UP IN SMOKE
Went ssso. 900 saturday Afte,

Went S33o.ooo Saturday Afternoon
 Saturday afternoon about $330. .000 went up in smoke on Pine street C. tween Barraque and Second avenue
 The coufia gation as it destroyed the representatives of the amount of wealth aforesaid was witnessed only by few citizens and by-stand- CTS.
 As the fire-alarm was not turned in no excitement was created and the destructive flames quickly and quietly waited the wealth that was to far away skies to hbeeome only lingering memory i'll the minds ef those who once boasted Of it's ownership, or witnessed the dreadful havoc of the scene.
 It was an awful scene, horrible to witness and dreadful to centempIa te "a disaster second to that of the re puted sinking of Manhattan. Think of what $330 900 will buy, and then some conception can be had Of the dreadful holocaust, and then just to think that it had to go up ir smoke.
 But it had served it's purpose It had paid taxes and for several years prior 10 the conflagratio had idly iasn in the vaults of the City Treas urer. The fuel taat fed the furious flames on yesterday was $330 GOO worth of cancelled city scrip, W hich WAS burned in obedience to the de- cree of the City Council The Mephistos who presided on this oc- casion, fed the flames and witnessed the conllagation were Aldermen Veil and Jo ce. City Clerk Bloom and City Treasurer Westbronk
 The scrip burned was old demand warrants dated from ls77 to 1895 and up to the time of the enactment Of the presens law providing for the registration aud paymen. of scrip in the order of issue,

The Golden Rule.

Ne call the especial attention of our readers to the rather extraordi- nary adj ertisement which appears in this issue for Mr ] k. Britain $ GalGen Rule store. We say extra ordinary because of he very remark able and cheap prices which are really unprecedented. quoted there in. In addition to these cheap prices quoted for opening days Mr. Britain offers 10 yards of calico for 25c with every Sl 20 purchase. We invite the especial attention of buyers to the low prices quoted today, and they will certainly find it to their interest to examine the same. It will lie seen that dollar will go long way at the ,i0lten Rule Do unto others as sou would have them do unto yau) Store. The spring stock has been carefully selected, and the ladies who attend the openings this week will find it to theirsadyantagi and profit to inspect the Golden Rule stock. As an evidence of Mir. Brittain's earnestness in the matter of low prices, 2,000 copies oi his edi- tion of the GRAPHIC containing his advertisement will be distiibuted throughout the city with his con- plilnents. 1t is needless to say that Mr. Britain would not make this bold step unless he was prepared to meet the world in cOmpctition. The merchant who advertises is not afraid of competition; it is the fellow who don't that is. The public should therefore understand that the best bargains can be secured of merchants who ar not afraid to put their prices in competeti0n with the worl l.
 Head Mir. Brittaia's ad and you will be all the better prepared for intelligent and economical shopping Monday and Tuesday.

PROF. HlNEMoN.
Urged by an Exchange for the Presidency
 of Galloway College.

or Galloway College. ! 'The Board of Trustees of Gallo way College are now looking around fer a suitable president for that insti- tuition. The selection made for this important position will have all to dc with the future success of this pride of Arkansas Methodistn. It seems to us that the exi-ency needs man gifted with sound busi- ness judgment and executive capac- ity, who is at the same time d scholar and q successful school man. We could never see why he pra siden- cy of our church female colleges should be naonopolized by Ire clergy. In fact we believe that experience teaches that as rule the laymen of the church make q better financial success of these institutions than the clergy
 If the Board of Trustees of Gallo way College can induce Supt. ]. H. Hinemon. Of the Pibe Bluff city schools, to accept the presidency of that institution, we believe that in ii very short time the college would be rescued from tfe slough of finan- clal despondency i'll which it is now houndsring, and placed on the high way to increased usefulness and prosperity"
 The above deserved compliment to Prof. Hihemon is from the Monti- cellonian, published at Monticello, Ark, where Prof. Hinemon former ly lived and where the Hinemon University, which bears his name, is located.
 Prof. Hinemon is amply qualified for the presidency of Galloway, or aas other college, and i- sufficiently possessed of business energy to pull. that educational institution out oi the dough Of aeFponf 7
 But Prof. Hinemon, as superin- tendent of the Pine Bluff public schools, k already at the head of one of tine leading edncationa g4sii- tntions Of the State, and has 70 sie- sire or intention, so far as we are adviseT, oi giving up his job.

KEEP SQUARE,
The Worlds Most Colossal Conner cial Transactions Deducted
 On Cash Basis.

There is one sure way to always keep square with the world, and that is never go in debt.
 This proposition may seem absurd in it's simpleness, but it contains q great truth. It is common to say that the worlds business transac- tions cannot be carried on. without colossal credit operations. Ii you will consider q moment you will per ceive that the worlds greatest and far-reaching commercial operations are conducted on 8 strictly cash basis. For instance when you go to the post office to buy dollars wo, tn of stamps, do you ever ask Uncle Sam to charge it and send the bill to you? Does any government ever do a credit business in postage stamps? Again, when you enter q railway office to buy ticket for the next town do you ask the ticket agent to give you the ticket and let you ride on it and you will pay him next week or next month or next year? When you travel to Europe, do you engage your steamer passage on credit and tell the company you will pay next year? Or when man ships carload of freight across the country does the railway company transport the freight on credit and tell him he may pay six months after date? No, indeed, not ans of these things. Yet the postoffice stamp transactions, the freight and pas senger carrying industry, involve the largest financial operations in tile business world of every land. If cash business is possible in these greatest of all financial transactions it is possible every privateindividual in every country and at all times.
