NEW AMATEUR LEAGUE
AMATEUR ORGANIZATION MAY BE FORMED WITH CON-
 WAY A MEMBER.

The organization of an amateur league to include towns in central Ar kansas, which is being promoted by W. H. Ellis, baseball enthusiast of Argenta, will probably be completed within the next two weeks, according to an article in the Little Rock Ga zette. The league will have four clubs and there is probability that Conway will be a member. Local baseball enthusiasts have already as- sured MT. Ellis of a team from Con way, provided that only amateur players compose the teams from the different towns to be represented. Other towns who wish to join the league are Hot Springs, Benton Lo- noke and Argenta. Definite announce ment concerning the project are cH- 'pected to be made within the next two or three days.

county. He predicted that the city would have a population of at least 10000 within the next ten years. In order for this to be accomplished, however, he said it would be necessary for the surrounding country to be built up and developed in like pro- portion, and as one of the means te accomplish this end, he urged the raising of better quality of live stock. He said the cost of raising good stock was no greater than of raising scrubs and razor-backs, and all that was needed was the importa- tion of a few high grade breeding an- imals. Capt. w. w. Martin voiced his approval of this movement and it was agreed to meet at the Board of Trade rooms next Monday night, April IS, at 7:30 o'clock for the pur- pose of organizing stock company for this purpose.
 4 delightful feature of the smoker was some splendid music furnished by the German band, whose appearance was a pleasant surprise to the guests. A nice luncheon was served by the Layman hotel.

COUNTY FAIR GIVEN
 BOOST AT SMOKER
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
PLEASANT AND PROFITABLE MEETING IS HELD BY
 BOARD OF TRADE.

Nearly 100 hundred business men of this city and farmers living near Conway met at the w. O. w. hall last night and listened to some good talks on the county fair and stock growing and enjoyed the hospitality of the Conway Board of Trade.
 President Jo Frauenthal presided over the smoker. The principal ad- dress was delivered by Prof. George A. Cole, president of the state Far mers Union, the state fair associa- tion and the Arkansas Land Con- gress. President Coles speech was most interesting one. He discussed the great movement for scientific az riculture, and showed how the Far mers' Union, the agricultural experi- ment work of the state university, the demonstration farm work by the United States government, the coun- ty and state fair movement and the recent land congress were all work ing together for the development of the agricultural interests of the state. He quoted Dr. s. A. Knapp, head of the southern work in the United States department of Agriculture as saying that Arkansas had moved up from last to first place in the applca- tion of scientific principles to farming within the past four years. To illus trate his points, President Cole a number of humorous anecdotes and he was given the closest attention througout his hours speech.
 As one of the objects of the smoker was to boost the Faulkner county fair, Frank E. Robins, the former secretary, read a brief statement showing that the associations pro- fits last year were equal to a dividend paid in, and this in the face of inex- perienced management, the drouth and other unfavorable conditions The association, however, had been forced to eXpend about S750 more than the paid in capital stock for buildings and permanent Improvements on the grounds, which left deficit of about S400. The association is now making an effort to sell about $1,000 addition al capital stock to pay off this in debtedness, to erect new buildings and to make other improvements.
 President Stonewall Anderson was then introduced and made a short talk urging the subscription of suf- ficient stock to meet the needs of the association. At the conclusion of his address, cards were passed among the crowd and over $400 worth of stock was subscribed, while a number of those present stated they would hand in their subscription later.
 Senator-elect A. C. Martin made a short but enthusiastic address on the future of Conway and Faulkner

There has been lively trading in
hogshead tobacco on the local mar
ket this week, the sales amounting
to about 450 hogsheads. Prices have
been most satisfactory, some of the
weed bringing $15 per hundred,
while several hogsheads sold at S14
per hundred pounds. Among the
buyers here this week was Mr.. R. J.
Whaling, representing E. j. O'Brien
& Co., French contractors, whose
purchase amounted to about 250
hogsheads. The sales this week also
included some Bremen tobacco. The
following quotations fairly repre-
sent the bpcal market;
Common lugs, S. to $3.50; me-
dium lugs, 81 so to $500; good lugs,
$500 to $500; low leaf, $3.50 to $9.-
so; common leaf, $3.50 to $1O.5O;
medium leaf, S10.50 to $1,000; good
leaf, Sl3 w to Sl5.
With favorable conditions for
handling, the market is expected to
become still more active, as the con-
dition of the weed can better be told
after the warm weather sets in.
On account of the dry weather
which has prevailed for several
weeks the delivery of loose tobacco
has been practically shut down,
hence very little of it has been dis
posed of on the loose floor during
the past several days.
The bill to repeal the tax on leaf
tobacco in the hand is dead. Serene
Payne notified Congressman Thomas,
Of the Third Kentucky district, that
the matter had been threshed out
during the tariff revision last year.
This measure was one that was in
troduced by Congressman Thomas
permitting farmers and tobacco
growers to twist tobacco grown by
themselves and to sell it in the twist.
This measure has no reference to

abandoned the task after several
hours woriI ana decided to refer the
matter to the Attorney General.
The board met Friday to ascertain
the States rights with regard 10 null

ed sufficient number Of reports Of
the supreme Court Of Appeals to keep
It valid. According to the terms Of

FATHER HAS ALL
GUARDIAN RIGHTS
Suf'ragettes Discuss This and
Other Topics at Special
Meeting.

That the mother has practically no
guardian rights over her own child
under the laws OF Virginia was one Of
the points which Mrs, y, Il. Valentine.
president of the Equal Suffrage League
Of Virginia, made clear to members of
the league Friday night In the course
of discussion OF matters pertaining
10 the interest of the league.
After explaining that she had u talk
with City Attorney Pollard during the
day, Mrs. Valentine went on to say
thal the guardianship If the child lay
almost entirely with the father. and 1t
was largely within his power to have
some one other than the mother named
as guardian, If he 50 wished.
"On the other hand said Mrs. VAL
entine. 1T is exceedingly difficult for
the mother, in many instances, 10 OBJ
tain possession OF her child from the
father, however unit aS a lawful guar
dian he may be"
TilIman Case Recited,
Mrs Valentine then cited the case OF
Senator Tiliman's son. who succeeded
in retaining possession OF his two chill
dren when sued by his wife for divorce
and it was not until the case was
taken 10 Uncle Sans highest tribunal
thnt tho mother finally got possession
OF her little ones.
Ii was the unanimous sentiment OF
those present that the time was never
ripper for vigorous campaign for
names To monster petition which Wall
he presented to the next Legislature
asking State wide suffrage for women.
Each member of the leagl. II was
agreed, should be always armed with
a petition during the summer, whether
at home or away, and should endeayor
to sign up every one within reach
The Legislature with be asked 10 amend
the Constitution so that the question
nf equal ballot may be submitted TO
the electorate of the State at the ear
Hest date possible, Mrs. Valentine
stated that the question Of procuring
municipal suffrage first had been con-
sidered. but as this kind of suffrage
was exceedingly limited II was deemed
best TO seek state wide privileges.
Reports Exaggerated.
Mrs A. Nj. Tyler read report on
the recent convention in Washington
and Miss Mary Johnston recited sew
eral personal recollections and impress
sions of the national meeting, touch
ing incidentally upon the Taft alleged
kissing episode. Like other suifra-
gettes who have expressed themselves
on this subject. Miss Johnston con-
tended that the reports Of the incident
had been grossly exaggerated
There was some talk Of proclatmlng
the cause of woman suffrage In Viz
glnia at county fairs and conrtnouses
throughout the state This suggestion

great degree of favor Most OF the
women seemed to think that gradual
campaign of organization and educa-
ton was the best mode of procedure
for the present.
Study During Summer.

posed making close study of the
theory OF American government dur
ing the summer months. IN order TO
