A Card from J. A. King, Candidate for MAYOR of Conway.

To the Voters of the City of Conway:
 As stated in my formal announce ment, I entered this race after due deliberation, and as the election is close at hand and it will be impossible for me to see each voter personally and talk to them, 1 deem it advisable to briefly outline my policy concern ing municipal affairs. I stand for law enforcement, and should 1 be elected mayor 1 promise with the as- sistance of the marshals to enforce the ordinances that We now have and those that may be enacted by the city council during my term of office. While l appreciate the great respon- sibility incumbent upon the mayor, I do not think he should delegate all authority to himself, but should con-. sider himself only one member of the council chosen by the people to as semble for consultation concerning municipal affairs. And while I know there are many matters of import ance to claim the mayors attention, 1 consider the improvement of the streets and sanitary condition of the city of most importance at this time, and, as most of you know, 1 Rave had about four years practical experience lin working and experimenting the working of the streets, and the great CT part of that time 1 worked under the supervision of a man who for many years gave his time and made a special study of how to work and drain the streets of Conway. And with my knowledge of how to make the much-needed improvements, will say that I will give these matters my time and personal attention
 l will say for the benefit of the political prophets that always get busy on the eve of an election, that 1 did not enter this race for pastime nor with any other intention than to run the race through. I am not a quitter, and feel confident of coming out successful.
 By promising, if elected, to cooper ate with the council, officers and citi- zens in giving the city a clean, con- servative and economical administra- tion, earnestly solicit your vote and influence. Respectfully,
 J. A. KING.

WARNED TO BEWARE OF
 THEATER PROMOTERS.
United Booking Offices Send Notice to
 Auditorium Management.

From the United Booking Offices of America Treasurer J. Henry Shannon of the Auditorium theater has received a circular enclosing statement or promoters in the west who have been endeavoring to raise money for fake theatrical enterprises. In Cleveland over $2,0o0,000 was raised by certain parties, most of it being subscribed by the public for hippodrome. The the ater was built over five years ago anu the stockholders have never received a cent on their investment.
 The object of this enclosure, the cir cular says, is to protect the citizens in the town from being gulled by ire sponsible people who want to pro- mote theaters and then have them ol their hands, and skin the townspeople out of what money they may put into them, and, second, because your town is now fully provided with theatrical
 enterprises; in fact, with more than
 can be made profitable. If a few men
 can make a living for themselves promoting theaters and then leave
 them for somebody else to run after
 skinning everybody that put a dollar into them, it will be a dangerous busi- ! ness proposition and not legitimate one. No one has any objection to a | legitimate theatrical man or legiti- l mate business man building all the theaters he sees ft but to promiscu- ously promote houses all over the country as they are now doing. witt | no one to run them, and without any l idea as to where they are going to ob- | tain their shows or attractions, ant ] demoralizing the existing business by l getting the public's money in and ther 1 feecing them, gives the already estab. | lished theaters and the theatrical bus 1 mess at large a bad name.

legacy known as the Rising fund The total amount of that fund. according to last years report. was $2,610.65. Nearly $1.000 of the fund is in Springfield, Mass, bank. The com mittee that has the matter in charge has been unable to secure the payment of that portion. because of the ques ton in regard to whether an inherit ance tax Is due the state of Massa- chusetts. The committee reported last year that it would be expensive to take out administration in Massachusetts, and that there was no question re- garding the ultimate securing of the money there.
 Bigger Attendance This Year.
 The membership of the association has been practically al a standstill the past few years. In 1909 there was a net gain of 92, but the succeeding two years showed a loss of over 60 due largely to the revision of the member ship rolls of the churches. It is probable that the change in the meeting place this year will result in a much better attendance than had the association gathered at Old Lyme. Mantle is much more accessible, hay ing connection both by steam ears and | trOlleyS and that enables many to att tend who could not go to a more in convenient point.
 | Several of the smaller churches in | the association are unable 10 support a pastor but maintain worship as best | they can among themselves, occasion | ally having a clergyman from a near | by place visit them and hold a preach | ing service.
 The Chesterfield church, which is
 now making arrangements to cele-
 brate the completion of SS years ol
 service, has no pastor. but Rev. George | c. Chappel of Montville supplies the pulpit in addition to his other duties
 and with the assistance of some O. i the young people of the Montvil,
 church, keeps up the interest. Fitehvilie, MoOdus, Lakes Pond, Sa
 lem and Scott Hill are also withou
 pastors, but manage to continue thei
