A Woman's Back

Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other dis Ilace-
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other symp-
toms of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw-
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.

RACE FOR SPEAKEROF HOUSE
Is Attracting considerable Attention-Both
Men are Very Popular.

Little Rock, Sept. I7-Special-
The race for Speaker of the House
of Representatives, between Epps
P. Brown, of Prairie county, and
Tillman B. Parks, of Lafayette
county, is attracting considerable
attention, on account of the great
popularity of the two men and the
closeness of the contest. No two
politicians, asked one after the
other. seem to agree on the same
man. showing how closely the line
is drawn.

ADVERTISING CONWAY.

As means of advertising Con-
way the State Normal School will
be worth hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. AS it is state institution,
newspapers throughout Arkansas
freely devote much of their space
to articles concerning the Normal
and its advantageous location IN
this city.
Another factor in advertising
Conway, we believe, is our Daily
Edition. A town enterprising
enough to support daily paper
and to give 1t the prosperous ap-
pearance that our paper has pre-
scented during its first week, is
bound to attract attention.
An example of the value OF both
the Normal and the Daily as ad-
vertising factors is seen in the fol-
lowing editorial taken from this
weeks Russellville Courier-Demo-
crat:
Tuesday morning we received
Vol. I. No. I, of the Daily Log
Cabin Democrat of Conway. 1t
will be remembered that Conway
was the successful bidder for the
location of the State Normal
School, for which Russellville
made a noble effort. Conway has
been on a genuine boom since
securing the school and we doubt
if there is a contributor there who
I has not already been convinced
that his donation was good in
vestment. The Normal School is
now almost ready for occupancy,
dozens of residences have been
built in close proximity to it, sew
eral miles of concrete sidewalk
have been laid in the new addition
to the town, eight new business
houses are either under course OF
constructions or have been con-
tracted for and a new public school
building is being erected at a
cost of SIS, ooo.oo. They got the
Normal by going down in their
pockets and paying for it, and all
these other improvements, together
with a number OF substantial fami-
lies, came as natural consequence.
Judging from the first number of
the Log Cabin Democrat, we pre-
dict that it will not only prove
financially successful, but will
help to keep up the enthusiasm
that has attracted all eyes to this
thriving little city the past twelve
months. -

OFFICIAL VOTE
OF Faulkner
OONAGHEYS PLURALITY 1879
County's Vote, 1868, was Larg-
est Ever Polled.
AGAINST License and Sale of Wine and For
Road Tax and No. 9 Overwhelm-
ingly Carried.
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.
At noon today the election CON-
missioners had completed the tab
ulation of the vote in Faulkner
county on the governors race,
county officers and the various
propositions at the bottom of the
ticket.
The total vote in the county,
1868, was the largest ever polled,
and Mr.. Donaghey's plurality of
1879 over his Republican opponent
was the largest ever given a Demo
cratic nominee for governor.
The official canvass develops the
fact that the scratching of J. A.
Lea, Democratic nominee for coun-
judge, was not as great as first re-
ported, although he ran nearly 400
behind the ticket. Treasurer J. R.
Giddens' vote was the largest,
while Sheriff w. M. Brady led the
ticket of those having opposition.
On the basis fixed by the last
Democratic state convention,
Faulkner county will have IS
delegates in the next convention.
Against license carried by a
vote of almost five to one, the ma
jority being 1S49. The sale of
wine was forbidden by majority
almost equally as large, being
1902. The road tax was voted al
most four to one, the majority be-
ing 1907. Amendment No. 9 car
ried by 1879 majority, while No.
10 was defeated two to one.
The vote on state and district
offices will be published Monday.

turns canvassed.

short Sketch (0f Growth Of the Pub
lie School System
LOT City.

The best index 10 the grown IN
incubation, wealth and culture of
Winchester is found in the growth
of her public schools.
An efficient public school was or
oanized as soon as the State author
lied such an institution, but no seri
ous effort was made to grade and
modernize the school until about
1888, when eight grades were or
gained.
The subjects taught included the
nresent common school branches.
AZ that time the attendance was
less than one hundred and fifty and
there were four teachers. The
building was a one. story blicRson
the site of the present Hickman
street building.
A New Building.
In 1890, a new building was erect
ed of six rooms and accordingly the
same number of teachers were en-
Moved. Two Yeas later two b-ick
rooms were bur OH Washing
ton street and tlFnumber OF teach
ers increased tokghti then In 1896
two rooms were sded 10 tnlS Dulld-
ing and the nunlsr OF teachers in
creased to ten. few years later a
frame building tas purchased ad-
joining the Hie'nan street site,
and has since ben used as a pri-
mary room, and te corp of teachers
was increased toIeven.
The Greast Stride.
The greatest SIDE made In bulld-
inc was in 1906when four rooms
were added to ths1ickman and two
to the Washingto street building
There was muchbpposition to the

additions and cofrvative men pre-

WINCHESTER The GATEWAY TO
A GREATER EASTERN KENTUCKY
Promise Of the Future Is Far Greater Than Anything
In the City's Past Resources Of Mountains
Have Been Hardly Touched As Yet

During the year 1907, Kentucky
produced 9,740,420 tons of coal
valued at $10,714,462 making it
eighth amongst the States IN amount
mined. Most of this was mined in
the Western section and it is still far
behind the 100 millions raised in
Pennsylvania, but the State has the
area to equal the latter State. and
Southwark along the Alleghenies the
course Of King Goals empire is
vending its way. Kentucky's coal
was of the value of $1.10 a ton;
compare this with Slip for Penn
sylvania, and 90 cents for West Vir-
oinia.

The Remaining Timber.

The remaining timber is all hard
wood, mostly oak. This county has
been one of the most important lum-
Der producers because Of its mills
along the river and must see to it
that the changing conditions that are
today confronting the lumber bus
mess do not make us lose our pres
ent advantage. Economy will de-
mand that the finished product be
made nearer the source of raw ma
terial and with our gas, (of both
kind) we ought to make this a great
manufacturing point.
Many WAYS suggest themselves to
an imaginative mind how Winchester
should use these nearby riches, how
the citizens may get into the wave
of progress and prosperity that Is
bound to engulf our near neigh5ors
on the East and South. All our
hopes depend on transportation; we
are not in that wonderful treasure
house; its riches will have to be
brought to us, we can not go to
them. Our three railroads are an
equipment that gives us the advant
age over all competitors and then
our river will soon be locked and
damned all the way. We must see
to it that the mountain railroads of
the future do not pass US by. With
transportation we can secure fac
tories to work up the raw products,
and | think that In this regard we
have advantage over the mountains,
this being a more pleasant land to
live in and closer to the markets.
Profit to Citizens.
Our citizens generally and espec-
tally our farmers will profit by the
increase of population In the noun
tains which are so rough that their
arabic lands viii never be sufficient
to support many people.
In conclusion we must remember
that the good things come to them
who 60 after them and that with
all the material blessings in the
world heaped III one place they
would only be heap Of dirt if the
spirit TO use and control them were
not present. We are famous
throughout the State as a town of
high spirit; we must keep this up,
yes, even improve it also. Keep up
with the times that we may know
how to take advantage of our OPP
porturif ies; and continually extend
the '.giad handv to those who would
locatf amongst us and help to make
our Ilty what it should become.

Largest Coal Field.

Probably the largest undeveloped
coal field in the world is that of
Eastern Kentucky and West Virgin
la. These fields lie at Winchester
feet and must seek their Western
markets through her portals. Win
chester is nestled In fields of richest
bluegrass and is the first city that
is, coming westward out of the
mountains. This fact has been of
inestimable blessing to Winchester
already; but what has gone before
IS hardly a prelude to what is to
follow if Winchester citizens rightly
use them. The limestone dips un-
der the States of the Deovinian along
the city's southeastern border, and
they in turn render the white noun
tain lime of the observation-disclosures
and it under the sandstones, states,
and Goals of the true carboniferous.
Seven Workable Veins.
All the way to the Cumberland
mountains these coal bearing rocks
extend carrying as many as seven
