ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
Newport Has to Bow to the Inev
itable—Scores of Endorse
ments Prove It.
After reading the public state
ment of this fellow-sufferer giv
en below, you must come to this
conclusion: A remedy which
proved so beneficial years ago,
with the kidneys can naturally
be expected to perform the same
work in similar cases. Read
this:
W. M. Shelby, Batesville, Ark.,
says: “I have not had occasion
to use Doan’s Kidney Pills for
the past three years for the cure
they made in my ease has been
permanent. It gives me pleas
ure to recommend this remedy
to other kidney sufferers.”
(Statement given April 14,1911.)
Mr. Shelby was interviewed on
May 30, 1908 and he said: “I
believe that the nature of my
work brought on my kidney trou
ble. I had a constant backache
and was also subject to dizzy
spells- The kidney secretions
passed too frequently and I
knew that my kidneys Were at
fault. Doan’s Kidney Pills went
to the root of my trouble as soon
as I began their use and no one
but myself knows how grateful
I am for the cure they effected.”

Ask Attorney General’s Opinion.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 30.—A dele
gation of foreign insurance men
called on Attorney General W.
L. Moose Tuesday afternoon and
requested an opinion as to whe
ther reinsurance companies,
which do nothing but reinsuring
for other companies, will be tax
ed one and a half per cent, as all
licensed companies of the state,
or, a tax of 5 per cent in addi
tion. The additional tax is that
which is imposed upon unlicens
ed companies doing business in
the state.
The question arose over the
placing of much of the business
of the reinsurance companies
with “treaty companies,” by
which name the companies of
Russia, Austria and countries of
Europe which invest heavily in
American business, are known.
These companies are, of course, j
not licensed to do business in j
Arkansas, and as they handle
Arkansas business almost di
rect, there was a question of
them being involved for the ad
ditional tax, which would make
companies of this character pay

Governor Studies Appointments.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 30.—Several
appointments are to be made by
Governor J. M. Futrell within
the next two weeks, which are
giving him more or less concern.
He must appoint boards for the
state pharmacists and dentists,
and select a state mining inspec
tor. Every day there are a num
ber of visitors calling upon the
governor in behalf of applicants ;
for one of the positions and a
hard tight is being made in some
cases.
In the case of the State Boards
the associations of pharmacists
and dentists have selected those
whom they would have on their
boards, but, outside pressure is
being made to have these selec
tions set aside for others.
In the mine inspectorship the
officials of the miners have call
ed on Governor Futrell and urg
ed a change in this office. They
also offer strenuous objection to
the man they have heard is
favored by tKe operators.
Governor Futrell has informed
all who have charges to make a
gainst any of those recommend
ed for office, or who are apply
ing, to make them in writing so
they can become matters of rec
ord. No one has yet complied
with the request, wilting rath
er than put the charges in black
and white.
_
This speaks for the ability of the
men turned out by Dr. Hardy.
“In addition to his work in the
school, Dr. Hardy is a power on
the stump. He can go out and
get closer under the wing of
the farmer than any man I ever
saw before. He convinces the
farmer that the college will be a
benefit to him, and in this man
ner gains his co-operation, a
thing we have not always done
in the past.
“The Department of Agricul
ture has promised us every pos
sible assistance with Dr. Hardy

Praise For Dr. Hardy.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock April 30.—“When
the board of trustees of the Uni
versity of Arkansas started on
a comprehensive plan to build up
and expand the institution,”
stated Geo.' B. Cook, superin
tendent of public instruction
Tuesday afternoon, “ it cast
about for the biggest men to be
obtained and to build the agri
cultural departments of the
University as well as the others
making it the great drawing
card for the state- This is what
they have done in the selection
of Dr. Hardy.
“He is considered the greatest
agricultural man in the South. 't
He took the A. & M. of Missis
sippi after it had rocked along
for a number of years without
over 200 students, and at the
end of eleven years there were
over 1,200 pupils and the prop
erty value had increased from
$200,000 to $1,500,000. The ag-j
ricultural department of the U-r
nited States tells us that more
men for this service, by four 1
times, were taken -from the Mis
sissippi A. & M., during the in
cumbency of D. Hardy, than any
other institution in the South, j
