TEXAS SCHOOL GETS
NORMAL TEACHERS

Miss Emma l.. Rasor, teacher of
drawing, and Miss Nancy Fritz, teach
er of reading and vocal music in the
Arkansas State Normal, have been
rendered positions on the faculty of
the West Texas Normal at Canyon
City, for the session beginning Sep
tember 20, 1910. 1t IS probable that
both will accept, as the positions Of
fered carry salaries very much larger
than those paid by the Arkansas
school. The salaries of the faculty
in the local institution are fixed by
act of the legislature, and it is i'm
possible for the board of trustees to
offer more than authorized by this act
President Doyne stated this morning
that he is now on the lookout for
teachers to fill the vacancies caused by
the resignation of Misses Rasor and
Fritz and expects to have the places
filled in ample time for the next ses-
sion.

GIVES TO HENDRIX FUND.

President Stonewall Anderson this
morning received letter from Rev.
0. F Goddard of Oklahoma, in which
he states that he will give half block,
situated in the Boulevard addition, to
the Hendrix college endowment fund.
This is one of the most pleasing gifts
that the endowment fund has receiv-
ed and coming from one who is an
alumnus of that institution, shows the
interest that the former students of
the college have in furthering its ad-
vancement.

Rev. James Thomas writes me that
he expects Conway to do something
nice for the Hendrix college endow-

l believe that every intelligent and
fair-minded person will agree with me
that the prosperity of Conway dates
from the location of Hendrix in our
town. Better buildings, both resi-
dence and business, commenced i'm
mediately and have continued until
this good day. Then came Central
college, which has added much to our
growth and prosperity. And last, but

PULASKI R|NCSTERS
With kAVANAUCH
HEELERS ACCOMPANY HIM
DONAGHEY GOES ALONE BUT
GETS MUCH THE BETTER
CROWDS.

Little Rock, Feb. 19.-People who
have heard both the candidates for
governor speak, are commenting upon
the difference in the size of the parties
which accompany the speakers. Gov
ernor Donaghey comes and goes alone
and speaks to large crowds every
where. The more advertised oppon-
ent has crowds of varying sizes and
is accompanied to each town by from
a half dozen to a dozen henchmen.
Burt L. Roberts, sheriff of Pulaski
county, has made nearly every one of
the Kavanaugh appointments. w. M.
Moore, assessor of Pulaski county,
nas been to many of the places with
the candidate. Jack Maloney, deputy
sheriff and candidate for clerk of the
chancery court, has almost ignored his
race, leaving the canvassing in this
county to be done by others, and de-
voting his own time to making the
rounds with C. C. Kavanaugh. Be-
sides these three, there are always
several lesser lights in the party, and
when they arrive at the appointed
place, do everything in their power
to spread the charges of the opposi-
ton to Governor Donaghey. The alb
sence of SO many officials from Pu-
laski county almost continuously, and
their great activity in the guberna-
torial race, has not increased their
popularity at home, and there has
been some comment regarding the alb
sence of the officials from their offices.
Many have made the assertion that
if the ballots are counted just as they

The amusements, the social life, the
valuable schools of the cities, together
with the hope of rapidly acquiring
wealth, have drawn too many people
from the country. James Hill gives
warning of danger. He says in a short
time we will not export foodstuffs to
other countries, but will have to i'm
port them, and that the cost of living
will become so great that suffering
will result and crime increase.
All the wealth must be gathered
into the towns, while the country Ian
guishes in badly built houses and
schools, for the prosperity of state
is to be estimated by the excellence
of rural homes, schools, roads and
farm equipment. The social interests
of rural population must center
around the schools and churches. If
this had had been seen in the begin
ming, groups of settlements might
have made around a central area set
apart for schools, churches, store
and a postoffice. In some way we must
correct our mistakes; we must build
central district high schools, school
residences and churches. These things
will cost great deal of money in the
aggregate, but surely nothing is worth
so much.
In Pulaski county there have been
two general meetings of school direc-
tors and two meetings of a special
committee composed of the county ex-
aminer, DR.. Prothro, Mr.. Rauch, and
a negro named Suggs, who have at
tempted to establish rural high schools
by uniting districts and providing
transportation for children. The
county judge, upon petition of pat
rons, can abolish a district, and unite
it with another. AS yet the committee

the general educational board has
promised us provided we have raised
the $685. 900 endowment ourselves and
paid off the debt that Hendrix owes.
The question is now up to US. What
will we do about it? Will we sub
scribe literally or not? Will you think
of the good Hendrix has done and will
do for our town and the Methodists
all over the state? Hendrix has much
more than paid for all the money ex-
pended in the buildings and the run
ming expenses we have been at, by
sending out so many bright young
men and women we'll equipped for all
the walks of life Mr.. Thomas will be
here soon and we will then take this
matter up with you.

idea to bind the entire county

MILAN gives expression in a COM

What a blessed thing it is to
live in this day of light and lead
ing when one is given the in
estimable privilege Of paying
twice what a service is worth.
When everything else costs about
twice what it did some years
ago of course one ought to expect
to pay for electric lights about
twice what they are worth. That
is, if the light plant is munich
pally owned and operated, as it
is here. And if you have reason
to believe that you pay more for
three or four lights, say, than
some one else pays for four or
five for same the length of time.

ROBESONLAN
THURSDAY. DECEMBER Is. 1910

1t is said to be- very probable
that wilmington will adopt the
commission form Of government
in the near future. The public
spirited citizens of Lumberton
who have the best interests of
the town at heart could not do
better then to consider seriously
having a change made in the
charter of this town at the next
Legislature. If there is any
town that needs a change in it's
government Lumberton certainly
cannot afford to ignore the ad-
vantages that might be derived
from a change to the commits
sion form. If the affairs Of this
town were conducted for even
thirty days in a business-like
way there would be a rafting
of dry bones that would astonish
the natives. The sort of govern
ment this town is receiving now
would do very we'll for village
of 500 inhabitants, but Lumber
ton is too big and too important
a town to be satisfied with it any
longer. And it is nothing but
just to add that this is more the
fault of the system and dis2d-
vantages under which they
are working than it is Of the
men who are at the head of the
towns affairs.
