INAUGURAL ADDRESS
.$.j*.3
OF MAYOR w. POPE. OF
PINEBLUFF. NO.

In all matters where the public in
terest is at stake it should be our aim
to secure the greatest good and do the
least harm, and if persons shall feel
aggrieved at such official action it
would seem that they have not prop
er conception of their duties as citi-
zens. 1t is impossible to run this
town successfully and keep in the old
ruts. We are in competition with
other towns which are up to date,
alive, progressive, public spirited,
enterprising, ever on the alert to
meet the wants of their people; and
just SO far as we fail in any of these
important requisites we are losing
vantage ground.
| believe no person is more adj
equately impressed with these truths
than the gentleman whose mind,
heart and soul is enlisted in the i'm
provement of this town, who is iden-
titled with all of it's interests, study
ing its defects, deploring its failures,
beset with obstacles on every hand,
hoping at times against hope, but
never for once losing sight of his high
ideal; always keenly appreciative of
every proffered word Of sympathy;
looking to you and me for co-workers
anticipating chat the time may come
when we shall stand as a unit in
laboring to make this one of the mod
Ell towns of the south. Friends, this
is the situation l present to you,
Omitted we stand, divided we fall. .
In driving a comparison between
the climate of Southern California and
Pinebluff he alluded to a city that he
visited on the Pacific Coast at time
when there was great boom in real
estate. Its streets were knee deep in
mud, its water compound of all that
was miserable alike to taste and
health, it's residences filled with
thousands of invalids from thu north
who were dying like sheep led to be
slaughtered. For six continuous
weeks during April and May scarcely
a ray Of sunlight penetrated the fog,
the weather at its best unfit for any
one to live in with tendency to pull
monary trouble; and yet, under these
adverse circumstances, few enter
prisirg men had worked up one of
the most successful booms in real es-
tate that ever took place on this con-
tinent. Contrast this with the eli
mate of Pinebluff, a climate that we
may extol without limit, and yet keep
within the bounds of truth, with a
water supply that hardly has its par
allel, with sanitary conditions so per
feet that we may challenge any other
health resort to match them; with
natural system of drainage that meets
every requirement.; and what is lack
mo- tO make thic one Of the 1aadinp !
health resorts of the south? Is it
but proper spirit of coop
Grafton on our part, the exhibition of
a hearty desire to bring out all the
good points in our municipality?
Let us adopt the motto of the Swiss
Confederacy, Zone for all and all for
one."

New York. Sept. 1.-Two vessels which
came through the storm that swept over
the Gulf OF Mexico on Saturday reached
port to-day. They were the Morgan Line
steamship Eldorado and the tramp steam
ship Salamanca, owned by McColdin Bros. OF
this city.
Captain Baker OF the EIdorado said that
he sailed from New Orleans early on the
morning of Wednesday last. There was q
fresh northeast wind and a dark sky line
with heavy clouds. Next morning the wind
increased TO a gale and in the afternoon TO
hurricane.
The sea had meantime been whipped up
and the waves were sweeping the decks. "It
was evident" said Captain Baker, from
the reading OF the glass that was running
into the storm and therefore / headed the
vessel up into the wind and seas and lay to-
Just keeping up steerage way. We lay that
way until O'Clock that evening. Mean
time the ocean climbed higher and higher

The criminals were stealing anything

was pushed up to 80 cents a pound. bread %
