CENTRAL BOARD
IN SESSION HERE

The members of the Central College
board of trustees are here for sessions
tonight and tomorrow morning. The
meeting now being held is the regular
annual session, and reports from the
president and business manager re-
garding the general work of the in
stitution are being heard. At the re-
cent session of the Arkansas Baptist
state convention at Arkadelphia col
lection was taken for Ouachita and
Central colleges, which, when the
amounts are paid in, will entirely lift
the Indebtedness from these institu-
tions.
As soon as the debt now resting
upon the colleges is lifted it is expect
ed that somewhat extensive improve
ments will be made, and that the col
lege will be materially strengthened.
These matters will be discussed by the
board at its present session, though it
is not expected that anything definite
will be done inside of the next II
months.
The exercises in the college audi
torium tonight will be open to the
public. After the musical program
there will be brief addresses by mem
bers of the College Board, and these
will be followed by an informal recep-
tion in the college parlors. The mem
bers of the board who will be present
are Rev Ben Cox, Rev. r. G. Bowers,
and Rev E. J. A. Mckinney of Lit
tie Rock, Rev. S. f. Tull of Pine Bluff,
Rev. Arthur Fox of Marianna Rev.
f. P. J. CARROT of Batesville, Rev. F.
F. Gibson of Fort Smith, and possibly
others. A meeting of the state CAPT
tol commission this afternoon prevents
the attendance of Governor Donaghey.

WILL IT PAY?

Announcement has been made of
the fact that Mr.. Evans, state demon
stration farm agent, will lecture in
this city December 9, and we learn
from press report that the govern
ment is now proposing to pay $500
toward the employment of a county
demonstration agent in each county
in the state that will supply the rest
of the money to pay the agents sal
ary, the salary of the agent amount
| ing to about $1,000 per year.
1t is sincerely hoped that repre-
sentative from every business firm in
the city will be present when Mr..
Evans lectures next Thursday, and if
such a proposition is made to Pope
county farmers, that the business men
of Russellville will be ready to give it
encouragement. And by encourage
ment we mean that the business men
should undertake to raise the amount
of money needed This is the way it
is done in most places, and it is what
will be expected here.
You may say, This is matter for
the farmers to take up. Where do
come in?'
In answer we will say, last year the
board of trade at Conway raised ST.
900 to place a demonstration agent in
Faulkner county, without any aid at
all from the government, being the
first agent in the state to devote his
entire time to a single county. Busi-
ness men in Conway estimate that the
products of the farms in the county
was increased at least 100000 as a
result of the instructions received
from the agent, and naturally the
most of this 100000 found its way to
Conway, the trade center of the coun-
| ty.
Did it pay the merchants of Con-
way?
Is there any other investment of
$500 that the business men of Rus
sellville could make that would bring
them 100000 in trade?
This is a matter in which both mer-
chants and farmers are interested
and we hope to see a good representa-
ton of each present next Thursday.
Nine counties in the state have al
ready arranged for demonstration
agents for next year, and Mr.. Evans
estimates that 40 will have accepted
the proposition before planting time.

ELLIS JURY Is TIED Up
COURT, HOWEVER, SENDS 1T
BACK TO DELIBERATE AN
OTHER DAY.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
Little Rock, Dec. 6.-The Ellis jury
came into the circuit court room this
morning and through its foreman in
formed the court that there was no
indication that it could ever reach an
agreement. Judge Lea, however, again
read the instructions to the jury, and
telling the members that the trial was
too costly to be gone through with
again, sent them back for another
days deliberation. Rumor has it that
the jury stands ten to two for acquit-
tai.
For those who are intensely inter
ested in the outcome of the trial, Sun
day was a long, tedious day. The jury
was locked up all morning, but took a
walk in the afternoon and retired
again at night, the relatives of Ellis
and his friends being forced to stay on
the outside and hopelessly wait for

MANY MExlCANS DIE.

Reports of vital statistics received
at the state health department indi-
cate a rather remarkable condition
at FL Paso. Out of 151 deaths re-
ported for last month all but 28 were
Mexicans.
The Mexicans constitute about
one-third of the population of Fl
Paso, yet their death rate is approXi-
mately four times greater than thar
of the white people.
The large percentage of mortality
among the Mexicans, however, is at
.ributed to the death of children. tie

something which looked like verdict.
It was reported the jury stood ten to
two for acquittal from the first ballot,
and this report was accepted as fact,
though no one could be found who
knew why he jury was not bringing
in verdict. 1t was also reported dur
ing the day that several of the men
on the jury being farmers, could not
get home Sunday should they agre
on a verdict, so had determined to tie
up the body for another day, getting
bed, three meals and an extra days
at court.

OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER.

1t is again rumored that Jno. H.
Hinemon will enter the race for gov
ernor in opposition to Donaghey for a
second term. Personally, we are a
great admirer of Prof. Hinemon, and
believe he is man of too much judg-
ment and common sense to enter the
gubernatorial race at this time. If he
should do so, however, there can be no
hope for his election, and after it is
over it will doubtless be said, at is
rumored that Jno. H. Hinemon made
the race for governor. .'-Russellville

STATE OFFICIALS
BACK OPPOSITION
TWO WANT OFFICE AGAIN
AND WOULD TIE DONAGHEY'S
HANDS BY GETTING OUT
OPPONENT.

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-Outside of a
few who do not know Arkansas poll
tics, and few who do but who are
acting from a selfish motive, there can
be found no one who will say C. c.
Kavanaugh or John H. Hinemon will
have even a look-in for governor,
should they decide to get in the race.
Should either. make the race the bet
ting would be that Donaghey would
carry the state with six votes to one
for the opponent. 1t is a mystery to
the people of this section what reason
either candidate could give if he got
into the race, for asking for votes.
Only a few are encouraging Prof.
Hinemon in his alleged intended can
didacy One of these is Rev. Tom
Amis, the Hot Springs reformer who
in an interview in Little Rock paper
several weeks ago stated it would be
a mistake for the prohibition party to
pat out a candidate, as the leaders
We're satisfied with Donaghey. An
other is j. NJ Wells of Little Rock,
who operates a loan Office in this city,
and has been referred to in number
of suits in chancery court as loan
shark"
C. C. Kavanaugh is considered be
a prince among good fellows in Lit
lie Rock. He served two terms as sher-
itf and voluntarily retired in order to
allow his chief deputy, B. L. Roberts,
to he promoted to the office. He is
known to the county officials over the
state, hut these could not elect him
gn, elnor. His friends say he is ambi-
ticus and though none of them would
claim success for him if he made the
race, they say he would be better ac-
quainteG to try it next time. Other
friends are endeavoring to convince
him he would be handicapped by his
defeat in a second attempt for the
office, and it would be better for him
to hold off until two years hence and
then make an effort for the place.
In the meantime Governor Don
aghey keeps right on declining to is
sue pardons which will be for the per
sonal gain of politicians, and every
mail brings letters from all over the
state assuring him he will carry the
county of the writer. There have been
letters in the past few days coming
from Clark county, assuring Governor
Donaghey that should Hinemon run,
Donaghey will carry that, the home
county of Prof. Hinemon.
To those who watch the political
game closely it appears as though the
opposition to Governor Donaghey is
being created by two state officehold-
ers who are attempting to slip into
office again by drawing attention from
themselves and their records. One of
these is a candidate for a district
office to which close friend of Gov
ernor Donaghey aspires. If this man
can get opposition to Governor DON
aghey it is alleged that he figures it
will force Governor Donaghey to get
so busy with his own race that he can

GRIFFIN OPENS CAMPAIGN.

Clarksville, Dec. 6-In a whirlwind
of oratory the congressional campaign
for the Fifth district opened here today
with all the Democratic candidates for
the nomination present. They are Ben
L. Griffin, O. C. Ludwig, now secretary
of state, and II. M. Jacoway.
Mr.. Griffin denies that he is de-
pending chiefly upon the farmer votes
of the state, saying that he expects to
have the support of the business ele-
ment as well.
