86 ENTER GREAT
 VOTING CONTEST
CONTESTANTS NUMEROUS
NOMINATIONS STILL OPEN AND MANY MORE EXPECTED
 TO ENTER.

Elghty-siX contestants-67 in the auto contest and 19 in the children s pony contest-have been nominated during the first week as candidates for the big prizes offered by the retail merchants of Conway and the Log Cabin Democrat, the first announce ment of which was published Thurs day of last week. Aside from the nom- ination ballots, good for 1000 votes each, few votes nave as yet been cast, owing to the fact that only a few knew who had entered the contests. The votes issued during the past week, however, are being carefully saved by those to whom they were is sued, and will doubtless be cast next week.
 Each contestant who has entered or been nominated in the auto contest will be advised by letter Thursday of the number which has been assigned ito him or her in the contest, and the name corresponding to this number will not be divulged except to those whom the contestants desire to in- form. If anyone desires to vote, how ever, and does not know the number of the contestant for whom he wishes to vote, the name instead of the num- Der written on the ballot will serve equally as we'll. In the children's contest, the names of the contestants and the number of votes to their cred it will be published weekly.
 The following is the standing for the week ending Tuesday, June 10:

GOOD PLkCE SURE
 FOR JUDGE LIARROD

It is possible that the nomination of the new attorney for the Eastern dis trict of Arkansas may go to the senate tomorrow, says a Washington special to the Gazette. It is the opinion that James H. Harrod of Little Rock will be named to succeed Wm. G. Whipple, although up to late hour today it was said that Senators Clarke and Robinson had been unable to agree upon the appointment. There is a rumor in circulation that Mr. Harrod may be given berth in the diplomatic service In case he is not cared for in this way he will probably be named as United States attorney for the East ern district of Arkansas.

CAPTURES FOUR WOLVES.

H. B. Williams of Mayfower is in the city today exhibiting four young wolves, which his dogs captured in the hills northwest of Mayhower yester- day. The wolves are about four months old and belong to pack which the people of that vicinity have been chasing for some time. MT. Williams is offering the wolves for sale, and says they will become perfectly gentle and tame and make the best kind of watch-dogs when they are grown.

 THREE TO ONE.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 To my friends in Faulkner and Van Buren counties. Just word in re. gard to MT. Brundidge's campaign for governor in White county. It's being circulated from Hays headquarters that MT. Brundidge will lose his home county again. But I feel sure in say ing White county will go three to one in favor of Mir. Brundidge this time. It's also being circulated from Hays headquarters that man in Coffee township by the name of Terrell wrote his campaign manager that Mir. Brundidge would get only 12 votes out of about 125. Now, this is sad mis- take, because there is not man in Coffee township by the name of Ter rell. They are trying to make it ap- pear that Hays will get the Davis vote in White county, but most all the Da- wis men that I know will go for Mr. Brundidge.
 Yours respectfully,
 LOUIS WALKER.

WRITES OF JUDSONIAl
 STRAWBERRY CROP
J. D. STEINSEIK TELLS OF MAGNITUDE OF INDUSTRY
 AT THAT PLACE.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Your paper is an appreciated visit or at my home every week, and l trust you will allow me little space to speak to my well-remembered friends in Faulkner county. I have been liv- ing in Judsonia for eight months and am well pleased with my town and surroundings.
 The association here shipped 325 cars of berries during the past sea- son. It is estimated 50 cars wasted in the fields for want of crates and pickers. It is estimated that 5000 pickers came here during the season. Our town was almost solid mass of humanity. We had carnival shows, cowboys, string bands and various other kinds of amusements during the time.
 The berry crop brought about $240,- 900 into this vicinity. The pickers re- ceived $75,000 for their work. Sev- eral of the farmers raise blackberries, and are now shipping them. A great many Irish potatoes are grown here for the market.
 I saw five carloads of home grown steers loaded here in December, and they were the best 1 have seen in Ar kansas. The price of land here ranges from $25 to $125 per acre, owing to location. There isn't much opportun- ity here for man with no capital, as our country has several poor people who come here to get day work.
 I noticed county superintendency was again defeated in Faulkner. l have always opposed it, if for no other reason, the salary office it carries. We have superintendency here, and if it is any advantage over the old system, I have failed to take notice. The few rural schools I have inquired into here are practically dead, so far as school interest is concerned. 1 doubt the superintendent deserves any blame for such conditions, but think
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-06-11

the fault must be in lack of interest on the part of the teachers, as well as patrons.
 Prof. J. P. Womack is now conduct ing four weeks normal at Searcy which I am attending.
 With best wishes for old Faulkner and the Log Cabin Democrat, I'll close. JNO. D. STEINSEIk.

MADE BAD MONEY IN
 PENITENTIARYlWALLS
COUNTERFEIT DOLLARS ARE FOUND BY WORKMEN IN DE-
 BRIS AT OLD PEN.

Little Rock, June 10.-Workmen clearing away the debris of the hos pltal building of the old penitentiary, on the state capitol grounds, Monday afternoon found seven counterfeit dol lars which had been manufactured by convicts in the prison. The spurious coin had been dropped into ventilator when the prison authorities had dis covered the moulds and began search. for the coins.
 When the convicts were being used to tear out the defective work in the capitol, large quantity of plates used for printing supreme court reports, which were manufactured of a metal of which lead is principal part, dis appeared. It was later discovered that convicts had melted it. Then counterfeit dollar appeared and the. officers knew to what use the metal had been put. Governor Donaghey and the capitol commission made quite an investigation at the time, but they could never discover the counterfeit coin. The counterfeit is a very good one, but the counterfeiters never had a chance to finish the coin which was discovered Monday. The moulding is perfect, even to the milling on the edge of the coin. The counterfeiters used dollar of 1880 for their model.

ANOTHER SIDE TO
IIR. PARROTS CHARACTER

We think OF our captains of indus
try as hard surfaced, coldcyed men
who magnify the material things OF
life, give scant, if any, heed to its
spiritual sIle, and devote themselves
almost exclusively TO the fierce pur-
suit Of wealth and power and the in
dulccnce Of their selfish desires, with
an occasional sop to their consciences
in the shape of a moneyed Contribu-
ton 10 some philanthropic cause.
Doubtless some of them are of that
kind, but not all. The late J. r. Par
rott, the right arm OF Fla2ler in his
great Development enterprises in
Florida and who died few days ago,
was conspicuous instance OF the in
