Ballots Ordered Burned.

Helena, June 25.-The Phil.
lips County Democratic Central
Committee met at noon today
and canvassed the returns of
this county. The official count
was as follows:
Brundidge, 1851; Hays,
1,O43.
The result gave Brundidge a
lead of 308 votes in this county.
The vote for circuit judge show
ed Jackson of Helena to have
2,347 and Cypert of Searcy, AZ.
By resolution the ballot boxes
were ordered turned over to the
sheriff and the ballots destroyed.
The vote in the gubernatorial
race was a surprise to many, as
it openly was predicted that
Brundidge would lead Hays by
more than 1000 votes. There
was little prediction sentiment
for Hays and the vote was more
surprising on that account. 1t
is said, however, that the race
for circuit judge affected the
vote in this county for governor.
Brundidge probably would have
received a larger majority, it is
said, if Cypert of Searcy, Brun-
didge's home town, had not been
opposing J. M. Jackson of Hele-
ma for circuit judge.

Two Fires In a Day.

Newport had two fires in one
day upon Thursday, but in nei-
ther was the loss heavy. The
first about 1880 a. m. was caused
by the burning of paper in the
small rear yard back of the indie
pendent office. From a box OF
tar, the flames spread to the sta
BILE and storage room of w. M.
Price, where a lot of bedding
and some harness was ruined.
Prompt arrival of the fire de-
partment prevented the spread
of the flames.
The second fire occurred about
noon at the railroad pump house
on the river front. The fire de-
partment was cut off by No. 4
and the pump house hose was
used to put out the flames.

TAKES ISSUE
WITH MURPHY
Futrell Says Governor Should
Consult Judge and Prosecut-

PardonS.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 26.-Col.
George W, Murphy, Progressive
Party nominee for governor, in
his speech Of acceptance attacks
the practice of requiring appli-
cants fer pardon to secure state
ments from the circuit Judge and
prosecuting attorney. Govern
or Futrell today issued state
ment in which he takes issue
with Col. Murphy. He says:
1T is the duty of the governor
to investigate every case fully
and as thoroughly as his time
and opportunities will permit. In
the majority of cases of pardon
applications, no transcript of ev-
idence can be had, and the gov
ernor should seek information
where he is most likely to OBJ
tain it and where the sources
would be most. reliable, and for
that reason it is proper to con-
suit the judges of our courts,
though his Investigations are
mot necessarily limited to these
officers. The circuit judges and
prosecuting attorneys become
intimately acquainted with all
the facts developed in trials be-
fore their courts, and my expert
ence with our courts convinces
me of their general imparti0
and earnest desire that .iustio@
be done. They generally possess
a spirit of leniency which is e.
WINGED by the fact that upon
pleas of guilty the minimum SEN
tence is usually assessed"

WILL CONTEST
RECENT PRIMARY
Though Judge Hays Has A Ma
jOrity Upon The Face of
Returns.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June o. The
contest for governor is not over
yet, although upon the face of
the returns, Judge George w.
Hays has won by a majority
anywhere from ITO to $500.
The official returns from Phil
lips county, with only 308 ma
jority for Brundidge, where as
much as 1,5OO had been expect
ed, did not serve to clarity the
situation.
The Hays following jubilantly
announced that the election was
won, and, that their majority
could not fall under $500.
On the other hand, Col. Brun-
didge issued a statement in
which he declared that he had
won the election ''on an honest
count"
That it will require the official
canvass by the state central COM
mittee next Monday to determine
the result is now almost certain,
for neither candidate will be
content to accept defeat upon the
face of unofficial returns COM
piled as they have been from
meager returns.
That a contest will be institut-
ed is almost certain and it is not
improbable that an effort may
be made to enjoin the state COM
mittee from certifying the NOM
inee until the contest can be set
tied.

Al Hayman First to Recognize Sing
 er's Great Powers, and Henry E. Abbey Did the Rest.

Several years ago Al Hayman, who was in London, met the lase Henry E. Abbey, who was then our greatest impressairo. MT. Abbey was present ing opera at the Metropolitan and was searching Europe for new singers. As they sat over their coffee after com fortable dinner in their club MT. Hay man described the trip he had just taken through provincial France. And, by the way" said he, T heard a most remarkable young woman sing Carmen at some little out-of-the-way place."
 Searching through his pockets he finally came upon her name in his note book and gave it to Abbey, who seized his hat and called cab. Where are you going?" said Hayman. I'm going to Paris immediately and find where she is and go to hear her, replied the impulsive Abbey. He found her in dingy little opera house ill a small provincial town and heard her sing Carmen. That night he had her signature to contract, and that is how New York came to hear and acclaim the great Calve before ever Paris had heard of her.

My hair was dry and lifeless.
 T saw the advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent to my druggist for three cakes of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. l washed my scalp with warm water strong with the Cuticura Soap and dried, afterwards applying the Cuti- cura Ointment, working it in the scalp slowly with my fingers.

The Clocks Me Wear.

The three marks on the back of a glove and the clocks on the stocking are due practically to the same cir cumstance. The glove marks core spond to the fourchette pieces be- tween the fingers, and in other days these pieces were, continued along the back of the hand, braid being used to conceal the seams. A somewhat sim liar origin is assigned to the orna- mental clock on the stockings. In the days when stockings were made of cloth. the seams occurred where the clocks do now, the ornamentation then being used to conceal the seams. The useless little bow in the leather band lining a mans hat is the survival of the time when hat was made by talk ing a piece of leather, boring two holes through it and drawing it up with a piece of string.-Harper' S Weekly.
