Federal Court Adjourns
Batesville, Dec. 10.—This was
an unusual session of the feder
al court in Batesville. Not a sin
gle case was tried before the
jury, not a single civil case was
before the court during the ses
sion of a day and a half.
Court adjourned just at noon
toe y. and all the officials and
jurors will leave tonight for
their homes
The grand jury was an active
body and got through with its
work in quick time. Hon. S. R.
Simpson, who has just been ap
pointed deputy by District At
torney Martin, had charge of
the jury. Tt returned nineteen
bills of indictment, all of them
against men for selling liquor
j without license, and all of them
from Cleburne county.
Most all of these entered pleas
of guilty and punishment has
| been assessed. A few cases
were continued for the next
term of court, but most every
thing has been disposed of and
the docket is almost clear.
District Attorney Martin had
no work to do here, but he has
alreadv demonstrated the fact
I
that the government criminal
cases are in very competent
hands, and it will be a very hard
matter for a man to violate the
federal law in his district and
get away without punishment.
Health In Red Cross Seals.
Reel Cross Christmas Seals
are the best investment in
health any one can make- Sci
ence has demonstrated conclu
sively that tuberculosis, the
world’s greatest plague, of which
we now have over 1,000,000
cases in the United States alone,
can be prevented if these con
sumptives are properly cared
for. In other words, every con
sumptive, properly cared for,
insures your life against tuber
culosis by the prevention of fur
ther infection from that source
Red Cross Seals help to provide
hospitals, day camps, sanatoria,
dispensaries, open-air schools
and visiting nurses for the care,
cure and prevention of tubercu
losis in this community. Every
seal you buy, then, is a sound
investment in your own health
and in that of your family. Buy
your Red Cross Seals now and
i help to protect your home from
disease. They are for sale at all
our drug stores and banks.

State’s Second Electrocution.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Dec- 12.— The
second electrocution under the
act of 1913 occurred today at
the state penitentiary, when Ed
King, a negro, met his death in
| the electric chair for the murder
| of Deputy Sheriff Will Wood in
I Ashley county last October.
! There was no appeal taken in his
case, and no effort whatever to
save his life. Officer Wood had
attempted to arrest him on a
minor charge when he was shof
and killed by the black, who es
caped and was captured a fevs
j days later in Union county
State Senator J. R. Wood am
another brother and Town Mar
shal Ashcraft of Huttig, wh<
captured King, arrived Thurs
j day and were present at the ex
edition. . .St&rf.

er Kilgore, it does not appear
who is the party really interest
ed in the suit that has been
started in Pulaski Chancery
Court to enjoin the operation of
the plant and test the authority
of the Comission to operate it.
Fred Holder, the tax-payer in
whose name the suit is brought,
has no personal interest in the
matter. Comissioner Dye made
the following statement:
“If we fail in the operation of
the rock crusher it will be due
to another defect in the act
! creating the Highway Commis
sion. We are not at all surpris
ed tit the efforts of other rock
crushing concerns and certain
jpoliticians to defeat our efforts
! to do something for the people.
We recognize that it is an une
qual battle, its the State
Commission is compelled to make
i good without adequate funds, a
j gainst big corporations with un
limited resources, supported by
■ o i '-seekng politicians.

purchase road material which
has heretofore been beyond their
reach because of the excessive
price placed on it by the corpor
ations. We have proceeded far
enough to demonstrate clearly
the fact that rock crushers can
he successfully operated by the
Highway Comis. ion with con
vict labor in the manufacture of
crushed stone. A state rock
j crusher so operated is inevita
ble in Arkansas, whether the
Highway Commission is per
mitted to operate it or not, if
we are to have practcal results
in road construction.
Practical Telephony Taught.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Dec- 12.—An in
novation at the University of
Arkansas has just been intro
duced, being a course in prac
tical telephony. The electrical
engineering department has
just been presented by the
Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone Company with a
large consignment of telephone

Government Estimate Boosts
Price
The first government esti
mate on the cotton yield for
1913 was made public Friday af
ternoon the total yield for the
season being estimated at 13,
677,000 bales, which caused fu
tures to advance 20 points and
spot cotton here brought as
high as 11 3-4 cents during the
afternoon.
The government figures were
lower than those generally ex
pected by the buyers and will
help cotton prices.
At Least Knew His Value.
A native, named Appu, of Kotabana,
Ceylon, recently attacked his fathei
and mother with a mallet while they
were asleep, and nearly killed them
The excuse he subsequently gave
was that he was disgusted with hla
“miserable parents for having such a
low-down son."
