THE VALUE OF A LIFE

For the second time in his life
Thornton Hains has been acquitted
If a charge Of murder IN the first
degree. The first trial resulted '"cm
his having killed a man who was
with him in an open boat at Hamp-
ION Roads and in that trial he set
#up the plea of self defense. The part
(which he played in the killing of
William e. Annis is known to all.

 ing. It was supposed that when the tie could be broken this matter would again be taken up. but a member of the board who voted to take them away when there was a clash on with the court, stated yes terday nothing of the kind would be done. Governor Donaghey and Chairman lobe have voted together on the board and Commissioner Tucker and Secretary Ludwig on the other side. Attorney General Norwood has been away, and 1t is surmised he would vote now with Governor Donaghey should the matter come up, to allow the con victs to remain on the building.

 ''As soon as the atmosphere be- comes pleasantly cool and fresh at night, throw open all the windows and fill the entire house with it," she says. During the warm morn- ing and afternoon hours the win dows are closed, shutters drawn, and we revel in the delicious chill which remains from the night before. Whether or not this would be pos sible in small flat l do not know, but it is the best possible way to keep cool in a house.S

COTTON CROP IS
 BADLY DAMAGED

Far short of last years record breaking production will be the cotton crop of Faulkner county this year, according to the predic- tions of those who are best posted on the conditions. Several cotton men have asserted that not more than oue-half the number of bales would be produced as in the sea- son just closing, when over 20, ,ooo bales were ginned in the county and nearly 24, ,ooo shipped from Conway. This would bring the crop down under the figures of 1901, when less than II, ,ooo bales were shipped from Conway. The smallest numb r ginned since 1901 was of the crop of 1907, when the census bureau reported only I3 29o bales.
 The river land is said to be sui fering equally as bad as the hill country. Some of the planters de- clare the conditions on the river are the worst in the history of the county. While most of the dam age from the dronth is irreparable, good season" of rain would even yet do the crop much good.

Burge is a member of the executive commit tee of the state Farmers Union, and the new appointee is said to be on par with all other appoint ments made by Governor Dona- ghey, all which have been made to give the best service to the state, and not made to please politicians. This tendency has caused some unfavorable comments to be made OH Governor Dona- ghey, but even the disappointed people have to admit the appoint ments could not be rendered to better men.

HENDRIX PROSPECTS GOOD
President Thinks Enrolment
 will be Large.
Poor Crop Conditions will Apparently Not Lessen Number of Col
 lege Students.

The remarkably bad crop con- ditions over the state will apparent ly have no effect in lessening the attendance at Hendrix College next session, according to Presi- dent Stonewall Anderson, who is very optimistic over the outlook for the college. II believe we shall have more students enrolled than ever before," he said yester- day afternoon. II am daily re- ceiving letters full of encouraging news and the prospects are bright CT than I have ever known them before.
 Hard times" do not effect the attendance at boys college so much as is generally supposed. When times are unusually good many boys who would otherwise attend school are attracted by offers of good salaried positions and thus do not go to school. Good jobs are not so plentiful in years of poor business and the temptation of young men to work for wages in stead of attending college does not exist.

MISSIONARIES OF THE SUOAA
Out Cannibalism-Superstition and Witchcraft.

Missionaries wherever they work nave many difficulties to encounter and many hardships to contend with, but 1 doubt if there is any part of ';le earth where the missionary has a harder time than in the Sudan, said Dr. A. C. Hudson of Los An geles, who spent several months in that country.
 Despite the effort of the govern ment to stamp them out, cannibalis- tic practices are still prevalent in the Sudan. The government IS adopting strong measures to punish those responsible for such inhuman practices, and shortly before l left four natives were hanged for these atrocities. The natives are filled with superstition and fear the power of evil spirits.
 "The worship of their ancestors, witchcraft and the employment of witch doctors and fetich worship are among the obstacles that confront the missionary, but notwithstanding these and other difficulties the work of evangelization is producing en- couraging results, and in Africa to- day there are more than 3,500,000 Christians.
