SAYS RED LANTERNS
Are BEING STOLEN

Contractor Joseph McCoppin has
been annoyed considerably recently by
the theft of red lanterns placed along
excavations in the street for the wat
erworks system to warn persons of
the danger of falling into the trench
es. He says he can hardly keep sup
piled with these lanterns, as some are
missing every day. He does not care
for the loss of the lanterns so much
as for the danger to persons passing
or crossing the bitches when no light
is set to warn them. A porto nof a
local inserted in the Daily referring
to this matter a few days ago was
omitted and failed to state what was
intended. Mr.. McCoppin desired to
announce that any person who had
stolen one of his lanterns could OBJ
tain a new one free of charge by ap-
plying to the Drummer Hardware
Company and leaving his name and
address. 1t is not likely, however,
that there will be many applications
of this kind

DR.. TYDINCS SIGNS
THE SEWER PETITION
WORK OF SECURING SIGMA
TURES is PROGRESSING
RATHER SLOWLY.

Through the solicitation of DR.. Geo.
5. Brown, DR.. o. Tydings of Chicago
whose real estate in Conway is proba-
bly, more valuable than that of any
other nonresident owner, has consent
ed to sign the petition for the organiz-
alton of a sewer improvement district
in this city, letter authorizing his
signature to be placed on the petition
being received by Dr. Brown today.
DR.. Tydings formerly lived in Conway
and since his removal has always been
willing to aid literally. in anything
for the improvement of the city.
The work of securing signatures to
the sewerage petitions is progressing
rather slowly, Capt w. w. Martin be-
ing about the only one who is doing
any active work for the organization
of the district. While there is still
ample time to secure the necessary
signatures, Capt. Martin believes the
work should be pushed more rapidly
and arrangements made for a syste-
matte canvass of the property owners
of the city. Very few owners, he
states, have declined to sign when re-
quested to do so, and all that is needed
is for the petitions to be presented to
them.

SUMNER SESSION
T0FND THIS WEEK

The two months summer session of
the Conway public school, which has
been conducted by Mrs. Ida Burns
and Miss Maggie Denison, will come
to close next Friday. The session
was expected to continue until Sep
tember 8, but in order to complete the
work this week, full-day sessions in
stead of morning sessions are being
held. An average of about 60 pupils
have attended the session and practic-
ally all of them will gain a promotion
to which they would not have been
otherwise entitled
The regular session will open Mon
day, October 2. Prof. r. H. Cannon,
the new superintendent, is now at

CLOSE CONTRACT
With AVIAT0RS
FLIGHTS AT COUNTY FAIR
RENOWNED CURTISS pEOpJ T.
WILL GIVE THREE DAILY
EXHIBITIONS.

Three flights daily in an aeronlane
by a world-famous aviator will be an
attraction at the Faulkner county fair
October 3-6, which will porbably not
be equalled by any other fair in the
state and which is expected to draw
an attendance of many thousands at
the big annual event in CONWAY this
fall. The aerial exhibition will be giv-
en- by the Curtiss Exhibition COMPANY
OF New York, of which Glenn H. Cur
itss, who has broken several worlds
records IN long-distance flights, is the
chief executive. Manager ]. A. King
this morning wired the Curtiss COM
pany of the fair associations accept
ance of their contract.
The directors of the association
have been negotiating for several
weeks to secure this attraction. After
deciding upon the aviation feature of
the fair, they decided to secure only
one OF the foremost companies to put
on the flights, so as to run. no risk of
disappointment to the big crowd of
visitors expected Other aviators
could have been obtained at a much.
lower price, but the association had
no assurance that they would come uB}
to their contract, and the directors
we're unwilling to take any risk along
this line. The cost of this attraction
will be $500 per day, in addition to
the local expenses connected with the
fights.
The three daily flights will give The
people of Faulkner and adjacent conn
ties rare opportunity to see one of
these new air machines in actual
flights. Practically everyone of course
has witnessed the time-honored bal
loon ascension, but probably not one
IN hundred has had the opportunity
OF witnessing machine heavier than
the air, with no gas bag to sustain it,
dartlng through the air at great
heights, describing circles and flying
back and forth at the will of the man
who operates its levers, and, while
this will be only one feature of the
big Faulkner county fair, it is one
which alone will be worth coming
many miles to see.

CREEK
TO WORK ROAD
CITIZENS PLEDGE S9O7
SPLENDID SUPPORT FOR CON.
WAY-LITTLE ROCK ROAD CIV
EN- AT CHADWICK.

The citizens of Pierce Creek town.
ship have Joined enthusiastically in
the movement to build a good read
from Conway to Little Rock by wav
Oh Cato, and at a meeting at Chad
wick Saturday afternoon. s9O7 was
subscribed to improve that portion of
the road which runs through Pierce
Creek township, from the line of Will
son township on the east to chaJ o.
Palarm township on INC wet. In ad-
dltlon to this gencl al frce-wor, .ng
day was called for next Thursday.
August 80, at wlich several luadre,.
men and boys, with scores of teams.
will work on the road.
County Judge J. A. Lea, who has
been taking an active interest in the
proposed good road, said today the en-
thusasm shown at the meeting at
Chadwick Saturday was even greater
that that manifested at Cato on last
Thursday, when arrangements were
made to improve the road through
Wilson township and also from Cato
through Pulaski county to Little Pock.
The committee appointed to take
charge of the disbursement of the
money raised at Chadwick is composed
of V. R. Williams, J. M. Jeffries and
John Martin. They will cooperate
with Road Overseer ]. R. Dupriest in
supervising the work.
Judge Lea says the principal object
of calling for the general road work
ings is to get the people out and show
them the condition of the highway be-
fore any money is expended or work
done, and to strengthen the sentiment
in favor of good roads. The actual
work done on such occasions, Judge
Lea thinks, is not of much value, as it
is mainly composed of unskilled labor
which cannot be Systematically en-
ployed.
Following up his campaign in the
interest of the improved Conway-Lit-
tie Rock road, Judge Lea left this
morning for Saltillo, where he will ad-
dress meeting called to take steps
toward carrying the good WORT on
through Palarm township to the Cad
ron township line. The road through
the latter township, without the ex-
ception of few mudholes and repairs
to culverts, is said to be already in
first-class condition, and will require
very little work to carry it on to Con-
way.
