The Battleship Arkansas.
The mightiest ship of war
that has been seen in New York
waters anchored off Eightieth
street in Hudson river at noon
yesterday. This was the new
super-dreadnaught Arkansas, a
ship that if it could be brought
ashore would occupy a space of
half a city block wide and more
than two and a half city blocks
Inner
The inflexible, the mighty bat
tle cruiser England sent to New
York for the Hudson-Fulton cel
ebration, and the Moltke, might
ier than the Inflexible, which the
Kaiser sent to visit this country,
are in every way worthy of the
flags they fly. but the Arkansas
is superior to them from every
naval standpoint, except that of
speed. At present the Arkansas
and the Wyoming lead the na
vies of the world in point of size
and armament.
The new ships are as graceful
in appearance as any in the fleet.
Forward there are two 12-inch
turrets, and on the afterdeck
there are four more, which
means that either of these ves
sels carry 12-inch guns. The 12
inch projectiles the Arkansas
and Wyoming could fire at a sin
gle broadside would weigh ap
proximately 10,200 pounds. In
size the Arkansas is twice as
large as the Idaho, 10.000 tons
greater than the Connecticut,
and 6,000 tons greater than the
Delaware.
From the moment she anchor
ed off Eightieth street yesterday,
until sundown, the new dread
naught was the center of attrac
tion to all those on Riverside
drive. Cap. Roy Campbell Smith
commands the Arkansas. Under
him are 11,000 officers, sailors
and Marines.
Stood on end, the Arkansas

would be nearly three times as
high as the Waldorf-Astoria, she
would extend 138 feet above the
; top of the tower on the Times
j Building, nearly 175 feet above
: the dome of the World Building,
and her bow would be less than
111 feet lower than the top of the J
j tower of the new Municipal
Building.—New York Times.
The “Arkansas” is the only
Battleship in the American Navy
without a silver service. Sub
scribe now to the fund to pur
chase a silver service.
The Independent has been ask
ed to receive subscriptions from
Newport and forward them to
the commission at Little Rock,
who have charge of this move
ment. This great battleship
ought to have a silver service but
as the government makes no pro
vision for such an expense, the
appeal must be made to the state
pride of our citizens. Thirty
seven states of the Union have
done as much for battleships
named in their honor and Arkan
sas will too.
The legislature refused an ap
propriation and the appeal must
be made to the people direct.
Dollar subscriptions have proven
the best means of raising this
fund and the Independent will be
pleased to receive, acknowledge
and forward all such contribu
tions from this county.
The Point of View.
John Sharp Williams, United
Sates Senator, author, and fa
mous wit, was discussing auto
mobiles, which subject reminded
him of old Aunt Lucy, a colored
woman of gigantic physique
and wonderful powers of lan
guage.
One morning Aunt Lucy was
standing on the roadside while
the dust left behind by a speed
ing touring car settled upon her
highly colored headgear. She
was brandishing aloft a green
parasol, and was hanging on the
atmosphere lurid pictures of
what ought to happen to drivers
of automobiles who made pedes
trians leap into the bushes.
“Dar ain’t no sense in it,” she
concluded. “Dey all ought to be |
‘rested and hung. Dey is de wuss
class of de Southern population!”
The next day the owner of the
automobile stopped when he saw
Aunt Lucy and asked her to ride
in the car. When she first took
her seat she was a little skiddish
but in a few minutes she settled
back against the cushions and
enjoyed herself immensely. At
a turn in the road the chauffeur
had to stop suddenly to keep
from running over a middle ag
ed colored man- Aunt Lucy

Make Friends At Home.
There is an old saying that
“trade goes by favor.” If a man
make no effort to throw business
advantages in the way of his
neighbors, he cannot expect that
they will be much interested in
his prosperity. Yet a great
many people who are dependent
on the industries of Batesville
for their success, will buy in
some other city, merely because
they think they are going to
save a margin of a few cents.
The chances are that if they gave
their alleged bargains the same
careful examination they would
apply to them in a home store,
they would never pay down good
money for them. But that is
another story.
When you buy goods away
from home, you cut yourself
loose from the business interests
of your own town. You declare
that you have nothing to gain
by the friendship of your neigh
bors or the prosperity of your
own community.
On the purely sentimental side
one has little admiration for this
lack of town spirit. There is an
element of disloyalty in refusing
to help build up the community
which provides you your home
and the comforts and conveni
ences of civilization.
Pnf loxrinrr ooirln nli minofiAMo
why not consider the advantages
of making business friends at
home? Every time you buy
goods in a Batesville store, you
create a personal relation that
may be very profitable. This is
particularly the case where you
have anything to sell at home.
The man who gets your patron
age becomes personally interest
ed in you. If you are in business
here the spirit of reciprocity
prompts him to patronize your
establishment. Even if you work
for salary or wages the relations
you create in the home store, and
patronizing the home dealer may
be exceedingly valuable in some
future exigency. The man to
whom you have given your trade
becomes your friend, and if he
can find some way to throw fav
ors in your direction he is glad to
do it.—Batesville Guard

Cheerful Men Succeed.
The men whom 1 have seen succeed
best in life have been cheerful and
hopeful men, who went about their
business with a smile on their fa«es,
and took the changes of this mortal
life like men, facing rough and
smooth alike as it came.—Charles

WISHED SHE
COULD DIE
And Be Free From Her Troubles,
bat Finds Better Way.
Columbia, Tenn.—“Many a time,’*
says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place,
“I wished I would die and be relieved
of my suffering, from womanly troubles.
! could not get up, without pulling at
something to help me, and stayed inlied
most of the time, I could not do my
housework.
The least amount of work tired me
ou*' .As head would swim, and I would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally, I
look Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I
am not bothered with pains any more,
and I don’t have to go to bed. In fact
1 am sound and well of all my troubles.”
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms of womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help yoi
