COTTON BRINGS LARGE AMOUNT

Two bales of cotton were bought in this city yesterday afternoon which netted $2009S. One was purchased by w. M. Harrell & Go. from Thomas Sims of Guy, weighing 70S pounds, for which he received an even $100.
 Another bale was also bought by s. G. Smith from J. B. Potter of Eglan- tine, for $1O0.9S, being but 98 cents over that received by MT. Sims.
 That Conway is beating Little Rock prices for cotton this season is gen erally known by everyone, but it seems that she is also selling her goods considerable cheaper. A man living in Little Rock was here the first of the week and bought bill of furniture from w. M Harrell & Go. and shipped it to that city. The fur niture was purchased in Conway be- cause of the fact that after paying the freight to Little Rock, the price was considerably lower than it could have been bought there for the same quality of goods.

TRIP FOR CORN CLUB BOYS
CONWAY LAD IN PARTY TO BE IGNORED BY SECRETARY
 WILSON.

Little Rock, Oct. 29.- The trip which Elmer Halter, the Conway lad who won the sweepstakes prize in the boys corn club contest, which entities him to trip to Washington, D. C., will soon take, will be one of the most elaborate entertainments ever extend ed to boy. This trip was made pos sible by resolution suggested at the last session of the Arkansas Bankers Association by George w. Rogers of this city, offering a trip to Washing ton for the winner of the sweepstakes prize at the corn contest of the state. The resolution was unanimously adopted and Superintendent George s. Cook has been notified the association is ready to turn over the money for the trip whenever it is desired by the winner
 There have been a number of trips to Washington offered in the corn club contests in other states, and the win nerS Tn all or UneSe nave been ueClueu With so many of the youthful corn growers journeying toward the na- tional capital, Secretary of Agricul- ture Wilson has conceived the idea of entertaining them in a manner befit- ting boys who have attained such prominence in the agricultural world, but this could not be done with the boys stringing in one or two at time. For this reason he has taken the mat ter up with the officials who conducted the contests in the different states in order to get the boys all there at the same time If this is done, Secretary Wilson will personally conduct their tour over Washington and see they have all the side trips and courtesies which can be shown by Washington officials.

WILLIAM BUCkNER DIES
INJURIES RECEIVED IN RUNA- WAY YESTERDAY PROVE
 FATAL.

Succumbing to injuries received in a runaway accident yesterday morn ing, William A. 3uckner died at 10 o'clock last night, only few minutes after the arrival of his only child, Willard Buckner, of Nashville, Ark. Mr. Buckner never regained con sciousness after the accident, and the physicians entertained no hope for his recovery from the beginning. The skull was fractured at the base of the brain and only the wonderful vitality of the old man enabled him to live as long as he did after the injury.
 MT. Buckner was born in Tennessee June 4, 1883, and had lived in Conway for many years. He was twice mar ried and his first wife, the mother of his son, is supposed to be still living, but the son knows nothing of where she makes her home. The second wife has been dead for a number of years. Mr. Buckner served in the Confed- crate army. Before the war he was a mail carrier in service of the govern ment and carried the mail across the mountains to the Pacific coast.
 The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Services will be conducted at Fences undertaking establishment by Rev. J. B. Steven son, and the body will be buried at Oak Grove cemetery

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Egypt is the River Nile and the River Nile Is Egypt. Take away this stream of water which irrigates the land on both sides and there would be nothing but a burning desert. It is one of the most remarkable rivers in the world. Four thousand miles long, it has its source in Lake Victoria, Southern Africa. On and around that lake are perpetual rains. For a distance of over 1200 miles it flows through a desert where rain has never been known to fall, and in this distance no stream of any kind flows into 1t.
 For three weeks we travelled leisurely up the Nile with a party of 80 people and saw all there was to be seen. Our boat only ran in day and ''tied up' at night All we saw could not be described in a. short letter. Up and down this stream fiourished the most ancient civilization known to man. We saw the ruins of an- eient Thebes and, Memphis The wonder ful temple of 'karnak was visited. This temple, embracing many other buildings, covers over 1000 acres of ground and ex- cavations are still going on. A few years ago 1t was unknown: centuries of sand storms had completely covered 1t up and the Egyptians had built their mud huts on top of the great work of granite col

He is actually left much worse off in purse than if the old salary of $5O,OO0 had been left untouched and the travelling allowance had been con- tlnued that is unless for the next four years President Taft is to sacrifice prac- tically all the pleasures and the real ben efits that might come of occasional travels to portions of his country remote or dis tant from the capital, for $250 900 would not begin to pay the expenses of one years journeys as @ President ought to travel, as the dignity of the position compels him to travel and his pride and his sense of the proprieties will not permit him to accept favors as some of his predecessors have done. It is to the everlasting dis credit and shame of great world power that it's lawmakers take so narrow view of matter that ought not to admit of any discussion whatever.

Mr.. EWING WAS HERE.
Rumor That Lyon County
Crop Has Been Sold BY
Local Committee.

Gen. Mgr. Felix G. Ewing and
other officials of the Planters Asso-
citation were here Thursday and some
secret conferences were held about
which the public is busy guessing,
One rumor is that the County Com
mittee of Lyon county has sold the
entire Lyon county crop, except per-
haps that between the rivers, about
which nothing definite seems to be
known, and that a provision of the
contract is that Mr.. Ewing must
sign it. The price is said to be 81
cents round, loose or unprized de-
liveries. Parties from Lyon county,
it is said, laid the matter before Mr..
Ewing, with what success is not
known, as he is committed, in his
speech here, to the policy of holding
the new crop until all of the old crop
is sold.
