calling out the fire companies they
telephoned to the police station for
assistance and the fire was eXtin-
guished with chemicals. 1t is a
mystery how the fire could have

1T IS THEIR DUTY,

The Hot Springs Bulletin thanks the
Graphic for its compliment to the
business men of the Valley of Vapors
in raising 100000 to secure the Mem.
phis, Dallas and Gulf railroad. 1t is
no more than any business men should
do, although there are many towns
where business men sleep and are
not so wide awake as those of the Va
pIor City. Railroads boom towns and
cities and live towns and cities boom
railroads. What Pine Bluff needs is
more activity and generosity among
business men who can do things, but
who do not seem to realize it.
There is jealousy and inactivity in
Pine Bluff among the business men
just the same as exists in other cities
One faction wants to be the big men
in promoting an enterprise and be-
cause the other faction does not agree
with them the hammers are used ov-
err time and the result is nothing is
accomplished. What Pine Bluff has
in the way Of railroads and enterprises
have come here simply because Pine
Bluff is good town. Its geographic
cal location makes it one of the best
in the Southwest. 1t has thrived and
progressed notwithstanding inactivity
and lack of enterprise on the par o.
some of it's men of mems. Pine Bluff
has been growing steadily for some
years. 1t will continue to grow, but
it could grow tester and more suh-
stantially if our people will set to-
gether and work together.

hitter out Of a man who knows nothing
of the science Of batting In the first
place. a good hitter must have nerve and
confidence Then comes a quick eye and
a knack OF swinging at the ball at the
proper moment. Once a batsman gets II
into his head that he is weak with the

how he is criticised by the newspapers
