COMMISSIONERS 10 BE NAMED JULY l5 NEW ELECTION BOARDS WILL BE APPOINTED BY STATE OFFICIALS -FAULKNER'S
 NOMINATIONS.

Very little interest is being mani fested locally in the appointment of the county board of election commis- sioners for Faulkner county. The state board announced several days ago that the appointments will be made on July 15. A petition said to have been signed by all of the county Democratic nominees and several members of the Democratic County Central Committee has been filed with the board, asking for the appointment of John Lindsey and E. L. King as the Democratic commissioners for this county. It is also understood that the name of J. A. King will be strongly recommended for appointment as one of the commissioners. So far as can be learned no recommendation has been made for the Republican member of the board in this county. Refer ring to the appointment of the com- missioners, recent dispatch from Little Rock says:
 The most interesting political event of this month will be the selection of the county election commissioners, which will take place about July 15. These commissioners are selected by the governor, attorney general and secretary of state. Two Democratic and one Republican commissioner will be selected for each county, and these will in turn select the election judges and clerks for elections held in all counties. The state board of election commissioners has intimated it will follow the recommendations made by county conventions, thus permitting each county to govern it's own affairs. There are going to be changes in many counties, however, radical changes, if rumor can be entertained. In most of these counties there Is keen contest, for the selection of com missioners is very important thing It will be one of the things attacked in the new Brundidge election law, for it has long been claimed that the pow CT to select election commissioners gives state officials too great lever Tn certain counties, and permits them to perpetuate themselves in office, or to railroad their friends into political po- sitions.

GRIFFIN 10 OFFER NEW ELECTION LAW REGISTRATION REQUIRED AS PREREQUISITE TO VOTING IN ACT TO BE INTRODUCED
 NEXT SESSION.

Little Rock, July 10.- Ben Griffin, of this city, member of the next house Of representative and prominent can didate for speaker, wit! be among the first to introduce bill for a new election law, in line with the recom- mendations of the last state Demo cratic convention, which declared that the present state law governing cleo tions is faulty in the extreme and not calculated to increase either the fair
 ness of elections or the harmony of party factions. MT. Griffin was sec retary of the Arkansas Farmers
 Union during the time the state head quarters were located at Conway.
 The law which will be proposed by Mr. Griffin will have as it's main fea- ture preemptory provisions regarding registration. The voter who does not register will not be allowed to vote. This registration will, in the opinion of MT. Griffin, prevent fraud in pri- maries by eliminating the possibility of the adherents of one party slipping in on the primaries of another.
 This, however, will not be the whole measure by any means, says MT. Grif- fin. It will contain elaborate ma chinery as to election contests, ap- peals from one party tribunal to an- other and to the courts, and will also take care of the methods of gathering o,,;Joyoo ;, oopfoc+oJ oacac proviI n IT. what he believes will be simple but eff fective methods for securing all the pertinent matter in connection with alleged fraudulent returns.
 In the preparation of his bill MT. Griffin says he will have due regard to the convention action at Pine Bluff and will endeavor to have the bill con- form as nearly as possible to what he believes the best interests of the state demand. He will probably con- fer with members of the committee by the state convention to draw up a new election law and of which former Congressman Steve Brundidge, of Searcy, is chairman, and of which Judge Joseph M. Hill, of Fort Smith, Judge John l. Moore, of Helena; Judge John M. Stayton of Newport, and Judge Joe House of Little Rock, are the other members.
 Whether this committee will draw up a measure without consultation with members of the legislature and then seek to secure it's passage or will take up the matter with some mem- Der and have the measure as sort of conference product before it is in troduced has not yet been announced.

TILLMAN DIES,

Special to the Log Cab,n Democrat
 Paris, Ark, July 15.-At 2 o'clock this morning Arthur Tillman paid with his life the extreme penalty for the murder of Amanda Stevens, young girl of Delaware, Logan county, whom he was convicted of foully mur- dering.
 Until his last breath Tillman vigor- ously denied his guilt and declared that an innocent man was being put to death.
 After he had mounted the scaffold the condemned man vigorously de- nounced the trial judge, Judge Jeptha Evans, and said that but for him he would not have been convicted. As the black cap was being adjusted, however, he murmured a prayer for the jurist who condemned him to die.
 Tillman maintained his nerve until the last. His neck was broken by the plunge through the scaffold and death was almost instantaneous.

 It was impossible to communicate with members of the state board over the telephone this afternoon, as at 8 o'clock the board was still in session and had only reached Jackson county, taking the counties in alphabetical order.

 "On July IA, 1913, County Treasur- CT R. K.

On April 2, 1919, R. K. Wilk- erson, treasurer, receipts J.. Ii. Hartje, circuit clerk, for $10.35 in county warrants, which item does not appear on the books of either the treasurer or the county clerk. On June 24, 1913, R. K.

 County Treasurer J. H. Bailey has in the banks in the city $7,432.75, which amounts corresponds to the amounts to the credit of the various funds, as shown on the books of the county clerk and treasurer.

PLAN ROAD FROM
 hEB[R TO CONWAY
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
CLEBURNE COUNTY CITIZENS WANT CONNECTION WITH
 PROPOSED PIKE.

Heber Springs, July 13.-A good
 roads movement was launched last week at Quitman, Cleburne county, which if carried out according to the
 plans proposed, will result in giving
 Heber Springs direct connection with the pike highway now under course of construction from Little Rock to Ft. Smith.
 A very enthusiastic meeting was held at Quitman and was attended by representatives of this city, Con- way and several other towns located on the route of the proposed macad- amized road The Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad had it's represen- tatives present also. Preliminary steps necessary to the formation of the improvement district were taken and the matter will be presented to the commissioner of state lands in accordance with the laws pertaining to such.
 At the last session of the Legisla- ture an act was passed providing for the office of commissioner of state lands, the duty of the commissioner being to ascertain the practicability of constructing public roads in any particular section of the state where as many as 25 residents petition for the formation of an improvement dis trict to improve the roads traversing said district. If the plans of the peti- tioners look practicable and the com missioner sees fit to send an engineer to go over the roads and make gen. eral survey and estimate of cost, es- tablish boundary lines, make the grades, a list of the valuation of the property embraced in the district formed is made and the amount of tax required to pay the bonds for the construction of the road if levied. After each taxpayer is notified official ly of the exact amount he will be required to pay annually toward the building and upkeep of the highway, an election is held in the district, and if carried by a majority, the district is legally formed and the road is con- structed. Under this act the pro- posed pike from Heber Springs by way of Pearson, Guy, Greenbrier and Quitman to Conway is to be built.
 An intense interest is being worked up throughout the affected section, and it is a certainty that the matter will be carried overwhelmingly at the general election this fall The people are awakening to the fact that good roads between here and Little Rock, intersecting the state highway soon to be built running through the state, will materially boost Heber Springs and Cleburne county and help to make them the most frequented places in the state on account of the geographi- cal location as we'll as the other at fractions of importance to the com monwealth.
 The M. & N. A. railroad officials are backing the movement and lending much real assistance.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-07-16

The above dispatch will be read with much interest here, and that the proposed road will be enthusiastically supported at Conway is regarded as certain. It will be necessary, how ever, for amendment to the present highway improvement district law to be passed by the next legislature, or a special law enacted, before bonds can be foated for the construction of the road. When the proposed Vllonla- Conway pike was agitated a few months ago, it was learned through an opinion of Rose, Hemingway, Cantrell & Loughborough of Little Rock, whose approval is required of all Arkansas bonds issues, that the present road improvement district law is practically invalid, due to no pro- vision being made to prevent as- sessors from lowering the amount of assessments to a point where the bond would be defaulted.
 When the defect is remedied several road improvement districts will doubt less be immediately organized in Faulkner county.

make themselves evident.
Combinations of two materials are
featured in tailored gowns for spring.
A plain cloth skirt with a plaid Jacket,
or cross-barred skirt with a plain
coat, or figured material trimmed
with checks, are bright and pleasing
Perhaps the bestliked combination Of
all is that of black MORE silk in bands
and flounces on cloth of contrasting
color.
The draped collar must not 60 un-
mentioned. 1t lies in loose folds across
the back and is cut sailor-fashion with
pointed ends forming a "V" at the
neck. 1t is among the most striking
and becoming of the touches that
mark the tailored gowns of this sea
son.
The extremely short jacket and coat
ronts lengthen the appearance of the
figure at the front. BY observing the
different models selection Is possible
that will either lengthen or shorten
The apparent height of the wearer.
Altogether We have not had more
attractive suits than these But coats
have been more shapely and rather
more difficult to make than the loose
hanging variety which is now the
vogue, JULIA BOTTOMlEY.
