said it would take 150 gallons of
their paint to cover the build
ings.

less. It took 115.
We saved them 35 galons of
paint and painting (worth 4 to
$5 a gallon, as the painting costs
two to three times as much as
the paint) less 15 cents a gallon
Ion 115 gallons. Say $40.
That’s how to count the cost of
paint. The cost of putting it on

what that means. Go buy De

TO PAROLE
TWO BOYS
Now Serving Term In Reform
School Provided They Will
Leave State.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock. May 15.—Govern
or Futrell has not yet issued an
unconditional pardon, and will
not do so. But he had decided to
grant paroles to a couple of boys
who have been serving time in
j the Reform School, on condition 1
that they leave the state.
One of them is Mark Priola,
better known as “Mum”, a 17-,
year old Little Rock boy. vlo.
has for years been a terror to the
police. He was convicted Nov.
12, last of garnd larceny and i
| sentenced to a year in the Re-.
form School. Superintendent i
Deaton says that the school has j
done all that is possible for him,!
and that his record is clear. His
father is incapacitated and his !
mother and sister are in need of
help. They called on the govern-.
or Wednesday afternoon to.
| plead for him, and promised if
i . « i i
ne were paroieu, ne wuuiu ue ,
Isent to an aunt in LousDna and j
kept there. A brother James |
jPriola, who was also sen to the j
Reform School, escaped some j
1 time ago, and is at large.
Another boy to be paroled is j
Arthur Pointer of Benton coun- \
ty, aged 17 years, sentenced by !
Judge J. S. Maples to one year
for grand larceny. He has serv
ed eight months of his time. His \
parents have removed to Cana- j
da, and have sent money to pay j
for his transportation to their ■
new home, if he can get a par- j
ole. Under these circumstances
the governor considered that a
parole would be proper.

Complaints In Cow Lake
Drainage District.
Complaints to the assessments
of lands in the Cow Lake Drain
age District were heard Thurs
day by the district’s commission
lers: R. D. Dennis, ueorge n.
Hays and J. M. Gibson, alter
which the matter was taken be
fore County Judge C. B. Coe.
The land owners of the district
favor a ditch, but the expense of
fconstruction and the assess
ments frighten many, which
feeling has invariably attended
all these land reclamation pro
jects and doubtless always will.
'The district is well represented
| on both sides before the county

the objections made to the as

Hays Not Strong In White. <
As the campaign progresses
for governor it looks more like
Brudidge every day, Judge Hays
will get some votes of course; ■
no man could get them all. but
mark this down—out of a vote
of seventy-five thousand Brun
didge will lead his opponent a-1
bout fifteen thousand votes, and L
in our opinion will carry every !,
county in Arkansas, outside of .
Hays’ district. It will be one of '
the most complete victories for],
clean state government that I
has ever been registered by the I (
voters of this state. Mr. Hays),
has assumed that because Jeff
Davis carried White county he
will do the same. But there is .
a difference.
Judge Kirby tried this and
failed, and he is one of the best
men in Arkansas, and one of the
best lawyers, and Hays will find I
when the votes are counted that !
he is not a Jeff Davis, and that j
the voters of Arkansas do not
so regard Him.—Judsonia Ad
vance.

Baptist Revival.
Interest still grows and deep
ens in the revival at the Baptist
church. The largest week
night congregation of the series j
greeted Evangelist Taylor last j
night. The sermon was on
“How Faith Behaves Itself.” It
was, perhaps the most telling
discourse yet delivered in the
meeting. The Christian people
are coming together in an ear
nest desire for a victorious cam
paign. The line-up for a united
assault upon sin was most in
spiring. Strong men pledged
themselves and their money for
the fight. The good women sec
onded the motion and will be j
there in the thickest of the fight. |
Services tonight in church. i
_ |
Turned Into Tent Meeting.
The Baptist revival will be !
held after tonight in a large gos- j
pel tent on the lot by the church. |
Services will be suspended Fri-,
day and Saturday on account of |
Commencement. Evangelist
Taylor will return Sunday night |
and resume the preaching.

A hen Threats Are Posted On
Their Cates—Would Have

At Jacksonport. considerable
excitement has been occasioned
hrongh tlie warning of negroes
;o leave town and their subse
juent exodus. Tuesday morning
i threatening note was posted
)n some of the gates at places 1
xxupied by negroes from Proc
or, Missouri, who had been |
wrought here as employes of the 1
United States Cooperage Com-j
nany.
The note was as follows:
“Do not let the sun go down on
my of you Proctor negroes that \
ire now living in Jacksonport.”
Sheriff McCuistion was notified
md went at once to Jacksonport,
issuring the panic-stricken ne
groes that they would be protec

legroes thought it best to re
urn to Proctor, and left Jack
>onport Tuesday noon. No fur
ther trouble has occurred.
£50,000 For State High School.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 15.—The
State Board of Education will
meet in this city May 22, for
the purpose of distributing the
$50,000 state aid to high schools.
Final reports from all schools
expecting to participate in the
distribution, showing that they
have complied with the require
ments of the law, must be filed
prior to that date, with the
board. Failure to do this will
make it impossible for the board
to make final payment of the
state aid. Several schools last
year lost this money through the
neglect of the teachers and
school officers to make these re
ports as required by the law.
For Sale.
Steamer Columbia and Barge.
Both newly overhauled and in
perfect repair. Passed govern
ment inspection and ready for
immediate use. Now at Corn
ing, Arkansas. Must be sold
at once—a bargain for cash.

Reception For Senior ( lass.
The members of the Senior
(’lass of 1913 were the honor
guests Wednesday evening at an
elaborate reception tendered
them by the Junior Clafts.
The beautiful new audiorium
and halls on the first floor were
attractive for the evening.
The library and office were
prettily arranged in the Junior
colors of pink and green in
which Killarne.v roses and ferns
were used. In the teachers’ rest
room red and white carnations
were used to splendid advantage
to carry out the Senior colors.
A stringed orchestra furnish
ed music, and brick cream, cake
and punch were nicely served
during the evening.
After the reception closed at
10:30 most of the crowd went to
the Elks’ Home, where dancing
was enjoyed until midnight.
The entire affair was elegant
in every feature and proved the
Junior class to be most excellent
hostesses, who will, no doubt
make themselves known one
year hence as the Seniors of
1914.
i ne class is compuseu uj

Newport Defeats TuckermanX^
The Newport and Tuckerman
High School teams played a
snappy game of ball at Sports
man’s park Wednesday after
noon, Newport shutting out the
visitors by a score of 13 to 0.
Ryan, the little twister for the
locals, had something on the
Tuckerman lads, they could
never solve and in pinches was
very effective.
For Tuckerman, Cook opened
on the mound, but was hit free
ly and supplanted by Dick Ban
dy. Bevans, Umsted and Hirsch
figured in the excellent work of
the home boys, both in the field
and at the bat.
