SQUARE 10 BE S|1t
 OF p. Q. BUILDING? THAT IS CURRENT RUMOR
UNCONFIRMED REPORT SAYS IT WILL BE LOCATED AD-
 JACENT TO NEW DEPOT.

. That portion of the public square and railroad right of way just north of the new passenger station will be selected as the site TOT the proposed new postoffice building at Conway is rumor current on the streets to- day. It is impossible, however, to con- firm the report and nothing definite or official has been given cut. One gentleman who did not desire his Lame to be used, stated it as his belief that the report is authentic and that the government has already selected the grounds mentioned as a site for the building, and that the railroad company has tendered the use of thi, ground
 The United States treasury depart ment advertised just year ago for bids for a site for a postoffice build ing here and several parcels of ground were offered. It was not known at that time that any portion of the square or right of way could be considered. There is some ques- tion as to the ownership of the big 400x1000 feet square through which the Iron Mountain railroad runs and in the center of which the new depot has been built, and this has been the subject of controversy between the railroad and the city. That part of this land belongs to the public and the other part to the railroad is con- ceded, but it has never been deter mined where the line of one begins and the other leaves off.

CLINTON OUT OF
 SfCRfTARY'S RACE PRAISES BOTH OPPONENTS
CONTEST NARROWED TO EARLE w. HODGES AND T. H.
 DOWNING.

Little Rock, March 5.-The race for secretary of state has been reduced to two candidates by the withdrawal of F. E. Clinton, mayor of Dardanelle, who had entered the contest early in the campaign. Earle w. Hodges, the present secretary, is opposed now by T. H. Downing of Harrison. MT. Clinton's withdrawal is as follows:
 q have this day withdrawn from the race for secretary of state, and have requested the State Democratic Central Committee to leave my name off the ticket which is to be certified out today.
 'In announcing my withdrawal from this race l desire to thank my many friends for their loyal support, and to assure them that I appreciate and will never forget their many kind nesses and valued assistance in the campaign thus far. l have, however, other interests and opportunities that were not seen when I announced my candidacy for the office of secretary of state, and those interests and oppor- tunities require my immediate and constant attention from now on.
 "In taking this step permit me to say that have been deeply impressed by the fairness of my opponents in this campaign and am quitting the race friendly to both of them. I am withdrawing in favor of no candidate, but purely from personal reasons as above indicated. am sure the state will have good secretary of state, if the people will elect, as they will, the man selected at the primaries on March 25."

BASEBALL PRACTICE IS
 STARTED AT HENDRIX
WITH 40 CANDIDATES PROS- PECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR A
 WINNING TEAM.

Forty candidates for positions on the Hendrix College baseball team have reported to Athletic Director w.. M. Headrick, and regular practice work has commenced. Among the number are seven of last years regu- lars, as follows: Young, Cook, Giles, Shinn, Lambright, Johnson and Owen. The other aspirants are high school men who have had more or less ex- perience on the diamond and sand lots.
 The question of pitchers is the one which is worrying the coaches most Owen, the star southpaw of last years Bulldogs, is the only veteran who has reported. This youngster is in as good form now as he was when the season closed last year, and will be depended upon to win most of Hen drixs games this season. He has speed galore, and sgough curves with which to win almost any game he
 
 pitches. There are three recruits who have announced that they would like to play the mound position on the Hendrix nine, as follows: Reed of Lonoke, McChristian of Prairiegrove and Norman of Plainview, all of whom played on high school teams.
 There are several candidates for each of the infeld positions and a whole army for, the outfeld positions.
 Prospects are good for one of the best teams Hendrix has ever pro- duced. The schedule has not yet been completed, but it will include games with the Normal, Henderson Brown of Philadelphia, Arkansas of Batesville, Jonesboro "Aggies", Russellville "Ag- gies", University of Arkansas, several high school teams and probably sev- eral games will be played out of the state.

James R. Piercey, who ran second Tn the contest for city marshal on la Tuesday and who was entitled under the rules of the City Democratic Gen. tral Committee to contest at a run-off on March l6 for the nomination with the leading candidate, w. H. Canada. simplified the matter today by an- nouncing his withdrawal. eliminatinp the necessity for second primary and leaving the nomination in the hands of MT. Canada. All of the remaining candidates received majorities at the first primary. MT. Piercey, in an- nouncing his withdrawal stated that he wished to harmonize the interests of the city, although he felt that he would have had good chance to win out in the second primary. His card follows:
 To the Voters of the City of Conway:
 l received splendid vote in Tues days primary and feel that by in- slstlng upon second election, in ac- cordance with the rules laid down by the City Democratic Central Commit tee, l might yet win the nomination. But out of a sincere desire to harmon ize every interest toward the better ment of Conway, and realizing that my opponent, Mir. Canada, was the choice of greater number of voters than was myself, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy and to re- quest that the committee declare MT. Canada the nominee for city marshal without the necessity of holding sec ond election. l desire to congratulate him and also to congratulate the city. for l believe he will make an honora ble and efficient officer. I also wish to express my sincere thanks to the many friends who so Loyalty support ed me, and to say to them that their efforts in my behalf shall not be for gotten. Respectfully,

WEIGHT OF A BODY.
Nov II Decreases as u Goes Above or
Below the Earth's Surface.

boloW NVo GaFNUe oa'teeNs
Everybody weighs more at the sur
face OF the earth than II can at any
other point. Its weight diminishes as
II Is removed above the surface or be-
low t. As Il rises from the surface
It's weight decreases In inverse ratio TO
tho squares OF the distances from the
center OF the earth, As II descends
below the surface its weight decreases
directly M the distance from the CEN
ter of the earth.
Thus n body weighing 100 pounds at
the surface Of the earth. which is ap'
proxlmatcly 1000 miles from the cen
ter would weigh only twenty-five
pounds at It point 1000 miles high. At
twice the distance lt has one quarter
the weight
IL we drop the sume body half the
distance To the center OF the earth or
TO point approximately 1000 miles
below the surface II will weigh hfty
pounds.
The reason for this IL that at 1000
miles from the center the body IL ON
the surface of sphere OF 1000 miles
radius
What causes weight Ia the mass OF
matter combined with distance from
the center A globe OF 1000 miles
radius contains one eighth as much
matter as globe OF 1900 miles ra'
dlus. the size OF the earth; therefore
only one-eighth MS much matter at
tracts the body. which. II mass were
the only factor, would at 1000 miles
from the center weigh one-eighth as
much MS at the surface OF the earth.
But II Is also only half MS far from
the center us 1t was at the surface and.
lf distance were the only factor, would
weigh four times as much IN on the
surface Four times one-eighth IL one
half: therefore II weighs half what II
would at the surface.
Now. suppose we drop this body to
the very center OF the earth and sec
what 1t would weigh. All the matter
OF the earth Is now outside Il and can
exercise no attraction whatever upon
1t; therefore It weighs nothing at ALL
New York World.
