The building of history at the

A large and influential planter OF
this county said to GRAPHIC re-
1ftef the other day: 81 see that
the GRAPHIC Is opposed to an early

Is right. There Is no need of an
5early and long campaign in this
comfy. this year. The straight
ticket wss settled upon last year,
and there is nSthing to be done this
year but nomina1ss candidates ana
elect them. The farsers are busy
preparing for and win sAooh DC
planting their crops, aud they 10
not want to be interrupted, or have
their labor interrupted, by eager
and importunate candidates. And
then, too, the candidates should
remember that the longer they are
In the race the longer they will have
their legs pulled. A short cam
paign would be best for the people
and best for the candidates, and for
my part, l hope the campaign will
not be precipitated until after the

JOE DREW VS.. KID RYAN.
The Contest Declared a Draw at the
End of the Tenth Round.

Saturday night in the arena of the
Pine Bluff Athletic Association, and
before half hundred spectators, Joe
Drew, of Pine Bluff, and kid"
Ryan, of Chicago, fought "a ten-round
glove contest which gave satisfac-
ton to those who had paid their
money to witness it. Drew is by far
the better man, both in strength and
endurance, and the sounding of the
gong in two instances in this fight
saved Ryan from being knocked out.
RYAN, although he has considerable
science and plenty of grit" was
evidently in poor condition and 9
fe punches from Drew winded him.
Drew had all the best of the fight
from his first blow, which landed on
Ryan's nose and made the "claret''
fly. AS both men were on their feet
ut the end of the tenth round, how
ever, Referee Ports declared the con-
test Il draw.
After the fight Billy Layton entered
the arena and in behalf of the, Asso-
citation promised its patrons, on the
night of January 10Th, the grandest
pngilstic contests thatever occurred
in the State. An elaborate program
has been arranged for the occasion.
At this time Billy Layton will be
pitted in a twenty-five round go"
against Frank White, the champion
welter-w weight of Colorado, who is at
present a member of Dan Stewards
aggregation of fighters. Layton has
a national reputation as fighter,
and after having gone against the
best men of his class in this country
he has only met defeat once. Another
event of interest on the program will
be a ten round contest between
Maber, of Cincinnati. and Casey, OF
Chicago.
No one who loves good sport OF
this nature can AFFORD 10 miss these
ieontests.

PINE BLUFF IRON W GEK.
A Prosperous Concern With an
Extensive patronage.


The following compliment to a
we'll known local concern is taken
from the Little Rock Democrat:
The Pine Bluff Boiler and Sheet
Iron Works, LeLaurin Bros, pro-
prietors, Pine Bluff, have recently
had quite a job of repair work on
the boilers of the Arkansas Cotton
Oil Mills in this city, and have also
had number of men at work on
the boilers of the Big Creek Lnm-
Der Company, at Pollock, La. They
are building the Eureka steel dry
kiln truck for the latter concern as
fast as they abandon their old
wooden ones. Other contracts in
course of completion at these works
include the building of a 10000
gallon capacity tank for the Globe
Oil Company, which will be located
at Camden, and one for roller-bear-
ing Trucks from the F. A. Reqnarth
Company, of Dayton, o. The Lee
Laurin Bros, proprietors, report
that the prospects seem very bright
for business in 1896.

for Governor.
In Response to Large Petition, Has
Decided to Stand for Re
Election as State su-
perintendent.

Special to the Graphic.
LITTLE Rock, Jan. 27.-Prof Jun
ins Jordan today finally announced
that he would not enter the race for
Governor, but would stand for re.
election as State Superintendent of
public instruction. This decision
has been reached after two weeks
deliberation and consideration of
petition signed by nearly every
teacher N the State asking him to
remain in his present position in Or
der to still further promote the
schoo, aud educational interests of
the State. Prof. Jordan could not
well leave the State Superiniendent's
office in the face of this strong petit
tion and he has therefore decided to
yield to the wishes of the educators
of the State who were so strongly in
fuential in promoting him to his
present position.

"Maloney's Wedding !"

"Maloney's Wedding was pre-
sented at the Opera-house last night
to fair-sized audience. The com
pany possesses but little merit. The
singing and dancing were very good
but when that is said all is said. TIE
acting was in the nature of HORSE
play" and the jokes were as stale
as chestnuts. The limitations given
by John Duffy, as Mr. Malon@ y, :
however, were very good and were
literally applauded,
The Cotton Belt orchestra also
rendered fine service, which was one
of the most enjoyable features of the
evening.

printed page, and this our teachers
try to de by having. having the pupils
write abstracts of the reading
lessons, by frequent discussion of
the articles read, etc. Therefore,
when we examine a class we often
ask the pupils to name their
fayorite piece, give the reasons
therefor, etc In other words, we
strive to get them to give atten-
to the matter they read as we'll as
the manner of reading One OF
the most valuable features of these
examinations is the fact that all
the papers are carefully corrected
by the teachers, every error in
spelling, capitalization, punctua-
ton and construction being care
fully marked in red ink and the
papers are then returned to the
pupils to be examined, that they
may get the benefit of painstaking
corrections made by the teachers.
''This must involve an immense
amounto of work for the teachers,
interpo8ed the reporter.
Eyes; but they do it cheerfully.
The truth is that the teachers do a
great deal of work of which the
world knows little. In these days
of progressive teaching no teacher
can long hold a place who does not
do great deal for her pupils out
of school hours In the mere mat
ter of every day work they have
great deal of extra work to do.
To illustrate: We have teachers
of history in our schools who con-
stantly read five or six different
text books besides the ones taught
in school In this way they ale
able to come to their classes
literally filled with their subject
and with such teacher the long
est recitation period is short in
deed. Pupils have little respect
for teachers whose knowledge IS
limited by the few facts stated in
the ordinary school text book. But
you asked me to tell about examina-
tions and not about teachers.
BY whom are the questions
prepared?a asked the reporter.
The School Board has wisly
provided that the Superintendent
shall prepare the questions. This
is the only way to secure an educa-
tional system A school system is
a piece of mechanism in which each
teacher prepares part, and in
order that the whole may be
properly made it is needful that
each part may be made after a
pre-arranged plan. This method, |
too, prevents mannerism on the
part OF the teachers, and tends to |
prevent them from neglecting or
wook that is valuable and
Moreover, it gives them
absolute freedom in drilling and
reviewing classes If teachers
we're to prepare their own questions
it would be difficult to drill on the
more important parts, and yet
escape the occasional examining
for examination. But though /
nave said little about examination,
It's character and effects, | think
have said quite enough for one
time, and with this the Superin-
tendent excused himself and
passed on.
