As Searcy Saw The Game.
Searcy, Nov. 28.—Thursday at*
Newport in a hotly contested
football game, the Searcy boys
made the Newport “Hi” boys
drink deep of the cup of bitter
ness by a score of 25 to G. It
was snappy all the way through;
the rooting was vigorous on
both sides. The Searcy boys,
winning the flip, chose the east
goal.
For a few minutes everything
was quiet, when Bevans, New
port’s fullback, made a touch
down on a dropped ball on New
port’s part. Everything was in
an uproar,the period ending with
Searcy in possession of the ball,
score G to 0.
After a rest, the bucking and
running began and was a hard
tussle, when Ira McLean, Sear
cy’s right guard, was crippled
by his ankle being sprained; re
lieved by Thomas. McMinn,
Newport’s quarterback, receiv
ed a blow on his nose, and was
relieved by Whitten. Searcy
made her first touchdown, Wood
son making a 20-yard dash.
Period ended ball belonging to
Newport; score G to G.
They began agdin and after
about ten minutes of fast and
after about ten minutes of fast
and snappy playing Mayo ran
about 20 yards and scored an
other touchdown for Searcy. Mc
Minn returned to the game, and
the period ended with Searcy in
possession of the ball, and the
score 12 to 6.
SEARCY BASKETEERS LOSE.
Thursday at Newport in a
fast and snappy game, full of
interesting plays, the home girls
took their first defeat of the sea
son, from the Newport girls, by
a margin of one score—17 to 16.
The Searcy girls were well
pleased with the conduct of their
opponents. About fifty rooters
from Searcy witnessed the game.
Features were the all-round play
ing of Misses Benson, Darden
and Langley for Searcy, and
Misses Younger, Littleton and
Bains for Newport.
Fort Smith Probably Winner.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 29.—There
|
will Jje a meeting of the execu
tive committee of the Arkansas
Athletic Association, which gov
erns amateur events in Arkan
sas, in Little Rock on Saturday
night, at which time the second
ary football championship will
be settled. Indications point to
Fort Smith being declared the
winner of the championship cup,
though the cup offered by a local
jeweler to the winner of the
Thankserivimr trame must revert
to the donor, neither side having
scored a victory. A member of
the committee has stated that
there appears to be little to the
protest filed against the victory
won by Fort Smith over Texar
kana, and that Fort Smith hav
ing defeated Texarkana, and
Texarkana defeating Little Rock,
there is noting left but to award
the cup to Fort Smith.
The Fort Smith team return
ed home Friday afternoon, none
too joyful over their failure to
roll up the score on Little Rock,
but they had the consolation of
knowing that had the ground
permitted any sort of playing,
they would have turned the
trick. Little Rock players are
fully as confident they would
have defeated Fort Smith had
the mud permitted the players
getting into action.
Lumbermen To Make Fight.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Dec. 1.—Attor
ney General W. L. Moose and a
number of attorneys represent
ing large lumber concerns of
the state, are today prepar ing
their case to defend the rough
material rates of the Arkansas
Railroad Commission in the
Federal Court today. At that
time the question of making the
injunction against the rates i
permanent, will be heard before
Federal Judges Trieber of Lit
tle Rock, Youmans of Fort
i
Smith and Smith of Iowa, sit
ting en banc.
The railroads claim the rough
material rate is an effort on the
part of the Commission to fix
inter state rates, while the
Commission claims it has made
a flat rate on rough material to
the mill without respect to any
continued shipment of the man
ufactured article. The railroads
also claim that the big lumber
men themselves are not satisfied
with the rates promulgated by
the commission.
Paroles Post.
The parcels post is about to
take another upward bound with
respect to a wider application of
its usefulness to the public and
the cultivation of a field of com
munal service which for too
long was left to the extortion
ate exploitation of privileged
monopolies protected in their
robbery by persons in high gov
ernment place.
Postmaster General Burleson
has asked the interstate com
merce commission to authorize
an extension of the service so
that the maximum limit of
weight for parcels may be in
creased from twenty to fifty
pounds. In this it is plain to be
seen that the postoffice depart
ment is feeling its way along
and that the estimated one hun
dred pound maximum is not by
any means an irridescent dream
nor one long in materializing.
The beginning, after dire and
woful predictions and the
strongest and long-contiued op
position of those enjoying the
express monopoly, was made
with a maximum limit of eleven
pounds.
This did not break the govern
ment nor swamp the mails nor
ruin and disorganize trade as
the special pleaders for monop
oly predicted. Then the pound
age was raised to twenty pounus
and again the calamity howlers
shrieked to heaven and deplored
(on the surface) the fate of the
small town and country mer
chant who was going straight to
ruin, while all the time their on
ly concern was for the water-log
ged express monopoly.
The government hardly can go
too far—though it may be ob
liged to go slowly pending the
accumulation of equipment and
the training of officials, in the
service of the public in the
transportation of parcels. This
is an extension of the commun
istic or socialistic ideal that
frightens nobody but those
whose express dividends are
threatened with extinction. A
profit estimated at thirty mil
lions in the operation of the par
cels post to date is good argu
ment for increasing the service.

Court Appeals Increase.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 29.—There
is a notable increase in the a
mount of business being hand
led by the supreme court, the
record of appeals filed for the
three years being as follows:
1911— Criminal. 39; civil, 92;
total, 131.
1912— Criminal, 28; civil, 171:
total. 202.
1913— Criminal, 50: civil, 192;
total, 242.
In consequence of the increase
in business, the docket is not be
ing disposed of as rapidly as
heretofore. The number of
criminal cases appealed since
July 1 is unprecedented, and
there is a very material increase
in the number of civil cases.
The court always starts in lie
hind with the docket in the fall,
account of the accumulaf ion dur
ing the summer recess, but this
accumulation has in recent
years always been disposed of
by early spring. This year,
however, the court will be
longer in disposing 01 me ac
cumulation, and litigants will
have to wait longer for their
cases to be disposed of.
There has been much specu
lation as to the cause for the
increase but no solution has
been found unless it be the in
crease in litigation resulting
from the natural growth of the
population of the state, and its
material interests.

STOMACH TROUBLES
Mr. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: "I have
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine 1 have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man."
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms of
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sale
everywhere. Price 25c. N. C 127.
