City Makes Decided improvement on
GIenwood Thoroughfare.

The city has completed the gray
cling of Glenwood avenue from it's
head to Fifth street, and is now
graveling the Silver ravine road from
Clark street down to Fifth. When
this has been completed, it will
gravel Warren street from Fifth to
Broad, to connect with the pave
ment, and then the farmers will
have fine road to come into the
business section over. In doing
this, the city is doing 10 more
than it should, for the farmers have
graveled the country roads to the
city limits, and it would not be fair
to allow them to drive through mud
holes and ruts after striking the
city limits.
The Windmiller hill road has been
all graveled except about twenty.
five loads, which will be hauled
later. This will also connect with
road that is graveled for thirteen
miles.
Street Commissioner Waters
states that while there has been
considerable expense attached to
this graveling, it will be met by
cutting the street force down to a
minimum shortly, until the outlay
has been equalized

Force Busy.


The Marsh Engineering company
has ten men working on the Red
Jacket bridge, and it has big con-
crete mixer that works continu-
ously 1t succeeded in finding a
solid foundation for the bridge. 1t
used eighteen foot piles, but when
the pile driver had forced them
down nine feet they struck coarse
gravel and boulders and could be
driven no further to advantage. The
top seven feet were cut off. The
foundation is said to be one of the
best that any bridge in the county
has.
The cement work is progressing
on the south abutment. There will
be two abutments and two piers,
and the preliminary work on one Of
the piers is going on, and it is
thought that everything will be
ready to start the concrete work by
the end of the week.
In case there is no high water,
County Surveyor Brooks expects that
the bridge will be entirely complet-
ed within eight weeks, and that it
will be opened for travel by the
middle of June.

Put in an Appearance Just Before
Noon Today.



From Tuesdays Daily.
Spring began a few minutes be-
fore noon today. Five and quar-
ter minutes before noon was the
time of the spring equinox; that is,
the time when the sun seems to us
to be in the plane of the earth
equator, passing from the south of
it to the north of it, remarked one
who claims to know.
1.-THE actual time when the sun is
in the plane of the earth's equator
is thirteen and a half minutes before
noon," explained the scientist But,
as it takes the rays of light eight
and quarter minutes to travel from
the sun to the earth, the apparent
time is five and quarter minutes
before noon"

Arkansas Plan For Presi-

Scheme Was Originated by Woodrow Wilson ClubAPlan Meets Both Approval and Op-
 position

| Little Rock, August 6.-In all probabi,- Iity the democrats of Arkansas will de- termne the states choice for the presi-
 The plan originating with the Woodrow Wilson club has been indorsed oy the supporters of others mentioned in connc~- tion with the nomination and members of | the state executive committee have ex- pressed themselves as favorable to the proposal. Arkansas will be one of the first states to adopt this plan, Oregon
 and Nebraska being the only ones in
 which this method has been established.
 Heretofore as in most states the state
 convention has been the selection. Although party primaries will not be
 held until March of next year fac'
 tional leaders are organizing theii
 forces and a spirited campaign is 1T
 prospect.
 The Woodrow Wilson club has bee, in existence for several weeks, and now
 those who espouse the cause of Govern
 or Harmon of Ohio announce their or ganization ready to be launched. From Governor Wilson a message has beer received stating that the indorsemeni
 of Arkansas would be gratifying. Guy B. tucker, democratic national committeeman, however, does not sane ton the presidential primary proposi- | ton. In card addressed to the voters
 he asks that it be sidetracked for the present.
 "This early movement" the card reads. 'in behalf of one particular in- dividual is evidently inspired by those who look upon Governor Wilson as the prospective standard bearer of the dem- ocratic party and are anxious to get in on the gound floor"
 Notwithstanding alignments are be- ing made and supporters of the plan insist that, besides state and county
 officers, the presidential nomination will be an issue at the March primary. Several interesting congressiona contests are also in prospect. In the first district a controversy is on as to whether the nominee be selected at a blanket primary or in district conven tion. Congressman Bruce Macon is seeking re-nomination and is to be op posed by former State Senator M IL | Patterson of Augusta and Prosecuting Attorney T. H. Carraway of Jonesboro Already five candidates have announced
 that they will try for the Sixth district
 nomination. Judge George M. Chap | laine of Lonoke, Judge James Gould anc T. N. Havis of Pine Bluff and Judge T
 p Farmer and W. H. Martin. of Hot springs are already in the field. Con rressman Robertson of that distric | aspires to the gubernatorial nomina | tion. Gov George w. Donaghey ha'
 not announced as to whether ne VII | saer re-election. Attorney Genera Hal T. Norwood is also an avowed can- didate for governor.

AIRSHIPS WILL DO
 BATTLE WITH FLEET

Washington. August 6-Battle prae- +ice between aeroplanes and battleships, s mode of warfare which the navies of the world have begun to investigate will have its first trial in connection with the United States navy off Prov incetown Mass. a week from tomor- row when a series of tests between fly ing machines and the guns of the great Atlantic fleet battlesb'ps will take place. Heretofore the battleships have had some practice at aerial targets suspended from large box kites, but these trials did not approximate the actual conditions that would arise when an aeroplane in free flight scars over a fleet
 The aeroplanes will be fitted with pontoons enabling them 10 arise from and alight upon the water. The ayi- ators will try to drop dummy bombs on the decks of the ships, while the naval gunners will try to keep their machine guns sighted upon the planes long enough to enable them to claim a theoretical hit
 At night the searchlights will try to pick up the aeroplanes, a task real ized to be vastly more difficult than the discovery of a boat on fiat surface. Then one of the swift scout cruisers Is to he sent out to sea and an aviator will endeayor to locate her and report her position by wireless to the fleet o1 the coast.
 An attempt will also be made to use the planes to convey messages between the ships and the shore.

 Yesterday the opening lecture was delivered by MT. A. L. French on the subject of corn culture He gave in structions as to how he cultivated his corn and the tools that he used.
 Prof. B. B. Ross, state chemist, next gave talk on the new pure food law of Alabama, giving some idea as to how it would be carried into operation.

 The attendance yesterday was be- tween 1900 and 1500. While many of those who were present on the last day did not attend the lectures.
 1t was anticipated that there would be more than 1000 in attendance at the institution. That highwater mark has been reached and surpassed On every hand was heard the favorable remarks that the summer school of 1911 has surpassed all others.
 It will be the plan of the college at Auburn to have the agricultural feature of the summer school brought out with greater care next year than ever before The attention and lines of work for the teachers will be stressed in every point so that it will be a great inducement for teachers all | over Alabama to come to Auburn to | get their instruction in agriculture Just before the dinner hour the farmers and their wives were assem- pied In Langdo hall, where the prizes l Tor Judging animals, corn and tbf prize for the best corn. for the hos, bread, the best butter, the best paners on various subjects, were delivered | Everybody seemed to be interested ir this final session of the summeI school
