 In Ghnroia

ATLANTA, Dec. 23.-The decline Of the Woodrow Wilson presidential boom in Georgia and the surround ing states is most notable.
 Here in Atlanta 1t has had a conspicuous illustration. Some weeks ago there was widely advertised a great Woodrow Wilson southern rally. to be held in Atlanta, the capital of the Wilson boom, during the last week of November. Prom inent speakers from several south ern and northern states had been invited, including William c. Me Adoo, the New York tunnel man, who is said to be very active in Wilson's interest in New York. The occasion was advertised as the most significant and inspiring political event of the democratic revival.
 Suddenly this great Wilson rally is called off. the invitation are with

HARTMAN MERGER LEGAL
Combining of Union and Southern Pacific Railroads Was Not In
 Restraint of Trade.

Edward Fl. Harriman's gigantic mer- ger of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, railroads was not combina- tion in restraint of trade, according to a decision handed down by the United States circuit court of appeals in St. Paul and in St. Louis.
 The decision. which Is clear victory for the railroads, ends litigation start ed by the government three years ago. The chief allegation was that the liar rIman interests had conspired to mo nopolize traffic to the Pacific coast.
 The decision vindicates the greatest coup of Harriman's career in the manipulation of railroad properties. After he had entrenched himself in Union Pacific control he got the Hunt. ington and other large holdings in Southern Pacific and then united con trol of more than 15,ood miles of road.

CORNELL CREW WINS
 BIG COLLEGE REGATTA
Columbia COIIapSeS After Lead
 Ing Nearly All the Way.

After leading for nearly three arfd three-quarter miles the Columbia var sity crew blew up and Cornell, sud denly bringing up with a wonderful burst of speed, forged to the front and won one of the most sensational eight pared boat races ever rowed in this country.
 Columbia's sudden defeat was par tially due to lack of stamina. k. W. Sage, bow oar in the Columbia shell, collapsed when the crew had q quar- ter of mile to go. He fell forward on his oar and caused No 2 to catch a crab. Sage pluckily tried to resume his task and rowed Il few strokes when he crumpled up again and was helpless. AS the New York shell reached the first line Downing stroke oar, reeled over and almost fell into the river.
 Columbia, however, was victorious in the freshman race by n length and a half. Coach Rice's youngsters, after n short, decisive struggle with Cornell for the leadership, went to the front and remained there to the end. Cor nell finished less than length in front of Syracuse: Pennsylvania was next, half length back, and Wisconsin last.
 Cornell was victorious in the four pared event, beating Syracuse three quarters of length. Columbia was third, the same distance away, with Pennsylvania last, nearly fifteen lengths out of it. {.
 The official times were:
 Varsity Races.-Cornell. 20:10 4-5; Columbia, 20:16 4-5; Pennsylvania, 20:83; Wisconsin, 20:34: Syracuse, q :03 2-5.

 July without an inordinate amount of noise would not have been deemed a proper observance Of the day. Of course as a byproduct of that annual display of patriotism a certain number of persons invariably lost their lives through their own carelessness or that of somebody else and n still lar ger number of individuals sacrificed various portions of their anatomy in their efforts to show proper respect to the nation and the nations heroes upon this great national holiday.
 Personally 1 am glad to see that the. day of the noisy and dangerous Fourth is rapidly drawing to a close. 1t is true that we still have fireworks and all sorts Of explosive toys with which children may blow out their lives or secure an attack of lockjaw with the smallest possible difficulty. and yet at the same time the signs of the times indicate very clearly that 1t will not be many years before all American municipalities will follow the example of Springfield, Mass, and Detroit, Mich, by giving their children a diff ferent means of observing Independ ence day.
 In the smaller towns and cities this change in the public sentiment is far more noticeable than in some of the larger places. but when the tide has turned as conspicuously as 1t has to- day there can be little doubt 'as to the nature of the final results.
 Fifteen or twenty years ago it would not have been possible for any body of city fathers te have undertaken to have suppressed the noise of the chil dren on the Fourth of July. The chiI. dren would have been up in arms in no time, and even the parents would have declined to stand for such an in- novation. Gradually. however. the work of the daily newspapers In ex plotting the horrible chapters of acci gan to see to what an extent the an nual sacrifice of life and limb had grown, and they commenced to be i'm pressed by the fact that 1t was sac rifce that was absolutely unnecessary. The explosion of so many tons of pow der made a great noise. but 1t did not rebound one iota to the honor of the brave men to whose patriotism we owe our national existence.
 The fact that we are actually begin. ming to realize this truth after all these years indicates that-as l have said-the day of the noisy Fourth will soon be over, and l am certain that, with the possible exception of the Are works manufacturers, nobody will be sorry. We shall still continue to cele- brate the Fourth-there is no doubt as to that-and we will celebrate it more enjoyably if we make it, as several cities are doing this year, an occasion of innocent amusements rather than a day of incalculable dangers

The Cannon Cracker

 Beside our Tommy's bed , Tomorrow" sighed the cracker.

 And sought dark and lonely dell Where drops of moisture stood On the flowers and grass. He chuckIed,
 "This is the place for me-" And sat down on a cold, damp
 stone. Beside messy tree.
 The woodland creatures gathered : And gazed with startled eyes
 And listened to his tale of woe With murmurs of surprise. , Said the selfish, boastful cracker; . "You see, used my wits.
 My brothers in that fatal box Will all be blown to bits,

 And dared to act"- Per BANG!

CR TIC MAY BE
 COURT-MARTIALED
And If Convicted Will Be Dis missed From State Ser
 vice.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 13.-lt IS probable that there will bel courts-martial growing out of the severe condemnation by cer- tain members of the National Guard of officer who assigned the rifle team that recently re- presented the state at the Camp Perry rifle shoot. There is one member who has been especially vindictive who is likely to be called upon to defend himself before a court-martial, and in the event he is adjudged guilty, he will be dismissed from the service. No more severe penal ty that that is provided.
 Gen. Compere, in discussing the row that has been raised ov- CT the shoot, said: "For three years, the high shots in the mil- itia, among the enlisted men, were chosen as the team to rep resent us at Camp Perry, and they also came out at the bot tom. This year a different plan was pursued. Fifteen out of the twenty-one commanding officers making the highest scores were chosen, more for the practice than with the expectation that they would win prizes. And they shot about as well as any of them."
 The shoot at the Fort Logan H. Roots rifle range this week is bringing out some high guns, and the enlisted men, who are alone participating, are getting some excellent practice. There are about 150 entered, with four selected marksmen from each company, and some very elegant prizes are being put up. The re ] cent rifle practice at Beebe, Fort Smith and Russellville, was only preliminary. The regimental contest is taking place today, with a team of twelve men from each regiment. The range at Fort Roots, at 1000 yards, is one of the best in the state.

WOULD ORGANIZE
 NEW COUNTY
From Parts Of Independence, Jackson, White And
 Cleburne.

A new county with Pleasant Plains as the county-seat, with
 Independence, Jackson, White
 and Cleburne, contributing to it's
 makeup will be sought before
 the next legislature.
 J. H. Shannon of Pleasant
 Plains, a former citizen of the
 Island, informed the Independ-
 ent while here Tuesday that an
 organization to this end would
 be perfected in the near future, as one meeting for this purpose has already been held.
 From Jackson, they will ask Barren Township and that part of Glaize west of the Iron Noun tain; from Independence the townships of Christian, Fair view, Liberty, Rosie, Salado and Relief; from White, the eight townships east of Lit tie Red River and from Cle- burne, one township lying east of that river.
 The promoters are anxious to| boom Pleasant Plains and think that if a county were organized, a new railroad could be secured through that section. Pleasant Plains business men in one hour secured 5000 pledged toward the building of court house and will raise several thousand more before the presentation of their cause to the legislature.

GATES REPLIES
 TO NORWOOD
Declares That Attorney Genera Misrepresents T. J. Bills
 Provisions.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 13.-Botfl Governor Donaghey, proponent of the Turner-Jacobson bill, and Attorney General Norwood, op- ponent, are well pleased with the reception they had at Darda- nelle, where they discussed the merits of the revenue measure last Monday. Each considers that he strengthened his cause by the representation of argu- ment in support of his conten- tion. asi x N sss,4'ass.~-
 Gen. Norwood contends that the law centralizes power in the hands of the Tax Commission, because it gives but six weeks for appeal from the County Board, and because it is uncon- stitutional as it was passed at a special session of the Legislature which was called to reduce taxa tion, and not to raise it.
 Commissioner Gates asserts that Gen. Norwood misses the mark in every statement he makes in reference to the bill, and at some length proceeds to show how it is missed" He con- cludes- with the statement that Eff the opponents of the Turner Jacobson bill spent half as much time trying to find out what it really does, as they are in trying to raise false issues, they might in the course of time learn what are the bills provisions"

 At any rate," said the vener- able judge, as he read the stat ute in question, T shall endeavor to test this statute in connection with one of these cases and let the State Supreme Court pass upon the matter and settle it finally. If the present statutes do not cover such cases of neg lect and even inhumanity there certainly should be such revision of our statutes as will reach these cases specifically.

Will Kill Army Worm.

B. F. Mackey of near Jones' boro, a progressive farmer, states that he has found a way to keep the army worm from running his cotton crop, which had proven a great success. He claims to have scattered a barrel of lime to each acre of cotton which has caused the worms to fall off the cotton and not bother it again.
 Other farmers of that section have used Paris green with good results. This is sprayed upon the plant and is much more ex- pensive than lime. The army worm has undoubtedly helped some early cotton and is also running the late planted, whose owners were expecting fair top crop even after all the rains.
