MANY TAKING
EXAMINATION

About 100 applicants for the posi-
ton of census enumerator are this
afternoon taking an examination be-
fore Postmaster 0. J. Owen at the
Conway public school building. Every
township in the county is represented
by the applicants, who number about
five or six for each of the 10 appoint
ments to be made. The number would
have been considerably larger but for
the fact that several after reaching
Conway today decided the chances for
appointment were too small to be
worth taking the examination.
The examination papers of the ap-
plicants will be forwarded to Census
Supervisor T. d. Brooks at Russell
vile, who will announce the appoin-
tees within a few weeks.

this portion of the work would have
been completed this week. The con-
crete gang of convicts has been used
in clearning up the building since the
workmen walked out, having no con-
crete to pour on account of the lack
of engineer at the mixer and holster.
The commission is in no way at
fault in the strike, and is doing every
thing in its power to get the men
back at work. The contract with the
timers, is that union men shall be
worked on the building. There is no
time limit in the contract. The con-
tractors hired union men on the cap
itol building, but declined to hire them
on other work they have in the city in
preference to other workmen.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-All work on
the new state capitol has not been
stopped through the general walk-out
which followered the strike of the tin
ners who refused to work for con-
cern which would not employ union
men all over the city. There are
bricklayers at work on the building,
though they are in the employ Of Will
liam Miller & Sons, the general con-
tractors who will complete the build
ing. The bricklayers yesterday be-
gan to put in the tiling partition walls,

dome foundation. About ten brick
layers are working at present, putting

next two weeks. The contractors fig
ure they will be ready to commence
plastering about the first of next
week, for which purpose the windows
viii be covered with muslin to keep out

The state capitol commission is to-
day holding a session extraordinary
for the purpose of arranging some
way of continuing the work on the
building. There is only about a week S
more work for the commission to do
on the building before turning it over
to the general contractors, and for
this reason the commissioners are de-
cidedly anxious to have the men all
back at work. The concrete is nearly
all in and had there been no strike,

DEATH SENTENCE OF
NEGRO COMMITTED

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-Instead of
mounting the gallows February 20 to
pay with his life for the murder of
Bruce Shirley, another negro, Tom
Coffman, a negro convicted in Nevada
county, will serve Fl years in the pen
itentiary, his sentence being committed
yesterday afternoon by Governor Don
aghey. The commutation was made
on therecommendation Of Sheriff Hood,
Prosecuting Attorney Tonpklns ana I,
aumrcr Of pron,nent citizens of e.
vada county. TIE petition stated that
Coffman had been shot about two
years before by Shirley, and was
afraid of him, so if he did kill the
other negro, it was on account OF fear
that Shirley would take his life. The
jury which tried the negro and heard
the circumstantial evidence against
him, was not satisfied with the verdict,
according to some of the members,
for there was no instructions given by
which a second4degree murder verdict
could be returned, and the jury agreed
finally on first degree murder with the
hope that the judge would make the
punishment light. The commutatlon
was forwarded to Sheriff Hood at
escott this morning, and the negro
will be brought to the penitentiary

the city yesterday afternoon stated
the operators would hardly agree to
the 10 per cent raise demanded by
the miners, and the miners would
then walk out. He stated the mines
would probably be idle most of the
summer, as the operators were not an
xious to run the mines. However, the
operator said, the action of the opera
tors would depend upon the result of
the conference between the miners and
operators which is now taking place

EGG ROLLING ON WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS.
course the crowd is largely q question
of weather. but if the day is fine there
is usually some 10000 youngsters on
hand to enjoy the sport. The rolling
lasts from 8 to 1, for children only.
For generations these egg rolling
contests have taken place on the White
House grounds. Rival eggs are start
ed down the slope in conyerging
tracks, the youngsters excitably urg-
ing them Oh. When the looked for col
lision takes place one shell or the 9TH
er is likely to break, and the owner
of the egg which survives claims the
cracked egg as spoils Of war.
The windows of the White House
look down upon the grounds where
the children have gathered and are
constantly filled with invited guests
watching the remarkable spectacle.
When the faces of the president and
his wife appear there are loud shouts
from the youngsters and much hand
clapping. They are quick, too, to rec
ognize other famous ~personages and
cheer them.

Trade Results Will Be Realized.
Merchants who are travelling along
the line Of least resistance are looking
carefully to their advertising in news
papers. In this they call particular at
tention to the things which will create
a buying interest in the reader. The
first place for a merchant to attract
widespread attention of a community
is through the newspaper. Now. if
you will supplement this form of adj
vertising with good circular matter,
giving a more detailed description, and
see that o circular finds it's way into
every home in your territory you will
quickly see noticeable results.
Many times a merchant makes the
right resolve and even goes so far as
to make a trial run. as it were, but
does not keep the good work up To
be successful in business means a sur

ones who try and keep on trying who

reads. plan your work, then work

NOVEL ADVERTISING SCHEME
Camera Contests Among Amateur

Camera Contests Among Amateur
Photographers to Attract Trade.
There is scarcely a ''cameraless'' vii
lage in the United States. no matter
how limited it may be in population.
while in the towns and cities the fold
ing kodaks and other kinds are almost
as common as flies around a moiasses
hogshead. And because they are so
common their enthusiastic users may
be drafted into service as advertising
assistants who can render valuable
aid.
For instance, suppose you used a
portion of your window display space
each week for exhibition purposes.

local amateurs. People would stop
and look. wouldn't they? They surely
would. There isn't any question about
that.
But. says Mr.. Inquisitive. How are
we going to enlist the snapshotters?''
And the answer is that you can get
people to do most anything within
reason if there is any inducement for
them to do it. Well, there is nothing
better than a cash inducement, and if
you should let the amateur photog-
raphers know that you wanted to Sc
cure attractive local views from which
to make a cut to use on that calender
that you are going to give away next
Christmas and that the desire on your
part was so great that you would be
willing to give the successful contest
ant a ten dollar gold piece you would
not have to go around asking people to
get busy.
The pictures would be all displayed
in your shop windows, and the name
Of the photographer would be printed
on the entry. Besides attracting an
immense amount of attention to your
window and drawing customers to
your store. you would get the subject
for a calendar that would be just
about a million per cent better than
the ordinary angel-on-the-moon or Gu
pid fancy designs. which ire only a
little better than no calender at all.
In any event it is a good scheme we'll

you are going at it enthusiastically.

VALUE OF AGRICULTURE.
The Backbone Of Any Community. Says
Congressman Champ Clark.

The Backbone Of Any Community. Says
Congressman Champ Clark.
Agriculture is the backbone of any
community. One may go further and
say it is the backbone of civilization.
The world travels on its stomach. Just
as an army does. and if the world is
to be fed there must be farmers to
grow the produce. In view of this
vital fact and the present tendency Of
farm people to flock to the cities and
quit farming these words Of Congress-
man Champ Clark. minority leader in
the national house of representatives,
are worthy of serious notice:
1.-The present high prices for farm
products have come to stay. The rural
population is playing out. The present
census, if it classes the unincorporated
villages as towns. Will show between
60 and IS per cen Of the population as
living in towns.
AT the present rate in twenty years
the United States will cease to be an
exporting nation for agricultural prod
ucts except as to cotton. One of the
principal causes of the high prices Of
farm products is the world movement
Of people toward the towns and cities.
While a few people in towns and cities
have barns and raise chickens and oc-
casionally pigs, practically the entire
town and city population are nom
producers of anything to eat. but are
consumers only.
