CONWAY MAN MAY
 HAVE OPPOSITION

Little Rock, June 1.-J. N. Chil- ders, clerk of the last house of repre- sentatives, announces that he will as- pire to the office again in the 1915 session of the legislature. He is op- posed by Bruce Greeson of Conway.
 Childers returned to his home at Walnut RiGge after the adjournment of the legislature, and made a race for county office. He was defeated and then decided to again ask for the chief clerkship of the house.
 Bruce Greeson was at one time as sistant secretary of the senate, and made very efficient officer. His friends anticipate runaway race for him. for he was without opposition for so long that he secured great number of pledges.

RIVER WAFER IS
 IN CONWAY MAINS
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 For the past two days Conway con- sumers have been served with the kind of water Little Rock uses the year round, and judging from the numerous comments, it is not proving very popular. The condition came about as result of a very low stage in the Cadron, due to the unusual drouth, which was accompanied by a rise in the Arkansas river, backing the water up beyond the pumping sta ton on the Cadron. Although it is filtered and is said to be absolutely pure, the river water has an unpleas- ant taste. Supt. E. V. Leverett stated this afternoon that the current had started back down the creek today and he thought the river water would be out of the way by tomorrow night.

BOY INJURED IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT

From Mondays Daily.
 An accident said to be due to care less driving by three autoists caused the painful and possibly serious in- juy of Hiram Kuykendall, 12-year-old son of @Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Kuyken- dall, on North Front street, near Mill street, yesterday afternoon. Accom- panied by his sisters, Miss Claudia and Lizzie, and Miss Maud Simpson, the boy was driving in a surry. Three automobiles, decorated with pennants, approached the surry at high speed Miss Claudia Kuykendall declares, and failed to turn out for the surry. In endeavoring to avoid collision, the horse attached to the surry made a sharp turn, throwing Hiram out and causing the wheels to pass over his body, just below the chest. The boy is still confined to his bed, but it is thought he will recover. Those in the surry declare that none of the autoists stopped to offer them any assistance and they say they did not recognize anyone in the machines.
