Answers Governors Slur.

As is known by nearly every one who attended the public speaking here October 26, says the Calico Rock Progress, Attor- ney General Rogers was ill from the effects of a violent chill which he had on the train on his way here. At the conclusion of the speaking he still had a fever and was feeling so bad that he took the train home and cancelled his date at Melbourne for Octo- Der 28 until some future time. Gov. Davis insinuated in his speech at Melbourne that the reason that MT. Rogers did not meet him at that place was that he (Rogers) had been on a drunk.
 If anybody puts any credence in the insinuation of the governor (which is hardly possible) the falsity of the same can be proven by dozens of our most honorable citizens, including a physician.

BETTER SERVICE NEEDED.
Telephone Service Has Reached Limit That Is Raising a Vigorous Kick,
 Letter of a Patron.

Editor ndependent-U Usually the newspapers will take ID and agitate question involving pub lie matters until some sought good is a reality or some wrong is corrected. So 1t is out Of the usual way that nothing ever ap- pears in any of our papers crltl- cising the wretched telephone service with which the patrons of the Newport exchange are afflicted. Can you not so pub licly condemn this corporation that public interest will be so aroused that the management will be forced to supply this office with sufficient force to do the work, and to pay such wages as will induce capable operators to remain in it's employ?
 The telephone company pays starvation wages and furnishes wretched, miserable service and yet charges one hundred per cent more here than it does in several other towns of the same size elsewhere and gives better service, simply because other systems are in competition, be- cause this concern has no com petitor. It is deriving a revenue of eight hundred or a thousand dollars per month from this office and we have to accept such service as it,sees fit to give, and are asked what are you going to do about it?'' It is a fitting illustration of what a nonoply is.
 Will not some one come to the relief of a long suffering and patient people and organize or help organize an independent company? I will help.

SHOULD KEEP QUIET.
White River Farmer Boasts of Won derfuliy Profitable Crop in the
 Raising of Ginseng.

John Mcdonald, who lives near Handford's switch. twenty-five miles west of this city on the White river road, was telling his friends here in town Saturday, says the Batesvills Guard, about the wonderful financial possibil- ities of his ginseng patch. Last Spring he set a plot of ground 25x75 feet in seeds and trans planted roots, gathered from the woods about his place. The patch is fourishing. He has gathered from 1t this fall 1900 matured seeds, which he says are worth five cents each, and the plants have grown nicely. Continuing the process of re- planting, Mir. Mcdonald expects to have before long an acre of ginseng, the second crop from which he declares he can sell for the snug sum of S25, 900. He estimates the value of the seeds from this acre. however, to be worth S37, ,000 a year, and he will more probably perpetuate his patch for the benefit of this princely income, rather than sac rifce it for the roots, whic ch sell for S14, 900 a ton.
 Sang" has been a merchant able commodity among the peo- pie of the hill country since it's first settlement. The root is something like a sweet potatoe, and is shipped principally to Chi na, where it is put into medicine use. The plant reaches it's full growth in five years. MT. Nc Donald has a single two-year-old plant from which he gathered ninety-six seeds this fall. The wonder is it's cultivation is not more general.
