! imate cost of a twelve foot
'bridge for a span of 700 feet,
5 would be from $10,000 to $20,
000, and that the approximate
icost of a bridge 20 feet wide
; would be at least one-third more
! than for the 12 foot bridge.
It was the judgment of all
those present that the bridge
ought to be 20 feet wide so as
to admit of the passage of wag
ons and vehicles. The prices
referred to are for a suspension
bridge.
Mr. Churchill declares that a
suspension bridge is as good for
all purposes as a steel bridge,
! and has some advantages over
i a steel bridge. He says the
consent of the government can
be had for the building of such
a bridge because it will be high
above what the boats will de
mand for passage.
No definite action was taken at i
the meeting Wednesday, but it
was apparent that there is great j
interest in Batesville in the pro
position to build a bridge, and it
would not be surprising if some
thing good comes from that
meeting yesterday.

“Gone Home to Vote.”
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 20.—“Gone
home to vote,” is a label which
might well be displayed today
upon various departments of
state, where desks are closed
and there is a general air of
quietude.
Gov. J. M. Futrell is now in j
Greene county, and will cast his
vote in Paragould. His secreta
ry, A. V. Smith, if he is able to
leave the office Saturday, will
vdte in Banks, Bradley county.
Attorney General W. L. Moose
will journey to Morrilton to
vote, and Treasurer John W.
Crockett will vote in DeWitt.
State Land Commissioner Rue
jben G. Dye leaves Friday after
noon for Forrest City, where he
will cast his ballot. Tax Com
missioner F. E. Brown will vote j
in Des Arc.
Commissioner of Labor Statis
tics J.C. Clary has already gone
to Warren in order to be on the
ground to vote early. Deputy |
Treasurer R. G. McDaniels will;
vote in Arkadelphia. Associate ;
Justices W. F. Kirby votes in j
Texarkana, and Associate Jus- j
tice Smith in Marion. Other offi- j
cials will vote in Little Rock.
.
A Little Excitement—That’s All ;
Walnut Street neighborhood
near Remmel avenue, was the j
scene of a little excitement j
Thursday afternoon. Two boys \
on horseback turned up the alley
from Newport Avenue and
again turned on Main street,
i when the horse began to run and
[kick, jumping a ditch and run
; ning down Remmel Avenue. As
I the horse went to turn sharply
! into an alley, both boys jumped
off, landing one on either side of
the animal. One boy was heard
to remark as he gladly turned
the Horse over to his father:
“Take him daddy, I don’t want j
to ride him any more.” (Now,
j those who are filled with curios
I ity must not ask us the names of
! the two boys, for we are not go
i ing to tell, as they do not wish
j their names to appear in the pa
per, being modestly inclined.)
i Neither of the boys was injured
' but both were badly frightened
j and it is not probable that they
will wish to ride “double” on a
j hor.se which positively refuses
to carry more than one boy at a
time.
CHURCH CONTROL
Of VANDERBILT
University Not A Bar to Ac
ceptance of Carnegie s Mil
lion Says Moose.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 20.—Attor
ney General W. L. Moose has re
turned from Nashville, Tenn.,
where he attended the meeting
of the Board of Trustees of the
Vanderbilt University, of which
he is a member.
Judge Moose states that the
action of Bishops Boss and Can
dler with reference to the Carne
gie endowment of $1,000MOO for
the medical department of the
university, to be founded upon
an erroneous idea of the endow
ment. They object to the af
fairs of the medical department
being placed in the hands of a
separate board of control, as
specified by the donor, in mak
ing the endowment.
The Carnegie Corporation,
which made the endowment,”
states Judge Moore, “required
that the medical department of
Vanderbilt be under the diree
tion of a board of seven mem
bers, three of whom were to be
men well known in the scientific
world, and the balance to be se
lected at will, all appointments
to be made by the Board of
Trustees of Vanderbilt. This
board has the right to dismiss
at any time any member of the
smaller board, which places the
medical college directly in the
hands of the Board of Trustees
of Vanderbilt. This board has
the right to dismiss at any time
any member of the smaller
board, which places the medical
college directly in the hands of
the Board of Trustees of Van
derbilt. The Bishops object to
the smaller board, but a study
of the case should remove their
objection.
“The trustees selected Dr.
Henry S. Pritchett of Boston,
formerly at the head of the in
stitute of technology there, and
the president of the Carnegie
corporation, as one member of
the medical board. The head of
Johns Hopkins College and the
professor of bacteriology of the
University of Chicago, were the
scientists appointed, and the
balance of the board was select
ed from members of the board
of Trustees of Vanderbilt.
“It was through Dr. Pritchett,
who is a close friend of Chancel
lor Kirkland that the university
secured this endowment. Dr.
Pritchett, being the head of the
Carnegie corporation, is a close
personal friend of Mr. Carnegie.
Carnegie at first refused to give
the money because Vanderbilt is
a sectarian school. He was as
sured there was nothing secta
rian about the medical college,
and this finally won him over,
and the assurance was given
that the smaller board would
conduct the medical department
in that manner.”
Mrs. S. W. Gratoit of St. Louis
who made a shoi't visit to hei
daughter, Mrs. G. H. Hammel of
this city, left for her home on
No. 4 this morning. Mrs. Ham
mel and little daughter will also
leave for St. Louis tomorrow
morning to spend the summei
months. *

The Name Social given last
evening by the Christian Endea
vor for the benefit of the church
carpet fund, was heartily enjoy

the evening was that all titles or
“handles” to names should be
dispensed with, so that in this
account of the event, all names
will appear as recorded upon the
register faithfully kept at the
door. The registrar was Annie
Elizabeth Pugh and the treas
urer was Benjamin High White.
The hostesses were Zou Ella
Stallings and Lillian Inez Stal
lings. The games into which all
entered with pleasure were ar
ranged and conducted by the so
cial committee consisting of

Louise Stephens, Effie Wilson
Neely, Pewee Stallings and Fan
nie Hinkle.
Each guest as he entered
wrote his name in full upon the
register and paid a penny for
each letter in the name. The re
cord book was a dainty hand
made volume held together with
green and gold ribbon, the cover

The privilege of putting old

and added much to the merri
ment of the occasion.

BRUNDiDGt BY
30000 MAJORITY
And If Vote Is Heavy Ma\ Run
to 50,000, Says Manager
Milwee.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 20—On Sun
day morning the people of
Arkansas will wake up to find
headlines in the papers announc
j ing the nomination of Col. Ste
phen Brundidge as governor of
j Arkansas”, declares R. F. Mil
| wee, campaign manager for Col.
Brundidge. “We know now that
he is nominated, and it will be
j by at least 30,000, if the vote is
light, and if Saturday forces the
people to turn out, his majority
I will reach 50,000.
j “Col. Brundidge has conduct -
I ed a clean campaign. He has
I not stooped to the small politi
cal practices of some campaigns,
land the people are rejoicing that
|they are to have a governor of
if his calibre. Col. Bruididge
goes into office unhampered by
promises. He has not given his
i pledge to work for one man for
Ipostmaster, another for United
States senator against James P.
I Clarke, nor has he promised any
| man an appointment. This is
I the kind of a man the people
should have for governor—not
one who goes in with his hands
tied, and who must consult oth
ers before he can act upon a
I matter of importance to the
state. Col. Brundidge can with
out hesitancy, and he will, act
for right, no matter what man
of political prominence is stand
ing on the other side.
“A careful estimate of the
counties will not give the oppo
sition over fourteen, and in
most of these we will be within
100 votes of the winner. We will
carry the balance of the coun
ties by good majorities.
‘‘This talk of carrying White
and several other counties is
nonseu.-e of the rankest sort.
Col. Brundidge will carry White
county with 500 votes to spare.
“ 1 be Brundidge campaign has
been conducted on an econom
ical basis tor Col. Brundidge has
not the funds to buy everything
in sight, nor has he the interests
or friends who would do so if
they could. The Brundidge cam
paign will demonstrate that a
man can still make a successful
race for governor in Arkansas
without flooding the state wilh
money. The people are resenting
these campaigns of the almighty
dollar."
