County Equalization Boards.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock. July 7.—Govern
or Futrell will probably name the
; county equalization boards this
week, as he has now the requir
; ed data on most of the counties,
i In former years the members of
| these boards were appointed
| largely through political pref
J erence, but Governor Futrell has
: declared he will make no ap
jpointments except where the
person possesses knowledge of
; property values of the county,
and those connected with per
J sons who have been accused of
J tax dodging, will be especially
! overlooked.
Governor Futrell will also dur
ing the week make the appoint
mprit nf & fa hnnl* Pvomtrov
It was thought this was settled
several weeks ago, but complica
tions arose which prevented an
early appointment.
An Explanation.
In reference to the criticism
of one of the ablest divines in
Newport in which he asks the
city officials to stop swearing on
i the streets. Now the object of
this discussion was an elderly
country man, not angrily cuss
ing, but cussing merely from the
habit, would I arrest him? Has
it ever been done? Is it stopped
in the churches where he has an
authority? After the preacher
passed on I spoke to the country
| man and asked him to be more
| careful, with an assurance that
I he would and did not know he
, was out of the ordinary. While
II never swear I will admit his
quotations are true. People
cussed then, cuss now and will
! cuss when he is not here to crit
I icise them. In the General Epis
1 tie of James will be found an
ideal: “Pure religion and unde
, filed before God and the Father
, is this: To visit the fatherless
and widows in their affliction
| and to keep himself unspotted
ifrom the world.”

Rape Supplements torn Crop.
A valuable little pamphlet en
i titled “Rape as a Supplement to
iCorn” has just been gotten out
! by the Agricultural Department
| of the Missouri Pacific-Iron
| Mountain. This circular was is
sued and is being distributed to
farmers along the lines of the
road, in view of the recent
drought and consequent damage
to the corn crop in many sec
| tions of the West and South
| west. It shows the proper time
| to plant rape and the methods
to be used in sowing to obtain
! the best results, and points out
j the advantages to be gained by
!a judicious use of this forage in
! the feeding of sheep and hogs,
i Figures obtained in tests at the
! Iowa Experiment Station are
| given which show that, compar
^ed with pigs fed in dry lot, for
age fed pigs increased profits
more than five fold in many
cases.

BOTH SIDES
PRESENT BRIEES
And Argument Before Supreme
( ourt In Appeal From Mur
tineau Injunction.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 7.—Both
sides filed briefs in the election
contest in Supreme court today,
alter which arguments were
made before the court. A decis
ion is expected before the end of
the week. There was nothing
new in brief or argument, the
proceedings held before’ Chan
cellor Mi rtineau being reviewed,
with his restraining order to
prevent Secretary of State E. W.
Hodges from certifying Judge
Geo. W. Hays as the Democratic
nominee.
Headquarters were establish- j
ed today by the State Central
Democratic Committee, which
will be in charge of A. J. Wals,
chairman of the committee, and
W. G. Hutton, secretary. The '
committee will back its decision !
that Geo. W. Hays is the nomi-:
nee and make a vigorous cam
paign for his election. Judge I
Hays returned from Camden
Sunday and spent a good portion j
of Sunday in conference with j
the committeemen, and arrang-1
i
mg tor a campaign.
Stephen Brundidge will re-;
turn to Little Rock today from
Searcy, id R. F. Milwee, his
campaign manager- will come
from Clarendon. Col. Brundidge
has never stated whether or not
he would make a canvass of the
state and contest in the election,
but friends insist that he will be j
forced into such a campaign, af-!
ter making the contest in the
courts. They declare that it was
friendly judges and clerks over '
the state, selected by machine
politicians, who made it possible
for the returns to show in favor
of Judge Hays, and the judges
and clerks for the general elec
tion will be selected by the coun
ty election commissioners, thus
giving Brundidge a show he did
not have the first time.
No matter what the decision
of the Supreme court may be, it
is probably too late to have a
Democrat on the ticket, and this
will leave it open for the voters
to write in the name of Brun
didge or Hays, according to their
choice.
7,000 Welcome Brundidge.
Searcy, July 6.—Upon his ar
rival in Searcy last night former

biles, carriages and on foot. He
was accompanied by a brass
band to Court square, amid the
blowing of factory whistles and
shouts of the people which her
alded him as “The rightful Dem
ocratic nominee for governor of
Arkansas.”
Mr. Brundidge spoke for 30
minutes from a platform espec
ially erected on Court square.
He was introduced by Mayor M.
H. Greer. In the beginning. Mr.
Brundidge expressed his grati
tude for the reception given him
by his fello'vV-townsmen and as
sured his hearers that he
the rightful nominee of the
Democratic party by a majority
of 7,000 or more votes. He de

sands of good Democrats
throughout Arkansas, when he
said: “I had rather be a dog
and bay at the moon than to so
debase my citizenship, degrade

principle of honesty of govern
ment, by placing the brand of
shame and crime upon the proud
brow of Democracy in giving
to her nominee a tainted certif
