Respectfully,
r. w. Garnett, Postmaster

Sir:-As a result of general and
special letters sent out by the De-
partment, and the cooperation OF
postmasters and carriers, there has
been great improvement in the
highways on which rural routes are
established. There are. however,
many localities where road condi-
lions are bad and improvements i'm
perative.
You are directed to inform yourself
with reference to the condition of
roads and bridges on rural routes
out Of your office, and if you find
that they require Improvement you
should present the matter in the
strongest and most positive way to
the patrons and road officials, in
forming them that improvements
must be made as soon as practical
BILE. II. after a reasonable time
has elapsed, the Improvements have
not been made or started, you will
report the fact to this office in or
der that action may he taken look
ing to the discOntinuance of the
service.
The Department is not immedi
ately concerned in elaborate road
improvements, but in the interest of
the best service to the largest num-
Der of patrons it must insist upon
roads being kept in good repair, the
lack of which is usually due to i'm
proper drainage, and unsuitable
grading and surface work, which can
be easily and cheaply accomplished
by timely work and the regular use
of the split-log drag or similar de-
vice

The committee appointed for this purpose consists of W. F. Tate of Camden, A. s. Sorrells of Fl Dorado, H. s. Mobley of Fayette- vile and Dr. c. F. Adams of Fayette- vile.
 The question as to whether the build> ings of the several schools should be uniform in architecture was discussed at teh meeting, but there was such a divergence of opinion on the subject that no instructions were given the committee as q guide to the selection of plans.

Director If the Census Durand is appointing tbese agents from the eligible regis tors established as a result of the ex- animation. held November 3. of candi- dates for these positions
 Extraordinary precautions have been been taken by Director Durand to assure the manufacturers that all answers will be held confidential. this statement being prominently dis played on the front page of the numerous schedules It is also de- clared that no publication will be made in the census reports disclosing the name or operations of individual establishments in any particular
 The act of congress provides that the bureau of the census shall permit only its sworn employees to examine the individual reports. and that any employe who shall, without the au- thority of the director of the census. publish or communicate any informa- ton coming into his possession shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
 Director Durand. in discussing this census, said There is only limited time in which to complete this work. It is essential that all the field em- ployes exert themselves to the ut most Those who do good work will be reassigned to other districts and retained in the service until the work is finished
 If manufacturers or others fur nishing data object to supposed dis closure of the secrets of their bust ness, the special agents will assure them that the results of their indi- yidual business will not be made pub lie. They are required also to ex- plain that the information will not be used for the purposes of taxation, nor in any manner to identify the opera tons Of the individual establishments, and will not be disclosed to any other bureau of the federal government. The intent of the law. which will be strictly carried out, is to prevent the disclosure of information which might operate to the detriment in any way

ELECTRICITY IS ANESTHETIC
Recent Experiments Just Made Public Show Current Is Better Than
 All Present Drugs.

Philadelphia-Yea of investiga- ton by noted surgeons for a perfect anesthetic which would have no detri- mental effect on the heart or other vital organs of the patient apparent lv has been at last rewarded
 Electricity has come to the relief of the surgeons, and investigations go ing on here and abroad, which have just been made public. show that cleo tricity is far superior to any of the drugs now used to produce analgesia.
 This discovery. If confirmed by fu- ture investigations, and there seems to be no reason that it will not be. is one of the greatest boons to human ity of modern times It will mean a revolution of modern methods of surgery Persons suffering from dis eases that call for operations. but who cannot get relief through danger of death if put under ether or chloro- form. will now be able to be cured
 Electricity. when used as an anes- thetic. has no bad effects on the heart. If produces a state of insensibility by acting on the nerve centers of the brain that is called electric sleep" The sleep is not fatal and when the electric circuit is opened the influence of the anesthetic is immediately lost and the patient becomes conscious without feeling any of the after effects common to drug anesthetic.

Hendrix Defeats Ouchita in Debate.

L~tle ock-IIendrix College defeat ed Ouachita in the eighth annual de- bate between the two colleges in the Y. M. c. A. auditorium Monday night. Hendrix had the affirmative side of the question, "Shall Congress Enact a Ship Subsidy Bill?'' and two of the three judges decided that the Hendrix debat- CTS had presented their argument in better form and with more conclusive reasoning than had the men from Qua chita. Each college has now scored four victories in the series of annual debates.
 Ouachita, having the choice of sides, chose the negative, and her three rep resentatives produced strong argu- ments against subsidy bill. But they were several points shy on delivery, it was decided by the judges. Prob ably the best address was made by A. c. Maddox, the second speaker for Hen, drix, who has gained a statewide rep utation as an orator.
 Judge w. F.. Hemingway and Judge Jacob Trieber voted that the Hendrix debaters had made better showing, while Judge U. M. Rose stood alone for Ouachita. The judges graded 60 per cent on argument and 40 per cent on delivery.

COMMISSION COMPLETES WORK.
State Capitol Will Be Formally Turned
 Over to Contractors

The State Capitol Commission has is- sued an order formally turning the new state capitol building over to the con- tracting firm of William Miller 6 Sons Company, of Pittsburg, Pa This ac- tion practically marks the completion of the work that has been under prog ress at the direction of the commission, and will be followed later by the with drawal of the 100 state convicts who are employed on the capitol. Governor Donaghey stated that he thought the convicts would be withdrawn about March l, and that they would probably not be used by the commission for three or four months thereafter.
 The commission has been engaged in the work of tearing out and replacing alleged defective work in the new state capitol.
