of the School Improvement

ment of Education, has return
ed after three and a half

where
She made an investigation of
the rural school work where- j
ever she went, delivering lec

systematic work done for the
advancement of the rural school

Kirby Attacks Clarke’s Record.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 2.—Associ
ate Justcie W. F. Kirby today
made public a letter to th'e vot
ers of the state, announcing his
candidacy for the United States
Senate, to succeed Senator Jas.
P. Clarke. He says that he ex
pects to make an active canvass
of the state before the primaries.
He says in the course of his let
ter:
“My opponent, Senator Clarke,
seeks a third term, while clos
ing twelve years service in the
Senate. Of him he said, ‘I did
by his own estimate of the ca
reer of his predecessor in the
Senat. Of him he said, ‘I did
not say he has not done well.
He has done well for himself,
but not for the people. He
has done more for himself and
less for the people than any
man who has ever long held
high public office in the state.’ ”
One Legged Boy a Walker.
James O. Hayes, a one legged
boy from Memphis and H. D.
Smith a companion, were here
Thursday, having set out on a
long cross country tramp. San
Francisco is their prospective
destination and they propose to
see the Panama Exposition in
the Golden Gate city.
They are averaging about 25
miles per day, which is a rather
fast pace for a crippled boy, who
walks upon two crutches. They
are selling a small whistle
which Hayes himself makes, in
order to secure their traveling
expenses. Just now they are
complaining of the recent rains
about as much as the farmer
who has been kept out of his
cotton field.

Thus far we have had a splen

District Conferences our reports
have been quite encouraging.
Through generous donations and
hearty co-operation a good home
for the pastor has been complet
ed and best of all we have had a
generous revival. So we have
passed the second and third mile
post of the conference year with
heads up and with grateful
hearts to Almighty Cod and to
each other. Now what of the
home run ? What we do within
the next two monthswill answer.
.May we not count on you for
each ami every one for the home
stretch? Come out Sunday
night and hear discussions we
trust will be profitable and sing
ing that will be inspiring. Prof.
Hubbard will have charge of the
choir.
