Whenever you find your attorney re ceiving fee from the opposing side and compromising the case for 60 per cent of your claim, you'd better get another lawyer"
 Judge Kirby very convincingly an swered the charges made against him by Senator Clarke. He said the sen- ator was enraged that anyone should have the temerity to oppose him. "He is about as amiable as blind rattle snake in August" said Judge Kirby. He hisses and strikes and hurls his venom at everybody and everything that happens to come in his way"
 Throughout his address Judge Kir- by was literally applauded and he was accorded the closest attention by his large audience. At the conclusion of his speech he left for Plumerville, where he spoke this morning, and he will continue his campaign at various points between Conway and Van Bu- ren, making a total of IT speeches during the week.

J. A. KING FOR MAYOR.

To the Citizens of Conway:
 1 am a candidate for mayor. I am a candidate because I want to serve the people of my native city as her highest executive officer. I certainly would hesitate to ask the people to thus honor me if did not feel that I am in some measure qualified to make you an efficient and faithful public servant. My long residence, my ser vice as city marshal, in which I had personal supervision of street and drainage improvements, and my inti- mate knowledge of the general needs of the city ought to be a valuable as- set to me in the administration of the affairs of the city government.
 If elected 1 shall go into the office with no axes to grind, no personal grievances to right, no friends to re- ward, no enemies to punish, and nO selfish interest to promote.
 In all questions of public improve ments I shall seek to do the greatest good to the greatest number. I shall not permit the selfish interests of a few men stand between the people and the growth of the city. It is just as important that selfish interests should be driven from control in our city government as it is that they should be driven from control in the state and national governments. More than that, am in favor of clean city morally as well as a clean city physically.
 If elected your mayor, shall rigid ly enforce your city ordinances, and shall do all in my power towards pre- venting and ridding the city of crim- inal and immoral influences. My rec ord along this line will admit compar- ison.
 If you elect me your mayor, I'll ap- preciate it, and I shall prove my ap- preciation by faithful performance of all duties incumbent upon me.
 (advt.) J. A. KING.

BURNED
 AT ARKADfLPh|A
HENDERSON IS DESTROYED
YOUNG LADY STUDENTS ES- CAPE IN NIGHT CLOTHES
 FROM BUILDING.

Henderson-Brow College at Arka- delphia, one of the most prominent Methodist colleges in the south, was totally destroyed Monday morning by fire which originated in the kitchen, on the first floor. The estimated loss is SS0,000, with insurance for S50,OOO. Although the fire broke out at an early hour, it was soon discovered by the nightwatchman, who immediately gave the alarm. The school fire-beli was sounded, awakening all the stu dents. The young lady students of the institution, although excited for the moment, coolly left the burning building, clad only in their night clothes. After all had gotten out of the building in safety, the students trunks and other belongings were talk en out. It is said that aside from the building itself, nothing was destroy ed, even all the books in the library being saved
 It is said that the Philadelphia High School building will be used by the college until the building can be rebuilt, plans for which are already being discussed.
 The fire was spectacular almost from it's start Just after the stu dents and most of their trunks had been gotten out of the main building there was a crash and column of flame shot high into the air with a roar which could be heard for miles.
 The fire department had been ealJ7d out, but it arrived too late to be of effective service on account of the dis tance from the city, Before 1t arr1v- ed the men students formed salvage lines and rushed trunk after trunk along the walk leading from the street to the main entrance of the campus.
 And as they labored great bursts of violet, blue and green-tinged flame en- veloped the lofty tower of the front of the building and suddenly 1t sway 1 ed, toppled over and fell with ter rife crash.
 The brick walls seemed to act as . furnace chimney, and after the tower fell the flames rose higher and all was despaired of.
 After the fire had died down it was found that the entire library, consist ing of thousands of volumes, the tro, phies of athletic fields, silver cups won on debates and more than dozen pianos had been saved.

'NORWOOD FIRST
 URGED REDUCTION ON EXPRESS CO.'S. RATES
LOWERED AS RESULT OF PE- TETON FILED BY FORMER
 ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-While he does not claim credit, great part of the responsibilities for the reduction of interstate express rates rests with former Attorney General Hal L. Norwood, now practicing law in Little Rock. Attorney Norwood started the action which, with the aid of the par eel post, resulted in the reduction of rates
 After working six months getting up his data, Attorney General Nor wood, on July 13, 1911, filed before the Interstate Commerce Commission petition asking for reduction of rates on small parcels handled beA tween Arkansas and other state points. He alleged that there was discrimination against the smaller packages, in favor of the large ones, and submitted table which required months of preparation to sustain his contention This action was brought against every express company which has an office in the state, or which forwarded shipments into the state
 In the final decree the Interstate Commerce Commission followed the reasoning of former Attorney Gen eral Norwood It reduced materially the rates on small packages, while the decrease was either small on the large packages, or none was made at all There are some instances where an increase is shown on large packages between Little Rock and St. Louis, and Little Rock and Memphis.
 After Attorney General Norwood had filed his petition, similar petitions were filed by other states, all present ing the same question. The new rates from Little Rock to St Louis show a reduction on small packages from 40 to 50 per cent. A five pound package formerly required the payment of 55 cents, now 30 cents will send the par eel A six pound package cost 50 cents, while now it is 32. A ten pound package may be sent for 40 cents now, where it formerly cost 70 cents.
 This is another instance of where Arkansas led the procession in secur- ing concessions for the public.

TO THE VOTERS OF CONWAY.

As most of you know I am a candi- date for city marshal of Conway and I desire to make known my platform, or what are the duties of the marshal of Conway.
 I think the city marshal of Conway should be at work on the streets all the time, except when he has some special work and he does not have to stand around on the street corners waiting for it. If I was marshal at this time 1 could be cleaning street crossings, opening small ditches so the water could run off, cutting small trenches so that water could get away, and a great many of the num- erous mud-holes in our streets could dry up. There are dozens of small jobs that the marshal should do and could do without the help of negro hand. All he has to do is to shoulder his spade and go to work, and I will do this if I am elected marshal.
 On last Sunday, w T. Wilson's house caught fire The hose house for that ward is on MT Wilson's lot, not over 100 feet from the house that caught fire The fire company got the hose all right, but the house that came very near burning because there were no hose wrenches on the hose cart. I consider it the marshaPs duty to have all these things ready for a fire, as the fire boys get no pay, and if I am elected marshal I guarantee ev-

violations of the antitrust laws.
 Turning his attention to his oppon- ent, Judge Kirby declared that Sena- tor Clarke had received more from the people and done less for them than any man to whom high office had ever been accorded. He charged that the senator had received fee of $30,000 for compromising the railroad tax cases at loss of 40 per cent to the state; that he used over $10,000 of the salary of a clerk of senate commit tee which never met, to pay the man. ager of his street railway system; {; that he paid out of the government treasury over $5,000 to his boy who was attending school; that he even withdrew from the treasury all but $3 or S4 each year of the $125 station cry allowance; that he never answer ed his constituents letters and had declared he was going to write even less in the future.
 Judge Kirby declared that Senator Clarke was cold, arrogant and aristo- cratic and cared for nothing except to accumulate wealth for himself. "He worships no god but money" the speaker said.
 The few days work of the senator, for which he received $30, ,000 from the railroads and the state lost over S250,000 in taxes, was strikingly com pared with Judge Kirby's two years labor in the railroad rate cases, which came to successful end in the United States supreme court and resulted in lower freight rates and the two-cent fare. q received $5,000 for two years work and the state won it's case," he said Senator Clarke re- ceived $3O,OO0 for filing answers in six cases and compromising with the railroads at a loss of 40 per cent.

Some claim that we can run a slx~months school on five-mill tax, and hire two teachers. Don't you know we can do any such of a thing? Stop and hg- ure a little and see what tlVe-miii tax will bring into our district; also what it costs to hire two teachers at $40 or $50 per month for each one.
 Now, we only had three-monChS school last year and that is all we can have this year. We have just as good talent in this district as there are III any other district, but so far as lm- proving their talent is concerned, they are going to have mighty little chance to improve it, unless the patrons ot the district get better move on themselves than they have had. Prof. Therlow and Miss Ida Herring have taught us a good school this winter but I am sorry to say they have had a mighty few visitors.
 Hoping we will wake up and try to do better from this on, and vote sev- en-mill tax.
