GOVERNOR REFUSES
 CLEMENCY TO FOX

Little Rock, Jan. 6.-Gov. Hays has declined to take any action in the case of Jim Fox, who was convicted of assault to kill Little Rock man in Lonoke county last fall, and sentenced to year in the penitentiary. This was done after he had been tried and acquitted of the murder of man named Phillips, of Little Rock, on the same occasion as that when he fired upon Phillips companion as the latter was running away from the scene of the trouble.
 An application was made to the governor Monday by counsel for Fox for full pardon. The penitentiary commission, however, had granted Fox parole after he had served about one third of the sentence, without con- ferring with Gov. Hays. The gov ernor, therefore told counsel for Fox that he would not interfere in the case at this time.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Who are to be winners this year? It is much too early to make a prediction, but we are beginning to make guesses. And just to see if we are all gussing alike, we are giving you the benefit of our guess. The names appearing below are certainly of those who are clearly in the race, but none of these are at all sure. Some pupil not named may, during the sec ond half of the year, forge to the front and snatch the coveted badge of honor.
 The Faulkner County Bank offers a gold medal to the boy in the high school who stands highest in work, attendance, department, etc, in a word, to the boy who comes nearest the ideal student. The Bank of Con- way offers a similar medal to the high school girl who stands highest in ev- Ferything. The Farmers State Bank offers an elegant gold medal to the best arithmetic student in the first eight grades. D. o. Harton offers a medal to the best student of mathe- matics in the high school. There are more than a dozen other contests on, but we are reporting on these four only. Following are the lists of those who. during the first half of the year, sem to have the lead They are given without reference to rank.

EDISON'S TALKING PICTURES.

The largest audience ever seen in Conway attended the first appearance of Edison's talking pictures in this city which was presented at the Grand last night. Every seat in the house was sold for the first show, a large number of people being compelled to stand in the aisles or wait in the vesti- bule for the second show
 While the novelty of the talking pie lures was responsible for the attend ance of quite number, not word was heard from any one who attend ed which would indicate that he was not surprised. The simultaneous pho- tography and recording was almost perfect. The words can be plainly heard, the enunciation is excellent, and the pictures are equal to any ever seen here. All in all, the show is one of the best ever seen in this city.
 Tonight Edison's talking pictures will again be the attraction at the Grand, with change of program. Several extra plays will be presented by the management A full house is expected by the management.
 The program for tonight is as fol- lows: Lecture introductory; College Days; Jacks Jokes," comedy; "A Few Shamrocks from Ireland;" Era Diavolo," opera in two parts; Dutch Courage Dutch comedy; Mrs. Mur- phys Horseshoe" Irish comedy i; Caught in the Act,' comedy; "A Spanish Garden;" "Edison's Mins- trels" in two parts.
