MiCADAM FOR STREETS.

If macadam should be adopted for use on the streets of Conway. the cost of obtaining the material should be materially lessened as a result of the operation of a stone-crushing plant near Little Rock by the State High. way Department. This plant is op- erated with convict labor, and was leased for the purpose of supplying road and street improvement districts with crushed stone at actual cost. Dr. NJ. F. Dickinson, formerly of Conway, who is in charge of the plant, has in formed the Log Cabin Democrat that crushed stone for public improve ments may be obtained at prices at least one-fourth less than the usual commercial rates.
 It has also been suggested that the railroads will make a reduced rate on hauling such stone for street or road improvement, where the public "Ouiu Ut lilt uilcSI Sdiiici DS Iiie ie- duction As the freight represents at least one-third of the cost of the Big Rock stone delivered at Conway, much could be saved if such a lowered rate could be secured.
 Of course, a stone-crusher could be purchased and installed at some A1ar- by field of rock, to supply material for street improvement. Even if the local stone is not of a character adapted for permanent street surfacing, it might be used as a base, with stone of a harder and finer quality used as a top coating.
 Macadam, we believe, will be found to be the only material out of which the finances of the city or the re- sources of an improvement district will permit any considerable amount of street improvement. Brick, asphalt, bithulithic or any of the other more expensive materials are out of the question for any except the principal business streets, costing at least 10 times as much as macadam.
 The construction of the l5 or 20 miles of permanent streets, which is Conways most urgent need, is a big proposition, but it is not too big for Conway.

Judge Trimble is no stranger to the
 people of Faulkner county, especially the older citizens, as he served six years, from 1878 to 1884, as prescott ing attorney of the old Sixth judicial district and has frequently practised in the courts of this county.
 Judge Trimble states that he has nothing to say against either of his opponents, but that he does not be- lieve county lines should be taken into consideration in selecting a man to fill so important a position as that of cir cult judge, and he feels that it is the duty of every Democratic elector, without regard to county lines, to vote for the man he conscientiously believes r. he the best fitted for the position. With 30 years experience in the &C., tive practice of the law. Judge Trim ble has had opportunities to qualify himself for the position he seeks and the voters of Faulkner county should carefully investigate his claims for their suffrage.

THE Log Cabin Democrat is in re- ceipt of a copy of the Good Roads Magazine, the publication of which has just begun. Representative A. V. Smith of Banks, former private secre- tary to Governor Futrell, is editor of the magazine. The journal is one which should receive the encourage 'ment of every Arkansan. If there is one thing more than another that the state needs it is better roads, and the Good Roads Magazine, with proper support, can do much for Arkansas.
