were the only states west Of the Mis-
sissippi from which any coal produc-
ton was reported. The industry in
Arkansas did not develop rapidly dur
ing the earlier years, as the census
of 1860 shows a production of only
200 tons, and that of 1880, total of
14,778 tons. From 1881 to 1902 pro-
duction increased quite regularly, but
for the last II years has remained
practically stationary. The maximum
of 1904 short tons was attained
in 1907.
In 1912. according to E. w. Parker
of the United States Geological Sur
ey, Arkansas mined 2,100,819 tons,
valued at 1852, 7s9.
According to the United States b.
reau of Mines, there were six men
killed in the coal mines of Arkansas
in 1912, five of them by falls of roof
The death rate per 1000 was IL. and
there were 350,137 tons mined for
each life lost.

We " 7SJR {{ COTTON BX}

To meet the demands of our grow
ing business and to be in position
to offer better service to our farmer
friends who have cotton to sell, we
have engaged Mr.. A. D. Merrick, who
will assist our Mr.. W. NJ. Harrell in
buying cotton during the season.
Mr.. Merrick his had years of ex-
perience as a spinner buyer for some
of the largest Cotton operators IN
the country and comes to US highly
recommended as an expert on grades.
He has our instructions to pay, at
all times, the highest market price,
and by reason of his entire time and
attention being devoted to this de-
partment, we will buy more cotton
than ever before and our friends may
rest assured that if they will see
either Mr.. Merrick or Mr.. Harrell be-
fore they sell they will get the top
price for their cotton.

PROGRESS SHOWN
IN SCHOOL REPORT
INCREASE Is GRATIFYING
SUPT. COOK FINDS HEALTHY
GAINS ALONG EDUCA-
TIONAL LINES.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-THE tabula-
ton of the public school statistics for
the school year ending June 80, 1913,
is nearing completion by the depart
ment of education under the direc-
ton of State Superintendent Geo. B.
Cook.
The statistics show steady and
gratifying increase that has marked
the school progress during the past
several years. The following items
of increase over the past year are
very indicative of the situation: In
crease in school population for the
year IA ,139, enrolment. 1916, aver
age daily attendance 1882. The
number of teachers employed was
1924, or 50 more than {or the year
before and the average annual salary
was increased $3.50. The average
length of school term for the past
year was 1911 days, nearly six and
one-half months for the entire state,
and 90 days longer than for the pre-
vious year.
During last year BAG new school
buildings were erected with a total
value of more than one million dol
lars and the total value of public
schol property is now approximately
eleven million dollars.
The sum of $5,759,753 dollars was
available for school purposes, OF
which $4,279,478 were expened, leav-
ing an unexpended balance of 81 ,48O,-
275. This balance is largely to the
credit of the common school districts
In nearly every instance the speclal
districts have not only used available
funds but have taken advantage OF
their power to issue bonds for bulld-
ing purposes. The uneXpended PAL
ance, however, is Approximately son.

Conway, Ark, Oct. Il, 1913.
To the Democracy of Faulkner Co.:
l take this method of announcing
myself a candidate for county treas
urer of this my home county. This is
my first time to offer myself candi-
date for any Office, although it has
long been my ambition to be honored
with an office as gift from the peo-
pile. l have not gone into this race
in a hurry nor without consulting the
people, as far as practicable, as to
the wisdom of making the race at
this time. My announcement at this
time comes as a result of the encour-
agement the people have given me
as l have seen them one by one.
! l had hopes of making a house-to-
house canvass over the county, but
the unfavorable weather for gather
ing crops and the scarcity of labor
will prevent me from making the
house-to-house canvass. Still, l shall
devote as much time to the canvass
and see all the people possible.
| have never voted any other than
the Democratic ticket. l have been
raised a Democrat and l believe in
the principles of the will of the ma
jority.
If successful in this my first effort
my ambition will have been satisfied
publicly speaking. l shall then de-
vote my time to doing what / can, as
private citizen, to upbuild my home
my county and my state while in the
office; while in the office it shall be
my pleasure to take care of its duties
faithfully and cheerfully.
Thanking you for your support and
influence, l am,
Yours to serve,

KIRBY ANNOUNCES
senate PLATFORM
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES
ARE FAVORED BY JURIST IN
ANNOUNCING FOR UNITED
STATES SENATE.

Little Rock, Oct. 17.-Judge w. r
Kirby today announced the platform
upon which he will make his race for
the United States senate against Sen
ator James P. Clarke. Is is as fol
lows:
81 favor the election of the presi-
dent and vice president of the United
States by direct vote of the people,
and an amendment to the constitution
providing for it.
"The tariff, having already been re-
vised downward, we should so revise
our currency laws as to place the
currency of the country within the
control of the government, and GER
tainly enable it to prevent hereafter
the recurrence of Wall street and
bank-made panics like that of 1907
1t is the governments business to
make money and regulate the value
thereof.
1--WE should also control the Pana-
ma canal, with view to reaplne
whatever benefit may reasonably
arise from it's construction, and this
without regard to the wishes of the
other nations of the earth. We built
it, you know.
Gambling in futures injurlorsly
affects the price of cotton, our Chief
agricultural product, and should be
prohibited and suppressed, not taxed
and licensed. Our platform reads
We believe in encouraging the devel-
opment of agriculture, ETC. and as an
efficient means to this end, we favor
the enactment by congress of iegisla-
ton that will suppress the pernlclous
practice of gambling in agricultural
nroducts by organized exchanges OF
c: hers.
"The government should make lib
eral appropriations to carry out a
comprehensive and scientific system
of drainage ana leNeea W Pio''
people along the Mississippi river
which drains many states of the un-
ion. against its disastrous overflow.
at should also aid the states IN the
construction of good roads.
81 am in strict accord with the
Democratic platforms, both state and
national, and it's time we had the
services of a senator who has at heart
the interest of the great common peo-
pie and is regardful of our rights
one in touch with conditions in the
state and the nation, and in harmony
with the principles and leaders OF the
Democratic party.

Theophilus Kenyon was born April
10, 1856 at Fairfield, Iowa, and died at
Fairfield, November IS, 1913, aged fif-
ty-eight years, six months and twenty
nine days. He was a resident of JET
ferson county the greater part OF his
life. Six years ago he moved from the
farm to the home in Linby, Iowa. His
health failed many years ago, due to
Bright's disease with other compiled
tons which finally terminated in COM
plete paralysis.
He was married to Melissa Bowman,
March 81, 1884. He is survived by his
wife and two brothers, r. B. Kenyon Of
Packwood, Iowa and William Kenyon
Of Orange, California and other rela-
tives. The remains were brought to
the home In Linby where the funeral
services were held Friday, November
21, conducted by Rev. w. Williams OF
the Baptist church or Fremont, assist
ed by Rev. e. " Goad Of the Baptist
church Of Ollie The interment was
made in the Packwood cemetery.
Brother Kenyon was always strong IN
the faith Of our Lord Jesus Christ.
From early youth he feared and loved
the Lord. Seventeen years ago ne
united with the Baptist church. He
was the first member of the Libby
Baptist church. He was greatly re-
spected and loved by all. His depar-
ture is a great loss to the Baptist
church at Linby. The writer remem-
bers the faithfulness of Brother Ken
yon during the revival meeting OF 1912
at Linby. He loved dearly the cause
of Jesus Christ and labored for its
advancement.
