BARREL BOOZE
At Home of Henry CoUins At
Tupelo — Wagon Traced
From Newport.
There has been compaint of il
licit whiskey selling at Tupelo
for some time and Sheriff Mc
Cuistion upon a recent visit to
Little Rock found that two par
ties in that town held govern
ment license to sell liquor. Last
Friday, he was given a tip that
Tupelo parties were here in a
wagon supposedly to buy booze.
Deputy Sheriff J. I. Hasting
was detailed to shadow the par
ties and late that afternoon, the
wagon was discovered at the
rear door of a saloon loading a
barrel.
That night Sheriff McCuistion
and Deputy Hasting, armed
with search warrants already se
cured, left for Tupelo. They
passed the wagon near Au
vergne, but in the darkness, the
occupants knew naught of the
officers being upon their trail.
No action was taken that
night, but next morning assisted
by Constable Harris, the officers

dences, as follows;
Henry Collins grocery store,
seven quarts and a pint of whis
key found here, also a barrel of
malt ale, which is to be tested.
W. W. Robinett, general store,
six or eight barrels of malt ale
found.
Elijah Slack, a negro’s house,
nothing found.
Henry Collins’ house, 1 barrel
of whiskey containing 17 quarts
and the remainder in pints.
When Collins found that the
officers intended to search his
house, he admitted the location
of the liquors.
The trial of these cases was
set for Wednesday, June 11 be
fore Esquire A. B. Collier.
Pearl Fishers Busy.
Norfork, June 7.—Pearl fish
ers are beginning to work now
in this section, and many are
going into the river hunting for
the jewels. The White river is
getting low and in a few days
will be in fine shape for this
work. Markets have been open
ed for shells and the pearl fisher
.. «• « i At*
row gets tne iun oenem ui ins
labor. It has been only lately
that he could sell the shells in
this part of the country. The
shells, as a usual thing, pay him
well for his labor, and what
pearls he finds are velvet. The
first pearl to be found this seas
on was found here yesterday by
George Smothers, and was val
ued at $25.

At a meeting of the officers of
the Jackson County Good Roads
Association held in this city

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 9.—The con
tests for Federal plums in Lit
tle Rock is now getting keen,
and opposition is cropping up to
persons who were supposed to
have a clear field.
Prbably the first appointment I
to be announced will be in the
Register of Lands. Guy Caron,
who has held this position since (
the resignation of Harry Myers
several years ago, has forward-;
ed his resignation to Washing-j
ton, and will step out as soon as !
his successor is appointed and j
qualifies. The resignation of
Register Caron was demanded i
several weeks ago, the resigna
tion of John E. Bush, Receiver
of Lands, being asked for at the :
same time. The term of Regis- i
terCaron expires June 13, and he
had no objection to complying j
with the request, but Bush has
over a year to serve, and declin
es to tender his resignation.
Bush is a negro and has served
ir. this capacity for 15 years, j
Captain Berry, who has been a ;
deputy m tms department ior :
years is a candidate to succeed j
Caron.
The race for Internal Revenue
Collector seems to have narrow-!
ed to James S. Barkman and M. j
P. Hutton of Little Rock, Bark- i
man has been deputy in this of- j
lice for many years, and has just
returned from Washington,
where he presented several large
volumes of recommendations
from leading business men of j
the state. Hutton is a brother j
of Sheriff Will Hutton, and is a j
deputy in his office.
Though it had been supposed
all along that James H. Harrod,!
the acqnowledged original Wil-'
son man in Arkansas, would
have no opposition for United
States District Attorney for the
Eastern District, it now appears j
as though this race is to be a
spirited one. S. D. Campbell of
Newport; Nick Gantt of Pine I
Bluff and L. E. Sawyer of Hot
Springs, all prominent lawyers,
are the other applicants for the
place.
W. E. Floyd, secretary of the
Arkansas Railroad Commission,
and Judge Walls of Jeb, appar
ently have no opposition for the
positions of postmaster of Lit
tle Rock, and United States Mar-!
shal for the Eastern District, j

Negro Shot Near Grand Glaize. j
Reports reached the city Sun- (
day night of a negro being shot j
on the Zack Calhoun place near j
Grand Glaize. The shooting
took place Sunday night and Dr.
L. E. Willis was summoned to j
dress the wounds of the injured
negro next morning.
Delinquent Tax Sale Held.
The delinquent tax sale for
Jackson county was held at the!
court house Monday afternoon
by Sheriff McCuistion. The num- j
ber of advertised tracts this
year showed a large increase
over last year, but when the
time of sale arrived, over half of
these delinquents had paid their
taxes and penalties.

SUPREME COURT
MODIFIES DAMAGES
In Appeal of Iron Mountain Ver
sus L. L. Campbell—David
son Case Affirmed.
Snecial to Independent.
Little Rock. June 9.—The su
preme court today modified the
udgment of the Jackson circuit
court in the appeal of the Iron
Mountain versus L. L. Campbell.
The appellee in the lower court
had secured judgment for dam
ages in the sum of $213 because
of the railway company’s fail
ure to deliver appellant’s trunk,
containing wearing apparel in
time for appellee to wear same
at prenuptial functions.
The supreme court allowed
damages for actual expenses in
■telegrams locating the trunk, al
so for the state penalty, but cut
out the money spent for clothing
and damages for the inconveni
ence through the loss of trunk.
The judgment was thus modi
fied to about one half the dam
ages given by the jury.
Davidson to Hang.
In the appeal of Odus David
son, the young man of Boone
county who was convicted of
murder in the first degree for
the atrocious killing of Miss Ella
Barham, the finding of the low
er court was confirmed.
The attorneys for Davidson
had contended that the failure
ot the Harrison court to have
Davidson in the room when the
jury returned a verdict of mur
der in the first degree against
him, set aside the verdict and
Davidson could not be twice
placed in jeopardy for his life.
The judgment of the higher
court probably removed from
this young man and his family
any real hope of preventing his
execution upon the gallows.

COTTON REPORTS
ALL FAVORABLE
I
Much Progress Made In Growth
and Cultivation of Crop
Over South.
Without exception great pro
gress was made in the growth
and cultivation of cotton in ev
iery state of tlie South during
the week. It is seldom that
such universally favorable con
ditions obtain over so large an
area. Where needed rains fell.
Where drv hot weather was de
j sirable—as in Texas—that con
dition obtained. So that on the
'whole the period passes without
complaint.
j j
i A marked gain in percentage
I condition is indicated for the
I three Atlantic states and Alaba
ma while the Mississippi Valley j
i and the western belt have main
tained the high figures previous
; ly reported. Soil conditions with ;
‘ unimportant local exceptions are
! excellent from North Carolina j
to Texas and some of the east
ern correspondents note that the j
weather has promoted the utili
zation of fertilizers applied in
those districts since their sub
j stance has not been leached out
' by excessive rainfall.
I
Such drawbacks as are men
tioned arise from conditions pre
ceding the past two weeks. Boll
weevils are numerous in south- j
era Mississippi and Louisiana
more so than is usual for the
season, correspondents say.
In Georgia and the Carolinas
sufficient stands or nearly so
lave been attained but the size

vhich may quickly be remedied

Ticks Almost Eradicated.
Norfork, June 8.—Oscar Leon
ard, a government tick inspector,
employed in the tick eradica
tion work in this section of the
date, was here yesterday sprav
ng cattle at this station. He
■lays that the county will likely
be released this fall, and that
no ticks have been found in the
county between the forks of the
White river and the North
Fork. “Just a few isolated cas
2f like this one, and then we
ire done,” he stated.
The tick fight was started in
Baxter county four years ago,
when cattle were dying in large
numbers. Since the work start
ed no cattle have died in this
county: there have been no
more epidemics. The farmers
over the county feel much elat
ed over the success of the work,
as it brings them a much high
er price for their stock. This
was proven last year, when cat
ile from localities free from
ticks brought several dollars a
head over the same kind of cat
Me coming from unclean areas.
