CITY PRIMARY IS
 SET FOR MARCH {
RUN-OFF A WEEK LAYER
CITY COM MITTEE ADOPTS RULES OF TWO YEARS AGO
 FOR ELECTION.
rrom Tuesdays Daily.

from Tuesdays Daily.
 Adopting the same rules as were formulated two years ago, the City Democratic Central Committee last night formally called the municipal primary election, fixing it's date for Tuesday, March ', and providing for a run-of or second primary to be held one week later, Tuesday, March 15. for all offices where the candidates receiving the highest number of votes fail to obtain a majority of all the votes at the first primary.
 Eight of the nine committeeman were in attendance at the meeting and the vote upon all questions con- ing before the committee was unani- nous. The committee organized by the reelection of J. H. Bailey as chairman and V. D. Hill as secretary and treasurer.
 It was decided to close the ticket lat p. m. on February 26, and the following fees were agreed upon, to be paid by candidates to the treas urer before the ticket is closed, in order that their names may appear on the printed ballots; Mayor, $5; marshal, $5; recorder, $5; treasurer and aldermen, $1 each. This, it is estimated, will produce sufficient funds to pay the officers of the elec- tion $1 each and the other necessary expenses of holding the primary.
 The committee adjourned to meet again on February 28, at which time the judges and clerks of the election will be appointed
 Provision for a second primary or run-off was made by the committee two years ago for the first time in the history of municipal politics here. The second primary, however, was not held, as all of the successful can- didates received majority at the first election except the one receiving the highest vote for marshal, and his nearest opponent withdrew before the time set for the second primary.
 Less interest is being manifested in city politics than for many years and so far there have been very few announcements for any of the clty positions. Mayor Frank Jones has indicated to his friends that he does not desire a second term, but has not vet made a formal statement declin- ing to run. Among others who have been mentioned as a probable candl- dates or who have stated that they expect to enter the race for mayor are Judge E. M. Merriman, Judge w. H. Duncan, Rev. J. c. Dawson, R. B. McCulloch and w. T. Wilson.
 Among the probable candidates for marshal are w. Fl. Canada, the pres- ent marshal, J. R. Piercey, J. l.. Me- Neese and J. M. Adams.
 For recorder George Shaw, Jr., will be a candidate for second term and it is not thought probable that he will have opposition.
 The salary of treasurer has been reduced from $50 to $1O per year. and so far there have been no an- nouncements for this position.
 Nearly all of the present aldermen have stated that they do not expect to become candidates for their posi- tions again, and it is probable that there will be several new faces in the council after the next election. Numerous suggestions of candidates from each of the three wards have been made, but as yet there have been few definite announcements.

 The year following their marriage, in 1858. Mr. and Mrs. Moore, follow ing the course of many pioneer spir its of that day, came to Arkansas to make their home. The trip, made be- fore the days of railroads and through a sparsely-settled territory, was at tended with many difficulties and eX citing experiences. The couple set tied in what was then Conway coun- t. near the present site Of Enders, Faulkner county. Living there only two or three years, they removed to a place seven miles north of Quit man. in Van Buren county, where l they entered upon a piece of govern { ment land as a homestead 1t proved to be a homestead in truth, for here the couple resided for more than half a century, leaving the old home only about five years ago, and for the past year they have made their home with their daughter in this city.
 Mr. Moore enlisted in the Confed- crate army at the outbreak of the civil war, and served faithfully dur ing the four long years of that strug- gle. He was a member of Col. New tons regiment.

The minds of both are keen and clear and they keep well posted upon the events of the day. Mrs. Moore is a great reader and spends much of her time with her books and papers. Af- ter using glasses for many years, her second sight has been given her and she now reads anaided the finest print.

CONSTRUCTION WORK ON
FOR THE SOUTHEAST NOW

COLUMBUS, Ga, July 27.-The In
dustrial Index says in it's issues fol
this week:
The great amount of construction
v ork that is in progress and planned
in the Southeast is emphasized by the
large number OF important contracts
that are being awarded. New plans for
building are being announced con-
stantly, and the indications are that il
a construction way the Southeast will
be buster even in the last half of the
year than it was in the first.
"A notable feature of industrial con-
ditions is the great variety of enter
prises represented by the new manu-
featuring plants and that are being
established. Some of them will utilize
resources of this section that hereto
fore have been neglected entirely.
The fact that a new era of progress
and prosperity is beginning in this
section is becoming more and more
apparent. Developments that not
many months ago would have caused
comment now are regarded as a mat
ter of course-and such they have be-
come. The Southeast is manufactur-
ing more, it is building more and it is
growing and raising many things that
UP to short time ago it purchased in
other sections.
"A total of nineteen new corpora
tions were formed during the week

WILL RESUME CONFERENCES.

President Wilson will again resume
his conferences with newspaper men,
This practice or rather custom was
abandoned about year ago. The why
o. this was best known to the President
himself Now that he is a candidate
for reelection he has doubtless decided
it is best to have the confidence and
consideration of the newspaper boys.
Again, it is very probable that ne
has decided that it is the better part OF
wisdom through the newspapers to
take the public into his confidence and
acquaint the people with the policies Of
his administration, and its plans for
the future.
How far he will turn the White
House into a publicity bureau as did
some of his predecessors remains to De
cen. 1t is safe to say however that the
public will be kept informed as 10
what is going on. These conferences
are to be held once week Rather
long time between drinks for the pen
Gil pushers, but they may be depended
upon to get lots of things for the read
ing public on the side.
The general opinion prevails that the
reason the President abandoned the
weekly conferences was because of the
Mexican situation as well as that of
Europe, and now that the crisis has
been reached so far as Mexico is con-
cerned, and a general understanding
OF the various other conditions, there
is no longer any reason for withhold
ing news items from the newspapers.
The concensus of opinion is that the
President was wrong in his position
and the public will be glad to know
that he has made up his mind to again
take them into his confidence.

THE MODEL CHURCH.

DR.. A. R. Holderby, of Atlanta, a
Presbyterian minister, preached a
sermon at East Point last Sunday up
on the subject, "A Model Church" We
have read this sermon. 1t was a good
one, AS we read we thought, and as
we thought clearer vision came to
US of the meaning of model churcn,
and what such church means to hu-
manity, that is a true model church
such as Dr. Holderby described. In
part he said:
when measured by the Divine
standard there is not a model churcn
on earth, but when measured by the
human standard there may be many.
"The church that can make a grand
stand play with wealthy member
ship, an eloquent preacher artistic
music and social standing of its mem
bers is model church, according tc
the measure of the world.
"The real model church, however, Is
the one working only for the glory
of God. 1t is church in which the
rich and poor alike meet together UP.
on the same level 1t is the church
that declares the whole counsel Of
God, and is not afraid of wounding the
feelings of the rich. It is the church
that stands as constant rebuke t.
all evil and is filled with the spirit o
Christ
"The model church will stand fol
the world peace and will make impos
sible all future bloodshed and wars
will bow only to the one King-Jesu.

ing, and it will Eli the earth with it,

infantile paralysis isolate the patient
place a competent person in charge
and reduce all communication with the
sick room to a minimum. Hospital
care is preferable not only for the
child, but in order to better safeguard
against the spread Of the disease. The
sick room should be well ventilated
and screened. Nasal and mouth secre-
tions should be received in cloths
place in a paper bag and burned. The
clothing of the child, the bed linen
and the excretions should be disin-
fected in the same manner as for ty-
phoid fever, that is by boiling, the long
continued application of 5K9o carbolic.
or other well recognized disinfectant,
The same is true for dishes and drink
iEg vessels. Nurses should exercise
the same precautions as regards
cleanliness of hands in caring for in
fantile paralysis patients as for those
afflicted with other infectious dis
eases.
A child may convey the disease to
others even after lapse of several
weeks. For this reason quarantine
should be maintained for a considera-
BILE period, usually from six to eight
v eeks, and the above precautions
should be adhered to during this time.
