very few church members who
will farry in Gethsemane with
the pastor? Most of you belong
to the bunch of eight—sound
asleep.
You see the man that has ac
hieved great success—he has
paid the price of tarrying. Most
of the great men, once were
poor.
That great lawyer, you hear
him make a master speech. He
wins a noted case, yqu envy him
and say: "He. has an easy time,
he has a great record and is
lucky.” You wish you-had half
his ability and his cash. Did
you ever look to see what it cost
him? He was onee a poor boy
By his dim light he studied until
two o’clock in the morning. He
spent years of hard study before
he \yas admitted to the bar. His
early practice was almost too
hard for human endurance. He
had no time to go to shows,
to theatres or for the needed re
creation. But now he is called
the prince of lawyers. Are you
willing to pay the price?
Yonder stands a preacher.
You envy him do you? Well are
you wiling to pay the price?
“There is no great achievement
without great labor.”
You see. a woman whose very
face shines with joy. The socie
ty woman says, "I wish I ^as
half as good as she, and enjoyed
myself half as well.” But wom
an, a few nights ago you passed
by this woman’s house on your

Wctj tv Cl uaxxvv -*
If you would peep into that
house you would have seen hei
reading the Bible on her knees.
You can have it if you are will
ing to pay the price.
I tell you people before every
one is a Gethsemane. It is wait
ing for you. You can defy me,
and scoff at the Gospel; you
can defy God today. You can
defy Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
But you cannot defy that gar
den you must pass through on
your way to the grave.
At the invitation five came
forward and confessed Christ
as their Savior.
Sunday will be a great day at
the tabernacle at 2:30 and at 7
o’clock.

Sparks Estate Pays State.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Dec. 2.—Attor
ney General Norwood today re
ceived a check for $7210.27, the
^amount of inheritance tax on
I the estate of the late George T.
Sparks, the Fort Smith capital
' ist who was drowned in the Pa
cific ocean over two years ago.
I The case was fought through
the courts, Henry Rector and
'George Vaughan being associat
ed with Gen. Norwood as repre
! sentatives of the state. The
state lost in the probate and
circuit courts, but won in the su
preme court, where the inheri
; tance tax law was upheld, and
declared constitutional. This is
'the largest amout that has ever
' been received by the state on ac
count of the inheritance tax, the
Sparks estate having inventori
ed at $447,000, approximately.
As it is being enforced, the law,
'which was practically inopera
tive for years, is being made a
[considerable source of revenue
for the state.

CONffSS CRIME
i
Two Brothers Plead Guilty To
Dynamiting Charge and
Clear Up Mystery.
Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 1.— (
James J3. McNamara pleaded
guilty to murder in the first de-,
gree in Judge Walter Bordwell’s,
court today. j
His brother, John J. McNama-j
ra,secretary of the nternational;
Association of Bridge and Struc
tural Iron Workers, entered a
plea of guilty to having dynamit
ed the Llewellyn Iron Works in
Los Algeles on Christmas day,
1910.
James B. McNamara’s confes
sion clears up absolutely the 1
tragedy of the explosion and fire
which at 1:07 o’clock on the
morning of October 1, 1910,
wrecked the plant of the Los An
geles Times at First and Broad
way and caused the death of 21
persons.
For 19 of these deaths the Mc
Namara brothers were indicted, j
and J. B. McNamara was on j
trial specifically for the murder!
of Charles J. Haggerty, a ma-|
chinist, whose body was found j
nearer than that of any other to!
was believed to have been placed. >
December 5—next Tuesday—
was set as the date to sentence
both men. It is expected Dis
trict Attorney John D. Freder
icks will ask life imprisonment
for James B. McNamara, the
confessed murderer, and proba
bly 14 years’ imprisonment for
his brother. j
By their confessions the mem
are believed to have saved their
lives from the hangman.
The great contention that the
Los Angeles Times was not dy
namited is now dead beyond re
surrection or argument. i
- Don’t Be Deceived.
Sometim£*ago we selected the
wand of White Rose for our
four. The flour put up under
the brand1 of Olathe White Rose
is absolutely the very highest
?rade of flour manufactured by
iny mill in the United States.
Since we advertised under this
Drand other merchants have got
:en the same brand for a cheap Jg|
four. We have the mill quota- ty|
tion on this flour which is $3.60 y.
per barrel or 45c per sack. -/y|
Please don’t get the White Rose <

Found Dead On Track.
Searcy, Dec. 1.—The mutilat
arl tyf A P TTnrrl a farmAr
)f Griffithville, was found on
the Rock Island tracks about "
two miles from this place, yes
terday morning.
It appears that Ford came up
from Higginson on the passen
ger train last night and stopped
off to transact some business. '
Later he started to this place
afoot. The freight train came '1|
along later, and as deceased was
very deaf, was probably run ;;
down by the freight and the top If
of his head crushed' by the
the trucks. He was 75 years of *
age, and leaves a family. The
remains were taken in charge by^.^^—*
Coroner J. A. Chandler, who will
prepare them for burial and
make a careful investigation of
the cause of death.
Catches Eagle Alive.

the Barber Lake section of the, m
