Want Macadam Highway.

Conway, March 3.-Stating that good turnpike between Vilonia and Conway would be of more service to the people than a railroad or interurban trolley line, a delegation of citizens from Vilonia was here today seeking to interest the business men of Conway in a proposition of building a macadam road be- tween the two towns, a distance of about 13 miles. The Vilonia committee received much en- couragement. A local merchant assured them he would subscribe

PardOns Negro Woman.


 Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 3.-Gov- ernor Hays has granted a par don to Ada Moore, a negro womr an, who was convicted at the March term, 1913, of Pulaski circuit court on a charge of mur- der in the second degree for the killing of her husband, and sen- fenced to two years in the peni- tentiary. Her husband, Arthur Moore, was threatening her at the time, and self-defense was claimed. The pardon was re- commended by the trial judge, prosecuting attorney, all the members of the jury and about 400 citizens, most of them white, who stated that the woman was honest and upright and that this was the first time she had ever been in any trouble.
 The governor also restored to citizenship Jim Luker, of Yell county, who was fined $10 and costs in June, 1911, for petit larceny. The fine and costs have been paid.

Man Must Have Friends.

Young Man Must Have Friends.
 For boys and young men friendship Is a prime necessity of exist-snce. When a man has established himself in life and the interests of home and wife and family have absorbed him, he may, perhaps, dispense with friend ship. But as long as he is young, un. married and unsettled, he is as de- pendent on friendship as on air or food.

ssThat Million Dollar Look"

Go and see this wonderful Photo play-to appear at the op- era house Tuesday and Wednes- day nights.
 At my own private and per- sonal expense, I have brought to this town one of the greatest picture plays that has ever been produced.
 For years I have been waiting and hoping for some book, or play, or sermon that would make clear the powerful lesson that this picture shows. It is a les- son that means greater success -business success, social suc- cess, personal success to every man who will take it home to himelf-and apply it in his daily living.
 I brought this picture to the opera house because l believe that every red-corpuscled Amer ican man who sees it can reap a profit from it-and become a bigger man through it-and l want to do my share to get it before as many folks right here at home as I can. It's helped mel want you to enjoy it's help too.
 I am not going to spoil your enjoyment, your "thrill" and your excitement by telling you here what the story is. Wait and enjoy the surprise yourself.
 am simply going to go on re- cord with the statement that it will grip you from the first ex- posture to the last scene-and make you say a hundred times: 'Why wasn't this picture ever thought of before?"
 Men have lost untold oppor- tunities; have sacrificed dear est ambitions; have handicap ped the hopes of years, purely and solely through a lack of the knowledge that this picture viv- idly and dramatically imparts.
 Men have euchered themselves out of big business gains, have closed the doors to countless success chances, have defeated themselves, not only in business, but in politics, in society-YES, EVEN IN LOVE-because they never studied and mastered the lesson that this picture makes clear to them.
 If you want to play the game of success skillfully and victo- riously; if you want to be a dominating factor in life's power circles
 Then don't fail to see "That Million Dollar Look," at the Op- era House Tuesday night.

PEACE SUNDAY THOUGHTS.

The announcement of the project ia
observe February Il as peace Sunday in
connection with the celebration of one
hundred years of peace between the
United States and Great Britain stirs
conflicting thoughts at this particular
time We are still at peace with the
whole world, while Great Britain Is en-
gagged in one of the most terrible and
sanguinary conflicts in the history of IN
civilized warfare. If We had remained
part of the British domain as has
fighting side by side with Canadian forces
on the soil of France and Belgium against
the German forces.
on the other hand, contemplation OF
the heart-rending scenes and Of the ter
rible suffcrings attendant upon the strug-
gle in Belgium has helped us to appreci-
ate the manifold blessings of peace, We
shall consequently be in n position to
enter upon the centenary of peace with
Great britain III Il Iar more dppreC'd-
tive condition Of mind and heart than
would have been possible, If the present
war in Europe had not occurred and the
celebration should have great significance
for the entire American people.
Any observance of pace viii have little
real meaning for nc. however, If the
thoughts and considerations aroused In
that connection do not lead the Ameri-
can nation to resolve anew that the sword
shall never be lightly drawn by our gov
eminent, and that We shall exhaust the
resources Of arbitration before we ever
again permit ourselves to be drawn into
a conflict with any other power, whether
Asiatic power Some people might he
inclined to regard a conflict with Mexico
as a trivial affair but the developments
of the European struggle have taught
us that we mus. expect to encounter the
effects of a secret treaty, whenever wo
engage In war with any neighoor, no
matter On which side of the Atlantic it
may be-
We now know more than ever before
that civilized warfare" is a misnomer as
well as a delusipn and a snare. There
is no such thing as civilized warfare "

might go ahead and use up this perma-
ncnt school fund agreeing to pay itself
or the schools the interest thereon. and
spend the money in form that would
earn nothing; but how it could go to
work to secure this amount of income
except through direct or indirect taxation
to make even the interest good is a ques-
ton which financiers will find difficulty
in making plain to thrifty taxpayers.
In the meantime the income earned by
this permanent school fund amounting to
sl49, sos IS for the biennial period OF 1914
has been material addition to the
proceeds of the state school tax, which
compels the more prosperous towns to
help support schools in the smaller and
poorer communities, being based on the
grand list and distributed according to
the number of legal schools, and which
in 1912 aggregated $lG5.Go21G
The moro the people Of Vermont con-
template the benefits of this permanent
school fund the more jca,ously will they
Insist that it shall be treated ~ the state
and by the trustees as a sacred trust to
aid the state In helping our common
schools to be what they should be as
potent agency for the conservation and
development of our Vermont youth.

THE LEGISLATURE AND CAMPAIGN
PLEDGES.

We have an old-fashioned idea that
campaign pledges to the people should
be faithfully observed by a party put In
control Of n government, Certainly our
party was not proligate in its platform
pledges. and now that the republicans
have a solid Senate and an "overwhelm-
ing" majority in the House. it will bother
US as a party If we fail to redeem the
few actual promises we did make
We speak of this matter especially at
this time in view of the fact that some
of the issues confronting the Legisla-
ture and now being discussed by the
Vermont newspapers were taken into con-
sddera ton by the State Npublican plat
form.
One If the most essential Of these was

necessity of n short session Of the Legis-
sitY Of fulfilling another campaign pledge
that the per diem basis of compensation
of members of the Legislature be
abolished and a fiat salary for the SEES
sion he substituted therefor. and that
the LEGISLATURE promptly take steps at
the very outset to put the pay of clerks,
secretaries, reporters. pages, and all
other state House officials and employees
on business basis.
The republican platform pledged the
next administration to a policy OF econ
omy all along the line. and 1t is up to
the fiscal officers to afford the public
the information necessary to enable both
members of the Legislature and other
general to consider intclligcntly the whole
situation confronting both taxpayers and
lawmakers and fulfill that pledge When
our lawmakers have this budget and
other information, they will he in bet

HELPING TO DEVELOP VERMONT.

We are glad to note that Edwin w.
Lawrence, chief attorney and counsel for
the Rutland railroad, and loyal alum
nus of the State university, is one of the
moving spirits in the Vermont Mineral
Paint and Development company just or
ganzed for the purpose of developing
mineral deposits in Sandgate and Airing
ton, in Pennington county. We have
long contended that our Green mountain
region had great mineral riches in addi-
ton to the marble and granite and slate
that we have been turning into money
in way that has put our state at the
very forefront of these industries in the
United States, and the tale industry
promises another source Of large income
for our state, as will the exploitation of
asbestos and other mineral deposits in
the course of time.
The development of our mineral de-
posts, of our agricultural resources Of
our attractions for summer residents
who may become permanent residents and
in turn help promote the growth Of our
State, and the conservation of our water
power for home industries are the four
great sources of growth on which our
State must depend and every capitalist
and every railroad man and every en-
gineer and every farmer who help in
any one of these directions are public
benefactors deserving of general recognt-

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1914-04-03

The lost is found-and lost again.
More strange than some of the tales
from the Arabian Nights, more weird
than some of the feats of Aladdin
with his wonderful lamp is the story
that is told in the ten-page typewrit-
ten bill that was filed in the Office Of
Clerk and Master A. N. Akin Thurs
day afternoon. For the curtain that
has hidden the mystery Of the much
discussed and long talked about
Jones money was rent and its strange
story told in every detail. There was
$31,350 of it, yes, one hundred green
backs Of 500 each, and the rest in
gold of $50, $40 and IS denominations,
actual money. There is no doubt
about it, If the bill of Charles Gordon,
who is suing Jones for $3.50 Of it, is
to be believed. He is praying the
chancellor, w. s. Bearden, for writ
Of attachment upon the Phoenix Ma
tional Bank, the Phoenix Savings
Bank & Trust Co., and H. o. Fulton,
cashier, to restrain them from allow
ing Jones to withdraw it from deposit,
to require the latter defendant to an
swer to court what money has been
deposited by Jones since January I,
and to attach all money of his that is
on deposit there.
The complainant, Charles Gordon,
states in the bill that on or about the
first Monday in December, 1918, the
defendant, Will Jones, found on the
Dalton oliver farm on Duck river in
the fourth district glass jar, con-
tanning $31,350 of United States gold
coin and currency. This money, so it
is stated, was supposed to have been
lost or abandoned during the civil
war. Jones, upon finding the money,
brought it to the house Of Gordon,
and told him that If he would take
care of it and help him until he could
get it changed into new money, he
would give him $4,000 of it. This Cor
don agreed to do. Fearing that some
one might claim It who was not Justly
entitled to it, they took two fruit jars,
placing in one of them currency
amounting to $16,350, and in the other
$4,000 in gold coin. They buried the
latter jar Of gold under Gordon's
kitchen, while they hid the other in
the stable near the house. In the lat
ter part Of eDcember. 1913, Gordon
states that he bought and moved to
the Felix Sowell farm, which was
about three miles from the Oliver
