MIR. WH|TEST0NE MAKES STATEMENT. Says Retirement as Director and General Manager of
 Packing Company
 Voluntary. HE SAYS TT IS A GO Will Continue to Develop Live Stock Industry and Make Pine Bluff
 His Home.
HE SAYS IT IS A GO

In discussing his retirement from the Arkansas Packing Company as director and general manager, after lie ana lis associates had made the great enterprise possible through un> tiring efforts, Simon Whitestone yes- .erday gave out the following inter- view to the Graphic:
 My resignation as a director ana general manager of the Arkansas Packing Company was entirely vol untary upon my part, and due entirely to there being no longer any necessity, for my being identified with the pack ing house proper. It was never my intention to be associated with tho management in anyway. My work IS that of the promoter and inasmuch as progressed so far in my undertak- ing as to be able to place it in the lands of a board of director composed of the most influential business men in the state, as well as the city, an assurance that the packing plant is to be built and with the board of direc- tors about to select competent man for the position of general manager for this plant, I felt that the time was at hand for me to retire and to place the matter of the packing house en- tigely in the hands of those who would be interested in it's future maintain ance and development, my originai idea and desires hei1g accomplished, hence my resignation.
 That it has taken considerable work and great deal of money from my associates and myself to make possible this great achievement cannot be denied .. The live stock possibili- ties of Arkansas was brought to the attention of the United States through our efforts ond as result Pine Bluff has enjoyed much merited advertisins. and I have the satisfaction of feeling that these things were made possible through my efforts. I wish to say that the success of the undertaking is due to very great extent to the CO., operation Of the Chamber of Com merce as 9 whole with me in this great development. Likewise the bankers, composing the Clearing House Association of this city, and to the loyal support of the citizens of the city of Pine Bluff. Owing to the heavy floods of the spring. the threatened boil. weevil rayages, presidential year and uncer- tainty of crops, the fiscal agency had

COACH 1. E. BASSETT
 HAS RETURNED HOME
ISSUES CALL FOR FOOTBALL PRACTICE AT HIGH SCHOOL
 THIS AFTERNOON
Prospects Are Bright For Team This Year and the Coach Is En-
 thuSiaStic.

Leonard E. Bassett, member of the Pine Bluff High School faculty and football coach returned to this city yesterday afternoon from his home at Cambridge, Md, where he spent his summer vacation.
 Coach Bassett immediately issued a call for the candidates for the 1912 football team to be present at the grounds at the rear of the High School this afternoon for practice. A number Of the 1911 team members have been doing light work With the pigskin but the return of the coach is the signal for active work
 Pine Bluff High will have a much better team this year, according to MT. Bassett, who is enthusiastic over the prospects. The local school put out good team last year, consider ing the green timber with which the coach had to fashion an aggressive machine.
 Twelve members of the 1911 team will return to school this year and these players will form the founda- ton for an aggregation that is eX- pected to make a great showing. Sev- eral football stars who have had con- siderable experience in other schools are contemplating entering the local High School when it opens Septem Der 16, and these in addition to the regulars of last year will give Pine Bluff a team that will make it inter- esting for several teams that walked over them last year because of the lack of experience,
 The following members of last years team will return to school this year and are counted upon as candi- dates: Albright, Mcintyre, Fletcher. Allen, Johnson, Sorrells, Christopher, D. and T. Lyle, G. and J. Sloan and Saunders.

 Ages of the Earth.

A French Scientist informs IS that the earth may be 70G,0o0,000 years old, although other scientists have never dared to estimate the age of our planet at more than 100,0a0.000 years. We would become vitally in- terested in this matter if it were not for the fact that it would be just as hard as ever to stay in the earth, even if we were to establish proof of the correctness of the French scientists es- timate.
