This Newport citizen testified long ago.
 Told of quick relief-of last ing benefit.
 The facts are now confirmed.
 Such testimony is complete the evidence conclusive.
 It forms convincing proof of merit.
 w. I. Hall R. F. D. 2, Newport, Ark, says 'I have never lost ao opportunity during the past six years to praise and recommend Doan's Kidney Pills for what they have done for me as we'll as other members of my family. They have made such complete cures of kidney trouble that it has not been necessary for us to take them or any other kidney medicine during the past three years. One member of the fam ily took Doan's Kidney Pills for trouble with the kidney secre- tions, together with a weak and painful back. They cured her later I used them for a similar complaint. Their action in my case was just as satisfactory and I was quickly cured. Doan's Kidney Pills were obtained at Dutton's Drug Store and have always been so beneficial that l willingly verify our former en- dorsement of them.'

DRAIN CACHE
 IN CRAIGFIEAD
Will Reclaim 150,000 Acres Of Good Land in Border
 County.

JonesbOro, August 15.-The Cache River Drainage Ditch As sociatiOn was organized yester- day in this city by land owners along the Cache river in this county. The following board of directors were elected: A. M. Ponder, Walnut Ridge, A. E. Lockhart, Joneshoro, and J. H. Hamilton Cash.- MT. Ponder was elected president, and MT. Lockhart, secretary.
 The board employed the Mor- gan Engineering Co.,, of Mem phis, as civil engineers, and Sen ator T. A. Turner as attorney for the district. The drainage will be connected with the drain age ditch of Greene and Law renee counties.
 It is estimated that the drain age will redeem at least 150, 1000 acres of fine bottom lands. The estimate of bonds is S5O0,OOO. Work will be started at once to get everything in line for the granting of the district in this county and to have the work done at the earliest possible time.

 Robinson caught a freight train that morning and went to Poplar Bluff unknown to the Of ficers who took a different trail, Deputy Sheriff McCuistion re- ceived a tip that Robinson had an aunt there and had probably gone to that place. He telephon- ed the authorities there who cap tured Robinson and held him for the deputy sheriff who returned home with his prisoner Tuesday

Breaks Record Five Feet.

Beebe, Aug. 14.-Railway traffic has been paralyzed, farms inundated and all field crops greatly damaged as the result of floods which followed the terrif- ic downpour of rain which has occurred here in the last "A hours. The railroad tracks across the Bull creek bottoms, two miles north of Beebe, have been swept away by the water, which is five feet higher than ever known before.
 Great damage has been done the crops, in many places noth- ing but the tassels of the corn can be seen above the water Hundreds of acres of cotton are covered with water, and the croI may be almost a total loss in tho flooded sections.
Newport daily independent., 1911-08-16

corn and cotton are wiped out. Clete Bell loses 75 acres Of corn and Mason Bros. below Jackson port have 100 acres of cotton and corn under water.
 The Massey farm of 10 acres of corn on Black at Point Ferry is hopelessly lost.
 In Upper Oil Trough, 100 acres of cotton and corn on the V. Y. Cook place is gone.
 The Dunnington place has over 100 acres of corn under the rivers flood and at Oil Trough, the big Jones bottom of 200 acres of corn is ruined.
 At Oil Trough, the river reg istered in this rise 4 feet higher than in April, while at Newport the gauge reading will probably be less now than for the April overflow, showing how largely White River alone contributed to the destructive overflow.
 From all sections of the coun- ty, reports show that the rains were general over Jackson and the loss to the cotton crop from the excessive rainfall will doubt less materially reduce the coun- tvs yield, for in many fields the plant growth has been prolific with little fruitage as a result.

S50,O0l) WANTED

Ask National Fund To Eradi- cate Boil Weevil And Cot
 ton Pests.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Repre- sentative Heflin has introo,ced q a bill appropriating S5O,0O) for material to be used by the dc- partment of agriculture for the eradication of the boil weevil and caterpillar.
 MT. Heflin has been advised that the cotton crop in Alabama has been much injure.. by the ravages of the caterpiill" partic- ularly. He contends that the bears who have been predicting a bumper crop have far oversho5 the mark since, with recently heavy rains, the mischief done by the boil Weevil and caterpillar has been enormous.
 The congressman has just re- ceived the following letter from Dr. w. E. Kinds, professor of en- tonology at the Alabama Poly technic Institute, Auburn, in which he writes:
 Cannot Supply Poison.
 "For some time we have been doing the utmost to awaken the planters to the seriousness of the present situation and have them fully prepared to meet it.. I believe that our efforts will at least meet with this measure of success; that there will be a de- mand for more poison than the entire Eastern United States can supply. We have taken steps d. ready to bring into Alabama the entire available supply of the large insecticide manufacturers centering around New York and the Middle West. This amounts to several hundred tons of Parls green and powdered arsenate of lead. It is all that can possibly be secured, and, in addition, sev- eral firms are starting to manu- facture in anticipation that the demand may continue long enough for the new product to be placed in the field.
 At the present time you will be interested to know that we have reports of the worm in fif- ty counties of the state. In many places even this first crop is do- ing extensive damage. As you know, the next crop will be the one to determine largely the damage for this season"

It is not to be 9 paper of sensa- tion, but of fact. It will not dea! in scandal or slander unless the good name of Arkansas is at stake.
 Clio Harper, editor in chief of the paper, was IS years with the Arkansas Democrat, retiring to enter the Parke-I1arper News Service. He will write editorials that will wake up the state.
 4. w. Parke, associate editor, is also we'll known to the people of Arkansas through his many years service in Arkansas jour- nalism. He has a pen which can strike fire, and which can be ex- pected to do so.

Pitchers Keep Ball Low.

1t is noticeable fact that the most
successful pitchers these days are
those who seldom pitch high ball.
and yet there was time when the
high ball had the batters guessing.
Today. however. the pitcher with the
high ones does not last long. The
batsmen have mastered this delivery
and the pitchers have been forced to
change their style of pitching entire
ly. There are decidedly few players
these days who hit the low balls and
very few who cannot hit a high one.
Most of the long hits made during a
season are on balls that are pitched
above the waist. Not only is II cas-
Ter to follow the course of ball
which is pitched on about a level
with the waist line. but the swing In
most instances is more natural.
