DELEGATES OFF
 10 CONVENTION
BOTH SETS TO AlTENU
REGULARS HAVE ADVANTAGE OF BEING ENROLLED ON
 SECRETARY ROLL.

Out of the forty-odd delegates and alternates composing the regular and contestlng delegations from Faulkner county Co the state Democratic con vention at Pine Bluff, the only two men who were sure of seats will prob ably not attend These are Sheriff J. $. Johnson and W. NJ. Harrell, both of whom were chosen as delegates by each of the conventions. Both stated today, however, that they did not ex- pect to go to Pine Bluff.
 Alarge number from this county left last night and this morning to be present at the opening skirmish, which Is expected to take place before the Satte Democratic Central Committee today, when the temporary roll of the convention will be made up. Among those who are already in Pine Bluff are Jo Frauenthal, Col. c. W. Bruce, R. w. Robins and G. s. McHenry delegates from the regular conven- tion, and Postmaster H. E. Ingram, Judge P. H. Prince, R. G. Bruce and R. D. White of the eontesting delega- tion.
 The regulars have one advantage to begin with, in that their names will be certified as delegates by Secretary w. G. Hutton of the State Central Committee, and the burden will be upon those elected by the bolting con vention to prove their rights to repre- sent this county.
 It is considered highly probable, however, that the committee, which is completely under the domination and control of Senator Clarke, will throw out the regular delegate and seat the contesting delegation from Faulkner county, in order to prevent the II votes from this county from being cast in favor of Judge Kirby, who car ried the county by large majority The general opinion seems to be that Judge kirby's contest is a hopeless one and that the Clarke forces, who captured the delegations in several large counties carried by Kirby, will be in control of the convention. The convention proper will be called to order at noon tomorrow. Up to this morning Senator Clarke and his friends had not announced who their choice would be for temporary chair man. It is understood that the sen ators selection would be ratified by the committee

SALT TO RELIEVE CATARRH
Remedy That Ia Easily Within the Reach of All Is Said to Be
 EfficacIous.

Dozens of remedies are said to be cures for catarrh, and many do excel lent work in that disease, but every household contains the best known remedy. and 1t is actually so simple that most persons disregard its mer. It's.
 Dissolve a pinch of ordinary table salt in one-fourth of pint of warm water, and pour little in the palm of the hand and place the nostrils in 1t and snuff 1t up the nose. taking care that some reaches the tissues of the tubes reaching to the mouth
 Repeat several times. and then wait for ten or twelve hours and repeat the treatment. Keep this up for g week or two. and catarrh will disap- pear.
 Strong salt water will cause pain in the head. but weak, warm water Is perfectly harmless and will cleanse the tissues 70 enectually than any other remedy.
 This treatment is great breath purifier and will clear up the throat.
 little stronger salt water used as a gargle will relieve sore throat and aid in preventing diphtheria.

NEEDS COURAGE AND SPI!iT.
Passive Obedience Has Never M lde for Man or Woman a Place in
 Pages of History.

We moderns are popularly suppo ed to have been the first to profess ad, miration for the strong-minded wom. an, whom we proudly or derisiv ely call the new" woman. Yet if we study history, and not merely hear say, we find that the heroines of the world were by no means gentle, sub missive creatures.
 Electra, whom the ancients exalted far above her milder sister, Chry so- themis, would certainly have been a suffragette, had she lived in this cen tury.
 Cleopatra, Hypatia, Joan of Arc, however diverse otherwise, were at least alike in rebelling against au- thority and following their own way.
 Rowena would have seemed more attractive had she eloped with Ivan- hoe, and we all prefer the nobler Re- becca, who nearly died a martyr be- cause she was among the first lady doctors.
 From time immemorial courage and spirit have been extolled, and Justly so, too. People who feel deeply can not always be passive. Thsy wish to control destiny, not to be controlled by 1t. and sometimes they actually succeed in their desire. through their very refusal to accept the inevitable.
 Obedience Is apt to be often over- rated virtue which may be the result Of indifference or laziness, a mere craving for peace at any price, in- stead of genuine and unseltish hu- mility.

Ar Brakes for AeropIanes.

A highly ingenious device is about to be embodied in a new British aero plane now nearing completion. A diff fcult problem. which has always con. fronted the aeroplane designers. has been that of enabling machines to land at a reasonably slow speed and yet ny as fast as possible. The neces- sity of this provision may be gauged from the fact that the modern aero plane. with It's full load. weighs the better part of a ton. and that the usual flying speeds range from sixty 10 eighty miles an hour. Accordingly, Afr. A. V. Roe. the well-known de. signer. has adopted tho expedient of providing his latest biplane with what he termed lair brakes" These con sist of flaps hinged to the rear of the planes. capable of being turned at right angles to the direction of flight, with the object of enabling the pilot to reduce his speed materially pre- parstory to alighting.
