They are selling the best -four in SOC

Ball Team Next To Arrive

Joseph w. Hennager, the Cotton
States league baseball player, who will
play with Pine Bluff next season, ar
rived in the city last Saturday night,
and is a guest of the Trulock hotel.
Hennager came here to accept cleri-
cal position at the Cotton Belt depot,
and will probably remain here until
the opening of the baseball season.
He Ia the first OF Pine Bluffs team to
arrive and his coming has re-doubled
interest in the national game which
gives promise Of being reviewed hero
next summer with great success. Hen,
nager will hold down second base for
Pine Bluff next season. He is reputed
to be a wonder In his line, and has
played in . number Of the best leagues
in the country, including the Nation
al, Southern. Western, Pacific, Three
Is, Virginia and Cotton States leagues.
Last year he was with Pittsburg.
where he was considered one Of the
mainstays Of the team. While Black.
burn managed a rival team-Natchez
-Hennager's work on the Vicksburg
team was so appreciated by Black
burn that the latter negotiated for his
services and by offering more money
signed him. In the same way Black
burn acquired Guy Sample. Vicksburg's

THE RETAIL GROCERS
Go After the Packers for Selling to
the Consumers

It develops that the visit Of the Lit
tie Rock grocers to Pine Bluff recently
was not occasioned solely for the pur-
pose of mingling with the local grocers
in a sociaa way, but that they were
especiallys invited by the local associa-
ton. The local grocers desired to
benefit by recent experience of the
Little Rock grOcers association on a
matter which is now giving the local
grocers trouble, and which the Little
Rock grocers had to contend with and
finally fight it out of existence.
The grocers here claim that the
local packing houses, Nelson Morris
and Armour, are making inroads into
their retail trade by selling packing
house products direct to the consUm
ers. One of them, they say, is selling
eggs and potatoes to the consumers
also.
Some time ago previous to the visit
of thak Little Rock grocers here, the
Pine IGlf Retail Grocers' associa-
ton, at a meeting, discussed the mat
/ ter and decided to appoint commit
/ tee to call upon the packers and to re
quest them to desist in the future from
selling to consumers. According to the
grocers' association 10 definite prom.
fises were secured from the packers,
! one Of them, for instance, saying that
desired to take the matter up
SWith the head office.
The local grocefs were informed OF
Athe success the Little Rock retailers
Ahad on a similar proposition and de-
Xcided to invite them to visit Pine
SBluff. There similar conditions at one
fime prevailed, but the grocers one
evening got together and declared a
#koycot against the packers. When the
9s5atters representatives called for or
Fders the next morning they were all
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1902-11-17

given cold deal hy TIE grocers. BY
putting on a stiff front in this mat
ter the packers came to terms forth
with, and abandoned the practice of
selling to consumers direct. When the
Little Rock grOcers arrived here the
matter was fully discussed with them.
The discussion resulted in the appoint
ment of another committee to wait on
the packers and again request them
to desist from selling to consumers.
What the committee has accomplished
is not known. but if the packers don
accetle to the retailers request the Lit
tie Rock plan will be adopted. That
they state officially.
\ Graphic representative called on
the packers this afternoon, and accord
ing 10 them, the statement is being
generally made to the effect that they
sold consumers as well as retailers
Was scored at. although the Armour
I0mpany's manager did admit that he
Aad been selling TO the Hotel Ffu-
lock, but said that the smaller reatau-
rants were not his customers. He de-
MED selling to consumers in general.
as did Manager Miller. of the Nelson
Morris plant. who said that he had
never sold to the consumers, except
the hotels and restaurants and that he
had shut them off several weeks ago
at the request of the local grocers.
On the other hand Secretary Senate
Seabreok, ef the Retail GroceHs as
sociation, says that some bright morn
ing in the near future the packers
will wake up and find that the grocers
will refuse to do business with them.
until what they contend is an evil
is abated.
While the "spiels' of the packers
sound convincing they have not, evi.
dently, convinced Secretary Sea

of a recent visit to Little Rock Sewart
saw him there also, engaged in the
same work. Then and there the off,
Ger decided that he was crooked and
determined to arrest him if he was
seen in Pine Bluff any more. Stewart
saw him this morning still soliciting
and arrested him.
A negro preacher, who was in the
city, was seen by the officer and it was
learned from him that no church at
Altheimer had been destroyed my
fire, which convinced Stewart that
Dupree was fraud, pure and simple.
