run last week and the following
men finished in the order named:
Marshall, Crockett, Manning, and
Smart. The first named runner
covered the quarter in Sc 3-5 Sec
onds, while the other three sprint
ers finished within 81 and SO sec
onds.
The poor time was due to the
slow track which was heavy from
rains of the preceding evening.
All four of the above men have
previously run the quarter in less
than 55 seconds. Several men
were tie for fifth and the trial for
fifth place was held on Friday,
Steele won out in Sc rs seconds.
Steele's time was even better than
that of any made the preceding
day but the track was in much bet
ter shape. The men will probably
run for places this week.
Smith, the fast 100 yard man,
will be entered in the inter-colleg-
late 100 yard dash. Judging from
his past performances ne will more
than likely make some of the crack
sprinters step some. Smith ran
the hundred in 10 seconds flat last
/ year, and this year ne bids fair to
run it in even better time. If so;
he stands a good chance of MAX
ing place in the finals. Crothers
and Gontieu are wor:lng hard to
carry off honors in the distance
runs in the dual meets this season,
while Gibney and w. Manning will
again take care of the high jump
and pole vault.
Much is also expected of Crock
ett in the hurdles and it is hoped
that he will better Captain Deans
record of last year.
Steele should also make good in
the hurdles since he made a place
in last years meets and should
profit by experience this season.
The track squad goes to Gettys-
burg on May T and they expect to
bring home a few trophies

OFFICIALS DIFFER ON
CLOSING OF TICKET
DECEMBER | OR MARCH l.?
CHAIRMAN SAYS ONE, SECRE-
TARY SAYS THE OTHER is
THE FINAL DATE.
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
Does the time for paying fees to
have names of candidates for county
and township offices in Faulkner
county printed on the ballots expire
IN December /, 1915, or March l,
1916? This is a question which is
Worrying some of the aspirants for
office today.
Chairman A. L. Nichols of the
Faulkner County Democratic Central
Committee says that the rules as
adopted by the committee at its meet
ing on October % provided the names
Of no candidates should be printed OIL
the ballots unless the fee for doing
so was paid to the treasurer mot
later than December /, 1915
Secretary j. R. Donnell admits that
the typewritten copy of the resolu
tion contains this date, but declares
that he was authorized by the author
of the resolution, G. w. Clark, to
make all needed changes in the dates
of the resolution, which was original
" drafted to call the county primary
on January 8, 1916. In the contest
for an early and late primary at
the October committee meeting, d
compromise was effected by fixing the
date uniform with that of the state
urinary, March 20, 1916. In the two
places where it occurs the date Janu-
ary 8 was erased and the words, "the
last Wednesday in March" were writ
ten. The time mentioned for closing
the ticket, however, was not changed
during the committees session. but
Secretary Donnell says he was au-
thorized to make these changes.
Chairman Nichols takes the posi-
ton that no mention was made in the
committee meeting of changing the
date from December / to March l,
that no amendment to that effect was
offered prior to the adoption of the.
resolution and that the secretary is
without power to extend the time.
Treasurer v. G. Craig said this
afternoon that while many of the
candidates have already paid their
tees, there are several that have been
regarded as candidates who have not
done so. Under the earliest construc-
ton of the resolution, however, all
, candidates will have until tomorrow
Wednesday, night to pay their fees

Two MEN DROWN
NEAR DAMASCUS
ON THANKSGIVING DAY
SWOLLEN MOUNTAIN STREAM
COSTS LIVES OF TWO
YOUNG FARMERS.

The Log Cabin Democrats Damas-
Gus correspondent today reported the
accidental drowning of Oscar French
and jolly Ward, two young farmers
living in Greasy Valley, which occur
red in Pine Mountain creek, about
two miles north of Damascus, on
Thanksgiving night The bodies were
not recovered until "a hours later.
The young men started from Da--
mascus to go to their homes on Thurs
day night, riding mules. The unusu-
ally heavy rains of Thursday after
noon had swollen the stream to such
an extent that in the darkness they
are supposed to have lost their way
or fallen from the animals they were
riding. Both mules succeeded in'get-
ting out of the creek and the arrival
home of the riderless animals was the
first warning the families had that
the young men had met with an acci-
dent. Search was at once instituted
and it was soon determined that
French and Ward had been drowned
in the creek. Every effort to recover
the bodies, however, failed until after
dark Friday night, when the stream
had begun to fall and they were 10
Gated.
The accident occurred in the south
ern edge of Van Buren, county.

SMALLEST COTTON
CROP since 1909
INDICATED IN FAULKNER
GINNINGS TO NOVEMBER II
ABOUT ONE-THIRD SHORT
OF LAST YEAR.
From Mondays Daily


Detailed announcement of govern
ment census ginning figures by coun-
ties to November ID, indicates that
Faulkner county's yield this year will
be the smallest since 1909, when only
4,639 bales were ginned in the coun-
ty. The number OF bales ginned to
November IA this year was 1888.
as compared with 19,436 last year,
when the total was 25,306 bales, and
with 1878 in 1912, when the total
was 20,685 bales.
The number of bales ginned in this
county during the period from No
vember / to November Ia this year
was 1874, as compared with 4,O6G
during the same period last year,
ALL in 1918, and 1929 in 1912.
The percentage of the total crop
ginned to November IA in this county
was fraction over "a, the highest
in the past three years. The same
percentage this year would indicate a
total ginning of approximately 10000
bales, but it is believed by local cot
ton men that the percentage ginned
this year is higher than that of last
year, and the total yield this year
will not greatly exceed $4,000 bales.

QUAIL SEASON OPENS
TODAY: TO END JAN. 81
NEW LAW LIMITS BAG TO Ia
AND PROTECTS OWNERS
OF ENCLOSED LAND.

The open season for quail as pre-
scribed by the new game law begins
today and ends January 81, and is the
most exacting of any law regulating
the killing of quail that has ever been
in force in Arkansas. Protection OF
the quail from ruthless slaughter and
protection of owners of enclosed land
are the two important features OF the
law.
1t limits the bag of the hunter IN
any one days shoot to Is birds, and
requires every person hunting upon
enclosed land to have written per-
nit from the owner or manager OF
the land. He must have that permit
in his possession while hunting on the
grounds. Before the enactment OF the
present law there was no bag limit IT

November / and ended March /.

At the Conway meeting efforts will
be made to have every business man

sion.
The plan of diversifcation was so
successfully carried out throughout
the south during the past year that
the cotton production was reduced
about one-third and the price nearly
doubled, while the farmers, as
whole. for the first time in many
years, produced sufficient foodstuff to
supply themselves. The south was
thus able to recover in one year from
the disastrous and panicky conditions
brought about by siX-cent cotton, and
it is to guard against repetition OF
this disaster that the second profit
able farming campaign is planned.
