BIG STORE ADOPTS
ONE PRICE POLICY
FRA AUENTHAL & SCHWARZ IN.
AUGURATE CAMPAIGN FOR
INCREASED TRADE.

Adopting as their slogan, lone low
price to all" Frauenthal & Schwarz,
the big general merchants of this city,
have inaugurated vigorous cam
palgn to increase the volume of their
business during the approaching sea-
son. In both of the county papers
this week appears four-page an
nouncement and price list issued by
this progressive firm, and thousands
of copies of the advertisement will
also be distributed throughout the
trade territory of Conway.
The one-price system has been
adopted as a means of enabling the
sales force to handle a greater vol
ume of business in less time. "The
selling price will appear on every ar
ticle," said Charles Frauenthal, head
of the sales department of the stores,
land every salesman will quote this
one price to every customer. This
will eliminate all jockeying and hag-
Cling and enable our statesmen to dis
patch business much more rapidly
than heretofore. In fixing one price
we must necessarily make it the low
est price, and We expect to make up
the reduced profits by an increased
volume of business. The plan, which
| am sure will be profitable to our
customers, will also | think, be an
advantage to us"
Mr.. Frauenthal said the adoption
of the one cash price plan would not
in any manner interfere with the pol
icy of the firm in extending liberal
credits to such of their customers as
desired to purchase their supplies on
time
The firm of Frauenthal & Schwarz,
which has been in business here for
a third of century, and is the oldest
house in Conway, now occupies nine
| big buildings and warehouses and is
one of the largest business institu-
tiOns in the entire state. They at
tribute the steady and rapid growth
in their trade to their policy of alb
solute fairness and hberality toward
their customers and to the fact that
they have consistently held up the
quality of their merchandise and at
the same time sold their goods on n
! close margin.

CENTRAL INCREASES
HER ENROLMENT
NINETEENTH SESSION ON
ORGANIZATION OF CLASSES
CONSTITUTES FIRST DAYS
WORK AT COLLEGE.

With an enrolment showing a con-
siderable increase over that of last
year the nineteenth annual session of
Central College was begun today.
Following chapel exercises at The us
ual hour this morning, the day has
been devoted to the organization of
classes, so that regular class work
may be begun tomorrow.
Although the capacity of the
home has been largely increased
during the summer by the conversion
of several halls and teachers rooms
into students quarters, practically
every available room is either occu-
pied or has been reserved by students
who will enter later In addition to
this two cottage homes" are being
used this year, instead of one as
heretofore, and both are filled with
young lady students.
The formal opening exercises will
be held in the college auditorium to-
hlght. Snort addresses will be de-
livered by Rev. Ben Cox of Little
Rock, Rev Otto Wilmington, pastor
of the First Baptist church of this
city, Rev. C. S. LEVEL, state secre
tary of the B. Y. P. u. and Sunday
school work and Rev. Walters of
Dardanelle, and announcements made
by the president, DR.. j. w. Conger.
The addresses will be interspersed
with music by members of the con-
servatory faculty. Following the
opening exercises an informal recep-
ton to the new students and faculty
members will be given in the college
parlors. The public is cordially in
vited to attend.

new BANK TO BE
ORGANIZED HERE
TO OPEN WITHIN 60 DAYS
BUILDING PURCHASED FRO.
GOV. DONAGHEY FOR NEW
INSTITUTION.

That a new banking institution. to
be financed by local capital, will open
for business in Conway within the
next 60 days became known here to-
day. Although none of the details of
the organization have as yet been
completed, the general outline of the
plans of the promoters have been
practically agreed upon.
"The aFrmers' State Bank" will be
the name of the new institution.
which will have capital stock of
$5O,00O. S. G. Smith, Frank Farr-
and G. w. Adkisson, who are among
the principal subscribers of stock
will, it is understood be the officers.
The organizers yesterday purchas-
ed from Governor George w. Dona-
ghey the corner building on Front
and North streets, now occupied by
N. c. Martin 4 Sons, and this will be
the location of the new bank. The
purchase price of the property was
$4,000. Work of remodeling the in
terror of the building and construct
ing the vaults will be begun at once
and rushed to completion, in order
that the bank may be opened for bus
mess as early as possible.
Those interested in the organiza
ton today stated that the Farmers
State Bank will not be antagonistic
to the two banks already established
here. The new institution, they
state, will cater largely to a class of
business which has not been deveI-
oped by the older banks and will work
in harmony with its rival institutions
along all legitimate banking lines

creasing wealth of Faulkner county.
especially among its farming constit-
uency, fully justifies the establish
ment of third bank which. they
think, without injuring or decreasing
the business of either of the older in
stitutions, will be able to make a reas-
enable profit for its own stockholders.
The retirement of Assistant Cashier
Frank Farris from the Bank of Con-
way, with which he has been associat
ed for number of years, will leave a
vacancy which will probably be filled
by the promotion of Second Assistant
Cashier Opie E. Hartje. Mr.. Farris.
however, will remain in his present
position for several weeks and his
successor will be selected at some
time before he assumes his new posi-
ton.
Efforts to organize third bank in
Conway have been made at several
times in the past, but none of the pro-
posed institutions have heretofore
been carried beyond the promotion
stage. Last fall charter was issued
by the national comptroller of the
currency for the First National Bank
and about the same time articles of
incorporation for the Union Trust
Company were drafted and filed, but
neither of the institutions were ever
opened for business. 1t is stated,
however, the new bank now in pro-
cess of organization is a certainty and
there is no doubt of its opening as
soon as the necessary arrangements
can be perfected,

leys and circling hills which sheltered
outlaws and desperadoes.
This fine work. was executed be.
tween the years 1899 and 1901 by reg.
iments of Highland militia. With the
exception of the level in one valley
called Gienmacnass the engineer was
not enabled to take advantage of a
single vale. AS rule the glens in
these mountains run from east to
west, while the direction of the road
is from north to south, hence the
latter keeps for nearly the whole dis
lance a solitary mountain course at
the height of 1000 or 100 feet above
the sea and but seldom descends to
any of the valleys.
The road was most skilfully en-
gineered as regards gradients in order
to render it passable for artillery.
There are but few parts of it which
are not rideable by the cyclist mount
ed on a machine equipped with three
speeds. That the work was effected
in the most durable manner is clear
from the fact that although very little
has been spent on maintenance during
the last half century, the road still
presents through boys and morasses
a smooth and level surface and sub
stratum perfectly strong and well
rounded.

Suppression Of the Rebellion of

be as famous as 1t deserves to be, for
the grandeur of the scenery through
which it passes is hardly surpassed in
the British isles.
Every schoolboy has read of the
roads constructed by Marshal Wade
to facilitate the pacification of the
highlands of Scotland after the Ja
cobite rising of 1715, says the English
Queen. Wade employed 500 soldiers
in the work, who received sixpence a
day extra pay and whom he facetious
ly termed his highwaymen. Few il
any histories, however, record the
fact that similar works were under
taken in Ireland in connection with
the suppression of the rebellion OF
1898. The most remarkable of these
Irish military roads traverses the cen
trail line of the Wicklow mountains.
Until the close of the eighteenth
century there were only three passes,
Wicklow gap, Sally gap and Glen
malur, by which the retreats Of the
great Wicklow chain could be ap.
preached. and each was almost i'm.
passable. After defeat in the open
field the rebels of '9S retreated to
these wild Businesses, where for sew
eral months they defied the efforts of
the government to dislodge them.
Sovexatious and formidable did this
mountain warfare become that the
idea of taking leaf out of Marshal
Wade's book suggested itself to the
lord lieutenant, Lord CORVALLIS. He
ordered the construction of what is
known as "the Great Military road"
in order to lay open the most inacces'
sible tracts. AS it was deemed eX'
pedient to station troops at certain
strategic points four extensive bar
racks were erected upon the road.
The main road begins four miles
south of Dublin and terminates in the

Local officials say that the worship
of Flor and Lavra had never totally
disappeared from these districts, but
assumed alarming proportions after
the bad harvests of the past three
years. The pagan priests who still
fingered in remote districts carried
on active propaganda among the peas
