What is a cold in the head L?
Nothing to worry about if you treat
it with Ely's Cream Balm. Ne
elected, the cold may grow into
catarrh, and the air-passages be so
infamed that you have to fight for
every breath. 1t is true that Ely's
Cream Balm masters catarrh,

Little Rock, March 17-"All the doubt any one might have of Little Rock not being able to care for the Confederate reunion will be dispellcd if they come to Little Rock and nave the plans of the committee gone over for them,"' states Adjutant General
 w. E. Mikle of New Orleans, who ar rived in Little Rock Thursday to spend several days going over the plans and the grounds, ''and 1 can state, after making careful review, that l never saw the reunion plans so far advanced at this time as they art in Little Rock. Your committees have organized on business basis and are doing grand work. They are not go- ing chasing after some hobby, but working out the plans as they should be. 1 believe there will be over l00,- 900 visitors in Little Rock during the
 reunion, and the plans show the city will be prepared and able to care for

CONVENTION AFTERMATH.

Four extra coaches were carried on train No. 103 to Little Rock last night for the accommodation of the Wood men. The train was crowded to it's capacity when it left here.
 The badges provided by the local committee were the hit of the conven- ton. Thousands of people all over the state will have their attention direct ed to the Conway schools by the but ton which bears pictures of the four educational institutions here.
 The Bank of Conway stayed open until after o'clock last evening in order to cash the checks for mileage and perdiem paid to the delegates. Each delegate received SIS and four cents for each mile travelled to and from Conway and his home, the checks averaging about S25. Over 5000 was paid out to the delegates.
 Clerk F. M. Morgan is taking his first long breath for about 10 days. He has been as busy as an ant on a hot rock since several days before the convention met.
 The Conway delegates to the con vention were w. A. Isgrig, F. M. Nor ga nand R. B. McCulloch. MT. Isgrig made the speech nominating MT. Me Culloch as a delegate to the sovereign head camp and his address was re- garded by many as being one of the best nominating speeches made on the floor
 Several of the delegates did not start for their homes until this morn ing, in order to avoid night travel.
 About 200 extra copies of yester- day's daily Log Cabin Democrat were bought by the delegates who wanted to take home report of the conven- ton proceedings.

PLEASED WITH
 CONWAY AS HOST
WOODMFN ARE DELIGHTED
DELEGATES LEAVE FOR THEIR HOMES WITH WORDS OF
 PRAISE FOR CITY.

Nothing but words of praise for Conway were heard from the dele gates to the eighth biennial conven- ton. Woodmen of the World and Woodman Circle, the most of whom departed for their homes last night, after three busy days spent in Con- way. Several of the visitors were heard to declare that the convention was decidedly the most pleasant and profitable ever held by the Woodmen in this state, and practically everyone expressed great appreciation for the manner in which the city's guests had been entertained.
 Just prior to adjournment yester- day afternoon resolution thanking the people and the Woodmen of Con- way for the hospitality was introduc- ed and before it was put to vote several nice talks were made by some of the leadinf delegates expressing their admiration of the manner in which the large number of visitors had been cared for, the resolution be- ing adopted by a unanimous vote.
 The citizens of Conway apparently al lfeel that they have been fully re- paid for the labor and expense occas- toned by the entertainment of the Woodmen, both on account of the pleasant association and acquaint- ances they have formed and the good the meeting will do for them in adver- Using the city to the people of the state.

NEW ENTERPRISE WILL SOON OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN

The Conway Steam Laundry is the newest enterprise to be launched in Conway and will probably be ready for business within a few weeks. A new building will be erected on the Halter lots near the city powerhouse by Halter Brothers, in which will be installed the very latest machinery for laundry work. The new firm is composed of A. H. White, J. w. and c. B. Akin. The new firm has secured the services of an expert laundryman and state they will guarantee just as good work as any laundry anywhere puts out.
 Conway has long needed steam laundry and the citizen should liber- ally support it. e@

 Little Rock, March 1.-The house this morning passed the senate bill, appropriating $107000 for mainten- ance and improvement of the State Normal School at Conway. None of the items in the bill was cut down, but an amendment by the house com mittee on education itemizing the sal aries to be paid the teachers makes it necessary for the bill to go back to the senate for concurrence in this amendment.
 That the senate will concur in the amendment is a foregone conclusion and the bill is now virtually law.

Little Rock, March 17.-"Pitch
 their stuff out into the. streets and
 lock up their shops if they insist on
 showing the Johnson-Jeffries fight pie
 tures," Governor Donaghey Thursday
 afternoon telephoned to the office of
 Sheriff B. L. Roberts. Within two
 minutes afterwards Deputy Sheriff J.
 J. Hawkins walked up to the Dixie
 moving picture show and laid down
 the price of admission. The officer
 did not get in, however, until he had
 passed before Buck Massie, exrace
 track man who has charge of the fight
 pictures, which have been hitting the
 high spots in Arkansas wherever the
 officers would permit them to be
 shown. Massie had made Little Rock
 here. He knew the officer and i'm
 mediately rang down the curtain.
 When the officer went inside pictures of wrestling match were being shown and Massie was berating Ar kansas from governor to messenger boy. He had advertised the fight pie lures and the afternoons business looked to be prosperous, but Governor Donaghey was on the job.
 Adjutant General Green of the Ar kansas National Guard first visited l the show and ordered the pictures talk en off, but Massie defed him to do his "durndest." Governor Donaghey then acted and Deputy Sheriff Hawkins. re
 mained on the job to see no further effort was made to put on the pictures. While Governor Donaghey was get ting in his work the city administra- ton waSSalso very busy. Alderman Volmer called on Massie and informed Fhim the city'would not permit the ex-- hibitions. City Detectives and police (rnen were, also sent to the moving pie ture show to see that nothing was do- | ing. Massie says he will stay the week out with his wrestling pictures,
 as it is not against the law to breathe
 in Arkansas.
 Later in the afternoon Governor Donaghey appeared at the theater in person and advised the management that the prize fight pictures must not
 be shown, and the manager agreed
 not to do so, but gave notice that he
 would bring action against the gover-
 nor for damages for stopping the per- | formance.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, March 17.-At 12:30 this afternoo nthe Little Rock city council met in special session and passed an ordinance creating board of censors of moving picture shows, the board consists of the mayor, chief of police and city attorney.
 At 8 o'clock this afternoon the pie ture men will apply to the chancery court for an injunction to prevent the city from censoring the pictures, but the passage of the ordinance will, it is thought, preclude the granting ol the injunction. The council acted iii order to be provided with legal means of stopping the exhibition of moving pictures of the Jeffries-John- son fight.

"But perhaps the greatest wrong
that is done to the owners Of visible
property is from the general with
holding from the duplicate Of money,
notes, stocks, bonds and credits. The
employment of professional tax In
quisitors has brought results COM
paratively trifiing, and a large part
of these never reaches the treasury.
The owners of securities bearing on
ly four or five per cent, which is the
general rule, simply will not return
them to be taxed three to four per
cent, which is the common rate In the
cities where most of such property is
owned. But let the tax rate be re-
duced, as by the true valuation of all
other property 1t will be, many think
to as low as one per cent as has been
the case In other states, and the chief
cause Of the trouble is removed. The
sense Of injustice is gone. Men are,
at least, less likely to resort to SUBJ
terfuge or false returns TO escape
what they must regard just and
fair.'
