liberal, man taking up a homestead

NATIONAL GOOD ROADS NOVE-
 MENT,

With the coming of the summer season, the department of agr!- culture Is again busy on what per haps is one of the most important phases of American development, namely the good roads movement This is a matter that should keenly interest every citizen of the Unit ed States, for it is the thing in which this country is the most back ward of any civilized power on the globe, and it is one of the things that will do more than any thing else to foster rural development, bring the farmer and the townsman close together and make the coun- try the most desirable quarter to live in. Of course, the department cannot go out and build roads all over the country, but it has a we'll equipped fovce of experts and is ready and able to furnish the best scientific advice on road building for nothing to any community that wants it. The department even goes farther and puts down mile or so of road as an object lesson wher- ever it can and the manufacturers of road machinery furnish the machinery free for these demonstra- tion stretches of road. Scientific road building is one of the best in- vestments of time and money that any community can make, and it would be good thing if every county in the country would apply 1 to the secretary of agriculture dur
 ing the present season for such aid as the general government can and
 will give in starting the good road
 movement

NOT AS BAD
 AS REPORTED
Reports of Cotton Belt Dismissals Greatly Exaggerated-Only Tn-
 skilled Labor Discharged.

The report relative to the dismissal of some one hundred men from the service of the Cotton Belt Railway at the shops in this city have been very greatly exaggerated. While the re- port is true as to the number of men, the Graphic learns that they were mostly negroes and unskilled labor whose wages would not average over $1.50 each per day, and that their discharge will make no serious de- crease in the company's monthly pay
 "The people of Pine Bluff should remember said Cotton Belt em- ploye in talking to Graphic report CT, that the completion of the car shops at this place and other im- provements have very greatly in creased the aggregate pay roll of the Cotton Belt Railway Company at this place. Notwithstanding the laying off of these men," he continued, "the monthly pay roll of the company will be greater here this summer than it has ever been before, and the aggre- gate is constantly increasing

The wrecker went from this city yesterday afternoon and cleared the track and by night the trains were running regularly again.
