An Interview with Young Bnsiness Man
 the Local Situation.

A prominent young business man said to the GRAPIc reporter this morning: 'The tendency of the i times is towards cheaper prices. There has been reduction in nearly every thing that enters into the home. Here in Pine Bluff there has been a
 reduction in profits, reduction in clerk hire and salaries and reduc- tion in everything. except rents and board. Why there has not been a corresponding reductionin these two things I do not understand We are paying as high rent for business houses and as high prices for board
 as We did three and four years ago, when we were getting eight and nine cents for cotton and money was
 plentiful. There is bound to be a re duction in the future all along the
 line. As 1 said, the tendency of the age is toward cheaper prices, and the South has got to reconstruct herself to the new conditions. Our farmers, if they would he prosperous, nlnHt learn to buy less and pay cash for what they get. They must learn to

They were playing for amusement solely and there was no gambling whatever, but the shining silver sheckles ex- cited the cupidity and nvariee of the City Marshal or Constable, who happened to be near, and who was ever watchful of an opportunity to increase the emoluments of his office, SO he immediately arrested the par ties and refused to rc:ease them until they had paid fine of $l0 each.

 Tin. fact that these parties, who, according tu ys,u. were subjected to treatment at Malvern which is nothing less than robbery under the gnise of law," were earsie,l before Il court of competent jurisdiction. aud there, upon their own confession of guilt, fined for gambling, is a matter of record open to the inspection of any person who may desire to eSs, anime the same, and the preteDce that ''the arrested members of the company had no time to go into court" and hence submitted to the outrage and paid their fine is all clap-trap. There was q number of the other members uf the Bonehill company present when the arrest was made, besides other travelling men, any or all of whom could have been called to disprove the charge oi gambling, had 1t not been true, and there was ample time to have made a defense to the charge before the arrival of the train had the accused parties desired to have attempted a defence.
