Get me my pistol; let me kill
him." cried Representative Ben John
son of Kentucky, when he and John
R. Shields, a Washington lawyer,
clashed in the District of Columbia
committee room in Washington the
other day.
Mr.. Shields was hustled out of the
committee room by scared members
and clerks and the door between the
two offices was slammed shut, barring
in Johnson for perhaps a moment.
johnson soon flung the inner door
open, however, and sought to follow
Shields down the corridor. He was
restrained by Congressman Reed
German, and others.
Johnson upbraided his clerk, Fred
Allen, for holding him when he sought
to go after a pistol
That's all right, Ben, he's gone
now" said Congressman Reed.
So angry was Johnson that it re-

REALIZING ON HIS POLICY.

The president of the health insur-
ance company was displeased, not to
say ruffied. He considered himself a
downy bird, sharp-eyed spectator
and a knowing card. The principal
business of his company was to insure
people against illness. That is, for
the payment of a certain amount an
nually they could collect an indemnity
for all the time they were i'll.
The prize writer of this insurance
stood before the president and bowed
his head to the storm of reproach
which was cast upon him.

ident.

CANDIDATES END
CAMPAIGN HERE
SPEAK AT COURTHOUSE
GOOD VOTE IS EXPECTED AS
WEATHER AND ROAD CONDI-
TIONS IMPROVE.

With a spicy but pleasant inter-
change of campaign speeches at the
courthouse in this city today, the
Faulkner county Democratic campaign
came to an end. Secretary George
Shaw of the Democratic County Cen
trail Committee presided at the meet
ing and introduced the speakers.
Taking the bottom end of the ticket
first, the candidates for assessor made
their announcements as the opening
feature, and were followed by the can
didates for treasurer and sheriff. The
two candidates for representative also
spoke in the forenoon, and the alter
noon session was taken up with ad-
dresses by the candidates for county
Judge. circuit clerk and county clerk.
Although only few hours remain
until the opening of the polls, disln-
terested local politicians were never
more at sea in making predictions as
TO the outcome. That several of the
races will be close is foregone con-
clusion.
With 80 candidates for total OF
nine positions, 81 are inevitably DOOM
ed to defeat, yet among the entire 30
TODAY. not one could be found who did
not feel that he had a good chance to
win, and not one shows any DISPOSE
ton toward conceding the nomination
of an opponent. The only candidates
however, who can be said to be assured
of nomination are B. G. Wilson Tor
surveyor and J. A. Pence, who alone
occupy the comfortable position of be-
ing without opposition.
Fair weather for the past few days
has helped the condition of the roads
and the indications now are that
reasonably large vote will be cast.
Local Manager G. w. Summons
stated this afternoon that telephone
communication over the entire county
will be available Tuesday night over
the Southwestern and rural lines. The
Vilonia contract, mentioned as having
expired. has not been renewed, but the
Holland-Mt. Vernon line has been put
in good shape, and Vilonia can be
reached also over this line.
Returns of the election will be re-

ELECTION RETURNS
MAY BE RETARDED
RURAL PHONE LINES OUT
VILONIA LINE, COVERING EAST
HALF OF COUNTY, IS
DISCONNECTED.

Unless a renewal of a rural tele-
phone contract between the South
western Telegraph & Telephone Com
pany and the Vilonia lines, which ex-
pired on January 1, is received here
by Tuesday, it will be impossible to
receive any returns from the primary
election in the eastern half of the
county on the night following the
primary, January 6. This line, which
was the only means of telephone COM
munication with nine townships, is
now disconnected, and, although re-
newal of the contract has been for
warded to Southwestern headquar-
tiers for approval, Local Manager G.
w. Summons said today it is by no
means sure that the connection will
be restored by Tuesday.
In addition to this the line to Sal
tillo, Chadwick and Cato is out of
commission, making it impossible to
hear from Pierce Creek or Wilson
townships, and many of the branch
lines over the county are down. The
townships cut off from Conway by
the disconnection of the Vilonia line
include Eagle, Palarm, Cypress,
Harve, Newton, Bristol, Enola, Mt.
Vernon and Mountain, several of
which are among the largest in the
county outside of Cadron township.
Manager Summons states, however,
that there should be no difficulty in
reaching the western and northern
townships in the county, over the
Mailman and Quitman lines, which
are in good shape. The townships
which are available over these lines
are Clifton, East Fork, Hardin,
Union, Walker, Benton and probably
Mathews. Benedict and Pine Noun
tain townships can be reached over
lines belonging to the local exchange
and Danley can be communicated
with at Mayfower.
If the Vilonia connection is restored
by Tuesday it will be possible to hear
from every township on election night,
with the probable exception of Pierce
Creek, Wilson and Mathews, which
usually cast light vote, and even
these may be reached over branch
lines.
The Log Cabin Democrat expects
to receive returns from every town.

election night, and the returns will

as they can Sc secured.

PROMOTfRSSt SECURE
|NTERURBAN FUNDS
TO BEGIN WORK AT ONCE
PASSAGE OF LITTLE ROCK
: FRANCHISE ASSURES ROAD
TO PINE BLUFF.

Little Rock, Jan. 1.-THE promoters
of the Pine Bluff interurban, for
which the Little Rock city council
granted a franchise Monday night,
announce that they have closed all
preliminary arrangements for the
necessary funds through ST. Louis
house, and that it is their purpose to
begin active construction work at
once. The city council has been work
ing for several months on the fran
chise, and at last after two had been
vetoed by Mayor Taylor, has con-
cluded a contract that it is believed
will be equitable for all parties con-
cerned. The terms are liberal for the
companies, and the rights of the pub
lie are protected.
The work of selling the 100000 of
preferred stock of the Hot Springs
interurban is progressing, and the
promoters are confident they will be
able to dispose of it. Several thous-
and prospectuses and blank stock
subscriptions have been sent out, and
returns are coming in from these.
There are large, active committees in
Little Rock, Hot Springs, and the
state at large for the sale of this
stock. The secretary of the subscrlp-
ton committee, L. Grant, who has
given the greater part of his time for
the last six years to this promotion
enterprise, writes in his letter to the
public:
at requires no argument on our
part to convince every citizen as to
the value of the proposed interuroan
to the city of Little Rock and to the
state as well, and we ask you to CO.
operate with, and join us in the under
taking to build this road, by subscrlb-
ing literally for the cumulative pre-
ferred stock, which our investigation
iustifes us in believing this will prove
a profitable investment"

COUNTY CAMPAIGN
TO END AT CONWAY
CROWDS AT SPEAKING
CANDIDATES REPORTED TO
HAVE HAD GOOD ATTEND
ANCE AT APPOINTMENTS.

With an extra speaking appoint
ment at Beryl tonight, the county cam
paign in the rural districts of Faux
ner county will end and the caravan
of candidates, after making a weary
round over many miles of mud, will
wend their way to this city, where the
last stand will be made Monday.
Reports from the campaign are to
the effect that the speakers have been
greeted with fairly good crowds at
each appointment, the attendance at
Holland being especially good. The
candidates spoke this morning at vi
lonia and decided yesterday to fill an
extra engagement at Beryl tonight.
The speaking at Conway will be- had
at the courthouse and will begin at 10
o'clock a. m. Addresses will be deliv-
cred by George NJ Cornell and G. E.
Condray, candidates for representa-
tive, and J. w. Holt, E. L. Smith and
E. M. Merriman, candidates for coun-
ty judge, the candidates for the other
positions combining themselves to brief
announcements.
The ballots and poll books for the
election have been delivered by Secre-
tary George Shaw of the Democratic
County Central Committee, and every
thing is in readiness for the primary,
which will be held on Tuesday. If the
fair weather continues until that date,
there will be much Improvement in the
condition of the roads, which will
probably have the effect of bringing
out larger vote than was expected
few days ago.

COURT ENJ0|NS
STOCK ISSUANCE

Chancellor Jordan Sellers, sitting at
chambers at Morrilton, yesterday
granted temporary restraining order
in favor of J. w. James and against
D. O. Harton, w. B. Stark, j. Frank
Jones, G. L. Banner, Gus Bush and b.
L. Harton, directors of the Conway
Compress Company, enjoining them
from issuing or disposing of or voting
certain shares of stock of the COM
press company, which James alleges
were wrongfully issued by the defend
ants to themselves. Mr.. James alleged
that the defendants had refused to al
low him to subscribe for his pro rata
share of the additional stock issue, as
sorting that he was entitled to share
in the new issue of stock in proper
ton to his holdings in the original
CAPITAL. The case will probably be
finally tried at the March term OF the
chancery court. The defendants, IN
their answer, denied that they had
Disseminated unjustly against Mr.
James. and alleged that they were ful-
w authorized to make the allotment
of the stock as made by them. Inc
hearing at Morrilton was attended by
