THEN 1T LOOKED ABOUT RIGHT.
Coal Dealer Understood When Told
What Load Represented.


John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in one OF
the last addresses that he made to his
Sunday school class before abandon
ing it, said of carefulness in business:
TOO many business men are care
full on one side, their own side, only.
Thus a coal dealer whom I used to
know shouted one afternoon to an en-
ploye who was driving out of the yard:
Hold on there, Jim! That coal
can't have been weighed. 1t looks
trifie large for ton to me-
Jim shouted back:
"'This amt ton, boss. It's two

"'Oh, all right said the dealer, in q
modified tone. Beg your pardon; go

me OF a book 1 got one Christmas
Upon opening it, found the insfdes
to be pack of playing cards,
Life is so sweet that even the. poor

One day of noble thinking and gen
erous acts is worth a. life Of selfish
ness and deceit.
Our lives are but the turnpike tc
the station of Death.
The loom of life never takes hc!i
day. 1t weaves on and on, by night
and by day, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Satur
day and again, continuously, until il
wears itself out and breaks down Of
disease or old age.
And of this mysterious Life we
know nothing, except that it is pre-
cious beyond all else.
The man who lives right, lives the
Iongest-if not in years, in satisfac
ton!
The man who sins and pays for il
on this earth, and pay he must, be
gins to doubt the existence of flu
ture hell, believing that hell is or
earth to-day for those who suffer fol
wrongdoing.
1t is against the greatest law of life
the law of retrfbutfon, that a man dc
wrong and escape punishment!
We are born with one whose love
and care is the greatest thing of life
but we must die alone,
Too many gauge life merely as &

were, and entered upon a scheme Of
reorganization upon occidental lines.
Now China, the biggest of all the
Oriental nations, seems to be in sort
OF restless waking state. The move
ment to reform and unity her none
tary system, the movement to adopt
over the Empire European or Ameri-
can systems and standards of weights
and measures, the various functions
given to Secretary and Mr.. Taft on
their late tour to the Far East all con-
tribute to show that there is in China
an impending awakening.

NEW IRON BRIDGE
HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
County Judge Gould Wednesday In
spcctcd the Big Macadam Road
Bridge and PrOnOunceS II
One of the Finest in
This County.

County Judge Gould Wednesday
afternoon inspected the new IRON
bridge across Bayou Bartholomew,
four miles south of Pine Bluff on
the Monticello road, and accepted
it. The bridge was recently built
by the Virginia Bridge and Iron
Company of Roanoke, Va, at a cost
OF $4,000 to the county. 1t is $50
feet long, sixteen feet wide and is
made entirely of iron. It is wide
enough to admit the passing of two
vehicles, in opposite directions, and
is said by Judge Gould to be one Of
the finest bridges ever built in
this county. The bridge is an addi-
ton to the new macadam road,
which when completed, will be used
fc- q distance Of twelve miles.
Judge Gould is r firm believer of
good roads and good bridges and
he promises more substantial i'm
Diovements along that line the com
ing year.

REV. HOLCOMBE

Pine Bluff, Ark, Jan. Il, 1908
On Saturday the 18th, We went into
City Missions" at 220 State street,
conducted by Bro. Sam Holcombe.
Our heart was touched by the poor
and destitute who came in for aid.
One aged man 70 years old, living
in the west end Of town, free rent
One gentleman with all his family
sick with measles; no work and desti-
titue.
One poor woman with family all
sick with measles, two children not
expected to live until Wednesday a. III.
One poor, supplemented girl sixteen
years old. She was almost frozen and
had only been up several days"
Bro. Holcombe supplied her needs.
Those were few of the many cases
Bro. Holcombe is called on to have
their wants and sufferngs relieved.
We are under the impression that
the fortunate rich and others of Pine
Bluff whom God has blessed, ought to
give Bro. Holcombe aid in clothing,
feeding and financially assisting him.

WESTINGHOUSE.

New York and Pittsburgh papers
forecast the early termination OF
the rcca' yership Of the We5tin%-
house Machine Company. This Is
not only gratifying "a showing the
end Of the panic but it Is particu-
larly gratifying because of the per
sonality of the great inventor and
developer. George Westinghouse
Nothing but the accomplished fact
could give crcdence to the maSnl-
tudc and value of his achievement
in the field of industry. Any one,
out of dozen things he has done,
surpasses what any other one man
has done in the same or q similar
field of industry.
His air-brakc revolutionized rail
roading, not only in America but
in all the world.
The same is true of his electrical
development. When he went Into
this field there was an arc system
and an incandescent system both
using direct currents and both Of
very limited application for light
Ing only. He turned to the alter
mating current, rapidly built UP a
system and made it produce heat,
light and power. More than this he
made it applicable to the transmits
sion of current for more than 100
miles for economic practical use all
along the lines. 1t was with hiSap-
paratus that Niagara was harness
ed. 1t with this that the power OF
the Catawba Falls in South Caro-
lima is being harnessed and trans
mitted.
The switch and signal system by
which trains are run and guided are
Of his devising and build. He first
brought natural gas under control
and Pittsburgh and other cities
are now served on the plans nc
worked out. The above is but a
beginning of a list Of his Inventions
and developments.
In the fel dof electricity the call
for his appliances simply outran the
money available for making and
furnishing them.
He is man who follows no cults,
fads or isms, but is simp'e and di-
rect in all that he does.
What fortune he has, has been
carved out of natural forces and re-
sources, and in bringing these to
the uses of mankind he has enrich
I'd the world ten dollars for every
one he has made for himself.
1t is to be hoped that the re-
will terminate as init
mated, not only for the financial
bettermant Of the money market
out that the genius of the man
nay be expended on constructive
work.
