DEFENDS FENCE
 LAW FOR COUNTY
CAPTAIN MARTIN WRITES
SAYS FARMERS OPPOSING IT ARE AGAINST THEIR OWN
 INTERESTS.
EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT {:

EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:
 I regret to see there is an effort to to defeat the four-wire fence bill now before the house. It seems to me that every time an effort is made to bene- fit the farmer some of them are up in arms against it and raise great howl about any effort for his benefit. Do you not all remember how they fought the road tax and how hand it was to carry the tax, and now how is tt? The tax is voted almost unanl- mously, althou ugh the work is not car ried on as we'll as it should be. Do you not remember that an effort was made to get the quorum court to make an appropriation to help the govern nent carry on the demonstr3 ton work for the farmers of our county, and that the county union at their meeting at Guy voted against the proposition? The quorum court at their meeting in October also voted Gown the resolution by a large ma iority-only seven voting for it-and the court was composed nearly all of farmers.
 The boil weevil will soon be with us and then how about raising cot ton to buy your supplies? Is it not time to turn over a new leaf and go to raising your own supplies at home? Have you not tried for years to raise hogs in the woods? Have you done 1t? Has not the old method been a failure? Yes, every one that has been an observer knows that it has been a failure.
 How much corn does the razorback destroy each year? l guess as much as he is worth Is not the keeping up of your fences more costly than keep ing a few good hogs to make your meat? Is not one good blooded hog worth two or three razorbacks? Have I not tsood and told you for years that you ought to raise your living at home-that you ought to raise better stock? You can not do this and let your stock run at large.
 The bill does not prohibit horses, cattle and sheep from running at large. Is there not good many more dogs in the county than sheep? Can any one tell me why the farmer ob- iects when some one is trying to dc him good? Every progressive farmer I have talked with says it is best to raise the hog in the enclosure. 1 feel that I am trying to do the best thing for the farmers interest.

The stock of merchandise of the Peoples Mercantile Company, which has conducted a general store here for the past year, has been purchased oy Martin X Harton. An inventory cf the goods is now being made, dur Ing which time the store will be clos ed. The Peoples Mercantile Company was organized by members of the Farmers Union in this county, who have decided to liquidate the business. Martin X Harton are one of the oldest mercantile firms in the city and for the past two or three years have been gradually retiring from business, but their purchase of the Peoples con- rany is taken to indicate they will again actively enter the general mer- chandise field here

The fourth number in the course of "Once-a Month Meetings for Men" will be given at the Baptist church tomorrow afternoon at 3:3o o'clock. All men in and near the city of Con- way are invited to be present.
 The address tomorrow afternoon will be delivered by Dr. !. s. Shibley of Bonneville, Ark, who is sometimes spoken of as "the old man eloquent" :" His subject will be "Humanity's Call to Humanity" and as he is one of the most distinguished physicians of the state, it is safe to predict that his address will be thoroughly inter- esting.
 Dr. Shibley is at present the eff cient superintendent of the Arkarsas tuberculosis sanitarium, an institu ton which was established near Bonneville under an act passed by the last general assembly. The institu- ton has already accomplished won ders, and its success is in a very large measure due to the wise adlainstra- tion of Dr. Shibley.
 Dr. George S. Brown of Conway is che of the trustees of the santarium, and pr. Shibley will be his guest dur ing his stay in Conway.

POSTMASTER GETS
 IN BANKING CAME
WANTSAPOSTAL SAVINGS
ASKS DEPARTMENT TO ESTAB- LISH POSTOFFICE BANK
 IN CONWAY.

Postmaster o. J. Owen is the lat est aspirant to enter banking circles in Conway Fearing that With only three new institutions in process of organization, there would still be dearth of financial facilities in the 'lty, he has written to the postmaster general asking for the establishment of postal savings bank here. The postal savings banks in the United States were established January this year, only one being apportioned Co each state, the one in Arkursas be- ng located in the Stuttgart postoffice. It is understood to be the pn pose of the government to establish many more of these institutions, and Post master Owen has filed application for one for Conway.
 The three new banks are he sub iect of much talk on the streets and so far as can be learned from inter tested parties there is no disposition tn the part of any of the promoters to withdraw from the field, the indi- cations today being that both trust companies and the national bank will actually open for business. The pro- moters of the Union Trust Company, which was incorporated yesterday,
 
 are said to be making active prepara- tions to secure a business site, though tt will probably not begin busi- ness until the charter for the First National Bank, which IS to be m affiliated concern, is received from the United States treasury depart nent. The stockholders of the First National Bank are daily expecting a telegram from Washington stating that the charter has been granted.
 The organizers of the other trust company, planned at meeting of sev- eral leading stockholders in the two old banks, are going ahead securing inscriptions for this institution, which they declare will be ready to hegin business within a few weeks. One of the canvassing committee said today that, without counting a half dozen of the wealthier citizens who are expected to take the largest num- Ger of shares, and moulding only those who had asked for 5000 or less, over $25,000 had already been subscribed, to be paid in full on de- mand The half-dozen others, he eX- plained, had already stated they would take all of the S50,000 left af- ter the subscription list had been open to the public for week, and ali of them wanted 5000 or more each in the company.
 Despite the apparent determination of the two interests, some of the more conservative citizens are predicting that the promoters will unite on one strong bank and trust company. They state there is good field here for one such company, but little hope for the success of more tban one.
