SOME INTERESTING
FEATURES IN NEW
REGISTRATION LAW
Good for Four Years If
Vote is Cast at Each Election

This is a reminder of the new cleo
ton law, requiring registration of
every voter, in the rural districts as
well as in the cities, before he is al
lowed to vote. Another new feature
of the election law is that registra-
ton is required only once in four
years, except where a change of resi-
dence occurs during that period, or
the person registered fails to vote at
any election of any kind, in which case
he forfeits his right to vote again I'M
til he has re-registered. The registra-
ton books will be open at all times
except during twenty days before
general elections and ten days before
primaries. A re-registration in case
of transfer of residence from one
precinct to another may, however, be
entered on any day except the actual
election days. After each election
the registration officials strike from
the poll lists the names of all regis
tered persons who failed to vote, and
their registration is declared void.
If the person applying to register
is of foreign birth he must produce
satisfactory evidence of his having
been naturalized In this connection
County Auditor Mae Weatherbee
states that there are known instances
in the county where persons of for
eign birth have voted for several
years without having taken out more
than their first papers, and the same
people have served on juries. The
auditor is issuing a circular letter to
the county registration officers warn
ing them to be careful as to this ma
ture of the law and not to permit
any foreign born person to register
until proof of issuance of his final
papers is Forthcoming.
ABSENTEE VOTING
Another interesting feature of the
new law Is IlldI Which, peIul1lS tItC-
tors absent from their resident pre-
cincts to vote at some other precinct
in the state. This is permissible in
voting for federal, United States SEN
atorial and congressional, state and
legislative Officers only. The method
prescribes that the intending voter
shall procure from the registration
official of his home precinct a certifi-
cate that he is a duly accredited vot-
er Of such precinct, he files an affi-
davit to the effect that his home pre-
cinct is in a different county and
more than Is miles distant from the
point where he wants to vote, and
that he is unable to reach his home
in time to vote. Thereupon the cleo
ton officials accept his vote, record
ed on specially prepared absent Vot-
ers' Ballot" and his ballot is forward
ed to the auditor of his home county
where it is counted in the same as if
originally it had been deposited there

DOCTORS FAVOR
 COUNTY HOSPITAL MEETING NEXT THURSDAY To Be Held to Discuss Plans for
 Erecting County Institution
 Through Special Tax.

The building of a county hospital through special county tax will be recommended by committee of the County Medical Society, which held a meeting and discussed the matter yesterday afternoon. The commit tee is composed of Doctors H. E. Cureton, J. s. Westerfeld and G. D. Huddleston. The society will meet next Thursday at o'clock and the hospital committee decided to invite everyone interested in the enterprise, especially the business men and clubwomen of Conway, to meet with them and hear their report.
 The doctors who have been consid- erng the matter state it is their be- lief that a modern brick 20-room hospital can be built out of the proceeds of a two-mill tax, which would pay it out in three or four years and that afterwards it could be maintained on a tax of about one mill. Such a tax would have to be authorized by special act of the leg islature, it is stated.
 Several architects and contractors have agreed to submit plans for the building free of charge. The com- mittee, however, is not planning to take any further steps at present than to direct the thought of the people to the need of such an insti- tuition and if public sentiment seems to demand it, they will be willing to do all they can to promote the hos pital. Under present conditions there are always from two to doz- en Faulkner county people being treated in Little Rock hospitals and there are numerous others who re- quire hospital treatment but are financially unable to receive it. Lives are lost every year, the doc tors believe, for the reason that the patiens can not be given the treat ment that they could have in a we'll equipped hospital.
 Everyone interested is cordially invited to be present at the meeting next Thursday afternoon, which will be held in the Masonic hall

COTTON HIGHER:
 LIKEWISE SEED

Cotton and cottonseed are again both higher on the Conway market today. A bullish feeling has evil dently inspired local cotton buyers, as they disregarded a net loss of 13 points in futures today and are paying 20 points or $l bale above yesterdays price for street cotton, which is bringing 15.40 cents a pound. Receipts are rather heavy today, and practically none is being held.
 Seed have been unsettled and higher today. The prevailing price this afternoon seemed to be $44.50 per ton, against $44 yesterday, but loads were sold at $44.75, $44.85 and as high as $45 per ton. It was re- ported on the streets that one buyer had paid SAT per ton for load, but this report could not be confirmed and is probably incorrect.

SUGGESTS RAGING
 FOR SCHOOL FAIR
WOULD ADD TO INTEREST
Writes Dr. Watson of Mt. Vernon. Who Urges Entries be Limited to
 Faulkner County Horses.

Four horse races, to be limited to Faulkner county stock, are urged by pr. Thos. c. Watson of Mt. Vernon, in letter to the Log Cabin Demo- crat as an added attraction to the school and civic fair and carnival to be held at Conway October l9 and 20. The expense of such races would be light, Dr. Watson states, and believes it would bring from 1,50O to 2,OOO more people here on that day. Dr.. Watson's letter follows:
 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l see by the last issue of your pa- per that you contemplate big "doin' s" October 19 and 20 down there. want to suggest to the Business Mems League or Board of Trade eff you have such an organization that you have some harness horse races during the two days. The track can be fixed for $5 or $l0, and as to purses, I am not looking to that end of it. I'll race my stock free to the public, or I'll leave Harry Dictator out entirely, if it would keep any one from enter ing, or they could leave all horses out that have ever appeared on the track for purse. However, there are own CTS of stallons in Faulkner county that claim they can beat me.
 l think free racing to the public will draw 1,500 or 2,000 more people there than would come otherwise, for l think everybody enjoys good horse race and Conway could afford to give $100 for four races, two each day, about as follows; Three years old and under, trot or pace, $25; over three years, trot or pace, $25; free for-all trot, any age, $25; free-for-all pace, any age, $25, all to be limited to Faulkner county horses that have never appeared on the track for purse. T his would bar Harry Dicta- tor, except he is open for challenge any time by any Faulkner county horse. think these small purses

NEAR
 THE FROST POINT

The temperature was uncomfor- tably close to the frost point this morning, the government thermom- eter at Conway registered AZ de- grees, only 10 degrees above freez- ing and lowest since early spring. Frost, the authorities state, some times occurs on very still nights with minimum temperature as high as 40 degrees, so that there was but little margin against frost here last night. Whether or not an early frost would seriously damage cotton in this county is a disputed question, but all over the county, except where the boil weevil pre- vails, cotton has been blooming rap idly since the rains, and there is possibility that the blooms would mature into bolls under the most favorable conditions Under such conditions the shortage in cotton would be considerably lessened.
