THE NEW
 CITY DIRECTORY
The Adams Printing Co. Sells It's In- tereSts and Contracts to Folks
 Southern Directory Co.

About month ago the Adams Printing company announced that it would start to work on a new city directory of Pine Bluff to be volume No. 5. About two weeks later Folks Southern Directory company put a representative in the field for the same purpose. It, therefore, became evident to the promoters of the enterprise that both could not succeed, and after a weeks negotiations, the Adams Printing company has disposed of it's contracts and interests to Folks Southern Directory company.
 Folks Southern Directory con- pany are directory publishers of long standing, and are publishers of the Arkansas State Gazateer and numerous other state and city directories. This company is now organizing circuit of Arkansas cities and already have ill press city directories of Fort Smith and Little Rock. Their next field of la bor will be Pine Bluff and Texar- kama. After an investigation of this firm, The Graphic is prepared to state that Folks Southern Di- rectory company is responsible firm and thoroughly competent for the work
 The Aoams Printing company, in retiring from the field, takes this method of thanking the Pine Bluff public for the patronage &C., corded it's last two citS directories and assures our people that the standard of excellence established by this company will be fully sus- tained, if not improved upon, by the new publishers

self Wearily in a chair, and eyDresseu her feelings by saying, "There's two things I 'spise; Sunday and dyin'."
 The workingman is limited to only one day in the week for rest and recreation, and he cannot afford to be too strict sabbatarian The view point from which some of the biblical commands are observed reveals a very different perspective from different points of observation. There was sev- eral years ago in this city, minister. a most excellent man-peace to his ashes-wbo thought all church mat ters should be viewed through his glasses. In one of his sermons he de- livered quite severe rebuke to the congregation for not rising early on Sunda ymorning and attending Sun day school, sayig that he arose ear Her Sunday than any other morning.
 Now, as matter of fact, bis hour for rising was anywhere from seven to eight o'clock, while some of the peo- pie he was scolding had to be at their places of business and at work at $ o'clock in the morning, and remained there-at that time-until nine o'clock at night, and on Saturday night until eleven o'clock. Sunday morning, therefore, was tbe only morning in the week they could sleep late. Let the laboring man be unhindered in spending Sunday as he sees fit, as a day of rest and innocent recreation.

Fort Smith Will Be the Meeting Place of the Ar kansaw Travellers Next
 Year-By Reclamation.
PINE BLUFF LIBERAL
". F. Lindsey, of This City, Elected First Vice President-Pine Bluff Delegation Will Arrive Home This Morning. x.

Eureka Springs, Ark, June s. Especial to Graphic. )-Pine Bluff lost out today in it's fight for the 1908 convention of the Arkansaw Travellers. Fort Smith, with the assistance of Little Rock which had, no chance to win, was selected as the next place of gathering by exclamation.
 The Pine Bluff delegation was not to blame. They worked like beavers for the Jefferson county metropolis from the time they ar- rived Thursday, till the last speech was made in the convention hall too much Fort Smith. That tells the story although it was clearly evident that Little Rock in her usual jealous manner figured prom inently in taking the Travellers to the Border City next year.
 When the Pine Bluff delegation, Hfter working continuously to land Wbe meeting, saw that it was useless effort, they joined with the convention in a body and voted for Fort Smith, With the banners of Pine Bluff and Fort Smith waving together the delegations from the two cities paraded through the convention hall amid deafening cheers. The scene was one of the most inspiring ever wit messed at meeting of the Trav- elers in this state. It was fit ting tribute to the patriotism of Pine Bluff when her delegation joined with Fort Smith in celebrat- ing victory of the latter. It demonstrated the good feeling that Pine Bluff and it's people always have for her sister cities, although jealousy is often displayed at public gatherings by those from other Arkansas towns.
 The selection of the 1908 meet ing place followed the election of officers. w. P. Lindsey of Pine Bluff, was elected first vice presi- dent. This was the only honor be- slowed on Pine Bluff or it's mem bers during the meeting. Lewis Moore was elected president; liar ry A. Isaacs of Walnut Ridge, sec ond vice president; J. l.. Johnson of Fort Smith, third vice president; w. A. Shaw, fourth vice president; G. c. Gray of Fort Smith, secre- tary. and J. B. Hirsch of Little Rock, treasurer.
 The Pine Bluff delegation left tonight for home on a special train. They departed at 2 o'clock and are scheduled to arrive at their homs town Sunday morning at II o'clock. F. F. McNeny, travelling passenger agent for the Cotton Belt, who came here with the Pine Bluffians and arranged their trip to and rom Eureka Springs, returned home yesterday.

Miss Nellie Lyon, % years old, for one day Mrs. s. A. Crabtree, died at Greenville, Tenn, recently, and her death was a great shock to her friends Tn Pine Bluff, where she lived for many months. In fact, she was resident of Pine Bluff two weeks prior to her mar rage to Reverend s. A. Crabtree, yat Greenville, a few days ago.
 j Miss Lyons was formerly en- ployed as a stenographer by Marsh and Riley here and also held a similar position with the Sawyer fand Austin Lumber company in this city. She made her home at the residence of Mrs. S. D. Phillips, at No. 116 West Sixth avenue.
 Her sudden death was due to a cold contracted on railroad train while travelling from this city to Freenville, where she went to be- come the bride of Reverend Crab- tree. She and Reverend Crabtree were married on the afternoon of Sunday, June 2. At almost the same hour the following day, she passed away Her body was laid to rest beside those of her father and mother in Oak Grove cemetery in Greenville. She was the daugh- ter of D. K. Lyon, now deceased, who, during his lifetime was one of the most prominent citizens of that place.
 Several years ago while visiting at Athens, Tenn, Miss Lyon was in- troduced to MT. Crabtree, who was then a student at Grant University. Later he went to Boston, where, he recently completed theological course, preliminary to entering the ministry. Their acquaintance re- suited in correspondence and an en- gagement was the outcome. An nouncement was made of the wed- ding and it was set for June 1 at Greenville. Reverend Crabtree had only few weeks previous been given his first pastorate in Kan sas and his plan was to take his bride to his new field of labor.
 After her arrival at Greenville from Pine Bluff, Miss Lyon was suffering from the cold which she contracted on the railroad train and owing to her indisposition re- quested that the wedding ceremony be postponed. Reverend Crabtree reached Greenville from Boston on the day previous to the one set for his wedding day and the couple were happily married the following Sunday afternoon. On the following day she was taken suddenly i'll ard died few hours later.
 Miss Lyon has many acQuaint- ances in Pine Bluff, where sue lived for IA months. She was a young lady of many charming traits of character and endearing qualities. News of her untimely death was received by Pine Bluff friends yesterday

COLUMBUS, GA, Sept. %. (Spec-
iaD-One of the most novel educa-
tional institutions in the country is a
school in Columbus, whose students
are confined to dinner carriers. It's
name is the May Tewksbury Mis-
sion, and it has been in successful
operation for a number of years. Re-
Gently a new building for the mis-
sion was erected, and it is preparing
now to prosecute its work on a still
larger scale.
Little boys and little girls who car
ry dinners to their parents, brothers
and sisters in the great cotton mills
are the sole pupils of this unique in
stitution, and the hours Of the
school are arranged for their con-
yenience.
1t is the daily duty of these little
ones to carry meals to their fathers
and other relatives in the manufac-
turing plants at noon, and so the
school gives a recess, a good, long,
sure-enough recess of two hours, to
give them ample opportunity to dis
charge this duty
There are many hundreds of these
dinner carriers, but Of course only a
certain proportion of them are able
to attend the school Recently the
public schools of the city have taken
cognizance of the situation by having
the hours at the industrial schools SO
arranged as to give the little folks
the requisite time to carry dinners to
the factories.

dying wish of q sweet little girl and

memory Of William H. English, who
was the Democratic nominee for vice

Hancock ticket in 1889 The memoir

William H. English at his death
was one of Indiana's wealthiest men.
He belonged to a family of Hoosier
pioneers, his father having located
here in 1918. He was born in Aug
ust, 1922, and was admitted to the bar
before he had reached his majority.
His first political office was as a
member of the Indiana legislature,
serving as speaker IF the house. La
ter he was sent to represent his dis
trict in congress, where he soon be-
came a national figure. He was nom
mated for vice president by the Dem
ocratic national convention in 1880,
and received a popular vote almost as
great as that cast for his Republican
opponent, Chester A. ARTHUR. In the
latter years of his life he abandoned
politics for literature, writing the
famous History of the Conquest of

TRACTION ENGINE
SUPPLANTS MULES
Exhibition Here of Interest to
+ armers.

AS the electric car freed from bon
dage the horse, so is the traction en-
CINE emancipating from drudgery
the plantation mule. Out on the plan
tation of Mr. n A. Ray near Ameri-
Gus there was given Friday a prao-
teal and successful demonstration of
the working of one of the valuable
machines, which is capable of doing
so much work on a farm. This en-
CINE, Case, pulled twelve disc ploWs
with greatest ease and under the
guidance of two men, thus doing the
work of twenty-four mules and twelve
laborers. The plows cut a width of
ten feet, and with this number the
engine can easily plow twenty-five
acres per day. Mr. Ray was we'll
pleased with the trial made of the
engine, and late in October, after cut
ing the hay from a large field in his
farm, he will pillow it with the traction
engine and invite the farmers out to
see it. Already a number of the rep
representative farmers of Sumter
hav expressed a determination of
purchasing one of these labor-saving
machines

ton that has been a haven of hope to
children of the working people of the
city.
A few years ago there lived in Co.
lumbus a little girl named May
Tewksbury. She was a child of
sweet disposition and remarkable
mental qualities for one so young.
The poor people of the city and their
needs were upmost in her thoughts,
and among her dying words was the
longing wish that the material wants
as we'll as the religious welfare of
the poor children of the city could
receive systematic attention.
Shortly afterwards Mrs, S P.
Tewksbury, her mother, established
the May Tewksbury Mission as me-
mortal to her little daughter, and the
institution, which comprises both a
day school and a Sunday school has
been in successful operation ever
since.
Now that Columbus is becoming
such a big manufacturing center,
with the development of the great
water power along the Chattahoochee
river north of the CITY,, it is interest
ing to note that in the general edu-
cational scheme of the community
more and more attention is being
given the needs N the children of
the working people.

ANNIE GOES
HOME TO INDIA
There She Can Be as Occult AS.
She Wishes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28-(SpeciaD-
Mrs. Annie Besant, world president
of the Theosophical society, will con-
clude her American tour with an adj
dress here Sunday, and will sail for
England next week. She expresses
herself as highly pleased with the re-
ception given her by the Theosoph-
lists of America, and declares that she
has been sustained at every point by
the American convention held in Chi
cago recently. From England Mrs.
Besant will proceed almost directly to 70
her home in Adyar, India, where the
worlds convention of the Universal
Brotherhood will be held late this
year. Assurances have been received
by Mrs. Besant that many prominent
followers in the United States will
take part in the India congress.
The cult of which the brilliant Mrs.
Besant is now the head had its origin
in New York thirty-two years ago,
when Nine. H. P. Blavatsky, the fat,
ugly but magnetic Russian woman,
and Col. H. S. Olcott, a highly intel
lectual New York newspaper man
and writer, formed the society which
has since grown to international pro-
portions.
Mrs. Besant, who succeed Colonel
Olcott as world president, is one OF
the most magnetic women in the
world. So cosmopolitan is she, both
in languages and tastes, that she is
equally at home before Oriental
English, French or German audiences.
She has gone far afield since her ear
ly days, when, as the co-Worker of
Charles Bradlaugb, the great free
thinker, she waged war on all forms
of supernatural and revealed religions
and preached the doctrines of atheism
and materalism.
