to exist another year. But mere tret-
full protests will do no good. 1t is go
ing to take action and money! con-
siderable amount of both.
A thing, however, which should DE
born in mind is that it will not be at
all necessary to surface all the streets
with macadam or other permanent
material. If one-half, or even one
third, of the streets should be macad-
amized, and the principal streets Sc
Iected for improvement, these lmproV-
ed streets would carry perhaps 30 per
cent of the city's traffic. With proper
grading and drainage the small re
naming proportion of the traffic could
easily traverse the ordinary dirt
streets without causing them to be cut
I'D into deep ruts and mudholes.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

One of the best possible means of
insuring against fraud in the primary
election of January will be to count
and make public the returns in each
voting place Immediately after the
polls close. The people have right to
be suspicious of any township vote
which has been withheld for several
days and, their suspicion is usually JUS
titled.
The Democratic County Central
Committee provided in it's resolutions
for the primary that the judges should
remain at the polls and count the bal
lots without adjournment or delay and
that Immediately after the count is
concluded, the results should be posted
in some conspicuous place about the
house in which the polls were located.
The Log Cabin Democrat sincerely
hopes that this resolution will be car
ried out to the letter.

THE NEW PARCEL POST RATES,

Faulkner county farmers, as well as
Faulkner county merchants, ought to
make profitable use of the parcel post,
new schedule Of rates and weights
for which becomes effective January l..
Under the new schedule the maximum
weight for parcels in the local (mean-
ing a postoffice or any rural route
leading therefrom), first and second
zones has been increased from 20 to
so pounds. The rate in the local zone
is five cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional two
pounds, and in the first zone, which
includes any postoffice within so miles,
the rate is five cents for the first
pound and one cent for each additional
pound.
Thus a farmer living on the Arkan-
sas river, Is miles from Conway, con-
nected with the postoffiee in this city
by rural route, might have 5O-pound
sack of flour brought by mail to his
home for % cents. If he needed a
pillow point weighing, say five pounds,
instead of coming to town for it, he
could have it mailed to him for nine
cents. A 10-pound bucket of lard
could be sent him from Conway mer-
chant at postage charge of 10 cents.
Instead of allowing the big Chicago
mail order concerns to increase their
trade in this territory through the
parcel post, Conway merchants now
have an opportunity to beat them at
their own game. There is so great a
difference in the parcel rates between
local or first zone points and a place
as far distant as Chicago, that the
same goods can be easily supplied
cheaper from the home merchant. But
the home merchant must develop this
field himself, by advertising his good:
and offering to forward them by par
eel post when desired.

IN hurriedly writing story OF
Wednesdays freight wreck in Conway,
which occurred a short time before the
Log Cabin Democrat of that day went
to press, reporter for this paper
stated that the cause of the wreck was
"a loose guard rail" without naming
his authority for this statement, VINO
were the engineer and head brakeman
for the wrecked train 1t has devei-
oped that the cause mentioned was
not responsible for the wreck, and that
the story as published might lead
those familiar with railroad termlnol-
opv to the belief that the accident was
due to the neglect of the section fore
man. whose duty it is to keep the
tracks where it occurred in perfect
condition. The Log Cabin Democrat
is clad to correct any such impression
as the article may have conveyed, and
TO state that Theodore TheSsing, the
foreman in whose section the wreck
occurred, has, during service of 81
years, faithfully performed his duties
and in all those years has never been
responsible for any railroad accident
occurring along his section of track.

STOCK-RAISING.

With the price of beef cattle mount
ing higher each year and with the
number of cattle constantly decreas-
ing in inverse proportion as the popu-
lation of the country is increasing, it
would seem that stock-raising will
soon become, if it is not so already,
the most profitable form of agricul-
ture.
A recent circular from the United
States Department of Agriculture de-
scribes the success of a Mississippi
farmer in raising pure-bred cattle.
The chief hindrance to cattle-growing
in the south has heretofore been the
prevalence of the cattle tick, which
not only prevents cattle from becom-
ing fat, but also spreads the disease
known as Texas fever. 1t is now
known, however, that this parasite
may be absolutely eradicated within
short time by the simple means of
transferring cattle from one pasture
to another at stated intervals.
| Faulkner county has thousands of
acres of land, which, while hardly fit
for cultivation, makes splendid range
for cattle. In many of the hill sec
tons an abundance of grass and water
may be found and cattle will require
but little feed Scores of large tracts
of wild land may be purchased at a
nominal price and on each will usually
be found a sufficient amount of tillable
land on which to raise enough feed tc
carry the cattle through the short win
ter.

the year.

To the Voters of Faulkner County:
At Wooster on the 26th day of De-
cember at the opening of the political
campaign for county officers, a resolu-
ton was offered to the effect, that, on
account of the condition of the roads
and weather, the canvass should be
called off and all appointments can
celled.
This resolution was submitted to a
vote of the candidates and every one
present, save one, voted in favor of
it, and in accordance Herewith, the
public campaign was then and there
closed. The three candidates for coun-
ty judge, not only favored the resolu-
ton, but pledged themselves to each
other by publicly shaking hands, that
they would faithfully comply with this
action. Acting on this, l returned
home, but on Saturday night, much to
my surprise, I received information
that all the candidates attended the
appointment at Greenbrier, and for
some cause unknown to me, and in my
absence, decided to again take up the
appointments, commencing at Guy
on Monday morning. Whether this
was a fair, proceeding, | leave it to
the voters to determine. The roads of
the county are almost impossible and
can only be appreciated by experience
While the good Lord has blessed me
up to the present time with a fair de-
gree of health, do not feel that
would be doing justice to myself, at

THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

The campaign for the Democratic
nomination for Faulkner county of
fees, which was formally opened at
Wooster today, while short, will doubt
less be one of the most strenuously
contested in the history of the county.
More candidates have offered for the
positions to be filled than ever before,
and each one of them has his friends.
The interest in the outcome is already
at high pitch and if the weather is
at all favorable on January 6, a rec
Iord-breaking vote is likely to be cast.
AS a Democratic newspaper, the
Log Cabin Democrat is not interested
in the success or defeat of any OF the
individual candidates. This paper can
eonscientiously support any candidate
for any of the offices to be voted upon,
should that candidate receive the NOM
ination.
The Log Cabin democrat is, hOwev-
er, greatly interested in seeing that
the primary election shall be an hon.
est one. We want every candidate to
have. every vote cast for him-no more
and no less. And if there are evil
dences of fraud in behalf of or against
any candidate, this paper does not
propose to keep silent. We expect to
make it our duty to publish the facts,
no matter who may be injured or ben
Gifted by 1t.
The time has come when the DEM
ocracy of Faulkner county must clear
itself of the faint of corruption which
has attached to some of its elections
in the past. Perhaps never before
was the sentiment of the rank and file
of the party so strongly favorable to
absolutely honest elections. But it is
our earnest hope, an dit is our belief,
that the forthcoming primary election
will be- conducted with scrupulous
fairness; that the votes will be hon
estly counted and quickly published in
every precinct, and that there will be
no ground for any charges of corrup-
ton from any source.

BAD STREETS WHERE

streets and roads in Conway and

culiar to this section. An examina-
ton of newspapers from all portions
of the state shows that the situation

peculiar to this winter. The same
difficulty of travelling over unimprov-
ed roads and streets is experienced
every time we have a long season of
wet weather And, in Conway, it is
not a condition due to the excavations
made in the streets for waterworks
and sewerage. These have rendered
matters worse, it is true, but some of
the worst streets in the city are those
in which no excavations have been
made.
The question before the people of
Conway is whether we shall continue
