A SUMMER
BOOM
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1911, by Associated Lit
crary Press.
By M. QUAD

1t was Deacon SpoOner who started
It. The doctor sent him off to sum
ner resort for two weeks to get rid
Of fever, and when he came home he
had the biggest kind of an idea in his
head. lie got down to the postofdce
that same evening and said to the
crowd;
What we want to do is to turn in
and make High Hill a summer resort.
She's got everything the heart could
wish for, and if we don't see 10000
people here next summer it viii be
our own fault I'm primed with facts
and statistics. and move we call
public meeting for next Tuesday even
ing"
The idea met with favor, and the
meeting was called. and during the
interval the price Of butter and eggs
went up 30 per cent. Most Of the
families g. town decided on taking
boarders. and they decided that SIC
per week would be Il fair charge
There was Il large turnout at the
meeting. and Deacon Spooner went
right to business by calling for order
and saying:
The idea is to turn High Hill into
a summer resort and welcome thou
sands to her gates. To get 4 boom
under way our motto must be Pro
Bono Publico. There must be no
hanging OUT, no examples of indiyid
ual selfshness. I'm one who is will
ing to turn nay house into a hotel for
the summe? to accommodate the
strangers who will come here, and
I'll also make the price Of board as
reasonable as possible
Deacon. about what would be your
price for boardt" asked Truelove
White from the audience.
From $40 to $12 a week, l guess,
was the reply.
And what would you fodder the
people on?"
Mostly on meat and taters, but of
course apple sass and custards would
come in pretty frequent"
"Then 1 move that tie price of board
be fixed at S11 per week all round.
with extra for washbows and lookin'
glasses"
The deacon put the motion to the
meeting, and it was carried, and he
then said:
There will be hundreds come here
who will want to buy land and build
cottages. I've got twenty village lots.
and in order to start the ball rolling
III put em in at low value. l hope
others will follow my example"
What would you call low value,
deacon" asked Moses Turner as he
rose up.
well. I might say $500 apiece. l
presume they'd bring twice that, but
we don't want to rob anybody"
Then came the question of hauling
the people to and from the railroad
Nothing so discourages a person as to
meet with eXtortion on the start. He
had thought the matter over, and it
was his idea that the charge should
be 50 per capita in each direction. In
case any one started a livery stable in
town-and three or four such institu-
tons would be sure to rise up-the fixed
rate should not be above So an hour
for a horse and blackboard. When he
was at summer resort he had long

The merchants hero Ara not com

The merchants here are not con- blaming. They are all doing well, notwithstanding this season of the year is always a dull one in this sec tion. One merchant told the writer yesterday that his business is even larger than that of last year He was satisfied, and he said it was as good as he could wish for.
 There is no need for skepticism. There is~no occasion for alarm. Pine Bluff will take care of itself. Tie railroads will Eventually come and the future is already assured. It is growing every day. You can see fl on all sides There might be a moro concerted acti)n on the part of rte business men to bring about more rapid advancement but even with tie lack Of energy on their part in tAe past 1t has grown and become a larger and better town. It will continuo to grow Nothing can stop Pine B If. It has been tried and was never found wanting.
 Let every man continue to have confidence in his home city. There are none better and few as good Piac Bluff could have many more indus tries, it is true, but they will come and are coming slowly, but surely. II is destined to be one of the best cities in the South within the next few years.

PINE BLUFF ALL RIGHT.

We hear remarks every day that tend to injure Pine Bluff and retar] it's future progress. It is common thing to hear somebody say "This town is on the bum" or sWe had better do something, Pine Bluff is go ing backward instead of forward
 The calamity howler salways run ming loose He ought to be passed unnoticed.
 Pine Bluff is all right It is as good if not bet..r than any other city of its size in the South. It has Just as good future and is just as progressive as other towns and cities unless some of them enjoy sudden booms that do not last long and sell dom resul! in permanent good. Just because we have no new railroads is no reason why some men should be- co1ae discouraged. The city is grow ing, nevertheless, and few cities can show better bank statements and more substantial business houses than Pine Bluff has.

not only serves to keep the bodily health at the highest notch of excel 1ence, but in typhoid and malaria, es- pecially. when the bodily functions are at their lowest ebb and death seems imminent, it is retained by the stomach when other ase2ts are re- iected, and as a food and stimniant sustains life until the crisis t passed.

Pine Bluff must be good business

Pine Bluff must be a good business town or there would not be so many good banks and so many successful business men. Everybody seems to be getting along fairly well and even individuals who have no larga in eomes have plenty of money and live we'll
 We heard a former official of the Cotton Belt railroad talking the other day, one who knows railroad business from A. to 2. He said the people here are unnec cessarily alarmed They ought to be more reasonable He declared that Pine Bluff was natural ly the best town on the Cotton Relt this side of St. Louis and that it's business men need not be skeptica1 as railroad financiers had their eve on this city and were only waiting the l>ppol tunity to get another big trunk linej an independent system, through i. to the North He said it amusis him to hear people circulate rumors that the Cotton Belt is liable to move it's shops from this city This official said Pine Bluff was the bess location for it's present large railroad shops. He said it would be absurd to even imagine that the Cotton Belt . was considering the removal of it's shops from this point.
 Its the knocker and t,ae skeptical man who is dping Pine Bluff more harm than anything else. It's the man with the hammer who is retard- ing its progress, if it is really suffer ing from slow movements.
 The fine agricultural country sur rounding Pine Bluff is alone enough to make it one of the best cities in the Spu.h eventually. It's progress has been slow, but sure It has not grown by jumps and bounds. It en- joys substantial and lasting growth and it will continue. Think of what Pine Bluff was ten years ago. LOOK a. the increase in population. That is enlAugh to encourage fhe most skeptical man. It has not been phenomenal, but healthy-an increase in population that means something. It's census returns have not been pad ded like Chose of other cities. The census was correctly taken and speaks volumes for Pine Bluff as a growing city.

FRENCH HEELS RUIN FEET.
Spinal Curvature Another Phase, Ac-

DR.. Charles II. Keene of Minneap-

the high French heels which high
school girls wear are the cause of de-
formed feet that have, to be cured by
physical culture, and therefore such
heels are to be barred from the school
DR.. Keene will have the physical in

He attributed the prevalence of curva-

general, Gray, is stirring up some
ugly charges about election frauds
and is summonsing the Du POnt fam
way, it is not Addicks.
Senator Moses E. Clapp, the insur-
gent from Minnesota, has seemed
sure winner until recently. Now there
are whispers that Governor Eberhart
is a regular candidate, and the names
of Frank B. Kellogg and James A.
Tawney are also mentioned. Despite
all this talk Clapp will probably win.
The Republicans have majority of
the Wyoming legislature, which would
seem to make Clarence Don Clark's
reelection to the senate probable, but
a recent sensational move was made
to combine the progressives and DEM
ocrats in favor of the new governor,
]. NJ. Carey. who was senator many
years ago.
California Has Fight.
In California the fight is between
John D. Works, a progressive and
al Spalding of baseball and sport
ing goods fame Works had the most
votes in the state primaries, but Spald-
ing carried a majority of the legisla-
tive districts
Perhaps. the hottest Republican fight
in the nation is that in Iowa, where a
successor to Senator Dolliver is to be
chosen. The governor appointed Sen
ator LATE Young, a regular, while
| the legislature is strongly progressive.
There are eleven progressive candi-
/ dates, of whom Attorney General

that his vote of something more than
$4,000 in the primaries represents only
about one-fourth of the total Demo
cratic vote cast in the succeeding cleo
ton. Governor Wilson is not only
writing letters against Smith, but is
addressing meetings and holding con-
ferences with members Of the leigisla-
ture.
New York Fight Warm.
The central figure of the New York
senatorial fight is Charles F. Murphy,
boss of Tammany Hall. Murphy says
that he is keeping his hands off, and
on hearing this statement every one
else shrugs his shoulders and looks
wise. The leading candidates are Ed
ward NJ. Shepard, who has the support
of Mayor Gaynor; William F. Shee-
han, who managed Alton B. Parker's
campaign for the presidency and
whose opponents are now predicting
for him a Parker finish; Dan Cohalan,
Murphy's right hand man in Tam
joke of the situation.
Ohio is also something of senate
rial storm center. The toga worn by
Hanna and Dick is about to envelop
the manly form of Democrat, but
just what Democrat nobody is sure.
The two leading candidates are Atlee
Pomerene and Edward Hanley. Pom
creme was recently elected lieutenant
governor and has a great following
throughout the state.
The Democrats of Maine are in a
1uandary as to Hale's successor. The
election of senator is such a novel
experience that they cannot get used
to it. They are still dazed from the
sudden good fortune. Early in the
contest Charles Il. Johnson was in the
lead, but Senator Hale Endorsed John
I son, since which time the Democrats
7 seem suspicious. Possibly it was only
/ a sly trick Of Hale TO kill Johnson off.
/ and if so it was a brilliant stroke.

Lodge In Hard Fight.

The Republicans also have their trou-
bles. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Of
Massachusetts Is being fought by
Governor Foss, and several Republican
members of the legislature are known
to oppose Lodge. The only question
seems to be as to the ability Of these
insurgents TO hold their votes and
agree with the Democrats on a can

Senator Aldrich wants Henry f. LIP
pitt, head of the cotton trust, to sue
coed him In Rhode Island. but United
States District Judge LIE Baron b.
Colt is also candidate.
Senator Morgan G. Buckley Of Con-
necticut is up for reelection, but for
smer Governor George p. Mclean claims
a majority Of the Republican caucus.
Senator Henry Algernon du Point Of
Delaware seems fairly certain OF go
ing back, but the Democratic attorney
