' OFFICIAL VOTE
OF FAULKNER
DONAGHEY'S PLURALITY 1979
County’s Vote, 3568, was Larg
est Ever Polled.
Against License aud Sale of Wine and For
Road Tax and No. g Overwhelm
ingly Carried.
At noon today the election com
missioners had completed the tab
ulation of the vote in Faulkner
county on the governor's race,
county officers and the various
propositions at the bottom of the
ticket.
The total vote in the county,
3568, was the largest ever polled,
and Mr. Donaghey’s plurality of
1979 over his Republican opponent
was the largest ever given a Demo
cratic nominee for governor.
The official canvass develops the
fact that the scratching of J. A.
Lea, Democratic nominee for conn
judge, was not as great as first re
ported, although he ran nearly 400
behind the ticket. Treasurer J. R.
Giddens’ vote was the largest,
while Sheriff W. M. Brady led the
ticket of those having opposition.
On the basis fixed by the last
Democratic state convention,
^Faulkner county will have 16
^delegates in the next convention.
I Against license carried by a
vote of almost five to one, the ma
jority being 1849. The sale of
wine was forbidden by a majority
almost equally as large, being
1602. The road tax was voted al
most four to one, the majority be
ing 1707. Amendment No. 9 car
ried by 1979 majority, while No.
ro was defeated two to one.
The vote on state and district
offices will be published Monday.

LEGISLATURE
DEMOCRATIC
Little Rock, September 18.—
From the present indications, the
next General Assembly will be
a bit more Democratic than the
the last one, but upon the result in
Sebastian county depends the rep
resentation in the Senate.
O. 11. Sumpter has been defeat
ed for the senate in Garland and j
Montgomery counties by C. D.
Greeves, Republican; and Tom j
Holes has a fighting chance to de- i
feat John II. Holland in Sebastian
county. In both cases internal
Democratic dissension is the cause j
for the heavy Democratic loss, j
Judge Sumpter was a member of I
the old Democratic ring in Gar- i
land county, and this split the
vote there. He is a very close
friend of Governor Pindall and the I
chief executive did all in his
power to assist him, to no avail.
Judge Sumpter was able to carry;
his home county but Montgomery 1
county went for Greaves, who;
was a number of times Republican
candidate for governor. Tom
Holes is a young Republican, and i
the indictment of Senator Holland
for perjury in conneciton with
boodling cases caused hundreds of
Democrats in Sebastian county to
turn against him.
The Democrats will control the
lower house more than ever, 1
there now being only two Republi
cans there, one of the three, Rep.
Skaggs of Fulton county, being de
feated.
The temperance workers may
upset some of the calculations of
the wise ones, however, through
contests they intend to bring all
over the state. They are raising ;
$10,000 for this work and have re
ceived many large contributions
already Fulton county will be;
one of the first contested.
Missjosie Howard arrived this
morning from Cabot and will enter
the Normal school Monday.

ENROLLMENT
REACHES 130
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦
The enrollment at Hendrix Col
lege has reached 130, according to
a statement made by President
Anderson last night. “This is
a few less than last year at
the same time,’’ said the president,
“but there are two or three facts
in this connection that makes the
prospects decidedly better. In the
first place, the lowest classes of the
academy have been abolished and
this has forced me to deny admis
sion to 15 or 20 boys who desired
to enter these classes. Again,
there are a considerable number of
students in the city who have de
layed their matriculation, and in
addition to this there is a large
number of students who are teach
ing summer schools and who will
enter within the next two or three
weeks.
“We have a decidedly larger
number of students in the college
proper,” continued President An
derson,“and fewer in the academy.
Every member of last year’s junior
class has returned and the senior
class is composed of ten members,
a larger number than for several
years."

ANCIENT LAND DEEDS FILED
Patents for Land Issued by
James Monroe
_
Filed for Record with Recorder Ledbetter
to Clear Title to Faulkner County
Property.
Some ancient conveyances of
real estate have just been filed
with Recorder A. M. Ledbetter at
the court house.
They consist of copies of five
United States patents to Faulkner
county land and were filed lor rec
ord by Bahtier & Co. to provide
the first link in the chain of title
to the property.
Four of the patents were signed
by Janies Monroe and were appar
ently issued to soldiers of the war
of 1S12 as a reward for their ser
vices in that struggle. These
four instruments are dated from
1821 to 1823 and were issued to
the following:
Robert Gladden, northeast quar
ter section 21, a, 2s.
Louis Thompson, southeast
quarter section 9, 6, 14.
Win. \Y. White, northeast quar
ter section 6, 6, 12.
Dennis Gahan, southeast quar
ter section 6, 6, 12.
The fifth patent filed is one is
sued by James Buchanan in 1859.
It was issued to Giddons B, M.
Simmons and transfers from the
government to him 40 acres, the
northeast quarter of the southwest
quarter section 6, 6, 12.
Normal Students Arriving.
A good many students have ar
rived in this city during the past
few days who will enter the State
Normal at its opening next Mon
day, and many more are expected
by that date. President Doyne
says that the prospects are very
flattering for a good attendance on
the opening day.
Stores Open at Night.
All the leading stores are now
keeping open at night, which is a
sure sign that business is picking
up The merchants are all look
ing foreward to a good business
this fall. Printer’s ink helps along.
