REV. GARROTT STIRS
 REVIVAL INTEREST

Rev. Dr. E. P. J. Carrots third evangelistic sermon, at the First Baptist church Wednesday night, was listened to by the largest congrega- tion so far this week. A growing in terest in these bible studies is ap- parent, and the pastor is making his talks as simple and as plain as pos sible in order that the people can readily grasp the beautiful truths of fered in Gods word.
 The simplicity of salvation, and through it eternal life, was emphasiz- ed, and the pastor sought earnestly to awaken non-believers to their danger of destruction while Christians are appealed to to get closer to God and to manifest in their daily living the strength of a consecrated life.
 ls. Garrott will tonight deliver another bible study sermon, and every one is cordially invited to be present. The series of meetings will close Fri day night, and Sunday will be devoted to all-day worship.

COSTS TOO HIGH FOR
 ROAD BUILDING NOW

Little Rock, Oct. 14.-No road con tracts are being awarded at this time There are few districts which have advertised for the letting of contracts, but on account of the increasing cost it is very unlikely that any new road work will be undertaken for some months to come. Many of the present projects will do well to be able to continue their work to completion. An analysis of the current prices of all material and labor entering into the cost of the roads, shows an increase in at least three-fourths of the items and a decrease in very small number For instance the one item of cement has more than doubled in the last F Much of this increase is due to the advance in freight rates, while other increases are not so easily eX- plained.

DEWITT DEFEATED
 BY CONWAY HIGH

The Dewitt high school eleven suf- fered their second defeat in two days yesterday, this time at the hands of the husky Conway high school lads, the score being Is to 0. The Dewitt boys had not sufficiently recovered from their rough game with the Bull pups the day before and the locals had a comparatively easy time de- feating them.
 The Conway team scored their first touchdown few minutes after the kickoff when Dewitt fumbled and Ma than Smith recovered the ball and raced to the five yard line. A couple of line bucks put the ball over Key holds kicked goal. The final score came in the third quatrer when the Dewitt line held their opponents on the 30-yard line for downs. Reynolds punted and Sullards, Dewitt quarter back, attempted to dodge the ball, al lowing 1t to roll out of bounds. The ball hit hom, however, and rolled be- hind the goal posts. A Conway play CT promptly covered it for the touch down. Conway failed to kick goal.
 Quarterback Sullards and Wicker, captain and left tackle for Dewitt, weer the individual stars for the vis- itors while Smith, Reynolds and "TeWee" Dickerson starred for the locals.

GOVERNOR WOULD
 STOP OUTLAWRY
ISSUES PROCLAMATION
Officers and Citizens Called Upon to Aid in Suppressing Nightriders
 and Gin Burners.

Little Rock, Oct 14.-Governor Brough will exercise his power in every way to prevent lawlessness and to break up the spirit of nightriding which is reported from several coun- ties. At one place it has been reported that signs have been posted, warning merchants not to buy cotton and gin ners not to run their gins and farmers not to sell, under penalty of being whipped for the first and second of lenses and suffering death for the third. In some localities these warn lngs have been the cause of consider able anxiety on the part of the better class of citizens, who condemn these efforts to incite violence and disre- gard to law
 The following proclamation was is sued by Governor Brough:
 Know Ye That Whereas. reliable information has been given the gov ernor that there is lawlessness in some of our counties. growing out of pre- valling low price of cotton and that this has already resulted in the burn ing of gins, congresses and farm hou- ses and the killing of night watchmen and the governor has appealed to for aid, and
 Whereas, such acts of violence and intimidation are calculated to cause an untold loss to our splendid farmers and business men, who are already bearing heavy burdens, by inducing tenants and farm hands not to pick the cotton in the field and not to gin and insure it and
 Whereas, incendiarism of this char acter might lead to a cancellation of insurance policies on cotton ware houses and is contrary to the sound policy of picking the cotton as rapidly as possible, having it ginned and placed in insured warehouses and is a direct blow at the sovereignty of the state and contrary to the ideals of all law-abiding citizens,
 Now, therefore. I, Charles H. Trough, governor of the state of Ark ansas by virtue of the power and au- thority vested in me under the consti- tuition and laws of said state and act ing in my official capacity do hereby and herein call upon the adjutant gen eral of the state, the sheriffs of all counties in which there has been, or is likely to be disturbances, the 142 pa triotic American Legion posts and all officers of the law and citizens inter ested in maintaining the majesty of the law,to use the full executive and military power at their command to suppress these nightriding outrages and to do everything within their pow CT to enforce the majesty of the law, to apprehend all offenders and to pro- mote the fair and stable marketing of our states premier agricultural product"

EVEN OWLS FORSAKE
 WATERLESS CONWAY

This is a true story (part of it .. Last spring, by some hook or crook Graydon Dodson and Troy Hill cap tured large swamp owl. Troy kept him quite a while training him, but one night he forgot and left him lariated out and MT. Owl somehow got away with the. lariat.
 Last night this same owl Cor anoth- er) lighted on the corner of my sleep ing porch roof and cried out two separate and distinct times, "Who are you.' Being awakened by his query arose quickly and turned on the light to make it more pleasant for him. The chicken roost was very near and very accessible, but I think he was in search of water. But find ing the Normal end of town very waterless he flew away to his swamp home singing, How dry I am"
