To Take Up Normal School Work.

State Superintendent of Instruction
j. j. Doyne has announced that he
will soon resign his position in order
to take up his work as president OF
the new State Normal School of Con-
way. which duties he is to enter upon
July /. His resignation will be sub
mitted to Governor Pindall before that
time, in order that the governor may
have plenty of time 10 appoint sue
cessor to fill Mr. Doyne's uneXpired
term. Reports TO the effect that Mr..
Doyne has already submitted his re-
signation to the governor are denied
by both Mr.. Doyne and Governor
Pindall. Mr.. Doyne's term of Office
expires November l, 1908. His success
sor will have about four months to
serve. Although the governor has
made no statement whatever as to
whom he will appoint in case of Mr..
Doyne's resignation, it is generally be-
lieved in state house circles that
George B. Cook of Hot Springs, can
didate for state superintendent of in
struction in the present campaign, will
be chosen. His nomination to the
office is now assured. as he has no
opposition, and his consequent cleo
ton, SO that in any event he will step
into the office November l. 1t is not
thought that the goveror would deem
it worth while to appoint anyone else
for a short time. Mr.. Doynes re-
SignatiOn is the cauSe of no SllrDriSe
as it has been known that he would
have to take up the duties of presi-
dent of the new normal school July
l. Although the school building will
not be completed at that time, he
will have to commence the work OF
arranging courses ana school work
in order to have everything planned

Missed Prescott.

Adjutant General Paul Little of the
Arkansas National Guard received a
wire Saturday from Maj. Thompson
of the regular army, in command Of
Fort Logan H. Roots, who is now con-
Quoting the annual inspection Of the
state militia, to the effect that he had
missed train connection In attempting
to reach Prescott, where he was to
have inspected Company NJ, Second In
fantry, and that he would probably
have to pass that company until later
on in the itinerary. Thus far Maj.
Thompson has missed connection on
his trip but twice, the other being
at McCrory, and he let both places
so rather than change the entire itin-
erary.
