10 FRAUENTHAL WILL
NOT BE A CANDIDATE
DECLINES TO OF F ER F o r
SCHOOL DIRECTOR - FOUR
NAMES SUBMITTED.

From Thursdays Daily.
Although he was urged by num-
Der OF citizens to allow his name to
be placed on the ticket as a candidate
for school d:resser, 10 Frauenthal
stated today that he could not under
any circumstances accept the posi-
ton, and declined to permit the use
of his name as candidate. Mr..
Frauenthal was for three years pres
ident of the local school board, during
which time the new building was
erected, and it was thought by many
that his services would be of much
value in devising means to meet the
present financial difficulties of the
district.
Secretary s. E. Anderson said to-
day that the names of four candi-
dates had been handed by by friends
with the request that they be placed
on the ticket. These are j. r. Don
nell, j. C. Dawson, j. C. Clark and
w. B. Hubbell The ticket will not
be- closed, however, until tomorrow
afternoon, and other names may be
added later.
Two directors are to be elected Sat
urday to succeed S. E. Anderson and
l.. H. Pyle, whose terms expire this
year. The rate of taxation for the
ensuing year will also be voted.

CITY BEAUTIFUL
MEETING Is HELD
Committees ANNOUNCED
INSPIRING MEETING OF NEW
ORGANIZATION is HELD AT
COURTHOUSE.

From Fridays Daily.
The Conway city beautiful associa-
ton held its first meeting at the
courthouse last night. Circuit Clerk
}. II. Hartje deserves honorable
mention for having had the court
house chamber cleaned up in a pre-
sentable manner, which of itself was
a practical demonstration of what the
association stands for.
After few Introductory remarks
and practical suggestions by the
president, Mrs. G.. H. Burr, DR.. j.
W. Conger made an inspiring adj
dress on the general uplift value of
the city beautiful. He was followed
by { practical talk from Prof c. C.
Denney. Among other things, Mr.
Denney suggested that loving cup
be given to the citizen making the
greatest improvement in identifying
his own yard by September l. He al
so offered to donate the cup. These
talks and suggestions were received
with enthusiasm by the audience.
Perhaps no city in the state has
better natural advantages than Con-
way, and no city could be made beau
tiful with less expense. 1t is indeed
a city Of stately oaks and magnifi-
cent distances, and ought to be made
thing Of beauty in a short time.
Some Of the needed improvements as
referred TO by the speakers last night
were: new depot, beautiful court
house park, better-kept lawns, better
repaired fences, paved streets in the
business section, more slightly avn
ings, cleaner sidewalks.
All these improvements could be
brought about by very little effort
from each person if each would do
his part. AS Mr.. Denney suggested
in his talk, everyone should begin at
home, and then all should work to-
gether for the larger needs. If all
these improvements could be made
within the next year or so, he declar-
ed, it would bring about a transfer
nation in the life of Conway as moth
ing else would. The Conway City
Beautiful Association, he said, is in
deed q worthy organization, and the
president is anxious for everyone to
do mig duty.
To assist in carrying on the work
of the association, the president read
the names and membership of the
following committees:
Street Paving Committee H. b.
Ingram, W. D. Cole, Jr., F. L. Hal
ter, j. A. Pence and w. NJ. Harrell.

NORMAL AGAIN LOSES.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays DAILY.
The State Normal lost the third
game in the series with Ouachita at
Arkadelphia yesterday afternoon, Is
to 6. Dispatches from Arkadelphia
state that it was the most poorly
played contest on both sides ever wit
messed in college baseball in that city.
According to the official scorer, Nor
NAL outfelders were charged with IA
errors, which, if correct, probably
breaks the record of the State Athlet-
ic Association. Ouachita Datters are
accredited with % hits off Browning.

VAGABONDS OF THE EARTH
-BY
ARTHUR d. HoWDEN SMITH

as. In cafe in Caracas, however, he
heard tale which caused him to
change all his plans.
This tale, or, rather, legend. had
Uttered into the city through the me-
dunn Of up-country planters, and had
been impaired to them by tame In
dams, who in turn, had heard 1t from
their wild brethren of the jungle. It
had to do with a mysterious place
known as Ell Lugar de los Flores
Venenosos" (The Place Of the Poison
GUS Flowers), a great clump of weirdly
beautiful flowers, exhaling a deadly
perfume, which was said to be located
In the dense wilderness that lies about
the headwaters of the Orinoco. This
perfume was noticeable two days off:
within days march it was sickening;
and by the time a man was within
sight Of the flowers, he was overcome
by the intense smell.
With the instinct of the orchid-hunt-
er, Grayson OWNED that the legend
implied the presence of his quarry.
He secuted the melodramatic features
OF the tale, setting them down to the
imagination of the countless untutored
individuals through whom 1t had
passed, and without more ado he set
to work organizing an expedition.
Strange to say, he preferred to be the
only white man, although he took with
him an old half-breed who had been
his companion on several other ex-
petitions, and large train of Indian
porters.
One morning there was a percepti-
Bile odor Of flowers In the air; by noon
1t had increased considerably. When
they camped that night, the Jungle
smells had been entirely supplanted.
Their nostrils were filed with the
cloying scent. A number of the In
dams refused to go any farther, but
Grayson, the half-breed and a half
dozen of the stanchest porters pushed
on in the morning. The perfume grew
heavier and heavier as they advanced.
Finally, one Of the porters collapsed
in his tracks. Another went down,
and another. Grayson could feel his
senses leaving him, although he strug-
gled on. He said he had never smoked
opium, but he imagined that his SEN

sations must have resembled those
OF gu habitual user. He was sure
thai he could see the flowers, huge,
coleSous, many-hued clusters OF them,
the most magnificent collection of
