 OF ESSAY PRIZES

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, Jan. 14.-DeQueen and Prescott high schools won the two first prizes in the essay contest con- ducted by the Young Mems Christian Association as part of the observ- ance of good citizenship week, it was announced today by J. l.. Hunter, state secretary. All parts of the program were put over in a way far beyond the expectations of the com mittee, which was headed by Prof T. s. Staples of Conway.
 The school papers responded in a splendid way. A much larger num- Der of individual issues were submit ed and a very much larger number reported having observed the week in some form or other Churches clubs of various kinds and papers gave good time and space to the week program.
 The committee appointed by Supt. J. l.. Bond to pass upon the awards gave to Miss Eyer of the DeQueen high school the first place for the in- dividual essays, which was s25 in cash. This essay will appear in to- morrow's issue of the Arkansas Dem- ocrat. They gave to the Dynamo, is- sued by the Prescott high school, the award for the best school paper which was $10 in cash.
 All those interested in this pro- gram hope and believe it should be a permanent part of our school sched- ule. Already some valuable sugges- tions have come in for the benefit of a better observance next school year

 No doubt as to the outcome was in the mind of the audience after Bland had spoken first for the negative.

Arkansas Gazette, January 14.)
 The brutal murder of George w. Hopkins and his wife at their home near Marshall schoolhouse, Il miles southeast of Conway, Wednesday night, followed threats by Tom and Roy Johnson, father and son, against Hopkins in an effort to prevent his divulging certain information to the Faulkner county grand jury before which Hopkins was to have appear ed Thursday. This is the opinion of Charles Hopkins, 1O14 Rice street, brother of the slain man, who re turned last night from attending the funeral.
 MT. Hopkins said he reached this opinion after talking with residents of the neighborhood, where both the murdered couple and the Johnsons lived. It is well known, MT. Hop kins said, that the Johnsons have been engaged in the making of whiskey and it was for this reason, Mir. Hop kins believes, that they feared they would be incriminated by his broth CTS testimony. This also is the con- census of opinion in the community, MT. Hopkins said.
 Mir. Hopkins said that from in- formation gathered from Marion Wright, neighbor and others living in the neighborhood, he did not be- lieve the tragedy followed the friend y drinking party He said that Wright, who was at the Hopkins home when the Johnsons arrived, told him the Johnsons had been drinking, but that he did not see Hopkins take a drink
 "The visit of the Johnsons to my brothers home," MT. Hopkins said, was for some reason other than a friendly visit. While my brother was friendly with the Johnsons when they chanced to meet, 1 never knew them to exchange visits"
 Marion Wright, who witnessed part of the trouble between the slain cou- pie and the Johnsons, MT. Hopkins said, gave him practically the same account of the killing as was given to the Gazette's Conway correspond ent and published in Fridays Gazette
 Wright told me-" Mr. Hopkins said, that he called at my brothers about 8 o'clock Wednesday night and soon afterward the Johnsons arrived Wright said that after they had talk ed for several minutes, Tom Johnson began cursing and was ordered out of the house by my brother. Wright said that both the Johnson were out side and Tom Johnson picked up q stick and started back into the house His attempt to enter, according tc Wright, was blocked by Hopkins anc Tom was not allowed to enter unti he had thrown the stick away.
 Wright said he had not gone fa1 when he heard shots at the Hopkin, home. He started back to the house he said, and met Tom and Roy John son dragging Mrs. Hopkins by tn, hands. Mrs. Hopkins, wright said was pleading with them to spare hel life. a You've killed my husband, pleas,
