GOOD ACTIONS.

Every good act is charity. Civ
ing water to the thirsty is charity.
Removing stones and thorns from
the road is charity. Exhorting your
fellow men to virtuous deeds is
charity. Smiling in your brothers
face is charity. Putting a wanderer
IN the night path is charity. A mans
true wealth is the good he does in
this world. When ne dies mortals
will ask what property has he left
behind him. but angels will inquire,
What good deeds hast thou sent
before thee2"-Mohammed.

CHANCFRY SESSION ENDS
DOCKET CLEARED OF NUMER. | GUS CASES IN TERM OF
 THREE DAYS.

After hearing arguments of the at torneys on either side, Judge J. G.. Wallace in chancery court this morn ing dismissed the petition of Joe Leinhart and others against the Faulkner County Warehouse Compa- ny and I. G. Williams, asking for the appointment of a receiver for the company. The petitioners contended that the affairs of the company had been improperly managed; that Will Hams had been inefficient and that the concern was in an insolvent condition. The respondents, Williams and the directors of the company, Introduced evidence to show the company was solvent, owing only about S540, and having assets of several hundred dol lars in excess of this amount, in addi- tion to the real estate on which the warehouse is located, which IS unen- cumbered. The defendants also claim ed that the action Of the plaintiffs had interfered with a good sale of the company's property here.

DOUBLED EFFORTS
 ON FARM URGED
FAST WORK IS NECESSARY
HARROWS AND CULTIVATORS SHOULD BE USED, SAYS DEM
 DESPERATION AGENT.

Farm demonstrators are urged in circular just issued by Field Agent w. B. Mercier to redouble their ef- forts on account of the late start this year and endeavor to make up for poor preparation by thorough culti- vation. The use of harrows and cul- tivators is strongly advised as time saver. Mr. Mercier's circular fol- lows:
 The unusually wet winter and spring interfered with the blowing and the best preparation of an ideal seed bed for all crops For this req son it will be necessary to redouble efforts to give the crops the very best cultivation in order to overcome some of the disadvantages resulting from any lack of preparation
 The harrow or weeder should be used on the seed bed before the seed comes up and again after coming up. This will prevent any crust and the germination of an early crop of weeds and grass, which always proves most troublesome in cleaning the crop.
 If the ground has become packed from hard rains, as will be the case in many places, the first blowing or cultivation may be rather deep, but all the later cultivation should be shallow. Rows on uplands should be fiat, the idea being to allow as nearly level cultivation as is practicable. Rows on lowlands should not be any higher than is necessary for proper drainage.
 Cultivators, especially the spring tooth, can be used on rather wet land, and should be run once a week when possible to get in the field. This will insure growth of crop and destruction of weeds. The use of cultivators in- stead of sweeps or single blows is rec commended where it is possible to get them. This will allow one man to cul- tivate from five to eight acres per day, hence enable him to get over an crops at least once every 10 days.
 The main things that should al- ways be sought in making any crop are to promote best growth of plant, to conserve moisture, to furnish air to the roots, to keep crops free from weeds and grass, and to avoid cutting feed roots. These can only be attain ed by frequent shallow cultivation un- til the crops are made.

In Saturday nights debate the judges were three attorneys of Jackson, and the Hendrix debaters not only gained the decision, but Mr. Sage was de- clared the best individual debater of either team. The defeat is the first encountered by a Millsaps team this session, their representatives having won four other debates.
 The subject for discussion was Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine Should be Retained as a Permanent Part of the Foreign Policy of the United States" Hendrix held the off, frmative side of the question.
 The next annual debate between the two colleges will be held at Con- way one year hence.

Sl2,000 LOSS IN
 FIRE AT CABOT

Caobt, May 21-Five frame busi- ness buildings were destroyed here by fire about o'clock Sunday morn ing, the flames originating in the store of King & Harris, general mer- chandise, and resulting in a loss of about $12,OO0, partially covered by insurance.
 It is thought that burglars entered the store and after stealing a quan- tity of merchandise, set fire to the building. Only the heroic work of a bucket brigade formed by the citizens prevented the complete destruction of the entire business district.
 The estimated losses and insurance follow: King & Harris, loss $4,OOO, insurance $3,000; T. J. Adkins, con- fectionery, loss S1,200, insurance $500; w. T. Bolts. general merchan- disc, loss $3,400, insurance $1 1,5OO; Thompson & Adams, drug store, olss 5000, insurance $500; w. L. Angus & Co.,, confectionery, loss $500, noin- surance.

CONWAY SWAMPS
 M0RRIlT0N TEAM

Conway high school piled up a score which will probably stand as a record in the secondary division of the Arkansas Athletic Association, when Morr;lton nigh school was de- feated yesterday in six innings by a score of 32 to ?. The visitors were outclassed from the beginning and tried out nearly every player on the team in the box, but when F Con- way runs were marked up in the sixth the game was mercifully brought to a close.
 Coach Tate today arranged for two games with Pine Bluff high school to be played as Q double-header here Saturday. If Conway high wins both of these games it will practically cinch the secondary championship for another year.

l. & R. TANCLE IS
 STILL UNRAVfLED BANKING BILL IS DEAD
AITTHOR DECIDES COST IS roc GREAT TO INITIATE THE
 MEASURE.

Little Rock, May 18.-
 Unfruitful is the day whose low oe-
 scending sun Sees no trouble, for the l. anu N'
 begun.
 Mandamus, injunction, legal opln. ion. and surrender mark the path o1 the I. and R. amendment. The farth- CT the citizens go in their law-maKlng capacity, the deeper they get into the mire of legal entanglement. Many think that the complications arising through the efforts to put the amend ment into operation will have the et- feet of forcing a constitutional con vention to be called by the next legs lature.
 As a result of Attorney General Norwood's decision that the Warnock banking bill, initiated by the author at a considerable expense, IS not m proper form, and cannot therefore be certified out, Mir. Warnock has decid- ed not to push the matter any furth- CT. He will insteal go before the leg islature in an effort to secure bank ing bill, and officials of the Arkansas Banking Association say they Will aia him in securing a banking law, with the exclusion of the depositors' guar anty feature, which is obJectionaDle to them. The measure will not be sent out for publication by the secre- tary of state, and this will save the state $271.25 per county for the cost of publication, total of S2o,343.fo;
 Little Rock officials have agreed that since the attorney general has raised the question of the legality of submitting more than three amend ments at one time, 1t will be best to bring the matter to an issue and nave it decided by the supreme court be- fore the election. The bond and re- call amendments, the last two filed, are the two that would be knocked out should this opinion prevail.
 The attorney general is requiring certified check for $100 as a guaran- ty for the publication of petitions for local measures, pending a decision by the supreme court on the question of their submission. A check for $1O0 was put up Friday by Claude Ringo to secuer the publication of the peti- tion for Sunday baseball in Little Rock. The Hot Springs News agrees to publish free of cost the Garland county racing bill. The secretary of state has been manadmused to certify out the Dallas county site removal and the Montgomery county site re- moval petitions, and other proceed ings of similar character, may be had. He has agreed to certify out any local petition if the cost of pub- lication is guaranteed.
 The Camden liquor petition cannot be certified out, because it provides that it was to have been voted on at the general city election April 2. The petition is therefore dead.
 The official publication of the pro- posed measures will begin next week. The Western Newspaper Union has prepared supplements including all of the measures, which are to be fur nished the various newspapers of the state. Tn many instances more than one paper in county will publish them, and by agreement divide the pay. There is no available fund for

l. & R. BILLS TO
 COME NEXT WEEK

Both the Log Cabin Democrat and the Arkansas Farmer have been in- structed by Secretary of State Sarle w. Hodges to publish the measures referred to the voters next Septem- Der under the initiative and referen- duff amendment, and the first publ- lation of the proposed laws will ap- pear next week The bills make to- tai of P columns of nonpariel type and a four-page supplement will be required to carry them. The Turner Jacobson bill occupies 16 1-2 columns of this amount, and if it were not for the reference of this exceptionally long measure, the cost of publishing the bills initiated by the people would be very slight. Besides the T.-J. bill, the statewide prohibition bill, the election bill and the textbook com mission bill, and three constitutional mendments-short session, recall and municipal bond-have been ini- tiated by the voters.

 GIVEN DIPLOMAS CENTRAL SESSION ENDS
MAYOR YLOR OF LITTLE ROCK DELIVERS ADDRESS
 ITO GRADUATES.

With the award of diplomas to five cises this morning, the present years work at Central College came to close. The stock phrase, "the most successful year in the history of the institution" is indisputably true of the session just ending at Central, the first under the administration of Dr. J. w. Conger. Dr. Conger has effected a revolution for better things since becoming the head of the college, and words of praise are heard every where for the splendid success he has made. The attendance has been greater than ever before and the work accomplished the most effective, faculty and students striving earnest ly throughout the session to accom- plish the greatest good.
 Never before have such brilliant exercises marked a commencement at Central. Thirteen different programs have been rendered, everyone charac- teriZed by evidences of perfect train .ng, marked ability and a desire to present something of genuine inter est and pleasure to the audiences. I Monday and Tuesday, deserve special mention. Not only were the audiences delighted, but commencement visitors who have attended scores of similar events were enthusiastic in their praise of the recitals.
 The graduating exercises this morn ing were impressive. After chorus, "Salut d'Amour," by the Melapoia, with violin quartette obligato, the in- vocation was led by Gen. w. E. At kinson of Clarksville Miss Florence Jarbeau, who graduated in the liter arV department, read an inter esting thesis on "Commencement-lts Terms and Customs" and Miss Ma bel Legg, one of the piano graduates, rendered Liszt's "Rhapsodie Hon. groise" Dr Conger then announced the winners of the contests for the year and awarded gold medals as fol- lows:
 Scholarship-Miss Eva Irby of Blue Mountain.
 Housekeeping-Miss Mary Boyd of Blissville.
 Art-Miss Anna Mills of Little Rock.
 Music-Miss Ethel Bailey of Pres colt.
 President Conger, after brief ad- dress, delivered diplomas to the fol- lowing:
 Bachelor of Arts-Miss Florence Jarbeau of Conway and Miss Mamie Jones of Atkins.
 Piano-Miss Mabel Legg of Con- way and Miss Tommy Lucy of Fl Paso.
 Domestic Science-Miss Myrtle Woodruff of Howell.
 After a piano solo by Miss Lucy, Dr. Conger introduced Mayor Chas. E. Taylor of Little Rock, who de- Gvered the baccalaureate address. MT. Taylor's subject was "The Hap py Life" A liberal education, he de- clared, is one of the greatest produc- CTS of happiness, but he mentioned many other factors of the happy life, the exercise of common sense, the contented home and the enjoyment Of woman's God-given rights The greatest happiness, he said, is found in service and she who does most for others leads a life of the truest hap piness. Mayor Taylor's address abounded in apt illustrations and ep- pigrammatic truisms.
 At the conclusion of the address, the students stood and sang the col lege hymn, Rev. J. J. Hurt pro-
