GOOD ROADS IN ARKANSAS.
General Superintendent of the Iron
 Mountain Railway Writes Letter.

In a letter to the secretary of the Good Roads Association, having been appointed a member of the executive committee, Colonel M. M. Richey, gen eral superintendent of the Iron Noun tain railroad, writes letter which will be read with great pleasure by all who are interested in the development of Arkansas:
 "Will say, however, that the possi- bility for good roads in Arkansas is fine, and the only suggestion we have to make is, when making the roads they should give more attention to drainage than they evidently have done in the past. This is one of the most important things to maintain the roads in good condition after they are built, and should receive close attention when roads are repaired.
 As to drainage, when it applies to small drains left after the main channels are cut, I know of nothing that is more effective than good drain tile, varying the size as the volume of water war rants. Our company, after struggling for years with the roadbed with what is known as the 'gumbo' soil, are get ting very satisfactory results since they adopted the use Of the drain tile. At intervals they are placed at right angles under the track at the bottom of the sub-grade and in the borrow pits or side ditches, and this method of drain age has given very good results. At any time 1 can be of help I want you to feel free to command me, as am in terested in seeing Arkansas progress; also l know from past experience there is nothing that will devlop a commu- nity quicker than good roads"

YEAR FOR KILLING scHooLMATE
Boy fingered Because Companion Could
 Not Answer Question.

Lonoke.-Edgar Cartwright, the IA year-old school boy who killed Leland Stanley at Green school house, near Butlerville, on January II, was tried in the circuit court here on a charge of manslaughter, convicted and his punish ment fixed at one year in the peniten- tiary.
 According to the testimony, the kill ing arose over a quarrel that resulted because young Cartwright was not able to inform Stanley as to the name of the capital of certain state. Cartwright was sitting in front of Stanley and was asked by Stanley to give the name of a states capital. He told Stanley he did not know and Stanley, is is alleged, said:
 You freckeled-faced -, it time you were learning something."
 Young Cartwright grabbed a piece of wood that was being used as a stove poker and struck Stanley over the head with it, breaking his skull in three places. Stanley died within few hours.
 Cartwright will not be 15 years old for several months, and the attorneys defending him urged that his youth should be taken into consideration.

EDUCATIONAL MEETING OUTLOOK
Department Receives Many Letters Fa-
 vorable to Project.

From letters received at the office of Superintendent Cook of the department of education, the conference for educa- tion in the south bids fair to prove one of the best patronized conventions brought to Little Rock in many years. Every mail brings gratifying responses to the letters recently sent out by Su- perintendent Cook, in which the teach CTS and friends of education were mo- tifed personally of the near approach of the convention and urged to get in line to attend.
 The thing that universally appeals is the fact that the conference is as much for the business man as for the teacher, and the committee back of the conference is not composed of teachers alone, but of business men who have a hearty interest in educational progress in the south
 The conference dases are April 6, ' and s, and from the present outlook the attendance will probably reach 2,oo0. The sessions will be held at the Capital theater

Eve and then onto God himself Az
ter paying his respects to the first
parents in the garden of Eden, Mr.
Graves skipped countless generations
and came down to the woman of to-
day.
In prefacing his remarks, he stated
that he did not propose to class the
woman who wears her dresses abre-
waited at the top and the bottom to
point of immodesty, If not indecency
with the real woman of today. Nor was
the woman wA1kis harsh and mascu-
line, harsh and heartless. and who

but beginning back with the old fash
ioned girl, who was the mother of the
woman of today, he treated the real
woman of the 20th century. the wo-
man who is doing things and in do
ing them Is winning for herself and
her sisters the place in the world to
which they are entitled. The woman
who Is loving and lovable, the wo-
man who tolls earnestly and keeps
God in her home and her husband in
her heat.
Mr.. Graves declared that this wo-
man, who Is the coming woman, will
not fail, she has come to stay and
she is the problem of the ages. In the
past she has been crowning the stern
er sex for endeavor for victories, but
now she has on the armor and is in
the thickest of the fight. She has
fought her way to the trades and the
professions and the cry is Room for

In speaking of the things which she
has accomplished, Mr.. Graves recited
that she has already established her
self in the schools and colleges and in
doing this she has demonstrated that
her brain is equal to that of man and
that the old fallacy that intelligence
can be measured by the weight of the
brain has been exploded. She has
plucked the laurels from the great
university, nor lost one leaf from the
crown and in doing so has driven pre-
judice to the winds.
She has won the right to make O
living for herself. This she has done
because there are not enough men tc

Her entertainment was great treat,
as was shown by the enthusiasm of
her hearers.
History's greatest fascination lies
In the portrayal of its wars, those bat
ties that decide the crisis of a nation
and thrill the hearts of patriotism
with the story of bravery and sacri-
flee. We have access to histories,
from which weacquire the knowledge
of that terrible war that saved and
lost a nation" but seldom do we have
the opportunity of listening to the
words of one, who lived in the midst
and witnessed many of its battles.
Saturday evening at the Chautauqua,
Mrs. LaSalle Corbett Pickett, known
as "the child wife OF the Confeder-
acy," the wife of General Pickett who
made that daring charge with only
5000 picked men, on the last day of
the battle of Gettysburg, described
that terrible battle, interspersing her
description with the personal con-
versations of many Of the great lead
ers and brave men, who took part in
it's bloody and awful strife.

Mrs. Pickett told the story of those
