"ROlLlNG STONES"

Edgar Selwyn's new comedy OF ad-
venture, Rolling Stones" with Charles
ttuggies, featured III his original role

De presented by Selwyn & Co., at the

beginning Monday, March ~, with mat
lnees, W edneSday and Saturday, direct
from its run oi % weeks on broadway,
at the Harris Theatre, New YORK, ana
an equally successful and long run AT
the Park Square Theatre, Boston.
Rolling Stones has every element
that snoulu go into a comedy which
means brilliant lines, quick action, hu-
NOR of situation and character, a shade
OF pathos quickly lost again in laugh
ter, and little deXterously sugar
caked psychology. Edgar Selwyn is the
author OF The Country Boy and
Nearly Married." and even in view vi
those two achievements, the metropoll-
tan critics claimed for Rolling Stones
that in it he had touched his highest
point of authorship.
There are two lads about whom the
story centers, one of whom has become
so exasperated by his persistent ILL
luck that he takes a gun out onto Clark
street bridge, in Chicago, and~holds up
the first man he meets Tor the price
OF his supper. The victim gazes down
the nazzle of the pistol for an Instant
and then laughs, he, too, had come TO
the Clark street bridge to jump of II
into Kingdom Come, because he had
neither the price of supper nor any
mortal way of getting 1t.
Out of this extraordinary meeting
the lads make compact of fast friend
ship.

CONWAY EXCHANGE
GAINS 67 PHONES

In spite of the fact that 1915 was
"a year of general business depres-
SION, the Bell telephone exchange at
Conway gained 81 subscribers during
the period from April l, 1915, to Jan
uary l, 1916 The new directory.
which has just been distributed by
Manager G. w. Sammons contains
the names of 49G subscribers. The
last preceding directory, issued in
April, 1915, listed 429 phones. A
rapidly growing department OF the
local exchange is the rural lines,
which now extend in practically every
direction from Conway, running from
four to Is miles.
The new directory is one of the
neatest and most accurate ever issued
here and was printed in the office of
the Conway Printing Company.
Manager Sammons said the general
office at st. Louis called him over
long-distance upon receipt of copies
of the directory and congratulated
him upon its appearance.

DANIEL MAY WORK
COUNTY PRISONERS
ON PAlARM PLANTATION
NEGOTIATIONS ON BETWEEN
HIM AND FAULKNER
COUNTY JUDGE.

Negotiations are in progress be
tween County Judge J. ". Holt and
T. l.. Daniel, the Palarm planter
looking to contract for working the
Faulkner county prisoners on the
plantation of Mr.. Daniel. The latter
is also negotiating with Conway coun-
ty officials and states that if he can
make satisfactory contracts he will
construct stockade and make ar
rangements to work the prisoners of
both counties.
Under the present system the coun-
ty has no means of working the pris-
oners who are committed to Jail by
justices of the peace in default of the
payment of fines and costs. There is
not a sufficient number of them to
justify the employment of guards to
work them on the roads and the pris-
oners are confined in Jail until their
fines and costs are discharged at the
rate of rs cents per day. Neither the
county nor the township officers are
able to collect anything from these
prisoners and the county is put to an
expense of rs cents per day for feed
ing each prisoner There are seven
such prisoners in Jail now.
Under the terms of the county con
vict leases the contractor usually
agrees to pay in cash the costs of
each conviction and to feed and main
tain the prisoners while their fines
are being worked out.

IRON MOUNTAIN AID
FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS

Little Rock, J9 I. 29.-The flood sit
uation along the principal rivers of
the state is momentarily becoming
more serious. Some authorities pre-
dict that the flood will be the great
est in 25 years. The needs of various
places are being brought to the at
tention of the governor and other of
licials. Governor Hays yesterday re-
ceived the following telegram from
Vice President Alex Robertson of the
Iron Mountain:
1T is with deep regret we learn of
the serious trouble the people OF
southeastern Arkansas are having on
account of flood damages, causing
suffering and distress to them. This
is to advise that the Iron Mountain
railway will heartily cooperate in
every particular. Our officers in Ar
kansas have been advised to commu-
nicate with proper authorities and
render every possible assistance. If
there is anything Mr.. Bush or | can
do kindly advise and we will respond
promptly"

ACTION OF HIGGINS
SURPRISES FRIENDS
QUITS SFCRETARY'S RACE
CONWAY MAN WITHDRAWS ON
ACCOUNT OF ILL HEALTH
IN FAMILY.

Conway friends of James B. Hig-
gins were surprised to read in the
Little Rock morning paper today an
announcement of his withdrawal
from the race for secretary of state
1T was known that on account of the
critical illness of his father and his
own ill health Mr.. Higgins had been
unable to prosecute his campaign Wig
orously for several weeks, but the
news OF his withdrawal came as quite
surprise, as his friends here felt
that he had good chance to win the
race.
The withdrawal leaves the race be-
tween T. j. Terral, secretary of the
Arkansas senate in 1915, and Virgil
A. Beeson of Morrilton, representa-
tive of Conway county in the legisla-
ture of 1915. Both are popular young
men who have many friends here and
both are conducting an aggressive
campaign. Their race will be watch
ed with interest.
Mr.. Higgins letter of withdrawal
is as follows:
Owing to the fact that have been
forced by the sickness of myself and
father to lose time from the cam
paign, have decided to withdraw
from the race for secretary of state
| am not physically or financially able
to make the kind of a race | believe
will be necessary to win. | wish to
return my thanks to my many friends
for their offers of support and | re-
gret that it becomes necessary for me
to take this step"

q FEET Al LITTLE
ROCK Is PREDICTED
LEYEFS ARE THREATENED
RIVER PLANTERS UNEASY AS
RECORD HIGH WATER is
APPROACHING.

Continued heavy rains last night
and yesterday caused Section Direc-
tor H. S. Cole to add one foot to the
2'-foot stage he predicted yesterday
for the Arkansas river, and in special
warning telegraphed to all points
along the river today he predicts a
stage of nearly 28 feet at Little Rock
by Monday morning. The flood warn
ing wired here says:
Arkansas will crest at 2S feet at
Dardanelle tonight, will reach nearly
2S feet at Little Rock Monday morn
ing and nearly 80 feet at Pine Bluff
Wednesday or Thursday"
A stage of % feet at Little Rock
would break all records since June
13, 1877, when 29.1 feet was recorded
at the capital city. In 1892 the river
lacked only one-tenth of reaching a
2Sfoot stage at Little Rock, in 1898
a stage of 275 and in 1904 a stage
of 27.8 feet were recorded, but the
river has not registered % feet dur
ing period of nearly 80 years.
Faulkner county planters are un-
easy, fearing that the levees will not
Withstand the highest water since
the dikes were constructed.
The river this morning had risen
only . foot at Fort Smith and it is
believed that there will be but little
additional rise for the present at that
point The rainfall at Fort Smith
was light and throughout the greater
part of Oklahoma and Kansas the
streams are frozen over from the cold
wave in that section.
In Arkansas, however, the rainfall
has been heavy and all the smaller
streams are already overhowing. At
Dardanelle at o'clock this morning
the river guage registered 27.5 feet,
a rise Of 2.3 feet in "a hours, and the
rainfall at that point was rs inch.
At Bigelow the stage was PSI feet, a
rise of "a feet, with rainfall amount
ing to LIP inches. At Little Rock the
stage was "a feet, rise of IA feet,
with AZ inches OF rainfall. The
rainfall at Conway from noon yester-
day to noon today was 80 inch.
Traffic between Conway and points
north of the Cadron was stopped by
the high waters today and it will
probably be the middle of next week
before it can be restored. The mail
came through from Bee Branch and
Quitman last night, both crossing at
the Terry bridge, but the water was
three feet deep at some points in the
bottom. Today the carriers left as
usual but were turned back by the
high water and returned to Conway
this afternoon.
f. II. Fuller, as, a travelling sales
man, was drowned in the upper por-
ton of Cadron creek, near Bee
