COMING At

(FrOm Sunday Advertiser)

81 am a candidate for Delegate to
Congress, not candidate for the Gov
ernorship of Hawaii, and, moreover, /

Candless yesterday, back from his
strenuous dash upon Maui, during which
he believes he accomplished great deal
towards making his election certain.
The report has been in general circu-
lation that Mr.. McCandless knows that
he cannot beat Kuhio on Tuesday, but
is anxious to roll up as big vote as
possible in order that his claim to be
first Democratic Governor of the Ter
ritory may be recognized by Woodrow
Wilson, if the Democrats win on the
mainland.
1t was this report that made McCand-
less declare with some heat that the
statement that he had already sent his
application for the Governorship to Sea-
grit was ga plain lie"

SAYS FAULKNER LIKES
CONSOLIDATION IDEA
PROF. J. L. BOND GIVES OUT IN
TERVIEW ON RETURN FROM
THIS COUNTY.
From Saturdays Daily

From Saturdays Daily
Professor J. L. Bond, supervisor of
rural schools, returned yesterday
from county, where he
made weeks trip in the interest Of
rural school work, and especially the
consolidation of rural school districts,
says today's Little Rock Gazette. In
company with County Examiner J.
M. C. Vaughter, Prof. Bond held a Sc
ries of educational meetings. 1t was
brought out forcibly that one of the
objects of the meetings was to stimu-
late greater interest in good roads.
Il find people very much interested
in the school district good roads plan
that Prof. Vaughter is presenting to
the people in the school districts Of
his county," said Prof. Bond. 1.-The
plan proposed by Prof. Vaughter is
that at meeting of the people of the
school district a committee of two cit
liens of the district shall be appoint
ed, and it shall be the duty of the
committee to solicit and receive sub
'scriptions of money or labor to build
better roads in the school district. All
money or labor subscribed shall be
used under the direction of this COM
mittee. Prof Vaughter urges upon
the people the fact that in building
good roads to the school houses of the
county they are also building good
roads to three-fourths of the churches
Of the county and also that these
roads lead into the main highways
which lead to the markets. The peo-
pie in the districts sited were much
interested in the plan proposed by
Prof. Vaughter.
The advantages Of consolidation
of rural schools were also presented.
There are in that county now II ru-
raj schools which employ two teach
ers, and six which emplay three
teachers. A number of these larger
schools are the result of the school
term for the rural schools is being in
creased and the school buildings are
much better in every way than they
were a few years ago. There is a
goodly number of normal and college
graduates among the teachers of the
county, and the school spirit is good.
When fully understood by the people,
consolidation of small, weak districts
is being favorably received.

MAY CLOSE CLARY
SCHOOL, AT FORDYCE
IT WILL BE SOLD IN DECEM-
BER UNLESS REDEEMED,
SAYS ADVOCATE.

The Clary Training School at For.
dyce, founded by Prof. ]. D. Clary
who was in charge of Hendrix acade-
my here for three years, is likely tC
be closed on account of Indebtedness
according to the Tri-County Advo-
cate. Referring to the school, the
Advocate says in an editorial in its
last issue:
A few weeks ago we published ar
article concerning the closing of the
Clary Training School. So far as we
know nothing has been done to pre-
serve this institution and let it stand
as a monument to the founder of the
school,
We are told that unless this prop
erty is redeemed it will, next Decem.
ber, become the private property of a
citizen Of Fordyce. AS business
proposition we envy this financier
but as a patriotic citizen and booster
of our town we deplore the day wher
our people will allow this valuable
property to go into the hands of any
individual.
This building ought to be used fol
public library or club rooms. These
magnificent grounds ought to bt
made into a beautiful park or public
Fairgrounds. Or best of all, the
Clary Training School should be con
tinued
There are number of men il
Fordyce who owe much to this school
who could easily pay the paltry $3,
600 debt and never miss it.
We suggest a mass meeting for the
purpose of discussing the disposal OF
the building and grounds of the
greatest school in Arkansas-the
school that put Fordyce on the map

RICE farm AT
PALARM PLANNED

Prof. G.. H. Burr spent yesterday
at Palarm, Ii miles south of Conway,
making preliminary surveys on the
plantation of T. L. Daniel to -ascer-
tain whether the land could be con-
verted into a rice farm. Mr.. Daniel
plans to put about 200 acres in rice
at first and if this proves successful
will use as much land as possible for
this product. Prof. Burr says about
400 acres is well adapted to be flood
ed with water, the only question be-
ing the supply of water. This, he
thinks, could probably be obtained by
damming Palarm creek. The rice
plant has to be kept almost inundat-
ed in water until it is ready to reap,
and the field must be arranged so the
water can be drained off at that time.

SUMMER" SESSION
TO CLOSE FRIDAY

The summer session of the Arkan-
sas State Normal, which opened June
10, will close next Friday afternoon.
Examinations will be held the last
two days of the session. The sum-
mer term was expected to run six
weeks, but at the opening large ma
jority of both faculty and students
decided instead of having six weeks
of five days a week work, they would
work six days week for five weeks,
thus doing the same amount of work
in a shorter time.
The attendance, while hardly so
large as was hoped for, was consid-
erably in excess of that of the 1911
summer session. This is regarded as
very favorable, as reports from Fay
etteville state the attendance at the
University summer session is much
smaller than that of last year.

SMITH SUES ASSAILANTS
ALLEGES THREE DEFENDANTS
ASSAULTED HIM WITHOUT
CAUSE.

Suit was filed by Bob Smith in the

Fred Lemm, Peter Nahlen and Jack
Lemm, asking for damages of $3,110
for personal injuries alleged to have

three defendants, sad to have been
committed on May 80 in this county.
The plaintiff charges that the de-
PENDANTS attacked him with a boat

HOGS DYING OF
STRANGE MALADY

On account of numerous COM
plants of hogs dying throughout the
county, Demonstration S. B. Webb has
written to the agricultural depart
ment of the University of Arkansas
asking if an expert cannot be sent
here to inquire into the cause of the
unusual mortality among the swine.
Several farmers have lost every one
of their hogs by some malady, the
cause of which has not yet been def
nitely ascertained. Mr.. Webb, who
examined the carcass Of one of the
animals, is of the opinion that the
disease attacks their respiratory or
gans. 1t seems certain the cause is
not cholera, the usual epidemic
among hogs, but no one seems tc
know exactly what is the nature OF
the disease.

JUDGE ASKED TO
POSTPONE COURT
BACKWARD CROPS URGED
NO REPLY YET RECEIV WE'D
FROM TELEGRAPHIC RE-
QUEST TO LANKFORD.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
At the hour of going to press to-
day no reply had been received from
a petition telegraphed Monday even-
ing to Judge Eugene Lankford of De
Wallis Bluff, requesting him to post
pone for one week the July term of
the Faulkner circuit court, which is
to meet here next Monday, July Is.
The fact that farmers are behind
with their work on account of back
ward season was urged as reason
for the postpOnement, the petition be-
ing signed by number of local mer-
chants and some of the attorneys.
The request was telegraphed to
Judge Landlord Monday night, but
no answer had been received here
this afternoon.
Some opposition to the postpone
ment is being expressed, but no re-
monstrance has been sent to the
judge as yet. Those who object claim
it will be an extra expense of be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 to the coun-
ty, on account of the fact that the ju-
rors and witnesses have all been
summoned and it will be impossible
to notify them at this time should
the postponement be granted.

TO FORM CIRCUIT
OF COUNTY FAIRS
GROUP OF FOUR PLANNED
FAULKNER, WHITE, OUACHITA
AND CENTRAL ARKANSAS
FAIRS TO COOPERATE.

-or1 tuesdays Daily.
While attending the meeting of
county fair officers at Little Rock
yesterday, Manager j. A. King of
the Faulkner county fair took the
first steps toward the organization of
circuit of four county fairs, in
which the local assoc: alton will be in
cluded. Secretary j. F. Gillespie of
the Central Arkansas fair at Carlisle
is heartily in favor of the plan and
said that the association will be glad
to join in a circuit. Two other as
sociations whose dates .'fit in right
are the White county at Searcy and
the Ouachita county at Camden,
and these, it is thought, will join
with the Carlisle and Conway enter
prises n forming a circuit.
Under this arrangement purses
ageregating from $4,000 to $4,000
will be offered for horse racing and
some of the best strings of racing
stock in the southwest will be at
tracted to the circuit, thus insuring
high-class events. Carnival attrac-
tions of the better sort can be booked
jointly for the four fairs and the in
ferior class of shows can be elimi-
mated from all of them. Manager
King IS now in correspondence with
the officials Of the other fairs and he
is confident the circuit will be COM
pleted within short time.
At yesterdays meeting a perma-
nent organization of county fair as
sociatlons IN the state was effected
by the election of T. NJ. Jeffords, in
charge of the boys corn club work,
as pres. dent, and H. G. Spaulding of
Pine Bluff secretary and treasurer.
The new organization will be known
as the Arkansas County Fairs Asso-
citation. Twelve fairs were repre-
sented at the meeting and efforts will
be made to enroll the entire 40 coun-
ty and district fairs as members.

NEED $4,000 FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL
TO ASK SUBSCRIPTIONS
\ SUPT r. H. CANNON WRITES
OF CONDITION AND NEED
OF THE SCHOOL.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

The records for the past year show
a total of 688, with an enrolment OF
1856 in the high school and 53@ in the
grammar grades. With only eleven
teachers, including the superintend-
ent, only one who has had experience
in school work can appreciate the
crowded condition that prevailed IN
the school with such an enrolment as
this.
Of the above enrolment, 13 gradu-
ated from the high school. A few
others from both the grammar and
high school grades will doubtless
move away or drop out of school
from one cause or another; but we
may reasonably expect that enough
will move in to more than offset the
loss from the above causes, while the
normal increase in the primary
grades will approximate 60 at least.
Thus it is seen that the enrolment
next year will, under normal condi-
tions. run between 725 and $50.
To meet the needs of this army of
boys and girls the local school board
has the biggest job on its hands OF
any similar body of men in the town.
The financial condition of the board
is well known by all citizens who
have been interested enough to n
form themselves regarding the mat
ter. l am sure the board is doing its
best to meet the demands. To say
nothing of the need for a new build
ing, l need at least five additional
teachers. The board can give me on
ly one.
We have been having only an eight
months term. 1t is the purpose Of
the board to run the school E'ne
months next year and thus put the
school on an equal footing with other
schools throughout the state. To do
this, however, it will be necessary to
raise some $4,000 by private means,
as the revenues OF the district are
not sufficient to meet outstanding OBJ
legations and pay the running ex-
penses Of the school,
This is written in the hope that it
may help to make the work of these
men lighter who are laboring so
earnestly to meet the demands which
the public has placed upon them. In
the next few weeks the matter of
raising the needed funds to help run
the school another year will be pre-
sented to the taxpayers and all who
are interested in the welfare of the
public school in Conway. The work
will be done privately. Meet those
who have the matter in hand with a
will to help. R. H. CANNON.
