WANT ADVANCE
 COPIES OF QUESTIONS
Superintendent Cook Receives More Requests for Advance Copies Questions for Teachers Examination.

Little Rock, March 10-Tlere are still some people in the state who think they can secure advance copies of the teachers examination ques- tions. State Superintendent George B. Cook has received three requests for him to violate the law by sending out these questions in advance, one of them being from a minister. The last one comes from a former member Of the Legislature, who is engaged in teaching. Supt. Cook sent him the following reply:
 'I regret very much to be in re ceipt of your letter of the Sth inst, and sincerely trust that I may pos sibly be mistaken as to the nature of your request. In your letter you say you 'are in a position to favor me, and if I pledge myself to you that it will be strictly confidential. Please send me the March, 1916, examination questions"
 "This examination will be held the 16th and 17th of March After the examination is over, copies of the questions that have been used may bc consistently mailed out, but surely you do not expect to receive these questions in advance of the legal and authorized time nor to be a party to an examination fraud. The examina- tion questions are always handled with the utmost care and it is not possible for any teacher to secure ar unfair advantage in an examination from this Department.
 'I wish to assure you that youi friendship and good will in the pas is highly appreciated and l sincerely trust that there is some mistake il the assumption that you would, ever if you could, secure the same or at tempt to have the advantage of tn examinations in advance of the lega time"

SHARP ADVANCE IN
 THE COTTON MARKET
Prices Make Steady Climb. and Close is 21-2S Points Up Best Prices of Day Reached in Late Trading.

New York, March 9.-There was a very sharp advance in the cotton mar ket here today. with May contracts selling up to ll.95c, or 29 points above last nights final figures, and closing at 11.S9c. The general list closed very steady at a net gain of 2l to 2S points for the day.
 Liverpool was hardly up to eXpec- tations and the market here opened at decline of point on March, but other months were 1 to 9 points high CT. and active positions quickly sold 9 to 12 points above last nights clos ing figures, on covering and scatter ing support.
 There was quite a lot of May and July for sale at the advance but re- actions of or points were followed by renewed firmness and the demand became more active during the after noon.
 The best prices of the day were reached in late trading, when July sold at 12.13c, and October at 12.2Sc, and when the general list showed net gains of from 27 to 29 points.
 There was enough realizing to cause reactions of 8 or points on the more active positions during the last few minutes. Some traders were in- clined to attribute the advance chiefly
 
 to covering by recent Wall street sell

Little Rock, March 10.-Nearly two hundred miles of the proposed lief ferson Highway through the Western border counties of the state has been practically provided for in plans that are under way in the various counties The roads are to be built independ- entity in each county.

ROOSEVELT WON'T
 SEEK NOMINATION
Mistake to Name Him for the Presidency Unless the Nation
 is in Heroic Mood, He Says in
 Statement From West Indies.

New York. March 9-Col. Theodore Doosevelt, who is at Trinidad, British West Indies, in statement given out today through the Evening Mail, em- phatically declines to be candidate in the primaries of Massachusetts or of any other state.
 "T will not enter into any fight for the nomination. the colonel says. Tndeed 1 will go further and say that it would be mistake to nominate me unless the country has in it's mood something of the heroic; unless it feels like not only devoting itself to ideals, but to the purpose measurably to realize those ideals in America.
 "This is one of those rare times which come only at long intervals in a nations history, when the action taken determines the life of the gen erations that follow. Such were the days of Washington and of Lincoln.
 Tt is for us today to grapple with the tremendous national and interna- tioral problems of our own hour in the spirit and with the ability shown hv those who upheld the hands of Lincoln and Washington.
 "Whether We do or do not accom- plish this feat will largely depend on the action taken at the Republican and Progressive national conventions next June. Nothing is to be hoped for from the present administration All that they offer us is q choice between degrees of hypocrisy and degrees of infamy.'
