Clarke Wins In 1scIksatiop
That Delegates From State
Should Be Free.

Special to the Independent.
Little Rock Jan. 5.-The
withdrawal of the resolution Of
fered by James H. Harrod in the
meeting of the State Democrat
ic Central Committee Thursday,
asking that the >names Of the
Presidential possibilities be plac-
ed upon the tickets used in the
March primaries in order that
the people state whom they pre-
fer, does not mean that Wilson
is not the Arkansas favorite.
MIR. Harrod is a leading attor-
ney in Little Rock and one of
the founders of a Wilson club in
this city. Senator Clarke lead
the opposition to the resolution,
stating that Arkansas, which
will be a factor in the selection
of the Democratic presidential
nominee, should not be at the
present time tied to any candi-
date. He spoke of how the cam
didates shot up and fell like
rockets, their boom lasting but
a few days, which would make
the Arkansas delegation liable
to be supporting a dead one in
a few months, if pledged at the
March primary.
Senator Clarke even intimat-
ed that he favored Wilson, but
thought the delegates should be
left free to vote for the man
who can swing New York and
the Eastern states necessary to
make a success of the nominal
ton. The balance of the dele
gates were SO evidently of the
same opinion that Mr.. Harrod
asked that his resolution be
withdrawn.
The resolution introduced by
Edgar Brewster of Pine Bluff

attorney the right to. have re-

occurred Saturday night, and with it
considerable ice The cold from the
hail storm of Texas must have
reached US. The weather has, how
ever, been ideal most of the season

of hard times, is mystery. Crops
are much better than anticipated in
the early season and prices are very
good, indeed. Let all take courage
and put forth new efforts and new
resolutions to build up better homes,
etter churches, better schools, better
communities and better roads to
reach them all. Good roads add much
value to every county and state, Ev-

"TELLS THE WHOLE STORY"

To say that Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound is best for children and
grown persons, and contains no Opt
ates, tells only part of the tale. The
whole story is that it is the best med
icine for coughs, colds, cron bron-
chitis and other affections of the
throat, chest and lungs. Stops la
grippe, coughs and has a healing and
soothing effect. Remember the name

POINTS ABOUT THE FOUNTAIN
Excellent Rules to Be Observed by
Those Thinking About Setting Up
Ono of These Ornaments.

A fountain should be a garden orna.
ment; a statement that needs to be
kept in mind, for almost every one
knows of fountains that are neither
garden ornaments nor ornamental in
themselves. A very excellent rule Is
never I'd set up a.. fountafn unless 1t is
good and beautiful in itself, and fills a
definite place in the garden scheme.
DO not, in any event, use it simply
because it happens to be handy. Fall
ing water is always beautiful, and the
function of a fountain Is to introduce
falling water into the garden-a result
that is not the less true because it
must first be projected upward before
1t can come down. Everything in this
device should look toward beauty. The
fountain itself should be good to look
upon, whether 1t be a simple vase, a
fish, bird or human figure. The more
complicated the device the more diff
cult the artistic problems involved;
for the human figure is Of all subjects,
the most difficult for the artist. If hui
man figures are used, they must be
we'll done, or it would be better to
break up the fountain and discard 1t
altogether. The water part must also
be well arranged, and adapted in vol
ume and in form to the structure OF
the fountain. Finally, it must be Sc
placed as to harmonic with the gar
den scheme.
