SUE BENNETT SCHOOL.

The Sue Bennett Memorial School was opened in 1897 with 75 students. In the Is years since it was organized some 2,000 students have been en- rolled
 The school graduated it's first class in 1901. Since then 23 young men and Is young women have finished the course. In the matter of scholarship, the graduates are ranked with the Louisville Male High School, one of the best schools in the United States. Laurel, the county in which this school is located, has a population of 10000. Eighty per cent of the common schools in this county were taught last year by teachers who had their training in the Sue Bennett school
 A judge in this district said that he knew of no single factor that compar- ed with this school in it's formative and constructive influence, and that the effects were plainly visible all over his district.
 The president of the state univers- ity also speaks in the highest terms of the students coming from this school.
 Besides it's intellectual, moral and spiritual value to the community, it is by far the most powerful factor there is in stimulating and building up the economic and industrial life of the people.
 While this school has done wonders with its limited resources, those in charge feel that its usefulness would be multiplied many fold if it had an endowment of $250,000 and $50 ,O00 in new buildings.

This society meets alternate Wednesdays. Often a social feature is introduced which gives added pleasure to the meeting. A letter from our state Y. w. c. A. representative, Miss Swan, who is now working in Kaifng Howan, China, is very encouraging, though more work CTS and better equipment are needed and she is anxiously looking forward to the time when our girls will make it possible for foreign building to be erected which will serve as center for work among women and children. She is hoping and praying earnestly that the Christians in America may keep out of the war field and prevent the missionary work from suffering, especially now as China's doors are wide open. What great opportunity the youth of our churches have before them today!

 The rattle of muskets brought her out of the fit of abstraction into which she had fallen. She shrank away in the shadow of a packing case, squeez- ing herself into as small a space as pos sible. her breath coming fast as she saw the officer who commanded the squad of soldiers march up the gang plank just as the captain descended to inquire what his business was. Then the tall figure of Hugo Loubeque ap- peared beside the pair, offering to translate the soldiers words.
 He is hunting an American girl left III in the town. It appears she shot and wounded her nurse and bound a Chinese soldier, taking his clothes and making her escape" said the spy.
 Well, there's no such person aboard" gruffiy retorted the officer of the ship.
 Again Loubeque turned to the soldier, but the man shook his head vehemently.
 "He nust search the vessel Those are his orders," interpreted the spy, then, you really can't blame him. cap tain"
 The officer nodded consent, adding grimly that he would stand for any. thing that did not entail delaying the boats sailing on schedule.
 As the eavesdropping girl watched the soldiers march the gangplank and disappear in different parts of the boat according to the instructions given them by their superior, she could see from the spy's words that he would not delay his own departure to assist her; that once more his motive of re venge was all dominant in his nature that tenderness for the daughter of the woman he loved would never again interfere with the carrying out of his plans.
 surely some power greater than thot or even the international spy was look ing over and defending her! She bow ed her head in mute gratitude.

AN UNNECESSARY ELECTION.

The election of November again demonstrates the wisdom of consoli- dating the state and federal elections held in this state every two years, These elections were separated up- upon the resumption of power by the Democrats immediately following the reconstruction, the purpose being to on the resumption of power by the state election. The occasion in those times fully justified the extra expense of time and money caused by a sep arate election, but the need of it has now long since passed into history.
 If the present apathy and lack of interest in the November elections is continued, the separated election will some day bring about the very con- tingency which it was designed to prevent-the election of Republicans to office On last Tuesday the Repub- icans came perilously near carrying Faulkner county, for the first time in its history at federal election. Had the members of the Republican party in this county conducted a quiet cam paign to bring out their voters, Faulk- ner would have been found in the Re publican column.
 But the main objection is the un- necessary expense of holding two cleo tions. It will cost Faulkner county more than a dollar apiece for every vote that was cast on November g., whereas, every cent of this cost could have been saved if the two elections were held together. Besides this, there is the considerable item of the loss of time of the voters who have to make an extra trip. to the polls.
 Contrary to the popular belief, it is not necessary to- %pend the state constitution in order to change the date of the general election. While the constitution of 1874 fixed the time for the election, it provided at the same time that this date might be changed by the general assembly; and, in fact, the general assembly of 1907 changed the time of holding the election from the first to the second Monday in September, in order to avoid conflicting with labor day. The next legislature will perform a notable service for the people if it will change the time of the state cleo tion to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, to corre- spond with the time fixed by federal statutes for the congressional election.

WHEN the Faulkner county levying court refused to make an appropria- tion for the continuance of a farm ;demonstrator, and then turned around and appropriated $670 for the pur- chase of two bloodhounds, the Con- way Log Cabin Democrat chronicled the action in these words: "The Faulkner county quorum court on Wednesday swapped off the county's farm demonstration, canning club agent and road commissioner for a couple of hound dogs. This IS rec ord of which we do not believe the justices composing the court will in future years have cause to feel proud" It does seem that the above action would indicate that Faulkner county in at least one respect IS go ing to the dogs '-Searcy Citizen.
 No, we are not going to the dogs, even if the dogs are. coming to us. Our belief is that the business mon of Conway will give our farmers what the levying court has denied them; that the demonstration work will be kept up and that Faulkner county Will continue to be the most progressive agricultural county in the state.

Corn and Peppers
Make This and Try 1t
for Coughs
This Home-Made Remedy has
no Equal for Prompt
Results.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
" pint OF warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex (fifty
cents, WORTH in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold of a
cough more quickly than anything else
you ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough inside of "a hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchitis. 1t
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end q cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made
for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is most valuable concen-
tIated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
so healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup Tor strained honey has
proven so popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
initiated. But the old, successful mix
ture has never been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co.. Ft. Wayne, Ind.

men and debutants, young men and
dignified matrons. and the younger set
of course went through figure after
figure of the latest dances. The MEM
bers of the Phoenix club, like those
of other clubs in the city are both cab
aret and tango wild and they enjoyed
themselves Immensely last night.
As the guests were seated they were
served with a cold plate lunch of tur-
key, tongue, cheese salads and acees-
series
Miss Margaret Schwartz was greeted
with much applaus a her entrance and
