Neighbor County News Notes.
Rev. J. M- Talkington closed a
protracted meeting at Gum
Springs last night at the end of
two weeks’ splendid services,
during which time there have
been about forty conversions.
Rev. Talkington began another
meeting at Smyrna last night,
which will continue through this
week.—Searcy Citizen.
T. C. Phillips, editor of the
Herald, resigned as mayor of
Hardy last week. He is the
third man to resign that office in
the past three weeks. In offer
ing his resignation Mayor Phil
lips said: “The people of Hardy
need not expect anything to be
accomplished by officers of the
town until they receive more
support at the hands of the peo
ple.”
Charles Hamilton, a leading
teacher of Jonesboro, narrowly
escaped drowning at Hardy one
day last week while bathing in
Spring river- He was engulfed
by a whirlpool in swift water
and was rescued with great dif
ficulty by parties who were bath
ing near him.
Lehman Kay is the possessor
of a Michigan automobile. Since
receiving the machine Lehman
finds that he cannot run it on
account of not being able to
squeeze his 325 pounds of avoir

wheel. He would be willing to
pay a good - price for an anti
fat preparation.—Salem Banner. ^

Our Extravagant Government.
One reason that the farmers
and the laboring men and the
great part of the American peo
ple make only slow progress is
that the official class, the govern
ing class, the governing machin
ery, the mechanism of city,
county, State and Federal gov
ernment are multiplying enor
I mously, and are taking every
| year a very much larger propor
tion of the savings of the frugal,
private citizen in town and ;
country than ever before
Men talk about pensioning
soldiers and officeholders and
teachers and mothers and wi
dows and old men and old wo
men as though they could dip
their hand into an ocean of
money and take out enough to
pay the pensions without any
body being the worse for it.
It is a delusion. Every dol
lar that each man receives is a
dollar that some man has earn
ed, has produced. The more

money we take from the laborer,
the producer, and give to the
non-producer
We have been looking for
years for a popular revolt
against the increase in govern
ment expenses. It is going to
come some time, and the sooner
it comes the better. It is possi
ble to get greater efficiency from
government machinery reduced
to one-half of its proportions
and from an office-holding class
reduced one-half in number.
But this reduction will never
come as long as the representa
tives of the farmers, in Wash
ington and in the State capitals,
consent to big appropriations
generally, induced to give that
consent through appropriations
for agricultural interests of one
kind and another.
But, as we have said else
where, no one proposed a pen
sion for the superannuated far
mer- Soon every man who
works will have an office-holder
or pensioner on his back.—Farm

“Wets ’ and “Drys” In Ohio
Death Struggle.
United Press Service
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 4.—The
greatest “wet” and “dry” cam
paign ever staged in Ohio began
in earnest today when the “dry”
forces filed at the office of the
secretary of state a proposed
constitutional amendment abo|
ishing the present county local
option law, and establishing the
township and municipality as
the unit in future liquor legisla
tion.
Lines are closely drawn and
each side wjjl put forth every
effort in the fight for its life.
The anti-saloon league has been
at work throwing out its forces
in every village in the state, and
its chief opponents, divisions of
the personal liberty league, have
taxed every resource to stem the
tide of temperance n Ohio. The
question promises to have con
siderable bearing on, if it does
not completely overshadow the
campaign for governor.
A Perfect Cathartic.
There is sure and wholesome
action in every dose of Foley
Cathartic Tablets. They cleanse
with never a gripe or pain- P. A.
Morgan, Gore, Ga., writes, “I
lately had occasion to use a liv
er medicine, and took Foley Ca
thartic tablets. They thorough
ly cleansed my system and I
felt like a new man—light and
free.” Chronic cases of consti
pation find them invaluable.
Stout people are relieved of that
bloated, congested feeling, so
uncomfortable especially in hot
weather. They keep your liver

WHITE WAY
WILL BE CREDIT
To City For One Block Of Busi
ness Section On Hazel Was
Lighted Monday
.
■ ..
The “White Way” for New
port is to give Newport’s busi
ness section a blaze of soft white
light, that will swell her citizens
with pride and create an equally
favorable impression upon the
visitor within her portals. The
full meaning and beauty of the
l “White Way” has never been
realized by our people, but they
were given a foretaste of the fu-.
ture Newport Monday evening,
when the business block on Ha
zel street between First and Se
cond was beautifully illuminated
writh the concrete stand lights,
that are soon to comprise nine
I blocks of our business district.
The massive concrete stands
are arranged four to the block,
1 and on both sides of the street
on Hazel and Walnut. From
each stand are hung four 32 can
dle power lights from cross arms
of concrete and above the stand
in the center is a fifth light, all
of these lights being encased
in clouded globes 12 and 14
inches in diameter
The electric company has
spared no expense to beautifully
equip the service and made the
citizens and business men a con
tract that manifested their loy
al public spirit and confidence in
Newport.
The Iron Mountain railroad is
to be asked to provide a light
service in keeping with the
street about the Walnut street
depot and along this portion of
their property.
The company expects to have
everything installed for com
plete service Friday evening and
the suggestion everywhere
meets with approval that fitting
exercises and a celebration of
Newport’s biggest acquisition be
held Friday evening when the
button may be lunched to bring
the whole “white way” into ser
vice.
The lighting of one block,
brought forth many of our citi
zens and all expressed pleasure
and gratification in our “white
| way.” Messrs. Hamel and Cross
land of the electric company
were the recipients of much
compliment for the pleasing re
suits of the “white way.”
Pledges Not Regarded Neces
sary.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 4.—There
has been a great deal of com
ment throughout the state for
several days on account of the
discovery made by some one that
the Corrupt Practices act of
1913 applies to general as well
as to primary elections. If this
be true, it would rerun re all
nominees for state d: and
county offices to e t pled
ges, but it is genera. unsid
ered unnecessary.
“I do not think the act was
intended to apply to general e
lections”, said Attorney Gener
al Moose, who himself had filled
out a pledge when a number of
other state officials were doing
so. “It refers only to primary
elections, until the thirteenth
section, when it says that it shall
apply also to general and special
elections. I believe it was in
tended that that should mean
general and special primary e
lections, and not the biennial e
lection held in September.”
