Well Settled Rules

I'm deciding the question whether or

binding on them because announced by
the supreme court. One of those rules Is
that the rate fixed by legislative au-
thority is prima facie fair and just. The
rate having been fixed by a commission
vested with legal authority, the pre-
sumption must be indulged at the out
set that it Isl reasonable and not viola
tive of constitutional rights The bur-
den of proof is placed on the plaintiff
to show that the case is one calling
for judicial interference with the au-
thorized action of the local authorities.
Another rule for our guidance is
that the burden of proof is not only
placed on the plaintiff, but that the
plaintiff is required to do more than Of
fer mere preponderance of evidence.
The judiciary is not permitted TO inter-
fere with the rates Established by Leg
islative authority unless it is made to
appear clearly and beyond reasonable
doubt that they are unreasonable and
that their enforcement would be equiv
alent to the taking of property for pub
lie use without just compensation. II

Ticks Almost Eradicated.

Norfork, June 8.-OScar Leon- ard, a government tick inspector, employed in the tick eradica- ton work in this section of the state, was here yesterday spray ''ng cattle at this station. He says that the county will likely be released this fall, and that no ticks have been found in the county between the forks of the White river and the North Fork. Just a few isolated cas- eg like this one, and then we are done," he stated.
 The tick fight was started in Baxter county four years ago, when cattle were dying in large numbers. Since the work start ed no cattle have died in this county: there have been no more epidemics. The farmers over the county feel much elat- ed over the success of the work, as it brings them a much high CT price for their stock. This was proven last year, when cat tie from localities free from ticks brought several dollars a head over the same kind of cat tie coming from unclean areas.

SUPREME COURT MODIFIES DAMAGES
In Appeal of Iron Mountain Yer sus l.. L. Campbell-David-
 son Case Affirmed.
Special to Independent.


 Little Rock, June 9.-The su- nreme court today modified the judgment of the Jackson circuit court in the appeal of the Iron Mountain versus L. L. Campbell. 'lhe appellee in the lower court had secured judgment for dam ages in the sum of S213 because cf the railway company's fail ure to deliver appellants trunk, containing wearing apparel in time for appellee to wear same at prenuptial functions.
 The supreme court allowed damages for actual expenses in +-elegrams locating the trunk, al- so for the state penalty, but cut out the money spent for clothing and damages for the inconveni- ence through the loss of trunk The judgment was thus modi- fled to about one half the dam cges given by the jury.
 Davidson to Hang.
 In the appeal of Odus David son, the young man of Boone county who was convicted of murder in the first degree for the atrocious killing of Miss Ella Barham, the finding of the low CT court was confirmed.
 The attorneys for Davidson had contended that the failure of the Harrison court to have Davidson in the room when the jurv returned a verdict of mur- der in the first degree against him, set aside the verdict ano Davidson could not be twice placed in jeopardy for his life.
 The judgment of the higher court probably removed from this young man and his family any real hope of preventing his execution upon the gallows.

Pearl Fishers Busy.

Norfork, June 7.-Pearl fish CTS are beginning to work now in this section, and many are going into the river hunting for ,he jewels. The White river is getting low and in a few days will be in fine shape for this work. Markets have been open ed for shells and the pearl fisher TOW gets the full benefit of his labor. It has been only lately that he could sell the shells in this part of the country. The shells, as a usual thing, pay him well for his labor, and what pearls he finds are velvet. The first pearl to be found this seas or was found here yesterday by George Smothers, and was val ued at $25.

RAIDERS SECURE
 BARREL BOOZE
At Home of Henry Collins At Tupelo = Wagon Traced
 From Newport.

There has been compaint of H. licit whiskey selling at Tupelo for some time and Sheriff Me- Cuistion upon a recent visit to Little Rock found that two par ties in that town held govern ment license to sell liquor. Last Friday, he was given a tip that Tupelo parties were here in a wagon supposedly to buy booze.
 Deputy Sheriff J. I. Tasting was detailed to shadow the par ties and late that afternoon, the wagon was discovered at the rear door of a saloon loading a barrel.
 That night Sheriff McCuistion ard Deputy Tasting, armed with search warrants already se- cured, left for Tupelo. They passed the wagon near Au- vergne, but in the darkness, the occupants knew naught of the .ficers being upon their trail.
 No action was taken that night, but next morning assisted by Constable Harris, the officers raided two stores and two resi- dences, as follows;
 Henry Collins grocery store, seven quarts and a pint of whis- key found here, also a barrel of malt ale, which is to be tested.
 w. w. Robinett, general store, six or eight barrels of malt ale found.
 Elijah Slack, a negro's house, nothing found.
 Henry Collins house, 1 barrel of whiskey containing 17 quarts and the remainder in pints.
 When Collins found that the officers intended to search his house, he admitted the location of the liquors.
 The trial of these cases was set for Wednesday, June II be- fore Esquire A. B. Collier,

COTTON REPORTS
 ALL FAVORABLE
Much Progress Made In Growth and Cultivation of Crop
 Over South.

Without exception great pro- gress was made in the growth and cultivation of cotton in ev- cry state of the South during the week. It is seldom that such universally favorable con- ditiOns obtain over so large an area. Where needed rains fell. Where dry hot weather was de- sirable-as in TeXas-that con dltion obtained. So that on the whole the period passes without complaint.
 A marked gain in percentage condition is indicated for the three Atlantic states and Alaba- ma while the Mississippi Valley and the western belt have main tained the high figures previous ly reported. Soil conditions with unimportant local exceptions are excellent from North Carolina to Texas and some of the east ern correspondents note that the weather has promoted the utili- zation of fertilizers applied in those districts since their sub- stance has not been leached out by excessive rainfall.
 Such drawbacks as are men, toned arise from conditions pre- ccding the past two weeks. Boil weevils are numerous in south ern Mississippi and Louisiana mere so than is usual for the season, correspondents say.

HARROD KNOWS
 HE HAS RACE
Before Him tOBe District AttOr- ney For Campbell Is Forg-
 ing to the Front.
Special to Independent.

Little Rock, June 9.-The con-
 tests for Federal plums in Lit
 tie Rock is now getting keen, and opposition is cropping up to
 persons who were supposed to
 have a clear field.
 Prbably the first appointment to be announced will be in the Register of Lands. Guy Caron, who has held this position since the resignation of Harry Myers several years ago, has forward ed his resignation to Washing ton, and will step out as soon as his successor is appointed and q:lalifies. The resignation of Register Caron was demanded several weeks ago, the resigna- tion of John E. Bush, Receiver
 of Lands, being asked for at the same time. The term of Regis terCaron expires June 13, and he had no objection to complying with the request, but Bush has
 over year to serve, and declin- cS to tender his restoration,
 Bush is a negro and has served iI this capacity for 15 years. Captain Berry, who has been a
 deputy in this department for
 ~ears is candidate to succeed Caron.
 The race for Internal Revenue Collector seems to have narrow cd to James s. Barkman and M.
 P. Hutton of Little Rock, Bark
 man has been deputy in this of-
 flee for many years, and has just returned from Washington, where he presented several large
 volumes of recommendations from leading business men of the state. Hutton is a brother of Sheriff Will Hutton, and is a deputy in his office.
 Though it had been supposed all along that James H. Harrod, l the acqnowledged original Will son man in Arkansas, would
 have no opposition for United States District Attorney for the
 Eastern District, it now appears
 as though this race is to be a spirited one. s. D. Campbell of
 Newport; Nick Can't of Pine
 Bluff and L. E. Sawyer of Hot Springs, all prominent lawyers, are the other applicants for the place.
 w. E. Floyd, secretary of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, and Judge Walls of Jeb, appar-
 ently have no opposition for the positions of postmaster of Lit lie Rock, and United States Mar shal for the Eastern District.
