 CONTROVERSY.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, May 30.-With oral ar guments by Judge P. II. Prince and R. w. Robins of Conway and Judge J. II. Harrod of Little Rock the case of G. k. Strickland and others aginst NJ. Strickland, Jr., was submitted in the Arkansas supreme court today. As the court is now well caught up with it's docket a decision will be rendered, it is thought, within the next two or three weeks, and possibly at the next sitting of the court, one weeks from today.
 The deed under which the appellee, N. Strickland Jr., is in possession of large body of land in Faulkner county formerly owned by his father, Nj. Strickland, Sr, was attacked on new ground by the appellants in the arguments made before the court to- day. The appellants allcge that Feb iurary 20, 1898, the date of the deed in controversy, occurred cn a Sunday and is void on that account. The ap- police contenGed that this issue could net he brought mo the case after it's trial in the lower court, but the ap- pellants urged that it was within the discretion of the court to take judicial notice of self-evident facts, such a. days of the week.
 The principal contention of the ap- pellants is that the deed, puported to have been made by M. Strickland, Sr, to his son, M Strickland, Jr., is a forgery. The alleged deed conveyed to the younger Strickland all of his fathers lands at the death of the lat ter, leaving the other heirs, children of two sons and one daughter of the elder Strickland. without any interest in his real estate in his real estate. Evidence was introduced by the pant ies seeking to have the deed annullad that it was executed on a blank whi ,h Was HOl pliHJCQ ulllli etbpAt tliI NN years after the date of the deed; that it's acknowledgement and witnessing by Justice of the Peace s. L. A, Vince less, who died in 1900, was not in the handwriting of Wheeless, as well as other circumstances tending to prove the deed a forgery.
 Strickland introduced the testimony of several witnesses who stated that they had heard his father say he in tended to leave all his property to his son. The lower court sustained the deed and the plaintiffs took an appeal to the supreme court.
 The case has attracted a great deal of attention in this county and its outcome will be awaited with much interest. Should the contentious of the appellants be sustained by the supreme court, it would involve in serious charges the appellee, M, Strickland, Jr, who is now a promi- nent banker of Beebe and mayor of that city.

MAY USE WOOD
 PIPE FOR WAFER

If the investigations of the cngin- eers prove that it has been found sat isfactory, wooden pipe may be used to convey the water from the source of supply for the Conway waterworks system Chief Engineer G. A. Wat kins is now on a trip to Louisiana factory where this class of pipe Is made and from there he will go to several Alabama towns where thelr product is used in place of the usual cast iron pipe.
 Some authorities claim that pipes properly made of wood are in every way as good as iron pipe. The pipe costs a great deal less than iron and, as the finances of the district are limited. it has been decided to use the cheaper pipe if found practicable.
 Engineer Watkins has completed his preliminary surveys for the local waterworks system and has sent his data to the Dixon-Smith Engineering Company of St. Louis, the supervising enqineers for the district, to make an of the cost of the system.

STATE NORMAL
 COMMENCEMENT
SERMON BY DR. CODBEY
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HENDRIX BREACHES TO
 GRADUATES.

With the commencement sermon at the Methodist church by Dr.. l. E. Godbcy, professor of philosophy in Hendrix college, yesterday morning, the closing exercises of the second scs- sion of the Arkansas State Normal were begun. Dr. Godbey took his text from the 37th Psalm, Fret not thy self because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity,' and his sermon was strong admonition to the graduating class to have fixed purpose and not be deterred in it by the trivial things of life. A congregation which crowd ed the church to its capacity heard the sermon. A vocal solo by Miss Fritz and special anthem by the choir were enjoyable musical features.
 Whether the right to vote should be granted Arkansas women will be decided tonight at the Normal audi torium, when this subject will be de- bated by representatives of the Nil a. tima and the Clary societies. Two young ladies will take the negat we side of the question, while woman's suffrage will be advocated by two young men.
 No admission will be charged to any of the Normal commencement everts, and the public is cordially invited to attend Tomorrow night there wl be an entertainment by the Wirgo and the Crestomath societies. .and the graduating exercises will be held Wednesday morning.
 Tonight's program will be as joI- lows:

ADVERTISING TALK.
,Continued from page oneJ
But during the lnterva

charged up to the passenger de-
partment, but l don't know why
it should be, because the advertis-
ing influences the merchant and
manufacturer in the matter OF
freight just as much as it inter
ests the people in the matter OF
travel. Some of the western rail
roads have already commenced a
newspaper advertising campaign
calling attention to their facilities
for handling freight.
If the advertising is chargeable
to the passenger department, Of
course the percentage is greater
than four-tenths of one per cent.
1t is an interesting study to de-
termine just what percentage OF
it's gross earnings a railroad can
employ in advertising.
If a railroad doing a business
like the Pennsylvania, for in
stance-of over $4,000, 900 an
nually, were to spend SO of its
earnings in advertising, as the dry
goods stores feel justified in do
ing, it would mean an expenditure
of S3,6oo.ooo year. That would
be, perhaps, an UNI easonablc
amount to spend, but | think that
IFc to IIz%o could be spent very
prohtably, which would make an
expenditure of from SI,2oo, 900 to
ST. ,8oo,o 900 a yeaI.
Custom has fixed the percent
age of advertising expense IN
most business lines, but no one
has yet figured what percentage
should be spent by railroads.
We all know. however, that the
railroad advertising of today, by
CONTRAST with that done years ago
in special editions, ETC., just to
make newspapers feel good, is so
far superior in every way that il
doesn't make much difference
what percentage of the gross bus
mess is spent, so long as it is
spent inteligently.
The improvement in railroad
travel, the good time made, the
fine service given, the splendid
equipment used, HAVE ALL
BEEN UGH T ABOUT
THROUGH PUBLICITY. Eek.
press freight trains are being run
now and there will be more of
them as the country grows.
1t is good thing for railroad
to advertise frankly. as most Of
them are now advertising. Rail-
road officials have higher appre-
citation Of the value of newspaper
publicity today than they ever
had, showing that ADVERTIS-
ING is A NECESSITY in these
DAYS IN ALL LINES OF BUS.

Democratic Tommy.Rot,

"At Bangor the Hale crowd monopo-
liked President Taft to the utter ex-
clusion of the Kicker folks"
The above is quoted from an up
river Democratic daily of Monday and
shows to what triviality and lack of
veracity Democratic organs are reck-
lessly descending in their dearth Of
logical arguments based on truth at
this stage of the campaign.
President Taft was not monopolized
at Bangor by any particular men.
During the motor car ride about the
city his seat mate was Governor Fer
maid. Another Maine friend who was
with the President much of the time
was Hon. Harold M. Sewall In the
reception parlor after his balcony
speech he was perhaps somewhat
monopolized but not by men. Sew
eral representatives of the fair sex
kept the nations chief talking. At the
banquet no man talked any politics
whatever.
The attempt of Boston and Maine
Democratic papers to build out of
nothing save air charges that Presi-
dent Taft is in Maine aiding any par
ticular ambitions for Republican
honors is about on par with the state
ment in a Democratic daily Of Monday
that he president Taft was peri
lousy near oily and dirty bumpers in
the train she'd"
A kennebec Journal editor was
standing at the right of the Presi-
dents party as it passed. together
with a gentleman and his wife, the lat
ter in dainty gown which might
have suffered had there been oily
bumpers perilously near the President
for he passed to our left. There was
spacious clean area in the shed
across which President Taft and his
party moved to board their automo-
biles.
Democracy may well be in desper-
ate straits, however, over the Presi-
dents Bangor visit. for his sensible
and excellent speech made him and
his party friends. We blame not the
Democratic editors for being desperate
but we are disguised with their lack
of veracity and trivialty that seems
almost imbecile in seeking to make
political capital out of purest tommy
rot.
