The mass meeting of men in

court house at 4 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon to hear reports from
all teams in the field, enjoyed
good returns from the initial
days canvass, about 5000 hav-
ing been pledged for the main
tenance of a Y. M. c.. A. here
for the current year.
A provisional committee of
nine good citizens was named at
this meeting. They are DR.. w.

house, Ben White, j. w. Grubbs,

are called to meet this Wednes-
day afternoon in the office of
Phillips, Hillhouse & Boyce to
organize and formulate plans
for the year.
While State Secretary McCul-
lev of Little Rock does not be-
lieve that an effective and sue
cessful Y. M C. A. can be main
tanned for less than $500 per
year and should have $4,000,
those behind the movement are
certain that many subscriptions
will be raised from the amounts
first pledged and there are many
willing helpers, who have doubt

Prospects are bright for the
raising of the necessary fnan-

thusiasm in the cause blind
them to the facts and conditions

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-Little
interest is being taken in the
meeting of the State Democratic
Committee which holds a meet
ing here tomorrow. Absolutely
nothing has been intimated to
Secretary Bruce T. Bullion as
to business which will be
brought before the committee.
The rules adopted by the last
Democratic State Convention re-
quire the meeting of the Central
committee at this time for the
purpose of calling the state pri-
mary, which the rules also re-
quire to be held on the last We'd
nesday in March, which will be
the 9th.
It is customary for the differ
ent candidates to make some
maneuvers in the meeting
which will give them a better
chance, and as any statement
regarding them would lessen
their effectuality, the candi-
dates are doing no talking.
Whatever moves they will
make will be kept secret until
the time Of the meeting in or
der that the adherents of the
other candidates have no oppor-
tunity to checkmate them.

Talk at Mckinley of Return
Race Between firStS and
SeCOndS-The Scores.

There were only four points between
tn, seniors and sophomorcs when the
scores of the annual inter class road
race OF Mckinley High School were
added up yesterday afternoon. The
seniors were on the long end of the
total, but they were so hard pressed
by the sophs that enthusiasts Of the
latter class are talking of challenging
for return match. Whether this will
be done, and whether the seniors would
consent to run another race, are qucs-
tions on which there Is considerable
difference of opinion at the school.
The course was from the Aquarium
to Thomas Square, the same as that
over which the first kamehamcha pu

sec, compares very favorahly with
the mark of 10 Nat hung up by j. Jones

not generally expected that the High
runners would cover the distance in
such fast order
The seniors took the race with 40
points. sophs A. freshmen 32 and ju-

line were given places, first counting
