SAYS RICHES LIE
 CLOSE AT HAND
DIR. C0NWELL LECTURES
INTERESTING PARSONAGE DE- LINERS ADDRESS AT SCHOOL
 AUDITORIUM.

The lecture at the public school auditorium last night by Dr. Russell Conwell on the subject, Acres of Diamonds was an earnest appeal to the people of Conway and the to the students of Conway schools to realize that right here and now there are un- told riches awaiting the man or wom- an with the good sense to discover and appropriate them. The lecturer de- clared that we are suffering in Con- way from a lack of loyalty to our town-that we do not talk up our advantages and compel the world to recognize them.
 Another point well taken was that we do not recognize greatness unless it chances to be clothed in authority unless it happens to hail from the seat of the mighty. We see no great opportunity in our own little world; we see no great people in it, either. We look right over the greatness of our neighbor and the greatness of our opportunities and fix our eyes on oOIilS iilelii III q llISi OlliNC OL OIl SOillc large city far away, and, like the for tune hunting Persian, wander away into foreign lands to fail miserably, while another man with eyes to see and mind to comprehend takes our places and discovers in our very gar den the limitless treasures of Col conda.
 A final point-and one of the finest was a warning to the young people, especially to our students, against the delusion that they are to achieve greatness at some distant day when they shall have gained wealth or of fee or other distinction. He remind ed them that if they are not great now-as students, as members of the home circle, as individuals in the community life-that they need not expect to be great later; that the gaining of office or wealth will not

DR CONCERTS HEALTH
 IS RAPIDLY IMPROVING
HEAD OF CENTRAL COLLEGE TO RETURN TO HIS DUTIES
 IN A FEW DAYS.

That Dr. John w. Conger, presi- dent of Central College, is rapidly re- covering and will return to Conway the latter part of this week, is the welcome information brought by O. s. Russ of the college staff, who re- turned last night from Hot Springs, where Dr. Conger has been staying for the past few weeks. It had been reported here that Dr. Conger was suffering from Bright's disease and that his condition was alarming.
 His illness is a general physical breakdown, due to the postponement of long-needed rest, said Mr. Russ today. While he has been very sick, his illness has not been critical and his physicians believe that in short time he will have recovered his old time strength and vigor. Dr. and Mrs. Conger will probably return to Conway about Friday of this week.

make up for inherent defects or char acter or accomplishment.
 Personally, Dr. Conwell is most interesting man. He has lived and worked long and purposefully. He is pastor of a great city church, presi- dent of university, and lectures over 200 times a year. He never uses any of the money received for his lectures, but gives it all to needy young men in college. The proceeds of each lecture go to different young man. For instance, the check given him here yesterday was mailed this morning to young man in the Virginia Military Institute.
 This has been his practice for 40 years, during which time he has av- eraged helping 200 young men each year. Besides this, he has built and is maintaining two hospitals in Phila- delphia and he contributes largely to the support of his ministry.
 Although an old man, he has been featuring 55 years-he is great worker. Yesterday afternoon, for ex- ample, he visited the public school, got acqainted with the general feat ures of Conway, dictated 120 person. al letters, and then lectured two hours last night. We younger fel- lows may well doff our hats to him.

DECLARES 'DEA1nBED
 LETTER. WAS HOAX
SHELLEY MANNING'S FATHER SAYS BOY WAS WELL AND
 ALIVE FEB. "A.

The ''deathbed" letter written to the Log Cabin Democrat last week by Shelley Manning of Dawson, Mo-, in which the writer stated that he was dying of broken heart" because his family and sweetheart had turned against him, was a hoax perpetrated by young Manning himself or some one else, according to T. A. Manning, his father, who resides at Romance. White county, Arkansas. A letter just received by the Log Cabin Demo- crat from Mir. Manning states that the boy was alive and we'll on Feb ruary 24, while Frank Benton, who forwarded young Manning's letter to this paper, stated that he was buried on February 10. Mir. Manning has not yet heard directly from his son, but has received card from the post master at Dawson, stating that the report of young Manning's death was untrue. The postmaster's card reads as follows
 Dear Sir-If Shelley Manning is your boy, he is alive and getting along fine. He works about three miles from here for a man by the name of J. c. Ellis. I am we'll acquainted with Shelley. He has been here about a month He gets his mail at Dawson postoffice."
