WE CAN DO IT

Our people are taking more opti- mistic view of conditions every day and we believe they are justified in so doing Conditions have always been depressed prior to national cleo tions and have never failed to revive and produce better times after the po- litical atmosphere clears up and the people get down to business again. If we would just take second thought we would readily see that it is useless to sulk and lie down on the job. Get busy at something and busi- ness will get back to normal before you realize what has happened. The continual talk of bad conditions and bad business will eventually make bad business. Think moment and then begin to talk the other way and you will soon begin to see change for the better. We never gain any thingby looking on the dark side of anything. Let's look on the bright side for awhile. Let's make condi- tions better We can do it, if we will only think so. Many of our people have passed through conditions ten times as strenuous as today and come out on top. The only trouble at this time is that we have had few years of exceedingly good times, and it is hard to get back to the old grind, but we believe we will get back with but few scars and no fatalities Let's cut the word cant" out of our vocabulary and make good conditions anyhow. We can do it.

RULING FAVORS ARKANSAS
 RICE MILL COMPANIES

Examiner Kephart of the Inter- state Commerce Commission has handed down tentative opinion in the case brought by Lake Charles Rice Mill Company, attacking the rice rates from Arkansas, which is favorable to Arkansas. In that pro ceeding the Lake Charles mill at tempted to have the Interstate Com merce Commission order the rail roads to establish a milling-in-t trans it privilege at Lake Charles on rice moving from Arkansas. This would have had the effect of depriving the Arkansas mills of the benefit of their location and would have given the Louisiana mills a material advantage over the Arkansas mills.
 The Arkansas mills, through Oak H. Rhodes, secretary and general manager of the Stuttgart Rice Mill, A. D. Beals of. Little Rock, their traf- fic manager, and Edward A. Haid of St. Louis, their attorney, fought and have won the case.

HUMANITY NEEDS RED CROSS
 SAYS HARDING

Point Isabel, Tex. Nov. 11.-Pres- ident elect Warren G. Harding today issued the following statement with reference to the Red Cross Roll Call :: Roll Call for this season is impend- ing, I have wanted to express my very earnest sympathy for your cause and my hopes that it may be for warded by the coming campaign. If in all the world there is an organiza- tion more entitled to be regarded as doing good universally and doing nothing else at any time or any place, I do not know what it may be. It would be peculiarly a misfortune if the Red Cross with it's magnificent organization and splendid purpose of useful achievement should lose any measure of it's efficiency because the special interest and enthusiasm of war time have ceased. Your organi- zation has been built to serve hu- manity and humanity needs it's ser vice in peace just as it did in war. My wishes for all success go out to you.'

CARLISLE ARKANSAS THURSDAY
BRYAN REGARDED AS "SLACk
 FER" BY WILSON
President Will Not Quit to Please
 COmmoner

Washington, Nov. 5.-Several inn today One of them is that President Wilson will not resign at the request of William Jennings Bryan, who is described by indignant administration Democrats as stacker" Another is that leaders of the defeated party are not going to turn the organiza- tion over to MT. Bryan or any other person, or persons who sulked through the campaign and never turned hand toward electing the ticket. A third development was that President-elect Harding will have to do the goose-step for the old Dis trict of Columbia contingent that used to make money out of inaugu- rations in various ways. He has al ready been asked to revive the inaug- ural ball that President Wilson promptly vetoed when he came in eight years ago.
 Among those senators who will be on hand to thwart any plans of MT. Bryan to embarrass or humiliate President Wilson, or to take charge of the party machinery, are Carter Glass and Claude A. Swanson of Vir- ginia, F. M. Simmons and Lee Slater Overman of North Carolina, Oscar w. Underwood and Thomas Heflin of Alabama, Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, John Sharp Williams and Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, Thomas J. Walsh of Montana and Atlee Pome- rene of Ohio.

Southern Democrats Angry

Southern Democrats are very an gry with MT. Bryan. They think that he should ask for no more ia vors at the hands of the Democratic party after his failure to help in the campaign for Gov. Cox. His old pop ularity there is gone, and he will be told where to get off whenever he starts his proposed reorganization movement.
 Democrats charge Mr. Bryan with Stacking" at time when his coun- try needed him, when he quit the State Department and after the San Francisco convention. For these and other sins he is not to be taken seri- ously.
 President Wilson has no idea of quitting his duties at the White House because MT. Bryan suggests it. It is believed by his friends should his health fail, and make it impossible for him to attend to his work, he would get out. At present he is in fine condition.
 Washington Republicans are plan ming big inauguration for MT Harding. They will give up the sim plicity of the Wilson inaugurals and break all previous records for a show and big noise.
 There is much speculation as to whether the president will follow the custom and ride, from the White House to the Capitol with the presi- dent-elect, or just remain at the White House and say goodbye and depart on the arrival of his successor Mir. Wilson plans to carry out this regular program but all will depend on his physical condition.

 The Arkansas Democrats editorial, Some Deplorable American Trends, , in it's Wednesday issue is one of the best that has come to our table in many moons.

 MT. John Benson, one of our fellow townsmen has been employed by Messrs. Patterson and Vennum to manage their large rice farm and cotton plantation south of town. We know of no better man for the posi- tion. MT. Benson is one of the best posted rice men in this section and has been successful in the growing of rice for many years. He also un- derstands cotton growing as we'll as any man here. The Independent wish es for him a successful career in the management of one of the largest farms on the prairie.

SENT FAMOUS WAR MESSAGE
Man Who Wigwagged "Hoid the Fort"
for General Sherman During
Civil Conflict, Is Dead.

Alfred Nye, member Of the Federal
Signal corps during the Civil war, who
died recently at Lexington, Neb., is
credited with having sent General
Sherman's famous message, Hold the
fort" to General Corse at Allatoona
Pass, Ca, in 1864. During General
&Sherman's march to Atlanta, the Con-
federates under General Hood, with.
drew and marched around General
Sherman, heading back toward Ten
nessee, planning thereby to cut the
Union line Of communication. i.
The point chosen by the Confed-
crates was Allatoona Pass, guarded
by two little forts Oh either side Of
the railroad, the garrison being formed
Of small brigade under Lieut.. Col. ].
e. Tourtellotte. When the Confederate
army began its attack Colonel Tour
tellotte asked for help. General Corse,
with the nearest troops available, at
Rome, Ca, was ordered to reinforce
the pass. He was, able to move only
a few hundred men.
The battle ragged through the
night and the following day, the Union
men refusing to surrender the fort.
Meanwhile Sherman was exchanging
signals with the men whenever the
smoke of, battle drifted aside, until he
was able to have Alfred Nye wigwag
to them: "Hold the fort" The Con-
federates retreated and continued their
march to Tennessee.

Tactical Error.

A major of marines had his bat
TALON out In the brush in Cuba for q
problem in observation. He detailed a
private to go to a small hill about a
quarter of a mile away and conceal
himself. The battalion would then
try to locate the private with field
glasses as training for finding enc
my scouts and snipers during actual
battle conditions.
The private trotted off and, at a sig
nal from the major, Topped to the
ground. The major turned around to
explain the problem to the battalion.
but, upon turning again, was much In
censed to- see the private standing
again In full view of all. Selling a
pair of signal flags from a sergeant
the major wig-wagged wrathfully:
"Why don't you lie down as ordered?"
Upon which the private on the sky
line wig-wagged back respectfully, but
with great emphasis:
"Sir, why did the major order me to
lie down on an ant hill?"-The Home

Buried Rome.

ArcheologIsts in France have been
greatly encouraged by the success
which has attended the excavations in
Provence in search Of more Roman
architectural remains. 1t is thought,
owing to the extent Of the discoveries,
that it will be possible to bring to
light the roads which existed between
the various Roman establishments of
the south of France. Inscriptions and
sculptured fragments have been found
at Die in the Drome aqueducts, an i'm
mense gymnasium, metropolis and
ramparts at Orange; while at Watson
the Roman theater having been fully
revealed, the statues discovered there
In fragments are being pieced in the
neighboring museum. There is a
Sabina, a Tiberius, a :Hadrian and an
Augustus.
