STOMACH TROUBLES
M. Ragland Writes Interesting
 Letter on This Subject.

Madison Heights, Va.-Mr. Chas. A. Ragland, of this place, writes: "I have been taking Thedford's Black-Draught for indigestion, and other stomach troub- les, also colds, and find it to be the very best medicine l have ever used.
 After taking Black Draught for a few days, always feel like a new man."
 Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain in pit of stomach, and feeling of full- ness after eating, are sure symptoms oi stomach trouble, and should be given the proper treatment, as your strength and health depend very largely upon your food and its digestion.
 To get quick and permanent relief from these ailments, you should take a medicine of known curative merit.
 Its 75 years of splendid success, in the treatment of just such troubles, proves the real merit of Thedford's Black Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action, and without bad after-effects, it is sure to benefit both young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25c. Nci1.

Court Appeals Increase.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 29.-There is a notable increase in the a. mount of business being hand led by the supreme court, the record of appeals filed for the three years being as follows:
 1911-Criminal, 39; civil, 92; total, 131.
 1912-Criminal, 2S; civil, 174; total, POP.
 1913-Criminal, 50; civil, 192 :; total, 242.
 In consequence of the increase in business, the docket is not be- ing disposed of as rapidly as heretofore. The number of criminal cases appealed since July 1 is unprecedented, and there is very material increase in the number of civil cases.
 The court always starts i'll be- hind with the docket in the fall, account of the accumulation dur ing the summer recess, but this accumulation has in recent years always been disposed of by early spring. This year, however, the court will be longer in disposing of the ac- emulation, and litigants will have to wait longer for their cases to be disposed of.
 There has been much specu- lation as to the cause for the increase but no solution has been found unless it be the in- crease in litigation resulting from the natural growth of the population of the state, and it's material interests.

 Mrs. Garrison says: "There IS no other organization in the state which devotes it's efforts to child welfare and the field is rich with possibilities. Our pres ent activities will be directed mainly to a campaign of publici- ty. This will be carried on large ly through committees. So far we have committees on infant mortality, etc."

Fort Smith Probably Winner.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 29.-There will be a meeting of the execu- tive committee of the Arkansas
 Athletic Association, which gov
 ernS amateur events in Arkan- sas, in Little Rock on Saturday night, at which time the second-
 ary football championship will be settled. Indications point to
 Fort Smith being declared the winner of the championship cup, though the cup offered by a local jeWeler to the winner of the Thanksgiving game must revert to the donor, neither side having scored a victory. A member of the committee has stated that there appears to be little to the protest filed agalnSt the victory won by Fort Smith over Texar- kama, and that Fort Smith hav- ing defeated TeXarkana, and Texarkana defeating Little Rock, there is noting left but to award the cup to Fort Smith.
 The Fort Smith team return ed home Friday afternoon, none too joyful over their failure to roll up the score on Little Rock, but they had the consolation of knowing that had the ground permitted any sort of playing, they would have turned the trick. Little Rock players are fully as confident they would have defeated Fort Smith had the mud permitted the players getting into action.

No Evidence of Campaign.

NO EVluence OI SdHtpdiSH. Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. 1.-So far as Little Rock is concerned, the only evidence there is that Senatorial campaign is on, is the absence from the city of Senator James P. Clarke, and Associate Justice w. F. Kirby. Senator Clarke has returned to Washington to devote his time to the currency bill, which is is now in shape for final action. Associate Justice Kirby is today speaking in Benton county, and will spend the week in that, and Washington county. Lowell and Garfield are to be visited today, and Pea Ridge and Rogers to- morrow.
 When Senator Clarke returns to Little Rock, probably, during the holidays, he will request meeting with Justice Kirby, to arrange 9 joint canvass and enough fur is expected from then on, to fly so fast the air will be filled with it.

Paroles Post.

The parcels post is about to take another upward bound with respect to a wider application Of it's usefulness to the public and the cultivation of a field of cOm- munal service which for too long was left to the eXtortiOn- Iate exploitation of privileged monopolies protected in their robbery by persons in high gov ernment place.
 Postmaster General BurlesOn has asked the interstate con- merce commission to authorize an extension of the service so that the maximum limit of weight for parcels may be in- creased from twenty to fifty pounds. In this it is plain to be 
 seen that the postoffice depart ment is feeling it's way along and that the estimated one hun dred pound maximum is not by any means an irridescent dream nor one long in materialiZing. The beginning, after dire and
 woful predictions and the
 strongest and long-contiued op-
 position of those enjoying the
 express monopoly, was made with a maximum limit of eleven
 pounds.
 This did not break the govern
 ment nor swamp the mails nor
 ruin and disorganize trade as
 the special pleaders for monop,
 oly predicted. Then the pound
 age was raised to twenty pounds !
 and again the calamity howlers
 shrieked to heaven and deplored 1 Con the surface) the fate of the
 small town and country mer-
 chant who was going straight to
 ruin, while all the time their on lly concern was for the water-log- ged express monopoly.
 The government hardly can go
 too far-though it may be ob-
 liged to go slowly pending the
 accumulation of equipment and
 the training of officials, in the service of the public in the
 transportation of parcels. This
 is an extension of the commun- istic or socialistic ideal that
 frightens nobody but those whose express dividends are threatened with extinction. A profit estimated at thirty mll-
 lions in the operation of the par cels post to date is good argu- ment for increasing the service. Fort Smith Times-Record.
