BASEBALL OUTLOOK PROSPECTS FOR PROFESSIONAL BALL IN PINE BLUFF THIS
 SEASON NOT GOOD.
The Organization of an Al-Arkansas League Is Suggested as the Only
 Solution of Problem,

Prospects for a team to represent Pine Bluff upon the baseball diamond thlS season are at present exceeding o. ly poor, and unless something in the way of organization is done in the near future there may be no games here. Players Of any caliber what ever are being snapped up by the teams in the many leagues and when the season opens there will be few who have not signed contracts.
 Men who are thoroughly conversant with the baseball situation say that the only hope for any kind of a team here is the organization of a league composed of Arkansas towns which are not too far apart. Unless there is something besides the mere wit: messing of the game to attract the in terest of the fans, it soon flags, and the teams expenses are more than the gate receipts. While there are many men in this city with money enough to carry a team all season, they do not think they should be com

COUNTERFEIT
 CHECKS
Cause the SaWyerAustin to Discon-
 tinue Using Them.

Because some one with more in- eenuity than honesty has been coun- terfeiting the pay checks issued by the Sawyer and Austin Lumber com pany, the officials of the company have decided that they will give out no more of the checks This took eff. feet March 1, and hereafter when an employe of the company wishes to procure some of the necessities of life between pay-days, and he has not the necessary coin of the realm 10 buy them at any of the local stores, he will receive an order on the company commissary. WI
 The checks which were formerly given out were made of aluminium, and Were in the denominations of $1, 50 cents and , cents. When an em- ploye became short of funds during the month he could go to the time- keeper and draw several dollars worth of these checks, with which he could purchase goods at the company commissary, or which would be dis counted by almost any store in the city. It is said that several hundred dollars worth of the commercials are in circulation, and the company is los CT thereby

FRUIT THREATENED
REPORT OF WEATHER MAN CAUSES MUCH UNEASINESS
 TO THIS SECTION.
Extreme Cold Spell, Conino Now on Heels of Past Warm Weather
 Would Work Untold Injury.

Arkansas is at tho present time in danger of an utter failure of the fruit crop this season. A few degrees cold CT yesterday and last night and the buds which are now beginning 10 ap- pear on the fruit trees in this section would have been killed. and this years crop ruined. And the danger is not yet averted, even though the sun appeared bright and warm Thurs day, for the weather man scnds forth the report that We may expect colder weather in this section Friday. al- though it is to be fair.
 Few people realize what q loss it would be to the farmers and fruit growers Of the state if the buds now springing out should be frosted. The fruit crop of this state represents hundreds of thousands of dollars an. nually, and in few counties of the state is the most important industry Il is to be hoped that the promised cold wave will be turned aside before il strikes this section of the state. as q failure of the fruit crop after the crop disasters of the past two years would play havoc with the prosperity of the state

pelled to do so for the enjoyment of others.
 It has been suggested that league composed of four teams from this sec tion might be organized, and three games played every week. if the daily games proved too little attraction There are several towns that could support teams, such as Pine Bluff Camden, Hot Springs, Texarkana Brinkley and others that could be mentioned, that could get up good teams, and be formed Into league Players could be selected judicious1y, and a strong team made up without running the salary list into the thous- ands every month. At the same time the schedule could be arranged so that the teams would not have to make long jumps by railroad. and thus the railroad fare. which is one of the most expensive items in the keeping up of a ball team, could be kept down.

Holt is a native of Hampstead county, Arkansas. and he still resides on the farm where his early days were spent. He has been engaged in farming nearly all his life, but has also taught school. having a first grade license to teach, and is familiar with the resources of the state, and the necessary steps to be taken to de- yelopment.
 MT. Holt's public record is confined to the legislatures of 1899 and 1901, in which he represented Howard county. He is the only man who ever succeeded himself from that county winning out the second time by a majority vote over four opposing can didates. He is making the race upon his cwn merits, and he is well and favorably known to a large number of Pine Bluffs citizens. will no doubt be strongly supported in this section
