Two Good Roads Days.
Searcy, March 2.—A meeting
of the White County Good Roads
Association was held at the court
house and a large number of rep
resentative citizens from va
rious parts of the county was in
attendance. E n t husiastic
speeches were made, urging co
operation among the people of
the county in perfecting a sys
tematized plan for improving the
highways in all parts of the
county by free labor and other
wise, and especially by diligent
attention to the selection of com
petent overseers at the coming

was presided over by Attorney
John D. De Bois, adopted the
following resolution:
“That we do hereby set apart
Thursday and Friday, March 19
and 20, for the purpose of work
ing the public roads by free la
bor and money contributed, and
do pledge ourselves to aid, in
person and by contributions, to
work the roads on the days set
apart.
“We do hereby recommend
that the citizens throughout
White county do assemble on
their respective roads, at such
place as they may designate at
8 a. m., and work the roads un
der the supervision and encour
agement of their respective over
seers.
“Further, hereby, we ask all
the towns and cities to join in
and co-operate in this work.”
Want Macadam Highway.
Conway, March 3.—Stating
that a good turnpike between
Vilonia and Conway would be of
more service to the people than
a railroad or interurban trolley
line, a delegation of citizens from
Vilonia was here today seeking
to interest the business men of
Conway in a proposition of
building a macadam road be
tween the two towns, a distance
of about 13 miles. The Vilonia
committee received much en
couragement. A local merchant
assured them he would subscribe

$1,000 toward building the road.
A mass meeting will be held
at Vilona Saturday afternoon,
March 14, at 2:30 o’clock. Com
mittees will be appointed to take
up the matter all along the route
and at Conway. It is estimated
that the road can be built for a
bout $1,000 a mile or probably
not more than $15,000 for the
road. One of the committees
suggested that it might prove
cheaper to change the road from
its present location and run it
on top of the ridge, which ex
tends entirely across the county
east and west, as the expense of
transporting the rock would be
less.
Pardons Negro Woman.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 3.—Gov
ernor Hays has granted a par
don to Ada Moore, a negro wom
an, who was convicted at the
March term, 1913, of Pulaski
circuit court on a charge of mur
der in the second degree for the
killing of Her husband, and sen
tenced to two years in the peni
tentiary. Her husband, Arthur
Moore, was threatening her at
the time, and self-defense was
claimed. The pardon was re
commended by the trial judge,
prosecuting attorney, all the
members of the jury and about
400 citizens, most of them white,
who stated, that the woman was
Honest and upright and that this
was the first time she had ever
been in any trouble.
The governor also restored to
citizenship Jim Luker, of Yell
county, whb was fined $10 and
costs in June, 1911, for petit
larceny. The fine and costs
have been paid.
Tax Commissioners Visit Wash
ington.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 3.—Tax
Commissioner David A* Gates
and Epps Brown have returned
from Washington, D. C., wijth
their special counsel, Henry Rec
tor, where they appeared befdre
the supreme court. The fran
chise tax case of the Cotton Belt
involving a claim by the state of
about $30,000 for taxes, interest
and penalties, is involved in the
suit, which was submitted on
appeal.
Upon the outcome of this suit
depends the right of the state
to collect a franchise tax from
corporations doing an interstate
business, and a considerable an
nual revenue is involved. The
Cotton Belt has been the only
one that has resisted it. Arkan
sas is said to be the only state
that has just such a law, al
though other states secure prac
tically as much revenue by
other means.
School For Negroes.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 3.—There
is in Phillips county a thriving
school for negroes, that was
founded in 1864 by the Society
of Friends. Leo M. Favrot, as
sociate supervisor of rural
schools, has just returned from
an inspection of the school,
known as Southland College, lo
cated ten miles from Helena. It
was originally organized as an
asylum for colored orphan chil
dren in Helena, but in 1866 it
was removed to the country.
At the suggestion of Con.
Bentzoni, of the 56th Regiment
U. S. C. I., each private soldier
and officer of the regiment do
nated one day’s pay for the pur
chase of a site. With the $400
thus raised, twenty acres of
land was purchased, and this has
been well improved since.
Harry C. Wolford, president of
the school, and most of the fac
ulty, are white. The present at
tendance is more than 400, of
whom more than 200 are board
ng pupils, some of them com
ng from Mississippi. A thir
teen year course of study is pro
vided, including a normal course
md manual training.
“That Million Dollar Look.
Go and see this wonderful
Photo play—to appear at the op
era house Tuesday and Wednes
day nights.
At my own private and per-;
sonal expense, I have brought to
this town one of the greatest
picture plays that has ever been
produced.
For years I have been waiting
and hoping for some book, or
play, or sermon that would make
clear the powerful lesson that
this picture shows. It is a les
son that means greater success
_business success, social suc
cess, personal success to every
man who will take it home to
himelf—and apply it in his daily
living.
I brought this picture to the
opera house because I believe
that every red-corpuscled Amer
ican man who sees it can reap a
profit from it—and become a
bigger man through it—and I
want to do my share to get it
before as many folks right here
at home as I can. It’s helped
me—I want you to enjoy its
help too.
I am not going to spoil your
enjoymlent, your “thrill” and
your excitement by telling you
here what the story is. Wait
and enjoy the surprise yourself.
I am simply going to go on re
cord with the statement that it
will grip you from the first ex
posure to the last scene—and
make you say a hundred times:
“Why wasn’t this picture ever
thought of before ?”
Men have lost untold oppor
tunities; have sacrificed dear
est ambitions; have handicap
ped the hopes of years, purely
and solely through a lack of the
knowledge that this picture viv
idly and dramatically imparts.
Men have euchered themselves
out of big business gains, have
closed the doors to countless
success chances, have defeated
themselves, not only in business,
but in politics, in society—YES,
EVEN IN LOVE—because they
never studied and mastered the
lesson that this picture makes
clear to them.
If you want to play the game
of success skillfully and victo
riously ; if you want to be a
dominating factor in life’s power
circles—
Then don’t fail to see “That
Million Dollar Look,” at the Op
era House Tuesday night.

Vounji Man Must Have Friend*.
For boys and young men friendship
U a prime necessity of existence.
When a man has established himself
in life and the interests of home and
wife and family have absorbed him,
he may, perhaps, dispense with friend
ship. But as long as he is young, un
married and unsettled, he is as de
pendent on friendship as on air or
food.
