MORRILTON SHIPS PEACHES.

The first carload shipment of peaches on the central division of the Iron Mountain railway and the first from any section of Arkansas was sent out from here last Wednesday a week ago. The peaches are of the Early Wheeler variety and of excep- tionally good quality. Two cars were sent out that afternoon and night and one last Thursday, all three being consigned to Kansas City markets. The shipments brought up to $1.5O per bushel and the three cars sent repre- sent an unusually heavy yield of this early peach. The yield is short every where and only very few points had enough fruit to complete carload. The market was strong owing to the fact that the Texas crop of peaches had not then started to moving. Ship ments of Elbertas will begin here about the middle of next month and promise to be heavy from this point. Headlight.

From Mondays Daily.
 Several of the local committee who guaranteed the sale of $1,000 worth of season tickets to the Conway chau- tauqua will not pay their subscrip- tions of S25 each unless forced to do so by the courts, it was learned today. Manager C. E. Booth, representative of the White 6 Meyers chautauqua system, said today that while few had settled their subscriptions others declared their signatures were secur- ed through misrepresentation and they did not consider themselves lia- ble MT. Booth said the bureau would bring suit to collect these unpaid sub scriptions.
 Although the sale of season tickets is reported to be very small, good crowds have been attending the var ious attractions, the seating capacity being almost filled yesterday. The musical program yesterday was fur nished by the Tyrolean Alpine sing ers, and those who attended were well pleased with their performance. At the afternoon program Dr. James Hedley, who is well known as a plat form orator here, delivered his famous lecture, "What is Man Worth?" At night, following a preliminary concert by the Tyroleans, MT. Booth delivered an interesting sermon-lecture to an appreciative audience.
 LoZito's Italian band furnished the attraction for this afternoon and to- night, and in addition to music by the band, pictures of the Panama-Pacifc exposition will be shown.

CONSIDER CHANCE IN
 NEGRO NORMAL SCHOOL
AT PINE BLUFF MAY BE MADE A FARM
 SCHOOL.

Little Rock, June 27.-Prof. J. c. Futrall, president of the University of Arkansas, passed through Little Rock Friday evening, en route to Pine Bluff, where he will preside over a meeting of the branch normal com mittee of the board of trustees of the University. The principal topic for consideration will be the sale of the present normal site and the purchase of a large tract of acreage near that city, upon which to establish more extensive branch normal, with agri- cultural pursuits made the chief topic. AS the grounds of the present normal are quite valuable, and the business men of Pine Bluff favor rather than object to such a change, for 1t will increase the attendance of the institu- ton several fold, there is little doubt but that the property will be placed on the market and negotiations open ed for another site.

NEGROES BARRED BY PUL ASK| 60. t. O. P.
DOOR OF HOPE IS SHUT
CALLS CONNEN- TON TO BE HELD AT
 MARION HOTEL.

Little Rock, June 30.-Without ad- vance notice and with scarcely word of apology, the white majority in the Pulaski County Republican Central Committee, at meeting held yester- day morning at the Chamber of Com merce, deprived of representation the Republican negroes of the county. Negroes no longer will be given rep resentation in the party organization of the county nor will they be allowed even a voice in the selection of the party's candidates. All they may do in the future is bindly to vote the ticket or seek suffrage expression with some other party.
 The negroes were told that the ac- ton which thrust them outside the counsels of the party that has protited so long by their votes was for their good, and that they were mot read out of the party" The negroes thought differently, however, and inn mediately organized and called a county convention for July 6 at the Mosaic temple, Ninth and Broadway
 The white Republicans of Pulaski county will meet in convention on the same date at the Hotel Marion.
 Both conventions, each claiming to be the regular Republican convention, will elect II delegates and Il alter mates to represent the party at the Republican state convention July IA. The call for the white convention in- cludes also the election of a county ticket and new County Central Com mittee, to be composed of white Re- publicans only.

DISTRICT
 MAY BE DROPPED

As a result of the failure of prop erty owners to reach an agreement 1t is understood that the plan to pave North Front street from the Commer- cial Hotel to Hendrix College will be abandoned. The property was organ ized by the city council at it's last meeting as Street Improvement Dis trict No. 2, but it is now stated that the second petition required to com plete the organization will not be pre- sented.
 The failure of the district is said to be due to the refusal of Hendrix College to sign the second petition without definite understanding as to the amount of benefits which would be assessed against the institution for the improvement It is stated that outside of Hendrix College the assess ed valuation of the property in the district is only about $13,000 and that approximately $7,000 would be re- quired to do the paving. As the dis trict would be limited to the eXpendl- UuTc Ol ~ pcI Ccllt VI IiiC StoH~NN~N valuation, it would be necessary for Hendrix College to place an assess ment on the tax books of a sufficient amount to bring the total valuation to at least five times the cost of the i'm provement As stated, the authorities of the college are unwilling to take this step and to sign the petition unless they can be assured that the assess ment of benefits against the college will not be burdensome, and no one IS in a position to give this assurance.
 The second petition for Street lm- District No. 3, embracing West Oak, Caldwell and a portion of Center street, is being circulated to- day. and those in charge of the peti- tion said that there had not been single refusal among the property owners to sign. The petition will un- receive the required ma iority and will be presented to the council at it's next meeting, July IA.

FARMER SUCCESSFUL
 IN GROWING GLOVER

Of the more successful farmers of the eastern portion of the county per-. haps none are so well known as Hal llett Towery of near Eglantine. MT. Towery belongs to that class who rec ognize farming as a business the same as selling goods, banking or manufac turing, and applies the same business principles to his farm work as he does to other lines in which he is also in- terested, that of banking for instance.
 But MT. Towery was a farmer be- fore he became a banker, and that he still banks on the farm is evidenced by the fact that he continues to re- side thereon and to give it his per sonal attention, delegating his bank ing and other interests to the services of others. Among other things grown on the farm upon which MT. Towery banks, is red clover, something he has been growing for the past 30 or 40 years.
 That he finds clover profitable is easily figured from the following: On nine acres recently cut the Advocate of Shirley says he harvested 800 9O- pound bales, or 22 1-2 tons. Counted at $20 per ton, we find that MT Tow cry has made $450 worth of nay on these nine acres, and it is reasonable to suppose he will cut another $25O worth of hay this season, making total of $70O.-Clinton Democrat.

URGES MORE INTEREST IN THE COUNTY CONTEST PROF. BRYANT WRITES OF THE DUTY OF FAULKNER COUN-
 TY TEACHERS.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 At the request of Prof. J. P. Ak ridge. chairman of the county contest, I will write what l think is the duty of every person who teaches.
 First, he should prepare himself for this noble work, so that he may train pupils to be productive citlzens. He should go into the schoolroom feeling his great responsibility; lew ing his position from the standpoint that his time belongs to the pupils and community at large, not only hve days in the week, but seven.
 Tact and taste for teaching are very essential, in order that one may be in sympathy with his work. II he does not possess these attributes I am afraid he will fail to do his duty in many instances.
 The teacher should be leader in the district in which he teaches. don't mean to be dogmatic Tn his ac- tions, but sympathetic. As a gen. eral rule, the community looks to the teacher to take the iniative, if he con- ducts himself in the proper attitude.
 Am I wrong when l say that great per cent of the teachers do just enough to draw their salaries, and really at heart don't want to do that? Can we expect to reach very high mark in the profession so long as we practice such high-handed robbery?
 The county contest is project Tn which every live teacher should be ln- terested-one that will receive the hearty support and cooperation Of both pupils and parents, if the teach CT manifests the proper amount of ln- terest and enthusiasm. Every school that participates in this contest will receive social and intellectual develop ment. This is now the opportune time to cultivate the friendly rivalry that should exist anon gthe schools of Faulkner county.
 There are three reasons teacher may offer for not participating Tn this contest. First, 'I am a moral coward" meaning that he is afraid to get into the fight; second, 'I am too lazy.n admitting that he does not love his job, and only teaching to get a few dollars-thats all; third, q can't get representatives, confessing that he has very little influence and is a poor leader.
 I think the wideawake teacher who loves his work will get into the "col- lar ,nso to speak, and push any enter prise that will elevate the boys and girls of his country.
 Of all the duties that I have men, tioned, the county contest is one of the greatest. So let's all perform this duty well, and we will be awarded in proportion to what we put into it.

WELL KNOWN EDUCATORS ON THE PROGRAM FOR
 ADDRESSES.

Mayfower, June 30.-The people of Providence met on the evening of June 26 to witness the school work as demonstrated by every grade of pu- pills in school. The school work was so thoroughly enjoyed and such en- thusiasm aroused that they at once began work on the stage and table for the Fourth of July rally. It had already been decided that there should be a rally, but interest ran high and enough money was donated to buy ice that no one should suffer from thirst on that day. It was also decided to serve free lemonade.
