JUDGE KIRBY MAKES
STRENUOUS CAMPA Align
EXPECTS TO VISIT EVERY
COUNTY IN STATE BEFORE
PRIMARY.

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-Sweeping
through the counties of northeast Ar
kansas and making from two to four
speeches a day, Associate Justice w.
F. Kirby is making a campaign that is
"a revelation in strenuous political en-
deavor. Will Kirby always did have
the ability to be a good mixer, but he
is surprising even his friends in his
ability to get to more places and meet
more people and win over more voters
than could be accomplished by the or
binary seeker after political prefer
ment. His campaign in that section
of the state will conclude at England,
Lonoke county, next Saturday He
will then announce another series of
addresses, and expects to cover prac-
tically every section of the state be-
tween now and the primary.
Wherever he goes, Judge Kirby is
being received with enthusiasm by the
many who are convinced that
change should be made in the states
senatorial representation.
Judge Kirby is calling attention to
the desperate effort being made by
Senator Clarke to regain his standing
with the farmers of the state by send
ing them garden seed Senator
Clarke has been in Washington II
years." says Judge Kirby, "and never
before found any farmers in the state.
Now he has discovered that there are
farmers in Arkansas, and he is trying
to win them by franking out whole
carload of seed, by the wagon-load at
time. He will have to find some
other means than that, however, to
make up for II years of absolute neg
lect.'

CIRCUIT COURTS
COST NEAR $4,000

siderably higher than he anticipated

today certifying to the county court
for allowance the various items of ex-
pense of the term, and states that the
total cost will be in the neighbornOod

of the petit jurors fees, which
amount to $528.10. The grand jurors
fees were $3O350 and the witnesses
before the grand jury were allowed
$126. The sheriff's fees for the term
were $158, in addition to the fees tax
ed in as costs in the various cases
The most expensive single case Was

DEP ARTMENT SAYS
NOTHING DEFINITE
AB0UTP. 0. BUILDING site
NEARLY A YEAR SINCE BIDS
WENT IN, DATE OF INSPEC-
TION STILL UNCERTAIN.

Although it has been nearly a year
since the United States treasury de
partment advertised for bids for site
for federal building to be erected al
Conway, no inspection of the sites
offered has yet been made and the de-
partment is unable to state anything
definite as to when a site will be ac-
quired
Under date of March Ia, 1913, there
wass published in the Log Cabin Dem
ocrat of March 20 an advertisement
from the treasury department stat
ing that bids would be received by the
department at Washington up to 10
O'Clock a. m. April 10, 1913, for the
'sale or donation to the United States
of corner lot centrally and convent
emily located and suitable for fed
eral building site in Conway, Arkan-
sas. The site must be approximately
$1,000 square feet in area and if the
lot offered is rectangular it's minimum
dimensions must be not less than 115
feet
Four or five local property owners
submitted bids to the department
within the time specified, but ever
since that time there has been a pro-
found silence regarding the accept
ance or rejection Of the bids In
answer to a letter of inquiry the de-
partment wrote the Log Cabin Demo-
crat as follows:
Treasury Department, Washington,
January Is, 1914.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat, Con-
way, Ark.
"Sir-This department is in receipt
of your letter of the 18th instant, in
which you request information as to
the acquisition of the federal build
ing site to be acquired in your city.
There are 300 sites to be inspected
and it will take considerable time to
cover the entire field. While there is
no site agent in your territory at
present, the department is doing
everything in it's power to arrange
for the inspection of the sites auth
orized to be acquired in your state
within a reasonable time.

ASHER MAY Defer
ARCfNTA DECISION

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-The greater
part of the day Monday was spent by
County Judge Joe Asher in hearing
arguments and testimony for and
against the removal of names from
the petition for the granting of sa-
loon licenses for Argenta. 1t will be
several days before decision is
reached, and it is believed in some
quarters that Judge Asher will defer
the decision on the Argenta petition
until he passes on the Little Rock pc
tition, which could not be taken up be-
fore January 27.
Up to the present time there have
been only four arrests in Little Rock
this month for drunkenness, against
total of 181 for the month of Deem
Der, 1913 There have been only about
one-half the number of police cases,
and the city calaboose is practically
deserted.

JANUARY CIRCUIT
court ADJ0URNS
SESSION A SHORT ONE
BELIEVED TO BE LEAST EX-
PENSIVE TERN EVER HELD
IN COUNTY.
From Saturdays Daily.

What is believed to be one of the
shortest and least expensive terms of
circuit court held since the formation
of Faulkner county, came to a close
early this morning, when Judge Eu-
gene Landlord declared the session
adjourned. The jury was discharged
yesterday afternoon and only a little
routine business was transacted to-
day, the real work of the term being
concluded within five days.
The court decided adversely to the
city of Conway in the suit brought by
the Eureka Fire Hose Manufacturing
Co., giving the plaintiffs judgment
for 81, TIA with interest at per cent
from August 10, 1911. The payment
of the interest was the only contest
ed feature of the suit, the city claim
-! ing the account not to be due until the
acceptance of the waterworks system,
while the plaintiffs claimed interest
from the date of sale, two years pre-
viously. The interest and court costs
taxed against the city amount to
about $3.50. City Attorney r. q.
Bruce asked an appeal to the supreme
court which was granted and 60 days
allowed in which to file bill of ex-
ceptions.
The court yesterday afternoon APP
pointed Gus Bush, ]. R. Donnell and
w. NJ. Harrell, all of Conway, as COM
missioners to select the grand and
petit iuries for the July term of cir
cult court.
A. Hendrickson of Mt. Vernon, Gus
Bush and George A. Freeman of Con-
way were appointed by the court as
commissioners of county accounts to
audit the books of the county.
