Colonial Jack" the long-distance
walker. who reached the city Thursday
and was scheduled to leave for Rich
mond Friday, was delayed in leaving
until Saturday afternoon. This was due
to the fact that his publishers had neg
lected to forward his books at the reg
ular time. This delay will necessitate
a change in Colonial Jacks" walking
program. He will not go to Richmond
as originally intended but went from
Hallowell to winthrop and thence west
as far as Bethel. After reaching Bethel
he will follow the Grand Trunk south
through the different cities and towns
until he reaches Lewiston. He intends
his arrival in Lewiston to come about

THIS IS THE CASE WITH MANY
CONWAY PEOPLE.

Too many Conway citizens are
handicapped with bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis-
cry, making work burden and
STOPPING or lifting an imposslbility.
The back aches at night, preventing
refreshing rest and in the morning
is stiff and lame. Plasters and linl-
ments may give relief, but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.

neys and cure them permanently. Can

POPULATION QUADRUPLED
OKLAHOMA'S POPULATION EN-
CEEDS ,651 ,951, SHOWING Ala
PER CENT INCREASE.

Washington, July 30.-The total
population of the state of Oklahoma
lacking three enumeration districts
was announced by the census bureau
last night as 1851, 951.
The population in 1890 was 81 1874,
in 1900, 1913, 331. This shows phe-
nomenal increase of Ala per cent, dis
regarding the three districts yet to be
heard from.
The population of the state was
made public because of the fact that
there is to be held in the state next
montn an election in which the ques-
ton of negro suffrage is paramount.
In presenting the figures the director
said that the figures are subject to
revision.
The figures show the total negro
population of the state to be 1873 ,456,
as compared with 112, 160 in 1907.
In 1907 the negro population consti-
tuted 10 per cent of the total and the
percentage for 1910 is S.4 per cent.
The three districts lacking in the
total figures, the director announced,
would alter the total population by
less than 5000 The population of
the territory now recognized as the
state of Oklahoma, was according to
the census of 1907, 790,391, the popu-
lation of 1910 representing an in
crease of 100 per cent. Under this
computation Oklahoma will be entitled
certainly to one more and probably
to two more representatives in con-
gress.
At the present there are five mem
bcrs of the house from Oklahoma. The
figures given out show an increase
since 1907 of 1913 per cent.
