PLAN MEETS APPROVAL
MANY CITIZENS VOLUNTEER AID IN IMPROVING THIS
 HIGHWAY.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l am glad to state through your paper that l have received many fla vorable comments and offers of sub stantial aid to the free-for-all road working day, August 15, from Char lie Plants, north of Mt Vernon, to Enola and on to Roden's Mill.
 This is a much-needed work, and I trust every person who lives in reach of this road will turn out with tools of all kinds to repair this road, and that any who cannot come in person will send hand or contribute some cash to help in having the work com pleted. All cash will be carefully handled by safe men. All will appre- ciate good road and be glad you helped make it so.
 1 further suggest that those north of Mt. Vernon meet at T. A. Maddox and work either way; another meet at c. D. Bakers; another at Mt. Yer non; another at Enola; another at Chap Spencer's; another at Mir. Dunn's or the old Dr. Scales place; another at Jim Mabry's; another at Mr. Sanders, the overseer on the south side of the Mabry hill; and all select leaders to direct the work, leav- ing all appropriations to repair cul- verts, buy lumber and to work the Mabry hill and all other places need ing work.
 trust these suggestions will meet with the approval of all. E. E. JONES. August 2, 1911.

SUMMER TERMS
 MAY BE COMBINED
UNIVERSITY AND NORMAL
MIDSUMMER SESSIONS MAY BE HELD ONLY AT FAY
 ETTEVILIE.

Little Rock, Aug. S.-Correspond- ence is going back and forth between President J. N. Tillman of the Uni versity of Arkansas and George B. Cook, superintendent of public in- struction, which it is believed will soon result in the combination of the summer normals which have hereto fore been conducted at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and the Arkansas State Normal at Conway.
 "This summer there were 215 at tending the summer school for teach CTS at Fayetteville, and 150 at the Normal" states Prof. Cook, "and the Board is now considering the advisa- bility of combining the two and per hitting the faculty of the Normal to join with the faculty of the Univer- sity in one big Normal at Fayette- vllie. There is no town in the state so suited for this work as Fayette- vile. The town is summer resort and it is cool all during the summer. There are large dormitories for men and women. There are plenty of boarding houses on the outside. Fay etteville can be easily reached by fast trains from all Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kan sas.
 ''If we decide to combine the summer schools, it should draw all the teach CTS from these states, and instead of an enrolment of 365, it should the first year have 1000 teachers in at tendance. We could have a faculty there second to none, and keep in Arkansas the 75 or more teachers which each year go to Knoxville to at tend the Summer School of the South. l believe the combination will soon be arranged"

DIR. HARRISON ACQUITTED
SEARCY PAPERS ACCOUNT OF PHYSICIANS VINDICA-
 TON IN COURT.

Friends in Conway of Dr. A. G. Harrison, stating that dispatches sent out by Searcy correspondents regard ing his trial were unfair to the de- fendant, have requested the publica- ton of the following clipping from the Searcy Citizen, giving an account of his trial and acquittal:
 The case of the State against Dr. A. G. Harrison, charged with volun- tary manslaughter in the killing of Willis Parker at Kensett on July 6, 1911, terminated this morning. The case consumed three days and all of the facts in the case were brought out. Something like 35 or 40 wit nesses were summoned, some of whom were eye witnesses to the difficulty, and some who testified as to the char acters of the parties. After the hearing of the evidence, Judge Brun- didge, as counsel for the defendant, introduced motion for peremptory instruction for the acquittal of the defendant. This motion was argued late yesterday afternoon by both the defense and the state, and Judge Hut ton withheld his decision until this morning.
 When court convened today Judge Hutton reviewed all of the evidence from killing of a pig of the deceas- ed by Dr. Harrison's automobile. Judge Hutton said that he always gave particular attention to the evil dence in cases of homicide and that he had given unusually close attention to this case, and that there was less conflict in the evidence than any case he had ever known in the practice of law or since he had been on the bench. He reviewed the law of self defense and that that before one could enter plea of self defense that the party making such plea must be without fault in the matter, and that the evidence produced show ed beyond doubt that Dr. Harrison had done everything that a man could do to avoid this trouble. Among oth- CT things, he stated that in the be-

In Ontario the population of the
