HARDIN COLLEGE.
The Building to be Enlarged and Other
Improvements Made as Seen
as Possible.

Hardin College is one of the most
prosperous institutions of the kind
in the entire country and its capac-
'ity is tested to the utmost. Quite
a number more of youngladies could
be secured if there was room. At q
meeting of the board OF this institu-
ton this week a committee was ap-
pointed to arrange for the erection
of a new building attached to the
east end of the present one. This
new building will accommodate from
60 to 100 more boarders and is bad
ly needed. This building committee
is composed of VIM. Harper, A. G.
Turner, J. A. Potts, w. W. Harper,
T. B. Hit and G. F., Clark. The
board also proposes to straighten
Jefferson street at the northwest
corner of Ne college grounds. 1t
proposes to donate the ground to the
city providing the city will macad-
annie the street as far as Hardin
College, which We feel sure the City
Council will promptly do. Hardin
College has a bright future and will
eventually be the leading institution
in the country for the education of
girls. AS a matter of fact, the endow-
ment fund is increasing each year to
such an extent that in one hundred
years this fund will amount to
81, 900, 900. The income from this
endowment fund after that time
will all be used in running the
school,

Letter from rather Lucey.

Editor OF the Daily Graphic.
I have read with some care and
thought the article in yesterdays
Duly. Son to Texas which you
were kind enough to hand to me for
perusal. You have depicted very
strongly the constant stream of inn
migtation that has been passing for
months through our city, and our
apparent help1essness i'm the matter
Of providing better localities for those
home-seekers than they will find in
Texas, and of improving the oppor-
tunity to build up Jefferson county
with Il thriving and Industrious
people. The instance you give is but
one OF many that might be adduced.
There is d representative company al
prospectors now at Little Rock, who
came over the Missouri Pacific sys
sem to find places where investments
might be made. They will not ev N
show Pine Bluff the grace OF a pass
ing visit. Excursions Of this kind
are constantly being organized for
some part OF the State. Home-seekefs
and capitalists are as busy and as
axious as ever to attain the object Of
their lives, and both are more fire.
quently in cur midst than is gener-
ally imagined.
The Young Mems Commercial
League would seem to- be the thingf for
the place-but something cannot be
brought forth from nothing, at least
by 'human hands. The Commercial
League has no means It could not |
spend a Thousand or hundred dol
lars. No officer receives a salary and |
private business must benegleeted for
the public good How many in these
hard times can afford to do that t
more than onte or twice? The spirit
is strong but the flesh is weak.
Nothing OF consequence can be done
until the League is able TO proceed on
business principles. To do the work
money must be spent and some one
must be granted a salary that will T
Justify the giving Of his whole timeto
the interest OF the association. TT. T
Smith has proceeded in this manner
fer several years and now easily leads
all other cities of the State in en-
terprise The State OF Arkansas has
a salaried officer at Little Rock to
attend to work of this kind for the
State-at-Iarge Texarkana and Hot I
Springs are coming forward with q
promise to adopt similar measures.
The Commercial League should I
number on an average not less than
$50 members at $500 initiation fee
and 30 cents monthly aggregating
$1,000 annually. The city is ready to
appropriate to their use $500 year.
The county will not merely grant
their aid in the sum of $500 annually, I
but will furnish in a short time a
nice new building for their special
use and in tee fall, if circumstances
justify it, will erect Il bulldog that /
will he the finest headquarters OF any
such association i'll the State
The business men Of the city and |
county should become members of /
the League and then but a few dol
lars from each one would be suffi-
cient to afford salary OF a thousand |
dollars or more to a competent man
ager. The interests of the city and |
county would then be looked after
properly and something accom-
plished. j. NJ. LUCEY.

A NUMBER Of our State exchanges
are advocating the consolidation Of
elections in this State. Since the
passage Of the bill repeating the
Federal election law, our exchanges
contend, there is no further need of
separate elections for State and
National offices. We would urge
our exchanges aforesaid to be little
cautious in that regard. The Re
publican party is yet lively corpse,
and it's resuscitation is not entirely
impossible. It might some day re-
turn 10 power, re-enact the Federal
election laws and cause the adj
vocates of consolidation much re-
greet. There is plenty of time to
agitate that question several years
from now, and we would urge the
people of Arkansas not to act hastily
in that regard lest they repent at
leisure.
