BRYAN AND KERN
 BY THE WHOLESALE
Local Democrats Running Over Each Other in Their Efforts to Organize ilte First Club in This Cit!-Rival Clubs in Jefferson COmnty-Meet. in.S Called.

The recent announcements made by Attorney T. Havis Nixon and others tc the effect that a Bryan and Kern club would be organized at the court house ill this city Monday night by the Democrats of Jefferson county has created no little comment because of the fact that it is stated that a Bryan and Kern club was organized in this city more than six weeks ago. It was stated last night that the or ganizers of the first Bryan and Kern club would issue a notice today to the effect that a meeting would be called at the court house tomorrow night by them for the purpose of per- fecting their organization. And there by hangs tale.
 Some weeks ago, according to q statement made last night by Justice of the Peace J. \. Frazier, a Bryan and Kern meeting was called at his office for the purpose of formulating plans for the organization of Bryan and Kern club in Jefferson county. At this meeting he says, E. J. Kerwin was selected as chairman and Creed Caldwell, secretary. It was entirely too early at that time, it is claimed to perfect the organization and the organizers decided to wait until a later day or at least until more in- terest was manifested in the present national campaign. Joe T. Robinson, congressman from this district, was re- gently invited to address the club and according to MT. Frazier accepted the invitation and will come to Pine Bluff on October 10.
 Regardless of this move T. Havis Nixon and others are making great preparations for the big meeting of the Democrats here on Monday night for similar purpose. A band has been engaged and MT. Nixon stated yesterday that a mammoth crowd would turn out to enroll their names and hear the speeches in behalf of the Democratic leaders. The outcome vii doubtless be watched with interest for the affair is nothing if not anus ing.

COTTON BELT
 OFFICIAL HERE
Assistant General Manager Nelson of the Cotton Belt Says Arkansas Peo- pie Must Pay For High Grade Ser vice if They Want It.

Assistant General Manager Nelson of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company spent yesterday in Little Rock. Mr. Nelson was there looking into the Argenta situation, relative to the Cotton Belt improvements, where there has been some friction over the question of right-of- way adjustment. He returned to Pine Bluff that after noon, and to St. Louis last night, where he will confer with other off, cials as to the result of his findings.
 MT. Nelson is somewhat optimistic lover the bushes soutlook but says the return to normal commercial condi tions will naturally be slow.
 He was asked as to whether or not he would attend the meeting of ship pers and traffic officials announced | for Little Rock next week He said that he did not think he would be present, as whatever conference would be held would doubtless be between the ship pers and officials in departments other than his.
 Mr. Nelson admits frankly that if the people of the state want high grade service they must pay for it, and that is the only solution of the rail- road and traffic problem. The roads are willing to submit to the require provided the people of the state are willing to pay for such service. but these things can not be furnished, he declares, by any system of financing ments for modern equipment as t stations. new stations, the require ments of the hree-brakemen law, etc. or economics under the sun, without icreatiug an expense.

M. E. O'CALLAHAN
 HOME FROM IRELAND

M. B. O'Callahan, the New York cot ton dealer who winters here every wear and incidentally buys cotton for Liverpool cotton firms, returned to Pine Bluff yesterday after q several months tour of Europe While away Mr. O,Callahan visited Cork, Ireland, his birthplace. 1t being his first visit there in forjy-five years. Strange to say that while in that city Mr. O'Cal- lahan did not see one of his OoyhoOd friends or schoolmates. His trip was most enjoyable and interesting, how ever. and he was greatly benefited by the vacation. When Mr. O'Callahan left here several months ago he was ir very feeble health. He is now much improved and his health has been en- tirely restored Mr. O'Callahan was reported dead on enc occasion. while away. but to look at him now one would come to the conclusion that he is very much alive, He was greeted most cordially by his many Pine Bluff friends upon his arrival here yester- day.

ETHEL BOASTS
 ELITE SOCIETY
tctre>s HcrciIcssIy Scores Elite So- cict, women of America :i> ttefly "jscIcss. Brainless and Purpose less Order Oi Beings.

St Louis, Oct. 1.-Ethel Barrymore, the actress whose entree into the best of American and English society is un- uuestioned made the astonishing dec laration in an interview yesterday that the most useless, bralnless and pnrposeless order of beings in the world constitutes tile elite society of America.
 She expressed the opinion that the reason international marriages with American society girls have proven a failure is because the brides have not enough mentality. culture, education and serious purpose to interest the foreign noblemen, Or to meet the re- quirements of the situation they find
 there. There's. no occasion for brains in our society, at feast not ill that in New York, that l have seen, and consequently girls don't prepare themselves Or cultivate their capacl- ties. If you can join gracefully into the inanites of an ordinary dinner ta- ble you'll pass muster. but if you should happen to touch on anything that the real men of the country are doing--the men who are accomplish ing things-or if you should venture into an intellectual discussion of po- litica1 issues or problems or of books Or any of the various multiple inter- ests which might appeal to one of any mental capacity, you would be shnn- ned as a frightful bore
 The women of wealth are merely selfish and piggish and are utterly content with comfortable living quar- ters. a good dinner, a little polo or bridge, or rapid automobile Or two. They are empty shells and perfectly and useless to the coun- try.
 Miss Barrymore hastened to add that in declaring that American wo- men are not intellectually equipped for noblemen's wives, she did not re- fer to the great middle class-the working or the accomplishing class but only to society girls.

Dennis, vice president of the Se- curities Company of New York state, and who is said to be heavily inter- ested in the new local concern
 The mortgages filed yesterday were issued for the purpose of making the big improvements here in erecting an entire new water and light plant, as wei as a gas plant and for laying new pipes throughout the city. Thi: work is now in progress and Pine Bluff will soon find itself in posses sion of one of the most complete and up-to-date water. light and gas plants to be found any where in the country
 The mortgage for S600,00 is a thir- ty year, ] per cent first mortgage and the other an income mortgage. The new company will be known as the Pine Bluff Corporation. F. c. Bridges of his city is president, and Thomas R, Ashcraft. assistant secretary.

BILLS

Il IL said that there are more bills
on the calendar Of ECongress at
Washington and the Legislature at
Richmond than ever can be, ought
to be or ever will be enacted into
laws. Both bodies are inundated
with bills for every conceivable
thing under the sun. The members
who offer some OF these bills never
expect or desire to have them legis-
lated on. A large number are Of
Tered for the benefit OF the galleries
and for newspaper publication. Th.
member wants the dear people to
know that he is there and alive; the
dear people must be informed that
he Is on the spot, SO the best and
most effective way is to offer some
bill, and thus he thinks his efforts
will be recognized and appreciated,
and the chances for reelection will
be that much enhanced. Well, the
great and only Barnum once said
that the people liked to be humbug-
ged, and so it will be to the end OF
the chapter.

be the outcome no one seems to
know. We should have two Nor
mals-one at Harrisonburg, one at
fredericksburg. The appropriation
should be split in this session OF the
Legislature and so in the next, so
that the appropriation shall not
bear 90 heavily for any one session,
and thus the great valley OF Virginia
and Tidewster Virginia both win be
satisfied, and the territory from

sarily come from each OF these great
