Takes Place Friday Eve.

The election of the various county
delegates is to take place on New
Years eve. and while the date was
fixed by the state committee, it chose
a poor night for the average democrat,
but good one for the various mayors
who can order out the city employees to
attend the mass conventions and elect
delegates to suit the mayors. Such a
condition might exist under certain cir
cumstanees. Such circumstances would
practically assure the election of c. j.

AhIborn Has Figures.

William Ahlborn, chairman of the
finance committee. presented these fig
ures to the singers, and pointed out
the fact that this was accomplished
in a year when prosperity had not
yet returned. He said that it was rea-
sonable to assume that the society's
holding would continue to increase in
thesee prosperous times, and the So
eiety would continue to make money
aside from the regular payments on
shares. BY taking out building and
loan shares with accumulated funds in
any of the local companies. he said,
would produce another 10 or II per cent
interest a year. thus bringing the total
interest up to possibly 80 per cent, a
figure which duplicates the earning ca

SCENE: IN
COURTROOM
Robertsdale Lady Faints in
Testifying in Divorce Case
in Superior Court This
Morning, and Much Sym
pathy for Witness Shown.


One of the most dramatic scenes
that have ever been witnessed in the
Lake Superior court occurred this
morning when Mrs. Linneman of Rob-
ertsda1e got on the witness stand to
testify against her daughter in the di-
vorce case of Worley VS.. Worley.
The old lady gave her testimony and
then, gasping for air. she tainted. The
court attaches crowded about her and
gently lifted her down from the wit
ness stand. The windows of the court
room were opened so that she could
be revived by the fresh air and she soon
recovered sufficiently to be removed to
her home.
Seeking Divorce.
Mr.. and Mrs. Worley are both seeking
a divorce. Mrs. Worley had made the
allegations that Mr.. worley had run
away with Mrs. Schaffer. Mrs. Lime
mans daughter, and Mrs. Linneman
was compelled to take the witness
stand and testify to the. truth of her
daughters misconduct.
1t also develops that Mrs. Lime
mans granddaughter. Barbara. is the
young woman. who. as the stenographer
of William Novak of Gary, was dis
graced by him. Novak left Gary at
the time and has not been heard from
since. So Mrs. Linneman's heart was
at the point of breaking when she was
compelled to testify against her own
daughter in order to show what kind of
a man her husband was
The episode was the talk of the law
yers and witnesses who were in the
court at the time the oldlady tainted
There was general sympathy expressed
for her.
The trial Of this divorce case took up
part of yesterday and has continued
all day today. 1t is being bitterly con-
tested. 1t is said to be likely that Mrs
Worley will get her divorce.

IN
SOCIETY
GOING Up
A Remarkably Prosperous
Condition of Saengerbund
Fidelia Is Shown at Meet
ing Last Night, Where
Officers Are Elected.

Stock in the Saengerbund- -Fidelia to-
day is worth at least s125 share, or
20 per cent above par. This is the
very lowest estimate. many of the mem
bers holding it as high as % per cent
above par. These facts were brought
out at the annual general meeting
of the singing society last night, and
in view of the fact that the society is
only year old under its present or
ganization, this showing was a sur
prise to many members and was ac-
cepted by the others as a most re-
markable one. The basis for the val
uation is the increased value of the so
ciety's lot on Muenich court, this hav-
ing been bought for s3,47S, and as high
as $500 having been offered for it.
In addition to this the society has $500
of its own money invested in sixteen
shares of stock

He believed that the chancery court had no jurisdiction to issue the injunction and i'll this the unanimous decision Of the three supreme judges proves that he was right. But he never at any time by any public u,terance re- motely sugs ested the use of the militia, and the Times Record $ criticism is entirely uncalled for.

May Pipe Water to City.

Paragould, Aug. 6.-The city council will probably have to settle the question of piping water to the city from Burnett in the near future as the matter is being agitated. A sample of the water has just been subject to a chemical analysis in Kansas City and has been pro- nounced remarkably pure. The present water supply is entirely inadequate for the needs of the city, 1t is stated, and the certainty oi good water from the springs is a strong argument i'll its favor. Ii is thought that a pipe line will not cost much more than to put down a deep we'll.

COUNTY DEBT REDUCED
Expenses are Heavy, However,
 and Reduction is Small.
Faulkner County Owes $1,4oo.74 Less at End of Fiscal Year, Ths Twelve
 Months Before.

Although there was a heavy 1n- crease in the expenses of the coun- ty during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, the financial state ment printed in the last issue ot The Log Cabin Democrat shows net reduction in the county indebt- edness of SI 400 "A, the debt being S28, 789 r las, year, as compared with S27,382 43 when the lnan- cial statement for this year was made up.
 During the fiscal year the two federal judg ments agairst the coun,y, amounting 10 SS,o7o A. win interest and costs amounting to S5o8 l6, were con, erted into coun y scrip, resulting in an in- crease of he floating scrip from SEQ, 2Io 60 on June 30, 1908, to S27,3o2 43 The conversion of the judgments into scrip, of course, does not affect the coun.y debt, except that in previous fnan- cial statements the interest due on these judg was not included, and this interest was paid when the scrip was issued.
 The expenses of circuit court were more than 50 per cent larger than the preceding year, occasion ed by the trial of several murder cases The allowances for this purpose during the past year were S, 24S.62. against S4,o46.67 the preceding year. The cost of keep ing prisoners in jail was nearly tripled, while the expense of keep ing paupers was more than doub- led. The comparative allow ances for the various purposes dur ing the two years were as follows, the 1908 allowances being given first and the 1909 expenses second

AN UNwARRANTED ASSUMPTION.

Under the caption "A Military Dictator, the Fort Smith Times Record proceeds to lambast Gov ernor Donaghey in the following editorial:
 We regret to. note the contin- ued tone of defiance towards the courts of the state indulged in by Governor Donaghey.
 "He hinted yesterday to the Farmers Union, in convention as- sembled, of the use of the state militia to carry his purpose into effect with regard to the state cap itol. We are quite sure Gov. Don aghey had no such idea when he was making his campaign on the completion of the capitol.
 "Gov. Donaghey has met with so many obstacles that have meant to him disappointing delays that, we fear, his se'f-love has been hurt and his mental equlp0lse shaken
 "It is right for him, ot course, to maintain what he believes the right of the executive and of the commission within all legal limits but when he talks of ovHl ridlng, the courts by the use of the mill- tia power he is on very dangerous grounds.
 "rhe executive is the w en- forcing branch of the state govern ment, but the judiciary IS vested with supreme power to cons'fue the law and if the governor pro ceeds contrary to that construction he is nothing in the world but usurper and puts himself without the pale of the law. The militia arm of the state becomes then the instrument by which he must be restrained and not the mears by which he can work his individual will contrary to the peace and dig nity of the state. !"
 The assumption of the lines Record that the stories it prints of the governors use of the militia are facts, is more unwalranted than would be the actual exercise of such power by the governor. The whole story of calling out the militia" originated in the fer tile brains of sensational news mongers of Little Rock, who, for lack of other "dope" to send out to country newspapers such as the Times Record, for whom they cor respond, have been filling them with such stuff. Governor Dona- ghey has never yet uttered word that could be by any fair in depreciation twisted into the mean ing that he intended to proceed

owing eighth grade graduates of coun-
try schools right to collect not TO exceed
$40 year from the district in which
they reside to be used in paying tuition
in any of the three nearest high schools
does not become operative this year.
The law does not take effect until Sept
ember and it provides that the par
ents of the pupils must notify the
school board on or before the fourth
Monday in June.
The attorney general holds that mas
much as the law does not take effect
until June 1909, can notices be served
on school boards and the money be col
lected.
