 Sweat trickled from the back jungle of his disordered hair along the ravines and furrows of his hag- gard face. He advanced and re- freated, rising upon his toes and coming down on his heels with dis beating jerk that made the windows rattle, pausing occasionally to in- hale through his dilating nostrlls tempestuously, and then emitting a shrieking epigram or apostrophe that thrilled the blood like wild cry at midnight in a solitary place.

FIRST BALE SOLD
 ON CONWAY MARKET

The first bale of 1909 cotton brought to the Conway market was sold to Frauenthal & Schwarz this morning at IS cents per pound. The bale was raised by T. z Higgs on the D. O. Harton place on the Arkansas river. It was classed as strict middling and weighed 4oo pounds, bringing the owner $73 50.
 ,, w. $. Hendrickson acted as auctioneer for the bale, and only two bids were made. Capt. w. w. Martin, for Martin & Harton, started it at I2Kc and Charles Frauenthal, for Frauenthal & Schwartz, bid Isc, at which price il was sold.
 The interest ill the first bale on the local market was lessened tC some extent by the fact that J. E. Little brought bale to Conway one week ago, the earliest in the history of the county. This bale, however, was not put on the local market. but was shipped to Little Rock, being the first to reach tha' city, and was sold by the Board of Trade for SPA per pound.

COAL VEIN 6
 FEET THICK
 DISCOVERED

The reported discovery of a thick vein of coal lying only IS feet be- low the surface of the ground, on the K. l.. Turner place five miles west of Conway, caused quite a little excitement in this city this morning. w. M. Watts, who brought samples of the coal to town, stated that the vein is over six feet thick, as it was dug through to that depth without finding the bottom of the vein. The coal was discovered by K. l.. Turner, who is digging a we'll on his place The samples of coal have the appearance of anthracite, but are considerably lighter in weight and are easily crushed, /, This is said by some to be due to the fact that 1t is found so near the surface of the ground.
 MT. Watts, who owns I2o acrt S of adjacent land, and other neai by property owners are much inter- ested in the discovery, and it is probable that thorough investiga- ton of the ccal deposit will be made.

Lonoke, Aug. 25.-In the fu- ture magistrates who commit de- fendants to jail or bind them over to await the action of the grand jury and fail to prepare proper transcripts of proceedings for the clerk of the court are likely to whistle for their fees. The grand jury which has just been in session has had a great deal of difficulty with a number of cases where pro per transcripts were not made. This state of affairs did not please the gentlemen on the jury and they have recommended that fees and cost bills be not allowed to magistrates in ali such cases.

Peary Should Put Up or Shut Up

Charlotte News.
In a signed statement made to a
representative of the Associated Press
on yesterday, Commander Peary de-
clared: II am the only white man
who has ever been to the North
Pole" Perhaps. Further than this
statement, Commander Peary re-
fused to offer any evidence backing
up his assertion that Dr. Cook is a
faker.

| will prove that he is the only white
man to enter the polar region.
The fright time" to offer proof is
when one man makes an open charge
which reflects upon the integrity and
honesty of another Unless such
proof is available, it were better to
withhold all insinuations until "the

The public prefers proof to billings
gate. In SO far as this paper is con-
cerned, it believes that both Peary
and Cook reached the pole, and will
continue to believe this until it sees
the proof that Cook is an imposter.
We have given, considerable space
to Peary's account of his trip be-
cause it is the ivest news of the day,
and because the public wants the
news. Our private opinion is that
Commander Peary is making an ass

villifcation without Offering proof

A city may have the fine climate,
