BETTER SCHOOLS.

General Interest in School improve
 ment Shown Throughout State.
 The school patrons or Arkansas are coming to appreciate the value of work accomplished through School lm- provement Associations, thus bringing together the patrons and teachers to work for the practical betterment or school conditions.
 Last year this campaign was insti- tuted by State Superintendent Geo. B. Cook. Eighty-three active associa- thons with three thousand members in thirty-nine counties, competed for the loving cup offered by Superintendent Cook for the Banner s. l. A. of Ark ansas. The trophy was won by the Central Association in Little Rock and the reports showed that these organ izations had raised and expended for the schools ten thousand dollars and had encouraged the expenditure of a half million dollars for new houses and equipment.
 The loving cup will be competed for again this year at the State Teachers Association at Hot Springs, December 2S, 29 and 30 and report blanks are now being sent to each s. I. A. I'd
 School Improvement Associations are now organized in practically every county. Twenty-six new associations were organized during the past thirty days and Miss Eva Reichardt, field representative, has more requests to visit schools than can be filed Three hundred new school houses have been built in Arkansas in the last year at cost of a half million dollars and the School Improvement Idea .is nalk- ing itself felt in many ways directly beneficial to our boys and girls.

MARRIED WOMAN
 NEVER SAW HER
TRIED TO FILE A DIVORCE SUIT BUT COULD NOT GET
 IT FILED.
Says That He Has No intention to Marry Again, Unless He Gets
 Chance to See His Wife.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. Married to a woman he never saw before nor since the ceremony was performed in the parlor of hotel in Seattle on November l, is the strange experience of F. M. Stipp. a widower, living at North Yakima, Wash, who sought to file an action for a divorce in the su- perior Court of Yakima county. The complaint was not filed for the reason that Stipp had no counsel and the prosecuting attorney would not order the clerk of courts to put it on re- cord. Stipp alleges that he does not know the name of his wife, also dis claiming having acquiesced in the pro- ceedings. He says the ceremony was performed while he was seated in the hotel parlor reading Three men and a woman entered the parlpr and went through marriage ceremony, iR which he was made the bridegroom. The party left the room soon after ward and he has not seen the men or woman since, but fears an interior mo tive in the strange action of the quar- tet Stripp's wife died 20 years ago, and, he declares, he has no desire to marry second time. but if he does he wants to know something about his wife. at least to become familiar with her name.

cords by not only submitting the ques tion of the amendment to the consti- tuition, but enacted the now famous Fuller bill which is conceded to be the most drastic sumptuary law ever drafted. The bill to be voted on Mon- day, provided for the submission to the voters of an amendment to the constitution for the purpose of for ever prohibiting the manufacture, sale and keeping for sale of alcoholic and malt liquors and other intoxicating liquors and beverages, with the ex- ception that alcohol may be sold for medical, scientific and mechanical purposes. and wine for sacremental purposes under such regulations as the legislature may have prescribed CT may hereafter prescribe and to de- clare that nothing in the constitution of Alabama shall be construed to pre- vent the legislature under the polise power from designating the places where such liquors may not be stored or kept"
 The second provision would give to the legislature the power to prohibit citizens from keeping liquors in their homes, if at any time prohibition en- thusiasm became strong enough to de- mand. this drastic action. The latter part of the amendment is put forth frankly to meet the recent ruling of the supreme court that liquor is a commodity which can be possessed and stored where and in such quanti- ties as it's owner may see fit so long as he does offer it for sale.
 The fight during the campaign just closed has been marked by more bit terness than has attended any other political issue in years. Both United States Senators and five of the nine congressman are opposing the amend ment. Gov Conner, Lieut-Gov Gray and Speaker Carmichael are support ing it.
 During the balloting tomorrow, the women will serve hot coffee and lunches to voters. All guesses as to the result are hazardous. About half of the 150,000 voters failed to pay their poll tax, not knowing that there would be an election this year, conse- quently these are debarred from vot- ing. Just which side is affected is not known. That the fight will be close, and that the result will not be known until t4e votes are all counted goes without saying.

WILL DECIDE
 LIQUOR LAW WILL DECIDE WHETHER MANu. FAcTURER AND SALE IS PART
 OF ORGANIC LAW.
Local Option Law Was Passed in 1907 Fuller Law Is Now Up Before
 the House for Action.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 27.-The voters of Alabama will decide Monday whether they will make the prohibi- ton of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors part of the or ganic law of the state. The question of whether the state constitution is to be thus amended was submitted at a special session of the state legisla- ture called by Gov. Conner last Au- gust. That session was one of the most bitter in the history of the com monwealth and the campaign which followed and which closed tonight. was not more peaceful.
 The amendment which would for. ever bar liquor from the state is the crowning feature of the most drastic anti-liquor legislation ever introduced in any state. The present legislature, elected on local option platform, took the bit in it's teeth and went to extremes unheard of before, in all lines of prohibition law making.
 Obeying the platform which the people endorsed at the general cleo tion of 1906, the two houses passed in 1907, a local option bill which held the county as the unit. The oppo- nents of prohibition fought this act
 
 on it's passage and in larger counties tried to prevent applicationslBut they
 did not know how we'll off they were, for this agitation resulted in another move by the radical prohibitionists. who at special session, the same year, during which. after bitter fight. both houses passed almost unanimously the statewide prohibit tion bill. Again the liquor element fought. with the repeal of the act as it's object. Again the prohibitionists retaliated. this time by the special session ef 1909. which broke ali re-

Thoughts of London.


 'I am looking forward to reaching London, England, When also expect mail from home. We were out on deck taking some pictures with my camera this morning. The day is simply perfect after much rainy wea- ther. About 10 a. m. today, we just came in sight of land for the first time. along the coast of Ireland We make stop at Mobile this D. m. about ? o'clock, and will reach Scotland about 8 a. m. tomorrow, after which of necessity, we will be compelled to go through much red tape before we land, with the quarantine and the GUS tom house officials.
 Sunday night--I have just finished packing my trunk and have every thing ready to start out in the morn ing. think I can safely say thor oughly rested up for the trip. We are sleeping half of the time. take a rest every afternoon. but all that's  over now for several days.

 The Shores of Erin.
 Tt Is positively grand. Along the sides of the hills there are few trees to be seen. The trees are simply beau tiful. with every shade of green i'm agnable, from the palest and daint- fest. to the darker and more heavier green. The houses are very small and are painted white.
 We saw the ruins Of an old castle along the hillsides; and they say the coast can't hold candle to the in. terrr of dear old Ireland.
 We also passed Rathlin Island, made famous by the cave in which Robert Bruce is said to have received his encouragement from the spider. We are now passing light house on a high and rocky part of Scotland. The trip from now on is going to be very interesting

 " See Paris and die, that is what some people say, but one nearly dies from the fatigue, trying to see every thing in this wonderful city.

FALLS FROM STAGING.
Montpelier Painter Takes a Tumble
of Thirty Feet.

Dayton P. Clarke, the painter, fell
from staging on Tuesday while
at work painting the house of G. G.
Bliss on Winter street. The staging
was about twenty-five feet from the
ground. Another man was with him
at the time and when the ladder be-
gan to slip he saved himself by
hanging on to some electric wires
hanging in the air until help came
and he secured a rope with which
to let himself down.
Mr. Clarke was rendered partially
unconscious by the fall and DR.. c.
Z. Chandler was Immediately sum-
moned A quick examination reveal
ed the fact that no bones were brok-
en- as to whether or not he is injured
internally or in the head cannot be
determined at once. The ambulance
was summoned and Mr.. Clark was
taken to his home at 20 Summer
where the physicians made a
more thorough examination. Mr..
Clarke is rather aged man and it
is considered almost remarkable that
no bones were broken. Dawley, the
man who was with Mr.. Clarke was
uninjured. /
1t is not known exactly how the
accident occurred as nobody saw 1t
but it is thought to have occurred
through insecure fastenings.
Mr.. Clarke's fall was broken some
what by striking telephone wire
between the place from which he fell
and the ground. This wire was pull
ed completely out of it's fastenings.
1t was learned as we go to press that
the accident was likely due to the
fact that Mr.. Clarke lost his balance
near the end of the staging which
was erected about at the caves of
the house. The other painter was
standing higher up on a ladder
standing erect and was painting the
triangular section of the house be-
low the gable. The fall of the stag
ing dislodged this ladder which went
flying to the ground. Had 1t not been
for the quick presence of mind of
the painter in catching the electric
wires his death would have probably
been the result for he was consider
ably higher than Mr.. Clarke.

DRINKS CARBOLIC ACID.
Ill Health Prompted Mrs. Temple
ton to Take Her Own Life on Sat.
urday Afternoon.

Mrs. Austin Templeton, wife of
one of East Montpeliers best known
farmers, committed suicide on Sat-
urday afternoon by taking carbolic
acid. Mrs. Templeton had been in
very feeble health for the past two
years and lately had failed rapidly.
Discuragement and dependency
over her continued i'll health is
thought to have prompted the taking
of her own life. Mrs. Templeton
drank the acid shortly before two
o'clock on Saturday Afternoon. Mr..
Templeton was in the next room
when she procured the bottle from
the pantry shelf. She died within a
very short time, never regaining
consciousness, and scarcely SEEM
ing to suffer any pain from the eff
fects Of the powerful poison. Just
how much she had swallowed could
not be determined but death came
very easily without the terrible suf-
fering which usually attends the
taking of carbolic acid.
Mary Foster Templeton was born
in East Montpelier rs years ago,
and spent all of her life in her ma
tive town. She married Austin
Templeton and they had a very
comfortable and prosperous farm
property in East Montpelier. No
children were born to them. Mrs.
Templeton was woman highly res
pected in the community and the
news OF her death was heard with
great regret.
Mrs. Templeton is survived by her

TO PROVIDE PAPER CUPS.
Public Schools Hay Be Supplied
with Sanitary Drinking Cups.

Supt. F. J. Brownscombe has plan on
foot by which the public schools may be
supplied with sanitary paper drinking
cups instead of the metal vessels now
used in the grades and the High school.
The new cups are of heavy paper and
thick enough to prevent the water from
soaking through when used only once,
then being thrown away, to do away with
any chance OF infection from the public
use of the cup. In some of the primary
grades, the pupils have indiv dual drink
ing cups aud these are boiled every night,
to insure the pupils against infection. but
Superintendent Browrscombe desires to
install the new style cups to reduce the
danger to the smallest possible degree.
