JOHNSON STRONG
 FOR STATE ROAD SEBASTIAN LEGISLATOR Writes that His Heart is Set Upon Building Hard Road from Little
 Rock to Fort Smith.

Representative Jo Johnson of Fort CTS in the state for the turnpike road from Little Rock to Fort Smith, be- ing advocated by the Log Cabin Democrat, several other newspapers and large numbers of citizens along the line. The Sebastian county rep resentative, who is being promi- nently mentioned as a candidate for speaker of the house, writes the Log Cabin Democrat that his heart is especially set on building this road, and he can be depended upon to do great service in it's interest when the proposition comes before the legislature.
 In his letter to the Log Cabin Democrat MT. Johnson says:
 q received your issue with the prominent first-page editorial on the Little Rock-Fort Smith highway l thank you for the paper and am de- lighted with your interest and es- pecially with the good discretion of your interest.
 "Yes, it is important that meetings be called along the line for the pur- pose of working up an interest. My heart is especially set on building hard surfaced road from Fort Smith to Little Rock. l want to build it with convict labor, restricting the cash necessities to materials and su- pervision.
 "If perchance the legislature de- velops opposition to such great state contribution to our locality, then probably will openly declare that my purpose is not selfish nor personal; that l want hard surfaced road from the center of the state to the state line, and l am willing that the first such road shall be built from the capital to the state line in what ever direction will within a given time arrange for the appropriation of the largest sum of local moneys. Then, 1 feel, we should and would get it in this direction, on that con- petitive basis. In the possibly en- forced alternative, your plan of working up the local interest would he most material.
 Push it."

COTTON L0WfR;;
 SEED S3 HIGHER

The price of cotton is again sharp ly lower today, December contracts in New York closing at 15.33, a net loss of 3 points. Local buyers, who failed to follow yesterdays decline in utures, today reduced their prices about $2 bale, 15.3O being the top of the market late this afternoon. Yesterdays prevailing price was 15.75.
 The decline in cotton on the local market, however, is almost offset by another big jump in the price of cot tonseed, which was advanced from $37 to $40 per ton today. This means an increase of $1.5O in the value of seed from an average bale, almost overcoming the decline in cot ton. The lower prices are apparently making no difference in the rapidity with which cotton is being rushed to market.

MAMMOTH AID BY LOCAL MERCHANTS .FRAUFNTnAL & SCHW WARZ Publish Eleven-Page Advertisement Announcing Their Fourth Big
 Annual Sale.

Today's issue of the Log Cabin Democrat weekly edition contains an eleven-page advertisement of the well-known firm of Frauenthal & Schwarz, announcing their fourth an- nual sale. Besides being probably the strongest general mercantile firm in Arkansas, this concern is also the most liberal user of printers ink. The mammoth advertisement in the Log Cabin Democrat will also be pub lished this week by the Arkansas Farmer of this city and by news papers of Cleburne, White, Van Buren and Perry counties, thereby reaching every nook and cranny of possible Conway trade territory.
 Contrary to the policy of most stores which advertise reduction sales at or near the close of the sea- son, Frauenthal & Schwarz have for the past four years announced their reduced prices on all lines right at the beginning of the fall trade, there by giving the early purchaser the SdiHe do tHOoC Wio Duy late in the season.
 "P. P. F." is the keynote of the big Give and let live sale No. 4" this year, the letters standing for "peo- ple's prosperity prices" In addition to descriptions and prices of prac- tically every line carried in this great store, which years ago began offering the trade "everything for use, for wear and to eat," double page spread is devoted to announcing Frauenthal & Schwarz' newest line, the automobile department, where the we'll known Chevrolet car will be sold. A well-equipped garage, repair and accessory shop, together with tires, oils, gasoline, etc, are in cluded in the new department.
 Besides the interesting prices, the firm announces some other attractive

NEW OFFICERS KEEPING
 APPOINTMENTS DARK
Much Speculation at Capitol as to Patronage Under the Next
 Administration.

Little Rock, Sept. With the approaching reorganization of the state departments, and the installa- tion of number of new officials, the question of patronage is one that at tracts much attention. The identity of men to occupy the various posi- tions becomes matter of specula tion. In the offices of governor, sec retary of state, auditor of state, su- perintendent of public instruction, and elsewhere there will be not less than 23 clerks, deputies, stenogra- phers and other minor positions to fill
 Up to the present time, only one selection has been officially announc- ed. Tom w. Campbell, of Pocahon- tas, erst member of the legislature and perennial candidate for congress, will be assistant attorney general, under John D. Arbuckle. It is ru- mored in capitol circles that c. H. Moses the present holder of the dep- uty law portfolio, . will become pr vate secretary to Governor Brough.
 If current reports be true, the state officials will in some instances be confronted with the necessity of making choice among a large num- Der of friends and political support CTS who have been offered appoint ments, tentatively or positively several times more than there are places to fill. An offer of official

With every $3 cash pur- chase, the customer is given one piece of an elegant Apiece decorated china dinner set, and with every $1 pur- chase ticket is given which entities the holder to participate in the dis tribution of 40 useful presents, rang ing from $lOO Parry top buggy and three-piece set of furniture to a 5O- cent pair of suspenders, all of which will be given away about January 1.
 The sale begins September 9 and ends December 30.

preferment is easily made in the. heat of campaign, but unless the pledges are card indexed and careful ly scheduled, it sometimes proves rather more difficult to deliver the goods in every instance Which brings about a revision of the Beau titudes, to read,
 Blessed is the politician who does not promise more offices than he has, for he shall not be execrated by the many who receiveth not that for which they had labored."

FIRE STILL RACES
 AT BIG GAS WELL

Little Rock, Sept. "A telephone message from Fort Smith was re- ceived yesterday to the effect that the 24,0O0, ,000-foot gas well of the Clear Creek Co.,, which was set on fire by lightning Saturday, is still burning, and that it is defying all efforts to control it. The light of the fire can be seen at night for fifteen or twenty miles, and the roar ing can be heard for three or four miles.

AUTOMOBILES REDUCE
 HIGH COST OF FUNERALS

Little Rock, Sept. 7.-The automo- bile is bringing about radical charges in many old institutions. For ages the stately, slow-moving procession of hacks and carriages was consid- cred the only proper thing for . funeral. But even the funeral is feeling the effect of the automobile. It was announced in Little Rock last week that the price of hacks for funerals had been reduced from $5 to $3.50 each. This is a concession due to the gasoline competition, and the growing vogue of the automobile funeral.
