WEATHER MAY BE FACTOR AT POLLS FARMERS ARE VERY BUSY WEATHER SUITABLE TO FARM WORK MAY KEEP MANY
 FROM VOTING.

The result of Wednesdays Demo- cratic primary, especially in the sena- torlal race, may be influenced to a considerable extent by the weather. It is conceded on both sides that Senator Clarke's strength is largely in the cit les and towns, while that of Judge Kirby IS largely in the rural districts. With the farmers badly behind with their crop preparations, many of them will hesitate to lose a days work in their fields if the weather is favorable for farm work. On the other hand, if rain should occur they will turn out in large numbers and practically the full vote of the county will be cast. The weather forecast is for unsettled weather with probable rain tonight and Wednesday, and if this forecast is verified it is consider ed that it will be favorable to the in- terest oI Judge Kirby.
 A careful estimate of the situation in this county, based upon a close in quiry leaves no doubt that Judge Kir- by will carry at least IS of the 23 townships and will receive at least 70 per cent of the votes cast in the coun- ty. It is probable that the vote vii not greatly exceed 2,000
 Much interest is manifested locally in the race for circuit judge between George w. Clark of Conway, Thomas C. Trimble of Lonoke and James S. Thomas of Clarendon. Judge Trim ble is spending the last few days of the campaign in Mir. Clark's county, while several friends of Judge Thom- as are also active in his behalf here. MT. Clark has been canvassing other counties in the district for the past two weeks and will not return until tomorrow afternoon.
 The Log Cabin Democrat office will be open until midnight on the night of the election, and at it's own ex- pense this paper will endeavor to se- cure over the long distance telephone the returns from this county as rap idly as they are counted out, as we'll as all information possible from the state at large. The public generally is cordially invited to be present and hear the returns.

.DR. THOMAS HEADS
 HENDRIX BOARD GOV. DONACHEY RESIGNS TRUSTEES RELUCTANTLY AC CEPT RESIGNATION OF
 THEIR CHAIRMAN.

Former Governor George w. Dona- ghey rendered his resignation as chairman at today's 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 $3O0,O endowment fund, to fill the vacancy.
 The resignation came as a 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. tion, 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, a report of which will be given out at the conclusion of the meeting. The board will probably adiourn tonight

COURT DECIDES
 IMPORTANT CASE .CHANCERY PROCEEDINGS CASE OF GEBAUER VS. INGRAM AND BRUCE DECIDED IN
 DEFENDANTS FAVOR.

Almost the entire afternoon session of the Faulkner chancery court Mon day was occupied with the hearing of the case of Catherine Gebauer and others against H. B. Ingram and G. W. Bruce, involving the title to the Florin place, an S0-acre tract of land on the Bsebe road, just east of Con- way. The plaintiff sought to estab- fish a lien for about $1,500, principal and interest, against the defendants, who had acquired the interests of cer- tain heirs in the property, alleging that she had paid off a mortgage in 1892. The court held, however, that the alleged lien was barred by laches and estoppel as against the two de- fendants but gave the plaintiff judg- ment against her co-plaintiffs for their pro rata share of the indebted ness. The property was ordered sold at commissioners sale for partition

LAST ANTIQUATED
 AWNING IS REMOVED

The construction of a new modern awning in front of Dr. George s. Browns building adjoining the Bank of Conway marks the removal of the last old-fashioned column supported awning on Front street, between Oak and North streets. Every building in the two blocks is now fronted with either steel or movable cloth awnings, and the street presents much better appearance than it did a few years ago when wooden awnings were used.
