XXXVII, No. io 2 CHURCH BODIES WILL MEET HERE — baptist and mlthobist ORGANIZATIONS TO HOLD AN NUAL GATHERINGS AT CON WAY NEXT MONTH. Frnin Friday's Daily— Conway next month will be the host of the two largest religious organiza tions in the state, the state Baptist convention and the North Arkansas conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south. The two meetings will bring a total of more than 1,000 dele gates and visitors to the city and each will be in session for the greater part of a week. Already plans are being made for the entertainment of the guests for these occasions and no difficulty is an ticipated in finding homes for all who will attend the big assemblies. It will be the first time in the history of the state that these important organiza tions have ever met the same year in the same city. The occasions will al so be noteworthy for the fact that each organization will meet in the fin est church of its denomination in a city of less than 10,000 popuiation in Arkansas. The Conway Baptists own an elegant and commodious church building with a seating capacity of over 1,500, completed only a few years ago at a cost of about $45,000. The Methodists of this city are just completing a magnificent edifice, cost ing over $60,000, which will be finish ed in ample time for the assembling of the conference. The state Baptist convention will assemble here Thursday, November 18, and will remain in session until Monday, November 22. Preceding the regular convention will the annual Baptist ministers’ meeting, which will be in session November 16 and 17. P. C. Barton of Jonesboro is president of the convention and Rev. E. I?. J. Gar rott of Heber Springs is secretary. The opening sermon will be deliv ered by Rev. 'W. J. E. Cox, pastor of the First Baptist church of Pine Bluff, with Dr. M. P. Hunt of Fayetteville as alternate. Other officers of the convention are: Dr. J. W. Conger, Conway, first vice president; Allen H. Autrey, Nash ville, second vice president, and Dr. J. P. Runyan, Little Rock, treasurer. Dr. Otto Whitington, pastor of the church at Conway, has announced the appointment of the following chair men of local committees for the con vention week: Ways and means, W. B. Clayton; reception, Mayor J. Frank Jones; entertainment, G. E. Owen. With only one day intervening be tween the adjournment of the Baptist convention, the North Arkansas an nual conference of the Methodist church, south, will convene here for its second annual meeting Wednesday, November 24. Bishop H. C. Morrison, D. D., of Leesburg, Fla., will preside over its session. F. M. Daniel, a well known layman of Mammoth Spring, was secretary of ihe first annual con ference at Batesville last year and will probably be reappointed to that position. The conference will proba bly continue in session until Monday, November 2!», the announcement of appointments for the ensuing confer ence year being the concluding fea ture of the session. Mrs. George Freeman returned yes- j today afternoon from Enders, where she visited her father, Br. Avery E. i Moore, former state auditor. Dr j Moore has been seriously ill for some [ time. spieSTmrt Of curs WATER MARVELOUS EffICIENCV OF FILTERING FLANT IS COM-, MENTED UPON BY PROF. M. J. McHENRY. From Friday's Daily. That the Conway municipal water supply is of the highest class of pur ity and That the efficiency of the filtra tion system is marvelous, is the com ment cl Prof. M. J. McHenry, head c f the department of chemistry in Hendrix College, who has just com pleted an analysis of the water. Prcf. McHenry’s report to Supt. E. V. Lev erett is :n full as follows: Conway, Ark., Oct. 14, 1915. Supt. E. V. Leverett: 1 beg tc submit the following report cn samples of water given me by you on October 11, 1915. BACTERIOLOGICAL. Raw Filt’d Number bacteria per cubic centimeter . 370 55 CHEMICAL. Total Dissolved Solids. Parts per million . 310 110 Per cent of the water... .031 .010 Temporal';, Hardness. Parts per million . 85 55 Chlorine. Parts per million . 7 7 Organic Matter (Oxygen Consump tion.) Parts per million . 2.9 1.3 INTERPRETATION. The analysis places this water in the highest class of purity. A very small amount of solids is contained in solution and this,being mostly sand, is absolutely harmless. There is an almost entire absence of organic mat ter, from which danger would arise were it present in large quantities. The efficiency of the filtering plant is marvelous. Respectfully submitted, M. J. McHenry. FINED FOR DISTURBANCE. From Monday’s Daily. Oscar Dougan was fined $:>0 and costs in the court of Justice E. Kuy kendall today on a charge of disturb ing the peace.

WtEK Of CARNIVAL AND CLUB SHOWS TO BEGIN HERE MONDAY' FARM BOYS AND GIRLS TO EX-1 HIBIT PRODUCTS—SCHOOL CARNIVAL FRIDAY. Next week will be one of much in terest in Conway—almost equal to a county fair. The various boys' and girls’ clubs of the county will exhibit their products and compete for prizes throughout the week, and on Friday and Saturday the annual school car nival will be held. Many of the de tails, rules and lists of prizes have al ready been published in the Log Cabin Democrat and the readers are doubtless familiar with most of them. Five different clubs will have ex hibits here during the week, and in each club a long list of valuable prizes^have been prepared. • The boys’ corn and peanut clubs will hold their exhibit under the auspices of County Demonstrator John L. Phillips, ana the girls’ canning club under the auspices of the county agent, Miss Myrtle Phillips. These exhibits will be placed in a store building in the business part ox Conway and will re main during the week. The exhibits will be judged on Wednesday. The Conway School and Civic Club are arrangng to assist in tne sale or sucn . products of the girls’ canning club as j the exhibitors desire. Senarate from these clubs will be the exhibits of the Faulkner County Bank’s pig and poultry clubs, which will be on display at the fair grounds. Assistant Cashier R. H. Weems, who recently made a tour of the county visiting his club members, reports an active interest everywhere, and says there will be a large number of en tries. The following copy of a circu lar letter recently sent out by him explains the enterprise: “All of you know that we could not have a big county fair this fall. There wasn’t enough money. But I did not like the idea of us working so hard on our pigs and chickens and then not getting to show them to anyone. Now the bank has arranged, with the help j of Mr. Phillips and Miss Myrtle Smith, to hold a fair of our own in connection wan tne corn, peanui canning exhibits and the Conway street carnival. The exhibits will all be free and open to all. The time is October 25-30. The pigs and poultry ! are to be brougnt in on the 27th, or not later than 8 o’clock on the morn ing of the 28th. All pigs and poultry will be judged on the 28th. We will have an expert to do the judging someone not connected with this bank or with the club in any way. ‘ Every precaution will be taken to prevent any disease from resulting. The pens will all be thoroughly clean ed and disinfected. If your pig or chickens have been exposed to any dis ease do not bring them. They would give the disease to the other pigs and chickens. Ering your own feed. “The weather is cool and if you are careful no harm will come to your pig or chickens. I want every boy and girl to have a part in this exhibit. A great many people have heard about our club and I want them to see what fine stock we have. Write me what you think of the fair. “It will be a fine thing for each of you to meet the others. You will see more fine pigs and chickens than you ever saw before in your life and you will learn from other members and from the government men who will be there a great deal of value about pig and poultry raising. Of course, you will have a great time while in Con way. So be sure to come. “Talk over the fair proposition with the club boys and girls in your neighborhood. I want you to come. You are all my friends. Don't fail me. * I am depending on you.” Plans for the street and school car nival are rapidly maturing and ev erything will be in readiness for this big event. The great parade, in which 100 decorated automobiles and floats and 1,500 students and school children are expected to be in line, will be held at 3 o'clock Friday after noon, October 29. From this time un til a late hour at night the carnival will be in full sway and many of the feautres will be continued during Sat urday.

Oct. 18.—A movement | started by Chas. E. Taylor, mayor of | Little Rock, to change the name of a) leading city thoroughfare to Confed-1 erate boulevard, bids fair to become i one of general state interest by hav- j ing Pine Bluff and other cities join ; in the movement and make the high- j way extend across the state. At a recent meeting oi tr.e niuie Rock camp cf Sons of Confederate Veterans, Mayor Taylor asked that a committee take up with County Judge j Joe Asher and the Little Rock city council the proposition of renaming College street extended, and Sweet j Home pike, to Confederate boulevard. | This name was suggested because the j Confederate cemetery and the home! are on the road. The consent of the; county judge has been given, with the | promise that signs so designating that part of the road outside the city limits will be properly placed. The city council has pledged itself to do the same inside the city. The proposition has now been pass-1 ed on to the Sons of Pine Bluff, with I the request that they get a like con- j cession from the mayor of their city, and their county judge, and rename the road which connects with the new Confederate boulevard, so that it will bear the same name. If this action is j successful, the different counties; through which the old military road connecting Little Rock and Fort Smith passes, will be asked to desig- j nate that highway Confederate High way, which will give a road almost entirely across the state, commemo rating the deeds of Arkansas troops in the Civil war. EATAL ACCIDENT AI GUY SATURDAY Oscar Jenkins, 23 years old, who lives near Guy, accidentally shot and fatally wounded himself late Satur day afternoon while squirrel hunting with his brother, Charles Jenkins, near his home. The boys were sit ting on a stone, when Oscar let his gun slip from his hands. As it fell the trigger struck the stone, dis charging the full load into the young man’s stomach. He died an hour later. JUDGf fOLT OUT FOR THIRD TERM From Wednesday's Daily— 'County Judge J. W. Holt sprung a distinct surprise in county political circles today by making positive an nouncement that he would be in the race to succeed himself for a third term in his present position. Judge Holt had been mentioned for repre sentative, but he stated some weeks ago that he would not run for that position, and it was thought ne had decided to retire temporarily from politics. “I am going to make the race squarely on my record,” said Judge Holt. “If the people believe that I have given them good service and want me to continue as their county judge, I shall be glad to do so. If not, I shall have no complaint to make.” % Judge Holt’s announcement brings the total numl>er of certain and prob able candidates for county jduge to five. J. H. Bailey and I. G. Williams of Conway, and E. L. Smith of Walk er township have already stated they would be in the race and E. H. Ed wards of Cypress is said to be a prob able candidate. PIG CLUB PROVES A GREAT SUCCESS! FAULKNER COUNTY BANK STORY OF ITS HELP TO FARM ER BOYS TOLD IN AGRICUL TURAL JOURNAL. From Morulav’p Dailv. Pictures of two of the members of he Faulkner County Bank’s pig club, together with a story of the work which this institution has been doing this year to put Faulkner county boys in the way of making themselves in dependent, appear in the October number of the Arkansas Fruit and Farms, together with a letter from Assistant Cashier ,L H. Weems, in charge of the club work, and one from one of his members. Mr. Weems’ letter, which tells something of the bank’s work, and one from one of his club members, are republished below: “I am sending you inclosed a pic ture of one of my pig club boys. This boy, Faber Harrington, Greenbrier, Ark., is only 10 years old. I inclose a letter that I received from him, telling of his records. “I am sending you under separate cover a cut of a boy and his pig that I used in my Bank News a month or so ago. This boy is Mack Browning, Wooster, Ark. His age is 16. His pig was eight months old at the time this picture was taken and it weighed 225 pounds. She is a Poland China. I took this picture. “WTe are having some fine records made with our club pigs in this (Faulkner) county. We put out 75 and only one has died. Everyone is interested and the prospects are fine for next year. We intend to double our membership and use as far as possible only registered stock. This bank will finance them again. “During the month of October I am going to visit each club member in person and hope to have something interesting to write you upon my re turn. We hope to have Mr. Sanders with us. “This club has been one of the best advertisers we have ever used. But this not the aim we had in view. We are introducing pure-bred stock in this county and showing the adult farmers, through their boys, that they can raise good stock as cheaply, or more so, than they do the scrub stock. I have never seen such a de mand for stock information and liter ature as we are having now. It keeps one of us busy nearly all the time. “Faulkner county is going to come to the front. We have good land and are going to have some good stock. Our farmers are fast waking up to the opportunity that is being offered them. Please pass the word along that this county will have to be reck oned within the near future at any sort of a show or fair that is held near us." LOOKING FOR MORE WORLDS TO CONQUER WINNING THREE STRAIGHT, COACH IS UNABLE TO BOOK MORE GAMES. Coach Dan Estes of the State Nor mal is in a quandary. He has his foot ball eleven in fine trim to meet op ponents, but he is unable to get op ponents. He has been dickering with various teams over the state for the past month, but to this date has scheduled only four games, three of which have been played and won. I he only remaining game is with the Hendrix Bulldogs, to be played No vember IS. A game with Russellville Aggies was booked for next Friday, but it has been postponed by the Ag gies until later in the season. Estes has been in communication with au thorities at Henderson-Brown and at the Jonesboro Agricultural School, but he said it is hardly probable he will be able to secure dates with them. However, the coach will con tinue scouring the country for oppon ents. The team is anxious for a game. PRIMARY DATE 10 BRING ON CONTEST AT SATURDAY'S iMEEIINC “EARLY” ANI) “LATE” DEMO CRATIC FORCES TO BATTLE HERE OCTOBER 23. A bitter fight will be precipitated when the question of fixing' a date for the next county Democratic primary is brought up at the meeting of the Faulkner County Democratic Central Committee, to be held at the court house in Conway next Saturday, Oc tober 23, according to present indica tions. Forces favoring both an early and a late date for the election are being aligned, and although both sides are claiming victory jfche matter will not be settled until the vote is taken. Those in favor of a late date argue that since the time of the general election has been changed to Novem ber it is unnecessary to hold the pri mary earlier than July or August, and that at that season of the year the people would have more time for a campaign and to vote, with more favorable weather for both. On the other hand it is argued that the precedent of holding a primary in January, which has been followed for many years in this county should not be departed from, and, further, that if the date is set later than next March, the committee which was elected to conduct the next county pri mary will have nothing to do with it, as a new committee will be elected when the state primary is held on the fourth Wednesday in next March. Still another, but very much small er faction, is in favor of holding both state and county primaries on the same date, the one fixed by the state Democratic convention. Back of all the arguments as to fix ing a date for the convenience of the voters are the political advantages and disadvantages of various candi dates and prospective candidates, nearly all of whom seem to believe that an early primary or a late pri mary, as the case may be, would be to their interest. The committee is composed of 27 members, four from Cadron township, two each from Cypress and Palarm townships and one from each of the 19 other townships in the county. A. L. Nichols of Union township is chair man and J. R. Donnell of Conway secretary of the committee. NOTICE TO BICYCLISTS. Quite a number of complaints have come to me about bicyclists using the sidewalks instead of the streets. This is a dangerous practice at all times, more especially at this season of the year when the children are going to and from school. The practice is pro hibited by a city ordinance and I think this notice is sufficient to pre vent the violation of above ordinance. Frank Jones, Mayor.
