 Editor Times:-In your issue of the 3d inst, you are inclined to op- pose the repeal of the 4wire fence law now in force in certain territory, affecting the portion from which we write. We are inclined to think this bit of opposition arises from lack of information on your part. If you will take the pains to glance at the map you will find that there are, approxi- mately, 5000 acres of land embraced in this proposition, and if you will further investigate you will find only about 2,l00 acres in cultivation, and this constituting about thirty farms, approXimating about per cent of open land in the territory mentioned. Then you will see that the lines are drawn many miles from the most highly developed section of country. An act was passed during the previous session of the General Assembly (l9O9) exempting west of L'Anguila river, a section of country similar to this, so in the name of justice, why have not these citizens the same right?
 You speak of the no fence law coming: It may be fifty or it may be a hundred years off, Rest assured, these same citizens, or their success sors, will be as apt toayail themselves of improved conditions as they are now in condemning the inadequate 4-wire fence; but many years will pass before those conditions will exist These people are few in number and widely scattered, with this vast un- tanned territory at their door, and 1t does seem uncharitable for any one to deny them the privilege of using this magnificent stock range while they hew themselves out home in this wilderness. To those who oppose it, we vie with your correspondent at Democrat-'Go way back and sit down. 'Respt.,

Principals Meeting Saturday Awards Annual Field Day Meet to
 Forrest City.
MEET TO BE HELD APRIL 18TH
Forrest City Proposes to Royalty En. certain Contestants and Other Visitors. Interesting
 Program

At a meeting of the High School principals of the schools of Eastern Arkansas, held Saturday at the Hotel Marion, Forrest City was chosen as the place of the Annual Meet to be held April 15, 1911.
 By provision of the Constitution the principal of the school at which town the meet is to be held, becomes the president of the association for the ensuing year, thus MT. Miller ,.our principal, becomes the president of the Association for this year.
 Profs. Sontag,of Helena: Partlow. of Clarendon; Bourne, of Brinkley; and met with NIT. Miller, of this city. and proceeded to business by the selection of Prof. Bourne as chair. man, and MT Miller, as secretary. Marianna was represented by proxy. The Association is to be known as the lnterscholastie Athletic. Ora t9rieal and Musical Association of the High Schools of Eastern Arkansas. A constitution and rules to govern the contests were adopted and it was de- cided to hold contests in athletics. Reclamation and Instrumental and vocal music.
 The athletic events will consist of the usual track and field contests to be held in the afternoon. The decla- nation contest, together with the contests in vocal and instrumental music, will be held at night on the same day as the Field Meet.
 Five of the schools were represented and promised to have representatives in the four contests, The following schools have been invited to, and are expected to have representatives in the contests: Brinkley, Clarendon, Helena, Mariana. Wynne, Harris burg and Forrest City.
 \ beautiful loving cup will be given To tie Association, to be awarded to the school whose contestant wins the piano solo contest. This cup was do- hated by the Hollenberg Music Con- pany, of Little Rock.
 \ cup to be known as the Executive Board Championship Cup, will be awarded the track team scoring the most points. This cup is to be con- tested for yearly, but will become the permanent property of the school winning it three years in succession.
 A cup will also be given the school winning the vocal music contest. A valuable prize will be given the boy or girl winning the Reclamation con- test and gold medal will be given the best all round athlete.
 This meet coming to Forrest City will bring lots of people to our town and we feel that 1t will be of great benefit to the town and to the school. Our boys and girls will be brought in contact with the students of the other schools of this section of the state and they will also find them selves matched against the best brain and brawn of the other schools and we feel that good old Forrest City will acquit herself with glory in all of the contests. Let the business men come forward without waiting to be asked, and contribute funds enough to make this meeting success as it should and must be, and let us make the people who come here so thor oughly enjoy themselves that they will want to come again. Forrest City is noted for her hospitable people

l have recently received for review an advance copy of MT. Thos. Dixon $ new story, The Root of Evil The authors own words suggest the sub- stance of the book: Has the woman who turns from great love to marry for money a soul? If she can de- liberately break the heart of a lover will she not commit murder when put 10 the test? What is the true source of crime? These are some of the questions asked in my story
 MT. Dixon's characters are not al ways consistent. Neither are we al- ways so. There are some objection able things in the book, but they are mostly minor matters Those who have read "Leopard's Spots, "The Clansman' and The One Woman need not be told that this latest work of MT Dixon is intensely inter esting
 At no point does MT. Dixon preach, but no careful reader can peruse the pages of this modern story without realizing it's fitness for this commer. cial, money-mad age Surely, ''the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil," and if we have not already learned it from a better authority we can learn it from this tragic story.
 This book may be had at the News stand.

Ed OEROEN WILL
BUILD MODERN HOTEL
New Building VIII Have Three Stories
and Base1ent and Will Be
EquippS6 With All Modern
[oNeaSerces.

Hotel propositions have been COM
ing thick and fast for the past few
weeks, but none have taken definite
form until today when the hotel COM
mittee of the Commercial Club met
with Mr.. Ed S.. Derden at the First
National Bank, and, after hearing his
proposition, agreed to recommend it
TO the club.
Mr.. Derden stated his proposition as
follows: To erect on his lots south of
the Carnegie library a modern hotel.
The building will have 20 feet front
on Main street and will extend back
to the Houston & Texas Central
switch. There will be a reservation of
80 feet for an addition when neces-
sary. The building is to be three
stories high, of the same materials
usef in the Masonic temple. There
will be a basement with a concrete
floor containing a laundry, heating ap-
paratus, a kitchen, toilet improve
ments and several sample rooms. The
first floor will have a lobby with thing
floor, a writing room, a ladies' parlor,
the hotel office, an elegantly furnished,
well lighted and ventilated dining
room, and four double suites of rooms
for families. The second floor will
have ten rooms with private baths and
ten rooms without baths. The third
floor will have twenty rooms. The
cost Of the building fully equipped will
be between $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. Derden stated that he had con-
tracted with Architects Giesecke G.
Dean TO make the drawings and plans
of the building so that they can be
submitted for bids and the contract
let by March 10.
After hearing the proposition and
considering il at length the committee
voted unanimously TO recommend to
the Commercial Club that Mr.. Der
den's proposition be endorsed.
Everybody acquainted with Ed Der
den knows that he has both the bust
ness capacity and the means to do
what he proposes, and that when he
puts his hand to the pillow he does not
look back. A modern hotel, such as
Bryan needs. is therefore assured.

obw.betuck Mountain to Be Developed

ObWebetuck mountain, South Wind ham, the natural beauty spot of Wind ham county, will soon become a resi- dcntial section of the old town of Windnam It's owner. Dr. John J. Donohue, of Norwich, who until some five years ago conducted sanitarium iii the large hotel on the summit of the mountain that was destroyed by fire April ,. 1907. has had the land sur veyed by Civil Engineer Fred J. Kro
 mer of Norwich. The work was com pleted by Mir Kroner Thursday. Dr. Donohue was in Willimantic Friday and said that i'll a short time the land will be plotted off, streets staked out and building lines established. The tract of land comprises about nine acres, and this will be divided into 55 lets, and there will be five streets, the names of which have already been de- cided upon. The long thoreugnfare that winds up the hill from the trolley line around the property connecting with Machine Shop Hill, will be named Ob- webetucll avenue. Grand View avenue will run from the latter through where the sanitarium stood. Maple avenue will run through the grove of naples planted by Dr. Donohue 20 years ago. l The two other streets will be named Terrace and Donohue avenues
