ONE SIDE IS
PARALYZED

Coxwell, the victim of the
motorcycle accident, was resting
easier late last night at the PEN
sac0la hospital, though he was
still in semi-conscious condition.
He viii probably be operated upon
this morning.
Hurled from his motorcycle as he
was rounding the curve of the next to
the last. lap of 10-mile race at a
mile-a-minute clip Thursday, George
Coxwell suffered fracture of the
skull, which paralyzed his left side,
necessitating an operation. Strange
to say, he escaped without bruises
or decorations, bleeding only at the
ear.
The other racers had no intimation
of the accident until they saw him
lying in puddle of blood as they
swept by on the last round. When
the flag dropped announcing the
winner, they continued around the
track to aid the victim. Spectators
likewise hurried to his assistance. An
automobile was secured, and the UNI
conscious Coxwell was rushed to DR..

was administered. and from where he
was takes to the hospital to UNDER

Geo. CoxwelI has no family. He is
a fireman on the L. e N. and lives on
East Gadsden street. He has many
friends.
Peculiar Accident.
No one was close enough to see
exactly how the accident happened.
The curious part is that the motor
cycle fell outward-that is, the sad
die was from and the wheel to the
curve. Rounding the curve, the rider
leans towards the curve, and with a
simple skid, should so fall The only
explanation of this reversal of the
centrifugal law is that Coxwell either
became dizzy, or that in endeavoring
to save himself from a skid or a
bounce, he lurched too far to one
. side.
Third Accident of Meet.
This is the third accident of the

@How much more information have you

"Well-" Morgan hesitated.
THE sales manager watched him in

"Mr. Morgan he said, eve run this

far as possible, to get intelligent college

It's survival of the fittest. We take a

ager, polishing his glasses, @that if were

He smiled even more broadly at the ex-
preston on Morgan's face.
"Thats another thing" he added.
"We're always glad to give men in inn
portant positions little extra vacation
in June-for cause"
ALTHOUGH he no longer needed any
: moral stimulus to hold him rigidly to
business, it wasn't until the third week in
May that Morgan at last turned the key
of his safe-deposit box and brought to
light the heavy envelop with its precious
contents.
He nodded familiarly to the receiving
teller, who by this time knew him rather
well, and made out cash slip.

"You can furnish whole block of houses

He began to run over the bills, paused
at the third, proceeded slowly to the

and whistled.
"Wait just minute?" he asked.

for the inevitable but long-delayed ex-

Morgan followed him down a corridor

opened at the attendants knock. In a

around the State circuit. From the first
interview to the last, he abhorred it; and
from the first interview to the last, he
made an astonishing record Of small sue
cesses. This was because he wrote out,
at least once a day, curt resignation,
and tore it up without wasting postage
stamp; and because, also, he approached
each potential customer in spirit that
was practically nvincible-repeating over
and over to himself in the ante-room that
this would absolutely be his very last
selling argument, SO that he must make
it o good one, and retire in blaze of
glory.
And at night, after filing his report to
headquarters, he smoked thoughtfully
and resolved to complete the trip any,
way. After that, Of course, he could do
as he liked; but, since he had voluntarily
undertaken this phase of commerce, he
should in common decency see it through.
The net result was brief commenda-
tion from his chief and new quartered-
oak desk in the sales department.
I ONG since, he had come to look upon
his find as personal property. Now
he debated the advisability of using it to
establish a checking account. Here, how
ever, a certain romantic tendency in his
disposition came into prominence He
thought that it would be far better, far
more satisfying, to leave that treasure
intact, for use next June. He'd like to
reach his self-appointed goal without even
having appropriated the funds to his own
balance, whether he drew against them
or not. That would be eminently pleas
urable.
Furthermore, he was fully aware that
the rightful owner might still appear on
the horizon.
Lastly, he knew that employees of the
motor company didn't carry hundred dol
lar bills, as rule, and that no bank in
town would fail to make investigation in
case Of such a deposit.
His own skirts were clean, but if there
were formal inquiry he was afraid that
the ubiquitous police department would
claim jurisdiction over the money-and
shortly discover convenient person who
had lost it. And in its present location
it was quite safe-and Morgan could af-
ford, in consideration of peace and Sc
curity, to sacrifice three and a half per
cent interest.
In November and December he made
additional trips. The day before Christ
mas the sales manager summoned him to
his desk
"Mr. Morgan" he began, @I've been
asked how it happens that you know so
much more about this department than
1 do"
His tone was serious, but his eyes were
smiling.
"'Here you've put stock in four towns
1 personally marked N. g., and you
want agencies in three places l don't like
and two l never heard of. What's the
answer"
The answer was that Morgan, goaded
by the knowledge that he needn't study
if he didn't care to, had taken exquisite
delight in devoting ten or twelve hours
week to the assimilation of innumerable
rows and columns of statistics.
Yet, after recovering from bit of em-
barrassment, he said:
"Why, crops were pretty good down
that way"

as last year!"

Morgan bowed to each.
@Mr. Morgan said the president de-
liberately, "would you mind telling me
exactly-eractly how you came into pos
session of this money!"
Morgan didn't mind in the least.
"Not at all. found it on Main Street,

The three officials exchanged glances.

"That's about right, think"
"Of course we can verify it,"
The president tapped impatiently on
his desk.
"How are you so sure of the date, Mr..
Morgan?"
"Why-I'd finished calendar year
out here, Mr.. Story, and I'd had big dis
appointment. That rather fixed it in my
memory"
Il see. Did you make any attempt to
find who lost this money!"
"Yes. You'll find my advertisement

@The fact is, Mr.. Morgan said the
president very gravely, that-twenty-

explosively. "This was all there was!

Little Rock, Oct. 13.-Announce- ment was made yesterday by Govern or Hays that upon the resignation of Justice w. F. Kirby to become United States senator, Chancellor T. H. Humphreys of Fayetteville will be appointed to the vacancy on the Su- preme bench, and that Ben F. McMa- han, a Harrison attorney, would be appointed chancellor of the Eleventh Chancery district. Each prospective appointee, the governor said, had in dicated that he would accept. It is not probable that Justice Kirby will resign until after the general cleo tion.
 Governor Hays said that he had had his mind made up on these ap- pointments, or, rather the appoint ment to the bench, for some time.

COTTON GINNING
 BREAKS RECORD DOUBLE ANY OTHER YEAR
U. s. Census Report Shows 7,542 Bales Ginned in Faulkner County
 to September 9.

According to bulletin of the United States census bureau received by tn clog Cabin Democrat, 7,542 bales of cotton were ginned in Faulk- her county to September 22 this year This is more than 10 times the num- Der ginned to the same date last year. which was 724, and more than double the ginnings to the same date in any previous year. The next highest numbers were 3,659 in 1914, and 3,383 in 1913.
 Faulkner stands 14th among the counties in the state in ginnings to September 25. Jefferson county leads with 12, ,166 bales and Mississippi county is a close second, with 11,781 bales. Southeast Arkansas counties generally had ginned less cotton than to the same date in 1915, while western Arkansas counties had gin ned vastly more, the most striking differences being in Sebastian county, which ginned 4,794, against II, the previous year, and Crawford county which ginned 5,524, against 32.
 The next report will carry the gin nings to October IS. This period will also doubtless be as heavy as, if not heavier than in any previous year in Faulkner county, and will probably bring the countys total to about l6,000 bales. In the period from Sep tember 25 to October IS for the past three years the ginnings in Faulkner county have been as follows: 1915, 5,541 bales; 1914, 7,667 bales, and 1913, 1889 bales.
 After October IS, however, gin nings in this county are expected to show decreases proportionally as great as the increases preceding that date. It is generally conceded that picking will have been practically completed on all except river bottom farms by November 1 and in some cases it has almost been completed now From October IS to the close of the season in the past three years the number of bales ginned in Faulk- ner county has been as follows: 1915, 1,641; 1914, 11,742; 1913, 13,984.

The distinction of the diploma which she expected to receive next June and the "hoodoo" of Friday, the 18th, were forgotten by Miss Laura Hopson of Mountain Home, senior in the State Normal School, today, when her sweetheart came to Conway. The romance began last year, when O. B. Hodnett of Stamps was also a stu dent of the Normal. The couple planned to wed at the close of the session in June, but Miss Hopson yielded to her parents earnest solic- itation that she complete her work for degree and she returned to the Normal last month. Today Mir. Hod- nett, who is now teaching at Stamps, arrived on the scene and few hours later, in the office of County Clerk J. A. Lea, the young couple stood be- fore County Judge J. w. Holt and were pronounced man and wife Mir

ENROLMENT AT
 HENDRIX IS 26l WILL PASS 3O0-MARK
Work of Raising $40O,0O0 Additional Endowment Progressing Nicely.
 Dr. Thomas Reports.

The enrolment at Hendrix College doubt will exceed 300, surpassing all previous records for that institution. Up to the present date 26l students have matriculated, the number being within six of last sessions total, which itself set a new record for the college As new students are being enrolled almost daily and as a large number will enter at the beginning of the second semester when new classes are formed, it is practically certain that the 300-mark will be passed before the end of the session.
 The student body is said to be more mature and consists of larger number of out-of-town young men than ever before. There are fewer students in the sub-college classes and the enrolment of local students has slightly decreased, but this difference is more than made up by an increased attendance of college men from abroad.
 Dr. James Thomas is making satis- factory progress in raising money to- ward an additional $400,00O for en- dowment and building for Hendrix according to a report published by him in this weeks Arkansas Metho- dist He states that more than $l00,- 900 of the fund has already been provided.

BUTTON SALE ON
 FOR AMENDMENT F

Following addresses delivered to- day by T. A. Trusty of Fort Smith, field manager in charge of the cam paign for the adoption of amendment No. 12, at the high school, State Nor- mai and Hendrix College, a button sale will be put on tomorrow for the purpose of helping to defray the ex- penses of the campaign. MT. Trusty urged the adoption of the amendment in short but inspiring addresses at each institution. He declared that the amendment, which will give dis tricts the right to levy school tax as high as 12 mills if voted, is in danger of defeat only from apathy upon the part of the voters and not from active opposition, as apparent ly vast majority of those who have given it any thought are in favor of it.
 Each pupil in Conway was given a number of buttons and was requested to buy one himself and sell as many others as possible tomorrow. The buttons are sold at 10 cents each.

NORMAL 10 GIVE
 ATHLETICS CREDIT

Credit towards graduation will be given students at the State Normal School who participate in athletics It was announced today by Prof. E A. Brennan, secretary of the faculty The student does not have to play on the first team in order to receive the credits, but he must appear upon the athletic field regularly for practice. Absence from practice must be ac- counted for the same as absence from class work. The four branches stip- ulated are football, baseball. basket ball and track.
 Students participating in any one of the four branches will be given one-half credit, with one credit as the minimum and the maximum. The student will be required to practice regularly in two branches of athletics to receive one credit while participa- tion in all four will give him but one credit.
 The Normal is the first institution in the state to adopt this method, it is said. Many students who did not expect to play on the teams have gone out for sports, large majority of them expecting to become teach CTS, and usually it is required of them that they be able to coach athletic teams.
