At the Police Jury meeting last
Wednesday large delegation of
prominent citizens from Charen-
ton and the first ward, presented
petition to the Jury for public
bridge to be built at the site of
the old bridge. The petitioners
were represented by Attorney L.
o. Pecot, who made and able and
forceful argument in support of
the cause he was advocating.
The president, Mr.. C.. N. Frost,
appointed a committee of six to
look into the proposition pre-
scented and they are to report their
findings at the next meeting.
From all indications the cause
| advocated is meritorious one
and we have no doubt will be
granted if the finances of the par
ish will justify the building of the
bridge at this time.
A nice piece Of detective work was
| done this week by the efficient and
active deputy sheriff of this parish,
Mr.. Chas. Pecot. A negro by the
name of John Scott, on August 7, 1909,
killed man on Capritto's plantation
and made his escape before the hon.
icide was known to the officers. He
fled to Texas and successfully evaded
arrest for those years. Mr.. Pecot,
ho.,ever, never tired in his efforts to
trace the murderer, learned few
days ago that Scott had written to a
woman friend here to bring his wife
to/Houston, and presuming from tina,
fact that Scott must be in that city, he
wired the following message to him or
August It'll: Meet me On the arriva
of the train tonight, and signed thu
anne of SCOTS woman friend to tn.
telegram. Mr.. Pecot boarded tn
train, and when it reached Houston
there was Scott to meet his wife, bu
he met the sheriff and pair of hand
cuffs instead.

old Schwan building, which was

This debris has caused for some

the heart of the business section
of our town, and we feel that the
people will miss it now with
pleasure. AS a rule, when the
rubbish of the old building is re.
moved, it is done with the pur-
pose of erecting a new building
in the place Of the old. Let US
hope that this rule will hold good

SHOULD WAIT TILL
 GROUND IS WARM
WEBB ADVISES FARMERS
NOT TO PLANT COTTONSEED IN COLD GROUND-CJLTIVA-
 TON MOST IMPORTANT.

County Demonstrator s. B. Webb today issued the following circular letter to the demonstrators and CO., operator farmers in Faulkner coun- ty:
 Conway, Ark, April 30, 1912.
 Ut seems to be the general impress sion that the planting of cotton should be extremely early in order to best combat the boil weevil, when the facts are that it is not the earliest planting that makes the earliest cot ton crop in any case.
 We contend that early maturing varieties of cotton planted as soon as the ground is warm, and cultivated rapidly, makes the earlier crop.
 Cotton will do no good in cold ground, as it is semi-tropical, there fore you should be careful not to plant too early, and wait until the ground is warm before planting.
 Cotton usually dates from the time it is worked out, and not from the date of planting. This season is very late, and if cotton had been planted it would not have done well, as the ground is yet too cold.
 Do not become discouraged on ac- count of late spring, but plant when the ground gets warm, with the early varieties of seed, and be sure that you can work same rapidly. Plant plenty of corn and peas for feed for stock. have your gardens, and remem- Der that S60 out of every S1OO worth of cotton raised in Arkansas is spent for meat and feedstuffs. This you should raise on your own farm. Our slogan is to make living on the farm by growing all feed for stock, and make cotton the surplus crop. Pre- pare a good seed-bed. plant early-va- rieties of seed when the ground IS warm. with intensive cultivation.

ARKANSAS RIVER
 IS STILL RISING FLOOD STAGE EXCEEDED
LOWLANDS UNPROTECTED BY LEVEES TWILL BE OVERFLOW
 ED IN FAULKNER.

Lowalnds in Faulkner county un- protected by levees in the Arkansas river bottoms and probably a large area in Cadron creek bottoms will be overfiowed before the end of the week by an unusually high stage of water now coming down the Arkansas. A stage of p feet, or two feet above the flood stage, is predicted at Little Rock by Friday, and there is possi- biIity that this figure will be exceed ed, as the river was still rising at all points from Fort Smith east this morning.
 At s o'clock a. m today the stage at Fort Smith was 28 feet, six feet above the flood stage, representing a rise of three feet during the past 24 hours. At Dardanelle the stage was 22.4 feet, or 2.4 above flood stage, a rise of A since yesterday morning. At Little Rock, the stage was 20.5 feet, rise of 4.2 feet in "A hours.

URGES MORE INTEREST
 IN BOYS' CORN CLUB
S. B. WEBB HOPEFUL THAT FAULKNER COUNTY WILL
 MAKE A GOO DSHOWING.

Farmers who have boys in the cot ty Demonstrator s. B. Webb to take pains with the boys and try to make winners of them. Remember that not only your boys interest is at stake," says MT. Webb, but your county might, with your help, be a winner. Practically every county in the state is well organized with cot ton and corn clubs, and you can rest assured that th:s county will not only have to hustle, but will have to do some extra good farming to be win ners at the state fair this fall.
 Let us not only make a good show ing at our county fair, but be well represented at the state fair this fall. Some very fine prizes will be offered, both at the county and state fairs. Remember, Faulkner county is a col lege county and is regarded as one of the most uptodate counties in the state, and it will be expected of us to make good showing, not only in corn and cotton clubs, but all grades Of farm products and livestock.
 Learn to be corn producers, see that your crib is always full and you will be prosperous farmers. Have your boys gather from the woods the top soil and apply on thei rpatches. Get good grades of fertilizer, harrow often and keep up good cultivation, and let's see what Faulkner county's boys can do."

LETTERS OF DAVID 0.
 DODD ARE RECEIVED
HISTORY COMMIS- SION SECURES VALUABLE
 ACQUISITION TO ARCHIVES.

Little Rock, April 30-Secretary Herndon of the Arkansas History Commission has just received some valuable material concerning David o. Dodd, the gallant young Confeder- ate hero, who was hanged as a spy by Gen. Steele in Little Rock in 1864 There are about 25 of his original let ters, written to his mother and his father, A. M Dodd, in 1S62-63, and which have ever since been preserved by his sister, Mrs. Sinhora Dodd Booth of Washington, D. c. The let ters are very interesting, casting many sidelights upon the stirring events of the times. None of the let ters were written after his arrest. There is also an old Bible with David o. Dodd's autograph, which was per sented to him on his tenth birthday for excellence in penmanship.

FINISH INSPECTION
 OF STATE GUARD
CONWAY'S FINE SHOWING
IS THE ONLY COMPANY IN THE STATE POSSESSING ITS
 OWN ARMORY.

Little Rock, April 39.-The annual inspection of the Arkansas State Guard has been completed, and the reports are now in course of prepa- ration. The report of Lieut.. Lewis,. U. s. A., will be forwarded to the. war department, while that of As- sstant Adjutant General Tom Hors-: fall will be submitted to Governor Donaghey 1t will be two or three weeks before the reports are ready.
 In the meantime, however, some thing has been made known of the re- suits of the inspection. Philadelphia leads the whole state on drill. Capt. H. L. McAlester, military instructor in Ouachita College, has trained his men until they are perfect in drill and the manual of arms. Ola leads the state in attendance of members. Harrison is at the head in general ef-.
 iciency and equipment. Fayetteville Capt. Leon R. Smith, leads the state in appearance and soldiery bearing, in which they are unexcelled by any company of the guard. "The men look like soldiers, are neat and attractive, and have military courtesy down to a nicety," is the estimate of Gen. Hors-s fall
 Conway, which is one of the newest companies, Capt. o. D. Longstreth, made splendid showing and it is predicted will be among the leaders next year. It is the only company in the guard that has its own armory, built by the members themselves at a cost of about $500.
 The Second Regiment Band at Rus sellville was mustered out on account of the chief musician having resigned and there being no man to take his place. The Hope band was mustered in in it's place, with Dwight Blake as chief musician.

REYNOLDS MAY BE
 UNIVERSITY HEAD
NEW PRESIDENT ISLIKELY
RECENT STUDENT UPRISING MAY RESULT IN CHANGED
 ADMINISTRATION.
From Thursdays Daily.

rIom lnuISudy Ddly.
 Prof J. H. Reynolds, formerly of Faulkner county and for several years member of the Hendrix Col lege faculty, is mentioned in Fayette- vile dispatches as a possibility for president of the University of Arkan- sas, to succeed President Tillman.
 "The recent student uprising at the university" special to the Gazette states, has brought out the question of retirement of some of the faculty. Ii is also question of interest as to whether the recent troubles will have a bearing upon the election of a pres ident for the university when the board meets in regular session in June Very little seems to be known as to the plans of the board of trus- tees. A few weeks ago when the stu dent strike was settled the board members promised the students that they would conduct an investigation in the near future and go into matters at the university thoroughly. The in- vestigation has not been started, and nothing definite seems to be known by the student leaders as to when the board will enter upon this work.
 "Since the settlement of the stu dent strike, letters have been address ed to members of the alumni of the university, written, so 1t seems, un- der the impression that the board is contemplating some action in regard to securing another president. These letters come from an alumnus of the university and urge the alumni to communicate with the board of trus- on1 indicate tho oh oroctor nf .a man they want elected to the presi- dency. Whether the board of trustees contemplates making change is not known. Judge Tillman seems to feel that he has no intention of retiring. He regards the report that he will not be retained as being wholly unautho- rized, and says that the report IS got ten out in an effort to create an inn pression that such action will be talk en in June, and can be traced to a somewhat unsavory conspiracy of one or two individuals, whose aspirations will not be furthered by the employ ment of such means. Judge Tillman will talk little about the matter at present.
 "There is much speculation as to what action the board will take in June should change in administra- tion be taken It is suggested that in case they should make a change or that Judge Tillman should retire, that the board would probably elect a pres ent member of the faculty temporar- fly until time could be allowed for thorough consideration of a man for the position The names of several members of the faculty have been mentioned in connection. Among those considered IS Prof J. H. Reynolds, head of the department of History, who has just returned from years study abroad. Another name men toned is Dr. C. F. Adams, dean of the college of agriculture. Dr. Ad- ans, it is said, is regarded very high lY by members of the board"
