First Subscription Received.
> i ' i
The independent acknowl
edges the receipt of the first
$1.00 subscription for the fund
now being raised to purchase a
silver service for the Battleship
Arkansas. This dollar came
from Mrs. J. M. Majors of Tuck
erman, whose state pride and
desire to see the “Arkansas”
possess a silver service like those
of her sister ships, prompts this
donation to the fund. We hope
that the movement once started
will meet with a response from
many others. , ; 4
E. F- Hussman, a Little Rock
banker, who recently enjoyed a
trip up the Hudson river, had an
opportunity to see the battle
ship Arkansas and describes it
beautifully in the following ex
cerpt from the Arkansas Demo
crat.
“The other day as my wife add
I were going up the Hudson riv
er we had a splendid view of the
battleship Arkansas, that grand
world famous ship named after
our state; it was a thrilling
sight, and as we waved our
handkerchiefs at the boys on
board they acknowledged the
courtesy by taking off their hats
—and then we thought of that
battleship without a silver ser
vice. If the people of this
state could only see the grand
ship they would raise that fund
in a day; it is impressive—it is
a great compliment to all of us,
and right here I want to express
my appreciation to the Arkansas
Travelers for their noble efforts
to increase the fund another
thousand. It would be a fine
idea to flood the state with pos
tals picturing and describing the
ship.”

First Purpose of Roads.
Secretary Houston of the De
partment of Agriculture in a re
cent address before the Ameri
can Road Congress took the po
sition, that in our purpose of
building good roads, we must not
work with the view' of building
great highways for pleasure
parties and tourists, but rather
roads which will serve the far
mers and the people of the sev
eral communities about every
town and city in marketing the
produce of their farms and mak
ing life upon the farm more
comfortable and attractive.
Congress too recognized this
primary demand for better
roads and limited the expendi
ture of a half million dollars to
post roads. Many farmers and
townspeople too, get the idea
that better roads are the cry of
automobilists alone and that
these improved roadways are
built for motorists and only in
cidentally serve for the better
and cheaper marketing of farm
products and for the improve
ment of conditions of rural life.
The automobilists have done
a great deal to arouse public in
terest in better roads, but the
large majority of them wrant to
see all the roads improved and
not some one highway by which
they may tour. Good roads
mean too much to our w'hole
people to be viewed with preju
dice and an idea that they
serve only a few.
The time of year is soon com
ing when you will hear from the
man on the farm, how bad roads
interfere with him marketing
his crop, getting his girls and
boys to the district schools and
his family to and from church
and other gatherings. He will
complain bitterly of how bad
roads hem him in and work
hardships upon him and his
family. And the merchant in
town will have a right to com
| plain, because trade is dull, be
cause cotton, corn and other
farm products cannot be hauled
to market and converted into
cash and keep business booming.
When these times and
thoughts come to us as they cer
tainly will, let us make the re
solve for the coming year, that
more and better road work shall
characterize 1914 to the end of
building a system of county
roads that may be traveled with
ease, comfort and pleasure the
whole year.

A.t Judge Lankford’s request,
sourt was opened by prayer by
the Rev. L. L. Trimble. This
was something entirely new
here, but was approved by peo
ple generally.
E. B. Ivie of Portia was chos
en as foreman of the Grand
Jury. Judge Lankford delivered
a strong set of instructions to
to Grand Jury. He urged due
caution in prosecutions, but said
the jurors should have no
friends to protect nor enemies
to punish. His instructions
against “pistol toting,” blind
tigers and gambling were very
strong. He urged that the ne
gro crap-shooters be dealt with
severely. He said most great
crimes are traceable to whiskey
and that blind tigers are wilful
malicious criminals and the
greatest disturbing element in a
community. He said 95 per cent
of the crimes that come up in
the juvenile courts are commit
ted by boys who smoke cigar
ettes.
