INVESTIGATE PHOSPHATE
 BEDS IN VAN BUREN

Clinton, Feb. 10.-R. M. Brown, of Lebanon, Mo-, has been in this county several days Investigating the prob- able supply of phosphate to be ob- tained from beds discovered some months since. MT. Brown, who is minerologist and possessed of some means, was most favorably impressed with his investigation, and before his departure stated that if given some encouragement would install a mill at once for the preparation of the rock for market.
 At least he would put in a small mill cabaple of supplying needs of home demands and when shipping facilities could be obtained would push the development of these mines to their full capacity. People who have investigated say the phosphate resources of the county are almost unlimited and if those who have the means could be sufficiently impressed of it's magnitude the question of a railroad would not long remain un- solved.

emphasize is that even if ditch had never been cut in the streets for water or sewer mains and even if the coun- cil had spent every dollar available with the greatest possible wisdom, the streets would still have been inn passable. They are now impossible in many places where a ditch has never been cut. The amount of traf- fic has grown so much that they al ways will be impossible until they are built of permanent material
 Fifteen miles of good macadam, streets will relieve the situation. This will include about one-fourth of all the streets in the city, but if the proper selection is made this one1 fourth will carry 90 per cent of the traffic. With the greatly reduced use of the remaining streets which would naturally follow, they can be kept in reasonably good shape without being macadamized.
 Citizens of Conway, [ is up to you. Don't cuss the council, but organize your property into an improvement district, cooperate with the council and the county and build these 15 miles of macadam streets THIS YEAR.

STATE COMMITTEE CALLS AT TENTION TO DEMOCRATIC

It is possible that some of the poilt- ical candidates in this county and diS- trict may not get their names on the ballot.
 This information is contained Tn advices received here from the Dem ocratic State Central Committee.
 Candidates for congressman, rall- road commissioners, chancellor, GIT cult judge, prosecuting attorney and state senator have only until March 1, to file with the secretary of the State Central Committee, w. G. Hut ton. 427 Southern Trust Building Little Rock, the pledge required by the rules of the Democratic party ot Arkansas. Failure to sign and file the pledge required means that the name of the candidate cannot appear on the official ballot.
 The pledge is as follows: "As c candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for the office oi ............in in the primary cleo tion to be held March ?, 1914, l here by pledge myself to abide the result of the primary election and support the nominee thereof, and declare that I am not and will not become a can didate for any faction, independent or otherwise, either privately or pub licly suggested, other than the regu lar Democratic nominee.

ones shoes-these are the inspiring spectacles which have greeted the eyes of everyone in Conway within the past few days. We say inspir- ing, because they ought to inspire our citizens to do something to rem edy this condition.
 The proverbial colloquy reported by the Arkansas Traveller" is too true of us. An exceptionally dry Janu- ary resulted in the streets becoming passable for few days-they didn't need any improvement then. Now they are in their usual liquid condi- tion-and we cant do anything while they are in that shape.
 The editor of this paper drove one day recently from Conway to Green brier, returning by way of Wooster and passing through the Cadron bot toms at both the Terry and King bridges. The roads through these bottoms are fearfully bad, but the worst stretch of highway encountered on the trip was Conway's main busi- ness throughfare, Front street from North street to Hendrix College.
 We ought to be ashamed of sour streets. We are in fact disgraced by 4OOO a year available from the them.
 Shall we continue to squander the taxes we are now paying for street work and have worse streets every year? Or shall we adopt the wiser plan of paying this amount with a small additional sum each year into an improvement district and build at least 15 miles of permanent macadam streets?
 If we don't want any better streets let's elect a council pledged net to levy any city tax whatever. We would better keep the tax money in our pockets than to continue the senseless system of trying to build heavily travelled streets of mud.

HENDRIX BULLDOGS
 WILL MEET MUTES

The Hendrix College basketball ag gregation will play it's first game o4 the season on the Armory court to- morrow afternoon at four o'clock, when the Deaf Mute Institute of Lit tie Rock-the team which defeated the State Normal outfit Saturday by a 41-21 count-comes here for bout with the Bulldogs. This should prove to be one of the most interesting games ever played in this city, as both teams are among the best in the state. The Mutes have pair of for wards who work in unison, and can cage the sphere from almos any angle. The work of Captain Lux, their right forward, in Saturdays game, was nothing short of marvellous.
 Hendrix will present her strongest lineup. The record made by the Bull dogs thus far this season is an en- viable one, that delegation being de- feated but one time out of six.
 All lovers of the dribble and shoot sport who attend this battle are promised an hours amusement well worth while. An admission fee of .25~cantS.willA be charged.

IN JUSTICE TO THE COUNCIL

For the condition of Conway's s streets the city council is getting a considerable amount of criticism which 1t does not deserve. The streets are impossible from two causes. In the first place, the traffic over the prin- cipal thoroughfares has grown to such proportions that the earth high ways will not sustain it during the wet seasons, no matter how much money might be expended upon them or high wisely it might be expended. Imagins, if you can, Main street in Little Rock being left unpaved. A thousand dollars to the block might be spent every year in grading, drag ging and filling this street and yet it would be impossible.
 We are overlooking the fact that traffic over the streets is probably four times as great as 1t was l5 years ago, when the streets were Tn fairly good condition. The council might spend twice the amount of rev enue it has available and the princl- pally travelled streets would still be bad during the greater portion of the year. A 40-pound rail would have sustained the traffic over the Fort Smith rairoaG with the light equip ment it had 20 years ago. How long would it last under the big moguls that are now required to pull the trains? It is just so with streets. Up to certain limit properly con- structed earth highways will carry the traffic. Beyond that limit no amount of work or money will keep them passable. We have simply reached the point in Conway where the principal streets of Conway MUST be made of some permanent material like macadam, and every dollar that we continue to spend trying to make good streets of dirt is dollar wasted.
 Another local condition which has rendered the streets somewhat worse is the recent excavations for water and sewerage. This construction work has made it impracticable to un- dertake any street improvement for the past two years.
 But the point which we desire to

4 TALE OF TWO CITIES.

Judging from figuring recently printed in a report of the Morrilton city council proceedings in the Head light, that city is paying approximate ly S5,0OO a year for street lights and fire hydrant service. The claims pre- sented to the council were $1 1,6OO for six months fire hydrant service and S153 for one months street lights. If this amount had to be paid in Con- way it would take every dollar of the city's five mill tax and Conway has a considerable larger number of both fire hydrants and street lights in ser vice than Morrilton. Yet the muni- cipal light and water plant here is not only supplying this light and water service without cost to the city treas ury, but is making substantial profit besides.
