FAUL LKNER EXHIBITS
GO TO STA1fEFAlR

The prize-winning exhibits in all
departments of the Faulkner county
fair, except livestock and poultry,
have been stored in the Martin &
Harton building and will be shipped

prior to the opening of that event. 1t

far superior to anything previously
entered by this county at Hot

TELEPHONE COMPANY
HAD EXHIBIT AT FAIR

The Southwestern Telegraph 4
Telephone Company indicated it's in
terest in the Faulkner county fair by
installing an attractive exhibit. The
exhibit was arranged under the di-
rection of Local Manager G. w. Sam
mons, who exerted every effort to
make it illustrative of the Company's s
desire to furnish an excellent grade
of telephone service at reasonable
rates.
An attendant in charge of the tel
ephone company's exhibit explained
to the many people who visited it, the
inner wirkings of the telephone sys-
tenn; showing them how telephone
messages are handled in the central
office; the method of maintaining and
improving the telephone plant ;the
liberal provisions made for the COM
fort and welfare of employees.
Literature, setting forth the uni
versal character of the Bell system,
was distributed from the booth. This
literature shows that the Bell system
now operates over 100000 tele-
phones in the United States; that it
reaches more han 10000 cities, towns
and villages, and that every day it
handles more than 25,000,00O tele-
phone calls.
The telephone has become such
necessary factor in our daily life,
that few people stop to consider that
it is practically new invention. The
telephone is only 81 years old. 1t
was at the Centennial exhibition at
Philadelphia in 1876 that Alexander
Graham Bell first exhibited the origi-
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1901-1982, 1913-10-16

nal telephone. For several years
thereafter the telephone was not com
mercially practicable, because it could
connect but few people on one line,
thus restricting the service. How
ever, when the telephone switchboard
was introduced, the scope of the SER
vice was broadened. From the few
scattered exchanges which were es-
tablished in the late seventies, the
telephone development has advanced
by leaps and bounds, until now the
Bell system reaches 10000 places.
The extent of this system is better
realized when it is considered that
there are but 10000 post offices, co.
600 railroad stations and $4,000 Tele-
graph Offices.

N. {. SERVICES At
PUBLIC SCHOOL
OLD CHURCH DISMANTLED
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM TO BE
PLACE OF WORSHIP FOR
NEXT YEAR.

The congregation of the Conway
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
held their first service yesterday
morning in the public school audito-
rum, which will probably be their
place of worship for the Sunday
morning services for the next year.
The evening services will be held
Jointly with the Presbyterian congre-
cation at the church of the latter.
The building which was so rapidly
outgrown by the Methodist congrega-
ton is being dismantled by a large
force of workmen and within the next
two or three weeks there will be little
left of the house of worship which on
y decade ago was new edifice and
the pride not only of the congrega-
ton but of the entire city. The old
building was erected in 1898, during
the pastorate of Rev. F. S. H. John
Iston, now presiding elder of the Nor
rilton district and still a resident of
Conway. It's cost was about $4,000.
But so rapidly has the membership
and attendance grown that the build
ing was overf1owed almost every SUM-
day and an enlarged house Of
worship became an absolute necessity.
For many months the church Off
cials studied plans for additions to.
the old building, but it was finally de-
cided that the best means of relieving
the situation would be the erection of
an entirely new and modern church
building. AS no use could have been
found for the old church and no other
available site secured for the new,
it was decided to raze the old building
and erect a new one on the same
grounds.
AS soon as the old church is torn
away work will be started on the
foundations for the new building. 1t
is expected to complete the founda-
tions before winter and nothing will
then be done toward the building un-
til next spring. AS soon as weather
conditions will permit next year the
work will be resumed, and it is hoped
to have the new structure completed
and ready for use by the time the
schools reopen next fall.

REFERENDUM

WH|SKEY Law
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
Little Rock, Oct. 13.-No referen-
dunn vote will be permitted on the Co
ing anti-liquor act passed by the last
legislature, according to a decision of
the Arkansas supreme court today.
The courts decision was read by
Judge Frank Smith, all members con-
curing.
Oral arguments were had on the
case last Monday, the liquor men
making a hard fight against the act,
which does not become effective until
January /, 1914, but which contained
the emergency clause. Some of the
labor union officials joined in the fight
against the law, claiming that if the
validity Of the act were upheld the
referendum power of the people
would be vitiated.
Under the new law, which was sus-
tanned today, before liquor can be le-
gally sold anywhere in Arkansas, it
will be necessary for majority of
the white men and women of the city
or town to sign petition for it's sale
and the petition to be published in
full in some newspaper of the city.
1t is believed that this will practic-
ally bar the sale Of liquor throughout
the state

AS soon as he completes his settle

expects to enter upon his duties as
deputy supreme regent of the Royal
Arcanum, a position to which he was
appointed some weeks ago by Su-
preme Regent Wickersham. In this
position Mr.. King will push the work
of increasing the membership of the
order in this state, with view to or
ganizing a grand council in the near
future.

CONWAY'S GROWTH
AMAztS OR. HAYS
FIRST VISIT IN 10 YEARS
METHODIST EDITOR, HOWEVER
SAYS STREETS NEED
IMPROVEMENT.

DR.. w. B. Hays, an alumnus of
Hendrix College, and one of the new
editors of the Western Methodist
wrote the following article for the
Methodist last week, giving his i'm
pressions of Conway after an alb
sence from this city of 10 years:
After an absence of ten years
took occasion on October 4th to visit
Conway and Hendrix College. Con-
way, l was told, has had a steady
growth all the while, but to one who
has not been there for ten years its
growth seems phenomenal. There are
many more up-to-date business
houses, number of splendid resi-
dences, State Normal school and
many other improvements too numer-
Gus to mention at this time.
1t seems strange that so little has
been done in the way of civic i'm
provements on the streets leading
from the business center of the city
to the colleges. They should be made
the most beautiful streets of the city,
rejecting the great pride the people
there have in these splendid institu-
tions of learning. These institutions
are the greatest assets of the city
and beautiful paved streets leading
up to them would greatly increase
their value to the city.
1.-THE Hendrix College campus is
fast becoming a place of beauty.
Some of the trees that the writer
helped to set out while student are
now beautiful shade trees. 1t is re-
ported that the college has the largest
attendance of it's history. 1t is a
splendid body of young men who We're
not only courteous but brotherly,
and when they heard of my former as
we'll as present relations to the col
lege the interest they manifested
showed the strong college spirit that
exists among them and is so essen
tial to college life.
1.-THE church at Conway was never
in better condition. There were 642
in the Sunday school and the church
was crowded at the morning service.
There was great feeling manifested
when the pastor announced that this
would be the last Sabbath they would
hold services in that church. 1t is
a beautiful building and has been in
use only about twelve or fourteen
years, but it is too small and Is 10

better equipped for up-to-date church

.5TH annual FAIR
. PROVED A SUCCESS
Management IS PLEASED
ESTIMATED THAT BETWEEN
10000 AND $4,000 ATTEND
DURING FOUR DAYS.

Although no official figures have
been made public by the management
it is certain that the fifth annua
Faulkner county fair which came tt
a close last night was the most sue
cessful fair ever held in this county
1t is cOnservatively estimated that
between $4,000 and $4,000 paid adj
missions to the grounds were record
ed by the gate keepers. The carnival
company which furnished amusement
for the fair, reaped harvest, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kelley, manager OF
the company. Every afternoon and
night vast throngs of people crowded
the midway, and very few who visit
ed the grounds failed to attend a
number of the shows. At night it
was almost impossible to go through
the midway, the people being jammed
and packed so closely.
Nothing but praise is heard when
the fair is spoken of, Manager d. A.
King, who, for the third consecutive
year, was at the head of the fair, be-
ing highly complimented for its sue
cess.
The weather was ideal for the fair,
with the exception of last night.
However, before the rain began,
about 1000 people had arrived at the
grounds to see the last nights eele-
bration. During the rain the shows
continued to give performances, and
large crowds attended.
Despite the rain, the fireworks dis
play was given and proved to be the
best during the entire fair.
The Log Cabin Democrat regrets
that it is unable to publish the list OF
prize winners in the baby show
Through an oversight upon the par
of the management no record wa
kept of the names of winners. I'M
babies were designated by numbers

Last Thursday severe rain, hail
and windstorm covered half dozen
states. The number of deaths over
the whole area amounts to about one
hundred. The destruction Of prop
erty was very heavy. Perhaps Lexing-
ton suffered a greater loss in property
than any town in West Tennessee.
1t struck the McNairy line south
of GAINESVILLE and killed two or more
people in this county and several in
Hardeman. The storm line passed
northeast affecting only the west por-
tion Of the county. Many houses,
barns and fencing, together with tim
ber, were left in it's wake. There
was no severe wind near Selmer.
The rain fell in torrents, however.
