement has passed
away. One of the most remark
able freaks was discovered by J. A.
Crye, who found a dead sparrow
with its bill driven into a tree, sew
eral feet from the ground. A ne
gro, happy in the discovery of a
clothing box blown considerable
distance from his house, carried it
back to his abode and was dismay-
ed to find that every rag of cloth
ing was blown out and a large
stone was in the box. A hog in
pen was blown about quarter of a
mile and came back uninjured to
its owner the next day.

has written to The Log Cabin
Democrat that he has changed his
plans and will locate at Mena,
