TEST WAS DELAYED
 AT HALE THIS WEEK
Packer and Liner Lost in We'll Call- ing for Fishing Job, Which Was
 Successful.

A little fishing job at the Hale No. 1 test this week has delayed the com pletion of the test, which otherwise would have been completed this week. When the new packer and liner was placed in the we'll Tuesday afternoon the rock in thel walls of the well sheared off the rivets holding the packer causing it to become separ- ated from the line of casing. Fishing tools were procured after some delay when the fishing job was quickly completed. The liner was found to be damaged to the extent of having the cover stripped off. It had to be returned to the shops for repairs. It is expected to arrive back Friday when the test will proceed. It is hard ly probable that it will be completed this week, The showing is still very flatering, especially the gas.

RECORD.B BREAKING
 TRADING IN COTTON
Wall Street Is AstOnished at Small Amount of Southern Selling;
 Hits 2OO.POint Limit

New York, Sept. 6,--Post trading in cotton today exceeded anything on the Exchange for long time Under the rules of the Exchange no stock can rise or fall more than 200 points in one days trading and cotton hit the Hotpoint limit at the tap of the bell Without restrictions, it is diff ficult to estimate where it would have gone, but traders who have been bears on cotton for months, are now enthu- siastic bulls.
 Under the most urgent kind of buy ing for the account of large operators who have been heavily short of mar ket for the last month or more, va rious options rose from 142 to 192 points This equals from $750 to $9.60 bale,
 Bear operators have been in se- rious predicament since the Septem- Der 1 government report that the con- dition was only 41.3 per cent of nor- nal. It was the poorest statement in the present generation and a declne of 15.4 per cent from the previous month. It was 1894 per cent below the 1O-year average
 At the time of the issuance of the report, less than a week ago, cotton was selling under 16 cents per pound, This morning the July option sold at 20 cents a pound, against a gain of more than $20 bale.
 Bear operators have been laying stress on the fact that Southern grow CTS were in sore financial straits 1; that the banks throughout the South were the real owners of the cotton crop, and that on any rise in the mar- ket these Southern bankers would inn mediately liquidate their losses. Wall Streets astonishment is that there has been little Southern selling.

DEMAND OF MRS.
 CONNER IS REFUSED
Pen Board Declines to Discharge Four Officials at State Farm; I'm.
 prOvementS Planned.

Little Rock, Sept. "A demand by Mrs. Laura Conner of Augusta, mem- Der of the Penitent1ary Commission, that four officials be discharged from the state convict farm at Tucker was rejected at the meeting of the com mission yesterday.
 This information was furnished by Mrs, Conner last night. She said that the majority members of the board said that her request was i'm tpractical." Mrs. Conner said that she had made five reports on conditions at the state convict farms and that this was the first one to which the members had paid any attention. The four whose resignation Mrs. IIConner demanded were Dee Horton, head warden at the Tucker farm Wardens Munson and Flannery and Dr. Trustworthy, physician at the farm.
 l The board also refused to employ
  Mrs, Conner, on the ground that it is financially impossible, The' men members said that they did not con- sider the employment of a superin- tendent necessary since in discharg- Ting their duties as members of the board they collectively fill the place of a superintendent. A good man could not be employed for less than $3,000, they said.
 : Mrs. Conner said that she felt the necessity for a superintendent so that there might be fixing of responsi- bility for the way in which the con- vii { farms are conducted.
 Improvements Decided Upon.
 Ind commissioners decided to ad- vertise for bids immediately for the installation of water and sewer sys- tems at the Tucker and Cummins state farms, It is proposed for the pres ent to install systems which later may be increased to fit growing needs but the present plants will be kept within the means of the penitentiary
 The shower baths now at the Tucker farm will be increased and shower baths will be placed in the stockades at Cummins.
 The board also issued paroles to sev- eral convicts, and approved the pay Trolls and vouchers for the past month. Today the commissioners will make up their lists of needed supplies preliminary to advertising for bids.

State Normal Offers
 Teachers Opportunity

| Conway, Sept. 6.-(Special, "A cordial invitation to schools of the state to take advantage of opportuni- ties offered at the Arkansas State | Normal School for study and develop ment, is extended by B. w. Torreyson president of the institution. Teachers are invited to come to the school for any length of time or to have re- course to the correspondence depart ment, which places the services of the entire faculty at their disposal. The invitation of the State Normal to the teachers is as follows: 'The State of Arkansas has estab- lished the State Normal College at Conway for the single purpose of pre- pairing competent teachers for it's schools, To this end it has erected and equipped splendid school build ings and has employed highly train ed faculty, each member an expert in his department. The school is now prepared to train teachers for every phase of public school work.
 l You are invited to take advantage of the opportunities it offers, either l by correspondence or in residence, for any length of time, no matter how short. Since the purpose of the school is to serve the teachers, you are also | invited to write to us at any time about any matter of school manage ment or practice.
 Under the school law, the coun- ty superintendent is authorized to grant scholarships, which carry free tuition to citizens of the state over the age of 16 years and who have completed the common school course. Any of the superintendents will take pleasure in making these appoint ments on application"
 AS the state Normal hopes this plan will work, teacher having week s vacation for example would come to Conway and spend the time at the school where full opportunity would be given for use of the library and consultation with as many members of the faculty as wished, Peculiar problems arising in the classroom could be submitted to the faculty foi solution, and the visiting teacher brought into touch with approved methods. MT. Torreyson expressed the hope that in this way valuable assistance can be rendered to the profession and the Normal given its chance to more widely serve the com mon schools.
 Courses by correspondence are op en the year round at the Norma school. This is also the department through which teachers wishing more limited study can secure the counse and assistance of the faculty.
