SITUATION AT BENTON
 SIMILAR TO CONWAY
PUBLIC SCHOOL THERE IS OV ERCROWDED AND DISTRICT
 BADLY IN DEBT.

Plans for the relief of a school sit uation that is strikingly similar to that of the Conway district, were dis cussed at mass meeting of citizens Of Benton, Saline county, few days ago. The condition of the school dis tr.ct at that place was described in an address by Judge w. R. Donham, who is quoted by the Benton Times Courier as saying:
 "A few years ago we had an old wooden building. We thought it time to have new building" said the judge, "and had special act passed by the legislature allowing the dis trict to issue bonds in the sum of $10,000 to build brick building. The building erected cost $14,000, and would cost at least $20,000 to build today. The bonds drew eight per cent interest. The bonds have been paid off at the rate of $500 a year. This school building was erected to take care of 400 pupils, but we have grown, and now have enrolled 672 In the primary room it is necessary to divide the 162 pupils into two di- visions and one go to school in the morning and the other in the after noon. In another grade one teacher has 91 enrolled We all know that no teacher can do justice to the pupils or themselves with such number. Crowding 99 into a room that was made to hold 40 is too much. We have 10 teachers and need more. I will assure you that we have manag- ed everything @G economical as pos sible. We are not paying high sal aries. Some of the teachers get but $45 a month, while many country dis tricts are paying $60 and $70 a month.
 "Our indebtedness is, exclusive of bonds not due, $14,000 July 1st this will be educed by $8,7O0, leaving a deficit of $500. This with the ST. 900 bonded indebtedness leaves us in debt $12,300 With this debt before us and the need of another building staring us in the face, what ar4 we going to do? You can imagine what the board is going to do."
 Following short addresses by a number of other citizens subscrip- tions amounting to about $3,00O were taken at the meeting and a soliciting committee appointed to raise the bal ance of 5000 which was declared necessary to maintain the school.

 WOMAN A HEROINE
JUMPED INTO DEEP WELL. OF WATER TO RESCUE HER
 CHILD.

The Democrat is in receipt of the annual report of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, giving in detail the awards made by the great philan- thropist for acts of heroism which have been recognized since the estab- lishment of the fund and amounting to $505, 5,356.90. While many heroic acts are recorded, yet, it is doubtful if one-half of those recognized were more justly entitled to special recog- milton than an act of heroism per formed by Mrs. l.. Rainwater of Gull pepper mountain, Wednesday morn- ing of last week.
 The well at the Rainwater home is covered with a flat top, around which a low picket fence was constructed and supplied with a gate. Upon the morning in question, Mrs. Rainwater went to the well after water, and re- turning failed to close the gate. Mis- sing their only child a few minutes thereafter, an infant of 16 months, she immediately thought of the Well and rushed out only to find her sus- picions confirmed. With the water but four feet of the top of the we'll and unable to reach the child she jumped in after it. Both went down, but upon coming up, by some means Mrs. Rainwater caught cross-beam near the top, and clinging to this, with child firmly clasped under her other arm, she set up distress cry that brought her father-in-law to her assistance and rescue with that of the baby.
 The husband was away from home at the time and the only persons near were MT. Rainwater, ST., and his wife, who were working in their gar den, some 200 yards away. Follow ing her rescue Mrs. Rainwater suffer ed quite a little from the nervous strain, but soon rallied, and both she and baby seem none the worse for their plunge into Is or IS feet of icy water-Van Buren County Demo- crat.

 Editors Methodist: I have just re- ceived the following communication from the secretary of the General Board of Education:
 March 20, 1912. Dear Brother-With pleasure I have just learned of your purpose to build a group of buildings on the camps of Hendrix College, and to name them the w. w. Martin Memo rial Group. l am delighted with the idea. According to my information, the buildings are to be dormitory science hall, library and gymnasium These buildings are certainly needed l should think that you might erect an adequate gymnasium for $10,000 or $15,000, science hall for $12,00C
The log cabin Democrat., 1912-04-20

or $15,000 and the library for $15,- 900 or $20,000. It seems to me that you might combine the science hall and library, or the gymnasium and science hall. I should think that $50,- 900 would give you an ample sum for library, science hall and gymnasium. That will leave you S50,000 for your dormitory. That sum will enable you to erect a first rate small modern dor mitory, having some regard in it's architecture and arrangement for beauty as well as utility.
 q am so thoroughly impressed with the need of adequate living ar- engagements for our boys at Hendrix that 1 wish to offer to be one of 50 persons to contribute $1,000 each with which to build the dormitory of the Martin Group. Certainly there are 49 others among the alumni and friends of the institution who will do likewise if their attention is called to the matter. In pushing your plans for erecting a group of buildings, should be glad to render any personal or professional service in my power. With very best wishes, I am respect fully yours"

AGED BANKER HAS
 BEGUN PRISON TERM
R. S. MORRIS OF SILOA M SPRINGS ENTERS FOR THREE
 YEAR SENTENCE.

Little Rock, April 2O.-R. S. Nor ris, aged "A years, president of the defunct Bank of Siloam Springs, ar rived at the state penitentiary this week to serve the sentence of three years that had been imposed on him on conviction of having received de- posits after he knew the bank to be insolvent. His sentence had been af- firmed nearly month before by the supreme court. He was accompanied only by his foster son, Dr. Harry Crossen of St. Louis, an eminent phy- sician, who left sum of money with which to purchase eggs for him, as he can eat nothing else. MT. Morris is being kept in the prison hospital where he is able to walk about some of the time. He is very weak, how, ever, and not capable of great exer- tion. His cashier, Fred Davey, has been in the prison since the middle ot January.
