Board Will Tackle Malaria.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28.— When
the Arkansas Board of Health
was formed by the legislature
of 1913, those advocating it
promised great things in the
way of prevention of sickness,
and better sanitary conditions
and the first big step in this di
rection was announced Monday
by Dr. Morgan Smith, the head
of the Board.
Dr. Van Ezdorf, of the Unit
ed States Board of Public
Health now stationed in Mo
bile, will arrive in Arkansas be
fore the end of the week and
take up the study of the malari
al situation in this state.
The two greatest causes of
sickness in the South are ma
laria and the hookworm. The
latter disease is now receiving
much attention, but Alabama is
the only Southern state in which
the government interested itself
in malaria. Dr. Van Ezdorf has
made an exhaustive research in
that state, and his report has
caused a campaign which is
expected to wipe out the dis
ease. He will do the same for
Arkansas, taking probably a
year to visit all sections and
study the prevalence of the dis
ease, its distribution, the man
ner in which the mosquitoes,
which are supposed to carry the
germs, breed, and the normal
conditions of the people of the
state.
This research work will be
carried on with the assistance of
the State Board of Health, and
in the end the physicians hope
to free the people of Arkansas
from the disease which causes
so much sickness.
S. W. Erwin left this morning
for his home in Sharp county af
ter a few days’ visit to Mrs. M.
M. Erwin and family.
A note from P. H. Van Dyke
and party, written Sunday at
Farmington, Mo., stated they
were having all kinds of tire
troubles, which would probably
make them a day late in reach
ing home, which will be about
Tuesday night.

Friedman Cure At Little Rock.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28.—With
out interference from the State
Board of Health, as had been an
ticipated, or at the hands of the
State Medical Society, represen
tatives of the Friedman cure for
consumption, or the alleged cure
for consumption, began treating
patients in Little Rock Monday.
Dr. J. J. Meyer of New York is
at the head of the local insti
tute, and it is stated no one will
be turned away. Charges will
be made for those who are able
to pay, and others will be treat
ed free.
The Friedman cure differs
from most forms of vaccination,
for live germs are introduced in
to the body, where dead germs
are used in the other treatments.
The germs will be raised in Lit
tle Rock, and every physician in
the state will watch with great
interest the progress of the pa
tients who are treated. A num
ber of patients who were treated
in New York will continue their
treatment in Little Rock, having
returned to this section of the
country after Dr. Friedman had
injected his serum into their
systems.
Carry Remains to Batesville.
The remains of Mrs. Margaret
Emmert Baird, who died in
Washington City last Friday,
were brought through this city
this morning en route to Bates
ville for burial at the old home.
The remains were accompani
ed by her husband, Mr. Baird,
and the mother, Mrs Emmert,
who were joined here by Rev.
Henry E. Spears, rector of St.
Paul's church, who will conduct
the funeral service this after
noon.
Mrs. Emmert, who was a resi
dent of Batesville years ago is
now matron of the Confederate
Soldiers’ Home at Washington
City.
Protests Against Martin.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28. —Unit
ed States Senator James P.
Clarke wil return to Arkansas to
take a look at the local situation
as to the shaking down of a few
federal plums. He is now be
sieged with protests as to the
appointment of W. H. Martin of
Hot Springs, as United States
District Attorney here, it be
ing alleged that Mr. Martin did
not support the democratic tick
et in the last state election, and
that he supported a nepuoncan
in preference to the Democratic
nominee for the State Senate, in
Garland county several years
ago. Mr. Martin at this time
acted as attorney for C. D.
Greaves in his contest for the
seat claimed by Orlando H.Sum
ter. It is stated that he made
speeches on the stump for
Greaves. Senator Clarke will
probably look into these while in
Little Rock.

Judge Stuckey Tells Tomato
Yarn.
Say, do you know M. M. Stuc
key Esq., attorney at law, and
all round good fellow of New
port?”, asked Col. Geo. G.
Dent of Annieville, who was in
the city for a few hours this
week, talking of the proposed
macadam road to be built from
Imboden to Smithville, 13 miles,
in two days, by Lawrence coun
ty’s best citizens agreeing to
work personally on it. “Well, if
i you don’t I do, in more ways
than one. I believe he is the
most finished prevaricator 1
have ever known. The other
| day at my picnic, Stuckey and
Jack Conger, president of Cen
i tral College at Conway, ate din
! ner at our spread. Stuckey is
| politeness to the ladies you
know.
Well, my wife and Stuckey got
to talking on canning tomatoes.
Mrs. Dent is pretty good at can
ning stuff, so they say, and I
expect she was trying to tell
Stuckey how to can stuff, when
He ventured to remark: “Mrs.
T'V J • t* IT •*
i wue ctnui caimeu luuit:
(than a hundred cans of tomaties
I for our family use last season.
We filled the cans full and seal
ed them tight. We placed the
cans in our cellar and when we
opened them for use a few7
months later there wasn’t a to
mato or any juice in the cans we
had put up, and they were seal
ed tight just as the were when
we put them away with the to
matoes in them last summer.”
After Judge Stuckey left my
wife told me what he had told
her about this, and asked me
how he stood in the community
in which he lived for truth. I
did not reply to her question, but
I couldn’t but think of Endos

Crop Summary.
The crop did well over much
the greater portion of the cot
ton area. There was deteriora
tion in certain sections of Texas
i and in parts of Oklahoma, but
the loss is in its incipiency and
can be readily regained wtih
I rains. Most Texas correspond
ents say that rain by August
' 10th will insure a good crop.
In all other .Antes there was
I enough rainfall to supply a
■ bundant moisture save over nor
thern Mississippi and Tennessee
I where rain is not yet a necessi
ty. It is thus true that the
jcrop made normal progress over
I 75 to 80 per cent of the area
[and a small or moderate deteri
| oi'ation over the remaining 20
to 25 per cent.
Very excellent condition as
to cultivation as well maintained
and the crop is being laid by or
given the final cultivation over
large areas. The soil is in fine
tilth and the fields are free from
grass.
The plant is taking on fruit
well in all sections, and many
note this function as being ex
ceptionally well performed.
There is no shedding except in
Texas.
Open bolls are reported in mid
dle Alabama and picking has
become general in Southwestern
Texas. Weevils appear to be do
ing rather less damage than
heretofore.
BY STATES.
North Carolina—Crop as a
whole, has done well. Rains fell j
in most sections, but were rath
er irregular and places are still
dry. Cotton is not large and is
genarally rated as late, but
sems to be well fruited and
healthy.
South Carolina—Good rains
over the state. Plant blooming
and fruiting freely. Generally
somewhat small, but prospects
are pleasing.
Georgia—Rains general ex
cept in Northwest where still j
dry. Old cotton well fruited i
and laid by. Rains have dissi-1
pated effects of intense heat and
crop outlook is good. Small
plant well fruited and thrifty.
Alabama — Rains covered
practically entire state, giving
ample moisture. Crop heavily .
fruited and being laid by in al
most perfect cultivation. Open
bolls reported at Grensboro
Weevils not numerous.
Mississippi—North and cen
tral Mississippi is in need of
general rains, though local
showers have fallen. South,
plenty of rain. Plant, heavily
fruited and very promising. On
ly menace is weevil.
Tennessee General condi
tions excellent. Plant healthy
and well fruited and cultivation
perfect. General rain would be
welcome.
Arkansas—Rains at week’s end
supplies needed moisture and
crop is doing about everything
expected of it. With favorable
August a normal crop is assured.
Lousiana— Generally good
week. Some excess rain south,
while more moisture would be of
benefit to northern counties.
Weevils numerous but crop
of bolls being set.
Oklahoma—Up to the end of
the week some damage had oc
curred from drouth and heat.
Rains fell over a limited area,
and situation is not relieved. If
weather remains dry and hot
further deterioration will re
sult but plant is still healthy
and well fruited.
Texas —Some deterioration
has resulted from th'e drouth,
which is rather severe in parts
of Western and Southern cen
tral counties. However, in the
dry districts some local rains
have fallen. Northern and Nor
thwestern and the most Eastern
Texas reports high condition
and good development. General
rain would be beneficial. Pick
ing is bcoming general around
Beeville and San Antonio.
