seven per cent on all unpaid taxes
on March the first. Heretofore the
Auditor of Edge6eld County has
not added this penalty. However, l
have been notified by the Comp.
troller. General of our State that
upon my failure to carry out the
law in regard to adding the penalty
this year that the penalties that
should have been collected from de-
llnquent taxpers after January the
first will be collected from me or
my bondsmen, as penalty for my
failure TO carry out the law.
Therefore, I desire to give the
public notice that | am on this ac-
count forced this year to comply
with the law, and that penalties will
lie added according to law on all
taxes unpaid on December the 3lst.
Respectfully,

VALUABLE ADVICE.
Edgefield Citizens Should Profit
by the Following State
ment.

Doan's kidney pills were used by
this Edgefeld resident.
Their merit was shown-the
story told.
Now comes further evidence.
The testimony is confirmed.
The remedy was tested-the re-
suits lasted.
Could Edgefeld residents de-
mand stronger proof?
It's Edgetield testimony. 1t can
be investigated.
w. D. Dorm, Edgtfeld, says:
"You may continue to use my state
ment, recommending Duan's kidney
pills. The cure they made for me
has been ia permanent one and l
have had no signs of kidney troub-
le for the past few years. | always
recommend Doan's kidney pills to
anyone suffering from weak kid
neys."
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's kidney piIls-the same

Thinking and Unthinking.

People who do not think are uncon-
genial to people who do think largely
because they do not think, and people
who do think are uncongenial to people
who do not think because they do think.
If people who do not think would learn
to think then they would become more
tolerable to thinkers as we'll as to
themselves; but ii thinkers should
cease thinking, and put themselves on
a party with those who do not think,

To the Independent and Readers
1t has been an extraordinary
pleasure, I might say privilege,
for me to have spent the past
two months in the Yellowstone
National Park. While | have
been enjoying the cool breezes
of this great Rocky Mountain
region, however, | have been
very sorry to read of the
drought and heat of Jackson
county in particular and the
middle west in general. Our
highest temperature has been
80 degrees and that for only one
day. At night and morning we
must have fires in our tent, and
sleep very comfortably under
blankets all through the sum-
mer
Among many pleasures of the
Park, one of the best is trout
fishing. Sportsmen find here
the gamest fish in the world and
season is always open. And, it
! is no small part of the fun to en-

Concerning the natural beau

duce me to risk sample of En-

flee it to say that all that has

System of Clocks for Capitol.

Little Rock, July 28.-The
E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston

system of eighty-two clocks in
the state capitol. There will be
a handsome clock in each office
in the building, and over the en-
frances to the House and the
Senate, outside and inside, there
will be a large clock. The en-
tire system will be operated by a
clock on the ground floor,
in a room where the telephone
exchange is to be located. An
electrical device eliminates the
pendulum and the ordinary
clock mechanism from all the
timepieces, making them de-
pendent upon the master-clock.

There is not a provision IN ACT
No. 3, which, if omitted, would
not weaken the act and make 1t
of less service to the people, and
less of the power for the public
good. In fact, some public men
of Arkansas have criticised Act
No. 3 because they say it does
not 90 far enough, but should
include publicity of affairs OF
school boards and other public
bodies. Be this as it may, thou
sands of thinking people in Ar
kansas are agreed on this propo-
sition that Act No. 3 will be the
greatest tax equalizer which has
ever made itself felt in this
State. That through the eff
cheney, honesty and economy in
public affairs its passage will
cause to be saved to the public,
several times enough money to
pay the entire publication ex-
pense, and in addition to that,
will confer upon the. public, all
the benefits that arise from an
economical, honest and efficient
administration of the public's

Cashier Named Receiver.
Gardiner, Mont.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28.-J S.
Carpenter, who was cashier of
the Bank Of Wynne, which clos
ed last Saturday, has been ap-
pointed by State Bank Commits
.sioner Davis as special deputy
commissioner to Iiquidate the
affairs of the bank. This is the
first time the cashier of a bank
has been appointed to such a po-
sition, but it was found that the
people of Wynne have confidence
in the officials of the bank, and
the appointment gives general
satisfaction. It is probable that
arrangements will be made for
a reorganization.
The assets are about $114,00O,
the deposits $4,000, and the
capital stock $4,000. The
banks inability to continue was
caused, according to Mr.. Davis,
by its connection with the Bank
ers' Trust Company of St. Louis,
with which a number of Arkan-
sas banks have financial rela-
tons. Through the efforts of
the Bank Department the Bank
of Wynne was recently able to
realize on over $4,000 of its
Bankers Trust Co. assets. 1t is
generally believed that with jul
dicious handling of the assets,
the depositors will be paid in
full.
