LANDING ON THE BACHELORS.

Bachelors are the chief oppon- ents of equal suffrage in the United States, according to Mrs. Josephine White of Providence, R. T., and Boston. Mrs. White made this statement in a debate at suffrage headquarters at Cincinnati on plans for the state campaign for "votes for women" at the sOhio state constitutional election. She also had these things to say of those men who prefet'single bless- edness: '+ "N~ @ fhf v v Most bachelors are cranks.
 "They are also spoiled as they have too frequently been the petted darling of a misled mother of aunt. -i H b
 "They are too selfish to marry, and would rather talk about woman in an extravagant way than learn to know her good qualities sincere. ly.
 "They are forever preaching about woman's place being in the home, hut they never stir hand to put one woman in a home of her own.
 "They are so conceited that they think woman knowns nothing.
 "They are so obtuse they can't zee that if eight million American girls and women are working in this country and have not the protection of husbands vote they need one of their own.
 N"The only hope for a bachelor that I can see is for him to get married and then he will realize the value of woman and see why she should be allowed to vote.
 However, they are such freaks by the time they reach the age when we call them bachelors that I9dBn't see why woman should marry them"
 Maybe Josephine feels better after having relieved herself of all the foregoing, and what she asserts may be true in the East; but in the West and Southwest, where equal suffrage has prevailed and will continue to spread, single men are the strongest adherents of the cause. When Wyoming extended suffrage to women the adult femi- nine population of territory was not more than ten per cent of the entire enumeration, and 1t was the advocacy of extension of suffrage to women by single men which brought about that first extension of equal rights. The same assertion will be found true in a somewhat lesser degree in all the other women suffrage states. Arizona will join the procession next fall.

100000 GROUP OF
BU|LD|NCSPLANNED
CAPT. MARTIN MEMORIAL
DONAGHEY ELECT
TO HEAD HENDRIX COL
LEGE BOARD.

A group of four buildings, to cost
in the aggregate about 500, 900, was
planned by the board of trustees of
Hendrix College as memorial to
Capt. w. w. Martin, chief benefac-
tor and for many years president of
the board. This decision was reach
ed by the trustees yesterday after
noon. In his annual report to the
board, Pres dent A. C. Millar sug-
gested that $4,000 science hall be
erected and dedicated to the memory
OF Capt. Martin, and the board, while
adopting the suggestion, thought best
to plan more comprehensive memo
rial, and proposed the erection of
a group of four buildings of uniform
and appropriate architecture. These
buildings will include science hall,
library, gymnasium and dormitory.
The science hall will be built first, the
other buildings to follow in the order
named. A committee of the board
was appointed to lay more definite
plans for the buildings.
Governor Geo. w. Donaghey was
elected to succeed CAPITA Martin as
chairman of the board. Cashier V.
Z. Hill of the Faulkner County Bank.
who was chosen to fill the place of
Capt Martin as a member from the
A rkansas conference, was elected sec
retary. j. +. Giles of Texarkana
was elected vice president.
The administrations of President
A. C. Millar and Treasurer w. b.
Hubbell were approved by the board,
which adopted practically all of the
suggestions contained in Dr.. M.llar's
rtport.
The financial affairs of the college
were shown to be in better condition
than ever before. The three new pro-
fessors who were elected at the last
neeting, Professors W. o. Wilson, J.
l.. McClurkin and M. J. McHenry,
were reelected. They thus become
permanent members of the faculty,
the rules of the board providing that
after professor is elected twice he
shall continue in his position until
such time as he may desire to resign.
Prof. l.. E. Winfrey of the chair
of modern languages, was granted a
years absence, and the selection of a
subst tute, as we'll as of the corps of
instructors, was left to the president
and committee of the BOARD.

TAXES MUST Be
PAID BY APRIL 10
PENALTIES To BE ADDED
NEW LAW GIVES COLLECTOR
NO LATITUDE IN EXTEND
ING TINE.

Either a great many delinquent
penalties will be assessed or the Of
flee of the tax collector will be one of
the busiest places in the county be-
tween now and April 10. Up to this
afternoon Sheriff j. S. johnson had
made only about LOO receipts. With
less than one month in which to pay
more than two-thirds of the receipts
are yet to be issued
The collector states that for every
receipt made out after April 10 this
year penalty of 10 per cent of the
taxes will be added. 81 will either
have to add this penalty or pay it
myself said Sheriff johnson today,
"as new law forces the county clerk
to charge me with penalty of 10
per cent on every receipt recorded
after April TO-"
1t will be almost a physical impos-
sibility to get all of the receipts made
out within the time prescribed by the
law. Only 26 working days remain
in which to do the work and in order
to complete the collection an average
of nearly 200 receipts will have to
be made out. By continuous work the
collector could probably do this, but
the taxpayers at present are coming
in very slowly and the office is not
kept busy anything like all their time.
The new law to which Sheriff John
son refers was passed by the legisla-
ture of 1911, and is as follows:
Section /. All taxes levied on real
estate and personal property by the
several county courts of the state,
when assembled for the purpose of
levying taxes, shall be deemed to be
due and payable at any time from the
first Monday in January to and in
cluding the 10th day of April, shall
be considered as delinquent, and it is
hereby made the penalty of 10 per
cent against all such delinquent tax
payers that have not paid their taxes
within the time limit specified, and
the collector shall collect sad penalty
in the same manner and at the same
time he collects other delinquent
taxes
Section 2 The clerk of the county
court, at the time of making settle
ment with the collector, shall carefully
examine the record of tax receipts as
kept by the collector, and shall charge
said collector with sum equal to 10
per cent of all the tax receipts record.
ed subsequent to the 10th day OF
April. Provided, all errors or omis.
sions of the collector in recording any
tax receipt shall be exempt from the
penalties herein prescribed.
Section 3. This act, being neces
sary for the immediate preservation
of the public peace, health and safety
shall take effect and be in forme from
ard after its passage

COTTON Brings
10 IA Cents HERE

The past week has been another
duh one in the cotton market at Con-
way, bad roads and rainy weather
keeping the staple from being
brought to town. Good cotton is
bringing 10 IA cents on the local
market, the price being the highest
since short time after the season
opened last fa.s.
Up to Wednesday, 1851 bales had
been shipped from Conway this year.
The impression is general that the to-
tai shipments for the season will
reach and probably exceed the 10000

NICE COMPLIMENT
TO GOV. DONACKEY

The election of Governor Dona-
ghey as chairman of the Hendrix
board of trustees yesterday afternoon
was an unusual expression of conf
dence In the executive ability of the
governor. According to one of the
members of the board, Governor Don
aghey was not present at the meeting
and his election to the position had
not been discussed. No nominations
were made, the members simply writ
ing the name of their choice on a bal
lot, and over three fourths of the
votes We're cast for the governor. His
election was Immediately made unan-
imous.

Arapahoe, is in port aboard his aux
iliary yacht Gerhilde, from Port JEFF
ferson. Capt. Stanwood and his son,
j. w. Stanwood, are on their way to
San Francisco via the Panama Canal.
This may seem a strange statement,
considering the canal is not yet OPEN
ed, but the Gerhilde will get through
just the same, and will bear the dis
tinction Of having been one Of the
first vessels to go through the speed
way"
Capt. Stanwood not long since was
engaged in running a tug boat at
Panama and towing lighters, barges
and other vessels in the construction
of the great dam. The Gerhilde draws
only eight feet Of water, and, there
fore, she will be able to make the
speedway" which has q depth Of
fourteen feet, with all ease. Capt.
StanwoOd owns an orchard near San
Francisco, and he is headed in that
direction, with the aim in view of
basking in the shade Of his own vine
and fig tree. He anticipates that the
voyage to Panama will consume about
three weeks, as he intends stopping at
Guantanamo. The Gerhilde will put

asked to join the order either as an
active or honorary member, and am
not eligible because l am not a Catho-

where that statements of this kind are
all campaign inventions, devised to
serve special purpose. This particu-
lar statement has been circulated in
selected quarters to create the i'm
preston that / am seeking to identify
myself politically with the great Cath
Ollie body. In other quarters all sorts
OF statements are being set afioat to
prove that I am hostile to the Catho-
lies 1t Is very petty and ridiculous
business. If all these fabrications
could be brought together they would
make very amusing reading. They
would leave a very fiat taste in the
mouth, for they would entirely neu-
tralize one another and prove that l
was nothing and everything. 1 am a

ural courses Of thought, playing no ia
