The Carlisle independent., 1909-06-24

AtheCo tiCI SlUlZCho upOn UtiC I6 markable advancement of theil country. He mentioned the fact that our town had been named after Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and that at the latter place there is located great Indian school which takes the wild and untu. tOred red men. in state ot heathenism, and converts them into substantial and progressive citizens. Thus it is, asserted MT. Remmel, that the country surrounding Carlisle has been taken in a wild and undeveloped state, when it's land was consid- cred to be practically worthless, and transformed into veritable garden where now may be found unparalleled progress and ad- vancement.
 Governor Donaghey was the next speaker. The governor lays no claim to oratOry but makes up for it in earnestness. He told of the time when he pulled bell cord over a mule" near Carlisle and concluded by saying that he had a warm place in his heart for Carlisle, not only because she had supported him for governor, but also because it was here that he narr.e1 one of the most beautiful women in the world.
 Rev. James Thomas and J. w. Conger then made short talks but by this time the train had re- turned from Lonoke and the vis- itors were obliged to depart. After scores of complimentary remarks and many protestations of thanks and good will toward the citizens of Carlisle, the dis tinguished guests boarded the train and left for eastern points.
 The Board of Trade of the city of Little Rock represents the city's foremost men in every line of commercial activity. Itls the object of this organization to keep in close touch with the business opportunities and advantages of the city and state. and to exploit these conditions throughout the country. These gentlemen are performing an invaluable service for their city. Carlisle has not only been signally honored by their visit, but she has received from the visit a lasting benefit.
 The party numbered seventy eight, among them being the fol lowing: Geo. w. Donaghey, O. c. Ludwig, Geo. B. Cook. H. L. Remmel, w. S. Holt. c. S. Stifft, Geo: R. Brown, B. B. Niger, c. c. Thompson and L. B. Leigh.

Fuller, living about five miles south of Carlisle, was offered a bonus to undertake raising a rice crop. His success exceeded our anticipation, he making an aver age of more than 76 bnshels of rice per acre on 70 acres. This assured our future, and today we have hundreds of pumping plants pouring millions of gallons of water over thousands of acres of rice. The rice is growing. This mill, the largest in the state, is being made ready to convert this great cereal from it's rough. state to finished product, the quality of which is not surpassed by any grown in the world. Thus we grow. But, gentlemen, we need you in our business, to cooper ate with us in developing this great prairie country, for such it is today We need your capital to assist in these various enter prises. We need you to help plan our future, and so we court your good will and friendship, and now again we bid you well come to our growing little city, a people who undertake great things with the least means. but with push and energy we make them go."
 At the conclusion of the ad- dress of welcome the party was conducted by the reception com mittee to the rice mill Here the Little Rock gentlemen thorough ly inspected the mammoth plant. Not only were they highly pleased with the enterprise but they re peatedly complimented the citi- zens of Carlisle and vicinity upon the great size and capacity of the mill.
 Accompanied by the band and the reception committee the wis itors next proceeded up Front street into the business section of the city and thence to the rail road station. Fortunately for Carlisle some of the party had been left in Lonoke and the en- zine went back for these, thus causing the visitors to stay long CT here than was originally in- tended.
 Upon the arrival of the visitors at the depot P. w. Echlin, on behalf of the citizens of Carlisle. presented the Board of Trade with a few of our products, among them being Irish potatoes, canned sweet potatoes, and canned to- matoes put up by the Carlisle Canning Co.,; pail of pure cream and ten pounds of butter, the product of the Union Creamery, presented by G. E. Banzhof, manager of the creamery, and through the courtesy of Mr. Thornton quantity ot sterilized condensed milk from the local condensing factory. Incidentally, the last named product is made nowhere else in the south. In a short but earnest talk MT. Echlin expressed his appreciation of the visit of the board and closed by asking the visitors to remember Carlisle every time they went to eat the products she had given them.
 Mir. Echlin was responded to by Hon. H. l.. Remmel, president of the Board of Trade and one of the most prominent men in Ar kansas. MT. Remmel, in an elo- quent speech, accepted the pres ents from Carlisle and congratu-

FOR GOOD ROADS
AND BETTER HORSES
p. v. DeGraw, Fourth Assistant Post
master Geenrai, Is Crank On
These Two Subjects Relating
to Department.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 23.-P.
V. DeGraw, who is the fourth assist
ant postmaster general of the United
States. is an enthusiast on horses. He
is in addition, veritable crank on
the subject of good roads. That is one
explana ton of the wonderful work
which the postoffice department mas
been doing in furthering the campaign
for improvement of the public high
ways.
At first blush the connection between
the mail service and good roads for the
farmers doesn't appear. But when 1t Is
considered that there are thousands of
miles of rural routes to be Travelled by
carriers of the department, then the as
sociation is complete. The rural free
delivery system is the greatest agent
for good roads that has been dis
covered.
For instance, the department de-
eAAS
rural carriers travel must tc in reas-
onably gaad condition. Poor roads de-
lay the carrier, delay the mail, and
hinder the service. Therefore. when
ever report is made to the department
that roads on which a rural route is
established are in bad condition, I'M
peding the progress of the carrier, the
road officials, postmaster and patrons
are Immediately notified that unless
steps are taken to improve this condi-
ton, the service will be withdrawn.
The threat is usually effective, and
good roads are the rule.
In furtherance Of the departments
