150 Horses Die From Anthrax.
Little Rock, August 3.—A re
port was received from Tillar by
the Deparement of Agriculture,
j to the effect that 150 horses
have died in that vicinity since
j the recent outbreak of anthrax
| The penitentiary commissioners
: report that they fear the dis
ease will get among the stock
on the state farm. An outbreak
is also threatened at Morrell,
!'Ash ley county. Dr. Gow, the
state veterinarian, is very busy
looking after the cattle in the
I; various foci of infection to de
1 stroy all dead animals, and seg
1 gregate the well animals from
|the sick. The circular says:
I “The well animals should be
: moved from the barns or yards
containing the sick ones, and
not allowed to graze where the
sick ones became infected- All
stables should be thoroughly
disinfected. The animals that
die should be buried and quick
lime spread over them, or burn
ed- The disease has been known
to break out from grazing in
fields where an animal has been
buried as long as three years be
fore. It is best to burn the dead
animals. If they are buried a
fence should be built around the
body and the surface of the
ground should be burned for sev
eral years in order to kill out
the spores that make their way
to the surface.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many A Newport Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.
—
Nothing uncertain about the
work of Doan’s Kidney Pills in
Newport- There is plenty of
positive proof of this in the tes
timony of citizens. Such evi
dence should be convincing to
the most skeptical doubter. Read
the following statement:
Mrs. C. A- Arnett, 414 Laurel
street, Newport, says: “One of
our family was troubled by a
dull, steady ache over his kid
neys. It was hard for him to
lift anything or stoop. He was
stiff and lame when he got up
mornings. He finally got a box
of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Walk
er’s Pharmacy and they gave
him great relief ”

Regulations Of The Future
Snecial to Inderiendent.
Little Rock, Aug. 3.—“The
time is coming”, said Deputy
State Bank Commissioner J. D.
Covey, “when state banks and
their officers will be prohibited
from owning large blocks of the
stock of other corporations It
is already prohibited in many
other states. It has been found
to be detrimental to the inter
ests of the bank, and there are
plenty of other lines of invest
ment that are as profitable, and
that will not involve the inter
ests of the bank. Of course, it
will take some time to work out
the change, for it must gradual
ly come around to that. And
the time is also coming when
the manager of a bank will be
paid a sufficient salary to re
quire him to give his entire at
tention and energy to it. That
will be a matter of simple econ
omy.”

GOOD ROADS AS
CROP PRODUCERS
Government Studies Show How
The Agricultural Output of A
County Depends Upon
Its Highroads.
I '
j Washington, D. C., July 31—
That an improved road will in
crease vastly the productiveness
of the area through which it
runs has now been satisfactorily
demonstrated by studies con
ducted by the United States De
partment of Agriculture in Vir
ginia. Conditions in Spotsylva
nia county were investigated
with particular care and the re
sults have proved surprising- In
11909 the county voted $100,000
| to improve 40 miles of roads.
iTwo years after the completion
of this work the railroad took
away in 12 months from Freder
icksburg, the county seat, 71,
000 tons of agricultural and
forest products hauled over the
highways to that town. Before
the improvement of the roads
this total was only 49,000 tons
annually; in other words, the
quantity of the county’s pro
duce had risen more than 45
per cent. Still more interesting,
however, is the increase shown
in the quantity of the dairy
products. In 1909 these amount
ed to 114,815 pounds, in 1911
to 273,028 pounds, an increase
of practically 140 per cent in
iwo years- ju me same ume
shipments of wheat had increas
ed 59 per cent, tobacco 31 per
cent, and iumber and other for
est products 48 per cent.
In addition to this increase in
quantity, the cost of hauling
each ton of produce was materi
ally reduced- In other words,
the farmers not only produce
more cheaply, for the cost of
transportation to market is of
course an important factor in
the cost of production. From
this point of view it is estimated
that the $100,000 spent in im
proving the roads in Spottsyl
vania county saved the farmers
of that county $41,000 a year.
In the past two years the
traffic studies of the Federal ex
perts show that approximately
an average of 65,000 tons of
outgoihg products were hauled
over the improved roads in the
county an average distance of 8
miles, or a total of 520,000 “ton
miles.” Before the roads were
improved it was estimated that
the average cost of hauling was
20 cents a “ton mile”; after the
improvement this fell to 12 cents
a “ton mile”, or a saving of 8
cents- A saving of 8 cents per
mile on 520,000 “ton miles” is
$41,000 a year. The county’s
investment of $100,000 in other
vrords returns a dividend of 40
per cent annually.
Because this saving, in cases
of this character, does not take
the form of cash put directly
into the farmers’ pocket there is
a widespread tendency to be
lieve that it is fictitious profit
while as a matter of fact, it is
just as real a source of profit as
the increase in the price of
wheat.
In Dinwiddie county, Virginia,
for example, where peanuts is
one of the staple crops, the av
erage load for two mules on a
main road was about 1,000
pounds before the road was im
proved. After its improvement
the average load was found to
be 2,000 pounds and the time
consumed in hauling the larger
load to market was much re
duced. In other words, one
man with a wagon and two
mules could do more than twice
as much work with the improv
ed road than an unimproved
road. This is the explanation of
the extraordinary rise in the
total output of agricultural pro
ducts in a county with a good
road system.

man cannot take money from a
person in prohibition territory,
and purchase intoxicants in
"wet" territory, to be delivered,
without being subject to prose
cution.
This decision was given in the
case of State vs. Brewer, from
the Lee circuit court- Brewer
had taken money from a friend
in Lee county for the purchase
of four quarts of whiskey in
Phillips county, and bought and
paid for the whiskey in Helena.
It was then delivered to his
friend in Lee county- Brewer j
was indicted on a charge of act
ing as agent for the delivery of
liquors in dry territory, and up
on trial before the court sitting
as a jury was acquitted. The
state appealed and the supreme
court, finding that the lower
court had erred, reversed the
case and remanded it for new
trial. The court holds:
"It is not necessary in order
! to convict a person under this
[statute to show that he was in
fact acting as agent of a liquo*
dealer when he solicited or re
ceived an order for intoxicating
liquors, for the effect of the stat
ute is to make it an offense for
any person, whether in fact,
the agent of a dealer or not, to
solicit orders in prohibition ter
ritory, or to receive such orders
or transmit the same. The
mere solicitation of the order
without the same being filled to
sufficient to make out an offense
or, where, as in this case, the
order is not solicited, the mere
acceptance and transmission of
the order to any deale/ is suffi
cient if the order is accepted by
the dealer and filled ”
The opinion in the case was
written by Chief Justice Mc
Culloch, and Justice Smith dis
senting.
