TO ADD ANOTHER
 LINOTYPE MACHINE CONWAY PRINTING co. GIVES ORDER FOR INSTALLA. TON OF SECOND TIE
 CASTING MACHINE.

The Conway Printing Company, publishers of the Log Cabin Demo- crat, today placed an order with Al Sparlng, representative of the Mer- genthaler Linotype Company, for an other model , linotype machine, simi- lar to the one now in operation in their office, but with later improve ments. The machine is to be ship ped from Brooklyn, N. Y., at once and will be installed and in opera tion in about three weeks The local plant will be the only two-machine printing establishment in the state in city of less than 10000 popula- ton.
 Six years ago, with considerable trepidation and doubt as to whether the business would justify it, the Conway Printing Company bought it's first machine, which does the work of at least six hand compost tors For some time the work was hardly sufficient to keep one operator busy during an eight hour doy. Gradually, however, the volume of work has increased until now two shifts are at work day and night constantly and frequently even with three shifts of operators, working the full 24 hours q day, it is impos- sible to turn out work as rapidly as desired.
 Besides increasing the capacity of the plant, the equipment purchased with the new machine will give the office a much wider range of work and make it possible for more differ ent jobs to be carried on at the same time without interference.

Wight, in charge of the United States tick eradication forces in this state; will hold meet ing with the farmers and others in terested at the courthouse in this city tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.

 Already considerable activity is being manifested over the county in regard to cattle dipping, and several communities have either constructed or arranged to construct dipping vats. A tax of five cents on each head of cattle is now being collected for the purpose of tick eradication work.

CANCEL DATE TO
 ATTEND MEETING OF CENTRAL COMMITTEE
CANDIDATES SKIP HOLLAND APPOINTMENT so AS TO BE
 AT CONWAY.

Regarding the selection of the judges and clerks at Saturday 8 meeting of the Faulkner County Democratic Central Committee as of such importance to their interests as to make their presence at the meeting necessary, candidates for county offices yesterday decided to postpone the appointment to speak at Holland Saturday, and will come in to Conway after filling their engage ment at Enola today. The Holland appointment will probably be filled on Monday, March 27, two days before the primary, as no dates have been set after March 25, when the candi- dates speak at Conway.
 The committee meeting will be call ed to order at 10 o'clock tomorrow at the courthouse. As proxies under the rules of the state convention are no longer permitted to vote at the meetings, is is believed that practi- cally every member of the committee will be present.
 The ballots for the election are be- ing printed today and will be ready for delivery to the committeeman to- morrow. Instead of using the ordi- nary form of ticket, which would have been ribbon of paper three inches wide and 36 inches long, the ticket is made up in three columns, each about 12 inches long, and is eight inches wide.
 G. Otis Bogle of Brinkley, candi- date for prosecuting attorney, after making three of the appointments this week, came in last night from Mt Vernon and left to visit points in Lonoke and Prairie counties. He stated that he will return to resume the campaign of tins county next week. Ed Condray of Faulkner coun- ty, candidate for the same position, is addressing the voters at each ap- pointment.

WARNING AGAINST
 LOCAL OPTION MAN
EDITOR OF METHODIST
DECLARES DEMOCRACY WOULD REPUDIATE SUCH A NOMI-
 NEE FOR GOVERNOR

The Arkansas Methodist this week contains a strong editorial warning to the Democracy of Arkansas against the possible nomination of L. c. Smith, who is making the race for governor with local option as one of the principal blanks in his platform. Such nominee, the Methodist de- clares, would be repudiated and de feated, as was the case in Tennessee a few years ago. The Methodist says:
 Last fall when Hon. J. w. Crock cit was thinking of becoming a can didate for governor, l.. C. Smith, who was from the same county, chal- lenged MT. Crockett to submit their claims to the electors of their home county. We quoted Mr. Crockett s frank reply at the time, but, believing that the situation justifes it, we call attention to it again.

SOCIETIES
 EACH WINS HONOR

Honors were divided last night at the annual joint open session of the Alpha and Euzelian literary societies of Central College, the Alphas win ming the Reclamation contest and the Euzelians the debate.

The Alpha representatives were Misses Bonnie Clayton and Amy Com pere.

If this be true, l could not support you in a Democratic primary, for l am unalterably opposed to the repeal of such law Mr. Crockett undoubt- edly understood the meaning of local option. Let the politicians take notice If by small plurality they force a local option candidate on the Democratic party, there will be an uprising of good citizens and repu- diation of their candidate. The eX- ample of Tennessee will be followed. We speak advisedly. The good people of Arkansas will not submit forever to the rule of minority who stand for liquor and lawlessness. Christian men who love their state and their party should see that local option candidates for all offices are defeat ed"

the war zone surrounding Great Brit
ain. With regard to these no assur-
| ances have ever been given to the gov
ernment of the United States No such
assurances are contained in the dec
laration of February 8. 1916"
Errors Are Unavoidable"
The German government cannot ad-
nit any doubt that these orders were
given or are executed in good faith.
Errors actually occurred. They can in
no kind of warfare be avoided alto
gether. Allowances must be made in
the conduct of naval warfare against
an enemy resorting to all kinds of
ruses, whether permissible or Illicit.
But apart from the possibility of
errors. naval warfare, just like warfare
on land, implies unavoidable dangers
for neutral persons and goods entering
the fighting zone. Even in cases where
the naval action is confined to ordinary
forms of cruiser warfare, neutral per-
sons and goods repeatedly come to
grief.
The German government has repeat :
edly and explicitly pointed out the dan
gers from mines that have led to the
loss of numerous ships
The German government has made
several proposals to the government of
the United States in order to reduce to
a minimum for american travellers and
goods the inherent dangers of naval
warfare. Unfortunately. the govern

But as matters stand the German

demanding that Germany. struggling

an effective weapon. and while making
compliance with these demands a con-

Germany's enemies. Moreover. the
German people know to what consid-
