Free Scholarships

Notice is hereby given that Monroe County is entitled to 30 free scholarships for her young men and women at the State Agricultural School, at Monticel- 10, Ark, during the session which opens September, 17th., 1913. The magnificent patron age accorded this institution in the past, coupled with it's splen- did faculty and its greatly en- larged accommodations is well worth careful considerations on the part of the young people who desire first class service at minimum cost.
 It will afford me pleasure to present worthy applicants these scholarships until the above limited supply shall be exhausted.
 Respectfully,
 T. G. TRICE,
 COUNTY JUDGE. MONROE COUNTY.

BIG COLORED RALLY
Annual Sunday School Association of Color ed Baptists Raise
 Over $1,OOO.

At the Annual Sunday School Convention of the Colored Bap- tist of the Consolidated White River District held last week at New Home church, in Dark Cor ner, $1, 064. % was raised for edu- cational purposes.
 Rev. s. s. Odom, of this city, and one of the leading colored preachers in Eastern Arkansas, is president of the Sunday School Association. and this being the greatest record ever made by a Sunday School Convention, is to be congratulated for the big work done.
 The Annual Association of the Colored White River District Baptist will be held at Jonesboro in October, and at this Associa- tion it is planned to raise $2, 900.
 The Major part of these funds go to liquidating the building funds of the Brinkley Academy.
 In this connection, it is not out of place to say that the Baptist colored people who have been responsible for the building of the Brinkley Academy, have dis played a zeal and business sagac- ity which is seldom seen any where. They built a fine $8, 900. frame structure which was de- stroyed by the storm of 1909 and then they met this great loss by erecting a fine SIP. GOO. GO brick structure, which. soon after it was finished, caught fire and was totally consumed. They were not disheartened by this, their second great misfortune, but at once set about erecting another fine brick building at a cost of about $15. O00.. thus mak- ing the third college they have built in Brinkley. Their energy and determination is most admir- able, and they have the good wishes and encouragement of nearly all of the white people of Brinkley in their great work.

 ,se petition is as follows:
 tIn behalf of the people ot

 4;eularlv those of the First
 ,sressional District, who by
 necessities of travel are ire
 rtlv compelled to cross the

 n.. over a bridge controlled ahe Kansas City & Memphis

 respectfully petition you to
 rise that authority granted
 in a bill authorizing the con- rtion of the bridge, and epdment thereto approved dl28, 1904, by denying to the age company the right to col tabridge toll from passengers Gngon railway trains across
 bridge.
 Ham moved more particularly kthis time to apply to you in $ matter for the reason that Sder the amendment above re- ed to and bill authorizing the struction of said bridge the retary of war is empowered Improve a charge, not exceed kS cents, for every passenge using said bridge in a railway hin.
 |hdehance of the order made your predecessor in office Iiing the charge to p cents, said bridge company has re- htly commenced to charge a idge fare or toll of 35 cents for Ich passenger crossing tn e Gdge. In addition to this, 1 am formed the railway companies e charging passengers full ral rate, including the mileage, Fcrossing the bridge. An additional reason that some Fion should be taken by you in s matter is: The bill and |endment thereto under which g bridge company operates pvides no penalty for a viola n af the law under which it E constructed and is operated, Idfor that reason 1 am informed the attorney-general that he sno power to enforce the Ob- vance by the company of the Y.
 sln view of these facts, l most mostly request that you issue order denying the bridge upany the right to make any arge whatever for passengers lng in a passenger train cross kthe bridge. If such an order issued the travelling public ' be in a position to protect elf against the illegal exaction the bridge company.
 Nfcials of both the bridge npany and the four railroads alen use 1t stated when the luonal ten cent fare was add '!nat the railroads got all of the uton and that the bridge

day to testify against the A. T. & T.
and was cross-examined by Piilsbury.
Vivian admitted that the independ-
ents had adopted a uniform standard
of telephone construction and bought
most of their supplies from few
manufacturers. He said that con-
certed action in buying was neces-
sary for the Independents to combat
the alleged trust"
Have you ever sought legal adj
vice to learn whether your organiza-
ton was not violating the Sherman
act?" asked Pillsbury.
Vivian shook his head.
Better try it, advised Pillsbury.
C. ]. Smythe of Omaha, special at
torney for the government, drew
from Vivian the statement that one
of the purposes of the organization of
independents was to ferret out secret
purchases of independent companies
by the Bell interests, which, Vivian
asserted, were then rented to elimin-
ate suspicion that they had fallen in
to the hands of the trust" The
Bell people, he said, used this method
to isolate small companies by shut
ting them off from outside connec-
tons. Kansas City, Vivian said, was
one of the cities where the alleged
trust" secretly bought out the indie
pendent company. The deal was made
in 1912, he said, and is not now adj
mitted by the Bell interests.
Other witnesses to be called today
include B. ]. Hubbel of Buffalo, N.
Y, president of the Federal Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, and
Richard Valentine of GAINESVILLE, Wis,
president of the. Rock County, Wis,
Independent Telephone Company.

Everyone may now be prepared to
take of their hats to Maurice e. Nc
Loughlin, the American tennis champ
ion. as the most wonderful player
that has ever been developed in this
or any other country The California
boy is in a class by himself. No one
has ever approached his wonderful
service, and his terrific smashes,
which are true and deadly In their eff.
feet, are distinctly a Mclaughlin pro-
duct. Only twenty-three years old,
Mclaughlin outgeneraled and out
played English veterans In the
matches for the Davis cup. who were
experts at the game when McLough.
lin was schoolboy. He is far above
ANY other player in America.
But for Mclaughlin, the American
team might have had narrow squeak

| lishnen. Harold IT. Hackea. his
team-mate in the doubles, was hope

Loughlin's wonderful work that turn
ed the tide. Mclaughlin was defeated
for the all-Eng,and title by A. r.

red-haired boy had been through q
grueilfng series of preliminary
matches and was beginning to go

was far of form that day. He APP

telling a different story had he met
Mclaughlin after the latter has re-
