FOLLOW HIGHWAY ENGINEERS ADVICE DONAGhEY'S SUGGESTION SAYS STREET IMPROVEMENT SHOULD BE UNDER EXPERT
 SUPERVISION.

Don't spend any money putting a rock unsuitable for road purposes on the streets, and don't spend any money at all until you have secured the ad Vlce of competent engineer said former Governor Geo. W. Donaghey. who was in the city on business yes terday afternoon, referring to the pro- posed plan of building macadamized streets in Conway.
 Mir Donaghey expressed himself as being highly in favor of building per manent streets. He has large prop erty interests here and still considers Conway his home, although for busi- ness convenience has been continuine to reside in Little Rock since his last term as governor expired
 ''l am afraid the sandstone in the hills north of Conway will not make a satisfactory macadam," he said. Sandstone will rapidly disintegrate when exposed to wear and does not bind together as does limestone. The best material for this purpose is called trap rock, and I doubt whether any of 1t can be found in the immediate vicin- ity of Conway
 But whatever is done, no money ought to be spent until you get the best expert knowledge possible, not only as to the quality of the stone, but as the depth it should be laid, the grades, drainage, etc, all of which are highly important in road building"

Washington, August 27.-France today expressed to the United States dsap- proval of certain phases of the admins trations plan to build up merchant marine through the purcaase of foreign ships.
 Jules Jusserand, the French ambassa- dor, had a long talk with President Will son and indicated, it is understood that the French government would view wita displeasure the purchase by the United States of any German-owned ships.
 The discussion is not terminated, it being the intention of the French gov ernment further to press it's objections. The viewpoint of France IS that vast sums of money would be made available for the use of the Germans through the sale Of ships, which now are marooned in neutral ports.
 The French contend, moreover, that as the allies have swept German commerce eff the seas, the American government would be giving resources for food sup ply to Germany, which she otherwise would not get and which assistance thas the United States as a neutral is not obliged to render.
 President Wilson has argued that the proposed government ships would not carry contraband of war. but things dis tinctly permitted to neutrals as articles of commerce.
 If the establishment of a governmen. shipping line, however, enabled Germany tc feed not only her people, but her troops in the field, France holds such an operation would be in violation. of neu- tralty
 Aside from the question of contraband however, the French government thinks the sale of the marooned German yes sels to the United States would be tanta-

COTTON CONFERENCE IN NEW ORLEANS IS
 LARGELY ATTENDED
Greater Part of Day Is De- voted to Discussing Prop CT Loan Value to Be
 Placed on Staple

New Orleans, August 27.-The south ern cotton conference held under the au- spices of the Southern Cotton association and attended by about 200 planters, mer- chants and bankers from the growing states, today devoted the great part of it's time to discussing what would be the proper loan value to be placed upon cot ton, which doubtless will be placed in warehouses because of the European war the question will be further threshed out at the final session tomorrow.
 The discussion on valuation was based on the official decision of the conference, that in the opinion of the delegates pres ent, it would cost 12 cents a pound to pro- duce a pound of cotton this year. It was stated that the question of cost of pro- duction raised heated argument in the meeting of the resolutions committee and when the resolution was presented to the conference it was freely discussed.
 It was contended by some speakers that the basis should be made la cent higher, but no one spoke in favor of a lower basis
 It was generally accepted that the gov ernment would provide funds for iinanc- ing the 1914 crop as evineed in the recent cotton conference in Washington. That conference, however, it was stated by delegates who met with Secretary Mo. Adoo, left undecided the question as tt what the loan value of each bale should be- This, speakers today said, was z vital point.
 Curtailing of the 1915 crop came In fol great deal of discussion, but no actiol was taken. It seemed to be the genera opinion of the speakers that a decided curtailment next year would be ncces sary to uphold the price of the invisible supply of the 1913 crop and what will b, left oyer from this years crop. The conference also decided that eacl state commissioner of agriculture shoul' be asked to obtain data showing tn warehouse facilities of his state and tn condition of food and feedstuffs relat ing to any crop holding movement tn conference might decide upon. a
