IN PRAISE OF DR.. JOHNSON
Consul General Griffiths Ex-
Mains Dislike of Americans.

TJchfeld England. Sept lS.-The Ameri-
can Consul General In London. John l..
Grifiths. Oh his election to-day as presi-
dent Of the Samuel Johnson Society said
il was not altogether inappropriate that
an American should follow number OF
Scotsmen in paying tribute TO the cele-
brated English photographer essayist and
noet for the doctors dislike OF Americans
WAS as senseless as his antipathy for the
people of Scotland. Johnson's attitude
toward Americans. Mr.. Grifiiths said. was
explicable when It was remembered that
he could not conceive any persecution be-
ing sufficiently oppressive to induce Eng
lishmen TO leave their native country.
Mr.. Grfiths concluded by saying that
nowhere was Johnson more generously
admired than in the land whose inhabi-
tants he REGARDED with SO much suspicion
and distrust.

Iceberes 1000 Feet High.

"Mr. Macmillan was in a predica-
ment" said Judge Sprigg. The west
side Of South Sound was piled up with
ice. Scattered through this Sierra-like
field were huge icebergs. Some We're
a mile or so long and stood 1000 feet
high. We reached Etah on August IS.
and from that time repeated attempts
were made to find a lead in the field
or to force a path through it. but it
was impossible. Mr. Macmillan was
anxious 10 get as far up as possible. for
every mile we made meant many miles
Of sledGing saved later. Several small
openings were found in the field, but
The ice was too restless to risk entering
them. These would have gained some
advantage, but the danger was too
great. and with no prospects Of any
immediate lettering Of conditions we
had 10 return 10 Etah.'
To have pushed on would have been
10 face TWO conditions. One was the
loss Of the ship. The other to freeze
her in all winter Either would have
put an end to the expedition right
there The Erik carried three years
supplies for six officers and twenty

been frozen in for the winter there
would have been all her crew 10 feed. II
she were lost, even with all supplies
saved. which might not be the case
the situation would have been even
worse. and either would have been the
death blow Of the expedition. Hence
Of three evils Mr. Macmillan chose
what TO him seemed the least, and re-
turned 10 Etah, where he decided to
pitch his winter quarters.
Etah is about fifty miles south Of
Flagler Bay, in Kane Basin. and is the
point from which Mr.. Macmillan had
intended TO start for his Greenland
work. The spot chosen for the camp
was a spot we'll sheltered by great
cliff about 200 feet high, Mr.. Patter-
son said. II faced the south and
seemed admirably suited TO the needs
Of the party.

ANOTHER WEEK
 WAS FAVORABLE
But Moisture Is Reported Need ed In Many States to Stim.
 ulate Growth.

Another favorable week has
 earned cotton somewhat further
 along toward maturity. Tenn
 peratures have been high stim-
 ulating rapid growth where the
 supply of moisture was suffi- cient and aiding greatly every 1 where in putting the plant into
 a more thrifty condition. There is some need for rain in Alabama, Mississippi. Tennes- see, Arkansas, Louisiana and at points in Georgia and in Texas, although in the latter two states the need is generally slight. As yet no deterioration is reported from lack ofmoisture anywhere, but in the states named, plant growth is deficient and since the soil IS dry rain would greatly stimulate growth.
 Cultivation remains most ex- cellent and it appears that rain alone is needed to boost the crop very rapidly. In the Carolinas cultivation made good progress during the week and there is now little fear of grass, but some of the cotton is still un- thrifty and there is considerable irregularity as to size the most of it being small.
 Blooms are not yet numerous except in the more southern parts of the belt and in northern districts are not expected be- fore July 1st to 5th, though the cotton is beginning to set Squares" well.
 Boil veevils have appeared over a wide area in Texas, but in less numbers and are slightly less numerous in Mississippi than one week ago.

To Enforce Blue Sky Law. Special to Independent.

Little Rock, June 28.- Now that the Blue Sky investment and insurance law has been de- clared valid by the Pulaski Chancery. Court, Col. J. J. Beav- CTS, the clerk in charge of this department of the State Audit or's office, has decided to start out with renewed vigor to round up all corporations of this sort in Arkansas and force them to take out a license.
 Under this law all companies with stocks or investments to sell must file Q statement show ing their business with the state auditor, and get Q permit to sell stock. Many companies of Arkansas have filed a partial statement, but have not secured the permits. Because there was an attack made upon the law, there was bit of laxity about it's enforcement, but now that the law has beeen declared va lid. Col. Beavers declares he will prosecute every company sell ing stock without first having secured a permit from his office.

day afternoon and had hardly finished saying You know what II did to McDougal and l licked Bill Carouthers," when the lat ter walked in and said to AL bright T want you to quit talk ing about me-"
 Witness had gone toward rear, when he heard Carouthers strike Albright and witness had put latter out of saloon and told him to go home. Witness testified Albright said he would, but he'd get a gun and kill Carouthers yet.
 Joe Pierce, employed at Dean & Hocking's stave mill was call ed by the state. He had gone in- to Anderson's saloon with Lee Connell about 4:15 Friday after noon and saw Carouthers strike Albright over the head. Wit ness also testified that when AL bright was put out of the saloon, he came around to the side door and told Carouthers he would treat him right or words to that effect.
 ALBRIGHT MADE THREATS.
 The testimony of one witness before the inquest jury Satur- day, which was strongly favor able to the defendant was not published by the Independent because the witness was placed on the stand after our reporter had left the court room.
 This witness was Lee Quinn, who testified that he had come to the bottling plant with AL bright, because the latter's fa- ther-in-law, Mir. Davis had re- quested him to get Albright and take him home.
 Witness heard Albright make threats against Carouthers, said he was going "to get even some way with Carouthers even if he had to take gum" Albright had also shown him the car tridges he had purchased, but witness did not see him buy them. They were 32's. None of these threats had been communi- cated to Carouthers said the witness, because he had not seen the officer until he passed the bottling plant.
 Witness said he went into the bottling plant as the two officers passed, but ran out when the shooting occurred.
 Sheriff McCuistion was recall ed at this point and testified that while he didn't find any shells upon Albright's person, he was looking for a pistol and did not particularly search for shells.
