TELLS HOW BIBLE
 SHOULD BE STUDIED
CHRISTIAN REVIVAL SERVICES ARE ATTENDED BY I ARGE
 CONGREGATIONS.

The large crowd at the tent last night listened attentively while Rev. J. Clarence Dawson spoke of "How to study the Bible." Elder Dawson said : The Bible is Gods textbook through which he teaches the human family how to live here and to prepare them for eternity, and if that was so, we should study Gods word with some system, just as we study other text books.
 Reading from Tim 2:l5, that the word should be divided, Elder Daw- son showed that the Bible covered three ages, and that God had given a different law for each age; that the New Testament contained the law that he had given to the people living in this age. In confirmation of these facts, he read from the third chapter of Galatians that the law of Moses was only added because of transgres- sion till Christ should come, and quot ed many other passages of scripture in proof of this assertion.

CONWAY SHOULD
 BE ADVERTISED
ARKANSAS EXHIBIT TRAIN
WILL FURNISH A DMIRA ABLE MEANS OF PUBLICITY, DR.
 MILLAR THINKS.

That Conway should not fail to grasp the opportunity of being repre- sented on the Arkansas on Wheels" train this year, is the opinion of Dr. A. c. Millar, president of Hendrix College, who gave a substantial eyi- denve of his belief in the enterprise this morning by stating that he would subscribe $50 on behalf of Hendrix College toward the expense of secur- Ing representation on the train.
 Teh directors of the Board of Trade are holding a conference this after noon with Fred D. Wore, representing W. B. Folsom, the manager of the ex- hlblt train, and it is thought practic- ally certain that Conway will send two representatives, who will carry with them a fine collection of the pro- ducts of Faulkner county and boun- tlful uspply of literature advertising this city and county.
 Conway ought to advertise more freely her resources and advantages. :" said Dr. Millar today "and I know of no means by which she can do it more effectively and at so small a cost than by being represented on the Ar Kansas on Wheels train. I should like very much to make the trip myself, out is will hardly be possible for me to leave the state at the time the tour IS scheduled. l am anxious, however. that we shall be represented, and I am willing to do everything possible to- ward that end"
 Poultry-raising and truck-garden- ing are the industries that should be encouraged in the immediate vicinity of Conway, Dr. Millar believes, and it is his opinion that our schools may best be developed by encouraging peo- ole to come here and engage in such

industries, at the same time locating where the educational advantages are the best. Little or no cotton should be raised within a radius of several miles of Conway" said Dr. Millar.
 The land is not particularly we'll
 adapted to cotton, but it will produce good strawberries, cantaloupes and similar produce and is admirably situ- ated for successful poultry-raising. The farms near Conway should be di- vlded into five and ten-acre plots. on any one of which, by intensive cultiya- tion and careful management, fam fly may be comfortably supported. Unless this is done, there is little in- ducement We can offer to the family who must earn their living but who desire to enjoy our educational ad- vantages. We have no factories in which they may secure employment and, until our population increases we need no more business houses. There are, however, hundreds of small tracts of land near town, upon which desira- ble families may be induced 10 locate and build homes. believe our com munity and our schools will be devel- oped and fostered best by following such policy and by literally adver- Using throughout the older states we ougth to be able to induce many good people to locate in this vicinity

CENSUS SHOWS
 HEALTHY GROWTH
COUNTY SCHOOL FIGURES
k N U M E ERATION SHOWS IN CREASE OF 419 CHILDREN
 DURING PAST YEAR.

An increase of 419 children of school age in Faulkner county dur ing the past year is shown in the an- nual report of County Examiner J. M. c. Vaughter, which has just been compiled, the school population of the county being 9,357, as compared with o,938 last year. This is a gain of four and two-thirds per cent, and the same percentage of increase applied to the total population of the county. which was 23,708 by the federal cen- sus of 1910, would mean an increase of 1,l0G, or present total population of 24,814.
 Some interesting facts are contain cd n the summary of the statistics compiled by Prof. Vaughter. They show, for instance, that female teach CTS holding second grade licenses are paid higher average salary in the county than those holding first-erade certificates. Ten schoolhouses were erected in the county during the past year at Q cost of $3,641.14. The total number of schoolhouses is 1o4, of which only two are brick, and their aggregate value is $8S,095.79. Dur ing the year S43,411.17 was expended for school purposes, an average of about $6 for each pupil enrolled. Of this amount $34 ,45S.71 was for teach CTS salaries. The total revenue from all sources was $42,0S7.20, the unex- pended balance in the treasury being S1 ,323.97 less on June 30 than it was one year previous. Two institutes were held in the county during the year, attended by PA teachers, the number not attending being 24.
 The enumeration, enrolment and daily attendance figures, with those of last year for comparison, are given below:

DETECTIVE MEETS TRAGIC DEATH

Little Rock, August 4.-Handling re- volvers daily for years, William B. Potts, Bertillion clerk of the Little Rock police force, became bit care less with firearms and thus met his death Thursday afternoon. Potts had just returned to the police headquar- ters after business call down the street, stopping frequently on the way to can't with acquaintances. He went into his office and pulled out Colt S revolver, which he proceeded to clean. Holding the gun in his left hand, with the barrel pointed at his breast, he ap- piled the cloth to the firearm. He thought the gun was unloaded at the time, and slight pressure on the trigger sent a bullet crashing into his heart, causing instant death. The in jured man never spoke after he was shot, and was dead before other off, cers in the room reached his side.

LITTLE NEGRO OPPOSITION
TO DlxOKS FAMOUS PLAY

In Texas little opposition was mani
tested to Thomas Dixon's new play,
"The Sins of The Father" but already
the rumblings of opposition to 1t are
heard in Oklahoma. Negroes of Okla
homa City, who made a strong protest
against ''The Clansman," three years
ago. are preparing to carry the opposi-
tion up the mayor of that city. Henry
l. MacMahon. representative of Mr..
Dixon. who was here today, said:
Negroes are mistaken in their OPP
position to The Sins of The Father.
1t shows the white man, not the negro,
as responsible for the curse of a mix
ed race. | believe Mr.. Dixon, in his
speech before the curtain, will make
this clear, when the play visits the
Auditorium Theatre next Thursday,
March 9ths
Negro opponents of sThe Sins of
The Father" claim the piece excites
race hatred and tends to intensity the
antagonism between the white and
black races. Since they raised mob
|of 5000 of their kind in Philadelphia,
a few years ago, and intimidated the
civic authorities into prohibiting "The
Clansman,' they have made every eff
fort to get all the Dixon plays sup
pressed
In none of the southern states have
the negroes been successful in their
undertakings, but occasionally, in the
north, they have induced weak-kneed
mayors and chiefs of police to stop
these southern dramas The threats Of
the negroes against the Dixon plays,
however. are not seriously regarded.
In the north, they are chiefly political
with the object Of gaining themselves
partisan advantages of some sort.

out of the general fund.
A bazar, together with merchants
lunch, was decided upon for April l..
A motion was made and carried that
the club hire man, by the day, at the

BANK DEPOSITS ASSESSED
TO AID GUARANTY FUND

Oklahoma city, Mar. 4.-The state
banking board has levied an emergency
assessment against state banks for
benefit of the state guaranty fund
equal to per cent of the average daily
deposits for the previous year. The
assessment will be deposited with the
banks, the board taking five certifi-
Gates, each representing one-fifth of
the assessment. According to the
amended banking law, the certificates
draw 4 per cent interest and are pay
able upon demand of the banking
board. The assessment will amount to
about $5O0,0OO.
According to statements made last
night, the purpose of the emergency
assessment is to strengthen the guar
anty fund, which, it is admitted, is in
a badly depleted condition, viewed in
the light of cash as the result of the
Columbia Bank and Trust company
failure in September, 1909
Governor Cruce said last night that
he was not able to say just how much
money the fund contained, but added
that the board wanted to be prepared
for any emergency which might arise
It will be the policy of the new bank
ing board, as soon as the fund may be
checked, to place a statement of the
same in possession of every state bank
er. and follow this with statements
four times each year, to the end that
bankers as well as the public will be
advised as to the funds condition,

BROWN WINS POPULAR
DECISION OVER WOLGAST

New York, Mar. 4. - Valentine
Knockout Brown, the New York
gained a popular decision
over Ad Wolgast, the worlds light
weight champion, in a slashing ten
round bout last night at the National
Sports Club of America. Three weeks
ago Brown fought Wolgast at Phila-
delphia and the crowd of 5000 which
saw him fight last night voted him a
victory. The law requires that no de-
cision be rendered.
Brown forced the fighting from the
start and on the whole gave more
punishment than he received. In
clinches Wolgast showed superior
ringmanship with his infighting. His
tactics were SO rough, however, that
they brought Kisses from the specta-
tors. Neither man was in distress at
|any time during the bout and no blood
was drawn.
In the last round, Brown was backed
toward the ropes as Wolgast rushed
him. They clinched and rolled through
the ropes together and Brown would
have fallen from the ring had not q
cluster of hands showed him back.

UNITED STATES TO ExPENO
s48,OO0,OOO ON IRRIGATION

Chicago, ILL.,, Mar. 4-What reclama-
tion by irrigation means to the eoun-
try is strongly indicated by the recent
announcement of the United States
reclamation service that $4,000, 900 is
to be expended during the next four
years in furthering the work of the
government in reclaiming semi-arid
and arid lands in the west What an
enormous amount this is may perhaps
be more easily comprehended when it
lis remembered that it averages an ex-
penditure of 100000 a month.
While this expenditure would pay
for five battleships. it is in the case
of the reclamation service only a loan
to be returned to the United States
treasury and re-employed for reclama-
|tion work. The settler on a govern
ment project has ten years in which
to pay for his land and water, while
the returns under irrigation are in
many cases so abundant that one or
two crops will repay the cost. The
new markets thus opened are of great
Importance to merchants, manufact.
|urers and financiers, causing them to

RAILROAD HEARING
BEGINS IN MARCH
Corporation Commission is Preparing
List of Witnesses For Inquiry Into
Value Of Railroads.

Oklahoma City, Mar. 4. = Corpora

3. Love and G. A. Henshaw are busy
preparing list of witnesses to be sum
moned for the hearing to determine
the original cost of all railroads in
Oklahoma. The hearings probably will
be held about the middle of March, al
though no definite date has been set
by the commission
Railroad attorneys in the state and
city are asserting that an erroneous
impression has been spread broad
cast, and the idea is being gained by
the people that the roads are fighting
the proposed order and effort of the
commission. These attorneys and
clerical experts declare that such is
not the case, but insist in the state
ments that the railroads will do all
within their power to aid the commits.

know that the Frisco road has always

nation whenever desired, and that we
have done all within our power tc
furnish the commission the data in
this case. One thing is certain, the
railroads cannot furnish what they
have not in their possession
Mr. Kleinschmidt is substantiated ii
his statements by practically eyerJ
railroad attorney in the city. They be

Commissioner Watson stated Thurs
day that the proceedings will be along
a little different lines than before, anC
that an attempt will be made to secure
the cost units at the time the road was
built. In this manner a general ides
of the track cost can be obtained i
not the actual cost at the time. In at
tempting to ascertain the original cos
of all railroads in the state, the com
mission is proceeding under a provi
sion of the constitution. which insists
that such must be done.

thizers to prevent the appearance in

to interfere in any way with the pro-
duction, which was presented last
