CAMPAIGN IN
 BIRD TOWNSHIP.
Big Crowds Hear Candidates at Centerville and Tuckerman
 Hospitable People Vel
 come Campaigners.

The editor last week enjoyed a trip on the hustings through Bird township with the county candl- dates. and had the pleasure of meeting the good citizenship of that section, almost a hundred of whom enrolled themselves on the subscription lists. of the Weekly Independent. The rich agricultural land of this pros perity-enjoying township has not only produced bumper crops, but al class of sturdy, intelligent and conservative farmers who reflect credit upon the citizenship of Jackson county.
 The first open air engagement of the claimants for office was held Thursday at Elgin, where a goods box served as a rostrum and the crowd stood about within hearing distance. The number present was probably the small est of any meeting up to that time during the campaign.
 Tb,,rsdav night the editor en- joped the hospitality of Uncle George Bandy's home, in com pany with his son, R. w. Randy, J. D. Neal and c. A. Hillhouse, and so genuine and cordial were the welcomes the party received, the next morning found us lotl to continue our travels.

munity was out in force and many ladies graced the affair with their presence. Wood but tons were everywhere in evidence and the 'squirrel-head" scribe who is supporting Wood natur- ally felt at home among such an enthusiastic gathering of his own faith. The church ladies served dinner in a building adjoining the postoffice, convincing the visitors that good cooks as well as pretty naidens and comedy matrons were among their num- Der.
 The weeks campaign was closed Saturday at Tuckerman, when over two hundred voters were present to hear the speak ing, which took place in an arbor. Township candidates opened up in the morning and as six of them have offered themselves for justice of the peace of that town ship and several for constable, the noon hour intervened before the other candidates had hardly started.
 The Baptists are building a handsome little church edifce in this city, and to help the good cause along the ladies gave a dinner Saturday that was deser- vedly we'll patronized, for all manner of good things were [ bountifully served.
 Interest centered in the speech es of the candidates for repre- sentative and it was late in the afternoon before their turn was reached. The audience was growing restless and it was evi- dent that the candidates would not long hold the attention of . goodly portion of the crowd.

two candidates had entered the lists, the following order of speaking has been observed throughout the campaign. The first speaker reverted to the last, thus allowing the second man to open next day and the third the day following, and so on through out the series of engagements. This rule was recognized by MT. Keel in allowing MT. Ard to speak first. No one questioned it there, but when MT. Hillhouse should have been allowed to speak second, MT. Keel arose and disputed his right, on the ground that Hillhouse spoke before him at Centerville. Mir. Ard spoke befoAe Keel at Centerville and So did he at Tuckerman. According to the rule followed, he had the right to and so did Hillhouse, but the Davis men knowing the late ness of the hour and the restless disposition of the crowd, would not allow him to speak. Rather than cause trouble MT. Hillhouse yielded to Keel and he was all lowed to speak. But it was an unfair advantage, and not in ac- cordance with the rule which had been followed, and we do not be- lieve that MT. Sam Harvey, who acted as chairman, would have recognized MT. Keel had he known these facts.

PREPARING A HISTORY.
Miss Stockard Looking After z Data for a History of Jack son and Independence
 Counties.

The history of Jackson and In- dependence counties is being written by Miss s. w. Stockard. The author is in Newport to take notes from all sources valuable to the history of Jackson, to study the court records and the old newspaper files. Miss Stock ard will also take subscriptions for the history while gathering the data. The book will be of standard report size, cloth bound, 250 pages or more, illustrated, and price S3.
 Miss Stockard has been collect ing data of Arkansas for some time. She has had much expe- rience in this kind of work, asso- ciated with the Southern Histori- cal Association and the Histori- cal Societies of. North Carolina. The American Historical Asso- citation publications of 1902 and the Outlook of New York spoke we'll of her work. The histori- cal associations of New York and Pennsylvania also seem much interested in Miss Stockard's s work. MT. Clement of the Bos- ton Transcript and Mir. King of the Houghton & Mif1in Publish ing Company spoke highly of her history of Guiliford county, N. C., and her other productions. This is a good work for Jackson county and for Arkansas as well.

Letter of Girl Whom Pomp Brown Sought to Outrage
 Giving Facts.

but that this negro, Pomp Brown, is the guilty negro. You ask me for all the facts of that sad affair. I left my house on that day for short journey, and had gone about one half mile only when saw Pomp Brown com- ing toward me. I rode on not thinking of danger. The black fiend let me get near him when he jumped to the side of my horse and pulled me off. fought and screamed to save myself and only succeeded in doing so by saying my father was coming on down the road. This frightened him and I got away. 0, sir, no one but God can know how l suffered during that struggle, and with my clothes torn and arms bleeding I ran home. This is the same negro, Pomp Brown, who MT. Davis turned loose at the request of what they call a few politicians. My father and husband are opposing MT. Davis for the wrong he has done us. The negro was pardoned by MT. Davis without my fathers knowl- edge and his guilt was not doubt ed.
