GOVERNOR AT NEWPORT.
Discusses Senatorskip and Governorship
With Jackson County Voters at Court
House Wednesday Afternoon.
—xj
A small but a representative
crowd of Jackson County voters
heard Governor Davis in the cir
cuit court room Wednesday after
, noon discuss the issues and men
of the present campaign. The
j speaker never fails to get down
on a level with and get into a
4 good humor, his crowds and his
knocks and raps were too good
to let pass without laughter and
applause. He seemed chagrined
over the smallness of his aud
ience, as the seating capacity of
the court room was not exhaust
ed and laid the failure to “set
the woods afire” in Jackson
county to lack of advertising his
date here.
He reviewed the acts of his
administration, the fight against
the trusts and for higher railroad
assfcasments, showing how much
more the latter contributed in
taxes than under any previous
governor. He took" a shot at
Senator Berry here, as to how
the railroads had escaped taxa
tion on a large part of their prop
Awfir /liunnor Kifl' administration
under an unconstitutional act
and how Governor Hughes, his
successor, had forced them to
pay taxes on all their holdings.
Berry was also scored for his
vote against the Hatch anti-op
tion bill. The governor urged
upon the fanners united action
in the holding of their cotton for
reasonable prices and in favor of
legislation to stop the specula
tivVWffig and~ selling of cot
ton, which fixed the price against
. theiaejojgr. ^m he termed a
slave under present conditions
to the gamblers in futures.
Toward the wind-up of his ad
dress Governor Davis hopped in
to the gubernatorial arena, to
give expiession to his opinion of
the popular attorney-general
whom he cannot control, Bob
Rogers. He declared that he
could afford to be beaten for the
senate, but he or any honest
man could not afford to see Rog
ers governor and he wished the
newspapers to so quote him.
He told his story of purchas
ing the Rogers note endorsed by
Cook, the boodler, and had a
bunch of the lithographed dup
licates to distribute. He left
for Rogers to tell the name of
the disreputable friend he secur
ed the note from and warned the
voters against Rogers, whom he
feared might pardon Cox f and
Cook after Rhoton secured their
(innuintinn
After making a strong plea
for the support of Jackson county
in his race for the senate, he
closed his two hours address and
left at once for his appointment
at Tuckerman that night. No
reference was made by him to
his refusal to sup with Powell
Clayton.

C“
CLARK-MUSTIN.
A wedding of much interest
to their Newport friends was the
marriage of Mr. John Clark and
Miss Odie Mustin of this city,
which happy event took place at
the Methodist parsonage Wed
nesday evening at 8:30, Rev. M.
B. Umsted, of the Methodist
church officiating.
The wedding service was a
quiet one, being witnessed only
by the relatives of the bride and
groom.
For the ceremony Mrs. Clark
wore a handsome traveling gown
of blue cloth, with hat and gloves
in harmony.
Immediately after the cere
mony Mr. and Mrs. Clark left
on the cannon ball for Little
Rock, where they will visit rela
tives for a week before return
ing to Newport, which will be
their home.
Many beautiful and useful
presents from friends in and out
of the city attested the popu
larity of this young couple.
' The Independent joins the
friends of Mr. Clark and his
lovely bddem wishing for them
all the happiness allotted those
who plight their vows in holy
wedlock.
Piano Recital.
An appreciative audience as
sembled in the Coterie rooms
Wednesday evening to enjoy the
piano concert given by Mr. James
|M. Porter, who thoroughly es
j tablished himself in the minds of
i the people as to his ability as
; teacher and performer,
i His strong, sure touch, his
] ease, the rhythm of his music in
| the most intricate passages,
prove him to be a pianist not
often to be found on the concert
stage.
Following is the program:
1. Concerto, op. 25, Allegro
movement.Mendelssohn
2. Valse Lente.Dolmetsch
3. Carnival, op. 26.Schumann
4. Impromptu, G major. Schubert

John D. Rockefeller, denied
the solace of teaching a Bible
| class because of his physical con
dition, is learning to play the
I violin. He is said to be making
; considerable progress, though as
; yet he is the rawest kind of an
j amateur. He was rather dis
i couraged the other day when a
friend told him of Victor Her
' bert’s advice as to learning to
master the "cello. ‘ ‘Simplest
thing in the world. All you
; have to do is to buy y our ’cello,
j secure a competent instructor
land then practice about eight
|hours a day for three years.”

THROUGH TO CARTHAGt.
Tetegrafhk Connection is Made w
White River Line and Through
Trains Promised This Month.
Little Roc?;, Nov. 1. —Today at
8:58 a.m. the telegraph line along
the White River railroad was
connected up from Little Rock
through to the northern termin
us. This announcement is in
deed welcome news to those whc
have long looked for the com
pletion of the railroad through
the northern portion of the state.
It is stated that the railroad
lacks nine miles of completion,
but the telegraph line is-an ac
complished fact and the business
of the cempany is being earned
over it today. It is learned that
some time will elapse before the
wire is opened for commercial
business, but the physical con
nection was made today and the
wire is working.
The line from Diaz to Cotter
was completed some two years
ago and is not now considered a
part of the new line, which ex
tends from Cotter to Aurora, a
distance of 108 miles. Work was
commenced on this stretch July
9, 1904, and was for some reason
suspended January 25 of the
present year. Work was re
sumed May 15 and completed to
day.
Every effort is being made to
complete the line of railroad
through by November 23, the
date of the opening at Cotter,
and from present indicatione it
appears that this is possible.
From employes returning from
the front, however, it is learned
that there remain two bridges tfi
construct within the nine milee
yet to build, and that little or nc
material ?9 now oh the ground.
I The cost of the telegraph line
j completed this morning is some
thing over $30,000, considering
that portion from Cotter to Au
rora.
