BUSINESS MEN
 ENDORSE FAIR
To Be Held At San Diego Same Time As Frisco Exposi-
 tioh.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 19.-Eighty prominent business men of Lit tie Rock Monday afternoon gave their endorsement to the Pana- ma-California Exposition to be held in San Diego, California, in 1915, in commemoration of the opening of the Panama Exposi- tion. It is an enterprise that is independent of the San Fran cisco Exposition, and while in- ternational in it's scope will deal largely with the Latin-Alnerican countries.
 The business men entertained at luncheon at the Hotel Marion D. c. Collier, director general of the Exposition, and G. Grosve- nor Dave, manager of the South ern Commercial Congress, of Washington, D. c. They are travelling through the Southern states working for a diversion of Southern traffic to California points. Addresses were deliv- cred by the guests, which dealt with the progress that is being made in the South and the great CT things for the future.
 San Diego, a city of only 50,- GOO, has shown the unexampled nerve of raising one million dol lars in subscriptions and issuing one million dollars in bonds for holding an exposition at the same time with San Francisco. Messrs. Dave and Grosvenor left last night for Texarkana and Shreveport.

NUMBER 145.
Want Inter-County Road.


 Helena, Sept. 18.-Helena is determined upon the construc- tion of a roadway between this city and Forrest City, the object of the endeavor being the inter- section of the great Trans State" thoroughfare now in course of construction between St. Louis and Hot Springs. County Judge Greenfield Quarles is making every effort to carry this project through to it's final success and to this end has placed himself in communi- cation with the county officials of the counties of Lee and St. Francis.
 The Phillips county official, in his prospectus of the road, con- templates the building of the line straight from this city to the county line of Lee county. At this point the effort is being made to have the Lee county officer continue the work of cons struction on the district line of St. Francis county, where the same procedure will be observed.
 The building of this road is regarded here with the greatest of interest, and Helena, through it's construction and mainte- nance, would be placed in direct connection with the entire coul1- ty north to St. Louis, not to speak of the various sectiQnm with which she would 0e
 tact within this state. Another feature that is being considered with great care is that of the expense commensur- ate to the value of the road and it's bearing in the future to this county, the cost to be one of the last considerations. Helena needs this road and her officials are determined upon having it for her. Therefore, it is expect ed that Judge Quarlcs will have something definite to say with regards to same in the not re- mote future.

Wiley on the va}ue of Cot. t0nSeed Oil.

M these days when so much is being said about the purity of food products, and the healthful- ness of different foods, it is re- freshing to hear what the great authority, Dr. Wiley, has to say about cottonseed oil and it's pro- ducts.
 The quotation given is from an address Dr. Wiley made be- fore the Interstate Crushers' As sociation in New York last June.
 You have a meritorious arti- cle, you have learned how to purify it and make it palatable and attractive, and you have ev- erything now but the confidence Iof the public and the knowledge on the part of the consumer how to use your product. Put a lit- tie effort in that line, and you will see what wonderful returns you will have. l do not believe there is a man, woman or child in this country, if the consump- tion of cottonseed oil was com- mon today throughout this broad land, but what would have better health and be 3 better judge of what is good to eat, and be happier, by reason of his better health, than he is today, so I am pleading for the benefit of the public, I am pleading for 9 wider publicity of your pro- duct, for cottonseed oil as a hu- man food"

Night Marshal West Arrested.v


 Warrants were issued M(n- dal Hmorning from the mayors office at Batesville says the Guard, for John Mcclure and Deputy Marshal Chas. West up- on complaint of Mrs. Mont Chumley. Mrs. Chumley states that she and her sister-in-law, Emma Welborn, were awakened about ? o'clock Sunday morning by someone knocking at their front door of their home i11 the lower part of town. Investiga- tions showed it to be the above two parties, and when Emma Welborn went to the door to in- quire what was wanted, McGuire introduced the night watchmal,, who stated that he had come to make search of the place. He proceeded to do this, according to the story of the two women, and his conduct they say was very unbecoming in that he kicked a door in when Mrs. Chumley closed it while she was dressing It seems that Nc Guire was only a spectator to the proceedings.
 Night Marshal West, upon be- ing questioned relative to the matter stated that John Me- Guire came to him late Saturday night and told him that he could take him to place where he could either discover gambling, whiskey selling or another un- lawful business, and insisted that the officer go with him to the place. He states that Nc Guire's positive manner in as- serting that he could show 2 violation of the law, and his word picture of the place and events in his knowledge, led the officer to believe that he should seach the place. He states that in company with Me Guire he went to the place and demanded entrance, and made a thorough search of the premises for evidence of the things whi h Mcclure had delineated to him, and finding none he departed as he came. The officer states that he is an important witness in some of the pending whiskay cases, and that this event IS "frame-up" on him from the be ginning, to either intimidate him, or force him to leave the city. West came here as a rail- road laborer some time ago and has only recently been put on the night police force.
 Mcclure is said to be in hiding until the affair blows over.
