CAS- DR|LLERS
HAVE TROUBLE

Little Rock, Oct. I5,-One OF
the pleasures of drilling for natural
gas is being experienced by the
Little Rock capitalists who are
now drilling for cheap fuel in the
vicinity of Plumerville. This
company had drilled to a depth
of $500 feet and the indications
for strong flow of gas were excep-
tionally good, when the rope cable
began to grow weak. A wire cable
was ordered and it was decided to
use the rope until the wire cable
arrived. On the day the stronger
cable arrived, now nearly month,
there was parting of the ways
between the upper and lower por-
tons of the rope. The upper
half was pulled out without the aid
of machinery, but the lower portion
settled in the hole with the drill
tools at the bottom.
From that time until today, the
drillers have been fishing, with the
aid of expensive machinery, for a
place where they can get hold on
the rope and pull out the obstruc-
ton. Nearly every day some
sort of hold is secured on the rope,
and the drillers become jubilant,
and give the signal to hoist. The
fishing tools come up all right, but
bring with them only small por-
ton of the rope, rotten end of
the cable. The drillers have not
despaired, and will keep right on
at the job until the tools are out
when the wire cable will be put
into service and the hole sent on
down until the earth has been
penetrated 5000 feet or gas in pay
quantities found, with which to
supply Little Rock with cheap
fuel.

U. CIV. m TURBULENT SESSION
Election of Commander Causes
Warm Contest.
Alter Senator Berry Refused
to Accept.

Little Rock, Oct. I5.-Vary-
ing the program a bit, the
Arkansas Division of the United
Confederate Veterans, which open
ed its annual convention here yes
terday at noon with Gen. James H.
Berry presiding, elected a com
mander yesterday afternoon, in
stead of putting it off until today,
as was arranged in the program.
Col. James Smith of Little Rock
was the choice of the convention,
after a very stormy session, IN
which a number of the veterans
made heated remarks, and for a
few minutes the atmosphere was
squally, as if the aged warriors
were about to give realistic re-
production of the days of GIGS.
The session was serene until the
nominations were commenced up
on. Col. Smith was the first can
didate nominated, but Gen. Green
followed quickly with the name of
Jonathan kellogg of Hitchcock and
Col. Green of Polk county nomi-
mated Col. Asa Morgan of Camden.
Then the fighting began. ACCUSE
tionafter accusationwas made across
the floor, and the lie was freely
passed.
In an effort to bring peace, Elk
Gov. Dan w. Jones arose and
placed James H. Berry in nomina-
ton. This electrified the veterans,
who began to cheer for the ex-sen-
ator. Gen. Berry arose aud, with
tears flowing down his face, begged
Gov. Jones to withdraw his name,
saying he was pledged to the other
candidates not to seek the honor a
third time. Gov. Jones did as re-
quested, and Gen. Kellogg had his
name withdrawn from the contest.
Col. Smith, who served through
the war as private, was then
made commander, by vote of o3
to 40. Brigade commanders were
then elected. as follows: I. R.
Johnson, First division, Hickory
Plains; DR.. w. A. Brown, Second
division, Monticello; DR.. w. P.
George, Berryville, Third division
and w. w. Folsom, Fourth divis-
ion, Hope.
Last night reception was given
at the Hotel Marion for the veter.
ans.
Today the convention will take
some action upon the proposition
of raising funds for monument tc
the women of the Confederacy IN
this state.

Fighting the Potato Bug.

Potato bugs are like interest on q
mortgage-they work day and night
When the broods first begin to hatch
Il is the time to act. The only rem.
edy practical and effective known al
present is paris green. This is mixed
with water and scattered on the
plants. The spraying apparatus is toe
we'll known to be described here.
To each barrel of water use seven
pounds cheap flour and one pound OF
paris green. Mix the -four and poison
in a bucket containing about two gal
Ions Of water and stir until thoroughly
mixed.
When the whole mixture is thor
oughly mixed pour into the barrel OF
water or the spraying machine and
keep the contents Of the barrel well
stirred while the sprayer is in mo-
ton.
The only serious objection to this
mixture is that 1t tends to clog the
screens in the pump. This can be
avoided by having the screens so they
can be taken out and re-inserted
quickly.
The screens can thus be taken out
and cleaned in a short time and the
sprayer go on without further inter-
ruption. The operation may seem
troublesome at first, but one spray
ing kills all the bugs, and it doesn't
matter If it rains within two hours
after it is applied.
Dew and rain will not wash it off,
and traces of it will remain for two
weeks and continue to destroy all new
hatchings of insects.
The flour forms paste that catches
all the particles Of paris green and
In turn adheres to the plant leaves.
In field sprayed thoroughly in this
way a second operation is not neces-
sary. The pump may be put away and
the grower rest assured that he is
through for the season.
The sprayer should not be driven
too fast, but each plant be allowed
to get its. full share Of the poison.
one barrel of this mixture should be
enough to cover about two acres.

,olN1 OWNERSHIP OF MILD.
Why Not Build and Operate Them Al
Home

Home.
In every cotton growing county I'D
the South there should be developed
strong sentiment in favor OF bulldlns
and operating local cotton Mills.
There should be encouraged JOINT
ownership of the stock in these mills
by the local people in each county
including farmers, merchants, bankers
and other avocations. Farmers shoulo
subscribe to the stock of these mills
on the basis of $40 per plow operated
ON the farm. These mills should De
built to spin cotton into yarns and
minimum amount of capital first en-
ployed necessary to their safe and
practical operation. AS the business
developed the capacity could be grad
ually extended to the maximum capi'
tai TO be employed. If such move
ment were started and made general,
within the next ten years the quesuon
of manufacturing the cotton crop IN
the South and by the people OF the
South would be solved. Under such
conditions the cotton growers would
occupy the enviable position of both
producers and spinners. If they did
not make full profits out OF The raw
product they would receive the diner
ence Il their dividends annually COM
ing IL from the factory in which they
held stock. Why should not these
things come to pass? Why have they
not already been put into praotlcai
operation more extensively? We know
that hundreds of farmers In Georgia
do own stock in numerous cotton mills
In the State and are receiving splen-
did dividends on the investment OF
their money in stock.
1t was a few years ago, thought to
be absurd for a farmer to own stock
or be identified with bank, yet
thousands Of our farmers today own
ctock in their local banks and hun
dreds of them hold high positions In
banks as directors or Presidents OF
such institutions. We are simply
sleeping on rights while the wide
awake foreigner is getting the richest
part of our treasure. We hold the key
in our hands which will unlock the
doors OF wealth greater than was ever
imagined to be stored up in Aladdin's
mines, and we do not seem to realize
1t.
Let us continue to produce our mo.
nopoly of one of the worlds two great
necessities, but let us also devote our
brains and money TO the rapid devel'
ppment of cotton mills in the South, to
the end that as our great staple prod
uct goes abroad to meet the world
wide demand of the human race, it

HENDRIX TO BE
CONGREGATIONAL
PLAN ADOPTED BY COMMISSION
For Correlation of Arkansas
Methodist Colleges.
First Authoritative Publication OF Plan
Making Radical Changes in lnsti-
buttons.
FROM saturdays DAILY.

The Log Cabin To-Day makes Tue
first authoritative publication OF
the plan adopted by the education
commission at Little Rock Mon
day, making radical and far-reach-
ing changes in the relations OF the
three Arkansas Methodist colleges,
Hendrix, Henderson and Gallo
way.
The most important feature OF
the plan is one which makes Hen
dirk College co-educational in
stitution, admitting boys and girls
on equal terms, and the only de-
gree-conferring institution OF the
Methodist church in this state, and
abolishing its academy depart
ment.
Henderson College, heretofore
an Independent co-educational col
lege, becomes junior college for
bows and Galloway College be-
comes junior college for girls,
each of these institutions preparing
students for entrance to the junior
class of Hendrix College.
The academy department OF
Hendrix is to be eliminated one
wear at a time, beginning next
September and continuing until
each OF the four years course OF
study in this department has been
abolished. Under the new plan
Henderson and Galloway will each
have six years of academy and
college work ard Hendrix will
Rave four years Of strictly college
work.
In explaining the plan Prof. R.
B. McSwain of Hendrix College,
says:
This plan cannot be carried
out Immediately and is still sub
iect to adoption of tie annual con-
ferences and by the boards OF
trustees. The growing enthusiasm
with which it is being received, in
dictates that there is to be practi-
cally no opposition on the floor OF
the annual conferences. The plan
is not felt to be not in favor of any
one school, but each has made
concessions in favor of better
system of schools in Arkansas.
The exact text of the resolutions
as adopted by the commission is
given below:
"We, the commission appointed
by the Arkansas, Little Rock and
White River annual conferences to
unity their educational interests,
recommends:
Il. That a board of twenty
four members, with equal confer
ence entation, be formed, to
have charge of all our educational
enterprises in Arkansas, subject to
all the regulations of the Metho-
dist church, south, including the
action of all the bodies having
appropriate jurisdiction. Each
conference shall determine the
term, qualifications, and methods
OF selection of its representatives
on this board.
-. That the trustees of each
institution be authorized to trans
fer the title, including trust
clause, as soon as this new board
is incorporated, and necessary
agreements reached.
IS. That the property of each
institution and all separate trusts
shall be administered separately.
"A. That joint action affecting
this board must be either by ma
jority in each of the conferences or
by a majority of all taken together.
"5. That Hendrix College be
co-educational in the junior and
senior years, and abolish the acad-
envy classes, one each year, begin
ming September, 1909; and that
