P, C. NICHOLS
IS HANGED

Little Rock, Feb. o.-Special.-
P. G.. Nichols, convicted of muir
der in the first degree, was hanged
at Marion this morning. Nichols
went to the gallows singing and
prayed for his enemies. Governor
Donaghey today received several
messages asking for a commuta
ton of the sentence, but declined
to interfere.
Numbering Edward Smith, a
youth fifteen years old, in boat
on the Mississippi river is the crime
for which Nichols was sentenced to
die. The killing occurred within
the jurisdiction of Crittenden coun-
ty September 1, 1908. The Smith
boy and his father, S. L. Smith,
were in one boat and Nichols was
in a gasoline launch. They quar-
relied and engaged in battle on
the river. In addition to killing
the boy Nichols seriously wounded
the father, but the latter lived 20
give damaging evidence against
his son S slayer at the trial. Nichols
gave up to officers in Memphis
Immediately after the killing and
returned to Arkansas without re-
QUESTION papers.

verified the many reports that he
is to become a candidate for con-
gress from the fifth congressional
district. So far, two others have
signifed their intentions of making
the race for congress from this dis
trict, O. c. Ludwig, the present
secretary of state, and H. M. Jaco-
way, formerly prosecuting attorney
in the fifth judicial district.
Mr.. Griffin, who is at the pres
ent working in the interests of the
Farmers Union warehouse depart
ment, states that the prospects for
this year are brighter than ever
for the farmers of Arkansas, for
they are going to stick by the de-
termination to cut down the cotton
acreage by increasing the food
crops. Speaking of the syndicates
undertaking to purchase lands for
systematic cotton raising in Arkan-
ass, Mr.. Griffin says agents have
been in the state for two years,
picking out the best lands for this
purpose and purchasing large tracts
wherever it is possible to do so.
He says this is the greatest evil
the farmer has to fight now.

Mr.. Pack and J. D. Collier are

Those advocating the law CLAIM
that it will save thousands of dol
lars a year for fencing. 1T is
much cheaper to fence the stock in
than to fence them out" they say.
1t is also urged that the stock law
will result in a great deal better
grade of stock being raised.

JOHN DUNAWAY
WAS POISONED
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

Through a mistake made in
compounding a cough mixture,
John Dunaway, Sr. former senator
from this district, was poisoned
late yesterday afternoon, and for
several hours his condition was
quite serious. He is reported bet
ter today, and it is thought that he
will recover.
Mr.. Dunaway had been taking
a cough medicine which he pre-
pared himself and which contain
ed one fourth cod liver oil. Need
ing some more Of the remedy he
went to the Nelson Drug Co. yes
terday and through an unfortunate
mistake was given croton oil in
stead of cod liver oil. The drug
was sold by r. D. Nelson, who
was staying in the store during the
temporary absence of c. H. Nelson.
The mistake was not discovered
until Mr.. Dunaway had taken a
dose of the mixture and had be-
come violently ILL., DR.. George
S. Brown was called to attend him
and found Mr.. Dunaway extremely
prostrated, but succeeded in rellev-
ing his condition.

GOVERNOR WOULD VETO ACT
Expresses Disfavor of Bill to
Continue Caldwell & Drake
In Construction of State Capitol-House,
However, Believed to Oppose
Measure.

Little Rock, Feb. o.-Special.-
IF the senate or house pass the
bills introduced this afternoon to
allow Caldwell & Drake to contin-
ue with the construction of the
new state capitol" said Governor
Donaghey Yesterday afternoon,
they will be going directly against
the will of the people and against
the platform of the Democratic
convention. Everyone voting for
me in the primaries knew he was
voting against Caldwell & Drake
and their continuing the construc-
ton of the state capitol. There is
a plank in the platform prepared
by the recent convention, calling
for the discharge of Caldwell q
Drake. I do not think the gener-
al assembly will go directly against
the wishes of the people"
Senator De Rossitt yesterday at
ternoon Introduced a bill in the
senate for the appropriation of
$3.50 900 for the continuance OF the
work on the capitol building, with
Caldwell and Drake as the contract
ors and George B. Rose, a promi-
nent Little Rock lawyer, as the
commissioner in place of w. B..
Alexander. An effort was made to
put it on second reading, but this
failed, and it was made a special
order of business for Thursday
morning. Senator Pindall siren
uous.y opposed the measure. A
similar bill was introduced in the
House by Hamilton of Polk, but
it met with no enthusiasm, as In
the senate, and went on the calen-
dar. The senate, it is said by
those who are in daily touch with
the body, will pass the bill with a
large majority, but it is expected
to die in the house. Should the
bill pass it would be Vetoed by
Governor Donaghey and it would
be impossible to get the two thirds
majority to pass 1t.

PLENTY OF WORK IS IN SIGHT
Fifth Week of General Assembly
to be a Busy One.
State Capitol Controversy Will be The
Center of Attention-Railroad
Legislation Up.

Little Rock, Feb. ESPECIAL. =
The fifth week of the general as
sembly opened this morning with
further indications that the pro-
crastination on the part of major
ity of the members is to continue
and the session is to be drawn out
for double length of time, or even
more. The house has apparently
stopped the speed in which it
burned the wind in the first four
weeks of the session and has be-
gun talking measures to death.
The senate is taking the most OF
the time in adjourning, remaining
in session a sufficient length of
time to lose no per diem.
In spite of all this, the present
week must necessarily be a very
busy one, in that the Caldwell &
Drake matter must in some way be
dealt with, and on this question
the hardest fight of the year is to
result. George w. Caldwell, the
head of the contracting firm which
erected the new state capitol, as
far as it has gone, is in the city, ar
irving yesterday. He is saving
all of his talking for an open meet
ing of the senate committee tonight
and there is strong probability
that Gov. Geo. w. Donaghey will be
present and something will then
be told. Friends of Gov. Dona-
ghey say he has not half disclosed
his hand, and that he will spring
a few more surprises before the
state is rid of the Caldwell &Drake
litigation.
r. w. McFarlane, one of the
commissioners of the capitol, and
whom Gov. Donaghey would dis
charge along with the architect
and contractors, is also here and
accuses Donaghey of personal
spite. The commission left the
most of its work to Commissioner
McFarlane and his attacks on Gov.
Donaghey during the campaign
were most bitter. He is expected
to make other charges against the
governor in the meeting tonight.
The railroad committees OF both
branches have their hands full
with proposed legislation, princi-
pally on the rate question. 1t is
thought the new two cent passen-
ger fare bill, which lessons the
penalty and the 2 q cent fare bill
will be reported back unfavorably.
The compulsory school bill will re-
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1901-1982, 1909-02-11

ceive favorable report from the
education committee, a uniform
text book bill will be submitted to
the same committee, and the Sc
gregation of school taxes will also
receive some action at the hands of
this committee.
One of the numerous state wide
prohibition bill is liable to be
brought forth in the house, with
several amendments chosen from
the good features of others. This
measure is insured of passage IN
the house by an overwhelming
majority. 1t will submit the state
wide proposition to the people in a
special election to be held some
time during the year. What the
sanate will do with this proposition
is a mere matter of conjecture, but
to those who watch the game close
ly, it seems as if a stumbling block
will be met here and a stiff fight
will have to be made to pull the
bill through.
Some time during the week the
house will work on the bill raising
the salaries of circuit and chancery
judges, and it is thought the house
will defeat the bill the senate
passed by such a close margin.

GIVEN
FINE OF $500

Little Rock, Feb. 8.-Special.-
Superintendent J. A. Pitcock was
fined $500 by Chancellor Marti-
neau this morning for contempt of
court in failing to obey the order
of the court in reference to the fnr-
nishing of convicts to the Arkansas
Brick and Manufacturing Co.
The withdrawal of the convicts
was done by order of the peniten-
tiary board, but the company
claims their ten year lease has not
been complied with and that they
are due the labor of 800 convicts
for about two years.
Supt. Pitcock has never been
served with legal notice OF the
court to restore the convicts to the
brick company, but the court this
morning held that legal notice
was unnecessary, the defendant S
knowledge of the injunction pro-
ceedings being all that was re-
quired. Pitcock, the court stated
had shown that he had this knowl-
edge by the fact that he had locked
himself within the penitentiary for
four days to escape the service OF
the summons.
Supt. Pitcock Immediately ap-
pealed the case to the supreme
court,

TO AUTHORIZE
LEVEE BONDS
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

Representative J. A. Batson has
introduced in the house a bill to
empower Levee District No. of
Faulkner county to issue bonds to
the amount of $40, 900 for the pur-
pose of constructing a new levee
along the Arkansas river in the
county. The new levee will begin
several miles below the present
levee and is considerably smaller
than that constructed by District
No. I, although it will protect
several thousand acres Of land from
overflow.

AS A NEIGHBOR SEES US
Impression of Perryville Editor After a
Visit to Conway.

We visited Conway on 10th ult.
and had the pleasure of meeting
many Of our old friends while in
the city. We visited the Office of
the Log Cabin Democrat and the
Arkansas Farmer and Tribune and
found them busy and enjoying a
year of prosperity. We visited
the State Normal, in charge of
Prof. Doyne. The school has an
attendance of over I2o students
from all parts of the state and
its future is very promising. The
students are making rapid pro-
gress with their studies and will
make their mark in the future his
tory of our state as teachers and in
business. Prof. Doyne is born
educator and is the right man in
the right place.
We visited the family OF Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Little, who are
boarding several students attend
ing the State Normal. They have
pretty home convenient to the
school. Misses Nova Blackwell,
Birdie Vance and Lena Gadd are
among the young ladies who board
with Mr.. and Mrs. Little and en-
JOY the comforts of real home life.
To them we return thanks for
courtesy extended while in the
city.
We also visited Central College,
where several of our young lady
students are quartered, Miss Liz
zie Elsberry OF Moab being among
them. The college is beautifully
located and is one of the best in
the state, being credit to the
Baptist church and the town of
Conway. Hendrix College, under
the management of the Methodist
church. is one of the best schools to
be found and deserves good support.
The town of Conway is growing
rapidly.-Perryville News.

STOCK LAW FINDS FAVOR
Petitions for County Law Being
Freely Signed.
Representative Batson to be Asked to In
troduce Measure Prohibiting Stock
Running at Large.
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.


Much to the surprise of even
the friends of the measure, the
proposition for stock law embrac-
ing the entire county is said to
be meeting with almost unanimous
favor in every township where
a canvas is being made. The pro-
posed law had it's inception in
meeting held at Greenbrier about
two weeks ago and similar meet
ings were held in other townships
few days later. So general was
the opinion in favor of stock law
that it was resolved to circulate
petitions in each township and if
a majority was found to favor the
law that its passage be urged in the
legislature.
The canvass for signers to the
petition has so far been made in
only about six townships in the
northern and western part of the
county. William Pack, who is
one of the leaders in the movement,
is here today and stated that in
the townships canvassed from 10
to 90 per cent of of the voters had
signed the petition. ]. A. Mode,
who canvassed California township
informed him that more than 10
