on the levee.
1 According to guards at the
camp, which is on Amos bayou
at a crossing of the Memphis,
Helena and Louisiana railroad,
the levee was being patrolled
to prevent it being cut.
Robinson, the guards say, came
to the camp and declared that
he would not drive several head
| of cattle from a weak place on
the levee. One of the guards
! warned Robinson to stay off the
levee, and Robinson then threat
ened to cut the guard’s throat,

j Wise was in charge of the pa

i warned Robinson to leave. Rob

I the guard, it is said, and Deputy
Sheriff Wise, in defense of the
guard, shot Robinson with a re
volver, killing him. Deputy
Sheriff Wise says that Robinson
also threatened to kill him and
that he shot Robinson because
he believed that Robinson would
have killed the guard.

FIVE HUNDRED
WILL CONTEST
For Honors In Annual School

Month.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 21.—Five
hundred debaters, orators, ath
letes will contest in the annual
meet of the Arkansas schools
and colleges in Little Rock, May
1, 2 and 3- Prof. W. A. Crawford
of Russellville, and Prof. A. B.
Hill of Little Rock, treasurer
and president of the state asso
ciation, have been in consulta
tion for several days, irranging
the program for this big event.
As the oratorical end of the
meet is to be more extensive this
year than usual, the evening of
the first day, all of the second,
and the evening of the third day
will be devoted to its contests. In
past years there have been thir
teen events in this department,
this year there are nineteen.
The athletic events will take
place Saturday, May 3, with the
elimination contests in the fore
noon.
mere is aaaea inis year a
violin contest for colleges, and a
debate for both high school and
college sections. The commit
tee has announced a list of five
subjects of current interest,
which the debaters must study
on both sides of the question.
The debaters will decide by lot
what subject they will debate,
and which side they will be on,
so they must come to Little
Rock prepared to speak either
for or against any of the propo
sitions.
I
The committee has decided to
have also a contest between
male quartettes, for high schools
and colleges. The quartette
sings one selection named by the
committee and the other of its
own selection. The high school
quartettes will sing “Kentucky
Babe.”
The association has grown to
such proportions, with its 75
schools participating, that the
executive committee has decided
it must march ahead of the
schools by broadening the scope
of the association each year. It
has already been decided to en
large the athletic feature for
1914, as the oratorical end was
strengthened for this year, this
will be accomplished by adding
a Junior division. There are
now two divisions, one for high
schools and the other for col
leges. The Junior division will
take in the boys and girls in the
preparatory schools. The en
trants will be limited to 16 years
of age, 130 pounds in weight and
cannot be over 5 feet, 8 inches in
height.

Must Elect Another Physician
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 21.—Due to
the declination of Dr. Charles D.
Clark, elected as penitentiary
physician by the Board of Peni
tentiary Commissioners, t o
serve, it is now up to the Board
to make a new selection. The
Board will employ but one phy
sician in the future, or as long
as the convicts are all worked on
one farm- The penitentiary' in
the past has had two physicians,
one to look after the convicts at
j the penitentiary and in the rail
road camps, and the other to
care for the health of those on
the farm.
There are now only about 15
convicts in the penitentiary, so
no physician is needed there.
Dr. May who has been on the
farm for several years as assist
ant, or Dr. Harrison, the old
penitentiary physician, may be
selected for the appointment.
Initiate Class of 51.

Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Dal
las, Shreveport, and nearly ev
ery city of the state to the num
ber of over 300 came to Little

the initiation of a class of 51
members into the Knitrhts of
Columbus. State Deputy John
H. Vaughan of Fort Smith offi
ciated, and was assisted by the
degree team of the Little Rock
organization. All the afternoon
was spent in the initiatory ser
vices pf the first three degrees
of the order, followed by a ban
quet at night, officiated over by
James A. Gray. Bishop John B:
Morris responded to a toast.
Arkansas Homestead Buys
Back-to-the-Land.
The Arkansas Homestead of
Little Rock has purchased Back
to-the-Land, a paper established
by William R. Lighton and late
ly operated by H. G- Spaulding
at Pine Bluff, and the two papers
have been united under the
name of the Arkansas Farmer
and Homestead, with Clay Sloan
of Black Rock as agricultural ed
itor and John C. Small as man
ager. A new printing outfit has
been installed at Little Rock and
the paper is now published twice
a month. This consolidation
gives the Arkansas Farmer and
Homestead a circulation of 30,
000 and makes it one of the real
strong agricultural papers of
the South.
Unveil Monument to Southern
Women.
The Independent is in receipt
of an invitation to the unveiling
of the monument to The Women
of the Confederacy at Little
Rock Thursday afternoon, May
the first at 2 o’clock. The mon
ument has been erected by the
Confederate Veterans of Arkan
sas in memory of the women whc
did their share in the great
struggle of 1861 to 1865. The
huge granite structure will
stand on the new state capitol
grounds.
Railroad Dumps Threatened.
Forrest City, April 20.—A de
cided fall in temperature with
strong and fitful winds from the
northeast are features of the
weather that are not looked up
1 on as favorable to the flood sit
i uation. The railroad dumps ir
i the bottoms over which the
I flood waters have been pourinj
now for a period of more than
48 hours? are becoming soft and
the operating of trains over the
submerged tracks is hazardous.
The Rock Island railroad is ex
ercising great caution and, at a
number of places along its route
through the flood, trains barely
creep along today.
R. E- Sellers and family of
Marianna spent today in For
rest City. Mr. Sellers said that
crossing the L’Anguille river
this morning on an Iron Moun
tain passenger train, the steps
jof the coaches were completely
i hidden at times under the water
and that a heavy coal car loaded
with rock was pushed ahead of.
! the train through the danger
zone which covered a distance of
more than a mile at this point.
He says he was told that it
would be necessary for the Iron
Mountain to start using a trans
fer boat tonight, in order to
keep traffic open into Helena.
L’Anguille river continues to
rise slowly. Oscie Walker is
here from Palestine and says
the Rock Island dump for a
quarter of a mile is submerged
and water has just topped the
railroad bridge at that point.
Predicts Good River Fishing.
Bass fishing in White river
opened up last week and many
fine fish are being taken with
rods and reels. Fishing on the
North Fork has also opened up
and many parties are taking
their first trip in quest of the
gamest fish that swims. The
sport this year is expected to be
better in this section than for
many years past on account of
the favorable spawning season
year before last, when more
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE f
young bass were hatched out
and lived than for years. There
were no rises in the river that
year until late in the summer
and every fish that hatched had
a show to live and grow. These
fish will be fair sized this year.

Buying At Home.
Complaint is often heard that
Memphians do not purchase
Memphis-made goods, and the
complaint is found to be justi- ^
tied on investigation. A great
many manufacturing industries
in Memphis are compelled to
ship their produce to distant cit
ies in order to find a market, and
this product is frequently re
turned to Memphis in whole or
in part for distribution. In
some cases St- Louis merchants
buy the outputs of the Memphis
factories, and merely store them
in warehouses in this city, from
which they fill orders to Mem
phis merchants when called for.
This is a discouraging and an
expensive condition of affairs. It
should not exist. Cities like At
lanta buy nothing from abroad
that can be manufactured at
home, and they wiiryidmit that
ahing can be manufactured a
broad any better than it\(s man
ufactured at home. ThisN^s the
proper spirit, and should
j couraged and increased. T
economic waste in shipment and
reshipment is a dead loss, which
should be avoided, and the spirit
>f m’vicism should be strong
enough to induce people to pat* _—^
ronize their neighbors and build
up their own town.—Memphis
News-Scimitar.
