COUNTY Will GIN
OVER 24,500 BALES
CROP A RECORD BREAKER
CENSUS REPORT SHOWS 23,800
BALES OF COTTON GINNED
TO JAN. l.


That more than 24,500 bales and
possibly $4,000 will be ginned from
the cotton crop of 1913 in Faulkner
county is the opinion of local cotton
men, based upon the figures announced
today for the amount ginned to Jan
uary /, 1914, which is 23,SOO bales.
This will exceed by over 5000 bales
any previous crop in the county's his
tory, although on account of the low
grade due to unfavorable weather last
fall, will probably cause the total re-
ceipts from the crop to be less than
the greatest on record.
The ginning to January l this year
exceeds that to the same date last
year, when 20,201 bales had been
ginned, by 3,599 bales. 1t represents
a ginning during the period from De-
cember 13 to January l of 954 bales,
as compared with 341 bales during the
same period one year ago.
Faulkner county still stands sew
enth among the counties in the state,
it's ginning being exceeded by that of
Crittenden, Jackson, jefferson, Lon
oke, Mississippi and Phillips counties.
Jefferson leads with 45,868 bales Mis-
sissippi being second. Faulkner's
ginning is almost 5000 bales ahead of
Conway county, which had ginned
1889 bales up to January 1.

3 WEEKS Term OF
SUMMER NORMAL
SESSION Is Heightened
PROVISION MADE FOR SUMMER
STUDENTS SEEKING NOR
NAL DIPLOMA.
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily
Two weeks will be added to the
usualOsix weeks summer term of the
Arkansas State Normal this year,
making an eight weeks session, ac-
cording to an announcement issued to-
day by President j. j. Doyne. By
means of the heightened term, it will
the work required for a Normal diplo-
ma at the summer session.
President Doyne stated today that
an effort will be made to present the
advantages of the summer term to as
many prospective students as possible.
He believes the additional facilities
have the use of the new model prac-
tice school and the young ladies of the
new dormitory, together with the
heightened term, will attract an un-
usually large attendance.
The announcement Of the summer
term issued today follows:
He SuIlIIcI lcIHl VI Cic otdtc ANoI
NAL School begins June and con-
tinues for eight weeks. Those who
are unable to attend the regular ses-
sions of the Normal School will thus
be allowed the opportunity, by at
tendance on the summer terms, to COM
plete the work required for the regu-
lar Normal School diploma. 1t will
also provide for more extended work
than could be done in the shorter term
of six weeks.
The course of study has been ar
ranged with especial reference to
four classes of students:
1. Those who may desire to take
the regular course and receive credits
for the work done, having in mind the
completion of the course and receiv-
ing a diploma when this has been
done.
2. Those who may desire to review
either grammar or high school SUBJ
jects, with a view to standing exami-
nations for either county, profession
al or state licenses.
3. Those who wish to take special
work in science, agriculture, drawing
or home economics.
4. Those who may wish to give
special attention to primary methods.
For such persons the training school
will be in session with about 40 chill
dren, 10 for each of the first four
grades, in daily attendance and doing
the regular work of the primary
school. Our critic teacher will have
supervision of this part of the sum-
mer school, Primary teachers will
find the work done very helpful in
character, as they will be allowed to
do daily work in observation and IN

GRAND JURY FINDS
FEW TRUE BILLS
ONLY 10 ARE RE URNI D
NUMBER SMALLEST IN COUN-
TVS HISTORY-FINAL RE-
PORT is FILED.

Returning a total Of only 10 true
bills, the smallest number ever found
at any previous session of the Faulk-
ner circuit court, the grand jury ad-
journed this morning after being in
session four and a half days. Of the
10 indictments, Circuit Clerk j. H
Hartje stated today that seven had
already been disposed of, leaving only
three cases to be carried over to the
next term of court.
A suggestion that the county poor
farm be cultivated under government
demonstration methods is an interest
| ing feature of the grand jury's final
report, which was read in court this
morning. The report is as follows:
Hon. Eugene Lankford, Judge of the
Seventeenth Judicial District:
We, the grand jury empaneled for
the January, 1914, term of the Faulk-
ner circuit court, have finished our
labors and beg to submit the follow
ing report:
We have diligently inquired into all
matters brought to our attention.
We have examined 50 witness who
were subpoenaed to appear before us
and have had number of volunteers
who tried to assist US in ferreting out
cases of lawlessness.
We have returned 10 true bills and
dismissed two cases.
Our body inspected the county Jail
and found it to be we'll kept, the cells
and beds were clean, and everything
in good condition, except the closet,
which we found to be in bad condition,
due principally to the present water
supply. Judge Holt assured US this
condition would be relieved as soon as
he could get connection with the city
sewerage.
A committee from our body visited
the county poor farm, and report that
there are five inmates who appear to
be we'll cared for. We suggest that
the county judge require the keeper
of the poor farm to cultivate under
the government demonstration plan,
thereby build up rather than impover-
ish the soil.
A committee was appointed from
our body to examine the books and
accounts of all the county officers.
They report that all the officers were
very courteous and accommodating.
The records appeared to be in good
shape; the accounts could not be
checked up in the short time allotted
to do the work, but as the commission
ers of accounts have reported the ac-
counts in good shape, we deemed it
unnecessary to undertake the work at
this time.
The work of the grand jury has
been handicapped to some extent by
some of the justices of the peace fail
ing to make their reports as the law
directs. We have had to issue sub
poenaes for the justices and their
dockets in two instances to get the in
formation needed. Upon their prom
Use to make their reports promptly
hereafter we let them off without re-
turning true bills against them.
We thank the court and prosecut-
ing attorney for their valued assist
ance in the discharge of our duties.
Respectfully submitted,
w. d. COLE, Foreman.

BROOKS FREE OF
MURDER CHARGE
JURY WAS OUT 6 HOURS
DOCKET CLEARED OF NUMER-
Gus MINOR, CIVIL AND GRIM
INAL CASES.
From Thursday. Daily.

from Thursday. Daily.
After six hours deliberation, the
jury at o'clock last night returned
verdict of acquittal in the case of
the state against Rule Brooks, charg-
ed with murder in the second degree
for the killing of G. w. Ellis near
Cato in September, 1912. 1t is stated
that the first ballot of the jury stood
seven for acquittal and five for con-
viction of manslaughter, the five be-
the amount of punishment. 1t was
thought for some hours that the jury
was hopelessly divided, but by 9
o'clock the members holding out for
conviction came over and the verdict
of not guilty was Immediately re-
turned.
With the murder trial, the principal
case of the term, out of the way, the
court has been rapidly disposing of
the minor civil and criminal cases on
the docket and it is believed the ses-
sion will end with the present week.
On account of illness in his family,
J. w. Sowell was excused as a grand
juror this afternoon and r. w. Shaw
was sworn in to serve in his place.
Three indictments, two for felonies
and one for misdemeanor, were re-
turned by the grand jury this morn
ing.
One of the true bills was against
Henry Harris, a negro boy who has
been in Jail for several weeks on
charge of stealing shotgun from E.
L. Hinton in this city. When Harris
came before the court to enter a plea
of guilty this afternoon, Col G. w.
Bruce informed the court that he had
heard the evidence at the examining
trial and did not believe Harris was
guilty of larceny. After questioning
the negro Judge Landlord asked Col.
Bruce if he would sign a bond for
$500 if the case were ordered con-
tinued and he agreed to do so.
F. M. Chalmers, indicted Tuesday
on charges of grand larceny and as
sault with intent to kill, entered a !
plea of guilty to the latter charge
this morning and was sentenced to
serve one year in the penitentiary, |
and the larceny charge was nolle
pressed. Chalmers is alleged to have |
made an assault upon r. L. McNew
on October %, 1913, and nthe same
date to have stolen two pigs belong
ing to McNew.
The case of the w. T. Rawleigh
Medical Co. VS.. H. H. Curedon as
principal and w. H. Duncan, E. w. ,
Rogers and w. R. Sturgiss as sure
ties, went to jury early in the after !
noon. The plaintiff is suing on ac-
count for over $500 alleged to be due
by the defendant.
Other proceedings Wednesday aft
ernoon and Thursday morning fol-
low:
R. T. Benton VS.. J. S. Henry; con-
tinued.
|. N. Fields VS.. M. B. Linn; dis
missed at plaintiffs cost.

& S. Ry. Co.; non-suit and dismissed
without prejudice.

SPORTS OF ALL sORTs-BoXING
Two Former Champions Make Poor
Showing in Battles,

Young Mitchell, the 1O5-pounder
from st. Louis, is engaged with
frankie Matson in a siX-roUnd go at
Peoria tonight, and before leaving
yesterday Mitchell seemed. to be a
confident lad.
He eagerly grabbed at the match,
as he was tired Of hanging around
Chicago and failing to get anything
from local managers Of alleged cham
pions. The youngster is game, will
ing to fight anything, and doesn't
mind giving away few pounds if
necessary. 1t is unfortunate that he
didn't receive better treatment in
Chicago.
But he's coming back, and prom
ises to camp persistently on the trail
of Young Izzo and other fellows of
the same poundage.
Willie Ritchie re-entered the ring
last night at San Francisco in four
round go against Johnny Dundee.
The showing Of the former champion
was not impressive. The decision
was a draw, but Dundee showed the
greater aggressiVcDe ss.
Ad WoIgast is another former light
weight champion who does not feel
overly proud of what he did last
night. Ad went ten rounds with Billy
Wagner in Flint, Mich, but failed to
damage his opponent. The Cadillac
bearcat was fat and will have to go
through a transformation in order to
make a decent showing against Fred
die Welsh in New York Nov. 2-if
that fight really comes of.
Ad bored in and landed frequently,
but took plenty of wallops in return,
and a heavier puncher than Wagner
would have marked him up.

Cubs and Feds Today's Fuel For
Winter League Stove.

out with a statement that Roger
Bresnahan cannot jump the Cubs for
the Brooklyn Feds or any other team.
Which reminds US of the guy
whose lawyer said. he couldn't be put
in Jail. But the poor boob was be-
hind the bars at the time.
I If Bresnahan wants to throw IN his
lot with the third league just put
down a small bet that he'll do it, and
the management of the Cubs viii be
allowed to do the worrying. The port
ly catcher has affairs right In his
hands, and things are coming his
way.
, His contract with the Cubs has
one more year to run, and Thomas
says there are two agreements, one
of which cannot be broken. But
when Bresuahan went to Brooklyn
to confer with the Wards he had an
able lawyer with him, and intended
to follow the. advice of the legal
sharp.
Bresnahan has given good services
to the Cubs for the past two years.
In 1918 his services were not prop
erly recognized and it CALLED the vet
eran to hear remarks that he was
through. This season just finished,
however, he was the most valuable
man on. the team, dividing the honor
with Tom Leach. But for these two.
veterans, both stamped as through,
the West Side crew would not have
finished in the first division.
They not only played a bang-up
game of mechanical baseball but
were responsible with their BRAIN
work for the success of the team.
They would have done even more if
restrictions had not been placed on
them.
Bresnahan was willing to manage
the Cub team if the proper induce
ments were offered. But he. wasn't
