TO him an ultimatum to the effect
that if he did not pay up in a day or

HOW TO CAPTURE IT
SUGGESTION AS TO HOW PINE
o,uFF MAY WIN FIRST PRIZE
ON COTTON.
M, w. o. Atwood Of New Edinburg
Has Plan Which He Says
Will Win.
RE GOOD FOR PINE BLcFF

w D. Atwood the correspondent CT
the Griphic at New Eninburs. sus-
eests a scheme for Arkansas 70 CAP
ture the first prize on cotton at the
ST Louis worlds fair, and the scheme
meets the approval Of many.
Mr.. Atwood proposes that the farm
ers in this section of the state gather
the best of the long staple cotton
which grows in the territory close TO
Pine Bluff ard divide this cotton in
the seed among number Of ladies
whose duty it will be to carefully pick
ont all the stains and blemishes. Then
have the cotton carefully ginnel and
Oacked and send the bale to the
worlds far. where ii should be en-
tered in the competition. Mr.. Atwood
thinks this would capture the prize
and make Arkansas and Pine ZBlufE
famous at the fair. 1t is we'll known
that Jefferson county produces the
finest cotton III the world and if prop
erly handled can capture first priz =
at St. Louis.
Mr.. Atwood. With short staple cot
ton, for two years captured the first
prize at the Fordyce fair. and secured
a fancy price for tho cotton
Before packing this bale. says Mr..
Atwood. "haye each lady that helped
clean the cotton, write short article
and put all these into one large enyel=
opc and place it in the center of the
bale and some day you will hear some
thing nice from this cotton-maybe
from Europe"

OF the finding of the body of one Of
those who were drowned in sight of
Sycamore Hill while on carousal,
brought lesson to all the population
OF this ordinarily tranquil town.
The negroes, it now appears, were
treated with very little liberation in
the Presidents home town. 1t is well
understood by the residents of Oyster
hay that these negro picnics are
held here because of President Roose-
Veits unprecedented act in inviting a
negro to dine with him at the White
rouse. The Negro Business Mems

Arkansas Fruit Gets Grand Prize.

The Jury of awards in the horti-
culture department of the worlds
fair has awarded to Arkansas one
grand prize for her fruits and one
special gold medal for being the only
state having its fruit display com
pletely installed on the opening day
of the fair Eight other gold medals,
forty seven medals and l5l bronze
medals are awarded TO Arkansas fruit
raisers. Arkansas apples have at
tracted worldwide attention, and it is
generally conceded that the state has
been better advertised than any other
exhibiting at the fair. This is caused
by the variety, abundance and quality
of Arkansas fruits. While Arkansas
has beat the world on big apples, it
has also won laureIs on apples which
are unexcelled for eating
Senator John p. Logan, who had
charge of the Arkansas horticultural
exhibit, says;
"The awards have been made in
the horticultural department, and Ar
kansas captured 209 medals, She
wins a grand prize on her fruit and
eight gold medals, forty-seven silver
medals and 151 bronze medals, Be-
sides this, special gold medal for
merit was awarded to me- as superin-
tendent. have not seen the awards
to other states, but my understanding
is that Arkansas is the only state win
ming a grand prize on fruit Some
others win grand prize, but II is on
installation--that is to say, on the
elaborate furniture and furnishings in
general"
