Remove Old Buildings.
Special to Independent.
| i Little Rock, April 11.—The
two buildings which have marr
. ed the beauty of the State Capi
tol grounds, the old penitentiary
; hospital and the frame office
| building of the capitol con
tractors, have at last been sold
and are being removed. They
i brought the magnificent sum of
$327, but the Capitol Commis
sion once offered to pay to have
them removed.
In the sale of the frame build
ing the state is merely making
a loan upon which it will pay, I
instead of collecting interest.!
This building was sold to a
property owner of one of the
blocks in front of the building
I which the state must eventual
ly buy. As the building is be
ing erected there, the state must
purchase it again when it buys
i the two blocks, and it goes with
■ out saying the price will then
be that of a cottage modern in
every particular.
An Interesting Relic.
Charles W. Shaver has a fire
poker in his residence that came
into the family of his ancestors
in the year 1776, more than a
century and a third ago. It was
purchased by a great, great un
cle of Mr. Shaver, who was a
soldier in the Revolutionary war,
and the present poker was orig
inally the handle of a hunting
pan. When Mr. Shaver’s par
ents left Tennessee in 1832 for
Arkansas Territory his grand
father Shaver made his son,
John W. Shaver, a present of
the pan, which the latter "‘burn
ed out” while hunting deer on
the St. Francis river. Then the
handle began to be used as a
fire poker, to which use it has
been put for the past 75 years.
The original handle was about
six feet long, but at this time
the poker is only about two and
a half feet in length. — Sharp

TO REFER
SENATE BILL
Petitions Being Circulated In
All Parts of the State
Today.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 12.—The pe
titions asking that. Senate Bill,
No. 118 the drast ic temperance
measure passed by the last legis
lature, be referred to the people,
was placed in circulation in all
parts of Arkansas today, and al
ready several of the sheets, con
taining 35 signatures each, have
been returned to the headquar
ters of those circulating the peti
tions. The petition merely asks
that the Secretary of State sub
mit the bill to the people at the
general election in 1914. As on
ly 10,000 names are needed to re
fer the matter, the petition will
probably be filed with the Secre
tary of State this week.
Arkansas Betterment Club.
Organized At Riverside.
Dr. T. B. Bradford under the
State Board of Health and Dis
trict Sanitary Director of the
Rockefeller Commission for the
Eradication of the Hookworm
Disease, is now in Woodruff
county.
This is a new name—A. B. C.
and its members pledge them
selves to devote a part of their
time and talents to bettering
the health, especially of the
people of the state and this lo
cality.
One of these clubs has been
organized at Riverside and is at
work. Especial attention is
given to sanitation, screening
and soil pollution.
We predict that this very im
portant work will become very
popular all over the state and
will, no doubt, do a great deal of
good.
Nothing is to be coveted more
than good health and it is to be
sought rather than gold. This
paper wants to say that it will
onen its columns to the Doctoi
in carrying forward these Ark
ansas Betterment Clubs and we
hope he will soon be in Jackson
county and organize them here
All For Brundidge.
We are informed by a very re
sponsible party, a big politician
of this town who keeps abreast
with the political situation, both
State and National, that ii Steve
Brundidge should run lor gov
ernor, he would carry this entire
township, except one man.
Brundidge, when a young man.
was a hod carrier, and earned
his living by hard work. Priva
tion and all kinds of obstacles
that confronted him in the bat
tle of life, only gave him greatei
courage to fight is, until his en
ergy was rewarded. He will get
a great vote at the July election
for governor, and will be elect
ed against and over all oppon
ents. The shrewd politician
will have no place with him, but
the people will, as he is one ot
them. We are for Brundidge,
and will have more to say about
him as the day for his election
draw nearer.—Hoxie Corres

The Plunkett-Jarrell building
at Hoxie is fast nearing comple

Brundidge Will Be In The Fight.
Little Rock, April R>.—De
claring he would never use the
joffice to aid himself or friends
jin furthering their political am
bitions, former Congressman
, Stephen Brundidge of Searcy
hast night announced his can
didacy for the governorship and
said he would invite any other
candidate for the office to can
■ vass the state with him.
i Mr- Brundidge arrived in Lit
tle Rock at a late hour, having
!been delayed by belated trains
and stopped at the Hotel Marion.
He issued the following state
ment :
“I am a candidate because 1
j think any man should be proud
. to be elected governor of Ark
ansas.
“If, during the canvass, it
shall become necessary to criti
cise any former administration
of the state’s affairs, I shall not
hesitate to do so. I can say now
that I do not endorse the last
one.
“If elected to the governor’s
office, so long as I hold it, it shall
never be used to elect either my
self or anyone else to any other
office, but I am not prepared to
i sell my birthright by promising
| any man or set of men that I
will never be a candidate for
any other office. That is a mat
ter which belongs to the future
and we will let future conditions
take care of it.
“As soon as it is definitely
known who will be in the race, I
expect to invite them to join
me in a canvass of the state.”
“No candidate for governor
has certified his name to the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee to be placed on the tick
et to be voted for at the Demo
cratic primary June 21,” said
Judge A. J. Walls of Lonoke,
chairman of the committee yes
terday. “But they have am
ple time to make their wishes
•known,” he added.
: At the recent meeting of the
I State Central Committee candi
dates who expect to make the
Irace were given until April 21
to get their names placed on the
ticket. They have about ten
days in which to attend to this
important matter, and as the
primary will be held on June 21,
the candidates will have two
months in which to make their
campaign.”
It is expected that before the
end of the coming week all the
aspirants for the office will offi
cially make known their inten
tions to the Democratic State
Central Committee that their
names be certified to the various
County Democratic Committees
and their names placed on the
Democratic primary ticket.
The Junior Class of the New
port High School has begun the
publication of a school paper,
styled “The Oracle” and the first
number has just made its ap
pearance and is receiving com
plimentary mention for the en
terprise, school spirit and capa
bility it evidences upon the part
of those who are directing its
destinies. The issue is liberally
supported by Newport business
men through their advertising
and the sale of copies has also
been gratifyingly large. A
school paper is often the means
of the promotion of a healthy
school interest, class rivalry and
pride and we hope the Oracle
may be directed in such a man
