THERE is nothing compulsory about the GRAPnIc's coming special edition. Every man is a free moral agent and eau act in the premises according to his personal and indi- vidual judgement. It is simply re- solvel its self down to business proposition. The GRAPHIC will issue special edition for general distribu- tion of at least ', 800 copies setting forth the resources, industries and business enterprises of this city and county, and the question: which ad- dres ses itself to every business and professional man is, not such an en- terprise of direct and material value to him, personally, and to the town, generally? For this particular work and service the GRAPHIC has employed an experienced newspaper man and a descriptive writer of almost National reputation, MT Hal David. or Mr. David a former issue of the Fort Smith Times says. oMr. David is a descriptive writer of no small merit and is one of the few Southern writers who has gained National reputation.
 The above compliment to Mir. Davis from the Fort Smith Times was just after he had concluded a write-up of Fort Smith in local competitor, the Elerator. We mention this merely to show the difference between Fort Smith and Pine Bluff journalism.
 Mir. David also got up in 1893 a special edition for the Waco (Texas) Dog Globe. Following the issue of this edition the Day Globe said of MT. David and his work
 aIn Mir. David the Day Globe found that rare combination of an admirably efficient business solicitor and descriptive and business writer, having competency for this special work to adegree not possessed by any other man we have known. More than this, in him was found a gentleman and man whose integri- ty and personal qualities have made association with him agreeable and satisfactory beyond any anticipa tions, making his engagement and stay here an episode of grateful memory. In commenting him to newspaper and business men else where, if there were stronger words that could be used in his behalf than those above, they would certainly be used; and in considering his career, business and personal, if he shall achieve the measure of the friendly wishes formed and held for him by the writer he will have little to com plain of in what the future brings him.

NP. HAL DATTD.

Mir. Hal David is a man small of stature and of rather modest pre- tentions to have acquired so much notoriety in this community in so short a time. Mr. David, like mil lions of others, is engaged in the laudable task of bread winning. He is private citizen and seeks no great public notoriety. The swell ing emotions of ambition have never carried him on to giddy heights of great fame. 1t is an old saw that some men are born great, others acquire greatness and still others have greatness thrust upon them. But Mir. David has never won the distinction of a Major or a Colonel. The war had passed away and Gen. Grant had declared peace at Alp pomatox before he ever saw the light of day. He is not one of that class whom some poet describes in the following couplet
 "He who fights and runs away,
 Lives to fight another day"
 But Mr. David has had fame thrust upon him-at least so far as this community is concerned. But it is a fading fame-an evanescent fame. This fame is co-equal only with the circle of the limited eircu- lation of the Pine Bluff Commercial. Out of that circle he can walk in the brief space of a few hours. Then his fame becomes a thing worthless and valueless.
 The source of Mr. David's local notoriety and fame is due to the fact that he has been employed by this paper to get up special edition of the GRAPHIC. Tn regard to David, he is all o. K. Make the best con tract you can with him. That was the opinion of the editor of the Commercial of Mir. David when the former was endeavoring to employ the latter for the same service for which he is now engaged by the GRAPHIC. But since he went toI work for the GRAPHIC David is all un-O.

of persons who embrace the dochine Of free silver coinage as an economic principle, there are many thousands more who urge it notas an economic theory, but from a feeling that the present condition of affairs must be changed, and the more radical the change the better. Tariff revisions have not helped the peoples nor have they been prosperous under the existing gold standard. This IS why many of them have determined upon change, their determination being strengthened by the feeling that to shake un the money centers of the country will be to administer a lesson against the business domination of a few
 Right or wrong, that is the senti- ment, and it is an underlying cause of the free silver movement. The de mand for free silver is not so much based on economic theorizing as on the wish to register a protest.

A FAREWELL SONG SERVICE.
In Honor of Mrs. Addis T. owen at th Main Street Methodist Church
 Sunday NIgnt

The farewell song service at the Main Street Methodist church last night, in honor of Mrs. Addie T Owen, the retiring organist of the church, was largely attended, and the affair was impressive and full Of interest. Mrs Owen is dearly be- loved by every person in thecity who knows her, andit was with hearts full of sadness that the members of the Main Street Methodist Church bade her good-b,e e and God speed last night, for today she left for Greenville, Texas, her future home where she will reside with her son, Mir. Frank Owen.
 A committee of the church ap- pointed by the Official Board pre- pared the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted last night and ordered spread on the record of the church:
 WHEREAS, in the course of human events, individuals are called upon to change their homes, and sever sacred ties that bind, and leave loved ones behind to go into new fields of labor, and form new associates, be- cause of existing circumstances, that seems for the best, and whereas, il is a fact that our good sister and CO., worker for Christ, Mrs. Addie Y. Owen, leaves as to make her home with son in Greenville, Texas, therefore be it
 RESOLVED, That we, the Official Board of First Methodist Church, South, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, do sincerely regret to loose her from our church membership, from our organ, and from our society, but pray for Heavens richest blessings to rest on her, and some sweet day if not on this earth, then in the great beyond to meet again where there is no part ing.
 She has given us faithful service for five years, while in control of the church music. and not only delighted the hundreds of audiences, but she has played an important part in the two great events of human life. She has sounded many a wedding note, as we'll as the last farewell to our departed dead.
 We wish her wealth. happiness. and Godliness, and while the loss is great, we congratulate the church on securing the services of Miss Nodie Andrews ia nermaa- ently take charge of our music.
 May the prayers of our people fol- low Sister Owen through all her future and may she ever feel that she has left behind her friendship that is sublime in the name of our blessed

4 MOVEMEAT OF PROTEST
iGhieago Record.

iNAANhsN AANNOlos
 WHEN the history of the present campaign comes to be written the present startling movement toward free silver will be set down as one of the most remarkable of the sudden revulsions of sentiment which of late years have marked the path of American politics.
 Four years ago silver was but an incident in the national campaign. Mir. Cleveland's attitude was known before the election, but it was scarcely considered by the voting public, which gave its attention to the all absorbing issue of tariffs. Not until after he had taken office and had compelled the repeal of the Sherman act did silver begin to as sume momentous proportions as an issue. Even the excitement created by that act was only temporary, and probably the greatest majority of American politicians did not suspect the presence of a powerful and lar reaching free silver movement until long after the first of the bond issues.
 In the brief time since that sale of government bonds there has arisen a movemet which involves not only the silver mining territories of the west, but many states where the profits and lofses of the silver miners are matter of total indifference. 1t is one of the surprises of the cam paign that the political leaders on reviewing the situation have found a free silver sentiment throughout the country, whereas it was sup posed to be local. The birth of the issue was as quiet as it was sudden. How widely it has extended is shown in almost every phase of the present campaign.
 The reason for this astonishing growth of new issue throughout the country is not far to seek. In history the free silver movement will be described as a movement of pro- test. Besides the many thousands

Commercial man. Therefore, he has been bounded, libeiled and slandered by the Commerciot for week. The sour grapes" are very sour, and as contracts roll in for space in our special edition they become the sour est of the sour to the emerald eyed editor Of our evening contemporary.
 But back to David: his Galioth is not worth a pea pod.
 Mir. David comes to Pine Bluff with the very highest letters of recommendation and indorsement; he would not have been employed by the GRAPHIC for any service if he had not. Among these letters of indorsement are letters from MT. J. W Gardner, of the Texarkana Dem- 0crdt, E. J. Senter, of the Fort Worth Gazette; E. A. Burnett, of the Cairo alletta; Peyt5l Btowa of the Austin Statesnsqa, Fred Chase of the Galveston E5bme, and about fifty others that lie upon our desk. Mir. David has been employed by the above gentlemen in a similar capaci- ty to that which he is at present engaged on the GRAPHIC, and we have samples of his work in this office which are subject to the in- spection of any who desire to make it.
 Finally, we desire to say that Mr. David is not fakir (the GRAPHIC does not employ fakirs); that he is not Yankee thaying been born in Charleston, $. O, and that he has demeaned himself in this communi- ty as 9 gentleman, which is more than we can say for the course or conduct of some of his traducers.
 The fact of the business is that the Commercial is hitting at the GRAPHIC over Mir. David's should ers-venting it's spleen and pro fessional iealousy-without the courage to come out and make an open fight, or the manhood tc acknowledge it.
