Saved From Destruction by
Union Colonel at Fairfax
Court House in 1862.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The first au-
thoritative explanation OF the manner
in which J. Pierpont Morgan came into
possession Of the Martha Washington
will. to regain the custody Of which the
Governor and citizens of Virginia have
threatened legal measures, was given
out by Mr.. Morgan to-day at the same
time that Mrs. William Cummings Story,
president general of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, read to the
members Of that body. now in national
session here. the entire correspondence
over the document between Gov. II. c.
Stuart OF Virginia and Mr.. Morgan.
"Thc will OF Martha Washington was
taken from the Fairfax Court House
in 1862" Mr.. Morgan said. "by a colonel
Of the Union army, who rescued 1t from
destruction by his men. This officer
retained 1t in his possession for thirty
years and shortly before his death in
1892 gave it to his daughter who, thir-
teen years later. in 1906. sold 1t to the
late ]. Pierpont Morgan.
This account she relate at the time
Of the transfer. She stated that her
fathers regiment garrisoned Fairfax
Court House in 1862 and that he had
headquarters in the Court House. An
other command had previously occupied
the place and the men had broken open
the safes. The floors were Uttered with
papers which the Colonel's men used
in making fires. Entering headquarters
papers into a stove. He stopped them
and in examining the papers found the
Martha Washington will.
"He carefully preserved the document
throughout his life and on the eve Of
his death gave 1t to his daughter"
Mr.. Morgan's Two Plans.
The correspondence shows that Mr..
Morgan suggested to the Governor
OF Virginia two plans for the
preservation and exhibition OF the
Martha Washington will. one is that
Mr.. Morgan would present the will
for public exhibition at Mount Yer
non. the other is that the will be pre-
served by the Congressional Library at
Washington. With both Of these sug-
gestions Mr.. Morgan couples another
that George Washington's will be ex-
hibited with It.
Mr.. Morgan reiterated his objection
to handing over the will to Fairfax
county on the ground that the court
house there is not fireprcos and the
place Is ''out Of the way
Tho reading OF the correspondence
to-day Is the latest development in an
incident that has been full Of stir and
recrimination since the beginning of
the year.
Early in January suit was planned
by the Attorney General of Virginia TO
recover the Martha Washington will.
which had been lost for more than fifty
years before 1t was finally uncovered
in Mr.. Morgan's library. Some one
who had seen the document there and
also knew the efforts which had been
made by the people OF Fairfax county,
Virginia, to recover il. sent word TO
Virginia that it was In Mr. Morgan's
possession

WANTS EXHIBITS FOR
 FRISCO EXPOSITION
DEMONSTRATOR J. w. EARLIER URGES FARMERS TO BEGIN
 SELECTING THEM.

In response to the movement start ed by Governor Hays to have Arkan- sas represented at the Panama expo sition at San Francisco next year, County Demonstration Agent J. w. Earlier is urging the farmers of Faulkner county to begin now to pre- pare exhibits. These are to be shown first at the Faulkner county fair, next at the state fair and finally at the worlds fair.
 'Now is the time to commence as- sembling exhibits of such farm prod ucts as clovers, hay, wheat and oats, said MT. Earlier today. eff all the farmers who grow these products will bring them to Conway and leave them at the stores of D. o. Harton or Cole & Co.,. I will call and get them and take care of them. MT. Cole or Mr. Harton will tag each mans products, and you will all get credit for what you bring.'
 MT. Earlier is much pleased with a specimen of vetch which he has plac- ed on exhibition at D. o. Harton s store. It was grown at 1ngleside by C. J. Green and measures six feet six inches in length. From the same farm MT. Earlier also brought in a specimen of red clover sown on a hill side last fall, measuring two feet It 1-2 inches in length.
 "Mr. Green is prosperous and progressive young farmer" said Mr. Earlier, land he deserves the com nendation of all who want to see Faulkner county prosper"

FAULKNER IS GREAT
 FERTILIZER CONSUMER

That Faulkner county consumes each year more commercial fertilizer than probably any other county in the state, is the opinion of A. M. Sher- rick of St. Louis, representing the Empire Carbon Works of that city, who is spending few days in Con- way with the local representative of the company, R. A. Reynolds. Mr.. Sherrick said at least 150 carloads of fertilizer had been shipped to Con- way this spring, and he does not be- lieve so large an amount was received by any other point in the state for To- cal use. MT. Sherrick claims that he and Major Reynolds started the use of commercial fertilizer in this coun- ty about 12 years ago, after conduct ing campaign among Faulkner county farmers and getting their con- sent to give it a trial.

KIRBY FOLLOWERS
 PLAN HARD FIGHT
IN STATE CONVENTION
SENATORIAL CONTEST WILL BE MAIN FEATURE OF DEM
 OCRATIC ASSEMBLY.

Pine Bluff, May 21.-While many predict that Judge Kirby will be un- successful in his efforts to set aside the action of the State Democratic Committee in giving Senator Jas. P. Clarke the certificate of nomination when the state convention meets in this city on June 3, yet the Kirby fol- lowers are coming to Pine Bluff in numbers and have signifed their in tention of fighting it out on the floor of the convention to the end.
 One prominent Garland county dele Solmson this week for hotel reserva- tons, among other things said "they may give us fine trimming, but Judge Kirby's friends are going to die game. I will be over day before the big show starts"
 The Kirby Clarke contest promises to be the feature of the big political gathering. The sessions are to be inlivened by skirmishes and flank movements on the part of the Kirby Clarke men.
 It is evident from the list of dele gates who will represent the 75 coun- ties in the state that Senator Clarke will have safe majority of the 629 members of the supreme political body. But the Kirby men hope to sway them through argument and appeal.
 The members of the Democratic State Central Committee will arrive day or two earlier than the dele gates in order to outline the program for the convention.
 Several prominent Democrats in the state are being mentioned for the chairmanship.
