MANY TOWNS
Want BRYAN

Little Rock, August 26.-Judge R..
F. Milwee, sheriff of Monroe county
and chairman of the state Democratic
central committee, came to Little Rock
Thursday morning for the purpose of
spending a day or so in campaign
headquarters and preparing a call to
send out to the Democracy of Arkan-
sas, calling on it to turn out and vote
in the general election to be held Sep
tember II, and administer such a
crushing defeat to the Republicans
there will be no more opposition from
that source.
Judge Milwee also took up with Sec
retary Bruce T. Bullion the PROPOSE
ton of arranging dates for William
Jennings Bryan in Arkansas, but
nothing could be accomplished along
this line until word is received from
Col. Bryan stating definitely what
way he will come to Arkansas and
what time he will arrive. The rivalry
among the different Arkansas towns
to secure Bryan for one of his initia-
tive and referendum speeches, con-
tnnues to grow instead of diminish
and the towns are now resorting to
all sorts of means to secure a promise
of one of the dates.
Newport has promised a crowd of
900 people and Batesville says it
will go a bit better than Newport.
Camden wants Bryan bad enough to
close up the stores and bring the peo-
pie in from many miles about. Pine
Bluff, Helena, Brinkley, Stuttgart
and dozens of other towns are work
ing might and main to secure one of
the dates. With such rivalry the spe-
cial train feature is about all that can
be entertained, with six speeches, in
stead of two daily from Col. Bryan,
with a number of five-minutes talks
in between.

$4,000 CHILDREN IN
ARKANSAS SCHOOLS
THAT is ESTIMATE MADE BY
PERINTENDENT GEO.
B. COOK.

The last of the reports of the coun-
ty school examiners was received at
the state educational department yes
terday, which enabled the department
to make an estimate of the public
school conditions in Arkansas, as far
as could be obtained from a cursory
examination of the reports.
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Cook estimates that the school
population in Arkansas this year is
about $4,000 and that almost in ev-
cry county there has been an increass
ed attendance at the schools and that
during the year more than 100 new
schoolhouses have been built during
the year Last year the total attend
ance in the schools of the state was
557 7,46S.
The final report received yesterday
came from County Examiner G. M.
Gooch of Crittenden county. His re-
port shows 7,781 persons of school age
in the county, the enrolment in the
schools being 1898. There were three
schoolhouses built in the county dur
ing the year, bringing the total in the
county to so. The total value of the
school property in the county is placed
at S42,949.
With all reports of the county ex-
aminers at hand, the department will
now proceed with the work of verify
ing the enumeration of the state.

HEAVY RAIN FALLS.

An unusually heavy rain fell here
yesterday afternoon, flooding the

TEXT OF NOTICE
IN DEPOT MATTER

The following is the text of the
formal notice issued by the Arkansas
railroad commission as to the hearing
on the petition for a new depot at
Conway:
Office of Railroad Commission of Ar
kansas. Notice No. 1856. 1929:
Petition for Depot at Conway,
Arkansas:
To the st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway Co.:
The commission has received a
numerously signed petition from elti-
zen. and residents o. the city OF Con
way and Faulkner county, Arkansas,
and vicinity, in which it is represent
ed that the passenger depot of your
railway company at that station is
wholly inadequate and unfit for use
as a station; that your present depot
was constructed over 30 years ago
and it's passenger facilities and walt
ing room have never been enlarged;
that the white and colored waiting
rooms are entirely too small and that
the entire building is unsafe and un-
sanitary; that Conway has approx
mately 1000 inhabitants and that 1t is
practically the only railroad station
in Faulkner county; that on account
of the location of the Hendrix college,
the Central Baptist college and the
Arkansas State Normal at Conway
the passenger business on your line is
considerable larger than at other Ar
kansas cities of equal size. Where
fore, your petitioners respectfully
pray that the st. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and Southern Railway Company
be required to construct passenger
depot at said point.
You are hereby notified that the
commission will take up and consider
this matter at its next regular meet
ing in it's office in the city OF Little
Rock. on Wednesday, September the
7th, 1910, at 10 o'clock a. m., and after
due investigation, will make such an
order in the premises as may be deem
ed Just and necessary.

buy in the bookshops are not the ones

of towns you never heard Of, the dy-

the worlds record of the running
