guarantee Packey's friends have been
talking to him and Thirty the past
week and have induced them to accept
the New Workers terms. Word to this
effect has been sent to Gibson.
Morgan, for Britton, agreed on terms
with Gibson long ago. so there Is
nothing now to do but for Morgan and
Thirty to get together and agree on the
weight and other little details of an
encounter that Is bound to stir coun-
try wide interest.
1t Is understood that Britton and
Morgan think catchweight fight with
Mcfarland would be foolish. They
suspect Packey has been climbing into
the ring right along around las
pounds So IL is a certainty that they
are not going to accept anything over
1873 pounds ringside as the poundage
in this scrap But Packey can do that
nicely and be better and faste.' than he
would at 145. because he'll have to
work to get off flesh that is not help
ing him any. So we anticipate emo Sc
rious trouble along this line.
The battle is to be staged around
the middle of February. 1t is one fight
that will draw a bunch of Chicago
fans all the way to New York. for
Packey is the idol of the south side,
and Britton the pride Of the north.
Thousands will be wagered In Chicago
on that fight. believe us.

NO QUORUM. AGAIN
IN QUORUM COURT
ADJOURNS TILL FRIDAY
BAD WEATHER KEEPS MAJOR
ITY OF JUSTICES OF THE
PEACE HOME.

With continuous downpOurS of rain
keeping majority of the justices of
the peace at home, the Faulkner
county quorum court was again, and
for the third time, forced to adjourn
this morning for lack of a quorum
Only 1S of the 45 justices of peace
answered to the roll call at the court
house this morning, and, after it was
seen that there was no probability OF
quorum being obtained today, ad-
iournment was ordered until 10
o'clock Friday morning.
Meetings will he held each day in
definitely until quorum is secured
though it is thought a sufficient num-
Der will appear tomorrow that the
business Of the court may be tran
sacted. The law provides that it is
the duty of the county, when ma
jority of the justices of the peace are
not present, to order the sheriff to
summon the absentees, and Sheriff j.
IS. Johnson has been endeavorine
since yesterday morning to notify the
justices over the long distance tele-
phone that their presence was needed.
There is possibility, in the event
q quorum does not appear Friday, of
the enforcement of statute which
has never before been put into effect
in this county and is probably unfa-
miliar to most of the justices. Sec
ton 1882 of Kirby's Digest provides
that IF any justice of the peace in
this state fails to attend the levylng
court of his county, for the purpose
of levying taxes and making appro-
priations for the expenses of the
county, he shall be deemed guilty OF
misfeasance in office, and on indlct-
ment and conviction in the circuit
court shall be fined in any sum not
less than SO nor more than Sl0o.
Provided, nothing in this section shall
apply to justices having legal OF
reasonable excuse"

CITY TAKES OVER
new WATER PLANT
TWO VOTE AGAINST IT
SYSTEM WILL BE OPERATED
BY COMMISSION WITH ELEC-
TRIO PLANT.

At special called meeting of the
Conway city council held in the Office
of Mayor w. H. Duncan late yester-
day afternoon, the new waterworks s
system was formally turned Over TO
the city by the board Of improvement,
under whose direstion it was cor
structed. Two votes were recorded
against the acceptance of the plant
by the city, those of Mayor w. H.
Duncan and Alderman w. r. Hairs
ton. All Of the other aldermen voted
for the acceptance of the system.
In filing their report, the board OF
improvement informed the council
that it had balance Of about $1,000
in uneXpended funds on hand, and
Mayor Duncan insisted that the
board turn over this amount to be
paid on a S1,700 account for fire hose
and equipment, which became due
with the acceptance of the plant. In
this contention, however, the mayor
was out-voted.
The water system will be operated
in connection with the electric plant,
by "a commission composed of Alder
men R. 3. McCulloch. Wellington
Robbins and A. j. Meadors, with E.
V. Ieverett as superintendent. 1t is
not expected that the water system
will be self sustaining at the low
rates fixed for service before next
year, and Chairman r. 3. McCulIoch
said today that all regulations re-
garding the use Of water would DC
strictly enforced, particularly The one
regulating the tapping Of mains and
providing that plumoers shall give
bond before being allowed to make
itaps.
The water system, which cost over
$1,000, in connection with the cleo
tric plant, Will place in the hands Of
the commission for operation public
utilities valued at about $4,000 end
having an estimated gross income Of
about S25 ,00o per year.

H0OkWORM SURVEY
BEGINS NOVEMBER ;
$500 ALLOWED BY COURT
DIR. w. P. JACOBS WILL OPERv
ATE DISPENSARY FOR FREE
TREATMENT OF DISEASE.

Beginning Monday, November j,
and continuing until practically every
Tease of hookworm in this county is
healed, a dispensary for the free
treatment of this disease will be held
in every township in Faulkner coun-
ty. All the expense Of carrying on
the dispensaries will be born by the
Rockefeller commission, founded by
John D. Rockefeller, with the exf T.
ton of $500 which was yesterday APP
propriated by the quorum court to
assist in the work.
Dr. W. P. Jacobs of North Cara
lima, who has just been transferred
to Arkansas by the commission as a
utility man, will be in charge of the
Faulkner county dispensaries, assist
ed by a corps of hookworm special
lists.
Every community in the county
will be visited by the specialists and
wherever case is located it will be
treated as rapidly as possible. 1t is
said this disease is more prevalent in
the rural districts than in the larger
towns. Local physicians will also
take an active part in the survey, as
sisting whenever possible.
Several other counties of the state
have made appropriations for SINH
lar purpose, among which are Con-
way, Hot Spring, Lee, Lincoln, Clark,
5000 each; Ouachita, Dallas, Cleve-
land, Woodruff, st. Francis and Sc
vier, $3.50 each. In some of these
counties the work is already complet-
ed, and the commission representa-
tives are now at work in Clark, Lo-
noke and Lee counties. The work in
Conway county will be carried on IN
connection with that in this county.

speeches than any other man in the
state, attending them in his capacity

MUCH DAMAGE BY
EXCESSIVE RAINS
YEARS RAINFALL HEAVY
COLD WAVE SUNDAY ADDS TO
DAMAGE TO COTTON CROP
IN THIS SECTION.
-rnn Mnndavs Eaily

Mondays Daily
Another heavy rain Sunday after
noon and night, accompanied by high
northwest winds and followed hy a
cold wave, added greatly to the dam
age already done to the cotton crop
in this section and caused much
gloom among Faulkner county farm
ers. The rains and wind are report
ed to have beaten great quantities of
open cotton out of the bolls, picking
having been retarded by unfavorable
weather for more than q week. How
great the damage is can only be esti-
mated, but is declared by some to be
as much as 30 per cent of the un-
picked cotton. Corn is also damaging
badly and is reported to be rotting in
many places.
According to Prof. G. H. Burr, the
local United States weather reporter,
the precipitation from Sunday noon,
when the rain began, until o'clock
this morning, was 1.6S inches. The
maximum temperature registered
yesterday was 50. At o'clock last
evening it had fallen TO as and the
minimum recorded this morning was
50, Only three degrees above the
freezing point Frost is predicted
for tonight, with rising temperature
tomorrow.
Prof. Burr states that the rainfall
during 1913 has been unusually
heavy and very unevenly distributed.
In practically every month there has
been either great deficiency or
great excess of precipitation. The
fall months have shown a particular
ly large amount of rain, 9.24 inches
falling in September and III inches
up to date in October, about three
times the normal precipitation. jan

WATER intake
PIPE CLoCCtD

From Tuesdays Daily.
On account of high water in the
Cadron, the water has become SO
muddy and filled with debris that the
intake pipe at the pumping station at
Gleason became clogged yesterday
and the pressure on the mains in the
city was very low last night. A gang
of five men worked all night cleaning
out the pipes and the pumps were
started again early this morning.
The filter is working well, however,
and little discoloration is noticed in
the water being pumped today.
