Is a Lead Pencil Worth More Than a

W. NNH y

The supervision of every store
should extend to the books.
Tho simplest is always tho best
method Of expression. Why use a
pen, penholder, ink and erasers, when
q pencil with a rubber on the end will
supply all demands better, cheaper
and with less labor.
Is there any good reason why a re-
tail merchant should not keep his
books in lead pencil2 One of Chlcg
go's largest wholesale houses does.
If pencil is used then the books
used can be Of cheaper paper and cor
respondingly less expensive. There
fore, / think a retail merchants books
should be kept with a hard lead or
indelible pencil.
It is easier, cleaner, takes less time
and makes the correction of errors
quicker and easier. Ink is no safe
guard against errors or dishonesty. A
man can falsify and steal as easily
through ink as through pencil.
Bookkeeping is only memorandum
work anyhow. Make it as simple and
Easy as possible. Don't waste profit
in ink. 1t is the little leaks that eat
up the profits. Unnecessary labor is
a leak. Expensive paper in books is
wasteful. l believe in cheap paper
and pencils, bright boys and girls
who "a add and subtract, and good
common ems business judgment to
tell them how to put the figures down
so they will add up something to
show the movement of the business.

FRIGHTENED NEGROES
 LEAVING PINE BLUFF.
Trains Leaving Pine Bluff Will Not Accommodate Crowds From Panic Stricken City Whose Destruc-
 ton Has Been Foretold.

Pine Bluff, May 27.-It is hardly possible that any city in the United States occupies as unique position as does Pine Bluff just now. The fear of the wind and flood, which anegress has predicted will destroy Pine Bluff next Friday, is still on, and the exodus of negroes is marvellous. The capacity of the passenger coaches is not suffi cient for them, and this morning sev- eral hundred negroes were left on the platform of the Valley station, unable to take the train.
 It is estimated that not less than 5000 have departed, and tomorrow will witness the largest exodus to be chronicled since the fright has come upon them. One of the railway ticket offices exhausted it's supply of tickets to a nearby station, so great was the rush. It is probable that an additional supply of cars will be ordered for to- morrow.
 The railroads are not the only means used as a vehicle of departure. For the past five days on every country road leading out of Pine Bluff could be seen numerous wagons laden with furniture and frightened people. The fear is not confined to the colored race, and many superstitious whites have departed also.
 Quite a number of manufacturing plants have been compelled to close; and others will close tomorrow.
