ATTORNEYS CANE
JUDGE WALLACE
THE RETIRING CHANCELLOR
IS HONORED BY LOCAL BAR
ASSOCIATION AT CONCLU-
SION OF COURT SESSION.

From Thursdays Daily.
just before the adjournment of the
September term of the Faulkner
chancery court. the members of the
local bar association presented the
retiring chancellor, Judge j. G. Wal
lace Of Russellville, with handsome
gold-headed cane. Appropriate reso-
lutions on the retirement of Judge
Wallace were read by R. w. Robins
and the speech of presentation was
eloquently delivered by Col. G. w.
Bruce. Judge Wallace was visibly
touched by the token presented him
and responded in a feeling address
Of thanks to the members of the bar.
The resolutions adopted by the attor-
neys, which were on motion ordered
spread upon the records of the court,
were as follows
Whereas, at the end of his present
term, Honorable jeremiah G. Wal
lace Will retire as chancellor of this
district, and We deem it proper and
right that we should give expression
10 the nigh regard and esteem in
which Judge Wallace is held by the
bar Of Faulkner county;
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Bar Association of Faulkner county
Arkansas, that we hereby tender to
Judge Wallace our thanks for his pa
tient, faithful, conscientious and eff
cient service during the time that he
mas been our chancellor; we appre-
ciate the fact that the Office of chan
celior IS a peculiarly important one
and that for the successful discharge
of its duties are required not only en-
ergy and ability, but also discern
ment, discretion, and most of all, a
high courage; in none of these quail
tications has Judge Wallace been
lacking. and to them in his makeup
has been added rare gift of courte-
sy and kindness to litigants and at
torneys that have never failed to win
the friendship and admiration of
those with whom his duties brought
him in contact; he has served us
faithfully and well; as a judge, he
has set high standard of efficiency
for future incumbents Of the Office,
and as a man he has won in the
hearts Of all of us feeling of friend
ship and esteem that time nor the
changing vicissitudes of life shall
never diminish"

From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Two government cotton reports is
sued this morning had bearish effect
on the price of the staple, which de-
clined about 25 points Eleven and a
quarter cents was paid on the local
market early this morning, but by
noon II cents was about the best Of
fered
The ginning report, the first to be
issued, showed that 3,015,000 bales
had been ginned up to September 25,
as compared with 3,675,00O to the
same date last year and 2,312,000 to
the same date in 1910. Although
100000 less than last year, the gin
ming figures exceeded the expectation
of the trade by about 10000 bales.
The condition report showed a de-
terioration Of nearly seven per cent in
the past month, the condition being
696 per cent. The same date last
year the condition was estimated at
Ill per cent.
Receipts at Conway continue far in
excess of any previous year at this
time and more than double the re-
ceipts up to the same date last year.
This is accounted for by the use of a
great deal of fertilizer on the pres
ent crop, the hot, dry weather during
the last half of August and the first
of September and the favorable
weather for picking during the past
two weeks. Up to Tuesday night 1000
bales had been shipped from Conway,
and there are about an equal number
in the local cotton yards.
The decline in the price Of cotton
has not affected the price of seed,
which stands today at $20.50 per ton,
the highest price of the season.

POULTRY SHOW
BREAK RECORDS
800 EXHIBITS ALREADY in
FAIR ASSOCIATION PREPARES
FOR GREATEST DISPLAY
EVER SEEN HERE.

This afternoon workmen at the fair
grounds began raising the big tent for
the poultry show to be given in con-
nection with the Faulkner county fair,
and all the finishing touches will be
completed by Saturday night.
l.. B. Pence, superintendent of this
department, says this will be the big
gest poultry show ever staged in
Faulkner county. Over 300 entries
have already been booked. Twelve en-
tries will consist of Is birds each,
making a total of 1870 birds trying for
highest IS birds in the show. Mr..
Pence says he wants every exhibitor
who owns an exhibition coop or any
thing that looks like one to bring it
along, IS it will greatly help the fair
association cooping the largest poul-
try show ever seen here.
w. B. Payne, postmaster at Beebe,
declares he will bring string of
Rhode Island Reds that will be tagged
blue for his entries Mrs Joe Hiett, so
far, is the largest individual exhibitor,
her entries in Rhode Island Reds,
Brown Leghorns and Buff Plymouth
Rocks consisting of SO birds.
Elmer Ginlin, the poultry judge,
has wired that he will leave Spring
field, O., tonight, after judging the
largest county poultry show in the
United States, and will arrive in Con-
way Sunday morning. The judging
will start Monday morning by the
score card system, and will be finished
by Tuesday noon. first day of the fair.

in bringing about this prosperity.
When we figure how little it costs
each farmer to maintain the demon
stration work." Mr.. Harton con-
tinued, ''it seems strange that anyone
would oppose it. The government
pays one-fourth of the agents salary
leaving 5000 to be paid by the county.
Estimating that there are 1000
farms in Faulkner county, if the
demonstration work would bring
about an average increase of only
one-half bushel of corn or 10 pounds
of cotton on each farm, it would pay
the cost"

DEMONSTRATION WORK

1T HAS BEEN OF VAST BEN

That strong efforts should be made
to induce the Faulkner county quo
rum court to continue the appropria-
ton for the maintenance of farm
demonstration agent is the opinion of
President B. L. Harton of the Faulk-
ner County Bank, who is an enthusi-
asst on the new methods of agricul-
ture. "Since the demonstration work
was begun in this county several
years ago" he said this morning,
"there has been remarkable change
in methods of farming, and it would
be hard to estimate the vast benefits
that have accrued to the farmers as
a result of adopting these methods.
AS we deal with a large number of
farmers, | am in position to know
that, as a whole, they are a great
deal more prosperous than in former
years. and | believe the demonstra-
ton work has been the largest factor

FAIR |SsFNDORSED

EXHIBITS ARE PLEDGED
FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR BIG
COUNTY SHOW NEARING
COMPLETION.

Resolutions heartily endorsing the
Faulkner county fair and its manage
ment, which were unanimously adopt
ed by the Faulkner County Farmers
Union at the quarterly meeting held
the secretary, j. B. Brown, by Man
ager J. A. King. The resolutions not
only commend the fair, but pledge the
union members to attend and exhibit
their products. A copy follows:
"Whereas, We believe a county fair
is almost an essential thing for the
rapid development and progress of a
county; and, whereas, we want to
commend the present manager, j. A.
King, for his management so far of
the Faulkner county fair; now, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we always stand
ready to assist the manager in max
ing this the greatest fair ever held !;
and be it further resolved, that we
will exhibit something this fall, and
urge others to do so.
"Offered by j. B. Brown. Passed
the county union September 20, by
unanimous vote"
Final preparations for the big
fourth annual fair are now almost
completed and all will be in readiness
on the opening day, Tuesday, Octo-
Der g. Present indications are the
fair will far eclipse any previously
held, in attendance, number and va
riety of exhibits and attractions of
various kinds.
The liberal purses offered by the as
sociation for races have attracted at
tention of horsemen all over the
southwest and there will be a much
larger number of professional and
thoroughbred race horses here than
ever before. Enough entries have al
ready been made to insure about four
solid hours of thrilling racing events
each afternoon.
The amusement features will also
be far in advance of those of the pre-
ceding fairs. No indecent shows OF
any kind will be tolerated and on
gambling devices permitted. One of
the headline attractions, which was
only booked yesterday, is the Hun
tington. minstrels, who will occupy
200 feet front on the midway, and
are said to be the best travelling IN
the south. The company has two cars
of paraphernalia and carries their
own brass band Scores of other
shows and attractions have been book
ed, and as the management adver-
tises, "there will be something doing
every minute"
The big dirigible arship and the
monster display of fireworks each
night will constitute two of the lead
ing free attractions to be put on by
the fair association. Contrary to the
custom of past years, patrons of the
fair will not be required to leave the

"WETS" GAIN Is
MORE COUNTIES
ONLY 48 ARE NOW DRY"
18 NEW COUNTIES VOTE FOR
LICENSE, WHILE THREE
CHANGE TO DRY.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The official re-
turns as received at the office of f.
w. Hodges, secretary Of state, from
the IS counties Of Arkansas, show
there was net gain of IS counties
in the wet column at the general
ton there were 63 dry" counties and
election for license. Before the cleo
II wet" counties, but, according to
the official returns, there now are q
wet" counties and 48 dry counties.
However, some of the counties have
gone wet" by small margin and
there seems to be no probability that
license will be issued in these cOun-
ties. Some of the counties went dry
by small margin, among them Hep
stead county, which went against IL
cense by only II votes.
A total of 18 counties have changed
from the dry" to the wet column,
and three wet counties, Cross, Lee
and Fulton, have gone dry The
other nine wet" counties, Chicot, De-
shat, Garland, jefferson, Lincoln,
Newton, Phillips, Pulaski and Sebas-
tan, are in favor of license still. To
these are added the following counties
which were dry and have voted in
favor of license: Arkansas, Bradley,
Calhoun, Cleburne, Hot Spring, Jack
son, Lonoke, Miller, Monroe, Mont
gomery, Ouachita, Perry, Poinsett,
Polk, Prairie, Searcy, Sewer and
Stone.
The question of issuing saloon Ii
censes in the counties that have voted
in favor of license will become an i'm
portant local issue, especially in coun-
ties that have gone wet" by a small
majority. The sole authority to issue
licenses in counties that have voted
in favor of license is vested in the
county Judge, but he can not issue Il
license for any township or ward that
did not cast majority of votes for
license
! The total vote in the state for Ii
cense was 1868, while S1,129 votes
were cast against license, majority
of only 2,467 against license. Two
wears ago the dry" vote of the state
showed a majority Of nearly 25,OOO.

One appropriation, however, about
which it is considered likely that
there will be division of opinion, is
tn for the purpose of maintaining
government farm demonstrator in
t--e county. An appropriation of 5000
for this purpose was made last year,
such appropriations having been
made legal only in the previous Janu-
airy by means of legislative act in
troduced by the late Capt w. w.
Martin. Some objection was raised
to this expenditure last year, but the
appropriation was carried on a close
vote.

4TH WEDNESDAY

From Tuesdays Dairy.
Instead of the first Monday in Oc-

the Faulkner county quorum court
will meet on the fourth Wednesday
