DONACHEY INSISTS
 ON MARBLE COLUMNS
FORMER GOVERNOR ADHERES TO ORIGINAL POSITION ON
 STATE CAPITOL.

Little Rock, May 6.-Former Gov- ernor Donaghey, member of the State Capitol Commission, says that he will insist upon the substitution of marble for the scagliela used originally, and which he does not think compares favorably with the marble interior. There are sixteen columns in the rotunda and the two stairways, and the lowest bid that has been received for them is $23,000, which does not include the cost of doing the work.
 About 30 per cent of the interior marble work has been completed. A slight delay is being caused by slide in the Can't quarries, as Sylacauga, Ala, where the marble is quarried. The slide, which occurred several days ago, was quite serious one and one man was killed. A number of the marble workers have been laid off at the capitol until another supply can be secured.
 At the monthly meeting of the con- mission Tuesday, the bills for April were allowed, amounting to about S21 900.

OUTLOOK BRIGHTER FOR STRAWBERRIES
PICKING IS BEGUN TODAY
FIRST CARLOAD SHIPMENT WILL PROBABLY BE MADE
 WEDNESDAY.
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
 Clear skies today and a forecast for fair weather tonight and Wednes- day did much to revive the dropping spirits of local strawberry growers. The indications now are that the damage from the excessive rains was not so great as was expected. An ex- pert inspector who will examine the berries brought in for shipment made an inspection of the field of Conway Strawberry Co.,, in the northeastern part of Conway this morning and found the berries now ripened are in fairly good condition. He stated they. are much firmer than he expected to find them.
 Picking began this afternoon at 1 o'clock and will be on in full blast be- ginning tomorrow morning. A small army of pickers, both white and colored, reported for work and it is thought there will be no difficulty in securing an ample number of hands.
 For the information of the growers, Secretary w. D. Cole, Jr., desires the announcement that for the first four cars the old style crates and boxes will be used and after that time the new style will be adopted. The number of cars to be shipped, he said today, will depend entirely upon weather conditions during the re- mainder of the picking season.

RAIN DISASTROUS
 TO STRAWBERRIES
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 Today's heavy rain cost the straw berry growers of Conway carload of berries, or at least $1,000, and the forecast for continued unsettled weather with more rain is only adding Encouragement to the unfortunate growers. With clear, warm weather yesterday a carload of berries would have been ready for shipment today but as it is, the berries that have rip ened are rotting and are unfit for shipment. It will take at least two days of fair weather to produce mar ketable berries, and it is probable that one-fourth of the crop has already been irretrievably lost.
 The berry raisers have been unfor- tunate for both of the years since the industry was started in this vicinity. Last year a fine crop was made and the weather conditions were favora ble, but the crop was late and came or at the same time with the north Az kansas and Missouri crops, putting the price down to a point where 1t was unproftable, This year the price is good and the weather is ruining the crop.

From Thursdays Daily
 A factory representative of the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Co. is here today making a test of the rock crush CT recently purchased by the city and road district. The crusher has been located on an acre of ground purchas- ed by Mayor J. Frank Jones from Joe Hiett, one mile north of the city.
