DONAGHEY’S
BIG MAJORTIY
EARLY ESTIMATES CONFIRMED
Majority for Donaghey Will Be
about 75,000.
Democratic Victory Eclipses all Previous
Records Socialists Also Make
Gains.
The complete returns front Mon
day's election which have been re
ceived up to the present time con
firm an early prediction that the
total vote cast in Monday’s elec
tion was larger than that cast two
years ago, and that the Democrat
ic majority would be at least as
large as that received by Governor
Little, says today’s Gazette.
Complete returns from sixteen
counties, official and unofficial,
give Donaghey 25,713 and Worth
ington 10,144, a plurality of 15,569
for Donaghey. These same eoun
ties in 1906 gave Little 22.779 and
Wortuington 9.4l«*. a plurality oi
13,31 r for Little.
If the remainder of the returns
show the same gains, the total
vote cast in Monday's election will
be found to be 175,000, as com
pared with 151,84s in 1906, and
IJonaghey’s plurality over Worth
ington will be nearly 75,000
Complete returns may decrease
these figures, but the indications
are that both the total vote cast
and the Democratic majority will
break all previous records.
Gain in Socialist Vote.
The full returns which have
been received show a marked in
crease in the vote for the Socialist
candidate for governor over that
of two years ago. If the present
gain is maintained in the counties
which have not yet reported, the
indications are that the Socialist
vote will be increased from 5,185,
the number of votes cast for Dan
Hogan for governor in 1906, to
more than 10,000.
Pounding the Preacher.
Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Hurt moved
into their new home on College
Avenue yesterday. Last night
about forty members of the Bap
tist Church and other friends sur
prised them by walking into the
house unheralded. Kach visitor
brought an armful of things from
the grocer, and deposited them in
the dining room and kitchen. Mr.
Hurt says that he was so much
surprised that he believes he forgot
to say “Thank you.” He wish
es the Log Cabin to convey to the
friends the heartfelt appreciation
of himself and Mrs. Hurt for the
many gifts and for the kindness of
heart which prompted them.

Former Conway Mao Gets iii More Votes

Little Rock, Sept. 18 —The of
ficial canvass of the Pulaski coun
ty returns, completed here today,
show that O. C. Ludwig leads the

ernor's race.

John I. Worthington 2,018, J. Sam
Jones 231. O. C. Ludwig, secre
tary of state, received 5,486, and

MOSQUITOES IN CANAL ZONE
How They Are Exterminated by
Scientific Methods.
Great Disseminators of Disease Are Ef
fectively Kept Down By Scientific
Methods.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
For the past four years the Unit
ed States Government at Panama
! has waged a war on those little
pestiferous 'skeeters. There are
\ more than fifty known species of
mosquitoes ou the Zone. Only two,
I however, are known tube danger -
ous, the Stegotnyia,which when in
oculated carry the yellow fever
germ, and the Anopheles, which
carry the malarial germ.
The Sanitary Department have
| a corps of well trained sanitary in
spectors who are making a study
j of the habits of these different spe
cies of mosquitoes. It has been
found out by study and watching
their habits, that they all have dif
fereut ways of breeding and live
i and feed in different places and
| under different conditions. Al
though only two or three species
are dangerous, the Sanitary De
partment has exterminated all spe
cies, for safety, by filling swamps,
cisterns, wells, and pulling down
j ami destroying all places where
any water might stand. Where
places could not be filled they were
drained, and when they could not
be drained they were covered with
oil. In the past four years thous
ands of barrels of crude oil have
j been used. The oil is put on the
water ior uie purpose oi Killing uie
“wigglers,” as we call them here.
They breed by the the thousands
in rain barrels or water troughs.
The theory of Panama is as fol
lows: All wigglers must come to
the surface of the water for air at
least once in two minutes, some
species ofteper, so if the surface of
the water is covered with oil when
the wiggler comes to the surface
for air, its “lungs” fill with A\
and kill it. On the Zone where
there are io feet of tain a year the
work of keeping places drained is
! stupendous, but it has been done.
At first there was great opposition
to the “mosquito theory” and
greater when the sanitary depart
ment came in and filled up cisterns
and took down water gutteis from
the houses Of course a splendid
system of water works had been
installed, but the people wanted
their cisterns as a reserve.
In Panama—a place where yel
low fever for centuries had had its
way—there is a smaller death rate
than in Memphis or Charleston, all
due to the excellent work of Col.
Gorgas and his department and
the financial backing of the United
States Government. The cleaning
of the Isthmus has cost millions,
but it has qtade an Isthmian Can
al possible.
In Conway there are many mos
quitoes. They breed in the ditch
J along the railroad, and in rain
| barrels. No dangerous species
| has yet been noticed—except those
I which cause us to lose our temper.
The presence of these are unneces
sary—if oi;r citizens would keep
their water retainers empty, there
by destroying the breeding places

ADVERTISING CONWAY.
As a means of advertising Con
way the State Normal School will
be worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars. As it is a state institution,
newspapers throughout Arkansas
freely devote much of their space
to articles concerning the Normal
and its advantageous location in
this city.
Another factor in advertising
Conway, we believe, is our Daily
Edition. A town enterprising
enough to support a daily paper
and to give it the prosperous ap
pearance that our paper has pre
sented during its first week, is
bound to attract attention.
An example of the value of both
the Normal and the Daily as ad
vertising factors is seen in the fol
lowing editorial taken from this
week's Russellville Courier-Demo
crat:

will be remembered that Comvay
was the successful bidder for the
location ol the State Normal
.School, lor which Russellville
made a noble effort. Conway has
been on a genuine boom since
securing the school and we doubt
if there is a contributor there who
has not already been convinced
that his donation was a good in
vestment. The Normal School is
now almost ready for occupancy,
dozens of residences have been
built in close proximity to it, sev

have been laid in the new addition
to the town, eight new business
