FIND ENTHUS|UM
 FOR NEW HIGHWAY
FAULKNER PEOPLE BOOST
GOV. DONAGHEY AND co M. PHI LII PS s Fl N D THEM
 GREATLY INTERESTED.

Governor c. w. Donaghey and Commissioner of Agriculture Fred H.. Phillips, both well-known Good Roads Boosters" returned from Con- way Saturday, and both stated that the farmers and merchants in that section of the country just at present are more interested in the proposition to build a macadam highway through that part of the country than any thing else pending in the legislature, says this mornings Arkansas Gazette.
 At Mayfower, Governor Donaghey said he was surrounded by deiega- tion of farmers, who assured him that they were with him from start to fin ish on building the highway. Commis- siener Phillips stated that he went to Conway with the Gazette story of Saturday morning fresh in his mind, and he interviewed a number of farm CTS and erchants, and found that the proposed road is sanctioned by nearly everyone.
 The merchants have planned that a great saving and reduction in freight rates can be made by having the road through that section of the country. Many have figured that several men with good two-horse wagons can make $10 day and deliver freight along the route almost as quickly and more cheaply than the railroad can. Be- tween Little Rock and Conway, it was told him, a team can pull 5000 pounds with good roads, and make trip in one day.
 A merchant and cotton dealer of Mayfower stated that last year he hauled 800 bales of cotton to Little Rock last winter, and even with the condition of the roads at that time, found that he could handle the cotton cheaper and to better advantage Up- on arriving in Little Rock he sold his cotton off the wagons and handled it all around to better advantage.
 One man pointed out to the com missioner that the railroad could not afford to reduce the rates to com pete with overland freight wagons be- cause such a cut would have to apply to all the lines. Even if the road cut rates low enough to make overland freight traffic unprofitable it would result to the advantage of the ship pers, he declared, who now have to re- ly upon the railroads entirely.
 Another man called attention to the fact that not only would such roads bring new settlers to the country along which it ran, but would give en- ployment during the idle months to men with wagons and teams, who could work on the road while not en- gagged in farm work. Bot Commis- sioner Phillips and Governor Dona- ghey stated that the farmers and merchants along the route are aroused and enthusiastic over the prospects of the macadam highway.

 Vilonia, March 28.-Heroic work on the part of the citizens of thi ssec- tion saved the entire town of Vilona from being destroyed by fire which originated at 2:30 yesterday after noon in the residence of J. D. Office. Two dwellings, that of Mr. Office and one belonging to Rev. w. F. Gibbons, were totally destroyed, large DOT ton of the contents of each also be- ing burned. The loss is estimated at $3,000 to $4,000, with no insurance.
 The fire started in defective fiue in a sideroom of Mr. Offices resi- dence, and a high wind from the west swept the flames in the direction of the more thickly populated portion and the business section of the town. A large crowd immediately gathered and began working to prevent a spread of the fire. The citizens at first confined their efforts to saving the adjacent dwellings to the Office place, but few minutes later it was discovered that Rev. Gibbons resi- dence, 150 yards to the east, was on fire A blazing shingle had been car red by the wind and caught the roof of a smokehouse in the rear, and the blaze had gained such headway be- fore it was noticed that it was impos- sible to save the house.
 A general alarm was then sent out over the rural phone lines and farm CTS for several miles around galloped in on horses to help stop the fire. A large force of men was placed on each house in the direction in which the sparks and blazing boards were fly ing, and, although the roofs of l2 other houses were ignited and goods were taken out of several of them. the volunteer fire-hghters succeeded in preventing further spread of the fire
 The two houses burne dare among the oldest in this community. Mr. Offices residence was known as the old J. N. Simpson place, and that of Rev. Gibbons was formerly the Dave Kirby place.
 Rev. Gibbons was away from home at the time of the fire. holding a re- vival meeting at Greenbrier.

SOLDIERS HOME
 MANAGEMENT SENATE FAvORS CHANGE
E D U TON BOARD BIL l. MEETS OPPOSITION IN LOW
 FER HOUSE.

Little Rock, March 2S-Should the house take the same stand as the sen ate has, the Confederate home in the future will be managed by the state board of charitable institutions, in- stead of by a special board of veter- ans appointed by the governor, as it has since it's establishment. The bill making this change was introduced by Senator Williams of Garland, mem- Der of a committee that made thor ough investigation of the home and it's management. President Toney op- posed the bill, declaring that the home is for the old soldiers, and should be managed by them. Among those who spoke for it were Senators Holland Rodgers of Benton and Logan, who declared that if reports be true, eondi- tions at the home are intolerable. They did not begrudge the veterans one dollar, but they wanted them to get the benefit of every dollar appro- priated and the statement had been made that the inmates could be board ed in private homes Epore cheaply and satisfactorily than tsey are kept in the home. The bill passed by vote of 20 to 6.
 The friends of education fought hard in the house Monday for the Bradham bill, providing for the crea- tion of a state board of education. This is the measure drawn and recom- mended by the state education com mission, providing for board of sev- en members who shall have control of the educational affairs of the state. Representatives Parker and Barker led the opposition, declaring that they were opposed to the bill and the cen tralization of power in the hands of board. Numerous amendments were offered few that did not materially affect the purposes of the bill were adopted. Mir. Glover, by amendment, cut out the emergency clause. There was test vote on a motion by MT. Floyd to suspend the rules requiring it's consideration in committee of the whole, the vote being 54 to 30. As the bill carries an appropriation of $2,000 to pay the expenses of the board for two years, it will require 51 votes to pass it. The bill was made special order for next Monday morning.

TRADE AND TARIFF.

Protective duties are of no
more value between the United
States and Canada than they
would be between Minnesota
and Wisconsin. The notion that
the price of amy farm product Of
which we produce a surplus is
affected by duty on imports is
a relic of economic ignorance too
dense for this century. When
we do not produce surplus, but
have to buy abroad, it will be to
the advantage of the home CON
sumer to buy as reasonably as
possible. Canada is our near
est neighbor and our most adj
vantageOuS market for either
buying or selling. The spirit
that opposes reciprocity because
there is in it some advantage
for Canada would destroy all
commerce. Trade is built upon
the principle that both parties
profit by a fair interchange of
products.-James J. Hill.

SWEAR NOT AT ALL.


Cursing is useless. You can
not obtain in the long run by an
oath more than the contempt of
the one that is the object of your
blasphemy. The devout Chris
tan should resent this miserable
and altogether contemplate hab-
it. You should resent it first
because it is an affront placed
upon your religion. an insult Of
fered to Almighty God, and 81
lence where insult is offered
looks as if you were willing to
participate in the crime. But it
is not only an insult to your re-
igion; there is another reason
it is an insult to yourself. You
have many friends and relatives.

your father or mother, who per-
haps is dead, in a cOntemptuOuS

and you would say that such an
insult should not go unrebuked.
And if you guard the names Of
those whom you honor, your
parents and relatives, and help
them in such honor. how can
you permit an insult to your best
friend, your Father who is in
heaven, the Almighty being who
is the author of all that is, and
allow his name TO be handled
around in irreverence and bias
phemy? Surely that name that
is above all names should be
mentioned only with the rever-
ence that is its due and should
be reserved for prayer and
praise, not degraded to the Of
