THINKS PINE BLUFF

II am confident that Pine Bluff will go dry this fall," said Rev. G. w. i.ichelberger. who has been taking an active part in the temperance cam paign this summer and fall.
 q have spent some time in that city and other speakers have also been there in the interest of statewide pro- hibition, and the general trend of pub lie opinion leads me to believe that the citizens of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county will vote to oust the saloon from the city.
 We are waging a strong'campaign in Little Rock, but I fear we will not succeed in carrying this city this fall.
 We are sowing some good seed, how ever, and we are going to continue the campaign in Pulaski county indefinite ly.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
 RICE CULTURE

Samples of Jefferson county rice were brought to Pine Bluff Wednesday
 from John Rutherford's place about lseven miles out on the Ladd road and those who have seen the Louisiana
 and Texas rice fields say that these
 samples far surpass the rice~of either l of these states. MT. Rutherford has
 about five hundred acres planted in
 rice and he states that the yield will
 be almost one hundred bushels to the acre, the rice now selling at a dollar a bushel The cost of planting and cultivation, ready for reaping, is about $15 per acre. The harvest will be about September 15. The farmers
 of Jefferson county would do we'll to follow the example of Mir. Rutherford, Judge Gould and other planters who
 have started the rice culture in the
 county, fo raccording to their state
 ments the profits will beat cotton very
 much.

STRIKE
 ON DAVIS HOSPITAL

Work was temporarily stopped on the union carpenters who were enl- ployed on the building laid down their tools and went out on strike. The trouble arose over the employment of d nonunien carpenter by Contractor Fred Wilson. who has charge of the construction of the hospital. MT. Will sen had deducted five cents per week from the pay of the different carpen- ters to pay for the ice water used in order to, obviate the irregularity of collection for that purpose otherwise. One of the union carpenters employed objected to this plan and quit work Monday. According to Contractor Will son the foreman then employed an- other man to take his place who hap pened to be nonunion man. The un- ion men Tuesday informed MT. Wilson that the new employe was not a union man and refused to join the union and they then requested Mir. Wilson to fire the man. This Contract or Wilson refused to do and as a re- suit the union carpenters quit work. Mir. Wilson has hired new nonunion men to fill their places and these are pushing the work on to completion. A night shift is being employed now putting in the reinforced concrete work and before long the hospital will be reality.
