NEGOTIATIONS WITH G.. A
SMITH LOOKING TO REBUILD
ING AND STARTING PLANT.
No Conclusion Reached last Evening
Another Meeting This Morning
Mr.. Smiths Remarkable Po-
sition and Fowcr.

A conference was held Yesterday At
terncon between r. A Smith the truS-
tees Of the Cairo Contracting and
Dredging Co. and representative Of
| the two banks thar now own the
dredging plant. with view TO reacd-
ing some agreement under which sand
may be procured from the Mississippi
river and conveyed over Mr.. Smiths
ground into the city.
| The purpose is said to be to re
build and start the Plant as quickly
as possible and fill the contracts with
| the Cairo & Thebes and with the city
of Cairo; but nothing can be done
without Mr.. Smiths consent. There
was a conference of over an hour dur,
ing which the situation was gone over
but no agreement was reached and
another meeting will be held at 10
O'Clock this morning. What is want
cd from Mr.. Smith is a definite prop0-
sition as to what he VIII charge for
the material taken from the river ami
for conveying it over his land When
this has been obtained, the trustees
and present owners of the plant VII
decide on what they will do with it
Mr.. Smith finds himself in an extra
ordinary position IL these negotia
tions He was the largest stockholdcr
in the Dredging Co and will be the
largest loser. if it cannot recoup H.
self; he is the president of the Cairo
National Bank, which is one of the
purchasers of the plant under the
mortgage. and it will be to the inter
est of the bank to get its money out
of the property as quickly as possi-
Bile; he is president of the Cairo &
Thebes railroad company. with
which the Dredging Company has a
big contract for fillilg and, most inn
portant of all, perhaps, ne is the own
er of the land which the company
must have and pass over if ii is to |
turn wheel at all
As owner Of the land Mr.. Smith is |
trongest, for without a reasonable |
agreement from him on that score, the
plant will be practically worthless in |
any hands but his own.

! TELEPHONE HABIT BAD. ~

Let the men do the calling up girls.
You may miss few good times oc-
casfonally. but then, again, you may
spoil a good many, for It was real
good-looking fellow who told me that
many a man had changed his mind
about calling on a girl because she
happened to telephone and ask him
to do So

few minutes calling up her admirer
SO often that he arrived at the point

by girl who simply wants to chatter
or gossip, but what hurts them most
is to think that they mus answer her
nonsense before a Toomful OF associ-
atcs The other fellows are sure to
roast" him, tell him TO marry the
girl and be done with 1t, and he does
not like that Think of bookkeeper
having a long column Of figures nearly
added and having to do Il over again,
because some girl wants to say hello
TO him over the phone He needs have
plenty of love for a girl to stand this

Many a maid vexes her fsnce. many
bride bores her husband by calling
him up too frequently. but neither of
these are guilty of the offense com
mitted by the scores of girls who call
up mere men acquaintance and in
wife them TO go rowing. take a lunch

such a call is a decided jar Ii un-

provokes him much more than 1t

really does not want to go. but he
cannot take the time from his work to
explain, so he accepts the invitation.
