PLEASANT AVENUE

1t is no longer Mt. Pleasant pike,
we want you to know, but Pleasant
avenue, if you please. 1t is no longer
a mud hole country lane, it is more
of a big city boulevard, and with the
change passes out the "pike" and en-
ters the "avenue-Pleasant avenue for
all time to come. And isn't the name
appropriate? The Press ventures to
predict (just as it did before the i'm
provement was made and when it was
advocating the big Improvement,
with the coming of spring when the
people along the thoroughfare plant
trees, grass and flowers, that Pleas
ant avenue will be one of the most
pleasing sights of any of our streets
and avenues in the city. The people
along Pleasant avenue are much
pleased with the big Improvement,
that the roadway is paved and that
they no longer have to look into a
sea of mud and a lot of chuck holes
during wet weather and a cloud of
dust during dry weather, that the car
tracks are moved into the center of
the roadway so that they no longer
have to be afraid when leaving the
front gate open that it will be slam
med in their faces or that their shins
will be barked while sitting on the
front porch step by passing cars.
Underwriters are happy that they
now have a decent road to drive over
when coming to or going from the
city.
In fact the whole city is proud of
the big improvement and glad it is
finished 1t is without doubt one of
the greatest steps in progress the
city has ever undertaken. The old
road was disgrace, detriment, and
left bad taste for the city with the
thousands of strangers driving in
here, whereas the new avenue, as it is,
speaks well for the city and is Won
derful advertisement for the city. The
improvement of Pleasant avenue is a
long time dream realized.
While we are at it let's give a lit
tie credit where it is due to the one
mostly responsible for bringing this
big improvement to final conclusion.
And that is to Service Director Will
liam F. Mason. Mr.. Mason, like
others before him, tried to get the
street car company around to where
they would agree to the removal of
the car tracks to the center of the
roadway, but without avail. .All the
coaxing, begging and threatening
seemed to have no effect on the hard
shelled fnanciers who thought that
they saw chance for tying up the
city for perpetual rights that would
greatly enhance the value Of their
existing hide-bound franchise. When
Director Mason saw what he was up
against he simply said to those own
ing property and living along Pleas
ant avenue, "Do you want the road
paved whether the car tracks are
moved or not?" and when they said
Eyes" he gave the orders to proceed
with the paving and then the trac-
tion company woke up to what was
doing and asked for only time long

pLUToCRACY STANDS PAT

speaking lux hAS oAsi-SAeoS AS~A
employers before the senate commit
tee on education and labor, Judge
2. T. Vinson, chief counsel for West
Virginia coal owners, defed the gov
ernment, the president and the SEN
ate. He gave this notice that his
employers would continue their war
like course, and would ignore every
overture for peace:
"We will not have anything what
ever to do under any circumstances
with the United Mine Workers of
America, or their representatives. /
see no reason why we should recognize
their union, and under no circum-
stances will we do so, either through
this honorable committee, through the
president of the United States, or any
other tribuntl."
This spokesman for plutocracy
misstated the miners position. He
| knows, and the senate committee
knows, that the miners have not ask
ed for union recognition.
| But the straw man that Vinson
erected served its purpose. 1t was
Mammon's snarl that the government
must not interfere with it's West Vir-
ginia property-Mingo, Logan and
Mcdowell counties, and inhabitants
therein.
Vinson's def was less crude thar
the methods of the Baldwin-Felts
thugs but its intent was as sharp anc
clean cut as the bullets zip as il
speeds from the thugs rife into the
tented colony of the striking miners.
No one accepted WILSON'S challenge
No public official has picked up this
gauntlet that Garyism filings in the
face of the government.
When workers would strike against
wage cuts, they are warned not to de-
fly the government. But when autoc-
racy shows its teeth, these lecturers
are silent.

SHOP EARLY

Do your Christmas shopping early,
Do it now, and do it in Hamilton
Hamilton's stores are jammed full of
everything that can possibly be need

instances lower, than they can be
bought elsewhere. So there is no rea.
son for spending your money outside
the city. Spend your money where
you earn it, spend it with the peo
pie who help keep up Hamilton.

"Just consider that during all the
controversy, no individual railroad or
railroad executive spoke for himself
or acted for himself. They all oper-
ated through general, sectional and
local s-organizations for the
purpose of collective bargaining and

matter of wages; that is their passen-

f "Can you at any time hire rail-

sions to certain point--no matter
how many roads enter it--unless you

Among the organizations which
were opposed to the labor unions
were: The Association of Railway

ways entering Chicago, the American
Railway Association, the Association

ways, Of Trunk Lines, of Short Lines,
of Passenger Agents, of New Eng

Much thanks to Mr.. Mason. Now II
he will just use his influence to stir
up the county commissioners on the

A NEW MANAGER

While in Stuttgart Tuesday we had the pleasure of meeting Mir. Fred T. Thayer, the new manager of the Layne 6 Bowler Company for Ar kansas. We found him a very pleas ant gentleman, full of business and quite optimistic as to the future of the company despite the present f. nancial pressure that is being felt by all lines of business.
 MT. Thayer says he contemplates many changes during the coming year which he thinks will prove advan- tageous to his company.
 MT. Thayer has been with the com- pany at Memphis for some time past and is one of their experienced men who knows the irrigation business from first to last, and we predict for him a successful future in Arkansas, a part of which is the Carlisle dis trict, which is dotted with Layne & Bowler plants in every direction from this city.
 Mir. Thayer says he will visit this section as soon as he gets lined up and has time to make a trip over the field. We feel that when our people are contemplating putting in plants for the future growing of rice meet this gentleman they will have the same good feeling toward him that we have.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

Esrvl Gillian, son of MT. and Mrs. w. A. Gillian, accidentally shot him. self in the arm while out hunting Sat- urday afternoon.
 He had started across the bayou west of town on a floating log and was using his gun to steady himself, when it was discharged shooting him in the arm. He fell into the bayou but managed to get out and started for home but missed his way and was picked up and brought home by MT. Cobb, who resides not far from the same.
 Young Gillian was taken to Dr. Callahan's office where his wound was dressed sufficiently to permit his being taken to Little Rock hospital for surgical operation.
 News has been received that his arm will be saved by process of grating in parts of bone that had been shattered by the shot.
 He was accompanied to Little Rock Saturday night by his father and brother, and his mother went over Sunday to visit him.
 We are glad to report that he is getting along nicely and will not lose the wounded arm.

Especial Staff Correspondent of the
 Arkansas Democrat)

Washington, Jan. 17-When Her bert Hoover, former food administra- tor, comes to Washington this week he expects to confer with Senator Robinson relative to the purchase of large quantities of Arkansas rice, to be used in feeding the starving children of Europe. This is in response to a .suggeston from the Arkansas senator, sent to MT. Hoover last week
 In his reply the former food admin istration writes he will take pleasure in disussing this matter with Senator Robinson, and points out that it is his purpose to use all the money sub scribed in the United States for Euro pean relief in the purchase and trans portation of supplies in this country.
 It is estimated that at least five or six thousand tons of rice will be re- quired between now and next Septem- Der. Under the schedule proposed MT. Hoover will spend approximately as much for ArkaAsas rice as the amount received in contributions from that state.
 Some offers of gift rice have been re- ceived, and this IS being encouraged. MT. Hoover points out that rice will form one of the vital foods for chil- dren and the amount to be used will depend in a large measure on the suc- cess of the drive,

 MT. Welch has been manager of the Fair Store here for the past five years he has lived in Carlisle and has host of warm friends here who wish him success in any undertaking he may make when he reaches the western country.
 The Fair Store has prospered un- der hs management and his many friends will miss he and his estimable wife when they take their departure.
 Mr. Welch states that if upon reaching their destination his wife's health is regained he will go into some kind of business in that coun- try, unless it is safe to return here where he has so many friends and aequaintances.
 The Independent wishes for them an abundance of success in whatever they may undertake and for Mrs Weleh speedy recovery of health, which is wealth within itself.

If a hum ming bird passed over that mountain once every thousand years and just barely touched the tip of his wing on the top of that mountain, that hum- ming bird would have worn that mountain down level with the ground before breakfast time in Heaven.

Nichols & Hutson
 "The Old Reliable"

Mr. T. O. King has made several improvements in his barber shop in the past few days He has just in stalled White Rabbit baby barber chair for the accommodation of the lit tie fellows that are customers to his shop. He has also put in electric mo- tors and a pressure tank to furnish hot and cold water for his shop and and bath room, and now has one of the most up-to-date tonsorial parlors in this section. He is prepared to do his work promptly and sanitarily. MT. King has been in the barber busi- ness here for many years and has al- ways made it point to keep pace with the times by adding to his place of business as the occasion demanded.
 It will take the state of Arkansas an age to recover from the past four years of misadministration, and 1t is to be hoped that the present legisla- ture is not so warped that it will not recognize he wis;hes of the people. We believe that Mir. McRae will make the people good governor and will save them something instead of try ing to spend everything they have by keepng lot of useless commits sions and other officers on the pay roll.
 MT. c. c. Woodfn, the new cashier of the Bank of Carlisle arrived Sun day night and entered upon his duties Monday morning. MT.

Woodfn has the best wishes of the Independent for successful fu- ture in Cariilse.

TRAMP TRAIN RUNS
WITHOUT SCHEDULE

DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 24.-There is
a tramp train on the Duluth and iron
Range railroad running up into the
north woods that has gone on for year
after year unheeding the advance or
progress. The train is known as the
Highball She makes her nightly flight
into the north woods for the accom-
mediation of lumberjacks, sportive
fishermen, hunters and seekers OF
work. picking up as a side issue a
parcel of hogs or herd Of sheep.
The Highball is composed OF box
cars, one wooden passenger coach, a
combination smoker and baggage car
and then a caboose, the latter serving
as sleeping car.
So the Highball wends her merry
way almost unheedful of a schedule,
for she will drop off a fisherman or a
hunter in any hour in the dead of night
at any place he chooses to select sta
ton or no station; or one of the crew

The Highball waits. Or it may stop at
a little cottage just around a curve
where little woman is nursing back

HighbaH stops while the crew takes
up a collection of butter, eggs and
potatoes gathered along the right oil
way.
Truly, the Highball is unique as q
train running in this advanced age.
