J. A. LEA FOR COUNTY CLERR.

In this issue of the Log Cabin Dem- ocrat appears the announcement of James A. Lea as a candidate for re- election as county and probate clerk of Faulkner county. While MT. Lea has held office in Faulkner county for considerable number of years he has not done so without going each time through hard campaign. Even when candidate for a second term in the three county offices which he has held, he has always had opposition in the primaries, except once, and on that occasion he had to make vigorous fight against fusion candidate In the general election. But his friends, whom he numbers by the hundreds and who live in every township, have each time rallied to his support and he has won, usually by handsome majorities. In presenting himself to the Demo- cratic voters as candidate again, MT. Lea says he has no promises to make other than that he will diligently, courteously and carefully perform the duties of the office and do all that is in his power to conserve the interests of the people.

J. H. BAILEY FOR COUNTY AND
 PROBATE JUDGE.

For some time it has been known
 among his friends that J. H. Bailey would be a candidate for county and
 probate judge, and the Log Cabin Democrat today takes pleasure in pre-
 senting to it's readers MT. Bailey's for
 mai announcement for that position. It would be difficult for the Democrat ic voters to find a man better fitted for this important position than MT. Bailey. He has had large experience
 in practical road building and will thus be able intelligently to direct this vastly important work. He is a sue cessful business man and can handle
 the county's financial affairs in a con- servative and economical manner. His
 four years in the office of county and
 probate clerk familiarized him with
 the details of the county judges du- ties, and this experience will be valu- able to him. Besides being well quail fled, MT. Bailey is personally very popular and he will doubtless receive a strong if not winning vote.

JAMES SURR|DCf COLLISION VICTIM
pecial to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat Little Rock, Oct. 25.-Little hope is entertained for the recovery of James
 Surridge, A, chairman of the board
 of control for the state charitable in-
 stitutions, who was injured late yes
 terday in collision between Governor Hays automobile and street car at Sixth and Victory streets. MT. Sur
 ridge was hurled 15 feet from the au- tomobile and struck head first on a
 concrete curbing. His skull was frac- tured. Surgeons removed a section
 of the bran and several clots of blood. The car was driven by Grady Hays, the governors son. MT. and Mrs. J. M. Doyle and Miss Naomi Surridge,
 daughter of MT. Surridge, were also
 in the car, but none was seriously in ! jured.

c. c. JONES FOR REPRESENTA-
 TIVE.

It is the fixed conviction of Prof. Charles C. Jones, whose announcement for representative appears in this is- sue of the Log Cabin Democrat, that the people are sovereign and that their legislative representative should seek to express the peoples will rather than his own ideas. Personal ly, he says, he is in favor of better system of road building, of a stock law and of permitting school district to vote any tax it desires or finds necessary to maintain it's schools. But he states that in these as we'll as other things he would be guided by the wishes of his constituency, which would at all times take precedence over his individual policies. Prof Jones, is elected, says that he will strive to promote the general good of the greatest number; that he will favor an economical management of the state and county affairs and will vote and work for the liberal appro- priations which are needed to care for the growth of the Arkansas State Normal School, located in his county These and other policies, he states, will be fully explained to the voters during the campaign. Prof. Jones is popular young teacher, born and reared on a Faulkner county farm, and will doubtless be a strong candi- date for the position he seeks.

 cluded. Everybody is expected to buy
 b;s l,,nch at the stands. Those who

 southwest corner of Front and Oak
 streets, prepared to tell the fortune of any who may seek her assistance
 The carnival this year promises to
 far eclipse in every particular the one i held last year, members of the com com, ,mittee on arrangements state. A
 much larger number of attractions
 will he offered, the floats will be more beautifully decorated and more num-
 erous. and the parade will occupy
 more space.

DECLINE IN BOTH
 SftD AND COTTON
5,7l3,000lBALES GINNED
REPORT HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON FUTURES MARKET-SEED
 MARKET OFF $2.00.
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily
 Declines in the prices of both cot ton and cottonseed occurred in the To- cal market today, cotton dropping from 12 3-4 cents to 12 1-2 cents for good cotton, and cottonseed falling from $37 Saturday to $35 per ton to- day.
 The third report of the census bu- reau on cotton ginning was made pub lie at Washington at 10 o'clock this morning. The report showed 5,713,- 900 bales ginned to October IS, as compared with 7,619,O00 to the same date year ago. It was generally be- lieved that anything under 6,000,OO0 bales would be regarded as bullish by the trade, and when the report came nearly 100000 under that figure, a big advance was expected, but after opening only about 10 points higher, the market lost even that advance during the days trading. Demand for actual cotton is said to be very limited and buyers are having diffi- culty in securing bids on their hold ings. One buyer stated today that none of the local merchants could turn his cotton loose without selling it at least quarter cent under what was being paid to the producers here today
 About 5000 bales have been mar keted at Conway thus far this season and short crop predictions are being sustained by reports that many of the farmers are practically done picking The ginnings for Faulkner county cannot be made public until the de tailed reports of the enumerators are mailed to Washington and the figures verified. This will be about 10 days after the totals are announced.
 No reason is assigned for the slump in cottonseed, which week before had reached the record price of SAC per ton. The local market opened al $35 today, and this price has prevail ed throughout the day, with practic ally all the mills represented here ir the market at that figure

TILES SECOND SUIT
 TO SECURE DIVORCE
CAMPBELL BELL OF MT. YER NON ALLEGES WIFE HAS
 DESERTED HIM.

From Thursdays Daily
 A second suit for divorce from his wife, Isabel Bell, was filed in the Faulkner chancery court today by Campbell Bell of Mt. Vernon. The complaint states that the couple were married in this county May 29, 1879, and lived together until May II, 1911, when the defendant deserted the plaintiff. The property rights be- tween them, the complaint alleges, was settled on July 10, 1911, when plaintiff paid the defendant $500. Subsequently the plaintiff filed suit for divorce on grounds of desertion and cruel treatment. Mrs. Bell filed an answer and cross-complaint and the court dismissed the case for want of equity, ordering the defendant to return the $500 and resume her mar ital relations with the plaintiff. This, the plaintiff now alleges, she has re- fused to do, and the divorce is sought on grounds of desertion.
 The plaintiff also asks that he be granted custody of the three minor children of the couple, for whom he states he is now providing.

LAUGHTER FOR COUNTY
 CLERK.

Prof. J. M. c. Vaughter, whose for nal announcement for county clerk appears in this issue of the Log Cabin Democrat, needs no introduction to the people of Faulkner county. He has been a teacher in this county so long that nobody remembers when he began, but some of his early pupils now have grandchildren in the public schools-and Prof. Vaughter is not an old man, at that. For third of a century or more he has been regard ed as one of the leading educators of this section of the state, and during all his years in that profession he has taken an active interest in politics
 He has represented the Twenty Seventh district in the Arkansas sen- ate, has served four years as circuit clerk and several terms as county examiner and in all these positions he made good" Not even those who are opposed to him will deny that if elected to the position he now seeks he will render faithful and efficient service and his friends are predicting his nomination by decisive vote.
