ceeded. He did say, however, that if
the building was erected within the
appropriation and there was required
additional money for heating and fur
nishing, that could be readily secured.
The result of the conference was that
Congressman Gardner was urged to
move the present plans along to COM
pletion. It was suggested to the Con-
gresham that Bridgeton was entirely
satisfied to have the building planned
for the town and that it would be ap-
preciated more to have the work pro-
ceed at once than to wait for more
money and thus delay the entire
scheme. The Congressman promised
that he would assume that position and
urge Supt. Taylor to at once take up
the work.

DELAY IN THE
PUBLIC BUILDING.

When the preliminary plans were
approved by the Treasury Department
for the Post Office building here, it
was understood that bids for its con-
struction would be advertised for in
April-this month. Nothing happen
ing along that line an investigation
was set on foot, and last week it was
learned that Knox Taylor, the Superin-
tendent of buildings in the department
had held up the constructions Con-
gresham Gardner at once notified peo-
pie here, and Morris Davis, accom-
panied by Contractor Joseph Steelman,
hurriedly visited Washington.
To get the situation before the pub
lie clearly it should be recalled that
Congress appropriated for the public
building enterprise here the sum of
S65, 900. Less than SIS, 1000 of that
amount was expended for the Site
This left about $50, 900 for the build
ing. When Taylor was visited at the
department in Washington he said he
would not attempt to build structure
In Bridgeton for $52, 600. He declared
that he wanted further appropriation
OF S55, 600 or $120, 600 in all before he
would move to erect the building. In
support of his argument he declared
tnat Bridgeton was an important city,
and had post Office that was paying
to the government a splendid profit.
IN addition, Mr.. Taylor said that in
nrldgeton the government had one of
tne prettiest and most commanding
sites possible and that for all of these
reasons the government should give
nrlogeton handsome public building.
ne sad If Congress would appropriate
1ne additional money he would at once
push work here.
Inc plans were carefully gone over
py Mr. Steelman, who insisted that for
$oo, 600 a very handsome and command
ing structure could be erected here.
! ne plans call for brick materials, the
oricks to be anything but red. 1t was
urged upon Mr.. Taylor that such a
building as had been planned would be-
en'lrely satisfactory to Bridgeton.. It
was pointed out that there were no

DIR. J.L. CALDWELL
 IN HE MAYORS RACE

Yielding to the solicitations of his friends, Dr. J. l.. Caldwell, the ener- getid and efficient secretary of the
 PinS Bluff Board of Tradel has an
 nou1eed himself as candidate for
 may6f of the City of Pine Bluff, his
 candidecy being subject to khe action
 of the Democratic prin,aryfto be held
 January 12. In entering {the mayor
 alty race, NDr. Caldwell /does so not through an idea of finahcial gain for
 the position Ia not a<1ucrative one or lis it an office that would ordinarily Iattract man of his efficiency and capability. In placing his name be- fore the people for the consideration,
 Dr. Caldwell is prompted by the great
 interest he has in the welfare and progress of this city. He is regard ed as man of liberal views, wide experience, unusual knowledge of
 municipal affairs and popular con- |servatism. Several years ago he re- tired from the ministry. His retire
 ment was due to purely altruis- tic motives. that he might aid in the |upbuilding of his town. He was elect led secretary of the Pine Bluff Board
 of Trade and during his several years service there has proven himself a
 valuable man to the community in general and the city in particular. He
 is possessed of exceptional business
 ability and having served the unex- pired term of General H. K. White, as
 mayor, he demonstrated that he was
 fully capable of performing the duties
 of that important office. While acting chief executive of the city. as in other
 instances, he showed himself equal to an emergency at a critical moment.
 At the time of the big East End fire
 when the homes of many railroad em- ployese and others were devoured by
 flames and nine blocks of residences were consumed, he called mass meeting of the people of the city at
 the Court house and within few hours raised more than $4,000 for the
 relief of the fire sufferers. During the recent cave-in situation he went to Washington and started move ment in the national capital, which will undoubtedly result in the immedi-
 ate repair of the entire river front here and the permanent protection of the city in the future. Dr. Caldwell if elected mayor of Pine Bluff, will be the first mayor in Arkansas in point of intellectually and ability. He says. If honored with the position to which he aspires, he will work for a cleaner and moral city. his motto will be square deal to every man."

THE SEATS ARE
GOING VERY FAST

If you have an opportunity, look
over the Arabian Nights and note the
parts. The method in the production
at the Opera House on Thursday night
for the benefit of the KiIohana Art
League is found within the covers of
that classic. Everyone, has read the
book, some time or other, but they may
be rusty and for that reason it is sug-
gested they read up.
A glance at the box plan of the
Opera House for Thursday night may
bring surprise to persons who want
good seats The demand for places is
better than the newspaper articles
would indicate. There are some IN the
parquet that are available and. a few
in the circle but there is no doubt
these will be sold before the doors open.
Manager Adams says he never has
had company that takes so easily to
the business of the play. In every in
stance the players get proper CON
ceptiOn of the character and infuse life
into it. There is no doubt about the
result; satisfaction will come to every
one who attends the performance and
the wise ones will get seats for two
nights while they are about it. The
cause is as good as the play, which is
going some.
The entrance of the King and Queen
of Carnival at the Opera House at this
time is causing some criticism but the
manager of the Mardf~Gra says it is
intended that the audience shall be
pleased no matter the cost Tickets
