10 PROMOTE TRUCK GROWING.

Washington, March 1.-The Wash ington Fruit and Truck Growers As sociation is urging upon it's members the advisability of engaging more ex- tensively in the growing of truck, es- pecially Irish potatoes.
 This movement the growers believe to be necessary on account of the oc- casional failure ofthe fruit crop, at whichtime the farmers are total los CTS. With a liberal truck crop each year the farmers are assured of one crop.
 The matter of engaging in the rais- ing of broom corn was also discussed but no definite action was taken Broom corn is bringing a higher mar ket price now than ever in history.

Hot Springs, March 1.-Superin- tendent Myers of the Hot Springs res ervation has announced that after to- day no more free bath tickets can be issued by the bath houses of Hot Springs.
 Heretofore the proprietors of each establishment have been privileged to give away tickets amounting to five per cent of their paid patronage to parties whom they deemed entitled to them. The abuse of this privilege is given as the reason for the new rule. Now only the proprietors and the members of his family will be privileged to bath free of charge at any of the bath houses.

DESERTED HUSBAND
 ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
INJURED MAN, HOWEVER, SAYS ANOTHER PERSON
 SHOT HIM.

Eudora, Feb. 2S.-Despondent be- cause he had been estranged from his bride, Ambrose Lea, young man liv- ing in this city, last night attempted to commit suicide by firing bullet into his breast He chose the front yard of his father-in-law's home, where his wife is living, for the scene of his attempt on his life.
 Early last fall Lea and Miss Net tie Gilmore stole away to kilbourne, La, and were married. The bride was too young to obtain a license at her home town and her parents had se- rious objections, it is said, to the un- ion.
 The parental objections were over come after the marriage and the young couple returned here to live. Differences arose soon, however, and late in December the bride went back to her parents. The young husband brooded considerably over his troubles and it is said became very despondent.
 Last night he went into the tele- phone exchange and procured a re- volver from the managers desk. Then he went to church. After the services the young man walked to the home of William Gilmore, his fatherin-law and, standing in the front yard, shot himself in the left breast The bullet struck a rib and fractured it and ther coursed to one side, lodging in Lea'S back. It was located there later by surgeons and extracted.
 Members of the Gilmore family found the young man in the yaro with the revolver by his side. This afternoon a brother of Lea's widow took the would-be suicide to Conway where it is said that his condition is critical.

GOVERNOR WINS
 VOTES IN HOWARD

Little Rock, March 1.-Reports re- ceived from Center Point last night say Governor Donaghey captured two more audiences yesterday, at Nash vile and Center Point, and made Howard county solid for him. Gov ernor Donaghey, from the reports, simply told the people of that section what he has done since taking the reins of office, and such a good ac- count of the stewardship is given that the people are with him.
 Those who think Governor Dona- ghey cannot deliver a speech are bad ly fooled when he gets warmed up to his subject. c. c. Kavanaugh can testify to this, for he has stood be- fore the buzz-saw and had to take the edges of the many sharp points, Many people called atthe office ofthe gov ernor yesterday and requested that his itinerary for the coming week take in their towns, but as he has to devote some time to his office, and the opposition is so weak, and losing ground daily, that it is not necessary that he get out so very much. He could stay in his office and win the race by top-heavy vote, but he sim ply wants to make the victory all tho more one-sided.

possible, which he though would full ly justify his every action in the mat ter.
 Rev. Ford stated that he was mis- quoted in Conway dispatch publish ed in the Little Rock Gazette Sun day morning and has written the fol lowing communication in regard to the matter:
 Conway, Ark, March 1, 1910. EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:
 q see a statement in Sundays Ga zette which I understand was gwen out by you that is a misrepresenta- tion of what I said to you, and IS therefore misleading in it's tendency, and does myself and also the editor of the Searcy News an injustice. In this note you make the statement that stated to you positively that l was not a candidate for state senator, and would not be, only under cerain con- diions.
 "Now, as a matter of fact, the statement I made to you was: that, rrv anlouncen Apt was conditional, and that the editor of the Searcy News fully understood those condi- tions, and that the probable reason that the Ne10s gave out my announce ment unqualifiedly, was because of the fact that I did not wish to make the conditions back of my announcement public at that time. From your write up of what I said any one would nat urally infer that the Searcy editor was positively unauthorized in mak- ing my announcement. While the facts are the said editor was authorlz- ed by me to make the announcement under the conditions, the nature of which I reserved the right to make public at the proper time.
 "As to the heading of said article in Sundays Gazette, every word of 1t was misleading, and positively un- authorized by me.
 Feeling that you do not wish to put me in an improper light before the people, I respectfully ask you to give this statement place in your paper. Very respectfully yours,

ENDOWMENT FOR
 HENDRIX ASSURED
CONDITION OF GIFT MET
STUDENTS HOLD GREAT RAIL LY-DEBT OF COLLEGE
 TO BE PAID OFF.

Definite announcement was made today that the endowment of Hendrix college now exceeds $225, 1000, meeting the condition required on March l by the General Education Board of New York for an additional gift of $75,- 900, making total of over $300,000. Another condition, that of clearing the indebtedness of the college, remains vet to be met, but the institution is allowed 90 days additional time to meet this condition, and pr. James | Thomas. commissioner of education for Hendrix, states that he is confi- dent this will be secured.
 When it became known last night at midnight that the endowment cam paign had ended in success, Hendrix students paraded the streets and aroused the city with vociferous yells. President Anderson informed the stu dents early last night that only $2,0O0 was needed to guarantee the endow- ment Well raise it for you!" shouted some of the enthusiastic stu dents, and the boys, gathering in a mass meeting at Tabor hall at 10:3O o'clock last night, they proceeded to make good. At the conclusion of an hours session, at which speeches were made by number of students, signed notes to the amount of $2,10O were turned into the committee, and stu dents, professors and members of the committee went almost wild with en- thusiasm.
 To commemorate the event hol- iday was given at the college today, after the students had assembled at the chapel at o'clock this morn ing and listened to a stirring address by Dr. James Thomas, who has been the leader in the endowment cam paign.
 A telegram was sent early this morning to pr. Wallace Buttrick, sec retary of the General Education Board, announcing that Hendrix had complied with the first condition of the big gift An immediate campaign will be begun to wipe out the indebt edness and by June 1 the friends of the college believe that Hendrix will be then on firm financial basis of $500 900 productive endowment and freedom from indebtedness.
 Students of Hendrix are in great spirits as a result of the success of the endowment campaign, which they regard as the greatest of several great triumphs scored during the present session. The college has this year won the Cecil Rhodes scholarship, the Ouachita- Hendrix debate and the in- tercolegiate basketball champion and will contest in four other events during the year.
 On account of the discovery late last evening that the option on the Gen eral Education Boards gift does not expire until the close of March 1, instead of before March 1, the com mttee had 24 hours longer in which to raise the endowment. Today large number of contributions have been received by mail and telegraph and the students themselves have in- creased their donations to $2,600, put ting the total considerably over the S225,000 mark.

Ambrose Lea was brought to Con- way last night and taken to the Boyd ston hotel. He was attended by Con- way physicians, who state that his condition is not serious. The bullet struck a rib just over the heart and ranged around the lungs. Lea was taken by friends this morning to the home of his mother, Mrs. Henry Smith, near Linder. He was reared in this county, leaving here about two years ago.
 According to parties who talked with him last night, Lea claims that he did not attempt suicide, but that he was shot by another person. He did not state who he thought fired at him. Lea was suffering considerable pain and seemed anxious for the phy sicians to relieve him.

On the wall fronting the Thames

knife has tried to kill me several

Don't touch it," l cried. you
