 On last Friday evening the mem bers of the Baptist church gave a delightful reception at the church in honor of the new minister Rev. Eber- ling and wife.
 4 short program consisting of read ings and music was much enjoyed, the songs rendered by Mrs. Doris being a real treat.
 After the program much enjoy ment and merriment came about by the committee distributing cards with names of states and capitals of states and then came hunting for partners for refreshments. Have you seen Mississippi? No. You couldn't tell me where to findWheeling could you? Oh. say. here is Richmond That's all right but I want Charleston. Put me off at Buffalo And so the fun kept up until finally ali states and capitals were seated comfortably sioe by side. Then refreshments or most appetizing sandwiches, coffee and coco and delicious homemade cake were served to the crowd in attend ance. 4 goodly number from the oth- CT churches came to welcome BIr and. Mrs. Ebberling to Bisbee which will be their home for the next year.
 Last Wednesray evening the mem bers of the Anona club met at the home of Mrs. r. R. Reynolds on Gas tie Hill to complete arrangements for their Valentine dance to be ziven on February l4 at odd Fellows hall.

WATFRWORKS
BONDS BRING SO
is. JOHNSON, COLLECTOR
COMMISSIONERS IN S TRU G. 7
CONTRACTOR TO BEGIN
WORK AT ONCE.

Sixty-eight thousands dollar sbonds
sold at 90 cents.
Sheriff J. S. Johnson elected as col
lector.
Contractor Joseph McCoppen noti-
fled the district is in readiness for him
to begin work.
These important steps were taken
at a meeting of Commissioners 10
Frauenthal, G. w. A. Wilson and B.
L. Harton, late yesterday afternoon,
following the receipt of an opinion
from Rose, Hemingway, Cantrell &
Loughborough of Little Rock, approx
ing the legality of the organization
of waterworks district of Conway.
The bonds were sold to the South
ern Trust Company of Little Rock,
who some time ago, offered 80 cents
for the issue. This is probably the
highest price ever paid for municipal
bonds in Arkansas, an issue by the
Main street paving district of Little
Rocw, backed by over six times the
assessed value of the Conway district,
brought only 90 cents. The bonds are
to be dated January /, 1911, but all
interest accrued at the time of deliv-
cry is to be refunded to the district,
and two percent interest is to be paid
on any portion of the money not
drawn at the time of the delivery of
the bonds.
The selection of Mr.. johnson as col
lector will doubtless prove popular
one. Mr.. johnson was sworn in this
morning and the tax books will be de-
lvered to him within a few days.
Mr.. McCoppen, the contractor, and
Engineer G. A. Watkins will come to
Conway next Monday and arrange for
beginning actual construction work
on the waterworks. Everything is
now in readiness for work to COM
mence, and the commissioners believe

SUIT AGAINST
WOODMAN CIRCLE

In the Faulkner circuit court today
H. J. Glover filed suit against the
Woodman Circle to recover $1,000 in
surance on the life of his deceased
wife, which he alleges is unpaid. The
plaintiff states in his complaint Lula
L. Tapley, who became his wife Oc-
tober 27, 1907, carried insurance in
Woodman Circle for $1,000 in favor
of her daughter, Grace L. Tapley,
and, after the birth of the two chill
dren of her and the plaintiff, had the
amount of the policy changed to in
clude them as benefciaries for one
half of the amount of the policy. Mrs.
Glover the plaintiff states, died on
April 81, 1910, and the defendant
company has never paid the amount
of the policy to the beneficiaries. The
suit was brought by George W. Clark
and r. w. Robins.

THINK HENDRIX
DEBT WAS PAID
REPORTS ENCOURAGING
N EARLY EV ERY DISTRICT
HEARD FROM PAID AP-
PORTIONMENT.

Practically every Methodist district
heard from has paid its apportion-
nent of the Hendrix Indebtedness, ac-
cording to Rev. F. S. H. Johnston,
paid as result of the campaign end
ing last Sunday. Rev. Johnston was
especially pleased with the collection
at Fayetteville, the location of a re-
vival educational institution, which
paid over $4O0.
Speaking of the results of the cam
paign over the state this weeks West
ern Methodist says:
"All reports that have reached this
office are most encouraging. We are
going to get out of the woods. The
$685. 900 debt will be paid.
"Morrilton district is assured for
the full amount asked of it. SO is
Fayetteville district. So is Texarkana
district. So, we are told, is Camden
district. All reports that have come
from Pine Bluff district are good
Good work was done in the Little
Rock district last Sunday.
"The places that are working un-
der the heaviest local burdens, like
Rogers and Clarksville, have come up
with the full amount expected. 1t
makes no difference what is in the
way, wherever the people have had
this debt presented, and have been
told how all our future will be affect
ed by it, they have responded nobly.
Places most remote from the college,
like many in the Fayetteville district,
where this editor spent a week with
Rev. J. B. Stevenson, the presiding
elder, responded almost eagerly when
the people understood"
The Morrilton Democrat says of the
collection in that city:
"Morrilton citizens will surely have
many gems in their crowns in the
hereafter, for they always respond
to the call for church or charity in a
most liberal manner. Sunday was set
aside by Arkansas Methodists as a
day to raise enough to pay off the in
debtedness of Hendrix college, so as
to get the benefit of 100000 endow
ment fund. Of this Indebtedness the
local church here was assessed $400,
and Sunday the collections for this
purpose amounted to over $430. Hur-
rah for our good Methodist people"

COLLEGE NOTES.

The second issue of the Magazine is
in the hands of the printer. The sec
ond quarterly examinations are in
progress this week. A pupils recital
will be give nat the college auditorium
Saturday, January 28, to which the
public is invited.
Miss Mary Howard was called home
last week on account of the death of
her brother.
Every girl returned after the holi-
days except one, who was detained on
account of an attack of pneumonia.
She will come back as soon as she
is able.
The enrolment at present is 1877.
This is equal to the enrolment for
any previous year for the entire ses-
sion, except last year, when it reached
149. We fully expect the attendance
easily to surpass that of any previous
year, as teh session is just half gone.
Seven new students have entered
the boarding department during the
past week and others have written

THOMSON, GA, APRIL 27, 1911.
What Has the South Done For
the Negro?

A FRIEND writing from Kansas, where she
now lives, states that it is the general belief,
out there, that the North has given the negro
all the help which he has received since his
emancl patton.
The lady requests me to give the facts. Has
the South helped the freed African; and, if
so, how much?
Of private donations to schools and
churches no record is kept; and no estimate
is possible. It is we'll known, however, that
the colored people are continually begging the
Southern whites for contributions toward the
building or the repairing of their school-houses
munity in the Southern States has given,
generously In fact, the art of begging for
the church has been systematized deliberately
among the negroes; who, in that respect,
initiate the whites, as they do in almost every
thing else pertaining to things conventional.
Therefore it may be doubted whether there
are ten per cent of the churches of the negroes
that were not aided substantially by the
money of the Southern whites.
AS to State-aid to negro schools and col
leges, the records speak The whites of the
South have given since the Civil War; at
least S3O,O00OO0 of their money to the educa-
ton of the blacks
Can the people of Kansas be unaware of the
TACT That even Booker WaShlngtOnS "1uSKe-
gee"-the boast Of the Negro and the pet of
the North-has one of it's tentacles wound
round the treasury of the State of Alabama?
Yes, Sir: Booker t. is fixture in the appro-
priation bills of our neighborng State. Prac-
tically the same condition exists in other
States.
Has the huge expenditures for the education
of the negro benefited the race, as a whole?
[ fear, not. Has the common black man a
higher conception of life and better stand
ard of living than his slave ancestor? Not
that [ can see. You may 60 wherever you
will, in the South, and you find that the "Old
time darkey'-he who was once slave-is
the soberest, best-behaved most respected
negro in the community. Very seldom do you
see one of these ex-slaves in jail. Generally,
they know hOa0 to work, and they work They
make their livelihood by honest labor.
Who are the loafers, gamblers, drunkards,
rowdies, thieves, Migrants, rapists? The
younger set. Almost without exception the
criminal negro is a negro born within the last
forty years.
Nearly the first thing that negro youth
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-04-27

does, after learning to- write, is to forge seme-
body's name to an "onder," or draft, or a:
check.

right then and there. [ don't know how youi

The very idea Of one of the Editors of.

gives me the all-overs.
What's this country coming to, anywavl

Of course, if it had been Pleas Stovall, of

Either of these Editors might have, dashed

without creating any considerable sensation
But when one Of the consecrated pilots of

Our breath comes quick and short We almost
have palpitation of the heart. We want the

Hardly had [ recovered from the baleful
effects of reading how Brother Graham had
busted the funeral procession with his auto
moblle-for which he was instantly arrested
by pollceman-before [ came across this
paragraph, in Brother Graham's paper:

said that he always watched the reports of re-
cepts in the mission journals, and especially
those from Georgia, and added that he had noted
with sorrow that Georgia's contributions seemed
to be not so large of late Thus do the eyes Of
those far-oh ones, engaged in the Lords work
turn to us of Georgia to see what we are doing
and their hearts lifted up or cast down by

glad to hope, however, that Georgias contribu-
lions are coming up
That's fine paragraph, isn't 1T Calcu-

Missionary, isn't it? Almost let's che cat out

Here we have, in The Indeu, an admission
that the forei On missionary in China, uzaouqs
keeps his eyes on the money! You'd think
he would Arrays have his eyes and his
thought and his prayers on the lost souls, the
perlshing souls, the dying souls of the
