Good Highways.

a long S[retcN or improved
road is one Of the best adver-
tiselneuts a State can have.
1t attracts a class Of tourists
who are able and willing TO
pay for entertainment. 1t
brings investors who are look
ing for advantageous loca-
tons. 1t induces agricultural
investigation and consequent
immigration and investment,
not only along the line Of the
road, but ia other accessible
sections. It changes, by the
sheer force Of publicity, back
ward localities into progress
sive ones, enhances values
and brings into general notice
resources which had only
been known locally; or, il
known, not appreciated.
The advantages which such
stretches Of main roads cause
to accrue are advantages
which affett the entire state
as we'll as the localities them
selves. It should, therefore
be assumed as a principle that
such main roads should be
built, III whole or in part, by
the State, that their manage
ment and maintenance should
be in the hands of the state
authorities.
The age is progressive. Fiji
ty or sixty years ago this coun
try began TO build railroads,
and now we have more than
nearly all the rest OF the
world together. In place Of
crude industrial facilities, we
have the very best on earth;
vet we are behind other civil
lied nations in the improve
ment of our roads. We are
beginning now to do with our
high ways what should have
been done long ago.
There is a phase Of the road
question which is State wide
ii its application. That re
[ates to the through lines
which accommodate through
traffic. TO leave the construc
lion and care Of these roads in
the hands of local authorities
must result IN uneven and
,nharmonious construction,
gaps, and dosul
DRY care, INVOLVING practical
" a failure of such roads, for
| standard of utility.
A highway is longer OF pure
= local interest. Every citl
zen Of aState is interested in
he roads Of that State under
present traffic conditions, and
especially in those roads
which connect centers Of popu
alton. --Crowley Signal.

Why Was The Torras
Crevasse not Closed?

Mr.. JUS j. LaBarrs well
known citizen, paIker aud
lumber man, vrit to the
Times-Democrat recently, de-
plores the action Of the States
and Federal engineers is not
attempting to close the Tor
ras Creyasse, which has food
ed eight parishes, aud caused
loss that canno, be estima-
ted at this time. The Torras
wafer has flooded some Of the
richest sugar estatesin Pointe
| Coupee, West Baton Rouge,
Iberyille, st. Mary, st. Mar
tin, Iberia. Assumption and
thousands Of small planters
throughout this section OF the
State.
Most people will agree with
Mr.. Iabarre when. he says:
"Io say at least, it is crimi-
nal to have allowed the river
to run without even All at
tempt toward checking it I'M
til it is il. a fair way Of des-
troyin9 10 per cent OF the
wealth of our state, fora year
at least, and rendering tempo
rarily destitute about 5 per
cent Of our population. When
the crevasse broke it was
small and only drawing
seven or eight feet of water.
Now it is taking nearly half
as much water as the AtCha-
fal IVA, or as much, and pour
ing it through a long section
of country dyked off at three
different places by railroad
entertainments, mcandering
with the assistance OF many
drainage canals into every
piece Of lowland in it's path"
If the residents Of the diff
ferent parishes had been lull-
ed into a sense Of security by
the reports sent out that the
water would cause q little
dammage and would quickly
find its way out to the Gulf
through the Atchafalaya
swamps, there would have
been a delegation OF a thou
men from each parish men,
toned above calling on the
engineers to Immediately
check the 1orras Crevasse.
The water was slow reaching
most of the parishes, but
since last week it has been
steadily rising, and each day
promising cane and corn crops
have Eeen flooded.
In Assumption from her
vile to st. Mary, on the right
descending bank Of Bayou
Lafourche, thousands of acres
of cane and corn have
been submerged. The water
in some cases backing up to a
mile from the Bayou Lafour-
che levee. Assumption Pho

Chicago July 23.-More than $2,- o00,000 worth ofo jewels were import ed to Chicago in 1911. This comment ary on prospcrcity came to light af- ter the report of the Treasury De- pertinent was made public. The report
 utates that more than $41, ,0O0yO00 worth Of jewels came into the United States during the last year. Mrs. Samuel Insult, wife of the president of the Commonwealth Edison Com pany, is said to possess the rarest and most valuable collection of gems in Chicago Her collection is esti- mated at being worth from $S00,OO0 to S1,000,000. Among the other well known society women of this city whose jewelry collections are worth in the neighborhood of $500,000 are Mrs, Potter Palmer, Mrs. Hobart Chat field-Taylor, Mrs. George F. Pullman, Mrs, Harold Mccormick, Mrs. J. Og- den Armour and several others. The rivalry which has sprung up between these women has become so heated in their search for rare jewels that all are said to have standing commits sions placed with Eastern jewellers to watch out for the purest and most lustrious diamonds imported to this country.

SAD DEATH OF A
 POPULAR YOUNG LADY
Miss En0la Carmical Succumbs After Lengthy Illness-Selected Her
 Own Pail Bearers.

Miss Enola Carmical, eldest daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. W. A. Carmlcal of Eighteenth avenue and Plum street, died yes erday morning a. ) o'clock after a long illness of tuberculosis. She spent several months in sanl- tar um at Asheville, N. C., in hopes or benefitting her failing health, but af- ter she showed no improvement re- turned to this city and has been con- fined to her bed ever since.
 A touching feature of her illness was her realization that she could not live long but with this knowledge she was always cheerful and several weeks ago named those whom she wished to act as pail bearers and the 'pastor to conduct her funeral. She also selected her burial dress. The only regret she had, it is said, was that she would have to part from her loving relatives and friends. She was devout Christian and an enthus- iastic member of the Lakeside Metho- dist church. By her loving dispos!- ton and many accomplishments she won the hearts of many who have been made sad by her death.
 Miss Carmical was born in Cleve- land county but had lived in Pine Bluff practically all her life She is survived by her parents, MT. and Mrfl w. A. Carmical two brothers, Horace and Wesley, and two ssters, Miss Mary and Mrs. Steve Grace. All re- side in this city except Mrs. Grace, who is resident of Memphis.
 The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from the family residence and will be con- ducted by Rev. T. o. Owen, of Cam den. assisted by Rev. J. l.. Cannon, pastor of Lakeside church. The fol- lowng will be pal bearers: H. E. Monk, Lonnie Macon, Fred Vining, James Vinscn, Harry Miller and Cliff Reeves. Interment will be at Bell wood cemetery.

RIVER EXCURSIONS
 WERE BIG SUCCESS
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS REALIZE NICE SUM FOR ORPHANS HOME
 ON STEAMED AT PICNIC.
Many Took Advantage of Days Fea- lures and Moonlight Ride On
 River Also Popular.

The two excursions yesterday on the Steamer J. Frank Hicks, under the auspices of the local lodge, Knights of Columbus, for the benefit of the Orphans Home at Little Rock were most successful and large num- bers crowded the decks of the lattle steamer and barge when it left the Ian ding in the morning and again in the evening.
 Those who attended the day picnic were taken to Hicks Park, several miles up the river, where they en- jeyed picnic dinner. An orchestra furnished music all day and the event was a most delightful one.
 The evening trip was in the nature of a moonlight boat ride and dance, and a much larger crowd was in at tendance. The evening was most delightful one for the trip and it was thoroughly enjoyed by every one
 Quite large number of tickets were sold and neat sum was realiz- ed which will go to the fund for the support of the Orphans Home, a charitable institution conducted by the Catholic church in Arkansas. At present there are 12S children in the institution, 50 of Catholic parentage and 6S of other faiths.

SIX NEGROES IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT
MACHlNE WAS STOLEN BY NEGRO DRIVER AND EVERY OCCU.
 PANT WAS INJURED.
One Negro Woman Sustains Broken Leg and Negro Man Par
 italy Scalped.

Six negro speed maniacs, riding in fiye-passenger Buick car, that was stolen out of the garage of the Pine. Bluff Auto Company, shortly before three o'clock yesterday morning by Warren 12rowI, a negro helper en- ployed there, came to grief one mile east of Sulphur Springs an hour lat CT, when the automobile was ditched and all of the occupants of the car thrown out and injured. The police are looking for Brown, who sustained slight but not serious inju1ies, aid the will be prosecuted if apprehended. City Detective MeBurnett is working on the case and after viewing the wrecked car on the Springs road yes- terday morning, he declared that it is a miracle that the half dozen blacks were not killed.
 Carrie Green, one of the three ne- gro women in the party, had an arm broken, and the two others, Eleanora Johnson and Maggie Perkins, sus- tained injuries that will keep them laid up for repairs for several days. Willie Chambliss. the negro porter who recently paid fines and was re- leased from jail after confessing that he had stolen money from the Grand 1 Leader, was also injured and Rich ard Moore, the third male of the sex tette, had his leg badly hurt, Cham bliss was partially scalped when his head collided witt the ealth. 1t is said that the machine was beinG driven by Brown at about forty miles an hour.
 The three women and three rcn l lof ic shortly after 9 clock and residents of the Stl.,hur Springs road say they raced along the pike at dangerous ] speed during the hour they were n car. When they prepared to return to Pine Bluff Brown, who was pilot ing the car, let her go at the Springs and when they reached point one mile East of the summer resort the car swerved to the right of the road and jumped ditch as it turned to it's side. The car did pot turn complete ly over, but the negroes were spilled in a heap in the ditch, free of the ma chine. The auto was hadly damaged, TWO of the wheels being demolished and other parts of the big car wreck ed. The damage is estimated at abaut $25O The Pine Bluff Auto Company asked for the arrest of Brown yesterday morning, after be- 1 ing informed of the accident.
 Residents of the Springs saw the wrecked car on their way to Pine
 Bluff yesterday morning and as there was a pool of blood on the ground near it, they feared that some we'll known autoist had been serious ly hurt, until informed of the wild ride of the negroes later. The wound ed negroes were brought to their home in this city in carriage at day light.
 Brown is said to be hiding out to avoid arrest, but the officers are sure i they will capture him within the next few hours.
