This cold change will reach Alabama
by Monday night and we will then ex-

The cold change caused moderate pre-
cipitation throughout the western Mis-

We will probably have some rain in
Alabama Monday or Monday night in

Temperatures are. generally higher

HEAVY RAIN
ENDS DROUIH
Rainfall Was Heaviest Since
Spring and Was General
Over This Section.

While most Of Jackson Coun-
ty has not sustained loss to
crops by reason Of drouth, some
sections had missed most of the
showers and ram was not only
needed for corn, but cotton as
well. The real rain began early
Sunday morning and continued
through half the day, making q
total precipitation on the govern
ment gauge of 2.3 inches.
The rain was general not only
over jackson County, but the
whole of North Arkansas, Civ
ing the ground and even subsoil
a soaking that will insure the
corn crop and help cotton, unless
the wet season should contiue
and then great damage might
result to the crop apparently al
ready made.
A rise Of 10 feet in the river
at Batesville is reported and
White rose here from 1.S feet on
the gauge Sunday to 81 feet
Monday morning and at noon
had climbed about 5 feet furth-
err.
The White River passenger
train No. 209 was first delayed
bv a slide between Bransom and
HOLSTER and then by a bridge
washing out this side of Syla-
more which may interrupt traf-
fic a day or two, though a train
will in the meanwhile be run
from here to that point, where
baggage and passengers may be
transferred to another train
running west.

No Respite For Davidson.

Little Rock, Aug. 11.-Odus
Davidson must hang at Harrison
today for the murder Of Miss
Ella Barham whom he killed No
vember 21. 1912, Judge E. G.
Mitchell, Davidson's chief coun-
sci, made his last appeal yester-
day to Governor George w.
Hays, who at q late hour last
night telegraphed to Harrison
that he would not interfere. In
an appeal which Judge Mitchell
is said to have sent TO Govern Of
Hays and q copy sent to the Ga
zette by its correspondent,
Judge Mitchell stated that he
been under the impression that
Davidson would be granted a re-
spite of 10 days so that his case
might be taken to Justice Van
Devanter of the United States
District Court.

PROPOSE TO
HAVE A STAFF
Hays Will Return to Old Custom
and Pomp of Early
Governors.
Special to independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 11.-Run-
ming ahead of other states in
most things, Arkansas is now 60
ing to pull up even with her Sis
ter states in the matter of cere-
monial display. Gov. G. w. Hays
is to have a staff-not staff up
on which to lean, but yet a sup
porting staff.
Not since w. NJ. Fishback was
governor, has Arkansas had a
real, perfectly uniformed staff.
Governor Jeff Davis appointed a
number of close friends on his
"staff," but none of those he
honored purchased the regula-
ton uniform, of gold braid and
broadcloth. Only once did his
staff assemble, and it came that
time woefully and wonderfully
attired. One or two wore the un-
form of the Arkansas National
Guard, and several others ap-
peared in uniforms of other de-
scriptions. A photograph of the
staff of Governor Davis shows
one of the uniformed officials
wearing a derby hat.
Gov. Hays expects to have the
real thing in the staff line. All
other states have q governor S
staff, composed of ten or twelve
close friends of the chief execu-
tive, who accompany him upon
state occasions, adding splendor
to the turnout with their cooked
hat and generous decoration
with gold braid. This is what
Gov. Hays believes the state
should have, and he is now pre-
pairing the list of the men he
will appoint upon his staff.
The men who appear upon the
staff of Gov. Hays will all be
large in statute, and with a mill
tary bearing, as he desires good
showing when upon dress parade.
1T is probable the staff will be
asked to accompany Gov. Hays
/ to celebrations in nearby states,
and he wants to create most
favorable impression there.

accounts for the failure Of

dren to send them to that insti-
tuition, is the opinion of Judge
Rand Love, of the State Beard
of Charities.
Judge Love has been making

TO have the 80 blind children
who are not enrolled at the blind
school, sent to the Institution

There are three blind children in

county, less than 20 miles from
the school, whose parents have
never entered them, though an
nually solicited to do so. The
parents cannot fathom the inter

Plea For The Bachelor.

In the Diggs and Cincinnati
cases the state will not have
bachelors on the jury. Neither
does it favor married men with
out children.
The effort Of the state is to
get men of families, the mem
bers of the families being both
sexes.
This fact is an indictment a.
gainst bachelorhOod. That q
bachelor might be easier with q
young man who had deceived a
girl or had become involved in an
affair with a girl wise to the
ways of the world, is not credit
able to those who are in this
state of life. And do not believe
the inference is just. A mans
regard for a good woman is bas-
ed upon his character regardless
of his being married Or unmar-
ried.-Commercial Appeal.

Big Cypress Tree Found.

Dermott, Aug. 10.-What is
said to be the second largest cy-
press tree in the world has been
found on a tract in the timber in
the Mississippi bottoms owned
by the Fee-Crayton Lumber Co.
of this place. This giant of the
forest is estimated to be over
1900 years old, is 13 feet in di-
ameter, has $4,000 feet of lum-
Der in the first IL feet from the
stump, and contains approx
mately $4,000 feet of lumber
The company has offered S75O
merely for the clearing OF the
right of way, so that the tree
may be put on the bank OF the
Mississippi river.

Campaign Against Malaria.

Camden, Aug. 9.-Dr. r. H.
Won Ezdorf Of the United States
Public Health Service, has been
here for several days making
plans for malaria survey of
this section of the state. DR..
Won Ezdorf agrees with DR.. Nor
gan Smith, president Of the
State Board Of Health, that the
proper time to make the sur
vey will be during September.
The work will be started Septem-
Der l.
Blood examinations of patients
suffering with malaria will be
made, as we'll as examinations of
the various mosquitoes found in
this section of the state. DR..
Won Ezdorf said that practically
every case of malaria was due to
transmission of the germ by
germ bearing mosquitoes, and
that the old idea that miasma
coming from swamps produced
malaria, has been exploded by
scientific tests.
The work also will include a
number of lectures on the sub
ject of malaria, with instruc-
ton in the proper method of de-
stroying the mosquitoes and the
consequent malaria.

PROGRESS EAST

Drouth Has Injured Cotton Crop
In Texas, Oklahoma and
Part of Arkansas.

+ The cotton crop made remark
able progress east Of the Missis-
sippi river during the last fort
night. West Of the river there
was considerable deterioration,
except in most Of Arkansas and
Louisiana, on account of the eX-
tremeIy dry, hot weather, says
the Commercial Appeal. Con
sidered as a whole the improve
ment in the one section about off
sets the deterioration in the 9th
er, so that the period may prop
erly be considered a stand-off.
East Of the river there was
plenty Of rain, with an abund-
ance of sunshine. Under these
favorable weather conditions the
plant grew rapidly and fruited
heavily. 1t is strong, healthy
and vigorous, has made up all its
