Entered at the postoffice, Newport, :

D. Ward King was brought to
Newport, not as a climax or cul
mination of a whole lot of good
roads fever and agitation, but to
start something; to get pion
eers in the various sections of'
the county to use the road drag,
to test its merits for in doing so
they will create good roads.
Build the. road in front of your
own farm and it will not be long
till your neighbor is following
your example and the benefits to
you increase, as the work
spreads from community to
community until great stretches
uf our public thoroughfares be
come real highways. Be a pion
eer in this upbuilding of Jack
son.
Judge Celia of Miller county
will have the county roads in
good condition in a few weeks,
and at a nominal expense, by the
use of split-log drags.—Texark
nna Four States Press.
Merely the information that
Judge Celia was putting the Mil
ler county roads in good condi
tion would suggest that split-log
drags were being used. The ad
ditional information that the
roads will be put in good condi
tion at nominal expense would
make the conclusion all the more
warranted that split-log drags
were being used, for they fur
nish the means by which roads ]
may be put in good condition at
nominal expense.—Little Rock
Gazette.
Credit at the bank is one of
the greatest assets a farmer can
have. It increases his ability to
buy and sell; it places him in
the class with other business
men; it places a certain guaran
tee upon the products he has for
sale, which enables him to sell
to the best advantage; it se
cures favors from the banker
and others when these are need
ed. Open an account with the
bank and take the banker into
your confidence.— Farm and

If he had been on program for
a two hours’ sermon, the editor
of one of our exchanges could
not have expounded more truths
than is contained in the append
ed few lines. Hear him and
grasp the naked, unvarnished,
truth contained in each sentence:
“‘The man who has enemies
amounts to something. He is a
live man. He is a fighter. Peo
ple don’t kick a corpse. A live
man can swim against the cur
rent : a corpse floats down with
out hindrance. God bless our en
emies. We love them. They
make life worth living.’—Searcy
Daily News.
Compensating Innocent Persons.
Gov. McGovern of Wisconsin
has signed the Holmes bill pro
viding that the state shall com
: pensate innocent persons who
I.'-' are sent to prison through an er
ror of justice.
It is time that all states awak
^ en to the fact that this is but a
right and just thing to do.
Other states have enacted
’ similar laws and congress, at its
last session, saw fit to make the
national government responsi
ble for similar errors made in
the federal courts of the coun
try. As writers in the Ameri
can journal of Criminal Law and
criminology have pointed out on
numerous occasions, the princi- ■,
pie of compensation for wrong!
done to the individual is just in
theory and works safely in prac-'
tice.
It is not the government
which should be held responsible
for the mistakes of the states
Each state should look to its
own. Nrw Jersey was the first
to act. A similar measure is
now pending before the Pennsyl
vania Legislature.
As a matter of common honor,
when an individual is injured
through a mistake of justice,
the state should make amends
for it.
To think that a man, wholly
innocent of wrong-doing, should,
through a miscarriage of the
law, be sentenced to prison and
serve, even a year, for the
crime of another, and when the
truth is discovered be discharg
ed without remedy, redress or
recourse, is eminently unfair.
When a man leaves prison, ev
en if he be innocent, it is difficult
to live down his misfortune.
There will always be people who
will point out that he was once
a convict.
The poor devil who served the
State of Pennsylvania for 20
yeahs and who was finally releas
ed when the death-bed confes
sion of an old enemy exonerat
ed him, is a pitiful example of
how unjust the law may some
times be. He came through the
gates of the prison into a
strange world. He was a stran
ger even in his home city. His
family had scattered over me
country; his wife was dead.
For twenty years he had devot
ed his best muscle and sinew to
the interests of Pennsylvania.
He had toiled—unrecompensed
—for his state.
This n.an was entitled to pay
for the work he had done. Be
fore entering prison he had re
ceived $G.OO a day. The author
ities recognized his right, but
the laws did not, so He was sent
out into the world, a wanderer,
with $5 in his pocket.
Innocent persons imprisoned
should be compensated.—Com
mercial Appeal.
Black River Men Quarrel.
Batesville, June 2.—As the
result of a quarrel of a year’s
standing between Charles Brick
ey and George Ashley, there was
a bloody duel at Black River
postoffice, near Charlotte, in the
eastern part of this county, Sun
day.
As reported here, an attack
was made upon Brickey by
Jeorge Ashley, Theo Stone, Riley
Mulligan and Bob Mulligan, all
of whom are said to have fired
upon him. Brickey returned
the fire, and there was a rapid
running interchange of shots
between tne two nostiie parties.
Ashley and Stone were serious
ly woundfed, and are not expect
ed to recover. The Mulligans
were slightly wounded, but so
far as known Brickey was unin
jured.
It is believed heVe that Brick
ey will come to the city and sur
render.
National Guard’s Support Sure.
Special to 'Independent.
Little Rock, June 3.—The Ar
kansas National Guard is now
safe until the next legislature
meets and makes an appropria
tion for its maintenance, a
thing which it failed to do at the
iast session. The amount neces
sary to meet the expenses of
the Guard has been raised,
$1000 being donated by the
commercial organizations of
Little Rock, and the other $1000
by popular subscriptions.
In consideration for the dona
tion from the cohimercial organ
izations, Little Rock will receive
the annual encampment of the
Guard, which will take place in
the early fall- The second $1000
was raised by Adj. Gen B. W.
Green, Major R. M. Pearson and
Brig. Gen. W. K. Surridge. The
balance of the money required to
maintain the Guard is given by
the U. S. government.

Heart Disease Almost
Fatal to Young Girl
"My daughter, when thirteen year*
•M. was stricken with heart trouble,
lb# was so bad we had to place bar
bed near a window
so she could got
her breath. One
doctor said, ‘Poor
child, she Is likely
to fall dead any
time.' A frlen*
told me Dr. Miles*
Heart. Remedy had
cured her father,
so I tried it, and
she began to im
prove. She took
a great many bot
tles, but she In
spared to me to
day, a fat, rosy
cheeked girl. No one can imagine the
confidence I have in Dr. Miles’ Heart ,
Remedy.’’ A. R. CANDN, Worth, Mo.
The unbounded confidence Mr.
Canon has in Dr. Miles’ Heart Rem
edy is shared by thousands of
others who know its value from
experience. Many heart disorders
yield to treatment, if the treatment
is right. If you are bothered with
short breath, fainting spells, swell
ing of feet or ankles, pains about
the heart and shoulder blades, pal
pitation, weak and hungry spells,
you should begin using Dr. Miles'
Heart Remedy at once. Profit by
the experience of others while yd*
may.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remsdy Is ssld and
