Sheriffs Gardner and Wysong. left the
county last week for work in other parts
of the State. We regret we did uot have
a talk with them personally before TAX
ing their departure, but we learn from
conversations they had with other citizens
that they found nothing of any Importance
wrong with the settlements-some MINOR
discrepancies of course. They spoke
highly of our county court and partlcu-
larly the arrangement of the vault and
the books and papers therein and the work
generally of an efficient county clerk.
Isssrs. Stewart and Lemley have been
afforded every assistance by our county
officials at the court house during their
stay, have made good impression and will
be kindly and courteously received and
treated when they call again.

Chautauqua has visited eighty towns
this season, and the attendance has been
enormous, That in seventY-eight of
these towns the Chautauqua has proved
so satisfactory that they have already
made up their guarantees for next year.

 This tragedy in which three esti- mable young ladies and one of the leading educators of the state were drowned in the Illinois river is still fresh in the minds of the public. For some time Supt. Cook has been par sonally active in having the Carnegie Commission take up the mater of giv- ing recognition for the heroism of Prof. Crawford and Miss Vanland- ingham. It is the unanimous opinion of those with whom this matter has been discussed that this tragic occur renee should be reviewed by the hero commission.

A few finishing touches still remain on all of the contracts for improve ments at the State Normal School, although the school has not been ma terially inconvenienced for the fail ure to complete them. A long delay in the receipt of some of the machin- cry for the central heating plant made it impossible for this and sev- eral other of the contracts to be fully completed and made ready for final acceptance, but Architect c. l.. Thompson thinks everything will be in readiness for his final inspection within a few days. The heating plant, however, has been able to supply heat for the buildings whenever needed, and no inconvenience has been suffer- ed on this account.

CONSIDER INFECTION HERE
 IS REMARKABLY LIGHT
SMALL NUMBER OF HOOKWORM CASES IN FAULKNER
 ATTRACTS ATTENTION.

Little Rock, Nov. 25.-The Hook worm Commission has found smaller per cent of infections in Conway and Faulkner counties than in any other counties yet surveyed in the state. In Faulkner county Dr. w. P. Jacocks, special agent in charge of the free dispensary work, has made a total of 469 inspections since the first, and has discovered only ten cases of hook worm and 35 cases of other parasites, according to his report just received here. The remarkably low per cent in the county is shown by comparison with Grant county, for instance, where TAP per cent of the cases ex- amined were found to be infected with hookworm. It is a rural dls- ease. and much more prevalent, strange to say, among the whites than among the negroes. It appears that the negroes are to considerable ex- tent immune from it, as they are more immune from malaria than the whites.
 pr. T. M. Fly will begin survey of Pulaski county January l, County Judge Asher having appropriated s25O to assist in the work. There are several centers of infection in the county, all outside of Little Rock' so far as known.

TAG DAY. WILL BE
 ANNOUNCED HERE SOON
CONWAY s. AND c. CLUB TO RAISE FUNDS FOR PUBLIC
 SCHOOL.

Tag day has become one of the na- tional days. It is observed in almost every village and in many large cit ies, as contribution to public well fare.
 Tag day is a city-wide opportunity for any man to show his public spirit, for the widows mite" has the same spiritual significance as the philan- thropist's endowment. In many places tag day is the prerogative of some To- cal body, and it practically remains "a trust" in their hands.
 In Conway, the proceeds are de- voted to the public school. Our citi- zenship is recruited, mainly, from the public school, so quarter for a "tag" is a real, while commonplace, symbol for discerning citizen.
 Tag day in Conway will soon be announced. Arrangements will be in the hands of Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal and Mrs. J. D. Collier, chairman and vice-chairman of the educational de- partment of the Conway School and Civic Club.
 The club has recently spent $16O for the library of the public school, which wipes out the account at the bank. We shall need more money at once, and the public school and the general public need the services of the school auxiliary. Please give at tention to the later announcement of tag day, not failing to provide the requirement of tag day.

Holding Most of State Ma
chinery, Acting Governor
Fairly Isolates Sulzer

ALBANY, N V, Aug. 23.-The close
of the second week of rival governor
ship camps at the capital finds actin g
Governor Martin III. Glynn in practical
possession of most of the machinery of
the state, so far as surface indi-
cations go.
Mr.. Glynn has adhered rigidly to his
program Of quietly isolating Governor
Sulzer. He has made no spectacular
attack on the Sulzer fortress. but all
the while has been entrenching himself
steadily behind the legal ramparts fur
nished by the attorney generals office,
by means of which some of the state
departments avowedly, and others
tacitly, have acknowledged his author
ity. According to Giynn's adherents.
the state prison is the only big wheel
in the commemorative machinery that
Is for Governor Sulzer.
Acting Governor Glynn has been
careful to avoid anything savoring of a
physical contest. or which might pre-
cipitate an appeal to the courts.
Governor Suizer continues to observe
the policy of silence which, he has fol-
lowed since impeachment. upon the ad-
vice Of his attorneys. If any steps
have been taken on his behalf to bring
the governorship controversy into court
they have been carefully concealed
Both executive suites were all but

Delay in Wiser Con-
frmation Due to Fric-
tion in Senate

Congratulations were extended TO
Brigadier General John p. Wiser yes
terday from all parts of the United
States on the confirmation by the sem
ate OF his elevation to that rank after
q delay OF nearly three months
This delay was in no wise due to
personal reasons rejecting on General
Wiser, whose ability, fitness and pop
ularity have never been questioned,
but was the outcome of friction be-
tween the members of the senate and
the secretary of war as to the meth
od OF choosing officers for the ap-
poinfments.
It was declared that the difficulty
lay in securing quorum of the sem
ate military committee.
General Wiser is now in command
OF the Pacific coast artillery district.
When this district was formed last
February as a part of the reorganlza-
ton scheme of the army, it was an
nounced that a brigadier general might
be assigned to its command II one
was available. 1t is possible. therefore.
that he may not be sent to the border
as was rumored at the time he was
named for the appointment
General Wiser was born in Missouri,
July 19, 1852. He was member of
the class Of IA at the West Point
Military academy. He was assigned to
the artillery corps. He became colonel
OF the coast artillery corps May 81,
1907. and IN May last he was appointed
to be brigadier general.
General Wiser has written several
books of note on military subjects. He
was formerly in command of Fort
Baker on the Marin county shore, leav-
Ing there to go to Berlin as military
attache.
On his return he was assigned to
duty as commanding officer of the Pre-
sidio of San Francisco and later of
Fort Winfield Scott, when that was
made the artillery post.
