! CONTROVERSY TO FURNISH
THUNDER FOR CAMPAIGN.
Forecasters Again Assert That Murphy
and Davis Will Be Opposing Candi
dates For Governor—Trouble
Over Awarding of Con
tract Printing of Inves
tigation Testi
mony.
Little Rock, Ark., April 12.—The
investigation into the charges grow
ing out of the convict farm purchase
is n nv e ;arded as practically a clo ed
incident as far as the legislature is
concerned. It is not probable thi t
further action will be taken. The
matter will likely be threshed over in
the State campaign, with Attorney
General Murphy opposing Gov. Davis
I for the gubernatorial nomination.
Gov. Davis has announced that he
will answer the findings of the ma
jority members of the ways and means
committee at an opportune time and
place. The voluminous testimony
taken before the committee is now in
the hands of the printers, and will
make its appearance in book form in
about ten days.
INJUNCTION AGAINST DEMOCRAT.
The Central Printing Company of
Little Rock applied to Chancellor
Jesse Hart yesterday afternoon for a
restraining order to prevent the Ar
kansas Democrat Company' from
printing the testimony taken before
j the ways and means committee in the
i Gov. Davis investigation. The court
! granted a temporary restraining or
[ der and set the hearing for Monday
i morning. When the testimony—some
[ 1,400 pages—was presented to the
i house with the committee reports
Wednesday the clerk was instructed
to have 2,000 copies printed in pamph
let form and to give it to the lowest
bidder. The Central Printing Com
pany claims to be entitled to the job.
The contract for the legislative work
was awarded that company by the
State Printing Board several months
ago. _^ __
BANNER DAY’S BUSINESS.
Mr. J. M. Berger, Jr., manager of
the Star Clothing House, informs the
Independent that upon last Saturday,
that firm enjoyed the largest day’s
sales since opening up in Newport for
business, being compelled to keep
open until 12 o’clock on account of
the rush of trade.
Mr. Berger has our congratulations,
for he is progressive and up-to-date
in his methods of doing business. As
an advertiser of taBte, discretion, for
sight and liberality, we don’t believe
the state has a merchant who is more
fully appreciative of the results thus
accomplished and this paper feels a
very natural interest in his success.
May his popular store continue to
hrunlr fnrmer reem’ds.
CONFIDENT OF CONSTRUCTION.
This road is being rapidly develop
ed and before snow flies it will run
cars. The final survey has been com
menced and grade stakes are being
driven, and when completed to New
ark will open to the large manufactur
ing plants of Black Rock some of the
finest timber lands in the state, and
with a short branch up Strawberry
will reach the vast un worked mining
region of Smithville and Calamine.
We doff our hats to the energetic
promoters of this road, and congratu
late them upon the success of their
work.—Black Rock Telephone.
HEAVY RAINFALL
SUNDAY MORNING.
Between three and four o’clock Sun
day morning, Newport experienced a
downpour of rain, measuring 1.97
inches according to the Newport
guage. The storm was marked by
sharp lightning at frequent intervals
and the rain fell'in such a deluge, that
the ground soon became packed and
most of the water ran off.
White river was rising Monday and
stood at 9.6 feet on the local guage,
but as the rains at this time of the
year are chiefly showers and by no
means general, no heavy rise is ex
pected.
FURTHER ARRESTS OF
WYNNE WHITECAPPERS.
Wynne, Ark., April 12.—Additional
arrests were made yesterday for the
killing of Detective J. H. Brown of
Memphis during the whitecap inves
tigation in this county last month, as
follows: H. H. Jarnett, W. J. Clegg,
A. M. Morris, S. Morrell. The grand
jury is still in session and further de
velopments are expected.
FLINCH! FLINCH!
Just received a full supply of the
popular game of Flinch which every
body is playing.—I. D. Price. 301-dtf.
BETTER GAME THAN FLINCH.
A Lewisport merchant has discov
ered a game, which, if his calculations j
hold good, promises to take the place
of the universally popular game of j
flinch in the hearts and homes of the
people of this country. The game has (
been improved from the standard ^
flinch game and is somewhat on the
order of that game except that multi- ^
plication, subtraction, addition and di
vision are used instead of the common
rotation of numoers used in flinch.
The new game is played with the
same number of cards as flinch and
the flinch pile is used in the same way
but to be rid of your pile you must
form, with one card from your hand,'1
either a result, product or sum equal
to the card which comes up on your
flinch pile. The name of the merch- *
ant who invented this game has been 1
withheld, but it is understood that he !
has had the game patented and will;}
put it on the market in the near fu- if
ture.—Owensboro, Ky., Inquirer. *

PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY.
Expert workmen have been secured

Only first-class work will be turned
