HIGH PRAISE TO
REV. Wilmington
THE PINE BLUFF MINISTER
CALLED TO CONWAY CHURCH
is COMMENTED b. HOME
PAPER.
(From the Pine Bluff Graphic
June 49,

(From the Pine Bluff Graphic,
June 49,
From Mondays DAILY
At late hour last night, Rev Otto
Wilmington, pastor Of the Ohio
Street Baptist church, was called ov-
er long-distanee phone by q repre-
sentative Of the First Baptist church
at Conway and extended the official
call of that congregation 70 become
its pastor. Rev. Wilmington stated
to the representative Of the Conway
church that he would give his answer
in the near future.
The call was made after the con
gregation met at the church in Con
way last night and voted upon the
question, instructing the appointment
of a pulpit committee, of which Mr.
Meadors was appointed chairman, to
get into immediate communication
with the Pine Bluff minister and of
fer him the pastorate of their church.
Rev. Wilmington, when questioned
last night, stated that he had not
had proper time to think the matter
over and would be unable to give his
answer in the matter for several
days. Upon his return trip from Ok
lahoma last week, he stopped in Con-
way several hours and became ac-
quainted with number of the MEM
bers of the Conway church congrega-
ton.
During his pastOrate in Pine Bluff
Rev. Whittington's efforts have serv-
ed materially to build up the congre-
cation of the Ohio Street church.
When Mr. Wilmington came here in
March, 1909, the membership of the
church was something over 200. Since
that time it has increased to over 400
and more than $4,000 has been paid
on the church debt, practically free
ing the congregation of financial obli-
cations. He has also used every eff
fort for the betterment of the city in
a public and social way, frequently
conducting services at the Jefferson
county jail, at the noon hour meet
ings at the Cotton Belt shops, and at
". M. c. A. meetings, and he was
with w. T. Nichols the last few min
utes before Re died last Friday MORN
ing, giving him religious comfort
| His efforts we're always for the up
lift of Pine Bluff ard should he de-
eide to leave the ety his place will
be hard to fill Mr. Wilmington has
also made host Of friends who
would regret to see her depart.

TEXT BOOK BILL

Little Rock, June ia meeting
of the State Board of Education is
being held here today, among those
in attendance being j. H. Reynolds
of the State University, J. w. Kuy-
kendall of Fort Smith and l.. P. An
derson of MARVEL. Among other
things, the board is expected to dis
cuss proposed act No. A, under the
initiative, for state textbook COM
mission.
The teachers and educators of the
state almost as unit disapprove the
bill as impracticable and vicious, al
though they are in favor of state uni
formity and a state board under
proper provisions. This bill, propos-
ed by the Federation of Labor and
the Socialists, proposes an elaborate
system of election by referendum
among the first grade teachers of the
state, besides numerous other fea-
lures that are net considered prac-
teal.

enormous crowd outside the hotel.

pie waiting to see me?" On being told
that they were waiting to see Sir
Henry he turned UP the collar OF his
overcoat. adjusted his eyeglasses.
pulled his soft hat down over his eyes.
and walked down the steps with the
Irving gait There was great cheering,
but when Sir Henry Irving went down
later the crowd had dispersed. After
ward. when Sir Henry heard OF the In
cident, he said to Mr.. Grossmith. with
a twinkle in his eye: you ought not
to have done that; I pay those people
to come here every night. "-London

Influence of Clothes.

1t is said that the average man is,
to a great extent. influenced by the
kind OF clothes which he wears. in the
same way as he is affected by his en-
vironment A well-dressed man will
walk better. talk better and, they say,
even do better work than the man who
is carelessly dressed. Therefore. the
man who is neglectful of his personal
appearance, is unneat, slouchy. his
clothes not pressed or carefully brush
ed. his shoes unpublished, his linen
soiled and his hat denied and covered
with dust, discards one of the most
potent instruments of success. Per
haps he cannot afford to buy linen
or suits made at the best tailors. but
every man can afford to be clean and
neat in his dress.

VAN buren, COUNTY
SETTLERS DISSATISFIED
EASTERN ARKANSANS DESIRE
TO RETURN TO THEIR MA
TIVE SWAMPS.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
It is with regret we note the dispo-
sition upon the part of a portion of
the Mississippi county colony, settled
on Crowell mountain, to become dis
satisfied with their surroundings and
desire to part with their possessions
for the purpose of returning to east
ern Arkansas, says the Van Buren,
County Democrat. Coming from an
alluvial bottom country, especially
adapted to the growing of cotton and
corn, and these alone, to mountain
Gus section, intended by nature for
fruit culture and livestock raising, 1t
should, and would by one better post
ed on upland conditions, have been
expected to make a change from for
mer methods of farming, and not
hang hope of success on products un-
adapted to climate or soil. In the
growing of fruit, grass and forage
crops of all kinds these mountain
lands will make the man who knows
how and has the means to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities afforded,
independent. But no citizen of thes9
hills has yet succeeded in harvesting
a profitable crop Of corn sown broad
cast, or, in marketing two or three
bales of cotton from single acre.
Industry is valuable asset, but In
spite of mans effort, water continues
to flow down stream. No one takes
greater delight in welcoming deserv-
ing citizens to a home in our midst
than the writer of this paragraph.
But when such do come, unless COM
ing from like climate, soil and sur
roundings, they must be prepared to
amend their methods of operation in
accordance with conditions confront
ing them and not expect to accomp-
lish at the end of few months what
men of equal intelligence and perse-
verance have failed to accomplish af-
ter years of unremitting toll.

RAINS HELPED WEST:
DAMAGED THE EAST
COTTON CROP is IN GOOD CON-
DITION, BUT RETARDED
BY COLD.

Memphis, June 17.-E KEGS iv e
rains fell during the week in Georgia
and the Carolinas. Elsewhere the
rainfall was highly beneficial and
will contribute greatly to the plant S
growth, according to the Commercial
Appeals weekly cotton report pub
lshed today Warm weather set in
at the close of the week following un-
seasonably low temperatures east of
, the Mississippi river for several
days. This made the outlook more
hopeful and the week as a whole was
favorable one.
Widely scattered local showers in
Oklahoma and Arkansas were of a
very great benefit in those states and
the late planted cotton is beginning to
come up. but there are still some
fields that have not sprouted.
Conditions in Texas are uniformly
good, no complaints being received.
! The cotton is not so we'll advanced as
last year. but is now growing rap
IDLY and the state of cultivation is ex-
cellent.
Cultivation is generally well adj
vanced save in the Atlantic states,
where, owing 10 too much rain, a few
fields are grassy. AS a rule good
stands have been obtained and the
plant is beginning to look more vigor-
Gus than heretofore. 1t is still small,
however, as growth has been slow.
Warmer weather and showers are
needed in all central and western
states to stimulate the plant.
The condition of cotton in Arkan-
sas IS summarized as follows:
The plant is small but is now grow
ing with fair rapidity. Light rains
fell over all portions of the state dur
ing the week, but more rain is need
ed. About 50 per cent of last years
acreage has been planted in the over
| flowed districts. Fields are clean and
the soil condition has been improved
by the light rainfall. Some cotton is
just coming up.
