elected to represent the state in the legal battles which come up almost every day. On Monday the Bark CT demurrage act passed by the last legislature, a law of tremendous importance to every person who receives or ships goods by freight, was on trial in tn federal court. The railroads are already allowed to charge a shipper demurrage Ii he detains a car for more than 4S hours in loading or unloading. The Barker act provides that the shipper may collect demurrage if the railroad fails to furnish cars or to remove goods within reasona- ble time, thus placing the shipper on terms of equality with the rail roads. The railroads, through their high-salaried attorneys, at tackled the bill and the arguments on its constitutionality were set for Monday. The salaried attorneys of the railroads were present. But where was the salaried attorney of the state of Arkansas, the other party to the suit9 The paper of that date explains: Attorney General Kirby was in the city for few hours before the case came up, but left to fill political en- gagement at Sheridan" And the Barker reciprocal demurtage bill was declared unconstitutional. Possibly the outcome would have been the same had Attorney Gen. eral Kirby been present to look af- ter the interests of the state-but possibly not. At any rate, the state is paying MT. Kirby over $2oo a month to look after just such matters as these, and MT. Kirby is looking after nothing in the wide world but the nomina- ton for governor.

THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

It was the sense of the meeting held at the Board of Trade rooms Saturday night that the directors of the special school district of Conway should immediately ob- tain plans for the erection and financing of a new school building to cost not less than $40, 900.
 The Log Cabin Democrat is heart and soul in favor of the movement to secure a new school building and has repeatedly urg ed its need upon the people of the district. But we believe that the school itself is more important than the building in which 1t is con ducted and we do not believe that a building costing so great sum can be erected without seriously crippling the school for the next four or five years at least.
 With the three-mill state tax and the seven-mill district tax the maximum under the constitu- tution-the entire revenue of the district is only about S7ooo. It costs, in round numbers, S45oo to maintain an eight months school. This would leave S25oo per year which could be applied to a build ing fund. Now, how far will s.

TOM COX'S PARTNER.

Of course, nobody in the state has given the slightest credence to the charge originated by McFarlane and echoed by Jeff Davis at Ozark, that Tom Cox, the noted boodler, was a partner of George w. Dona ghey in his bid on the state cap itol. And, of course, everybody knows equally well that Tom l.. Cox is and has been all along the partner of Caldwell & Drake in their nefarious attempts to poodle the capitol appropriations through the legislatute. This is not only an apparent fact, but matter of record backed by the decision of the supreme court.
 A further evidence of this fact is suit which was filed in the circuit court of Pulaski county last Thursday, in which Tom l.. Cox and George w. Caldwell of the firm of Caldwell & Drake are defendants, and tn e Southern Trust Go. are plaintiffs, to collect a note for SIooo executed JOINT- LY by the defendants in favor of the plaintiffs. The complaint states that MT. Caldwell and MT. Cox borrowed $Iooo on August 9 1907, and gave their joint note which reads, "We, or either of us, promise to pay" etc; and that the note was due November I, 1907, and that the Southern Trust Go. demanded payment on it, but 1t was reused.

PUBLIC SERVANTS AND THEIR
 DUTIES,

The sentiment is rapidly grow ing that public servant should devote his time and energies to a performance O. the duties of the of flee to which the people have elected him, instead of traipsing over the country on a perpetual campaign. At the present time, for instance, while Senator Jeff Davis is stumping the state in the interest of the only candidate who represents my views legislation of intense importance is pending in the United States senate. Sena- tor Aldrich, the son-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, has seized upon the popular demand for an increas- ed circulating medium, caused by the panic last fall, and has drafted a financial bill which will put the country more completely than ever in the grasp of the eastern fnan- ciers and speculators. Some of the Republican senators have joined the Democrats in opposition to the bill aud are heroically endeavor to defeat it. But the senate is nun erically a small body and the vote and influence of every sena- tor who has the peoples interest at h ar is urgently needed against 1t. The bill, however, will either be- cgn1e a law or be defeated without voice or vote of the junior sem from Arkansas being heard on The southern members ot q E ress are also trying hard to

 means millions of dollars to the people of each of the southern states. It is being vigorously op- posed, but the southerners hope to carry it through. And while Sem ator Davis is dictating to the peo- pie of Arkansas for whom they shall vote for governor, the cotton tax bill will either be passed or go down in defeat, without his efforts in its behalf.

500 year go toward paying for a $40 % school building?

500 year go toward paying for a $40, ,oo school building3
 It is assumed that the only pos sible way new building can be erected is by the issuance of bonds. Tn order to be sold at par these bonds will doubtless have to bear interest at the rate of six per cent. The interest, therefore, would ex- haust practically all of the surplus revenue each year and leave noth- ing for a sinking fund. Of course, the population and the taxable values of the district are going to increase and thereby increase the revenue of the district. But as the population increases, so will the cost of maintaining the school, although not in so great propor- tion.
 We believe, as we have said in another article, that new building should be erected at once, so as to be in readiness for the next session, if possible; that it should be fine, permanent edifice, in keeping with the need of the district and the reputation of Conway as an ed ucational center. But we believe that such a building can be erected at a cost of $25,ooo or S3o,o at the maximum; that we can do this without impairing the efficiency or subtracting from the length of the school and that when we have out grown the new building, the en- rollment will then have become so great that the school ought to be divided and another building, probably for the high school ex- clusively, ought to be erected.

Making Good.

There is no way of making ldsttng friends like "Making GOod;" and Doctor PierceS medicines well eXemplfy this, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity, are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have umade good and they have not made drunkardS.
 A good, honest, square deal medicine of known composition is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an im- mense sale, while most of the prepara- tions that have come into prominence in the earlier period of it's popularity have Ugone by the board " and are never more heard of. There must be some reason for this long time popularity and that is to be found in its superior merits. When once given fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, it's supe- rior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence 1t has survived and grown in pop ular favor, while scores of less meritoriouS articles have suddenly flashed into favor for brief period and then been as soon forgotten.
 For torpid liver with it's attendant indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per hapS dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing is so good as Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, sQuare-deal medicine with all It's ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper no secret, no hOcuS-pOcuS humbug therefore don't accept substitute that the dealer may possibly make little big ger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call for.
 Don't buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion expecting it to prove rcure- -all." It is only advised for woman'S special ail mentS It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Less advertised than some preparations sold for like purposes, its sterling curative virtues still maintain its position in the front ranks, where it stood over two decades ago. As an in- vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv- inc it is unequaed. It won't satisfy those who want 0boOze," for there is not drop of alcohol in it.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the orfgt. nal Little Liver Pills, although the first pill of their kind in the market, still lead, and when once tried are ever afterwards in favor. Easy to take as candy-one to three a dose. Much tnsatdted but neUer eQIGied.

remarks of Davis when he opened his campaign for Senator at Con- way where he stated that Don- aghey had single handed defeated the $500, ,ooo State Capitol steal, and also Davis commendation of Donaghey's work on the University buildings of Fayetteville.
 MT. Donaghey charged that 1t was costing the taxpayers at the rate of SI7 ,ooo year for Kirby and Davis to make their campaign against him and severely arraigned MT. Kirby for leaving his post of duty to stump the state for gover- nor.
 Mir. Donaghey was enthusiasti- cally cheered when he promised that if elected governor he would stay in the office and attend to its duties. His address was a favor able surprise to his friends who did not expect such a splendid showing in the face of Davis ora tory.
 Crowd was With Donaghey.
 It was freely admitted that, des- bite the frequent assertions that Donaghey could not make speech he was more than able to take care of himself along that line. After the speaking 1t was the sentiment of those who had seen and heard the entire affair that Donaghey had been strengthened in his hold upon the people of Franklin county, and it was freely predicted that he would carry the county by hand some majority. In fact, there were a number of offers made by Dona- ghey's supporters in that county to wager their money on Donaghey carrying the county, but no takers could be found.
 After Donaghey concluded his address McFarlane made a speech, but only handful remained to hear him.
