ton being adopted without roll call and without dissenting vote.
 V. G. Craig was unanimously elect ed treasurer of the committee, that office not having been filled when the committee organized after the last state primary.
 A motion then prevailed that the committee adjourn subject to call of the chairman, and a general hand shaking followed the happy ending of what was expected to be long drawn out fight.
 The resolutions adopted provide that none except known Democrats, who are also eligible to vote in the following November election, will be permitted to vote in the primary. The committee is called to meet, in ac- Icordance with the state rules, on Monday, April 3, to canvass the re- suit of the election. Delegates to the convention, which will also be held on April 3, are to be elected at mass meetings at each precinct at o'clock on the day of the primary.
 For the purpose of defraying eX- penses of the election assessments are levied against the various county can didates as follows: County clerk, cir cult clerk and sheriff, $20 each; rep resentative and county judge, S10 each; treasurer and assessor, $15 each; surveyor and coroner, S5 each; ; all township officers, $1 each; cand- dates for membership on the central committee, -$1 each. These assess ments are required to be paid to the committee treasurer not later than December 1, 1915.

DR. WH|T|NCT0N 10 RESIGN PAST0RATf
WILL BE AN EVANGELIST
CONWAY BAPTIST PASTOR TO WORK FOR TEXAS THEOLOG-
 ICAL SEMINARY.
From Saturdays Daily

Unless he changes his intentions between now and Sunday morning, Rev. Dr. Otto Wilmington will at the morning service tomorrow announce to his congregation his resignation as pastor of the First Baptist church ot Conway, a position which he has held for the past three years. The resig- nation will come as a distinct sur prise to nearly everyone in the city and will be received with general re- gret.
 While he was not yet ready to make a positive statement to that eff feet, pr. Wilmington said to the Log Cabin Democrat that he had practi- cally decided to accept a position as travelling evangelist, rendered him by the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary of Fort Worth, Texas. The position, he says, besides being more lucrative one, will offer him a much larger field of usefulness and he believes he will be able to accom- plish greater things in his chosen WOTk. UT. w NHltlllSlOi oeiS ilo IN" position will necessitate his removal from Conway, but that he will prob ably have his headquarters in Little Rock, the trustees of the seminary having granted him the privilege of locating at any place he desired.
 The trustees desired him to begin work at once, but Dr. Wilmington stated that he would not leave his present work until after the meeting of the state Baptist Convention here on November IS.
 Dr. Wilmington came to Conway from the Ohio Street Baptist church of Pine Bluff about three years ago. During his stay here the membership and strength of the First church has been greatly increased and his mem bers will be loath to give him up. He is a graduate of the Southern Baptist University of Louisville, Ky, having a masters degree from that institu- tion. and last June the honorary title of doctor of divinity was conferred upon him by Ouachita College of Ar kadelphia,

SEEK A SUCCESSOR 10 OR. WHITINCT0N PULPIT MAY BE VACANT BAPTIST PASTOR TENDERS RESIGNATION, EFFECTIVE
 IN NOVEMBER.
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily
 Although they have no one in view as a successor to Rev. Otto Whiting ton, who rendered his resignation as pastor of the First Baptist church of Conway yesterday, Iay S3ficials of the church stated today that they are al- ready casting about and making in quiries preliminary to extending a call, and that a pastor would be se- cured as early as possible. Dr. Whit ingtons resignation will become eff 1ective with the adjournment of the Arkansas State Baptist convention, which convenes here November IS, and it was thought possible today that the pulpit might remain vacant for while at least, in order to give the church ample time to consider the matter of extending a call to a new minister.
 The announcement of Dr. Whiting ton s resignation in the Log Cabin Democrat Saturday came as a great surprise to many of his members and was received with general regret, both by his flock and the citizens of Con- way. In making formal presentation of the resignation to the congregation Sunday morning, Dr. Wilmington stat ed that he had decided to accept po- sition as travelling evangelist for the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary of Fort Worth, Tex. which offered him a much wider field of use fitness.
 The congregation took no actior upon the resignation, a motion being adopted to postpone it's consideration until next Wednesday evening at the weekly prayer service.

COUNTY PRIMARY TO bE HELD
 WITH STATE, ON MARCH g

Wilson,. J. Fortson, by J. A. King, proxy.
 After the committee had been call ed to order by Chairman A. L. Nich- ols and roll call a committee compos- ed of D. o. Harton, A. H. Surratt and M. E. Cornell was appointed to examine the proxies, and the commit tee reported that all were regular, the report being adopted and the proxies seated
 c. M. Hancock immediately began interrogating Chairman Nichols as to why he had issued call for the meet ing of the committee, when the rules of the state convention provided that such a call should not be issued until after the State Democratic Central Committee had been called together. This brought up a lengthy wrangle, during which numerous sections of the state rules were quoted on each side.
 Mir. Hancock made a motion to ad- journ, but a substitute by Mr. Clark that the committee proceed to fix the time for the county primary was car ried without roll cali.
 w. K. McHenry moved that the county primary be held on August 30, 1916. Mr. Clark raised the point of order that section 50 of the state rules provided distinctly that if a different date from the satte primary was fixed 1t must be not later than the fourth Wednesday in March. Secretary J. R. Donnell, J. A. King and MT. Han cock argued that the county commit tee was not bound to observe all the rules of the state convention, and that if the one regarding the chair mans call was violated, it was un- necessary to be governed by the oth- CTS. After considerable argument, Chairman Nichols sustained MT. Clark point of order, and on motion of Secretary Donnell an appeal was taken from his decision. MT. Clark moved to lay the motion on the table, and this brought up the test vote be- tween the ''early" and late forces. l A roll call was demanded.
 Here section 25 of the state rules, providing that proxies should have no vote was cited and the chairman held that it should be observed. This rul- ing was not contested, and the roll call proceeded. The vote was an- nounced by Secretary Donnell as be- ing 9 to 8, in favor of laying the mo- tion on the table.
 It was at this point that Clark sprung his surprise by offering and reading a resolution providing that the county primary should be held on the same date with the state primary the last Wednesday in March, 1915, and setting forth the usual rules gov erning the placing of names on the ticket, canvassing the vote, etc.
 On both sides the committeeman were almost taken off their feet by the proposition, as it was thought certain that either the regular January date or one in the late summer would be adopted. Donnell moved its adoption and seconds to the resolution came rapidly from both sides, the resolu-

SETzLER IS GIVEN
 YEAR AND A DAY
GOES 10 ATLANTA PRISON
FORMER ASSISTANT POSTMAS- TER PLEADS GUILTY TO
 RIFLING MAILS,
From Thursdays Daily

From Thursdays Daily
 Joseph A. Setzler, former assistant postmaster of Conway, was sentenced yesterday to serve one year and one day in the federal penitentiary at At lanta, Ga, on a charge of taking money from letters in the United States mail, while handling the mail at Conway.
 Sentence was pronounced upon the defendant by Judge Jacob Trieber in the federal court at Little Rock at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Setzler entered plea of guilty to the indictment, which had just been re- turned by the federal grand jury. Judge Trieber questioned him as to the crime with which he was charged. He confessed that he had been guilty of taking money from the mails at least since 1911 and said he could not remember how much he had taken or how long he had been guilty of the practice.
 In reviewing the case, Judge Trie- Der said that on account of strong representations from citizens of Con- way as to Settlers previous good character and on account of his fam fly, he was disposed to be as lenient as the law would permit and would assess only the minimum sentence. Before the sentence was pronounced Settlers counsel, Judge Sam Frauen- thai, requested that the defendant be permitted to return to Conway to ar- range his affairs. Judge Trieber con- sented to withhold the sentence for one week, but few minutes later the request of the defendant was with drawn and he asked that sentence be pronounced at once and his time be- gin immediately.
 l Settler was for nearly 10 years a trusted employe of the postoffice here and had won promotions from mi nor clerkship to assistant postmaster, also serving as acting postmaster dur , ing the interim between the death of 1 Postmaster o. J. Owen and the ap- pointment of Postmaster H. B. In- gram. The news of his arrest by postoffice inspectors last spring and his subsequent confession caused a profound shock to the entire county.
 Claudio Middleton, IT, daughter of the postmaster at Crabtree, Stone county, pleaded guilty to forging money orders in the United States district court yesterday. Judge Trie- ter sentenced her to 30 days in the Pulaski county jail. The girl con- fessed to forging several money or ders, aggregating about S700, immed- lately after her arrest few months ago. She tore orders from the back of a money order book and ordered goods from mail order houses in New York and Chicago. Her father de- tected the forgeries and at once mo- tifed the postal authorities. The girl, who did not seem to realize the se- riousness of her offense, said she com mitted the forgeries because she wanted pretty things" When an or gan and other articles she had order ed from the mail order houses arrived at their home, her parents believed they were gifts of an elderly, well-to
 10 man, who made his home with the family.
 M. D. L. Stone pleaded guilty to embedding postoffice funds at Casa, Ferry county, where he was employ cd in the postoffice. He was sentenc- ed to year and day in the Atlanta penitentiary.
