TO TAKE ACTION ON
new ASYLUM

Little Rock, Dec. 3.-The state pen
tentiary board and board of trustees
of the state charitable institutions will
hold regular monthly sessions next
Monday. Aside from instructing Au-
ditor lobe to pay $4,000 on the pur-
chase price of the state farm, the peni-
tentiary board, it is said, will only
consider routine business.
1t is very likely that the state char
liable board will take some action
looking to the erection of the addition
al state insane asylum, for which the
last Legislature made an appropriation
of 100000. The board recently Wis
tied Fort Smith to inspect the site
oqered by the citizens of that place
for the location of the institution, and
it is very likely that they will visit
other points in the state before decid-
ing upon the location.
The hospital in Pulaski county has
in the neighborhood of rs insane pa
tients, who are supported by the tax
payers of the county, and the law con
templates that they should be the
wards of the state.

WORKING ON INTERURBAN.

Hot Springs, Dec. 3.-Within the
past weeks reports coming from Lit
tie Rock have indicated that there will
yet be something doing on the inter
urban line project before long. Re
ports are that activity is being shown
in the general offices of the Little
Rock and Hot Springs lnterurban
railway company, indicative of an
other campaign to arouse public inter
est to the extent necessary to secure
the line.
l.. Garrett, general manager, is still
as active and optimistic as ever. He
has put in nearly five years on the pro
ject, which represents thousands OF
dollars in salary, as he resigned a high
position in the traffic department of 8
steam railroad to build the Little Rock
and Hot Springs interurban. He anC
his associates have also spent the
thousands of dollars incident to max
ing all preliminary estimates, surveys
travelling about the country interest
ing capital in New York, st. Paul anC
other cities.

DANIELS CASE
SET FOR TRIAL

Clarksville, Dec. 3.-There is great
public interest in the approaching ses-
sion of circuit court which convenes
here next Monday, the chief case to
be tried being that of Orville Daniels,
prominent merchant, for killing his
former business partner, DR.. }. W.
Mitchell, an equally prominent physi-
clan.
The doctor was killed in Daniels
home, wherein he had been roomer
for a long time. At the coroners in
quest testimony was adduced to show
that the room of MitchelPs had been a
meeting place for the doctor and Dan
iels' wife, during the husbands alb
sence 1t is believed that letters fall
ing into Daniels hands, written by
his wife to the doctor referring to
their meetings in the latter's room,
and advising him to leave the resi-
dence and take up his abode in hotel,
were the immediate cause of the kill
ing. Mrs. Daniels is in another state,
she having left home ostensibly to Wis
it relatives, before the tragedy.
Ben l.. Griffin will open his cam
paign for congress from the Fifth
district here on the same day. His
opponent, o. c. Ludwig, has decided
to meet him on the platform here.

ARKANSAS RICH IN
FOREST RESOURCES

Washington. Dec 3.-Nearly three
fourths of the state of Arkansas, or
more than 24,000,000 acres, is covered
with forest and woodland. Only one
state in the union, Maine, has a larger
percentage of forest area than this.
The Arkansas forests are of particu-
larly rich and varied type. The great
yellow pine belt of the gulf states
sends long projection across Arkan-
sas, giving the state one of the larg-
est bodies of short-leaf pine in the
country Loblolly pine grows there,
too, and also cypress. OF hardwoods
there is great abundance. Oak, ash,
guh, hickory, cottonwood, elm, syca-
more, yellow poplar and other valu-
able hardwood trees flourish in Arkan-
saS.
The Arkansas forests are being
heavily drawn upon to furnish other
less well-supplied states with the many
forms of wood which modern industry
requires. The annual value of all for
est products of Arkansas is not less
than $50,000,000. The largest crop
of cotton Arkansas ever produced was
something over a million, bales, in
1908. Yet even this great crop did
not have a value at the point of pro
duction equal to that of the forest
products of the state. The value of
the corn crop of Arkansas the same
year, more than 5000, 900, was only
equal to that of the lumber and coop
erage stock manufactured in the
state.
For users of forest products, Ar
kansas is noteworthy in many ways. 1t
supplies more red gum and hickory
lumber than any other state; more
tight barrel slaves and headings THAI
any other state; nearly one-seventh
of the slack k-barrel slaves produced in
the United States, not to mention the
great quantities of wood used for
crossties, posts, poles, rails, and fire
wood.

THREE TO Hang
ON DECEMBER II

There will be three hangings in Ar
kansas before the Christmas fires.des
are decorated with holly and mistletoe.
Not that Christmas cheer has any
thing to do with legal executions, but
three unfortunate wretches, unless
something unforeseen arises, will be
hanged Just about the time that
Christmas shopping is at its height,
The execution day of all three is set
December II. The victims are Will
Crosby, Butler Ferguson, and c. Ii.
Miller, the latter a white man.
Crosby is charged with numbering
James Howard and his son near Sol
gohacha, in the vicinity of Morrilton,
where the execution will take place.
Ferguson is to hang for staying Pet
Henderson, a young white man. at
Nashville, Ark. c. H. Miller, white,
murdered an old fisherman named
Flood and afterwards burned his body
in stove. All the bones were not
burned up. This led to the discovery
of the crime Miller, in Jail, assaulted
the Judge who sentenced him with the
thigh bone of his victim, which he had
stolen from the evidence exhibits.

LAD BROWNS IN CADRON
GUY HAMMER SLIPPED INTO
CREEK AT GLEASON AND
LOST HIS LIFE.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
Gleason, Dec. 3.-Losing his balance
on the bank of the Cadron creek here
this morning, Guy Hugh Hammer, the
seven-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w
A. Hammer, fell into the water and
was drowned, his body being recovered
about two hours later.
The lad was sent by his mother to
get bucket of water from the creek
at about 10 o'clock this morning. When
he had not returned in about 80 min
utes she went to look for him and saw
on the slippery bank of the stream
the tracks where his feet had slipped
and he had fallen into the creek. The
water at that point is about Is feet
deep and the body was recovered short
ly after noon by the use of grab-hooks
about 20 feet from the edge of the
water.
The boy was born on April 7, 1902
and was a very bright child.

CORPSE" COMES TO LIFE.

Leslie, Dec. 3.-Preparations for
the burial of James Duncan of this
city were abruptly halted when the
supposed dead man began to breathe,
and the doctor who sometime before
had folded Duncan's hands across the
breast was speedily summoned After
an examination followed by treatment
the almost deceased was pronounced
by the doctor to stand an excellent
show of recovering his health. The
burial clothes that had been secured
were then put away indefinitely.

FARMS PAY BIG

Lonoke, Dec. Information has
been received here of the appointment
of J. T. Booker of Cabot, this county,
as demonstrator of farm work in this
county The appointment was made
yesterday by Prof. j. A. Evans, in
charge of government farm demon
stration work in Arkansas, in pursu-
ance of a plan whereby the depart
ment pays $500 of the yearly salary,
the balance being paid by the citizens
of the county.
ten other counties, Craighead, Lee
Greene, Lawrence, Independence, Van
Buren, jackson, st. Francis, Faulkner,
and Jefferson, that have demonstra
ton farms that are being operated on
this plan. These men work under the
supervision of the department, state
and district agents, and establish and
supervise from 30 to 100 farms in each
county.
Prof Evans stated yesterday that
the proposition is still open to every
county and that he expected it would
pe accepted by nearly, if not all, the
counties in the state. During the past
year there were 1000 demonstration
and cooperative farms in operation in
Arkansas, the cost to the government
for their maintenance being about
$4,000. Prof. Evans estimated the
increased yield from the land on those
farms amounted in value to not less
than $250,0

MANY WELCOMED
THE NEW YEAR
WHISTLES. HORNS AND OTHER
NOISY THINGS ANNOUNCE
ITS ARRIVAL.

The year 1909 was given a royal
welcome by many OF the Brunswick
people as it crept into existence at
midnight, while a fond farewell was
given to the dying year.
As the city and county clocks struck
II last night there was an outburst
of noise that notified every one of the
arrival of the new year. Whistles
blew, bells rang, the band played, boys
In all parts of the city made noise
with horns, tin cans ard any other
thing which could produce a noise. and
altogether Brunswick was noisy
place for a few minutes.
But the celebration was nothing as
compared to that of a year ago. when
the saloons went out of business in
Georgia and the state became dry.
1t will be remembered that people VA
raded the streets. fired pistols, yelled
and screamed for hours on that night
celebrating the arrival of prohibition.
T. is likely that the people of Ala
bama held Just such celebration as
that last night, as that entire state
is now dry.
There were several dances, par
ties, etc, last night and at all of
them the Young folk remained up to
see TIE arrival OF the new year A
number of big bontires early last night
attracted considerable attention and
