PROTESTS ENTERED
ON STREET PAVING
Council Has Called Meeting to Con-
slider the Matter.

At called meeting of the city
ciuncil held Friday morning, com
mittee from the Rogers street citi-
zens and the West Main street citi-
zens, entered protest against the
paving of Rogers street and West
Main street. No definite action was
taken at the morning meeting, the
council adjourning and called anoth-
er meeting to hear the protests at
8 o'clock this afternoon
II is understood the protests that
will be made tend to show that by
paving the streets the citizens will
be put to a larger expense than the
benefits OF the paving justify.

Important To You.

The talks of the government health office experts tonight at the court house upon the "Pre- vention of Malaria" should inter- est every man and woman in Newport. We pay no greater tax in our lowlands than does the little but dangerous mosqui- to exact of our people.
 Rid the South of malaria and you will build up a new South. Free our people of the influences of malaria and we will work wonders in development along every line.
 Come out tonight and hear these men. Let's make their mission here profitable to our city and section by gaining the information we need to combat malaria and reduce it's tax upon our growth and the health of our people.

Four Pink Checks For State.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, September 1. = Four pink checks, each calling for $25,O00, were Monday turn ed over to the Arkansas Rail- road Commission by T. s. Buz- bee, general counsel for the G., R. I. & P. railroad in Arkansas. This represents the Rock Is- lands settlement in full with the shippers of Arkansas for the overcharges made while the rate litigation was pending It is the difference between the rate established by the Arkan- sas Railroad Commission, to which exceptions were taken by the railroads, and the rate tenn porarily established by the court.
 The work of passing upon the claims from shippers for par ticipation in the division of this amount, has been completed by R. P. Allen, acting as special master and there is no reason why these shippers should not immediately get their money. It does not represent the full a. mount of overcharges claimed, but it is the amount agreed upon in a compromise, the shippers being willing to accept less and get it now, than to wait several years more and have the case rock along in the courts, with a chance that they would lose out entirely.
 The Rock Island also pays mileage to the extent of $25, ,000 to those who hold receipts for passenger fares paid, but this mileage has not been called for, as yet.
