DEPUTY SHERIFF WINS
 FOWL BY FAIk MEANS

From Thursdays Daily.
 Deputy Sheriff c. o. Payne has been busy today trying to explain to his friends how he came by fine large hen which he brought home with him yesterday, but is having hard time making anybody believe it. Ac- cording to his story, while out near Otto for the purpose of serving some papers yesterday, he stopped his bug gy near a flock of chickens. There were some oats in the bottom of the vehicle and when he returned to 1t five or six hens flew out of the buggy. When he got home last night Mrs. Payne asked him where he got that fine hen he had under the buggy seat, and he discovered that the fowl had ridden all the way to Conway without his knowledge. Sheriff J. s. Johnson smiled very cynically when he heard the story, but he says on his next trip he expects to sprinkle few oats in his buggy.

DR. THOMAS HEADS
 HENDRIX BOARD
GOV. DONACHFY RESIGNS
TRUSTEES RELUCTANTLY AC- CEPT RESIGNATION OF
 THEIR CHAIRMAN.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
 Former Governor George w. Dona-, ghey rendered his resignation as chairman at todays meeting of the board of trustees of Hendrix College, and after unsuccessfully endeavoring to persuade him to withdraw the res ignation, the trustees elected Dr. James Thomas of Pine Bluff, commis- sioner of education for the college and leader of its campaign for $500, ,000' endowment fund, to fill the vacancy.
 The resignation came as surprise. Governor Donaghey stated that on ac- count of his varied business interests he found it impossible to devote to the position the time it required. The members of the board were unani-. nous in the request that Governor Donaghey reconsider his determina- rtion, but he declined to do so. In choosing his successor, Dr. Thomas was elected unanimously.
 This action was the principal fea- ture of the morning session of the board, which convened at 10:45 a. m. for it's annual meeting. With only three or four exceptions, every one of the B members of the board was present.
 At this afternoons session many important matters were taken up, report of which will be given out at the conclusion of the meeting. The board will probably adjourn tonight Z

COTTON RECEIPTS
 MAY GO TO 3O,OOO OVER 29,OOO BALES HERE COMPRESS RECEIPTS SHOW RECORD-BREAKING CROP GINNING FIGURES.

That the receipts of the Conway Compress Company for the season 1913-1914 will lack but little of reach ing, and will possibly exceed, 30,O00 bales was the statement today of Manager w. J. Murrell. The number of bales of cotton received at the com press up to today is 28,900. There are about 300 bales yet in the hands of local buyers not delivered to the con- press, making the total amount in sight at Conway approximately 29,- 200. Eight hundred bales more will push the receipts to the 0,000-mark, and Manager Murrell has strong hopes that this figure will be reached, if not surpassed.
 Of the receipts at the compress all except 2.SOO bales represent cotton marketed by the growers in Conway. This makes the net local receipts to date 26,400. Cotton in this territory still unmarketed will doubtless bring the. seasons total to 27,OO0 bales, ex- ceeding by over 4,O00 bales the re- ceipts of any previous year.
 The stock on hand at the compress totals 4,379 bales, according to MT. Murrell. Subtracting this from the total receipts indicates the shipments to date to be 24,521 bales. This figure is verified by the record of the Iron Mountain freight office which shows the shipments up to March IS to be 4,326 bales.
 The 1913 cotton crop in Arkansas was the greatest in the history of the state, the census bureau of the department of agriculture announced at Washington yesterday. The states production is 1,071 1859 bales com- pared with the record crop of 1,032,- 920 of 1908, an increase of 38,439 bales. The present record places Arkansas sixth in the production of cotton for 1913. The 1912 crop amounted to 939,302 bales or 93,618 bales less than the present crop. The bales of lint and 639, ,795 of linters, crop at 900 1GG baIes.
 The 1913 crop was one of the largest in the history of the nation. The total production amounted to 14,- 127, 1856 bales, equivalent to 500 pound bales of lint and inter cotton. The the census bureau announced today
 The 1915 cotton crop was the most valuable ever grown and second largest in point of quantity. The statistics announced by the bureau of census today indicated it amounted to 7,3S3, ,557, 300 pounds or 14,767,1 ,151 bales of lint anl linter cotton. The total value of the crop, including the value of cotton seed, is unofficially estimated roundly at more. than one billion compared with $920,000,O00 last year and s936,OOO,OOO for the previous moveable crop of 1912.
 These figures compare with 13,703,- 421 equivalent 50O-pound bales of lint and 609,594 bales of linters last year, and 15,692,7O1 bales of lint and 557,575 bales of lipters in 1911.
 The department of agriculture's estimate announced December 12, placed the 1913 crop at 13,677 ,OOO equivalent 50O-pound bales.

she laughed every time Cummings
