SENATOR OVERMANS SPEECH

A great speech-that of Senator
0verman at the warehouse Wednes-
day night. A large crowd and an
abundance of enthusiasm, notwith-
standing the rainy weather. Sena-
tor OverInan is all to the good and
what he did for Mary Ann Butler
and his crowd was plenty. Peo-
pie listen to and believe in such a
man as MIR. Overman.

GOOD WORK

Mayor Tate, chairman Of the
Traffic and Transportation Com
mittee of the Manufacturers Club,
has succeeded in restoring the High
Point Richmond package car. Some
weeks ago a change was made and
High Point merchandise from Rich
mond went to the transfer at Spen-
Ger and then back here again, ne.
cessitating a long and unnecessary
delay, and of course, working a
hardship on the people. The Re-
view the past three weeks has had
shipments delayed in this way and
has caused no little annoyance. Di-
rect shipments from Richmond
reach here in a day or so whereas il
takes whole week to be trans
ferred from Spencer and then SEM
back here again. Chairman Tate
struck a good lick in this direction
The editor Of The Review had al
ready written the Chamber Of Com
merce Of Richmond given them th'
information and calling on that or
ganization to right the wrong.

ANOTHER PRIZE WON
For the last ten days every one
connected with The Reviews
popularity contest have put forth
every effort to win the special mil
linery prize given by Miss Venetia
Smith, the popular milliner
Never was more beautiful
home stretch witnessed. So keen
was the rivalry for the last few
hours that no very great difference
exists between the winner and those
who foil owed in close persuit. Miss
Lille Rochelle carried off the prize.
Next came Miss Eta White of Arch
dale, a very popular contestant, and
deserves special mention as she
held a very close second and did it
all in less than a week. Had she
started after the hat with the others,
she would have carried off the prize
easily. After the dust had cleared
away, we found Miss Mary Denson
was right on hand and had there
been a second prize, it would have
been very hardto, decide whether
she or Miss White would have been
the one to take it. Miss Juanita
Hammer holds fourth place. She
did some very good work, but wait
ed too late to get in earnest about
it. When she did start she made a
fine last quarter. Miss Hattie Gray
was next in order and made a very
good showing. Hurry up, Miss Gray,
You have a good chance, We know
your qualities and in the next race
we expect to see you in first place
Are we expecting too much? q? Surely
not. And thus The Review and its
happy throng of contestants rush
out and take great victories. Be
fore the contest closes The Review
will cover the state like the dews.

STATE FARM COTTON
 IS STILL STUCK
200 Bales Purchased by Little Rock Firm Cant Get Off Sandbar
 Near Pine Bluff.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. S.-Members of the Williamson Cotton Company here figure that it was an ill day when they loaded 200 bales of cotton from the state farm into a flatboat and started with it from the farm to Pine Bluff. This was six weeks ago, yet that same cotton is just sev- en miles from the farm and so per sistently "stuek" on the sandbar in the river that it may be as many more weeks before it can be gotten t" market.
 The boat is we'll covered with tar paulins and a watchman is maintain ed on the job all the time, while the company anGi the state penitentiarV board are waiting anxiously for the river rise Since the purchase of the cotton there has been percep- tible slump in the market, which makes the situation anything but at tractive for the buyers. On the oth- CT hand, the state cannot collect on the cotton until it reaches he dock at Pine Bluff and. as the state is just now in the condition of John Henry so far as needing the money is concerned, the penitentiary board is anxious for tine surface of the river to pillow and foam until it gets into the navigable class again, and with as little delay as possible.
 No disposition has been made of the 600 bales of cotton at the farm, samples of which are on display at the state house. The market is off again today, and there is little likeli- hood of any effort to sell being made by the board for the present. Mean- time samples on an additional hun dTed or more bales are expected to arrive.

 RECORDS BROKEN
Stage of the Arkansas Lacks Little
 of One Foot Below Zero.

Little Rock, Ark. Dec. 8.-The Ark ansas River has broken another re- cord, the stage now being nine-tentha of one foot below zero, the lowest on the records of the Weather Bu- reau, and also in the minds of the oldest inhabitants.
 Section Director Alciatore states today that there has been no rainfall in the drainage basin which would justify a prediction of a rise on the river, and the chances appear to b. for a further fall in the river
 MT. Alciatore also predicts con tinued unsettled weather for tonigl, and tomorrow, but little change in the temperature.

as there is no clue to the father. A striking situation is envolved when
 she finds that the man she loves is the father ef "Kiddie'' and is con- fronted with the problem of giving him up or being untrue to her ideals,
 and she does it. This is what forms

ADJUSTMENTS.
@@@%&@AaA~@%~~

World" the work of Rachel Brothers a woman, is the most powerful and most popular play ill which Miss Mary Nannering. who Is known in private life as Mrs. James K. Hackett, has ever starred. It h far superior to her vehicle s1 last season. "Glorious Betsy" which did not give her opportunity for the real dramat- is work that her unusually fine talents merit. But with it all thsre is . disappointment at the close Of the fourth and last act, when Frank Ware" rejects the man she loves, sustaining her strong plea fos the single standard of morals for men and women instead of tho double standard which condemns to ruin the woman and excuses anc even. applauds the man.
 But that does pot detract from the beautiful moral of Rachel Brothers work. The play if finely constructed and the supporting company presents it in a most a. tractive and capable manner. Few people in the audience at the Elh'. Theater last night were aware of thi fact that former Pine Bluff wonlaE vas one of the most important mem
 bers of the company. In the person of Mrs. H. H Kirchgraber, former wife of a we'll known Cotton Belt engineer whose stage name is Ann Crewe, the role of .'Loonie Brune' is most accept ly done. She displayed fine ability as the gossipy and ambitious singer, whose love for "Trits Bohn" was so serious that until it was reciprocated she could not accomplish the desired success. Nrs. KirchDrabsr, who left Pine Bluff fourteen years ago, was until recently in vaursville and this is her first appearance in drama.
 Mise Hannering fairly caphvated her audience last evening with her charming personality and delightful stage work. In her strongest scenes she was at her best and her Frank Ware was decidedly the best presen- tation in this city. Her magnifi- cent acting has endeared her to Pine Bluff theatergoers and she is growing more popular upon each visit.
 r,f o4, est that has been seen here this sea
 son. Charles Wvngate as Fritz Bohn' is the best male member of the cast. He would have been even stronger in the part of Malcolm Gaskelr' in which role Alphone Eth fer appeared as the leading man. Lit tie Mark, Short was as cute as cute could be as 'sKiddie''. Miss Helen Ormsbee shares equal honors with the star in the part of ''Clara Oaks. , an energetic but unsuccessful artist. What they have to do is done we'll by Claus Bogel and Arthur Berthelet.
 "A Mans World'' is laid in a quar ter of New York's BoheYaia. A nov elist, journalist, German violinist, am Italian opera singer, a French. painter, minaturst, a. dramatist and a child comprise the characters. The play takes place in four acts. the scenes occurring entirely in. the stud jos of the people concerned in the ac- tion of the drama, where a vivid con- ffict is waged. The picturesque col bring of the artistic atmosphere and the unique group of people who are contrasted so Interestingly makes an added basis of interest.
 The action has to do with Frank Ware, a woman novelist, who has talk en to- her home a woman who dies giving the impression that she has been betrayed. The novelist adopts the child who is left without a name.
