SUNDAY BASEBALL,
Never Any Intention to Have ANY of
it i'm Pine Bluff,

There has been a considerable
amount of silly twaddle printed r.
Gently by a local paper about SUNDAY
baseball in Pine Bluff during the
coming baseball season. Preachers
We're interviewed with reference to
he matter as if there was going to br
game or two on every Sabbath the
whole spring and summer. The print,
ing OF the interviews were
rldicul0us i'll view of the
fact that the laws of Arkansas
prohibit Sunday baseball. As one
preacher who was interviewed said
10 the Graphic
i can't understand why a newspap
or should desire to know whether |
and the laws of my church are opposed
10 Sunday baseball. | am in favor OF
an enforcement of all the laws of the
state and so are the laws governing
my church,.
Ihe preacher stated the situation eX-
actly so far as the churches are con-
ccrnod. Tie Graphic would as soon
think of having the preachers inter
viewed ON the question of whether or
not they are opposed to the enforce
ment Of the statute against murder
Every laWabiding citiZen-and no man
is a good citizen who is not law-abid
ing--desireS to see the laws of the
state enforced. There may be laws
which the masses do not approve. but
the great majority want to see such
laws enforced, as it is the quickest
way to bring about the repeal of laws
which do not meet the approval of the
people.
Judge A. B. Grace, president of the
local baseball club. is the judge of this
judicial circuit and it is not only his
duty not to lend his aid to Sunday
baseball but it is his duty to see that

cat and other varieties Of good food

five pounds Of spawn daily The fish
ernen say that the bill will certainly
defeat the intentions OF the lawmakers
10 protect the game fish.
Another bill which has been intro
0Ueed il the legislature is that te
license the fishing business. and the
a livelihood say that they are heartily
in favor of it. They say a license
fee of SO a year would shut out many
of the pilfering fishermen who in
fest every river and who are pretend
edly engaged in the fishing business,
but whose real business is stealing a
living from people who live along the
river. They are for this last named
measure. but are strong against the
first mentioned, because they say it
would not only be detriment to the
game fish, but would work hardship
on many poor people who at present
buy fish at five cents a pound as a
meat food cheaper than pork and
beef at the present prices. They
say it would also affect the hotels and
restaurants, and the dealers in sport
ing goods, such as fishing tackle, nets,
etc.

New Road for Western Arkansas.

Western Arkansas is to have new
fifty-mile1ong railroad through the
coal and mineral country just east of
Fort Smith, says the Little Rock Ga
zette. It's name will be the Arkansas
Coal and Mineral Railroad copany.
The new line will serve as a connecting
cross country link between the two
branches of the Iron Mountain and one
of the Choctaw and one of the Ar
kansas Central, all of which enter Fort
Smith from the east. The capital stock
of the road is $3.50, 900, which is esti-
mated to be the cost of grading, lay
ing track and buying rolling stock.
All the capital stock has been sub
scribed. Most of the stockholders live
in Huntington, Sebastian county,
through which the road will pass as
already does a branch Of the Frisco.

Confusion as to Street Numbering

There seems to be some confusion
on the part of the people as to the
house numbering ordered by the city,
and the price to be charged by Mr..
Buckner. who has been appointed by
the city to see to the numbering Of
the houses The confusion seems to
arise because of failure on the part
of many to distinguish the difference
between figures and numbers. A fig
ure is a single character, and mum.
