The Success of Carlisle

In today'S Democrat there are evidences of the value of the cul- tivation of rice to a locality which q few days ago was one of the ordinary towns of the State. and which today, through the intro duction of rice growing on the broad prai ries which for so long yielded nothing but prairie hay, is one of the most important business centers outside the big cities of the State.
 Carlisle, in the center of the Arkansas River Belt, and the home of the dairy interests of the State, today stands as an ex- ample of what may be done by intelligent effort in many other sections of the State.
 Located in not very favored spot, from all previous appear ance, Carlisle's territory has be come the center of both the rice and dairy interests of Arkansas, and while the strides toward progress during the past four or five years have been remarkable those which will be taken during the next few years will eclipse all previous efforts unless al signs fail.
 And what has been done about Carlisle can be done in other

lines elsewhere.


 The growing of grapes and other fruits, nearer the local markets, and the furnishing of the markets in the large towns with produce is an industry which might easily soon take rank with Carlisle in the matter of advancement in profitable agriculture.
 The growing of better hogs, and more of them. is yet another venture which easily surpass the success attained in that district, because of the fact that in many localities the natural cOnditio are admirably. ad opted to the growing of hogs, while about Carlisle the conditions were not, until made otherwise, favorable to the growth of rice.
 The success of the Rice Belt of Carlisle might easily be taken as a goal by many other sections and for many other lines of busi- ness, with the certain result that the State and the individual would be greatly benefited.

Knowing that he and his good family have so many warm friends in and near Carlisle who will delight in hearing from them, the editor of the Indepen- dent takes the liberty of publish ing the following excellent letter just received from Prof. H. B. Robertson, Principal of the Newborn High Schools, New born, Ga.
 We kindly thank him for the flattering reference he makes to us and assure him that we shall strive harder to merit his further confidence:

 U df SIT N 1flenQ:-
 1 enclose herewith one dollar for a years subscription to the Independent and trust you will pardon my seeming negligence in not remitting sooner, but it has been largely through the fact that 1 have been unusally busy since my return getting school organized and running again.
 While we have been away from Carlisle for two and half years We read the Independent with as much interest as we did the week after we left and it seems to me to be growing bet ter all the while.
 Notwithsta nding the fact that 1 have lived in several different states and different towns I am of the opinion that Carlisle is the best town of it's size on the map and you and your paper have been great factors in it's unusal growth and development of the resources of the surrounding country.
 I note With a great deal of interest the great interest and enthusiasm being manifested in the coming Central Arkan sas Fair and only wish it were possi- ble for Mrs. Robertson and myself to slip away from stern duty for a week and be in at tendance during the Fair Week and mingle with our friends of Carlisle whom we shall never forget or cease to remember with pleasure.
 Best of all it gives me thrill of pleasure to note the increased interest in school affairs in your little city, for I spent some of the best efforts of my life toward bettering the conditions of the Carlisle Public School and the response of sympathy and hearty cooperation which I received from both patrons and pupils will ever make that period in my life a yeritable oasis in my memory.

OKLAHOMA CITY HIGH
HASN'T PLAYED VINITA

Unless Norman high school changes
its mind the oklahoma City high
school football team viii have no
game this week, but will be crowded
the middle Of next month. It seems
that after scheduling q game with the
local boys for October 80, Norman
made arrangements to meet some oth-
er team on that date.
On last Saturday o. II. s. won its
fourth consecutive victory by defeat
ing the Usage Indians at PawhuslIa.
On the second play Winn caught
punt from the indians and slipped
through their lines for the first score.
Winn Is the youngster who has taken
Martins old place at quarter and is
on the road to make a good substitute
for the man who is making some of
Epworth's great runs. Worley
smashed through the line for the sec
ond and fourth score, while Kerfoot
was sent ariund the left wing for the
third. The Osages made but one
touchdown, and that came by getting
away with an incompleted forward
pass. The score was q to 6.
The 0. II. S. team is said to be
stronger this year than any other time
in its history. 1t opened the season
by defeating the A. & NJ. college on
its home ground by a score of to O..
Since that time it has defeated the
Chickasha high school and the second
team Of Oklahoma university.

The LADY and the General.

The old southern city Of Columbia,
S. g.. is the home Of a courtly and
a chivalrous people They pride them
selves on their manners, do Cosum-
hians. But there is a story told down
there concerning a bit of gallantry
on the part of "one of those dem
Yankees, Suh,' which it is admitted
could not have been surpassed by the
courtliest southerner
The story Is to the effect that a
great ball was given at the South Car
olina capital one evening during the
reconstruction era, and while many
southern hearts were still embittered.
A number of northern officers were
present at this ball. and in the course
of the evening one of them was In
roduced to a naughty southern lady,
whose antipathy to all northerners
was we'll known.
The lady acknowledged the intro
duction with a gracious inclination oi
her head and then drawing herself
to her full, magnificent height. said
proudly:
But. Sir. would have you know
that | am still an unreconstructed
rebel"
The Yankee officer bowed low.
Madam" he said, Il am sure that
so admirably constructed a rebel as
yourself needs no reconstruction"

JEFFRIES AND JOHNSON

New York Oct. 2S-That Jack John
son is not trying to avoid the issue
with James J. Jeffries is indicated by
a telegram dated yesterday from the
negro champion heavy weight pugilist
to a local sporting man, in which he
says:
"Will you please see Mr. Jeffries and

cording to the telegram, Johnson VIII

at which it is expected the final terms
for Ethe heavy weight championship

on
Since viewing the moving pictures q
the Johnson-Kotchel fight, Tom shar-
key has offered his opinion concerning
Johnson and from this statement Of
the showing the negro made with Ket-
chel sharkey now believes that JEFF
fries will not have such an easy time
with johnson. sharkey says that un-
less Jeffries is absolutely fit he will be
beaten and doubts that Jeffries can
ever again show the condition he dis
played in his last fight
