w. H. Morris Died AT Searcy.

The news of the death of Mr..
William H. Morris, who died at
Searcy early Saturday morning,
reached this city by telephone
this morning and was the cause
of much sorrow among his
many friends here.
Mr.. Norris had been in de-
clining health for several
months and his advanced age,
70 years, was against his recov-
cry. The deceased was one of
the pioneer settlers of IMPORT,
where he was highly respected
and loved by all who knew him
Familiarity as uncle Billy Nor
ris." A better neighbor and
truer friend never lived and his
death has cast a gloom over his
friends.
The funeral will be held at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Brundidge, Sunday afternoon
and at his request, the burial
will be at Searcy.
Mr.. Morris is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. S. Brundidge of
Searcy and Mrs. Savannah Car
penter of Fort Smith, also one
sister, Mrs. Hattie Johnson of
Searcy, all of whom have the
sympathy of our people.

AS to Mosquitoes.

The house fly is here and the
mosquito is coming.
Here is a lesson on the mos
quito. Read it and profit by it.
The eggs of the mosquito are
always laid on the surface of the
water in one of two ways. Eth
er singly, each separate egg
placed sidewise upon the water,
or in groups, which may number
from two to four hundred eggs
in one group. Seen upon the
water such mass has much the
appearance of small particles of
SCOT.
The incubation period under
differing conditions occupies
from twelve hours to two days.
The larvae, more commonly
known as wigglers, when ready
to issue burst open the lower
end Of the egg and escape into
the water. Here it leads an ac-
tive life feeding upon minute
plant or animal forms which it
finds in the water. When
breathing it remains at the sur
face of the water.
With this fact borne in mind
we can see how a film of oil,
coating the water, will shut off
the wiggler's supply of air and
as a result soon suffocate it. A
little kerosene, just enough to
coat the the surface, sprayed
over pools, and puddles, ponds
rain barrels and other water
frequented by mosquitoes, is
thus an efficient remedy.
Not only is it destructive tC
the larvae, but the grown in
sect will not lay her eggs on oil
ed water.
The larvae, which mature un-
disturbed, transform in about q
week to pupae which have quite
the appearance of little tadpoles
They do not eat in this stage
but if undisturbed stay at the
waters surface for air.
At the expiration of two days
in warm weather a full f1edged
insect energies from the pupa
skin and flies away.-Little
Rock Democrat.

State Aid A Success.
to independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 24.-There
are 16O high schools of the
state that will get state aid this
year, as compared with 122 last
year.
"The Board has considered it
better to assist equitably all
schools that applied and are
qualified" said State Surerin-
tendent George B. Cook, than
to deny aid to many that might
be qualified in order to give lar
ger amounts to fewer number.
1t is a noticeable fact that many
schools have advanced to higher
grades under the state aid, which
is growing in popularity
throughout the state.
1t is the experience of the
"a states where state aid has
been adopted, that after the
first few years the amount is
invariably increased.
Arkansas distributes $40,-
900 to high schools and $4,000
to those that have normal train
ing courses. The normal schools
get $500 instead of $500, the
two year high schools 5000 in
stead of $500, the three year
schools $3.50 instead of $3.50,
and the four year schools $500
instead Of $40O each. The Nor
mails this year are located at
Eureka Springs, Paragould,
Hot Springs, Hope, Pine Bluff,
Texarkana, Blytheville, Cam
den, Mena, Little Rock, Fort
Smith and ElDorado.

Brundidge At Forrest City.

Brundidge At Forrest City.
Hon. Stephen Brundidge, of
Searcy, White county, candidate
for governor, visited Forrest
City on Tuesday evening, deliv-
ering at the court house at 8
o'clock, on behalf Of his candi-
dacy, what is said to be one of
the greatest vote-getting
speeches ever made in Forrest
City.
Brundidge received $4,000
votes in his race for the United
States Senate against Senator
Davis, and his friends claim that
he is the logical candidate for
governor, and is being given an
ovation by the voters of the
state wherever he goes. Here
the brass band turned out in
honor of his visit, and at the
court house that night, quite a
number of ladies of the city
graced the occasion by their
presence.
The speaker was introduced
by Hon. 0. B. Rollwage, who re-
viewed his long acquaintance
with Mr.. Brundidge, in which he
recited at length and emphasize
ed very strongly the candidates
fitness and qualifications for the
Office. 1t was a masterful trib-
ute, and review of Brundidge's
career, and an equivocal indorse-
ment of his candidacy.
The speech of Mr.. Brundidge
was clean-cut, and without frills
or flowers, and without the usu-
al disagreeable "mudslinging."
He said, if elected, he would
go into Office untrammelled; he
would not promise rewards for
support; he favored cutting
down expenses of the state, was
opposed to issuing bonds, and
raped Governor Robinson for
proposing the budget on the
stump, and the bonds after he
was elected; said if the inn
provement of the capitol |
grounds had to be paid for in in |
terest bearing bonds, he thought |
we could get along very nicely
for awhile without the roses and
flowers, though he liked them as
we'll as anybody.
He said that until he was 81
years of age he worked for his
father in a brickyard, and at
hat time told his father that he
vas through Singing mud"
md that he was. In speaking of
certain newspaper published
n White county, which is oppos-
ng him, he said its editor was
