THE DEATH RATE
Pine Bluff a Remarkably Healthy City
 An UnexcelIed Record

That Pine Bluff is one of the most healthy cities in the South has long been claimed, and justly so, by our people. A GRAPHIC reporter was looking over the records of deaths this afternoon, and even he was sur prised that the percentage for the year was so low. From the first of September the first of November this year there were only ten deaths in Pine Bluff, city of over 12,000 in- habitants; and for thesame tire last year there were just sixteen deaths. What other city in Arkansas can show as low q death rate?

Mccarthy; Vice-President, George Reichart; Treasurer. Ghas. F. Penzel; Attorney, $. k. Cockrill; Manager, Col. r. Raleigh.

The com pany will begin business in about two months, and it will be q formidable competitor of foreign companies for the patronage of our people.

greatest satisfaction. The more j see of

IL is shredding from $50 TO 400 tons Of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and il could shred q much larger
quantity If necessary. 10 delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives il
without the intervention Of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability Of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is a saving of four t4) men daily
on the mill, as only one man is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. II has
