 THE STATE FAIR
Governor DOnaghey Pledges Personal Support He Says Conway
 Would Take the
 "State Fair"

Hot Springs, May 3l.-At a mass meeting tonight in the in- crest of the State Fair Associa- tiou, Governor Douaghey made a stirring addresS, advocating the continuance of the far, and pledging his personal support 10 institution and its future success.
 The sum of s, GOO was raised at the meeting toward carrying put the work until the opening day, aud it is believed $3, ,000 more will be subscribed within the next thirty days.
 The fair was about to be aban- toned when an appeal to the leg Islature for an appropriation fail- ed, and when the bill fot the re- wal of racing also Tailed. Eth sr of the proposed laws would iave assured the success of the tair without further public sub -criplions. Neither was passed, however, and he fair was about 10 Le abandoned.
 You can say we will continue he state fair" said President Bedding of the association, after the meeting adjourned tonight.
 Governor Douaghey said, "Il he people of Hot Springs do not want the state fair al $5,000, my town Of Conway will take 1t of your hands at $10. GOO.

CUTS DEEP WITH
 STATE CHARITIES
Complaint Because Donaghey Sliced These Appropriations and Left Money for Normal School
 DOrmitory.

Little Rock, June 3 There IS some criticism, anything but slle hl, being heard as result of the le,renchment policy of the governor relative to the state charitable institutions. T h e deep cut of SO per cent on the blind school and deaf mute in- stitu'e appropriations, taking out much Of the maintenance fund Tor the indigent stndents, is just now beginning to attract at tention, and in view of the fact that It has been seriously sug- gested by the management of the institution that, rather than cripple the schools, they should be suspended entirely, it appears that the question may be vtry serious one. It was particularly suggested b J Superintendent Mashburn of the deaf mute in- stitute, that the institution had better suspend than undertake to cut out the maintenance for the poorer children.
 It IS stated that with the full cut suggested by the governor, he attendance al the deaf mute will probably fall off one-half this next season, and that the lndigent pupils will be the ones first fleet. ed. The enrolment for the past year was 534, with applications Tor 40 others who could not be cared for without additional fa- cilitlSs. With tue cut made by the governor this enrolment will naturally drop down. Some shift will be made to get the indigent pupils home this summer after the close of the schools, but how they will get back, if ever, is a question that remains to be solv- ed. The transportation and free clothing items are cut out, ard many of these children are abso- lutely dependent upon the state for their support. One item that has called out particular criticism was the veto of $500 for the maintenance of homeless blind children at the blind school dur. ing the summer months, there Icing several children with no bones and the state simply car ing for them in this way.
 Administration critics are also not overlooking the fact that, ID tue appropriation tor the state normal school at Conway, the home oi the governor, there was an item of S27 1000 retained tor girls dormitory, when, Tn view 10 f f h general retrenchment policy insisted upon by the gov ernor, aud from tue further fac: that hardly state normal in the Union has such a thing as a dormitory in connection with it. This S27, 1000, it IS pointed out, If applied on the two charitable institutions, would have gone far toward mitigating the blow of retrenchment, and would have saved several instructors and much maintenance fund.

 A proclamation has been issued b. the governor, however, calling $ special election in every county, aud including not ouly the vote for chief justice, bat associate iustce, but also for every town snip and county office where va cancies now exist. This will mean that candidates must groom ina hurry, If they would win po- llic Il honors in their ueig hbor- hood. 1 also ue cans that there i'll be d chance for good deal of neig hborhood politics, if the communities are well supplied with the usual prospective off ce holders, whether township or county.

 A prominent local attorney stated last afternoon that iu case of no election being held, the ap- p0ntee would continue in office under tue provision that he should serve "until his successor is elect ed and qualitied.'
