Monument Through Old Papers.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct- 7.—Mrs. Ed
win Price of Little Rock is mak
ing an effort to raise $10,000
through the sale of old newspa
pers, magazines and periodicals,
for the purpose of erecting on
the State Capitol grounds a
monument to the soldiers of the
War of 1812 who were buried in
Little Rock. When this project
was first proposed, under the
auspices of the Nicholas Head
ington chapter of the Daughters
of 1812, it was doubted if there
were soldiers of this war buried
in Little Rock, but a study of
the pension and war records dis
closed seven.
Mrs. Price has sold several
cars of paper already, but now
since her plans have become
generally known, people all over
Little Rock are saving papers
for her, so that the receipts will
be much more rapid in coming
in. A number of outside people
are also assisting in the work,
and several cities will fill cars for
Mrs. Price. j
Only One Big Office Left.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 8.—Only one
big office in the Eastern District
of Arkansas, that of United
States Marshal, remains to be
filled, and indications now are
that Henry S. Traylor, of Con
way, will receive this. Traylor
was formerly deputy superin
tendent of Public Instruction
under J. J. Doyne, and acted as
campaign manager for Joe T.
Robinson in his race for govern
or and the Senate. Judge Walls,
was supposed to be a candidate,
but Traylor has apparently dis
tanced all applicants except the
manager of the McCombs plan
tation in Ashley county, with
chances for shaking off the last
contestant in the stretch.
W. E. Floyd, until recently se
cretary of the Arkansas Rail
road Commission, whose ap
pointment as postmaster in Lit
tle Rock, was confirmed by the
! Senate last week, received his
| commission Tuesday and will
j take charge of the local office,
1 relieving U. S. Bratton on Octo
