CAMDEN WITHOUT
 A WATER SERVICE
Philanihropic Citizen Saves the Day With Barrel of Oil-The
 Situation Critical.

Camden, Ark, March 1.-The Camden Water Go. would have been without fuel and would have stopped it's engines Saturday morning, leav- ing Jhe city of Camden absolutely without water fer domestic use and w,h no fire protection whatever, had it not been fer the spirit of the man who runs the engines, l.. P. Wright.
 The Water Go. has been in bad way for many months. The efiy has filed suit to throw the company into the hands of receiver, but a com- promise for eigh,.. months was wheedled out of the easy-going eoun- Gil by s. R. Morgan, the president of the Water Go. Then a number of suits were filed to collect bills due fer fuel and supplies, and on last Thursday Stern and Mason, local at tcrneys, filed garnishments against all the local banks and a great num-  deayor to make collections for num- ber of creditors; thereby tying up the water company's bank accounts.
 For months the local oil agencies have been under orders to collect cash for everything sold the water company. Oil and gasoline are daily necessities, as the engines are run by the latter. s. R. Morgan, the president, was here on Thursday but left for Me,ia that night. On Saturday Kinard, the manager, also left town. There was very little fuel in the engine house when they left. It ran out a,. midnight, Friday night.
 Rather than see fhe city go with out water and fire protection, l.. ] Wright went to the gasoline agency and bough, barrel of oil at his own expense, sent it to the pump house and starred the engines going Sat urday. This supply will last until Monday at noon. After that time unless the city has made some ar rangemert to operate the plant, il will stop. Citizens who heard O WIight's action went to him ant paid him the cost of the oil, deduct ing the amounts so paid from theil monthly bills payable to the watel company.
 Under the franchise granted by the city of Camden, the water plan may be taken and operated by tht city al any time, and this will b' done unless the management has made some definite arrangement fo fuel and opera,,ion by tomorrow.

 Mrs. H. E. Putnam, 117 N. Beech St., Pine Bluff, Ark, says: "I suffered in- tensely from backache and pains in my loins and 1 always felt tired and worn out Nervousness bothered me and my health was all run down. When I was suffering in that way, Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and I immediately pro cured supply. I improved soon af- ter I began their use and by the time I had finished the contents of three or four boxes, I was without symptom of kidney compl9int. I have often told my friends and acquaintances about Doan's Kidney Pills.' (State- ment given June 9. 1910l

buSlues- nan, JH the SNDJGIt. To the hambeg of Commerce,
 City.
 entlgmcn:-I think it of serious importance that thru the press, and -hru tho Chamber of Commerce, thlt We get a movement oil foot, to sec with interest and courtesy, the off, cials of the st. L. s. ". By. CD. and petition them to so arrange the run ming divisions of inc passenger con ductots that are now in the service on trains Nd i, 2 3 and 1, so that the home of these worthy citizens may continue to be ill Pine Bluff.
 The change of schedule seems to carry with it a program that will mean fer these condlctors and their bral1emen and crews to go on their run at Memphis and at TeXaIkana and have their lay overs in these two cities
 This will mean that 8 crews will change their place of residence, which will of course be an injury to cur city.
 Financially the loss will be very great and from the point of adver- tiSement5 the loss will be inestim2ble The income Of these gentlemen ap- p1oximate $25, ,000 per year. This amount of money would operate a 2,000 acre plantation and we know we can see plainly what worth the running of q plantation of this size would mean to the toWn--hence the comparison.
 From 8 personal standpoint, these gentlemen have lived here all their liv.es with their families and all tha people know them and have always Garsidered them their own and il seems to me that it is self evident tha! if it is possible, We should cause the officials of the Cotton Belt to change their plan, provided cf course. it does not injure them to any great extent.
 It is movement in which both thl railroad, the town and these goof men ard their families are entitled tt every consideration for the railroad is apt to make the change.
 We know these pecple-We like l them, and whether we receive iron them any benefit financially or other wise-We want them for their geot citizenship, and, at any odds, Whethea we can dc them any gaod CT not, let render them any assistance that they nay want from us, for as you know the railroad man and bis family iG tht backbone of our retail trade, ant from this reason alone, they are en titled to any effort or consideratio, tha-- the emergency may require.
 This fer your consideration
 Respectfully.
