This is grounding day, and in the
States north of us folks are watch
ing the skies with interest, for II
the sun shines ever 50 little-enough
for the grounding to see his shad-
ow-he retires again to his lair from
which he had peeped for the first
time since cold weather, and ven
lures eorth no more for six weeks.
Just why or how he figures sunshine
to be an omen of bad weather, de-
ponent saith not. but there are any
number Of people who put their trust
implicitly in the little animals prog
no5tieation. and are firmly convinced
"if the sround-hog sees his shadow
on Candlemas Day there will be six
weeks more of winter Down here in
Florida. we believe there are no
ground-hogs-- probably owing to
the fact that il one comes here he
finds the seasons 50 topsy-turvy he
doesn't know when TO begin his win
ter's sleep, and also To his inability
to get a job as weather prophet in
a country where the sun is almost
sure to shine on Candlemas Day or
any other day.

We like to hear the sound of the
bell which has been installed at the
Lakeland school. We remember. as
a boy, that all the schools, and GER
tainly all the churches, had bells.
We believe that in our latter-day
super-civiizatiOn bells are consider
ed rural, old-fashiOned, out of date.
Old-fashioned and rural they may be,
but, like many things thus classified.
they have charm that appeals to
most of us. Who does not remember
the bells of their childhood home?
In taking away the bells from
churches and schools we are elimi-
mating some of the sweetest memo
rios from the lives of tomorrow s
men and women The Miami Her
aid, whose comments on this subject
are reproduced in another column,
has the right idea.

JEFFERSON COUNTY FOR ROBIN.
 SON.

If any of the skeptical ones imag- inc that Jefferson county is not in the Robinson column good and strong they might call at the office of the editor of the Graphic and look over some letters that have been address ed to him as secretary of the Jeffec- son County Robinson Club reviewing the political situation, insofar as the gubernatorial race is concerned, from magistrates and others in prac- tically every voting precinct in tn $ county The letters are from men who know the sentiment throughout their respective townships and they indicate that Robinson will get at least 97 per cent of the vote in the rural districts of the county. Pine Bluff will go almost solid for Robin : son and it is not believed that Cover nor Donaghey will poll two hundred votes in this county, including the very few votes that he may get in this city. The letters show that the people of this county do not favor a third term for Governor Donaghey not mentioning the complaint that is being made about his failures as a chief executive. The Robinson sent,- ment is growing every day and by March 27, when the ballots are to be cast, Donaghey will not have enough votes to worry the Robinson support CTS. It looks like Joe Robinson vii score one of the most decisive victor race in Arkansas.

.BOX CAR" DONAGHEY.

The governor has rechristened him. BOX Car" Donaghey. Believing that he is fully justified in wholly aband- oning his former name of George Washington we accept the appela- tion, anl think that the sobriquet is an apt and appropriate one, inasmuch as one of the characteristics of box car is that it is generally empty.
 The indigent deaf mutes of Arkan- sas, through the Legislature, appeal ed to the state for a small appropria. tion with which to buy needed clothes SC they might attend the State lnsti- tuition provided for them, and it WAS granted by the legislature, but when the "box car' which should have ae. livered the goods arrived, it was found to be empty. They also asked for milk COWS so that they might know that their milk was pure and wholesome, and the legislature said "yes,'' but, as before, the "bcX car, y OH arrival, was empty.
 When the victims of the white plague appealed for more necessities the legislature loaded it into the box car, but when it arrived the box car again was empty.

GEORGE STOVALL IS TRADED
Former Manager of Cleveland Ameri- cans Goes to St. Louis Browns
 in Exchange for Pitcher.

Manager Davis of the American league club announced he had traded First Baseman George Stovall to the St. Louis club for Pitcher Lefty" George.
 Stovall managed the Cleveland team last year after the resignation of Man. ager Jim Mcclure, and piloted it to third place in the race. Stovall bat ted .271 and fielded .986 last year.
 The announcement of the trade came as big surprise to many fans. It is one deal that came as the result of the American league schedule meet ing in Chicago. The deal was sup posed to be in the making, but all efforts to get any information were met by the answer: "The trade has fallen through"
 George Stovall has been on the block for barter ever since Harry Davis attached his signature to coh- tract to manage the Maps. Stovall's great popularity after he had brought the Maps from sixth place to third in a few months as manager and the inn probability of his playing as regular hastened his disposal.
 With Lajoie playing first and Davis for substitute there was no place for the former Nap manager.
 George Stovall is still one of the best fielding first basemen in the American league. He led the league in 1909 in the number of assists for
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-03-15

first seekers. He is considered one Of the brainiest and trickiest infielders in the game. He probably will play as a regular for the Browns while Kutina, who made a good showing the last part of the season, may be shifted to a different position.
 Stovall was found in the Texas league by Ted Sullivan. He comes of a baseball family and loves the game for the games sake.
 Lefty" George has been with the St. Louis Browns for one season and a part of another. He was heralded as a sensation when he came to the club, but poor health interfered with his playing. Harry Davis considers him a pitcher of considerable prom ise. He will aid Vean Gregg, the great Nap southpaw, as port sider on the Nap pitching staff.
