SENATOR COYINCTON
 FAYORS PROHIBITION
Former Wet" Leader in Arkansas Senate Says He Speaks from
 Experience.

Senator A. w. Covington of John son county, who while member of the Arkansas senate was regarded as one of the ablest and most effective al- lies of the liquor forces, has turned prohibitionist. Declaring that he spoke from experience, in speech at Spadra last week, he urged the work ingmen to vote against the proposed local option law. Senator Covington' s address is reported in the Clarksville Democrat as follows:
 Advocates of prohibition will be delighted to know that Senator A. w. Covington is strong in his opposition to the local option law that the whis- key interests are trying to palm off on the voters of Arkansas under the guise of good government. In his speech at Spadra on Labor day he showed in his inimitable way the evils of intemperance and the greed of the liquor trusts. He said that no one today wanted a drinking man in a place of responsibility. He declared that the liquor interests were the worst enemies that the laboring man has; that the miners of Arkansas had filled the saloon mems coffers with their earnings, but that when the min CTS got into trouble few months ago the liquor men of Arkansas would not go cent of their bond. He urged the United Mine Workers to vote against the local option measure. He men, toned the many evils effects of in temperance in our economic, social and political life, and said that during his law practice he had defended 26 per sons charged with homicide and that 23 of them were either under the in fluence of liquor or the victim of mur- der was under the influence of strong drink. The senator says that he speaks both from observation and experience. He is a brilliant speaker and his ut terances strike with deadly force the very heart of the argument for a sa- loon."

 SHOWS HIGH STANDARD
Prof. McHenry Makes Favorable Report After Examination of
 City Water.

A favorable report is again made by Prof. M. J. McHenry after his monthly analysis of the water fur nished by the municipal plant at Conway. Mr. McEIenry's report fol- lows:
 Conway, Ark, Sept. T., 1916. Supt. K. V. Leverett:
 Herewith is the report on the an alysis of the city water for Sep tember:

 Oxygen Consumption) Parts per million ------1.29 5.82 Alum ----------P Present
 Interpretation. The city water is up to standard again this month. The raw water is not highly contaminated and the filter seems to be working efficient ly. The presence of the alum may be expected occasionally, but should not occur in large amounts. The water plant has stood the hot months, well. Respectfully, M. J. McHenrY.
