insurance men are much stirred
up over the condition of affairs in
the state of Arkansas. The reports
seem to indicate that the situation
could be vastly improved upon to say
the least. These reports date back
almost from the passage of the anti
compact law it is stated. and there is
considerable evidence that the things
are getting worse The Little Rock
general agencies come in for a large
share of the criticism The follow
ing is from this weeks issue of the

the latter instance the step is not

is written less the % per cent. and

invariable reply is that it was rem

BLACKBURN TOr1ORROW
Has Secured a Third BaSeman for
Local Team---Ball News

A telegram was received here today
from George w. Blackburn, manager of
Pine Bluffs Cotton States league team
for next season. stating that he ex-
poets to be here Wednesday. He is
now at Vicksburg, but has been in
Chicago, where he secured the agree
ment of a first-class third baseman
to sign with Pine Bluff.
An impression is prevalent that
Blackburn is very unpopular in Match
ez, for whom he and his excellent
team won the Cotton Ctates leaugue
pennant last season and that he is
not the right man for the place. This
is dispelled to large extent by a
letter received by Secretary Simon
Bloom from MIR. James Marks, a Former
wholesale merchants of NatcheZ. MIR.
Marks writes:
Simon Bloom, Esq, Pine Bluff,
Ark.-Dear Friend: This will intro
duce to you Mr.. George Blackburn, a
personal friend of mine. He had
charge of the Natchez baseball team
last season and left only for reasons
known to himself. All | can say OF
him is that during his stay here he
conducted himself and everything
about him in a gentlemanly way.

This will not be the end of the in
