DOGS V.S. DEMONSTRA TION.

The Faulkner county quorum court on Wednesday swapped off the county's farm demonstration, canning club agent and road commissioner for couple of hound dogs. Six hundred and seventy dollars were unanimously appropriated for the dogs, but an appropriation of $1,000 for farm demonstration was over whelmingly defeated This is rec ord of which we do not believe the justices composing the court will in future years have cause to feel proud.
 The Log Cabin Democrat has no objection to the dog appropriation, although during rather careful reading of many newspapers for 15 or 20 years we have never yet seen an instance of dogs effecting the cap ture of fugitive criminal. But it was right that the amount expended by Sheriff Johnson in securing dogs for the chase of Lee Blount should be refunded to him, and the purchase of two bloodhounds will probably ex- ercise a deterrent influence against crime in the county and will be worth all they cost.
 But the fact that the dog appro- priation was made shows that it was not an effort at economy which caused the farm demonstration to be voted down The only reason we heard suggested was that it didn't do any good. Yet no farmers who have been cultivating their crops ac- cording to government demonstration methods were heard to make this statement, and the records of the tsate agent show that in Arkansas the dem onstration work has paid an average of eleven times it's cost. or LIDO per cent. We doubt if the dogs will prove to be so good an investment.
 Of course, if the farmers believe that the demonstration plan is failure, it ought not to be forced upon them. But we believe that if the farmers who have undertaken the demonstration work and have hon. estly and faithfully followed its prin- ciples were allowed . vote on the appropriation, there would not have been dissenting voice.

THE COUNTY DEBT.

ment of that amount of warrants by the reissuance last May. The balance, $5,882.89, represents the amount which the county treasury received over and above the expenditures dur ing the year.
 To County Judge Holt's careful administration is largely due the credit, both for the amount saved by the re-issuance of scrip and the lim- itation of expenditures to nearly $6,0O0 less than the revenue. A few more years of this policy will put the county where it belongs, on cash basis

THE HOLLINGSHEAD CASE.

Nearly everybody in Faulkner county was astounded by the report that Gertrude Hollingshead, the white girl whose testimony, sentenced eight Conway negroes to long terms in. the penitentiary, had retracted her state ments and had told, the: trial judge that she was guilty of perjury when she gave her evidence against these negroes. = tf " ~s
 If the girl has done this, we can see no reason why her statements should be given more credence now than when she testified. Those who had intimate knowledge of the revolt ing case know that there was con siderable circumstantiai evidence to corroberate the unfortunate girls testimony. It is also known that the state had additional. proof which could have been brought as to the guilt of the defendants. but which was not regarded as eecessary.
 Of course, the only way in which these negroes can, now be released is by pardons. But the Log Cabin Democrat sincerely hopes that Gov ernor Hays will not grant these par dons until he has made a thorough investigation of the case and has con- vinced himself beyond doubt of the innocence of these negroes

IN MEMORIAM.

The subject of this memoir, Mrs, Theresa Alkaline Mayhew, (nee) Can fleld) of Greenbrier, Ark, was born in Floyd county, Georgia, February 23, 1869, and died October 9, 1914, aged 45 years, seven months and 16 days. Sister Mayhew had been a con- stant sufferer with cancer for more than year, having had three opera tons in the last 12 months. She fac ed these operations in the most hope ful attitude, neverthless she was re- signed to Gods will through all her suffering. Just before the end came she called all her family to her bed side and gave them her final farewell message, beginning with her husband and winding up with her nine-year- old baby, Mildred. In her message to her grown son, she said: Earl, you are not saved. I want you to get ready to meet me in glory"
 Sister Mayhew professed religion about seven or eight years ago un- der the ministry of Irwin F. Harris and joined the Methodist church with her husband in September, 1913, and was baptised by the writer, but long before she united with the church she was devoted member of the adult Bible class in the Methodist Sunday school at Greenbrier.
 She was married to Hugh Mayhew about 26 years ago and seven children had been born to them, of whom four survive. Besides her husband and children, she leaves two sisters, Mrs. D. Y. Burkett of Greenbrier, and Mrs. T. R. Douglass of Conway and three brothers, James D. Garfield of Bige low, Ark, John E. Garfield of Center Hill, Ark, and Richard w. Garfield of Corning, Ark. Sister Mayhew was an active member of the School I'm provement Association, also of the Woodmen Circle and the Womans Home Mission Society.
 To the family, relatives and friends l will say: Jesus says: "I am the resurrection and the life; he that be- lieveth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die"
 The funeral services were conduct ed by the writer and the Woodmen Circle on the afternoon of October 10, in the presence of a great host of friends and relatives, and we laid her remains to rest in the Spring Hill cemetery until God shall call our bod ies from the sleeping dust.

WAS WOMAN OF GREAT CHARM
Empress Josephine One of the Most
Remarkable Personages of His
torica Record.

While the Empress Josephine had
one million francs year for her pri-
vate purse, 1t is a well-known fact
that she was always In debt, and
while this led to stormy scenes with
Napoleon, and beyond doubt she had
an extravagant wardrobe, it must not
be supposed that she spent this sum
entirely upon herself. as 1t is esti-
mated that she supported more than
two thousand poor people in addition
to helping many needy aristocrats
who had suffered under the revolu-
ton.
1t is said that she owned several
hundred hats and bonnets which were
peculiarly becoming to her, and paid
her hairdresser six thousand francs a
year. OF course, the preservation OF
her wonderful charm caused the
spending of many hours day in her
boudoir, from which all but a few
favorite waiting women were ex-
cluded. SO successful was she. in ad-
dition to her own wonderful personal
ity, that at the age of forty, and a
grandmother, when arrayed in a sim
pie white mousseline and a string Of
pearls, her husband exclaimed at her
loveliness and said he would be jea
