The Pistol Toting Habit.

How many young men in Dillon
are victims of the pistol toting hab-
It? We call it habit because we
know of no other excuse for carry
ing a concealed weapon. Ask the
young man himself his reason for
carrying a pistol and nine times out
Of ten he will tell you he doesn't
know. He does not want to kill
anybody, but he feels uncomfortable
if his hip pocket is not weighted
down with pistol. He feels a GER
tain sense of security in the fact
that he is armed to protect himself
is an emergency should arise in
which he is compelled to use a pis-
tol. But why does he fear such an
emergency? Nowadays men do not
walk around looking for somebody
40 kill. One man may hold a griev-
zee against another, but is that
treason why he should feel i'm
cd to draw a pistol and shoot
ether man to death on sight?
As rule men who are always lug
e ng pistols around are not the men
yyho do >tne tne, intlling,Ss,, lNkSM dan
Serous man to trifle with - 4 he
2,nan who never goes armed.
Therefore why the necessity for
carrying pistol? 1t is imaginary
fear which causes a man to be
afraid of another who always car

habit in the days of his youth when
he regarded it as a show OF bravery
TO display his weapon. He coveted
the reputation of a dangerous
man" He wanted to be known
among his contemporaries as man
who would shoot" That is all very
well for a STRIPPING of a youth who
believes the world is his and that
he must assert his manhood" be-
fore he really acquires it. OF course
such a spirit is greatly to be de-
piored, but as it can't be prevented.
leaves and the youth gets well. But
when the age of reason comes and
the youth groRn-up discovers that
this world is not such a dangerous
place to live in after all, that all
his imaginary enemies have disap-
thieves and thugs do not lurk in
every convenient hiding place, he
continues to load his body down
with artillery and why? Simply be-
cause he acquired the habit early in
life and he feels uncomfortable
without his gun"
Pistol toting is a pernicious hab-
IL. 1t is almost as bad as drinking
and a great deal worse than chew
ing and smoking. 1t does not make
the public afraid of a man, but
makes the man afraid of himself.
!. he is fully conscious of the fact that
every day he breaks the law and he
cannot feel for himself as mucn re-
spect as he feels for the man who
tries to live by the law.
We are told that quite a num-
Der of men in Dillon are pistol tot
ers. We trust that our informant
mas exaggerated conditions. But a
newcomer told us recently that he
/. was warned to go armed in Dillon
as everybody down there carried
guns" We know that everybody
down here" does not carry gums"
but those who do should feel some
humiliation because their conduct
has given Dillon such an unworthy
name.

Frisco to Bridge Black River.

The February issue of the Fris- co man, the official paper of the Frisco System, contains picture of the new steel bridge to be erected across Black river at Po- cahontas this year.
 The total length of the propos- ed bridge will be 1,455 feet and the draw spans will be the larg- est on the Frisco line and one of the longest in the United States. The bridge will be located in the bned of the river and because of the difficult navigation at this point, the Uniteed States War De partment required a clear chan nel of 200 feet, resulting in the long swing span. The height from the water to the highest point is 90 feet. Work on the construction will be begun early in the spring.

NUMBER 2S3.
Exciting Elopement.

Miss Bessie Pierce and John Colts, two young Stone county people living near Buckhorn, had quite an exciting elopement last week, says the BatesvilIe Guard:
 Finding that they were very; near and dear to each other, and desiring to marry, despite the pro tests of the girls family, they de- cided to elope.
 They had hardly left home, how ever, according to the Anderson correspondent in the Melbourne Times, before the Pierce boys, brothers of the would-be brides started in hot pursuit. The chase was hot through Stone county and across the river to Gllion, where the couples eluded their pursuers by going over the noun tain back of the town, instead of keeping to the road. When about a mile out from Guion they SC cured passage in w. c. Hall's wagon, and after an hours ride they met Justice of tho Reacc IL H. Taylor, and the objecting par ties having taken the wrong trail, and being about eight miles distant, were happily married, d,and went on their way rejoicing.

FOUR CLUBS IN
 M. E A. LEAGUE
Paragould, Helena, Jonesboro and Blytheville To Open Sea-
 son May 1.

Paragould, March 5.-The Northeast Arkansas League will be a four-club circuit this year. This was the announcement of President Joe Bertig yesterday afternoon. At the mid-winter meeting a proposition was sub- mitted to the league to include Marianna, Ark, and Clarksdale, Miss. These clubs were to be ac- cepted providing that forfeit mo- ney was posted. Later, Presi- dent Bertig received applications from Poplar Bluff, Mo-, and Sikes town, Missouri, for berths in the. league.
 In view of the fact that none of these clubs have placed their for felt money, President Bertig an nounced today that the season would open May 1 with the fol lowing teams: Paragould, Hele- na, Jonesboro and Blytheville.

Buckner, dean of Trinity Cathedral, and late rector of Trinity church at Pine Bluff, as coadjutator to Bishop Brown.

When Acts Become Effective.

In response to request by Au- ditor lobe, Attorney-General Nor. wood has rendered the opinion that acts passed by the legisla- ture and approved by the govern or do not take effect until ninety days after the legislature has ad- journed. He states that other wise the referendum power grant ed the people by Amendment No. 10 would in many instances be Q nullity. Hence the road bill for Lee county just passed will not go into effect until ninety days after the adjournment of the leg islature.

JUDGE MUST
 ISSUE PROCESS
1s Contention of States Attor- ney Who Takes Matter to Su-
 preme Court.

Pine Bluff, March 4.-Dlstrict Attorney T. Havis Nixon today filed a petition in the supreme court at Little Rock asking for a wrif of mandamus to compel 1udge A. B. Grace of the Elev- enth judicial district to at once direct Circuit Clerk G. B. Lytle to issue process against John H. Dellmon, c. H. Herrick and Dr. s. D. Wilson, judges, and Will liam Miller and Jack Kerwin, clerks, who served at the First ward polling place in the prima- ry election in this county several months ago. Nixon, though a successful candidate for prosecu- ting attorney, charged irregular ities in the First ward and later, in presenting evidence before the grand jury, secured indictments against the judges and clerks on various charges from perjury to falsifying the returns of the elec- tion.
 At the time the indictments were returned on February 3 only one charge against each Of the defendants, that of perjury, and granted bail in the sum of $500 for each. District Attorney Nixon at that time asked that process be issued in each case, there being at least 75 counts in various indictments against each of the accused men.

May Allow Liquor Advertising. Special to Independent.

Little Rock, March 6.-There is strong sentiment in the house to pass the Buerkle bill, introduc- ed last Friday, which will permit papers in prohibition counties to public advertisements for liquor concerns. This bill has been read twice and no effort has been made to send 1t to a committee, as the house desires to pass upon it directly. Mir. Buerkle states that his bill was introduced to cut out the bill passed in 1907, which works a hardship on the country editor and prevents his getting profits which now go to the city. papers. Mir. Buerkle points out that the evil which the bill of 1907 sought to correct still exists, as the city papers, with wide circulation in the dry counties, are permitted to carry these advertisements into the pro- hibition counties. While many of the country papers will not carry liquor advertisements, yet there are many who believe they are discriminated against, and for that reason, even these, will SUD- port the measure.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDEG.
Newport People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kid
 ney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trou- ble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fa- tigue. Neglect these warnings, and there is immediate dan ger of dropsy, Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here $ Newport proof:
 Mrs. l.. c. Blackburn, Newport, Ark, says: "For many years l was annoyed by dull pain in the small of my back. I was lan- guid most of the time, felt tired and worn out and noticed that the kidney secretions were unnat- ural. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro- cured at Dutton's drug store, went directly to the seat of my trouble and brought me relief. l heartily recommend this remedy to all sufferers from kidney com plaint. "

Jonesboro, March 5.-The grant jury, which concluded its work Friday, asks to have the lid in this city put on tight and her. medically sealed, so far as viola lations of the Sunday law are con cerned.
 The report, says: "We find that drug stores in Jonesboro and other towns in the county keep open on Sunday and sell any thing from their stock and the same as on any other day. While this is a violation of the law, yet insomuch as 1t has been { custom for years, we did not deem 1t wise to indict, but would re- cos-mend in the future that drug s.tres be closed on Sunday the same as other buSlneSS houses, ,eX- cept that on demand the druggist may provide the necessary medi- oines in cases of sickness, and that this law be enforced the same as other laws. We further recommend that all cold drink stands, cigar and tobacco stands, fruit stands, ice cream parlors and all other such places of bar ter be closed on the Lords day. And we pray your honor to call the attention of the sheriff to this natter
