COMPANY PASSES
 GOOD INSPECTION.

The recently organized local company of the national guard passed a very creditable inspec- tion Friday evening before Brig adler General Hayes, retired, of the United States army, and Cap tain Mcdowell of Little Rock. Coming here from Harrison, they were delayed and arrived in New port on No. 12 after 10 o'clock.
 They were met at the train by Brigadier General N. M. Stuckey and Lieutenant H. c. McBurney and escorted to the court house where the company, twenty seven in number, passed a most creditable inspection. The ar mory and the condition of the company's equipment came in for special compliment, being the best in the state.
 To a reporter for the Inde- pendent, General Hayes spoke very highly of the Newport com pany as having nearly all the re- quirements of the war depart ment, and stated, the showing made was exceptionally fine, when it is remembered they have only been organized six weeks. He also complimented the officers but expressed regret that the people of Newport did not mani fest greater interest in their sol dier boys.
 General Hayes is a thorough soldier, a veteran of the civil war as well as the Spanish American. Of pleasant address and inter- esting in conversation, he made a good impression with our peo- pie.
 We hope our company did as well with him, for upon his report depends which ten Arkan- sas companies enjoy a trip to the Worlds Fair.

ship out and exhaust our natural resources. They come of them selves, but we should be awake to our interests and secure just such a plant as the one offered.
 The merchants will be repaid in the pay roll of such a factory; the property owners will be re- paid in increased valuations upon their holdings; the town will be repaid in bigger, wealthier and more enterprising city; we will all be repaid and can well afford to give this bonus before some other town jumps at the chance.
 In this age what is worth something to you will have to be paid for if you get it and the people who sit back in independ- ent chairs and froWn down upon the idea of giving a bonus be- cause they don't reap an ex- change then and there, will never get anything but their deserts, a dead town.
 But Newport is not going to fall down on thisopportunity, for much depends upon her action. She has generously provided for the Arkansas Travellers and will keep up the pace.

LETTER TO DR. HENRY
 OWEN, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: You understand chemistry; how'd you like to earn 1000?
 Devoe lead-and-zinc - that S the name of our paint that takes fewer gallons than mixed paint and wears twice as long as lead and-oil-is made of whitehead, white zinc, it's color, turpentine dryer, and linseed oil.
 If any chemist finds any adul- iteration in this paint we'll pay his bill and S1, 900 besides.
 It's nobody's business what we put in our paint, of course; but we want it known. For lead-and- zinc and linseed oil, ground to- gether by machinery, are the stuff to paint with; and lead-and-oil mixed by hand is not.
 We want it known that one word describes the best paint in world; and that word is Devoe.
 Are you going to paint?
 Yours truly,
 F. w. DEvoE 6 Co.,, 92 New York and Chicago.

CHANGE FOR FACTORY,
Representative of Veedersburg Handle Factory Made Propo- sition to Business Men
 of Newpor


 late announcement, responded to the call Friday evening and as- sembled at the city hall to hear the proposition of MT. J. Rosen- barger of Veedersburg, Indiana, looking toward the location of a handle factory in this city.
 In company with Messrs. Geo. R. Hays and c. H. Wilmans, MT. Rosenbarger spent several days in this county and found an abundance of raw material in the second growth of timber, con- sisting of hickory and ash for the manufacture of handles. In his opinion, the supply would run a factory for at least twenty-five years, or until most of our pres ent business men are on the re- tired list.
 MT. Rosenbarger told of how the company, who are all practi- cal workmen, who have made a success in the business, of which fact he had testimonials from bankers at home, had come into possession of another larger fac tory in Illinois. which they in- tended to move South, the raw material in that section having been exhausted.
 He had looked over the coun- try along the Iron Mountain as far south as Texarkana and had found but one town he considered a location that would in any way offer the advantages of Newport. This town was Bierne, and three large mercantile establishments there had offered to donate the site and buildings abandoned by a furniture factory to the new enterprise.
 Newport was desirable as a location in many ways and these were pointed out and recognized by MT. Rosenbarger; the ship ping facilities, by reason of com- petitive railway systems and their right under the interstate commerce laws to meet river competition, the fact that skilled labor, such as would be employed in this factory, could be secured and retained better in 9 town which offers more of the com forts and pleasures of life.
 Ike Goldman, on behalf of the Valley Button Company, offered to sell nearly an acre of the tract below their plant for S1,O00, though this price was only given because of the nature of the busi- ness, as the land was not on the market.
 MT. Rosenbarger agreed to recommend the location of the ! plant here for a bonus of S1,500 { and an option on this site at $1, ,O00, and a committee consist ing of T. s. Stephens and c. c. Henry was appointed to solicit subscriptions to make up the nec- essay amount.
 Mr. Rosenbarger's company is willing to guarantee the continu- ous operation of the plant for twenty-five years and there will be at least forty-seven men em- ployed. As skilled labor is re- quired for the manufacture of these handles, the pay roll would be a good one and nearly 200 people added to our population.
 It is a good investment for the city of Newport, one that comes at a time when our future is at stake and we cannot afford to let it pass. The Kelley Lumber Company is leaving here and a finishing plant of this kind will work up our raw material that would otherwise be sl pped out and we lose the chance to give labor employment in it's manu- fracture.

sSS tig1lst Y 8 Bill AZ today the
Democrats VIII ssho old tn convention
at Warrington to nominate Scandi-
dates for the county Offices. That 1T
wi " be tame and uninteresting
gathering seems very probable, and
that such are the signs they indicate to
us that they have but little faith in
their abiIity to elect their ticket or
event a part OF it. If matters were as
they used TO be we would not see SO
much inactivity in their ranks as is
now apparent. II they had the cleo
ton machinery. for instance, wetwould
see quite a difference. Without it
and big Republican majority staring
to them discouraging indeed. With
the convention so near at hand candi-
dates would be climbing over each
other for nominations it they thought
there would be bare prospect of
success at the polls. AS we stated
some days ago, we think their pro-
gram is to nominate ticket simply
to keep up their organization, anu
that it will consist Of persons mainly
who want the notoriety OF belonging
to the "also ran" class. The usual
quantity Of hot air will doubtless be
expended in their behalf, but nothing
at all tangible, as they know it would
be proftless and therefore foolish.

SWlSHER SURE OF

A BIG MAJORITY.
Debonair, smiling and confident as
ever, Senator Charley Swisher, next
secretary of state, ambled into the
city about dusk last evening from
Fairmont. His confidence in the
ability of the Republican party 10
carry the State this fall has not beet
shaken by the events that have trans
pired in the Democratic party since
his nomination, but rather strength
ened.
twenty-five thonsarl is what | fig
ure the majority will be this fall he
says: Down my way everything is
lovely, and l wanI to tell you that l
have not heard Or seen anything
which leads me to believe that the
Democrats have done anything to inn-
pair Republican chances either in this
State or throughout the country.
There is a better feeling in the Sonth
ern part of the State, than there has
been at any time this year, and the
Legislature has done its part in en-
acting such laws that cannot but
show that we are in earnest and cav
go before the people confident that
when the votes are counted we will
not be found wanting.-To-day' Intel

PARkER's COAT OF ARMS.
He Mentions 1t In a Letter to Brook

The New York Sun relates the fol
lowing interesting incident:
Miss Gertrude F. Parker a seven
teen-year-old Brooklyn girl, sent let
ter recently to Judge Parker, telling
him that he bore such a resem bIance
! to her family that she thought there
must be relationship between them
She also recounted some of her an
cestors, enclosing her picture and
gave her age. This is a copy Of the
letter:
Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y:
Dear Sir: Your photograph appears
in the newspapers SO often and has
SO great resemblance to our family
that ] imagine we are related My
sreat-srandiather, Samuel Parker,
was born in Birmingham, England.
All my ancestors on my fathers side
were born in Brittany, except my
father, who is a native Of Buffalo.
NIy sreat-sran dfather was personal
friend of the Duke Of Wellington and
his "ife'sr sister married the Marquis
OF Pierrepont. l enclose my picture.
Trusting you will forgive me for talk
sincerely yours, Gertrude F. Parker.
Gagged I'D
P. S.-My father is a staunch Dem
ocrat and will cast his vote for the
Hon. Alton B. Parker.
4 few days after mailing the letter
to Rosemount Miss Parker received
this response from the Democratic
candidate:
Rosemount, Esopus-on-the-H Hudson,
August 5. 1904.
Dear Miss Parker: Thank you for
your note Of August 4, and for the
picture which you send me. The first
of my line in America, so far as I
have been able to trace, was John
Parker, who married Olive Temple, at
Mass, in 1850 You
may be able to tell if there is any
connection between your Parkers and
mine from the coat Of arms, which
shows three stays and chevon
charged with trefoil slipped.
Sincerely yours,
ALTON 3. PARKER.

Some Democratic papers seem very
anxious for President Roosevelt to
take hand in the great meat strike
in Chicago. Democratic editors and
politicians are prover''ially stupic.
but such thinly glazed cussedness as
would suggest the interference of the
President of the United States in at
fairs OF this sort, except as A last re.
sort. has seldom been seen. These
same imps OF humanity can rest as
sured that Theodore Roosevelt will
not make as big a fool OF himself as
is not SO limited in capacity and man
hood.

Republicans hereab bouts seem quite
anxious as regards Judge Parker's
speeches and things. They like them
They are doing the cause much good
His gold telegram estranged thou
sands who would otherwise have sup
ported him: his speech OF acceptance
made Roosevelt and Fairbanks many
votes; SO now we are all anxious that
his promised letter Of acceptance
may be a very long one. In proper
ton as the judge telegraphs, speaks
or writes, his chances become less
and less.
