No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of. The stomach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- ach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every organ. In some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; iii others the bowels arc const pated, with headaches; still others a troub ed

 In conversation with Graphic reporter today, Mr. P. P. Byrd, the newly elected President, said:
 Il have been a citizen of Pine Bluff for the past fifteen years and have watched with interest its solid gro 0th from a village Of few thousand, to a modern city of nearly 10000 population, and have idertif- cd myself with numerous enterprises Iao king to the upbuIding of the lame The facilities Tor several Neafs for handling the chief produc- tiOn Of this immediate section. W hlch is cotton, were meagre, indeed; but with the growth of our city, which yearly expands, has increased four fuid
 Realizing at thlH time the necea- sity oi better facilities for handling our yearly increased receipts Of cot ton, and at the same time wishing aRain to add all can to the growth and interest of the city, have asSoci- ated myself with other enterprising citizens, whose ambitions are to see Pine Bluff recognized as what she justly deserves. "tke leading cotton market ill the State" have formed q compress company to be known aS the "pine Bluff Compress company" with the inten tion of doing legiti- mate compress business for their mutual benefit. and not antagonis- tic tn the one now in existence, be- lieYlng that instead concentrating here 75,G90 t0 90 090 baIes of cotton we should receive from l25,00 to l90, ,- 000 iu il lew years and one com pres x is inadequate for the business.
 We wish in this enterprise the good will of every citizen and hope that ou efforts will be appreciated by those who desire to see any en- terprise leading to the upbuilding of our city, giving employment to and drawing more citizens here.
 "There Is no city in the State re ceiving as much cotton as CUTS, which has not from two to four congresses, and it is our opinion that others will soon be needed.
 Not many years ago this city only received about 10000 bales of cotton, and had only one compress, and after the Standard Compress with more and better facilities was erected, we have received as high as 90,O00 bales in 8 past season. The same experience applies to nearly every city in the State, and more so to those so favorably located as Pine Bluff.

ARKANSAS FED ON ALUM.
The Harmful Drug Concealed in
 Baking Powders.

Recent investigation shows that the stores are largely stocked with baking powders which contain alum, the injurious ingredient which the Iowa and Minnesota State Boards of Health have so strongly condemn- ed. Englar q. Germany and France have laws prohibiting the use of alum in bread, and the States of Minnesota and Wisconsion forbid baking powder containing alum to be put upon the market unless the words this baking powder contains alum are printed upon the label of every package offered for sale. This is the danger signal which the law throws out for the protection of the people. Yet many of the makers of alum baking powders, such as tho Calumet, while keeping awayf from Minnesota and Wisconsin, have the effrontery to offer their condemned powders to consumers here. These alum powders are frequently labeled pure, best in the world. 7 none so good" or with some other equal ly misleading catch phrase,

SOUTHERN oLEANINGs
Cotton is Again King.

Cnce more the south is getting upon
Its feet. The advance in cotton means
millions more dollars in the pockets
of the farmers than they received last
year Those who have their cribs and
smokehouses full to overlooking this
year will obtain large profit from
their surplus crop, No cotton will be
sold this year below the cost Of pro
duction Cotton is once more king,
There are more cotton mills in the
world than there were year ago, and
the demand for cotton goods is in
crcasing. 1t is doubtful if the present
cotton crop will be sufficient to meet
the wants of the spinners. Mr. T. e.
Robertson, South Carolina expert in
all matters relating to cotton, says
that a reasonable estimate Of this
years crop is 9lS00O0 bales, and that
0.50O000 bales is an outside estimate
Of the yield.
