: Arkansas State Teaehers Asso
ciation, to be held in Little Rock

says Mr. Bond. The programs
will be unusually strong.”
T. E. WOOD EOR
R. R. COMMISSIONER
Progressive and Popular Mayor
of Marianna For Railroad
Commissioner.
T. E. Wood, mayor of Mari
anna and president of the State
Press Association, a clean, capa
ble and progressive young man,
is a candidate for railroad com
missioner from the Northeast
Arkansas district and has alrea
dy attracted to his support a
strong following in this city and
county.
The editor of this paper has
been associated with Mr. Wood
in the Arkansas press associa
tion for a number of years and
knows him to be a gentleman
of character and a business man
of personal magnetism, force,
progressive ideas and aggressive
tendencies.
Mr. Wood has been in the
newspaper business all his life
and is the owner of the Mari
anna Courier, a newspaper
which enjoys the confidence of
the people of Lee county. Mr.
Wood is 35 years of age and has
been admitted to the practice of
law.
As mayor of his home city, he
has witnessed with pride the
growth of Marianna from an in
corporated town to a city of the
first class, the paving of her bus
iness streets with vitrified brick
and many other municipal im
provements, that were the result
of his civic ambition and modern
ideas of what a city should be.
The confidence and esteem in
which Mr. Wood is held by his
fellow newspaper men was evi
denced in his election as presi
dent of the state association and
the Elks of Arkansas conferred a
similar honor upon him in elect
• i • • i , n iT n j
mg mill picMuciiL ui me ouuc
Elks Association.
Mr. Wood believes that the
railroad commissioner’s office if
a place for a business man and
not a politician and promises ii
elected to exert every honest ef
fort looking to the convenience
of the general public in the im
provement of railway service
and the proper expansion of Ar
kansas trade and commerce.

tional Bank of Jonesboro has

Contract Let For Road.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 5.—The con
tract for the construction of 13
miles of improved road from
Star City to Tarry, in Lincoln
county, was awarded yesterday
at Star City by the commission
ers, to the T. H. Bunch Commis
sion Company of Little Rock,
which has undertaken road
building
The Company’s bid was $41,
165.72 for a gravel road and
: $64,861.77 for macadam. The
character of the road was not
decided, but this will be done
later by the commissioners, as
i Bunch’s bid was the lowest oh
I both types. State Highway En
I gineer Carter was present at the
I opening of the bids. This was a
ire-letting, as the lowest bid for
! gravel the first time was $57,
000.
Mr. Carter also reports the or
ganization of Lincoln Good
Roads District No. 2, for the
building of a road from Star City
to Grady, a distance of 21 miles
The preliminary survey will be
started February 16th.
Petition Hearing Drags.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb- 5.—The sa
loon petition for Little Rock is
dragging slowly, and the liquor
men will probably not close their
case before this evening. It may
be Saturday before Judge Asher
announces his decision. It is
generally conceded that license
will be granted.
The saloon men are answering
each one of the individual re
monstrances presented by the
prohibitionists to over 1,400 of
the 12,590 names on the peti
tion. They claim they have a
majority, even if all the names
against which protest is made
were stricken from the petition,
but they say they desire to prove
the inconsistency of the re
monstrances. There is little
doubt that the case will be car
ried to the circuit court, but in
the meantime the saloons will be
opened.
To Close Capitol Sundays.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 5.—It is an
nounced that hereafter the state
capitol will be closed to visitors
on Sunday until after the work
in the interior has been com
pleted, which will probably be
in the late summer. This is
made necessary by the large a
mount of scaffolding that has
been erected for the purpose of
stripping the walls of plaster
which is to be replaced with Al
abama marble.
The whole interior of the build
ing, except the office, is a vast
workshop and the walls are bare
and unsightly. The walls of
the senate and house are also be
ing stripped, and when the leg
islaure meets in January, 1915,
it will be in halls lined with
white marble.
The seating arrangements in
both halls will be changed, pro
viding ample space for all the
members, clerks and represent
atives of the press- Handsome
marble stands will be provided
for the speaker and the presi
dent, and an effort will be made
to solve the acoustic difficulties
which were so annoying last ses
sion.
Wanted—furnished or unfur
nished room for family of three,
references furnished. Apply to
Independent office. 59d6

On Quest ion of County Superin
tendency In Annual School
Election, May 171h.
—
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 4.—The an-1
nual school election is to be held ;
throughout the state on Satur- j
day, May 17th There was ex-1
pended for the public schools of
Arkansas during the year end-'
ing June 30, 1912, nearly four
milion dollars, and the expendi- 1
tures for the year just closing
will probably exceed that a-!
mount. Arkansas has a perma- ‘
nent investment of more than
| ten million dollars in public
! school property, and more than
I two million dollars invested in its !
I University, State Normal, Agri- I
I cultural Schools, etc.
i In sixty counties of the state I
there will be a vote of the ques-1
tion of county superintendency.
All districts will vote the annual
tax and elect directors. "It is of
personal importance to nearly ■
every citizen,” said State Super-1
intendent Cook, “th'at persons 1
capable and worthy are elected
to the school board of his dis
trict, for the directors have very
broad discretionary powers, as
well as full authority to handle
the affairs of the district and
once elected, hold office for
three years.’
