weevil is also party responsible, for the anti-F'ree Bridge movement. The boil weevil has never done any great damage in this county and there is absolutely no danger of the insect harming he crop the coming season. Practically all of the farm CTS of this county have followed the advice of the government experts iii fighting the boil weevil and they are doing it successfully. Jefferson county has never failed to make it's share of the crop, except ill ex- treme bad years and when it fails the whole South fails. It has the reputation of being the best cotton grow ng c9umty in the world and any false statements that might have tendency to prejudice persons who are not familiar with conditions here, will not hold water when a personal investigation is made. As
 
 from the present h.gh water, the tatement hardly needs contradic- ton. Everybody in Arkansas knows that the government work here in 1908 and 1909, after the river got in it's work on the South bank, mad 4he river front as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar and high waters are hardly noticed here.
 Mr Oracle denies the statement made in the Graphic that more than one half of those attending the Tax payers meeting here were negroes. He says that the meting was at. tended by more than 800 represen- tative landowners ill Jefferson eoun= ty." A Graphic representatives Ill order to make an absolutely fair statement of the gathering, roughtly counted the men and women who were present and it will adm that there were about 125 representative white men and women present at thE mestine. but the remaining three hundred or more We're negroes, who N ere brought here from the country districts to swell the antl-Bfldge meeting. The Graphic believes in fa rnesS, both to the Bmdge Gomnlis- sioners and the Taxpayers Prote" tive Association, but it would no' knowingly misstate the facts to prejudice either side or favor eitheF side
 The Free Bridge people are largely in the majority in this county. The Graphic believes that the Free Bridge will be of inastimable value not alone to Pine Bluff and it's people, but to every man, woman and child in Jefferson and ajoining coun- ties and will serve to enhance fhe value of every tract of land and city and town lot throughout South cas- Arkansas.

 IT PAYS TO BE FAIR

Attorney Asa Oracle, who repre- sents the Taxpayers Protective AS sociation in legal way and appar- ently in the newspapers, does Pine Bluff and Jefferson county a great injustice in an interview given out Gs Little Rock yesterday, in which he attempts to defend the action of the anti-Free Bridge and generally anti-tax paying organization chat recently met in this city for the pur- pose of raising fund to fight the improvement district which must be creafed before the contract for the Free Bridge is let.
 Mr. Oracle is not even fair in his statements relative to the crop con ditions of this county and goes so far as to declare that Pine, Bluff $ at this time in danger because of the present high water in the Arkan- sas MT. Oracle ought to be fair. No enc will cepsure any man for having an opinion that does not coincide with that of hs neighbor, but good fighter is one who is fair and who is willing 10 state facts and fig- ures correctly at all times.
 Mr. Oracle would injure- the county in which his fathers interests are heav est and which has been eS, ceptionally good to all of his people and others of the Taxpayers as soeiation, by false representation and misstatements just to make an unfsir point He attributes the op- position to the Free Bridge to the prospects of the poorest crop ever known i'll Jefferson county" He knows this statement is absolutely " thout foundation. The farmers, t is irus. have done very little farm work as yet, owing to unfavorabia weather conditions, bnt the same condition exists in every other coun- ~ in the state and if anything, Jef- ferson county planters have plowed mere ground and planted more acrfage than those of any other county in the state al this time. and 11any Qrad et thzs the delay will bs

THINK THE "HELLO GIRLS"

The "heiIo girls" in the Southwest efn central offices over the state are deserving of much praise for the e&- aeI1ent service rendered the people of Arkansas en last Wednesday night, Thursday and Thursday night, when they gathered from every little col ner in the state the election returns and within a few hours after the polls tad been closed in every ward and township in Arkansas enabled the newspapers 10 public practically the complete returns, giving every inter- ested person the result of each con- tesf.
 Ordinarily the telephone girls gets little credit for her work, but the Graphic cannot lose this opportunity to commend them for their valuable service The systematic manner in which the Southwestern company handled the service is also deserving of special mention. Tile Graphic .nd all of the other metropolitan pa pers in the state c9-operated with the telephone company in it's efforts to compile the returns and with the aid 5f the judges and clerks and the off, eals of the various centlal commit ees, the work was well done.
 The election service was an innova- ton i'll this state and notwithstand- .ng it was the first trial of the big company ill Arkansas the re=H1ts were .aest satisfactory. The telephone girls Were accommodating and prompt and tie Graphic believes in biting the outside world know that without them lhe good work could not have been done.
