Independent's .Primary News
Service.
The Independent is the only
paper, which has come to our no
tice, which was able to publish
the day after the primary
am kind of a tabulated state
ment of the primary vote in
their respective counties and v,e
trust our readers will pardon a
mention of the fact, as a bit > i
excusable boasting.
The Independent on the after
noon following the primary gave
its readers the tabulated vote of
the county, with the exception
of two small precincts, and be
sides this, served as a news bu
reau in giving people all over
the county, who called this of
fice by telephone, the results of
the primary.
I In a few papers that left the
office early, the last columns in
the tabular vote were mixed,, but
this was corrected and the large
part of the daily edition and the
entire weekly issue, gave practi
cally the complete results in the
county.
The Independent is not due all
the credit by any means, for we
wish to thank our correspond
ents from all points for their
prompt response upon the night
of the primary.
We also wish to thank Mr. S.
J. Bennett, mjanager of the
Southwestern Telephone & Tel
egraph Company, who installed
an additional telephone in this
office and the young lady opera
tors who gave us most efficient
service.
We are also indebted to our
i good friends, Messrs. G. A. Hill
house and Claude M. Erwin, foi
help in receiving the returns tht
, night of the primary and to Mr
Harmon Younger for similai
1 work on Thursday. Mr. Young
er has complimented the editoi
with a brand new inner casing
Z his efforts in the cause o1
road building and we appreciate
and thank him for the remem,
brance. .

the duties of a newspaper tc

as to the public. The panda

Grows English Walnuts.
• Cotter, March 25.—Frank
Hoskins of Branson, Mo.,
jis making the first experiments
in this section of the Ozarks
with English walnuts.
English -walnuts have made
good in some sections of the U
S. ( particularly the coast coun-;
try of California and the North
west, and Hoskins believes that'
they will grow well in the O
;zarks, anc^ has given much study
to the subject. Switzerland pro
duces the walnuts in large quan
tities, and much information he j
obtained came from that coun
try. He has set out some trees,
which are growing well, and has
a small shipment of the seed of
the best varieties nowr on the
way from the old country to
propagate young trees from
there.
His experiments are being
watched with much interest by
the fruit growers of this section
and, if the trees grow well the
first year or two, and are not
killed by cold, a number of such
groves will be set out.

SENATOR CLARKE
STILL LEADING
Afternoon Little Rock Paper
Predicts His Election, But
Kirby Still Claims lit.
^ Independent.
Little Rock, March 27. (2 p.
m.)—The race for United States
Senator still looks like Clarke
for the winner and the I
Rock Democrat this afternoon
predicts his winning, al
nomination of George B. Cook i
over D. T. Rogers for State
Superintendent of Public In
struction and L. L- O iTman for
Auditor over Henry McCain. !
TGp fio-nres received up to this 1
afternoon by the Gazette, which
account for 125,000 votes, give '
Clarke a lead of 900, but Kirby ;
continues to claim his victory by !
10,000 and his headquarters are!
flooding the state with messages
to his friends to that effect.
The Clarke headquarters make
claim to only 4,000 majority,
but the figures there are conser
vative and more dependence may
be placed in them.
All the heavy Kirby counties,
including Nevada, in full, have
reported, except Hempstead and
Calhoun. The Clarke forces are
allowing Kirby 1,500 lead in
Hempstead and Calhoun in their
estimate and are expecting big
ger rryajorities in Eastern Ark
ansas counties, which have been
only partially reported.
Despite their claims of 10,000
majority for Kirby, the latter’s j
friends refuse to support them ,
with their money.
