The lease is made on a royalty basis, with an option of purchase at the expiration of one year for $75,000. All royalties paid during the lease are to be applied to the purchase price in the event the plant is finally taken over.

TO
 MEET DEC. 9TH

Although the official call has not yet been issued, it was stated today on good authority that Chairman A. L. Nichols of Wooster has decided to call the Faulkner Democratic County Central Committee to meet at Con- way on Saturday, December 6, for the purpose of fixing the date and making other arrangements for the county Democratic primary election.
 While of course it will not be set tied until the committee decides, it seems to be the general impression that the county primary will be held the first week in January, 1914. This has been the time adopted for the two preceding county primaries.

ANOTHER THRF[T
 TRIAL OPPOSED
PETITION MAY BE SENT
TO ATTORNEY GENERAL, RE- QUESTING HIM NOT TO
 DEMAND TT.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
 The supreme courts decision re- versing and remanding the Threet case, as published in the Log Cabin Democrat yesterday, was the subject of considerable discussion in Conway since the report was published, and judging from expressions of opinions by large number, it is the unani- nous desire of the people here that the attorney general consent to a modification of the sentence, as pro- vided in the supreme courts decision, eliminating the necessity of re-trial in the Faulkner circuit court.
 Citizens everywhere are expressing the hope that the community will not have to undergo again the nauseating experience of another trial, and there is considerable talk of drafting pe- tition addressed to the attorney gen. eral, requesting him to consent to the supreme court sentencing Threet to the penitentiary on the lesser charge. The court granted the state 15 days in which to accept this alternative, otherwise the case will be remanded for another trial. Should the consent of the attorney general be filed, the supreme court will fix the number of years which the negro must serve Tn the penitentiary.
 Although the full text of the su- preme courts decision has not yet been received here, it is understood that their reason for reversing the trial in the lower court was that two offenses, one being for a capital crime, were joined in the same lnd1ct- ment under which Threet was tried. Whether there were other errors ot which the supreme court took notice has not vet been learned.

l8,OOO BALES ARE
 CONWAY RECEIPTS ALL RECORDS BROKEN
NUMBER ALREADY MARKETED INDICATES RECEIPTS OF AT
 LEAST 25,OOO BALES.

According to figures given out to- day by the Conway Compress Go. and estimates of stocks on hand, over 18,- 900 bales of cotton have already been brought to Conway this season. Of this number, only about 1000 bales were shipped here from other points for compression, the remainder rep- resenting the cotton bought on the streets in Conway during the present season. While comparative figures of other years are not available, it is known that the receipts to date break all previous records.
 The compress had received up to noon today 15,047 bales of this sea- sons cotton. At least 5000 bales are said to be on the yards of the various local buyers, making the total over 18,0OO. Based on the average per- centage of the crop marketed to this date, a total of receipts for the sea- son of at least 25,000 bales would seem to be assured.
 The gradual decline in price has continued during the past week, all though the lower price has not yet checked receipts. Good cotton is bringing 12 cents today, with average receipts selling for about II 3-4 cents.
 The price of cottonseed remains at $16 per ton.

The city authorities as- sert that the equipment was purchas- ed with the understanding that the claim would not become due until the waterworks system was formally ac- cepted by the city, and this was only done about one month ago. No other business, aside from the allowance of salary and street work accounts, amounting to $146.60, was transacted at last nights meeting.

Threet, a Conway negro, was con- victed of rape at the July term of the Faulkner circuit court, the prescott ing witness being Gertie Hollings- head, a 15-year-old white girl. While the alleged crime was horrible one, it was conceded that the testimony was hardly such as under the law would justify capital punishment, and the jury was out two days be- fore a verdict was reached.
 The defendant was represented in the lower court by George W. Clark, former prosecuting attorney, and George Shaw, Roy G. Bruce and S.. W. Rogers assisting Prosecuting At torney J. B. Reed for the prosecution. Among the errors assigned by the de- fense in their appeal to the supreme court, in addition to the alleged in- sufficiency of testimony, were the withdrawal of motion for change of venue without the defendants knowledge and the refusal of the low CT court to instruct the jury that the failure of the defendant to testify was not to be considered against him in making up the verdict.
 Another strong point for the de- fense was the lapse of time between the alleged crime and it's announce ment by the prosecuting witness and the. fact that she admitted to illicit relations with several other negroes, six of whom were sentenced to the penitentiary after conviction upon charges of carnal abuse, for total of 112 years.
 It is considered very likely here that Attorney General w. L. Moose will consent to a sentence for carnal abuse in the Threet case and 1t IS probable that petitions to this effect will be sent. It is thought doubtful that conviction upon higher charge could be secured again and by the attorney generals consent to a modification of the judgment of the lower court, the county will be spared the expense of another trial.
