.United Press Dispatch.
On Board President’s Train,
Seneca, South Carolina, August
11.—Through the Southland to
day, homage was everywhere
paid to Mrs. Wilson, a “daugh
ter of Dixie,” as the funeral
train bearing the body sped to
• Ward Rome, Georgia, for inter
ment late this afternoon.
At almost every hamlet, the
city and church bells tolled and
Crowds stood with heads bared
as a mute expression of sympa
thy to the president and family.
Even at crossroads small groups
of people offered a silent tribute
to the nation’s dead. Flowers
were presented at Spartansburg
And Greenville.
Board Elects B. C. Huddleston
B. C. Huddleston, a graduate
of Ouachita College, and a suc
cessful young teacher, has
been elected to the Seventh
Grade of the Walnut Street
school, this action having been
taken at a meeting of the board
Monday afternoon.
The board further decided that
I by reason of the district’s fin
I ancial condition, an 8 months’
term should be held to open on
Monday, September 28th and
closing May 13
Ohio To Manufacture Its Wards’
Clothes.
United Press Service.
Columbus, O., Aug. 11.—The
state of Ohio is to make clothes
for its wards in the diffeemt in
stitutions- Six new looms have
been ordered installed at once in
the state penitentiary - and
clothes for inmates will be made
at first, as soon as the new ven
ture is under way clothes will be
made for the wards in the state
hospitals, homes and other in
stitutions. Board of adminis
tration officials believe they will
effect a great saving in this way.
Ohio started in the cloth man
ufacturing business when looms
were installed at the penitentia
ry for the making of woolen
blankets for its institutions.
This proved successful and sav
ed the state many thousands of
dollars in the course of a year.
Then it was decided to enlarge
the shop to include the manu
facture of cloth for clothing.
Another new venture at the
penitentiary will be the manu
facture of automobile tags for
the state. The state now pays
out close to $50,000 a year to
private firms for license tags.
Engineers for the board of ad
ministration declare these tags
; can be manufactured by peniten
tiary prisoners for half that
amount.____

General Election September 14.

! Little Rock, August 11—
There seems to be some confus
iion in certain quarters about
the date of the general elec
tion. Sevier county, for in
stance, has just issued a procla
mation calling the election for
Monday, September 7. This is
in accordance with Section 2762
I of Kirby’s Digest, Act of Janu
ary 23, 1875, which provides
i that the general election shall
(be held on the first Monday in
I September. This was amended
by act of March 8, 1907, to read,

Bankers Working For South
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 10.—Geo
W- Rogers, president of the Ar
kansas Banker’s Association,
and cashier of the Bank of Com
merce, accompanied by Geo.
Russ Brown of the Little Rock
Board of Trade, will leave Friday
for Washington, D. C-, to par
ticipate in the gathering of
Southern bankers to consider
the cotton question.
“The difference between 6
and 16 cent cotton,” says Mr.
Rogers, “is greater in Arkan
sas than the capital stock and
surplus of all the banks in the
state. That shows what an in
tern this is to Arkansas, and
we must save to the state the j
difference between the actual j
worth of the cotton and the ,
price that will be obtained for ,
it if the government does not J
come to our assistance. -
The bankers from all over the
South will meet in Washington
Monday. We do not go to work
out something for the banker,
but for the South. We have not
even a suggestion to make at
this time, and we have no plans
about the manner in which the
j convention should proceed. We
are assisting the farmer, and
will work hand in hand with the
Farmers’ Union to solve this
question, but solve it we must,
or the South will lose millions
of dollars this year. We have
assurances from all Arkansas
Congressmen that they are
with us in this matter.”
ARMY WORM
NOW AT WORK
In Southern Part of The County
' Farmers Should Make Fight
From Start.
The army worm has made its i
appearance in the southern part
of this county. It will be ad
visable for all farmers having
cotton which is still green and
flourishing to look over their j
fields closely for any sign of the j
worms. The sooner measures j
are taken for the eradication of j
the pest, the better, not only i
for the crop infected but for 1
neighboring fields of cotton. It
doesn’t matter if one neighbor
calls pests army worms and an
other cotton worms or still a
third grass worms. If you find
worms of any color or size eat
ing your cotton leaves, it is j
time to take steps. The worms
usually attack the best cotton
first, as it is the most flourish
ing, and affords a more succu
lent food than plants on which
the leaves are burned or tough
ened by approaching maturity.
Watch your best fields, and
the best spots in your fields,
and start using poison before
it is too late.
There is no reason for alarm
if the use of poison is started in
time. Paris Green or Arsenate
of lead, either one is quite effec
tive if applied between sun
down and dark, when the at
mosphere is damp and still,
and the poisonous dust will be
1 An i/T /lmimtirn vrl 11An I V\ a
plant. It is a waste of time
and money to apply the poison
in dust form, at any time of
day, when the wind is high, and
no moisture upon the plant.
I will be glad to visit anyone
in this county who finds worms
in their fields, and render what
assistance I can. My services
will be, of course, entirely free,
even to those farmers not work
ing under government instruc
tions. A card addressed to me
here at Newport will receive my
prompt attention.

State Conventions In Lone Star
State.
United Press Service.
Dallas, Texas, August 11. —
All political parties in Texas
hold state conventions today.
The Democrats met at El Paso
for the first time. Drafting of
a state platform was the prin
cipal business, state candidates
having been been elected at the
primaries on July 28. There
was little likelihood of the con
vention disregarding the prim
ary selections.
The administration of Presi
dent Wilson was almost certain
to be sweepingly endorsed. Be
fore the convention met there
were rumors that former Sena
tor Joseph W* Bailey would at
tempt to obtain a qualified en
dorsement of the Wilson-Under
wood tariff, but administration
forces had been warned and
were here in force.
The insertion of a prohibition
plank was to be fought bitterly.
Although the sentiment of the
white Democratic voters on pro
hibition, taken on July 25, was
in favor of saloons, a fight for
a prohibition plank was to be
waged at the convention.
