j Special to Independent.
Little Rock. July 3.—The
Democratic State Central Com-1
mittee came to a speedy conclu
sion of the gubernatorial con
! test at noon Wednesday, when,
fay a vote of 19 to 8, it declared
j George W. Hays the nominee, I
j and thereby threw out the con
| test inaugurated by Col. Brun-!
didge. It was declared, in a res- i
olution adopted, as offered by I
W. F. Coleman, of Pine Bluff, j
that the contestant had failed to i
establish the charges of fraud j
that Had been made, and that
the returns show a clear major
ity of more than a thousand for i
Judge Hays.
The nomination was immedi
ately certified by the cahirman
and secretary to the Secretary of
State, but with almost as great
promptness, Col. Brundidge’s
j counsel secured from Chancellor
| Martineau a temporary re
j o v J ci J JiJUg, uiuu i yj ui t mo •
j certifying out the nomination to j
the various county commission- ]
I ers.
J This was called for final hear-1
; ing on permanent injunction at j
13 p. m. and the afternoon spent |
j by attorneys in a legal battle be- j
■ tween the two factions, without:
! reaching any definite decision.
I When court adjourned, howev
jer, the proposition seemed to be
j in a fair way to be resumed
j Thursday morning with more
I likelihood of a determination of
j the case some time during the
i day.
The Secretary of State has
until midnight Friday, under
the law, to certify out the nomi
nation, and unless enjoined from
• doing so, will at that time certi
fy out the nomination of Judge
Hays.
There will be four nominees
for governor, the following hav
ing been certified to the Secreta
ry of State:
Democratic, George W. Hays.j
Republican, Harry H. Myers.

The Heat.
The heat seldom bothers any- j
one who takes reasonable care 1
of himself, and has something J
to keep him busy. Sunday and j
vacation days are usually the ;
hottest. In New York kitchens j
the temperature runs from 117 !
to 120, and yet people work!
there without discomfort or!
loss of health. Stokers on the !
big ocean vessels, who feed |
coal into the flaming furnaces, j
are subjected to a degree of
heat that is never equaled in
or out of doors in ordinary life.
The habit of complaining grows
upon us, and men sitting under
a fan will complain of the heat, j
when if they would only look |
back they would realize that:
i they have never known what
heat really is since the days j
when they were pulling fodder |
in high corn.—Memphis News-'
i Scimitar.

Swifton Crushes Tuckerman.
Special to Independent.
Swifton, July 2.— Swifton
completely took all the baseball
aspirations out of their old
time rivals, Tuckerman, last j
Thursday, score 10 to 3.
Tuckerman, while playing
good ball were entirely out-class
ed from start to finish by their
more classy opponents. Their
invincible hurler, Nance, didn’t
have a thing that the Swifton
boys couldn’t fathom. Fanner
Massey for Swifton pitched a
strong, cool game throughout
the whole nine innings. He was
not in danger but once, when
with Mayberry on third and
Johnson on first, in the fifth,
with none down, a brilliant
throw from second by Shell
caught Mayberry at home.
Bandy, the first man up in the
first, reached second, when Mas
sey overthrew and took third,
when Ring went after the pea,
instead of stopping at third,
went on home and when Massey
dropped the throw in was declar
ed safe.
The next two were easy outs
for the outfielders.
In Swifton’s half of the first
Taylor, Ring and Cashion were
retired in order. Tuckerman
failed to score in the second, but
Shell for Swifton started the ball
to racing when with Massey on
third he tripled and scored
when Coe overthrew third.
Tuckerman was never again in
the lead. In Swifton’s half of
the 3rd, with the bases choked
Nance and his teammates went
ballooning and with 4 scores the
result. Dick Bandy’s fielding
was the only particular bright
work of the Tuckerman team.
Massey was backed up by bril
liant fielding.
