/. B. INGRAM TO BE
new POSTMASTER
IS JACOWAY'S SELECTION
RECOMMENDATION FOR CON
WAY POSTMASTERSHIP Is
ANNOUNCED.

Henry B. Ingram of this city has
been recommended for the position Of
postmaster Of Conway by Congress
man H. NJ. Jacoway of the Fifth dis
trict, according to a telegram which
Mr.. Ingram states he received from
the congressman last night.
The announcement of Mr.. Jacoway's s
selection for the position ends a long
campaign for the office, in which al
most a score of candidates have par
ticipated.
1t is not known how soon Mr.. In
gram will enter upon his duties. The
recommendation of Congressman ia
coway is made to Postmaster General
Burleson, and the appointment will be
made by President Wilson, after
which it must be confirmed by the
United States senate before the com
mission can be issued, and this will
doubtless require several days.
The new appointee will succeed Act
ing Postmaster j. A. Settler, who has
served since the death of Postmaster
o. j. Owen last November.
The Conway postoffice carries the
highest salary of any in the congress
sional district except Little Rock,
which is senatorial appointment.
The salary is based upon the receipts
of the office and has varied in the past
few years from S2,100 to $2,400 per
annum.

MILLAR TO HEAD
A new COLLEGE
is rendered PRESIDENCY
OKLAHOMA METHODIST COL
LEGE AT MUSKOGEE-WILL
PROBABLY ACCEPT.

Dr. A. c. Millar returned yester-
day from Muskogee, Okla, where he
had gone on the invitation of the trus-
tees of the Oklahoma Methodist Col
lege. After looking carefully into the
situation and comforting with the
trustees he was rendered the presi-
dency and has the question under ad-
visement and will probably accept.
This college is an enterprise that
was started about three years ago.
The school has not opened and will
not for more than year. Under the
able management of Rev. S. F. God
dard, who has just resigned on ac-
count of the health of his wife reuuir-
ing change of climate, assets worth
nearly 100000 have been accumulat-
ed. 1t is thought that they will
amount to half a million in two years.
President Millar's work the first
year will be to push the raising of en-
doWment, arrange for the erection of
the buildings, and perfect the organi-
zation. 1t is probable that the college
will have no academy or preparatory
department, and its standard will be
high
As the location is in many respects
ideal, the trustees and President Mil
lar hope to establish an institution
that will combine the best features of
the modern college. He will begin his

HOLDS LAW CONFLICTS
WITH CONSTITUTION
DECLARES RESIDENCE QUAIL
FICATION FOR CITY ELEC-
TORS INVALID.

Little Rock, April 23.-According
to a decision rendered by Attorney
General Moose Tuesday afternoon, the
legislative act under which elections
have been held for the past decade is
thrown in the scrap pile as SO much
junk.
The legislature, in the dim and dis
tant past, passed an act changing the
old election requirements, so that the
voter must have lived in the state a
year, the town or ward for six
months. The constitution of Arkan-
sas states that the elector must have
lived in the state a year, the county
SIX months, and the ward or precinct
for 80 days.
At the recent election held in Wom-
BILE the judges refused to permit peo-
pie to vote who had been in the re-
.quired year, the county six months,
and only 80 days in the town. They
Iargued that the state law requires the
person to reside in the town six
months, but the attorney general says
the constitution cannot be changed by
the act of the legislature, hence people
who have lived in any part of the
county can move to city and vote
there within 80 days after their ar
rival.
Under the protest, there is a chance
for the election at Womble being de-
clared illegal, and if one town starts
there is no telling where the dissatis-
fed voters will stop.

WATCH-BUYING ADVICE

Intelligent watch-buying requires
judgment on your part in two things,
the case and the works.
These two items that constitute q
watch are obtained by the jeweler
from two factories that are unrelated.
The works are fitted into the cases by
the jeweler and the price of the com
pleted watch depends on the cost Of
the two.
Thus, you can buy very fine case
containing cheap movement, and
think you are getting a bargain, or
you may buy a cheap case containing
a fine movement and be deceived
again.
1t is the proper combination of the
two that makes the watch of worth.

Travellers and missionaries who

convict" whenever they place their
names on a hotel register, check,
receipt, or any other paper, accord

I, angelist of the Holiness Associa-
tons Convention.
Mr.. Smith told of a number of cases
of missionaries who had been con-
victed for this trivial offence and
were compelled to set themselves
down as ex-convicts wherever they
wrote their names in Japan. Then
he told of his own and his wife's
travels together in Japan preaching
the Gospel, and how near they came
to being convicted because his wife
innocently turned her camera upon
a structure which was discovered to
be part of the japanese military
works. He ascribed their escape to

ORIGINAL JOSEPH'S WELL.
1t is Situated Near Cairo and is of
Large Circumference.

Louis Parker's play, Joseph and
His Brethren with it's scenic splen-
dors, including a representation OF
Joseph's we'll, reminds one that the
remnants of the original we'll are to
be found at a spot situated directly
on the canal route from Schechem
to Memphis about two miles south
east of Cairo. The we'll itself is in
the Court yard of some barracks be-
longing to the army of occupation.
Near by is 1.-The CITADEL the Sec
ond largest mosque in Egypt. The
we'll bears signs of having been brick
ed up. Yet it is easy to see that
Joseph's discontinue could not have
been so great as one might imagine.
For this we'll, like all the wells of
Egypt, is one of a circumference
much larger than those of to-day
and Joseph would have been able
to exercise his limbs with ease by
walking around it. Moreover when
the Nile is low these wells are quite
dry.-London Correspondence to

Clinton, S. c., Nov. 1.-Thomas
Chapman, the 3-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter A. Davis, who live
about three miles east of Clinton,
was fatally burned yesterday after
noon while playing about the home.
Mrs. Davis had gone out in the
yard about 1890 o'clock to attend to
some domestic duties, and had left
the children in the back yard play
ing. Soon afterward she heard
screams and upon looking in the di-
rection of the house saw the child on
the back porch enveloped in flames.
She had a fence to cross before she
could go to the house, and in her
efforts to reach the child she was so
overcome that she tainted. AS soon
as she recovered sufficiently she
again ran in the direction of the
house, but upon seeing the suffering g
child a second time she again tainted.
When the child was reached it was
so badly burned that there seemed
to be no hopes for it's recovery. Ply
sicians were Immediately summoned,
but despite their efforts to give re-
lief, death came about o'clock.

that he now asserts that he has Sc

daily, almost hourly observation.
Progress, he says, seems to be

shall approach the human problem,

achieved we are confident that that
