The Newport High School
basket ball team swamped the
Tuckerman High School team to
day at the school grounds, score
40 to 0.
The Tuckerman team was a
little lighter than the Newport
team but at times showed clas
sy form.
The Newport girls showed
well at all times and was never
in danger of their goal at any
time.
The stars of the game were
undoubtedly Misses Julia Youn
ger and Jessie Littleton, who
threw goals from all angles of
the field, Miss Younger throwing
twelve goals and Miss Littleton
eight.

JUDGE KIRBY
OPENS CAMPAIGN
Discuss Trusts and Combina
tions—Said Senator Clarke
Is Indierent Democrat.
Special to Independent.
Benton, Ark., Nov. 22.—As
sociate Justice W. F. Kirby op
his campaign for the Unit
ed States Senate here this after
noon. He discussed at consider
able length the official record of
Senator J. P. Clarke, declaring
that he is out of sympathy with
the principles of genuine demo
cracy, and out of touch with the
people.
In discussing national issues,
he said that the tariff question
has been settled by a Democrat
ic administration, that the cur
rency question is in process of
settlement, and he devoted some
time to a discussion of the un
equal distribution of wealth
through the operation of trusts
and combinations in the re
straint of trade.
Judge Kirby advocated a rural
credit system, and upon this
point said: “In the establish
ment of the national banking
system of these United States,
the farmer was not given con
sideration, and the great indus
try of agriculture was ignored,
and, even now, the changes pro
posed in the currency system,
while altogether good, and
wVnr-fo cWVt'ilf'l rwrivp vomorl i a 1
and vastly beneficial, deal almost
exclusively with commercial
banking, supplying the needs of
the merchant and manufacturer
and not adequately providing
for the needs of agriculture.
Our banking system is a com
mercial one, intended primarily
to accommodate industries and
commerce, to take care chiefly
of the merchant and manufac
turer and not the farmer. It
discriminates against him in not j
all ving his chief asset—his
r> al estate, his farm—to be tak
en as security, and does not take
into account his need of money
for longer periods than required
by other industries of com
merce.
The Revival Continues.
The congregation last night
was the largest yet at a week
night service. There were three
young ladies to profess faith in
Christ last night. It was an old
time service. The Wisdom Sis
ters are giving most excellent
service. All thoroughly enjoy
their singing. Song service to
night begins at 7:15.

Batesville High til, Newport
High 0.
In a fast and snappy game
between the Elevens of New
port High School and Batesville
High School the Batesville gang
outplayed the Newport squad
and were returned victors.
Greenfield for Batesville was
undoubtedly the star of the
game going through for five
touchdowns with practically no
interference at ail, but many
times he was stopped by fine
tackles by “Tud” 1 ‘rusted and
Herbert Wise.
Newport gained mostly -m
forward passes. Charles Mim-i'
played an excellent game for
Newport, breaking up several
plays for Batesville that looked
good for gains.
Stallings twice dove through
center and broke up two at
tempted forward passes
The Newport boys under the I
coaching of Dr. Nelligan and
Mr. Warren Dunaway are gain- ’
ing much headway and but for
being outweighed by Batesville.
Newport would have certainly
cleaned up with Batesville.
Another pretty feature of the
game was a pretty drop pick by ;
Boyce Taylor from the 35 yard ,
line which landed squarely be-*
tween the goal posts. The boys
from Batesville had several good |
fake plays which made good two ■
or three times.
The Newport boys go up
against either the Corning High
School or Heber Springs High .
Thanksgiving. Lets all turn out
and cheer the home boys on to
victory.
The game was clean from the
very start, there being no rough
talk and nothing to keep the
good natured corwd from enjoy
ing the game. The officials,Tom
Brown of Arkansas College, ref
eree, and Warren Dunaway,
umpire, were good in making
decisions.

Little Rock, . .ov. 22.—The
first complete roster of Arkan
sas troops in the Confederate
service will soon be issued by
Secretary Dallas Herndon of the
Arkansas History Commission.
It will be that of the Sixth In
fantry Regiment, of which Rich
art! Lyon was colonel. The regi
ment was composed of the fol
lowing companies, designated by
number instead of letter:
No. 1—Capital Guards, Gor
don N. Peay, captain.
No. 2—Lafayette Guards,
Sam PL Dill, captain.
No. 3—Ouachita Volt igeurs, .!.

Many different persons and
interests have been working for
years on the compilation of the
roster of Arkansas troops, and
Secretary Herndon has in his,
possession a vast lot of informa
tion on the subject, but it can
never be completed until an ap
propriation is made for copying
the rewords in the War Depart
ment at Washington.
Beginning next week there
will be placed on sale at the
three banks, the three drug
stores, The Star Clothing store
and I. D. Price’s, Christmas
’seals, which may he used on the
j backs of letters in business and
social correspondence and on
’Christmas gifts and packages.
With their sale there will begin,
a series of lectures on The Pre
vention and Cure of Tuberculo
sis, which is hoped will be of in
i'estimable benefit to the com
munity. Few of u (hat have
friends, relatives or acquaint
ances who have been victims of
this balding and terrible dis
ease, which as yet has defied
science and can only be con
trolled by proper attention i >
indexible laws of health a I
conduct. The entire proceeds of
the sale of these stamps will go
to the lied Cros> Society whi. ;
in turn will expend it in Arkan
sas to maintain institutions in
the state where those afflicted
with the disease may obtain
proper care and treatment
(without charge if unable to
pay for if) and to instruct the
people thorughout the state.in
every remotest place, how to
prevent having it —or spreading
it. by those who may have be
come victims. The stamps cost,
only 1 cent. each. They fill the
same requirement of any other
seal but in addition they carry a
message of hope to those in de
spair and they bespeak your in
terest and tenderness and good
will toward man. From the
1st of December to the 25th will
you help? You can help. Seal
every letter you write, business
or social, with a Red Cross Seal
and so send this message
wherever your letters go, that
you, with “Tiny Tim” in Dick
ens’ famous Christmas carol
may pray “Cod bless us—bless
us—every one with deeds of
kindness done.”
