and fighter with more gameness about him the writer has never seen. He never becomes angry when he receives a hard blow and never gets rattled. In hard fought battle ia this city several months ago, he put Kid Lane, the Chicago boy, to sleep in thirteen rounds and it was several hours be- fore he could be brought to.
 Green, when be knocked Evans out the other night, put up good fight and guarded himself perfectly. Three blows on the jaw put Evans down. He made a number of un- successful attempts to rise, but was counted out. Just as the refree said ''1O" he jumped to his feet and was ready to scontinue the battle. He was dazed, but not knocked out.
 Now his friends, packers and t, diners claim that the referee counted the seconds too fast and did not give them square deal. The decision, however, seemed to please the audience and it was the general opinion that Evans had been fairly whipped. Another bout has been arranged between the two men. The fight will b. for the gate receipts and $500 side. It will be fought at Hot Springs on the even ing of September 3d, and many Pine Bluff sports will witness the go' George Coleman and John Mullens of this city are backing Green and several wealthy colored citizens o' Hot Springs will ''put up" for Evans.

 and Work on the Chain Gang.

There were two smooth guys in the police court this morning.
 They gave their names and resi- deaces to be as follows: Will Davis, St. Louis, Mo, and J. L. Carson, Rison, Cleveland county.
 They were arrested by Night Watchman W. s. McCord near the Bluff City mill in the western part of the city Thursday night. The cause of their arrest is as follows:
 A young man named Hammond, of this city, while waiting for a train at the crossing Thursday night, fell asleep. Carson and Da, wis were also waiting to take the train in that part of town. While walking about to while the time away they ran upon the sleeping form of Hammond and their first idea seemed to rob him. They riHed his pockets and secured bis pocket book containing 55 cents and Bar low knife. When Hammond awoke he felt for his small possessions but found them gone. He looked around and saw Davis and Carson seated on the platform nearby and immediate ly suspicioned that they were the thieves. He reported the matter to Night Watchman McCord, who placed them under arrest and tele- phoned for the police.
 Ia the police court this morning both of the men plead guilty to the charge of petit larceny. Davis was fined s75 and Carson $50. They were unable to pay their fines and will be placed on the chain gang in a few days to improve our thorough fares.

H let crippled nego beat him out of
half dollar in a game of craps. He
paid fakir 50 for 10 cent brass
ring which he gave to his wife for a
birthday present. He had few
bushels of wheat which he sold for
Scots, for the reason that it had gone
up in market. He paid cents too
much yard on calico because he
had not kept posted on the price of
such goods. He spent most of the
day looking for bargains trying 20
beat all he traded with, but he got
the worst Of it because he was not
posted. When he got ready to start
home he wiped his nose on the avn

COxey's Good Road Scheme Will be
Revived In 1904.

Coxey's Good Road Scheme Will be
Revived In 1904.
General Coxey and his good road
scheme did not, as was asserted,
Idle bornin." That his plan was
launched too soon, or his method of
introducing the idea was not suited
to the times, is now evident.
To. day a million whellman are
clamoring for good roads, and they
would willingly support any party
that would propose to have the gen
eral government do just what COXey
proposed.
The wheelmen have recently been
greatly strengthened by the advent
of the automobile. 1t has passed the
experimental stage, and not only the
manufacturers of the "HOrseless
Carriage" are ready to unite with tho
wheelmen, but the users are quite as
pronounced in favor of high grade
roads as are the manufacturers and
wheelmen.
Not later than 1904 good roads will
have a place in the platforms of the
great political parties. The younger
generation will be reminded that the
lieved so firmly in good roads that
the National Government actually
built national road to open up the
great West, and we will be informed,
and truthfully so, that the Father of
our Country and the immortal Jeffer
son gave their influence toward hav-
ing our Government appropriate
moneys for public road construction.
The National Government will be
asked to make an appropriation
yearly of at least one dollar per CAPT
ia, this amount to be supplemented
by similar appropriation by the
States, and in each county there will
be an engineer to open new roads, or
rebuild old ones on grade and suf-
ficiently wide so that trolly cars can
be operated on them without inter-
fering with public travel.
Trolly roads will be carriers of
mail, of express and freight, and
thus there will be arrayed a vast
capitalization in favor of good roads.
Take New Jersey as an example.
She will have about two million in
habitants when the next census is
taken. Four millions yearly for
