PENSIONERS WILL
GET A NICE RAISE

Little Rock, August after or
ganizing Monday, the state pension
board adjourned until later in the
week, when several thousand applica-
tions for increase in pensions and
from persons not now on the pension
lo'ls, asking for pensions, will be con
sidered No matter what action is
taken by the board, the Confederate
Veterans of Arkansas, who are now
drawing pensions, will feel a marked
increase in the amount received this
year over that of 1909. Last year
the veterans received but 81 per cent
of the amount allowed them by the
board, but the indications are it will
reach at least 20 per cent this year.
The increase is caused by the increase
in the value of taxable property in
the state, the books showing 45,000,-
900 in excess of 1909, out of which
the old soldiers will get SCI 800. They
will receive / 1-2 mills this year on
$3.50 900 900, which means a good in
crease for each old soldier.

A. H. Bingham of Benton was yes

council as superintendent of the Con-
way Light Plant to succeed Prof. &.
II. Burr, whose resignation became
effective yesterday. Mr.. Bingham is
at present manager of the Benton
light plant and sought the position
here because he believed it offered a
better opportunity than the one he
now holds. He comes highly recon-
mended by his present employers as
most competent, reliable and ener-
getic man, and is known to several
Conway people, all of whom speak
most favorably of his qualifications
for the position. Mr.. Bingham will
return to Conway Sunday and will

STRUGGLE BETWEEN
CITIES Is LIKELY
ARCENTA'S STREET CARS
WANT ENTRANCE TO LITTLE
ROCK AND PROPOSITION
IS OPPOSED.

Little Rock, August BITTER war
is soon to break out afresh between
Little Rock and Argenta over the en-
trance of Argenta cars into Little
Rock, unless the Little Rock coun-
cimen set aside their arms and
peacefully grant franchise to the
company operating in Argenta to
cross the free bridge and land pas
sengers at the corner of Markham
and Main streets. The Argenta com
pany is headed by Senator James P.
Clarke, who is now quietly feeling the
councilmen out on the subject, and
an ordinance will soon be placed be-
fore the Little Rock council asking
for the right-of-way over North Main
street as far as Markham. To one of
the Little Rock aldermen Senator
Clarke has stated he can secure a per-
nit to cross the free bridge across
the Arkansas river, if the Little Rock
council will grant franchise over the
street asked for.
Such an entrance to Little Rock
would give the Argenta company con
nection with all lines of the Little
Rock company, as they center at
Markham and Main streets. Without
a Little Rock connection, the Argenta
street car system is hardly a paying
proposition, and for several years the
promoters have been figuring on a
way to get into Little Rock. All eff
forts to cross the free bridge were
discouraged, as that structure was
not not considered strong enough for
street car traffic The promoters fig
ured on building a bridge at the foot
of Scott street, and then at the foot
of Broadway, but these plans were
abandoned on account of the expense
and the free bridge was returned to,
the promoters guaranteeing to make
it safe if permission is given them to
cross into Little Rock.
The opening of the Cotton Belt de-
pot in Argenta Monday, which with
drew all trains of that railroad from
Little Rock, makes the proposition
more desirable than ever and the Ar
genta street railroad owners evident
" decided to strike while the iron is

NEGRO LYNCH|NC
Being PROBED

keo, August 2.-The only lynch
ing in the history of Arkansas con-
Quoted exclusively by negroes, is to
be investigated by the grand jury
which convened at Lonoke yesterday,
and as result there is some uneasi-
ness among the negro population
here. 1t is believed, however, that
the investigation will be a formal one
only and that little trouble will come
to those engaged in the double lynch
ing which stirred this county last
April.
The victims of their own people
wrath were a negro man and woman
who had just been arrested, the man
charged with Staying his wife and
the woman accused of numbering her
husband. Following the double dis
appearance of their spouses the pair
had lived together as husband and
wife.
