The party was a complete sur
prise to the honored guest who
was taken unawares, when the
guests who had been “put next’’
met at the home of Miss Willie
Overton Minor and went to the
Hays home in a body. Chaper
oned by Mrs. Hays and Mrs. E.
L- Maris, the party went to the
Elks Home, where dancing was
enjoyed until midnight, this be
ing followed by refreshments at
the Busy Bee, where specially
arranged tables were used for

cake bearing seventeen candles
made a pretty center decoration
for the table.

Difficulty In City Jail
A young man by the name of
Roy York, from Searcy, was bad
ly slashed with a knife, by a
drunken negro, who was turned
into the jail with a dangerous
knife and not locked in the cell.
A few nights ago, a man was
allowed to carry a pint of whis
key in and after a short while,
became fighting drunk and broke
up everything breakable inside
of the jail. A young man and
another prisoner locked them
selves in a cell to escape the
frenzy of the drunken man.
There is a statute prohibiting
placing negroes and whites to
gether in jails; this law has
never been observed in the New
port calaboose.
It looks plain to me that
something should be done about
the escapade that happened last
night and place the blame where
it belongs. If this slipshod me
thod is kept up without a protest
it will lead to something shock
ing some day. The jail cells aie
inadequate to accommodate all
drunks but that“Spanish dun
geon,” going by the name of city
bastile should be put in a condi
tion for human beings ar.d there
by be more in keeping with civ
ilized methods of Christian peo
ple.

SILVER FOUND
IN ARKANSAS
Ore Not Only Contains Silver,
But Rich Percentage of
Galena.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 18.— Com
missioner John H. Page reports
that two men who have been
prospecting for silver and lead
near Havana, have' struck what
appears to be a splendid pros
pect. Some of the ore was sent
to an assayist, and shows traces
or silver and a rich per centage
of galena.
They also discovered an old
smelter that had been used dur
ing war times for the purpose
of smelting lead for bullets and
other purposes. The discovery
was made by B. F. Hodges and
O. J. Ferguson, and it is remem
bered by the mother of Mr.
Hodges that the smelter was
located in that neighborhood.

RURAL CREDIT
SYSTEM NEEDED
By This Country As Much \s
Panama Canal Says
Wingo.
Fort Smith, Oct. 17.—“I think
the rural credit system of the
currency bill now pending in con
gress, is as essential as the Pan
ama canal,” declared Congress
man Otis T. Wingo of DeQueen.
in an address at the Arkansas
Oklahoma interstate fair today.
“It is not a populistic movement,
as has been charged,” said Mr.
Wingo. whose advocacy of the
credit system has gained wide
attention. “The money for the
installation of this system can
be obtained either from our reg
ular revenue or by floating bonds
as we did in the building of the
Panama canal. I see no reason
why the government should not
float bond's to start the system.
The government can obtain mon
ey at 3 per cent, the difference
bringing in enough revenue to
pay the expenses of running the
rural credits. After this is start
ed the system will run itself
“It is not a Populist movement
as is charged. I believe it is the
duty of the government to pro
vide means whereby the farming
interests of this country can be
bettered and increased. It will
give the farmer investment cap
ital which will remove the drains
upon the banks. The govern
ment is lending money to the
banks at 2 per cent; why not to
the farmers at an increased per
cent and gain? It will tend to
ease the money market and in
the harvest times we will not be
confronted with a shortage, as
at the present time, and it will
tend not only to benefit the far
mors, but also our banking sys
tem."
GORE DEIM.ORES \\ \R T \LK
I hope I will never be called
upon to cast my vote for inter
vention in .Mexico or to wage
war on a neighbor,” United
States Senator Thomas 1’. Gore
of Oklahoma said, in commenting
upon tlie Mexican situation dur
j ing tin- course of his address.
, Senator Gore declared that if the
| Mexican people possessed tin
same qualities of the people of
the United States, her country
would show as much progress as
this Union- He hoped, ht- said,
that the present strife would b>
the turning of the tide for a
greater Mexico- He said lack of
experience in self-government
is the cause of the rebellion now
in that nation. “The American
people,* said Senator Gore, “are
the best qualified people on earth
for self-government, and the
past bears out this statement.”
Pulaski Fair Closes.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 18.—The Pu
alski county fair closes tonight
after a most successful week.
The crowds have been far in ex
cess of those anticipated by the
management, and next year the
directors hope to follow up the
expansion of this year, by pur
chasing grounds and erecting
buildings in keeping with a
Pulaski county organization.
There will be a track at. the new
| grounds, so that racing may
become an attraction.
The buildings erected in the
old baseball park this year are
temporary affairs, and the fair
association will lose little if they
are abandoned. The attendance
was interfered with on only one
night, when rain fell in tor
rents, but the skies cleared Fri
day, and the crowds continued
even through Saturday, which is
usually a dull day at the fair.
