PENSION FUND Is
SSOOO,OOO THIS YEAR
Increase in Levy Will Give
Confederate Pensioners 80
Cents on Dollar This Year.

Arkansas Confederate pen
sioners will fare better this
year than any year in the past
decade. if not better than any
year since the first pension tax
was levied according to a state
ment given out by the State
Pension Board at Little Rock.
1t is believed that the pro
ratio of the pension money will
give the pensioners 80 cents on
the dollar. Last year they
received 62 cents on the dollar
and in 1914 70 cents.
The State Pension Board,
comprised Of Earle W. Hold
ges, secretary of state; NJ. F..
Dickinson, state auditor; and
Gen. Jonathan kellogg, began
work on the pension rolls Mon
day morning. 1t will be sew
eral days before the board can
conclude its work and before
it can determine what amount
OF money would be paid on
warrants.
Revenue from the bill pas
sed by the 1915 legislature in
creasing the Confederate pen
sion tax from one and one
half mills to two mills, now is
being collected for the first
time. The increase was in
eluded in taxes collected dur
ing the last few months. The
increase i'll taxation, it is es-
tlmated, increased the total
pension tax money from ap-
proximateIv 5000, 600 to more
than 100000.
The first pension tax bill
was enacted in 1891, when the
legislature levied a one-quarter
OF a mill and in 1905 it was
increased to one mill. Two
years later, it was again in
creased, going t. one and one
half mills, and last year the
legislature increased it to two
mills.
Applications from 9,444 old
pensioners and 1,165 new APP
plicants were certified to the
state board by the county
boards. All the applications
must be passed upon by the
state board.

SAFETY FIRST FOR
The COTTON CROP
Arkansas Spending Quarter
Million Dollars on Fire-Re-
sistive Modern Congresses

This years cotton crop in
Arkansas will receive better
protection as to fire hazard
than any preceding crop. Quite
a remarkable record is being
made by this state in the build
ing of modern; fire-resistive
improvements in cotton COM
presses and warehouses. near
ly a quarter million dollars is
now being invested, or has
been contracted for, duHng the
past three months for such inn
provementS says the Southern
Construction News of Little
Rock.
These figures are from the
records of the. Arkansas Ac-
tuarial Burau, which is pass
ing on the plans and sReeifica-
tons for the improvements
without cost to the owners of
the Improvements.
That this character of i'm
provements has a far-reaching
effect is evidenced by the fact
that it results in a great saw
ing to al who are interested in
the cotton business, extending
back even to the growers, who
may desire to store their cot
ton for higher prices. This say
ing is effected by virtue Of the
fact that the oreateNprotection
afforded by the Improvements
will reduce the fire insurance
rate very materially and en-
able the small farmer to hold
his cotton at considerably less
expense. It may not be gener-
ally known but the Arkansas
Actuarial Bureau, which is an
institution authorized by the
Arkansas Legislature, does all
that it can to cut down the fire
hazard and while its principal
activities are ineonnection with
the measurement of fire haz-
ards, as affecting insurance
rates, it constantly spreads the
gospel Of fFe-prevention and
maintains a staff of engineers
and experts, whose experience,
advice and services are at the
disposal OF the general public
without any cost whatever.

WILL EDWARDS
BROWNS In RIVER
Disappeared Friday at New
port and Body Found Mon
day near Railroad Bridge.

VIII Edwards, a we'll known
citizen Of Newark, was drown
ed in White river at Newport
last Friday.
Whether he met foul play or
accidentally fell into the river
and was unable to save him
self will probably never be
known. 1t is thought, however,
that the drowning was acct
dental.
He was last seen about 6
O'Clock Friday evening when
he left Newport accompanied
by a negro who has worked for
him at various times. 1t is said
that he and the negro got into
his gasoline launch and started
up the river to his camp near
Walls Lake. 1t is said that he
had trouble with the engine on
his boat and tied up near old
Elizabeth, where the boat was
found later.
Monday morning a pearler
found the body in White river
some distance below the rail
road bridge. Sheriff McCuis-
ton was notified and he secur-
ed George Holderby's boat and
went down after the body. The
body was badly decomposed
from being in the water so
long, and no one suspected that
it was the body of Will Ed
wards until after close exam
nation which revealed some
old marks and scars on the
body. These, together with a
bank deposit slip made out to
Edwards. which was found in
his clothing, led to a complete
Identification of the body.
1t was at first reported that
foul play was suspected but a
close examination of the body
by DR.. Willis revealed no
bruises or wounds to Indicate
foul play.
Coroner w. H. Nolen held
an inquest but nothing was
brought out at the inquest to
throw any additional light up
on the matter, and it is gener-
ally believed that Edwards ac-
cidentally fell into the river
and was unable tosave himself.
Deceased was AZ years old
and is survived by one son,
Jack Edwards of this place,
and one daughter, Mrs. Ruth
Hughes of Wan, Okla. He is
also survived by three broth
ers, C. M. Edwards and J. G.
Edwards of this place and w.
A. Edwards of Sawtelle, Cali,
and one sister, Mrs. w. w.
Magness of this place.
The remains were brought
here for burial and wereb uried
Tuesday afternoon at the Ed
wards graveyard. at the old
home, a few miles north of
town.

RELATES INTERESTING
STORY OF CIVIL WAR
r. c. Adams One of Three Sur
vfvors Who Left Jackson
port SIS Years Ago Friday

Uncle Bob Adams of Oil
Trough who has resided in In
dependence county II years,
can relate some interesting in
cidents in connection with the
early history of this section.
Uncle Bob is one of the few
remaining Confederate veter-
ans who enlisted from this
county and saw service on the
field of carnage during the
Civil war. He relates an inter-
esting story of the enlistment
of his company at old Jackson
port and their departure for
the front.
1t was 55 years ago last Fri
Friday, August A, 1861, that
Company 4, Eighth Arkansas,
left Jacksonport aboard the
steamer Mary Patterson, Capt.
Morg Bateman, bound for
Pocahontas. On the trip up
Black River, Eph Conner, a
member of the company, fell
overheard somewhere near Ell
gin and it is not known wheth-
er his body was ever recovered
or not. From Pocahontas his
regiment went to City Point on
the Mississippi river and from
there by boat to Columbus, KY,
where they shipped by rail to
Bowling Green, KY, going by
way of Humboldt, Tenn, They
were stationed at Bowling
Green until about the time of
the fall of Fort Donaldson,
when they were transported
by rail to Nashville, Tenn, and
then to Murphreesboro.
Uncle Bob was in a number
of the worst battles of the Civ
il war but went through the
entire cinfliet and sustained
only one wound of any conse-
quence, having been shot in
the leg. He was taken prisoner
on Jan. |, 1868, but in the fol
lowing April was exchanged
and was permitted to join his
regiment at Bellbuckle, Tenn.
During the battle of Muir
phreesboro, Col. John G.. Flet-
cher, late of Little Rock, who
was in command of the Sixth
Arkansas, was wounded in the
leg and Capt. Richie lost an
arm, and Uncle Bob was de-
tailed to nurse them.
When Company B left Jack
sonport it contained LOG men
including captain, but of this
number only three are now liv-
ing, these being Uncle Bob
Adams, Rev. J. S. Covey, who
now resides at Sandtown in
this county, and w. J. Sheriff.
Of Russellville.
Capt. W. S. Smalley
of lower Oil Trough was
n comm and of the company.
Tom Bateman was first lieut.
enant and M. D. Hulsey was
second lieutenant.
Among those from this i'm
mediate vicinity who were
members of the company were
Bud Burnes, Ceph Bremen,
Dick and Tom Stephens, Louis
Allwhite, Marion Mann, Hen
~ Fortenberry, John Arnold,
Dick McHenry and Tom Wal
