First Bale At Tuekerman.
: Special to Independent.
J Tuekerman, Aug. 30.—The
j first load of this season’s cotton
was marketed here Friday and
brought 414 cents per pound in
ithe seed. Reigler Mercantile
: Company was the purchaser,
j While considerable cotton has
| opened in this section, picking
! has hardly commenced, on ac
count of the hot weather. The
'drouth is ruining the top crop
jin this section and in the past
iweek, practically all the new
j squares and top crop have fallen.
| A good rain would prove of great
| benefit to the cotton crop of
j this township in saving a por
; tion of the late crop.
j 25 men wanted to contract cot
ton in Jackson county for the
i Southern States Cotton Corpora
ton at 15c per pound. Good
money for men who want to
work. See E. B. Greenhaw.

DEPOSITORS WILL
GET 100 CENTS
On I he Dollar In Forrest City
Bank Failure Says Judge
Rolfe.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 30,—County
Judge E. A. Rolfe, president of
the Bank of Forrest City, which
went into the hands of a. receiv
er a few weeks ago, says that the
depositors will be paid 100 cents
on the dollar and that no credit
or of the institution will lose a
cent. Whether the bank will re
sume business or not is a matter
that must be determined in the
future.
Judge Rolfe was a visitor at
the state capital Friday after
noon, and made the following
statement regarding the bank
and the delayed settlement with
the state by the collector:
“At the present time money
cannot be secured on our collat
eral, which is ample to cover all
liabilities, because of the tight
ness of the money market. The
collector, Mr. J. F. McDougall,
is perfectly in the clear, and
there is no question whatever a
bout his accounts. The county
funds were temporarily tied up
in the failure of the Bank of
Forrest City, but it will be only
a few days until everything is
settled to the satisfaction of all
concerned. The depositors of
the bank will be paid 100 cents
on the dollar- There is no
doubt whatever about that
“I regret that it will be impos
sible to close up the matter be
fore next Monday when the
school apportionment will be
made. But it cannot be done.”
The State Superintendent of
Public Instruction is making ar
rangements to make the appor
tionment. and the failure of St.
Francis county to settle wdl
mean that each child of school
age will get three or four cents
less in the per capita allowance.
The St. Francis apportionment
will be made on the basis of what
has been paid in by other coun
ties.

Finds Pearl Worth $1,000.
I Batesvilie, Ark.,—J. J. Scott, a
ferryman, and Alf Leonard, a
farmer, were in Batesvilie late
Thursday afternoon with the
finest pearl that has been found
in the White river this season.
It weighs 2Vi grains and is per
fect- Mr Scott had the pearl
and displayed it to a number of
people in the city. It is unques
tionably a fine specimen.
They said they had been of
fered $1,000 for it and refused
that amount. They believe the
pearl is worth $1,200 Mr. Scott
j said he had not hunted pearls be
fore this season, and had only
'been out about three days. Mr.
| Leonard had never hunted any
pearls before in his lfe until
three days ago.
They said a dealer in Newport
had already offered them $1,
000, but they left last night with
the pearl for Little Rock.

; Student Labor Fund Large.
| Special to Independent,
j Fayetteville, Aug. 30.—There
! is a large student labor fund a
Ivailable at the state university,
i
and it is being employed this
year to excellent advantage, be
cause of the great many im
provements being made on the
buildings and grounds.
One young man who will be an
honor graduate next June, has
written the faculty that the 3
years he has spent at the Uni
versity have cost him, outside
; of his manual labor, $375, and
that amount he made during the
■summer months, so that he will
quit the school “square with the
world ” He says that any am
bitious boy can do as well
I Boy Scouts Name Patrols,
i Interest in this organization
of boys becomes more and more
! intense at every meeting. At
(the meeting Friday night there
| were four more “tenderfoots”
i added to the troop, Master
Frank Jones, Owen Petit, Bur
!ley Coe and Alcorn F. Minor.
The names selected by the
[scouts of the Patrols are, “Bob
White”, No. 1; “Black Panther”,
No. 2 and “Owl”, No. 3. The of
ficers expect to have their com
missions and the charter by
the first of the coming week, at
which time they expect to look
j after uniforms, rods and med
als for the ones that show the
greatest zeal and possibilities.
They are also agitating interest
in competing with different
Councils, and the scouts who
progress the most in the several
Councils of the state will com
!pete with other states and then
the International looms up for
those who best can do.
j We should have boys in our
Council that would be expert
enough that they were entitled
to a part in the International
contest and we certainly hope
that such interest will be man
ifested.
Some of our good ladies show
ed their interest by .ttending
last night’s meet, who were
Mesdames Fred Jones, Robt
Harder and Geo. A- Hillhouse.
McCombs Boosts For Brother.
Hot Springs, Aug. 29.—Hot
[Springs, insofar as il is direct
ly connected with the reserva
tion, is all excitement over the
report that Ambassador Mc
Combs of France had cabled
President Wilson that he would
like the place of superintendent
[of the reservation given, to Mr.
j McCombs* brother, who resides
at Warren.
The report is That the prospec
tive superintendent is a young
man of 21 and that he is at
[present a grocer’s clerk. Two of
[the dailies here comment in
[long editorials and both are of
| the opinion that so young and in
experienced a man is not tit for
[the place. A prominent citizen,
discussing the possible appoint
ment of Mr. McCombs, said: “If
Mr. McCombs has asked Presi
dent Wilson to appoint his
[brother or anyone’s brother to
the place of superintendent of
the Hot Springs reservation, it
can be depended upon that he
knows the man to be capable of
tilling the place. Crocers’ clerks
are usually possessed of pretty
ifair brains and require as much
'of this commodity as any other
.salesman. 1 predict tha.t if Mr.
[McCombs has asked for the
place for his brother or anyone
else, the appointee will give as
good satisfaction as any man
who has served in the capacity.”
Charles E. Penix of Tucker
man was down Saturday, ming
ling with county seat friends and
returned home on No. 24.
