PRESCOTT'S BID

Little Rock, April 8.-Af fter the az agricultural school board of the Third district hhad yesterday accepted the proposition of Magnolia to locate the school there, some dissatisfaction was expressed by prominent people of the state, saying with a school at Marian ma and one at Magnolia there were two schools in 75 miles of each other and in soils much smaller, while the hllly section of the state did not have a school. The members of the board state this objection is not well taken, as the soil at Magnolia is similar to that of Mena, and thi sis the first state institution ever going to south Arkansas. The members of the board state they have visited every site of fered and believe that at Magnolia to be the best
 Just before the award was made Prescott telephoned asking to have the decision deferred and that town would come in with an offer above all others. The board declined to enter tain the proposition, saying it would not be fair to the others. Magnolia gives 320 acres and $35, ,OOO. Hope offered $26,000 and any site, no mat ter what the acreage, the board might select. This was the. offer which came near getting the school, getting two out of five votes on the last bal lot.

SAYS GRAND JURY
 WILL IGNORE CASE

J. A. Erwin returned last night from Fort Smith, where he went to answer charges of obtaining goods under false pretenses preferred by a Fort Smith furniture firm. Mir. Er- win states that there will be no furth- CT prosecution of the case against him, as he was informed by a member of the grand jury that the charges against him would be ignored by that body. An examining trial was set before a Fort Smith magistrate, but MT. Erwin says the case was trans ferred to the grand jury without in- vestigation by the lower court.
 The prosecuting witnesses charge that Erwin bought furniture from them about two years ago on the rep resentation that he was a member of the firm of Favre X Herbert of Con. way. Mr. Erwin claims that he was actually a member of the firm at the time, and as one of his proofs he cited advertisements appearing in local pa pers which were signed "Favre, Her bert & Erwin

servations. In the early part of l March it was still visible near the horizon shortly after sunset, but it's changed position brought 1t too far in to the twilight. At present it is passing behind the sun, and will be in inferior conjunction on March "A. About April we may begin looking for it as naked-eye object in the morning twilight From the time of it's appearance it will gradually be- come brighter and larger until it passes between the earth and the sun on May IS. It will be nearest the sun in actual distance (perihel- ion) about April 20, and at it's most favorable location for observation in the morning sky about May 1 and thereafter. At this time it will be at a maximum angular distance west of the sun and appear about two hours and 40 minutes before sunrise. It will probably stand out as beautiful object with it's head downward and its tail stretching far into the sky.
 On May IS the earth will dash through the outer fringe of the com cts tail, and in the same act the com ct will change it's position to the ev- | cilHS Shy. we lllcly WlllItoS q PiCIl- did display of shooting stars and au- roral phenomena at this time, al though it is also probable that noth- ing unusual will happen. It will re- main a conspicuous object in the ev
 cning sky for some months, standing out eorgeousiy against the Armament with it's head low and it's tail point ing eastward. From day to day it will shift higher, and by May 30 it will reach an altitude of about 75 de- grees with the horizon at sunset.
 There is much speculation with re- gard to it's probable brightness and splendor with the result that many astronomers think it will outrival any comet they have ever seen, while oth- CTS fear it will be a disappointment. It is quite certain that it will come about as near to the earth as comets ever have within the last few centur- ies While this will tend to make it appear unusually large, it is also true that it will then be visible in twilight which will deprive it of much of it's brightness and beauty. There is not much doubt that it will be a grand object and will create much excite ment. Expectations and ignorant peo- pie will turn toward the heavens with fearing hearts and wonder if the fam ing sword has come to their destruc- tion. Then it will gradually grow smaller and finally disappear to the uttermost parts of the solar system, there to mysteriously circle around and return in time to teach later generation the wonderful comet les son.

stated that we believed he had an ann
 bition to be governor simply from the
 fact that he thought there was a
 great work for the state which he could accomplish only by being gover-
 nor. and that if elected his ambition
 then would be to accomplish this work
 and be the best governor Arkansas
 had ever had. And if he has sue
 ceeded in this, as many are prone to
 believe. we believe his ambition now
 will be to make a better governor the coming two years than he has the past.
 But as to his senatorial ambition, if he wants to go to the senate he will find plenty of men who want to see him go there when he sees lit to make known his intentions. Senator Davis has virtually invited the oppo- sition. After stumping the state against Donaghey two years ago and pulling his candidate down into ig nominous defeat, his friends hoped that he would heed the lesson of the campaign of 1908 and not again med de in state politics. This hope was futile, however, and the part that he to play in the present cam paign under cover has by no means the Davis fences in the state. We were loath to believe the reports of Davis activity in the pres ent campaign, and so stated editorial y last week, but there is no longer any doubt as to the truthfulness of he reports, and we repeat that his attempt to knife Governor Donaghey lnder cover of darkness has in no wise strengthened the gaps and weak places in the Davis fence.-Russell- ! lille Courier Democrat.

CONNECTS BEGIN
 PLANTING COTTON

Little Rock, April 8.-Superintend- ent Pitcock this morning received word from the state farm that work on the cotton crop had begun and the seed was> being put in the ground at the rate of 20 acres a day. The rain Monday night fell in such torrents at the farm it cut the planters out of the fields until today Only 300 acres had been planted before the rain fell and it will take the balance of the month to get the balance of the crop all in. The difference in the planting time makes some cotton mature ear Her than the other, and thus gives the state chance to get it picked as fast as the bolls open, and lose none of the crop

DONAGHEY AND THE SENATE

Already some papers over the state and personal friends of Governor
 Donaghey are mentioning him as a
 logical candidate for the uinted
 States senate, and the only man who can defeat Senator Jeff Davis at the expiration of his present term. We don't know what Mir. Donaghey's in- tentions in the matter are, but doubt very seriously if he has ever enter tained such an idea. He has been too busy looking after the interests or the state as her chief executive to devote much time to the building ot future political fences, and we believe these suggestions are not only prema- ture, but an injustice to Governor Donaghey as well, though coming from well-meaning friends. The splendid endorsement he received Tn the primaries last week would be the greatest encouragement if he really
 has further political aspirations, put even in this event, we believe Cover nor Donaghey will go right along at- tending to his job as governor uncil the time is little nearer at hand for the senatorial election. During MT. Donaghey's first campaign we

CONFICTS ON THE ROADS.

After six months experience Pulas- Ri county has found that convict labol may be applied to public roads with a great degree of success. For the three months ending April 1, 1910-months during which road work is most eX- pensive-an average of 62 convicts was maintained in the camp, and they cost the county only 62.6S cents each daily, for maintenance. This average of cost includes each convict's share of wardens' salaries and the cost of maintaining IS head of stock at the camp.
 This is less than half the cost of hired labor and it is capable of per forming even better work. But the states convicts should be building state roads, instead of county roads With larger bodies of men, the cost of maintenance will be even less thar it has been in Pulaski county. If the penitentiary farm is properly man aged, one-half the convicts, or about 500, ought to be able to support by their work on the farm an equal mum Der at work on the public roads.
 By all means, however, let the state disregarding local interests. builc trunk roads, extending across it's bor- ders; build them according to well de fined plans and under scientific su pervisiOn.

MATERIAL EDUCATION.

over III A kdiiSclS IOdSlN 'ii~iN A' 'N ing held a convention fraught with tremendous interest to this people.
 Some of the greatest authorities in this country on education are Tn Little Rock to discuss the teaching of the science of agriculture.
 It is a far cry from the old teach how many units of fertility there are in red soil as against black soil, and whether ten pounds of rice will yield more human energy than ten pounds of wheat.
 But the educators are there. It has been a long road. We have finally gotten away from the realm of only speculative questions into the mate rial things at hand. The problems of cheap living and good living are supreme this day.
 It matters little to Tenenssee whether the supreme judges bolt or do not bolt, or whether Donaghey re- appoints Remmel or fires Remmel, or whether a woman tempted Missls- sppi legislator, or whether he stood before her charms as cold as an ici- ce.
 The supreme question before us in these states in this day 1910 is, can we grow sixty bushels of corn on an acre of land where once we grew thirty?
 We can. Then the ways and means thirty bushels is one of education. And the same that is true of an acre of corn is true of an acre of alfalfa, an acre of cotton, an acre of cowpeas or beans.
 The world is running out of food. Heretofore we have secured our food supply with the tools of the barbar- ian. The result is that one universal bad season would bring starvation.
 We have come to the conclusion all of us-that we have neglected the main point of education. We have failed to educate him fully who is at the initial point of production. We have the educated lawyer, the educat- ed physician, the educated engineer, the trained electrician, but not until this generation have we looked down at the earth under our feet and realiz- ed that education in the ways of the soil has been neglected.
 The department of agriculture of the United States government has re- solved to grow two blades of grasses where one used to grow, and to make knowledge and education are neces- ssary. And to impress this fact upon the people of the south and upon the people of the whole country is the reason of this conference on educa- tion in Little Rock.
 These educators are doing great work, and the people had best heed their preachings, because if things are not changed in this generation, the next generation will be in the throes of a worldwide famine
 We must have brains behind the blow and brains behind the hands that grab the hen who has lost the in- stinct of motherhood and refuses to sit on her eggs. Brains on the farm and scientific agriculture will make this country the richest and the most prosperous on the face of the earth.
 The Commercial Appeal salutes the educators in conference at Little Rock and hopes that their sojourn m 'that beautiful city will be pleasant, profitable and instructive, not only to the people of Arkansas, but to the people of this entire country.-Com- mercial Appeal.
