MISS BESSIE BROWN
WEDS in LITTLE ROCK

Miss Bessie Brown, the 1S-year-old
daughter of Epps Brown, member
of the Arkansas Tax Commission,
who was a student in Central College.
was married yesterday to Albert Lee
Erwin, the 19-year-old son of A. l..
Erwin, wealthy merchant and plant
er of Des Arc. The ceremony was
said by Rev. w. R. Richardson, pastor
of the First Methodist church in Lit
tie Rock, at his home. A statement
published in today's Gazette to the eff
feet shat Miss Brown, "eluded the Wig
ilance of the authorities at Central
College" is incorrect. DR.. J. w. Con-
ger, president of the college is out of
the city today, but is is understood
that Miss Brown in company with a
dozen or more pupils, obtained per-
mission to spend the weekend with
friends or relatives in Little Rock, and
as Saturday was a holiday, all expect
ed to return this afternoon.

BOND FEATURE
MAY BE DROPPED
FROM THE JACOBSON BILL
CLAIMED THAT CONTRACTORS
COULD NOT MAKE SUCH
BIG BOND.

Little Rock, Feb. 24.-"We will
make an effort to have the 100000
bond feature stricken from the Jacob
son bill, which provides the supreme
court of Arkansas as a board of arbi-
tration for the settlement of our claim
against the state" says George w.
Caldwell "The bond feature will elm
mate us, if the bill passes that way,
for we cannot make such bond. The
bill specifies that the bond must be in
such shape that if a Judgment is
found against US, the state can be
paid out of it. We would have to put
up 100000 cash to meet these re-
quirements.
"The talk of us being indebted to
the state is all bosh. There is over
100000 due US in retained per cent
ages and in approved work by the
commission, to say nothing of other
work for which we claim remunera-
ton"
Many of the legislators favor the
removal of the 100000 bond feature,
merely requiring the contractors to
give bond for the cost in case the
state wins. The feeling here seems to
be to have the matter gone into and
settled, and if the state does not owe
the contractors, to let the matter drop
and get it out of politics. They would
like to see the matter settled, and be-
lieve the state could concede a pint by
providing forum with such condi-
tions that both sides could be heard
in such a manner there would never
again be state capitol issue in Ar
kansas politics.

REPLIES TO REQUEST
FOR INFORMATION
IN REGARD TO ABOLISHMEN1
OF CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM
IN ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, Feb. 24.-Replying to
a request from Winthrop d. Lane, as
sociate editor of the Survey" of New
York, for further information upon
the convict lease system in Arkansas,
Secretary Anderson of the Arkansas
Board of Penitentiary Commissioners,
has written telling of the success of
those favoring penitentiary commits
sion in having new law passed
which abolishes the lease system. He
goes further and requests the assist
ance of the magazine in creating SEN
timent in favor of laws which will
force the prison management to set
aside a portion of the earnings of
convicts, to be given them upon their
discharge, or to their families while
they are incarcerated.
Secretary Anderson states that
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1913-02-24

when convict is released the hand
of the world is against him, and he is
often driven back to crime by not
having funds to tide him over to the
time of securing employment. He
thinks it best to have the convicts pro-
vided for, by placing his earned per-
centage in the hands of an institu-
ton, to be handed out as needed. or
glven all to the convict at one time.
Secretary Anderson calls attention to
the families of convicts often being a
burden to the community, through
their poverty, thereby making the in
ci'rceration of the criminal a hard
ship upon community, family and
convict as well.

Little Rock, Feb. 24.--Four trains
of soldiers from Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, passed through Little Rock Sun
day en- route to Galveston. The regu-
lars will be sent from Galveston to

ing the state at Fort Smith and going

ed the Iron Mountain has orders to
transport other troops to the Mexi-

looks as though there has been some
well defined policy adopted by Presi-
dent Taft just at the close of his ad-
ministration.
Four long trains filled with United

With the mysterious assassination
of Madero, the situation between

tual war may be declared at any time.
At any rate, it has hastened prepara-

WEEVIL DESTROYING YOUNG
COTTON IN MISSISSIPPI FIELDS

jackson. Miss, June 2.-CSpeciaL)-
From every direction come reports to
the effect that the boil weevil is getting
in his work on the young cotton plant,
and efforts at his suppression are being
made not only by wide-awake individual
farmers, but by business organizations,
bankers and others. W. p. Smith, spe-
clal agent of the government, writing to
the newspapers of southwest Mississippi,
says: 1.-THE last few days have brought
out the boil weeyil in large numbers
and he advises catching every weevil
possible. picking up every punctured
square and rapid shallow cultivation, if
the farmers would make some cotton
Up in Leake county the weevils are
also reported numerous, and most farm
ers are in the fight to stay, but others
are plowing up their cotton land and
planting same to corn. w. d. Burnside,
I.eake county farmer, who had five
acres in early cotton, planted in six foot
rows, picked 1t over the other day and
got 100 full grown weevils.
According to the Woodville Republican,
THE boil weeyil is making it's appear

visions for the reduction of the pay of the
railroads. One of these made an abso-
lutte reduction of per cent in the amounts
paid per ton on all roads where 5000 pounds
of mail or more was carried per day.
The other provision applied to roads
having small mails and those having
large mails alike. 1t directed that the
Postmaster General should discard a
practice which had been in effect since
1873 and had several times received the
approval of Congress and of the Attor-
ney General and inaugurate a new system
In computing the average daily weight
After extensive debate, Congress, in the
last days of March, 1907, retained in the
bill the provision for 5 per cent reduc-
tions and eliminated the clauses by which
the basis of the pay was to be changed.
Notwithstanding this action of Congress-
Postmaster General Cortelyou adopted
the proposed new method of computation
Suits were brought by some railroad
companies in the fall of 1907 when this
new method was first put into operation
and each year since then when the new
method was applied in the several dis
tricts into which the country is divided for
the purpose of postoffice administration,
other railroads have protested against the
change and brought their suits.

five days being consumed in the argu-
ment. The governments attorneys in
formed the court at the hearing that
the amounts which the government has
withheld from the railroads by the new
practice will, by the time when the mat
ter can be decided in the supreme court,
reach a total of possibly s13 100000.
1t is expected that the government will
appeal from the present decision of the
court of claims and will have the case
advanced for hearing in the supreme
court. The matter will probably come
to a final decision sometime next winter.
The leading lawyers of the railroad
companies in this matter are Ben Carter
and f. Carter Pope. both of whom prac-

Appreciating the necessity for prompt

are eligible to try for the prizes, and
no doubt millions of the bugs will be

In other counties the farmers or others
are paid from to cents each for every

WALTER D. SEED
SPEAKS At CORDOVA
Well Filled House Hears
Second Speech of Guber-
Material Campaign

Cordova, June 2.-(Special. )--Lieutenant
Governor Seed spoke here tonight In the
interest of his candidacy in the guberna-
torial campaign. Despite the fact that
the contest has just opened and the pri-
mary is so far distant, Mr. Seed spoke to
a comfortably filled house.
After being introduced by DR.. ]. M.
Miller, Mr.. Seed reviewed at length the
Conner administration of 1907-11 and touch
ing railroad rates he stated that Ala
bama was being charged higher freight
and passenger rates today than Geor-
gia. even by the same railroads operat-
ing In both states, because of the BULLDOG
Kilkenny cat methods used in the spec
tacular fight between Mr.. Conner and the
railroads.
AS rate reducer, therefore, he rea-
soned the Conner administration was a
dismal failure He believed much more
could be accomplished by cooperation be-
tween roads and state with recourse to
courts in case the railroads position be-
came unjust. He spoke of acts passed
by the Conner legislature being response
BILE for the Lacy incident Seed stated he
stood unalterably opposed to any further
increase in taxes in Alabama either di-
rect or indirect as well as being opposed
to any increase in salaries or creation of
new offices without retiring a great
number OF useless offices that now bur-
den the people. He outlined his position
on prohibition, stating that he believed
statewide prohibition would be best for
the state at once, since dry counties ad-
joining wet ones were being overrun with
liquor from wet counties and that con-
stitutional prohibition should come at
time when the people were ready for 1t
and not simply as an avenue for one man
to the Senate as appeared to be the
case before.
Mr.. Seed likened the statement of Mr.
Conner on the prohibition question to a
crawfish, something that would go both
ways as Conner had declared he would
stand for Temperance" if prohibition be-
came an issue in the campaign. lie
stated that one of the first things he
would do If elected would be to secure
better appropriations for the distribution
of farming literature and demonstration
work, which ne believed would soon add
s2,25O000 dollars to product of Alabama
farms.
