COTTON MILL PROPOSITION

The Graphic does not know what
there may really be III the proposition
OF Mr.. J. D. Kennedy, of Mammoth
Spring, to erect a cotton mill at Pine
Bluff, but it does know that nc indus
fry could be secured which would
add greater to the material prGsperi-
" of the city than a cotton mill.
Pine Bluff is situated in the greatest
cotton growing county in the United
States, and all the raw material nee1'
ID is to be had right here. Cotton
mills in the East and North are Very
profitable investments. though a long
distance from the base of supplies,
hence there can be no doubt bu- that
they are more profitable in the cotton
belt than in the North and East Many
Of the eastern and northern mill owe
ears realize this fact and they have i'll

the greatest drawback which Pine
Bluff has to contend with, but the rap
id development of the coal mining
business in Arkansas is going to place
the cities of this state on an equal
footing with other coal states in the
matter of fuel, and then no state in the
Union will be more favorably situated
FOR profitable investment in the manu-
facture of cotton goods.
1t is the extreme low price Of fuel
in the North and East and its exec ed
ing high price in the South tha1 has
had much to do with the continued
location of cotton mills outside the
cotton growing states, but as the de-
veiopment of the fuel supply in the
South in recent years has lessened the
cost of operating manufacturing
plants. cotton mills have begun to
spring UP and as the raw material can

Fishing For Ducks.

Ia India an Ingenious scheme is prac-

is attached at one end to a flexible stick

bone attached to it. The latter is bait
ed by stringing upon it some grains of
corn Presently along comes Mr.. Duck,
swallows the needle and finds himself
captive the moment he tries to fly
away. In olden times the Cape Cod
fishermen depended largely for bait up
on the seafowl they took on their voy-
ages. To catch them they threw out
fishing lines with hooks on the end. TO
which were attached chunks Of cod

OLD IDEAS ABOUT GEMS.
Pearls Were Thought to Be Dew
drops Caught by the She'll.

The Indians called rock crystal an
"unripe diamond" and until the begin
ming of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. 1t was
not, therefore, until the discovery Of
India that the diamond was known to
us. Yet as far back as 500 B. C. a
"didactic history" Of precious stones
was written, and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, as he
wrote, Eve drink out of mass of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeralds." We are also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
spectacles made Of emeralds.
But is very difficult to determine
whence all the gems came, as discov-
erers took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded in them were
afraid Of their whereabouts being
known, and even the most ancient mer-
chants would not disclose any definite
locale. All sorts of myths have ac-
cordingly sprung up concerning the
origin Of gems. Diamond" was the
name given to youth who was turned
into the hardest and most brilliant of
substances to preserve him from 'the
ills that flesh is heir to-" Amethyst
was beautiful nymph beloved by
Bacchus, but saved from him by Di.
ana. who changed Amethyst into a
gem, whereupon Bacchus turned the
gem into wine color and endowed the
wearer with the gift of preservation

The opponents of the oleomargarin,

Senate put in so many amendment,
that it is virtually new bill and un

to conference except by unanimous

favorable report. as it will, the bill
must go on the calendar ana await its
turn. Ninety nine per cent of the bills
that die expire while waiting their
turn for consideration. 1t is upon this
fact that the opponents of the bill base
their belief that they have defeated it.
