Growing Cotton To Buy Corn.
Mr. H. G- Hastings of Atlanta,
Ga., has published the following
somewhat startling statement
of the production of the money
crop in Georgia last year and of
the farm products that were im
ported into Georgia from other
states:
GROWN IN GEORGIA AND
SOLD.
1.800.000 bales of cotton
at $60_$108,000,000
900.000 tons of cotton seed
at $30_ 27,000,000
i $135,000,000
GROWN ELSEWHERE AND
SOLD IN GEORGIA.
Corn purchased in 1912
_$58,930,000
Hay purchased in 1912
_ 23,680,000
Oats purchased in 1912
_ 39,336,000
Miscellaneous feeds.. 2,550,000
Meats, dairy and poul
try products_ 48,000,000
$172,496,000
These items of food for man
and beast cost $37,496,000 more
than the cotton brought. The
point is that practically every
bushel of tjrtis corn and oats and
every pmjmd of hay and all this
meat poultry and dairy pro
ducts^ould have been produced
ii^reorgia at a profit, in addition
to the cotton.—The World’s
Work.
several papers.
We believe the appearance in
the Commercial Appeal of the
cartoons complained of is an in
dication of over-sightedness or
indifference on the part of the
publishers of that staunch old
democratic paper as to their real
significance, rather than of hos
tility to the administration, for
nothing of a nature hostile to |
the president has ever appeared !
in its editorial columns. On the
contrary, the Commercial Ap
peal seems bent on doing what it'
can to sustain the president. At
the same time, the “Uncle Trus-1
ty” cartoons do the administra
tion no good, and they bring into
question of the motives of all '
democratic papers that use
them.—Fort Smith Times Rec

BRIDGE SCHOOL HOUSE.
From some unknown cause,
our preacher, the Rev. J. W.
Hawkins, failed to fill his ap
pointment at the school house
Sunday, making twice this
i month that we people have been
I disappointed. Perhaps he will
be disappointed next time him
self.
The good people of this place
organized Sunday school Sunday
evening, with Mrs. John Harri
son, superintendent, Mrs. Sarah
Rorex, assistant superintendent,
and Mrs. Sarah Rorex, Mrs.
Claude Harris, Ollie Jenkins and
W. McDaniel, teachers. Taylor
Keton was chosen as secretary.
Everyone is urged to attend Sun
day school and help to make it a
success.
Mr. Laurence Hughes and
family are to visit Mrs. Campbell
and family Sunday, making the
first visit in a long time.
Mr. John Campbell and family
went driving Sunday and went
to Will Floyd’s on a pleasure
trip, enjoying the trip fine.
Mrs. S. Bergin’s mother from
Hoxie was on a visit last week to
her daughter, who returned with
her mother to spend a few days.
Will McNeal and wife were to
visit Mr. Couch’s family Satur
day and Sunday.
J. P- Campbell and Bud Mur
phy took a big trip to Mr. Goetz’
on a big hunt for some cattle.
Mrs. Henson was buried Mon
day at 3:30 at the Arnold grave- I
yard after being sick one week I
with pneumonia. She was 82
years old and came here from
! Oil Trough.
Warner Chance and wife from
Alicia were down Wednesday.

“Uncle Trusty” Cartoons.
The character of “Uncle Trus
ty” cartoons being run in the
Commercial Appeal would indi
cate that paper is sore at the
democratic administration. We
trust it isn’t nursing a rejected
ambassadorial application. —
Texarkanian.
The “Uncle Trusty” cartoons
are supplied by the “Agency”
, of W. R. Hearst to the papers
that use them, and are one of
the means by which that queer
person is attempting to create
prejudice against the Wilson ad
ministration. Hearst was oppos
ed to the nomination of Wilson,
gave him only half-hearted sup
port during the campaign, an is,
at present, openly making war

Reynolds Praises Successor.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 2.—Dr. -J. H.
Reynolds, acting president oi
the University of Arkansas,
passed through Little Rock
Thursday en route to Wynne,
where he speaks to the pupil> of
the schools today. He will go
from there to Harrisburg, where
he will deliver a commencement
address, and then to Danville i.o
again speak for the graduates of
the schools.
Dr. Reynolds would not discuss :
the proposition of his becoming
president of Hendrix College,
saving he had not been ap
proached with any proposition,
and as far as he knew at the
present -time, he would continue
with the University in the His
tory department.
Although he was proposed for
the presidency of the Universi
ty, Dr. Reynolds delights in the
selection of Dr. J. H. Kirkland
of Vanderbilt for the presidency.
“The South has no greater ed
ucator than Dr. Kirkland,” stat
ed Dr. Reynolds yesterday, “and
he and the president of the Uni
versity of Virginia are the two
leading educators of the Soutn
and Arkansas took a great jump
upward the minute Dr- Kirk
land was elected president of the
institution. I am confident he
Will accept the position which
has been tendered him.”
On the night of the election,
Dr. Reynolds sent a message to
Dr. Kirkland, inviting him to
come West and help the country
grow.
ENTIRELY BALD
Her Hair Commenced to Grow
After Two Weeks’ Use of
Newbro’s Herpicide.
“Fever caused me to be entire
ly bald. I had given up all hope
of again having hair when I was
advised to use Herpicide. After
two weeks my hair commenced
to grow. I now’ have the most
beautiful head of hair anyone
ever saw'. Praise to Newbro’s
Herpicide.”
Thus writes Mrs. Howrard Bai
ley, of Bellevue,,Mich. We can
point to thousands of instances
where the proper use of Herpi
cide has been followed by a re
markable growth of hair.
Newbro’s Herpicide is “the
original remedy which kills the
dandruff germ” and stops fall
ing hair
Applications may be obtained
at the best barbers and Hair
dressers.
Newbro’s Herpicide in 50 cent
and $1.00 sizes is guaranteed to
do all that is claimed. If you are
not satisfied your money will be
refunded.
