POULTRY HANGERS
 MEET SATURDAY
Committee Will Be Appointed to Work
 Out Details for Big State Show.

The Jefferson County Poultry Asso- citation will hold a special meeting Sat- urday evening at 7:30 at the assemh- ly hall in the Chamber Of Commerce offices at which matters of interest to the poultry raisers will be discussed.
 The plan of having one big show in which all the associations in the state participate, has been we'll received by members of all the different county as- sociations in Arkansas and at the meeting Saturday night a committee will probably be appointed for the pur- pose of meeting committees from the other organizations and working out the plan in detail. The holding of one big show, local poultrymen say, will eliminate expense necessary to trans port the birds to different cities, pre- serve health of the chickens and each fancier will have the opportunity of winning a larger number of cups as the cups that have been offered by the different associations will be pooled and awarded at the big show.

GOING AFTER
 BIG LEAGUE TEAM
Secretary Sparkling Will Make Effort to Have White S0x Team
 Train Here.

If the officials of the Citizens Light and Transit Company will fix the base ball grounds the Chamber of Con- merce will make an effort to bring one of the major league clubs to Pine Bluff for spring training. Three of the major league clubs, which have been doing their training in Texas towns, have ben barred by the epidemic of meningitis now prevalent in that state and as all other choice cities for the spring work have been taken the thre e big teams will have to stay at home. The bringing of one of these teams lo Pine Bluff would be big boost to the city as thousands of fans in this sec tion would come to the city every day to see them work out. The Chi cago White SoX will be the team that will be offered the use of the city as q big bunch of newspaper men accom- pany this team on their preseason trip and Pine Bluff would be given a lot of of advertising. J. H. Allen, sec retary of the stret car company, has been out of the city for several days and as soon as he returns Secretary Spaulding will take the matter ap with him.

LABOR AGENT
 MADE 10 LEAVE ALTHEIMER PLANTERS GIVE HIM PREFERENCE OF HEMP ROPE yR A RAILROAD TRAIN 
AND HE TOOK LATTER
Many Negro Farm Hands Are Missing
 Visitor Said To Be From <. Osceola, Ark.

According to story told by trav- cling man who was ill the city yester- day, a man from Osceola, Mississippi county, by :. the name of Meyers Was met by crowd of prominent planters as he came out of bank at Altheim- CT yesterday and told that he must leave town or take chance of wear ing a hemp necktie. It is said that MT. Meyers immediately boarded a train which was standing at the stat ion and came to Pine Bluff.
 Ever sine 's cotton crop was tlar- vested last sG.As which, by the way was very sA.~< in the Aitheimer dis trict, a numSs,S of planters from Mis- sissippi county have S- busy, it is said, creating discontent among the negro laborers and as result no less than 75 families have left the Altheim- CT planters, to whom they Were l4, debt, and gone to different plantations near Osccola.
 The plantation owners were not aware until recently that their labor was being entic I'd to leave them by promises If higher wages and better treatment, which, added to the poor cotton crop, was the cause of the ex- Sodus of the workers in the cotton )fields from the vicinity of Altheimer. In most cases the negroes were henv- fly in debt to the land owners and af- ter the negroes had gone there was no recourse for the plantation owner but to get more labor.
 The continued exodus of the negroes greatly incensed them. however. and tho climax came when twelve of them warned the white man to get out of AL theimer and stay out. It is said that one of the most prominent ciizens of the county, and one who took lead ing part in the recent primary in this county, was srokesmen for the land owners.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS TO MAINTAIN A BUREAU THAT
 WILL SAVE MONEY.
TO SYST EM ATIZE TT
All Advertising Schemes Must Have the Endorsement of That Body
 to Get Patronage.

"A feature of the Chamber of Com- merce work which will De given care- irl attention just as soon as the pre- mlnary work of organization is con- pie {, will be the department devoted to the interests of the retail merch- ants,' remarked the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce to the Graphic man yesterday. Nothing speaks bet ter for community than prosperous lot Of retail stores and that is a con- dition well nigh impossible without organization and cooperative effort"
 The foundation stone of the retail merchants bureau is a carefully com- piled and intelligently handled credit rating list as compiled from the books Of the various members and supple mented by information received from other cities and sources. This system and as great a protection to him as to the merchant and prevents the sy5- tematic imposition upon merchant, who do credit business such as is practiced in Pine Bluff and every oth CT community that is not closely or ganized.
 Coupled with the rating system q bulletin will be issued to all members giving weekly information of char acter which will be of direct benefit to them, chronicling the arrival of new people in the city. their place of abode. the removal of people to new address ses or cities, pointing out the vari- ous schemes that are being foisted up- on the merchants from time to time. not the least of which is the giving of bad or no fund checks which are so expensive to many merchants who &C., commodate strangers and others.
 All members will be urged to refer all advertising propositions to the Chamber of Commerce and insist that a written endorsement be secured be. fore placing any advertising in any, thing except regular publication. With this end in view cards will be issued for window and desk purposes setting forth the fact that all advertis. ing propositions must be endorsed be. fore presentation. One program tha past week cost the merchants $1O1 though some of the members saved their money by asking for and en- dorsement which was of course denied. This feature alone will save every merchant several times the amount of his dues during the year.
 The assembly room of the new Chamber of Commerce Quarters is now receiving the attention of the paint CTS and as soon as this is done and the room furnished general meeting of the retailers will be called to discuss matters of interest to all, this to be followed at once by meetings of the various lines of trade to discuss the matters pertinent only to their case. Thus the grocers will have an evening, the dry goods, shoe and clothing men another, the druggists, stationers and other kindred lines another, till all of them will have gone over the question fully and then it will be a compar,- l lively short time before an effective bureau which can be relied upon for aid and information at all times can be perfected.
