New Election Law Proposed.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 17.— That
election law that is being work
ed out by special committee ap
pointed by the State Democratic
Convention, of which Stephen
Brundidge is chairman, is go
ing to be a drastic one, from all
accounts.
The present laws are sufficient
ly i.rastic, but courts have held
that they cannot be invoked in
primaries, and it is the primar
ies with which the people of
Arkansas have to deal.
The primary in this state is
virtually the election- There
fore the committee will devote
the major portion of its work
to the manner in which contests
may be handled, so that the con
testee may get to the bottom of
his claim; and to the qualifica
tions for voting.
Should steps be taken to pre
vent voting by those who are
ignorant and not able to handle
their own ticket, this would de
prive the election judges of
nuch of their present power, and
it is figured that it would be a

[n addition to this, the law will
require immediate returns from
all boxes.
Voting with duplicate tickets,
through the use of carbon paper,
to which the signature of the
voter may be attached, is anoth
er suggested change in the law.
It is certain that the committee
will also’propose a change in
the present manner of appoint
ment of election commissioners,
this being considered one of the
greatest evils of the present sys
tem.
Plant Fall Oats.
“Plant fall oats”, is the ad
vice of C. 0. Carpenter, the ag
ricultural agent for the Iron
Mountain in Arkansas is giving
to the farmers of the state. Mr.
Carpenter says that so many of
the farmers have fallen in with
the advanced idea of planting a
winter cover crop, that the deal
ers are finding difficulty in se
curing a sufficient amount of
seed oats, rye, crimson clover,
burr clover and alfalfa. Some
communities in order to supply
their own demand, have purchas
ed carloads of oats and have di
vided it among the purchasers
“Fall sown oats provide the
DacKoone ior a system ot crop
rotation,” says Mr. Carpenter,
“that will place the farmers who
have planted them on the other
side of the ledger, so far as feed
stuffs is concerned. They fit in
well with a system that includes
acre of oats and a crop of cow
peas, or a crop of oats and a
crop of June corn from the
same land each year. The corn
is cut early enough to save
much valuable fodder, and the
mts will protect the land from
he leaching out of the plant
’ood by the winter rains.
“With more fall oats sown,
>ur farmers will practice a sys
em of farming that will in
clude corn, then oats followed by
>eas , followed by a cover crop;
hen cotton followed by rye or
:rimson clover, or a rotation
rery similar. These rotations
nean not only larger crops of
he staples, cotton and corn, but
much more pasture and other
'eed, consequently more live
itock.”
Camille Pleases Audience.
A fair-sized audience greeted
the Gertrude Ewing Company

the play pleasing the people very
much. Miss Ewing is a favorite
on the stage in our city, having

Newport theater for a long
number of years. She is sup

School Houses Need Screens.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 16.—The in
timate relation of mosquitoes to
intellectual activity was demon
strated one day recently by
Drs. Molloy, Taylor and Garris
on of the Health Service. They
were driving through the coun
try in a southeastern county,
when they stopped at a rural
school house which presented
an attractive appearance. The
building was well built and sup
plied with modern equipment,,
and there were thirty-three pu
pils in attendance.
But many of the pupils had
chills and fever. There were
thousands of malaria-bearing
mosquitoes on the wralls and ceil
ings and the corners of the
room. The children were com
plaining that the mosquitoes
were biting them so they could
scarcely study. The teacher had
malaria.
Thus there was completed in
that building the life cycle of
the malaria spreading mosquito,
w'hich bites those afflicted with
malaria and caries the disease
to others. The physicians ad
vised that the building be
screened at once.
In an adjoining district they
found the building serened, the
sanitary conditions of the
school superior and the child
ren happy and contented and do
ing good work.
