HENDRIX WAS
OVERWHELMED
Wearing a dry grin on their
faces, the Hendrix football team
returned this morning from Ark
adelphia where they were defeated
by Henderson yesterday by the
overwhelming score of 65 to o.
“We had no line,” said one mem
ber of the vanquished team, “and
they simply went through us when
ever they got ready. ’ ’ The press
report of the game sent out from
Arkadelphia follows:
Arkadelphia, Nov. 16.— In a
game which was a run-over for
Henderson, Hendrix went down
in defeat today to the tune of 65
to o. Henderson by a constant
series of terrific line plunges, plow
ed mercilessly through the Con
way men’s line, whose eyebrow
tackling did not avail much in
this section. Although eleven
touch downs were scored on them
nd Berry kicked ten goals, the
lendrix men never gave up and
battled nobly to the end against
their superiors.
Prank Williams’ work at tackle
was spectacular, while the Hen
derson ends and backs also starred.
Hendrix was strongest in her
quarter, whose punting was effect
ive. Henderson did not resort to
punting much.
Bishop Hendrix to Speak.
Bishop E. R. Hendrix of the M.
E. Church south will deliver an
address at Hendrix College next
Tuesday morning, to which the
public is invited to attend. On
account of the Bishop having to
leave on the morning train the ex
ercises will begin at 8 o’clock a.
in. _
Bond Not Yet Made.
Although it is expected that the
bond of L. E. Milligan will be
filed within the next day or two
and he will be released from jail, it
has not yet been done,as was stated
in a Little Rock paper yesterday
afternoon.
MUCH WORK ACCOMPLISHED
Conway M. E. Church, South,
Has Good Year.
Total Membership 52g. -Over $4000
Raised During Conference Year
Just Closed.
A net increase of 51 members,
making a total of 529, and over
$4000 raised for all purposes—these
are the most salient features of the
work of the Conway M. E. church,
south, for the conference year just
ended.
Before leaving tonight for the
annual conference at Van Buren,
the pastor, Rev. J. B. Stevenson,
gave the Log Cabin Democrat a
brief summary of the work accom
plished by his church during this
year. “We have added 150 mem
bers in the two years that I have
been pastor of the church,” said
Mr. Stevenson. “Fifty-one mem
bers were added during the past
year, and the total membership of
the church now 529. Our Sunday
school is one of the largest in the
state, having an enrollment in all
departments of 652. The number
of officers and teachers is 42. So
great has the attendance become,
that it is necessary to maintain a
branch school at Hendrix College
District No. 2. Has New Leader
Miss Mary N. Reeves Receives 4,100 Votes and Goes
to the Front—Another Day of
Heavy Voting.
The third day of the ten days of special voting brought out
another heavy vote, almost but not quite as many votes cast during
the 24 hours ending at noon today as in the previous 24-hour
period.
Miss Mary N. Reeves of R. F. D. No. 2 received 4,100 votes
and takes the lead in District No. 2, supplanting Mrs. L. N. Bolls,
who has been at the top almost every day since the contest began.
Miss Mollie Livingston still holds first place in No. 1, although
Miss Woods Livingston received a large vote and is a close second.
Some of the candidates further down in the standing are work
ing hard this week, and some surprising changes are likely to
occur before the end of the week.

for the students of that institution.
This is in charge of Prof. M. J.
Russell and the regular Sunday
school is superintended by L. C.
Holman.
“The Kpworth League,’’ con
tinued Mr. Stevenson, “is another
very active department of our
church work. Both of the women’s
societies have also done splendid
work.
“The church in all its depart
ments has raised a total of consid
erably over $4000 during the year.
Besides paying the salary of the
pastor, it has met every conference
claim in full and has supported its
special missionary in Cuba, Rev.
Henry Smith, and has liquidated
a debt on the building of nine
years’ standing, amounting to over
$1500.”
Mr. Stevenson is much gratified
over the fraternal spirit existing
between the various churches in
the city, and says that a better
feeling seems to exist here than in
almost any town in which he has
had a charge.
Saturday Court Day.
Hereafter County Judge Tea will
hold a session of both county and

be open ou that day of the week.

acres 4 miles southwest of Conway

COMMISSION
sirs NOTHINO
Little Rock, Nov. 17.—A silence
so intense that it is painful per
meates the air of the Arkansas
railroad commission quarters. It
has been this way since yesterday
afternoon when the members of
the commission were served
with a citation to appear in the
United States circuit court Thurs
day morning and answer to the
charges of contempt, preferred
against them there by attorneys of
the Rock Island and Iron Moun
tain railroads. Not one of the com
missioners, nor Roy D. Campbell
prosecuting attorney of this dis
trict, who was cited with them,
will talk of the matter, for fear
their conversation might be con
structed as contemptuous also.
The contempt proceedings will
be taken up at 10 o’clock Thursday
morning and the commissioners
will be represented by Attorney
General Kirby and probably some
special counsel. The commission
ers being advised by the best legal
talent in the state before taking
the step of directing penalty suits
are not the least worried over the
outcome, however, though they
have been jokingly informed the
county jailer has purchased tour
uew tin plates, four new tin spoons
and four new tin cups.
Attorneys for the railroad claim
the commission has violated the
injunction granted against the two
cent passenger rate and freight
traiff of the commission in orderj
ing the penalty suits which were
filed Saturday afternoon by Prose
cuting Attorney Campbell. They
allege the commission, objecting to
the new rates of the railroads,
should have promulgated a new
set of rates and directed the rail
roads to comply with them before
ordering penalty suits. The com
missioners merely smile and keep
on sawing wood while they say
nary a word.

J. J. LIVINGSTON
AN INCIDENT OF LONG AGO
Little Boy of Faulkner County Who Be
came Great Preacher.
In the current issue of the West
ern Methodist, Rev. Janies E.
Caldwell recalls an interesting oc
currence in the early history of this
county. The Miss Vann referred
to later became Mrs.J. W. Duncan
and the mother of Judge W. H.
Duncan and Mrs. W. E. Durham
of this city.
‘‘I want to mention a little in
cident,” says Mr. Caldwell, ’‘that
o.curred in one of my Sunday even
ing appointments at B. V. King’s
on the Cadron several miles above
where Conway is now, an incident
which in the light of subsequent
events was of rare interest on my
first circuit, the Louisburg 1854.
There was a little lad there going
to school to Miss Alma Vann.
His mother attended service, and
after dismission returned home.
Her little son concluded to follow
her. Miss Vann requested me to
overtake him and bring him back.
I overtook him on the bridge, and
he informed me in no very mild
terms that he did not want to go
back and that he would not, but
after quite an effort on my part I
succeeded in turning him over to
his teacher, who, wl en I left, was
giving him a good religious lecture
about the bears that destroyed the
bad children. That, then little
boy grew to young manhood, was
converted, entered the ministry,
and is now the Rev. B. H. Great
house, D. D. God bless you, my
dear brother, and by his grace
make your ministry abundantly
successful, and bring you at last
to meet your mother and teacher
in heaven.”
PERRY COUNTY IS SUED
Bridge Company Asks Judgment for $9700
in Federal Court.
Little Rock, Nov. 17.—Suit has
been filed in the United States Fed
eral court by Bradshaw, Rhoton
& Helm, for the Southwestern
Bridge Co. against Perry county,
asking for a judgment for $9,700.
This suit was originally filed in
Perry county but dismissed to be
brought in the Federal court here.
On December 12,1906 the county
judge of Perry county, according
to the complaint, let the contract
for the building of bridges in the
county to the Virginia Bridge &
Iron Co., which later assigned the
contract to the plaintiffs. The
Southwestern company alleges it
continued with the erection of the
bridges until last year when it
went into the hands of a receiver.
The bridges were completed and
the county judge allowed the bill,
but a citizen objected to the ac
count and appealed to the circuit
court, which case was dismissed
in order that the suit might be
brought in the Federal court here.
The account is for the erection of
four steel bridges across Fourcbe
river.
