WHITE RIVER ON A RAMPAGE

The excessive rains for the last few days have caused the White River to overflow its banks, there by entailing the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the far mers all along its valley. The river has been rising steadily since last Saturday, and on We'd nesday reached a point, only about two or three fet below the highest water stage, and every acre of land, except the highest level of the bottoms are entirely submerged. Thousands of acres of acres of corn and cotton are lost. This does not apply only to the White river valley, but numerous creeks and small streams in the upper White river country have washed the crops away.

Independence Arkansas. Friday
TAFT VETOES ARIZONA
 STATEHOOD BILL

Wm. H. Taft has vetoed the bill admitting Arizona to state hood. His reasons, set out for vetoing said measure is, that its constitution provides for the re- call of the judiciary.
 The people of Arizona have framed their constitution, and compiled 1t according to their liking, and were supported by a majority of both house and Senate.
 In resorting to his veto power, after congress and the people of Arizona had voted, by such de- cisive majorities in favor of it's constitution, President Taft is violating all precedent. President Roosevelt was opposed to the ad- mission of Oklahoma, under it's present constitution as formulated, and protested against its admis- sion to the last, but never did at tempt to, nor did he think he had the right to deny the terri tory the right to statehood.

MAKES
 GOOD SHOWING

The total acreage in Arkansas farms increased from 1900 to 1910 only 1 per cent, according to a re- port of the Census Bureau; but the acreage of improved land increas- ed 10 per cent, and the value of lands 133 per cent. The value of farm buildings increased 109 per cent, and that of implements and machinery g per cent. The aver age value per acre of lands and buildings in 1910 was S17.73, against $8.13 in 1900. The aver age size of farms decreased in the decade from 95 to 81 acres.
 In 190O5 there were reported a total of 178,694 farms of which 131,711, or n per cent were run by white farmers and 46,983, or 20 per cent were run by negroes or other eolored farmers. In 1910, out of a total of 214,275 farms, white men run only 150920 or 70 per cent, and negroes, 63,355 or 30 per cent. There are reported 106,- 535 farms worked by owners and 106,985 by tenants. Tenant farm ing has grown much more rapidly Mortgages are reported on 22,359 farms.
 We venture the prediction, that by 1920 land values will have inI creased more the last decade. It will pay you 10 invest in Arkansas land.

There were 25 pres ent. May Mr. and Mrs. Jernlgan live to enjoy many more such oc- casions. From there we drove ov- CT to the home of that good old friend, G. A. Hugg, where we found quite a number of people waiting for us, and especially ba- bies. Those present were Ed Hugg of Cathey Town, brother of MT. Hugg, his three sons and their families, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Byrum and their children and some others that we did not know. We made the largest group of babies, there, we ever made, there being nine Ill all. but of course the little folks are the life of a picture and we are always glad to meet them.

MORE BRYANISM

On the 18th of August, at Co., lumbus, Ohio, Mir. Bryan is report ed to have uttered in the presence of a large audience the following: T intend to devote all my time be- tween now and the nomination to finding out things about the candi- dates for the democratic nomina- ton for president. l know all the leading men of the party, those who have hindered and those who have helped 1t. When the time comes to name the man for the candidacy, 1 will not be silent.
 am going to give the demo- cratic party all the information l possess about the prospective can didates, so it may choose the right man for the head of the ticket
 It is queer to us that MT. Bryan still assumes the role of dictator for the democratic party, and too it is still more strange that the party will, in all probability, cater to his demands when the time comes. Mir. Bryan is a great man, but he has outgrown the people. He presumes to be greater than his party for according to our sys- tenn of free government, the peo- pie should select their candidate.
