 CITY PARK HERE
Secretary of the Y. M. (. A. Says People of Pine Bluff Should Not
 Stop Until They Get One.

The boys did remarkably well at the field day according to Secretary Ehrensberger, of the Y. M. c. A., who saw the whole event. This is cer- tainly move in the right direction. Our board of education also mani fested their interest in helping faith. fully in the contest. "Efficiency is the cry of the day." said MT. Ehrens- berger, ''This has reference largely to mental education, but we ae larn- ing that physical training is engaging the attention of educators as never before. There are many colleges to- day who make physical training com pulsory for the first two years. Our boys demonstrated that there is mighty good stuff in them. Let the parents encourage their boys to con. tinue to develope along the physical as we'll as educational lines. Pine Bluff is coming fast to the front ranks of the Southern cities and it is hop ed that the agitation for park may eliminate into something tangible.
 'The boys did very well considering the place they had to run off the events. A first class park with a good half mile running track and a baseball diamond in the center would help matters materially. Let us set our hopes on a park and do not let us rest until Pine Bluff can boast of it.''

WHAT MONTICELLO
 COTTON MILL IS DOING
IS NOW ON X PAYING BASIS AND GIVES EMPLOYMENT TO
 15O PERSONS.
Used 4,0GO Bales of Drew County
 County Cotton Last Year Supplies sDucking.

In view of the interest taken by some of citizens in the establishment of a cotton mill at this point. Secre- tary, H. G. Spaulding, of the Cham Der of Commerce, took pans to lnves- tigate the cotton mill at Monticello last week while a guest of that city. The facts pertaining to the mill are interesting at this time.
 The Monticello mill was built by a promoter several years ago, fine brick building constructed and fill ed with obsolete or worn out ma chinery. The result was that it was operated at loss and it's stock fell to a low figure Both preferred and common stock was issued and two bond issues were made before it was put into competent hands.
 A practical mill man >was finally employed and new machinery was installed almost throughout. The mill was put to work on a class of stuff that was profitable and care and judg- ment exercised in it's management with the result that several years of the back interest on the preferred stock has been paid and the bond issues are being taken up. The mill may now be said to be in prosper ous condition.
 The plant and equipment as it now stands represents an investment of approximately $3O0,000 and at times working capital of $2OO,0OO is re- quired and at all times from $10,000 upwards in material is the process of manufacture The number of hands employed varies hut approximates 15O, all work being piecework and the earnings running from $1 to $3 a day for ten hours. Many people of the employment are women and girls with quite number of boys and men.
 The company owns and rents the tenant houses situated near the mill to the employees, mostly families who have come in from the country. anu both parents and children work in the mills. About 4.e0O bales of Drew county cotton are used each year, being manufactured into ducking which is sold principally in Arkan-

WASHINGTON NOW HAS A HORSE SHOW Exhibit Last Week Wins For Capital Place Among Horse Show Centers. HISTORY IS GIVEN "Clean City" Has Undergone Varied Experiences in Horse Show
 Line.
HISTORY IS GIVEN
(By SIDNEY EPSEY)

Washington, May 1q-Although Washington is on the border of one of the finest horse countries in the world, the national capitol has had a to struggle had to establish strong, important horse show here. This aim finally has been accomplished, however, and the National Capitol Horse Show, Incorporated, is now a fixture. On May 3, 4, 5, 6 and z, the third annual horse show, under the auspices of the new organization, was held here and this exhibition clinch ed WashingtOn's claim to membership ln the broad sisterhood of horse show centers
 With the prolific horse breeding region of Virginia immediately ad- ]acent to Washington, and with the blue grass plains of Kentucky not far removed, the national capitol, it would seem, should be rich in horseflesh ana its residents absorbed in the sub Pect' But for some reason, the capi- al city. has had difficulty inestablish- hg a we'll patronized horse show aany attempts have been made to tlmulate interest in the sport and Pany of them have failed.

 the horse. There were a number
 tracks in the vicinity of the capitol
 which horses were brought from
 ny states One of the most 4npular o}tne early tracks was at suburb wn as Jackson City. Jackson cnF is no more. With the decline of racing, the "city" lost it's identity and some of the buildings which had been

erected were. pulled down. Jackson City was at the Virginian end of the famous Long Bridge over which the federal troops advanced to the Bat tie. of Bull Run and over which they again retreated from that same en- gagement. The Long Bridge was de- molished and replaced iby railway bridge for the heavy traffic which traversed it when the race tfack lies at the other end.
 Benning race track was establish ed not long ago and while it was operated, was tremendously the vogue It undoubtedly was the most widely renowned track in the vicinity of Washington, horses coming to it's regular spring and falls meets from nearly every stable in the East Bu, the glories of Benning Race Track are faded Its huge steel grand stand is rusting away and grass grows thickly in the course.
 About twenty years ago Benjamin F. McCaulty, prominent horseman of Washington, established the first show here. It was arranged for with precision and nothing was lack ing to make it famous affair. It was an indoor affair, held in the big Convention Hall, which covers two entire city blocks. The second floor was utilized for the show, the stock being raised in elevators. Straw and tan bark covered the convention hall floor and elaborate seating arrange ments were made. Entries were re- ceived from many big horsemen and it looked as if the show were destin- ed to be success.
 But on the opening night all the clements, it seemed, conspired against the promoters and torrents of rain fell, half gale of wind blew and the temperature dropped.

But there were no gaudily dressed women, no society leaders, no debutantes to give the show color, and, of course there were no box office receipts to amount to anything. From the viewpoint of stock shown and stables represented by animals in the ring, the show was a success, but horses may be the best in the world, yet if there be but few pat rons to see them, their showing pro- yles a failure. The show dragged feebly out for two or three days Many of the classes were dispensed with The rain and the wind and the temperature were against the show Owners of valuable horses, who had paid hundreds of dollars in freight and other expenses to get their anl, mals to Washington and entered ir s

none came to witness their steede' prancing and so the project fell flat. There was long pause in horse show enthusiasm for Washington.
 About years ago George F. Oyster, Clarence Moore, who was lost on the Titantic, and few other local horse men strove to establish a horse show here. They sent out prize lists and got some entries, most of them Wash ington horses. The show was held on the White Lot, which is not an in closure and there was no way in (which admission could be charged. The show was an interesting affair. but being expensive, did not pay. The spirit of the horse shoe Jagged aga in.
 Then, in the fall of 1910, Melvin c. Hazen, an official of the District government, interested himself in the horseshow movement in Washing. ton. He put on show at the Wash ington Baseball Park, making sure to get President Taft and prominent society people to attend. He work ed hard, and in spite of the black eye Washington had as horse show city, he obtained the entry of good horses. Good weather smiled on the attempt and the show was a success.
 The following spring MT. Hazen de- termined to carry his success fur ther. He enlisted the support of Maj Gen. Lonard Wood, chief of staff of the Ahmy, of Mai Henry T. Allen. General Staff, U. $. A. of Edward R.. McLeanfi of William P. Enc, of Aur- thur D. Addison, Charles Mullikin, Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island, Senator Watson, of West Virginia and hundred more millionaire con- nected with the official and social life of Washington who also are in terested in the breeding and showing of horses.
 The National Capitol Horse Show Incorporated, was organized and opened, early in May 1911, three f day show. Horses were shown from the New England States from as far South as Georgia, from as far West as the Mississippi River. They came in hundreds and every class was fill ed. Good weather prevailed, the Pre- sident attended, the best judges in the horse show game judged the horses and the affair and the great est success of any horse show ever held here.
 i In May 1912 the success was repeat ed. and at this years show appeared l l the the nest renowned animals in tire United States. Washington has had hard sledding in the matter of horse shows, but in the opinion of exhi- bitors and managers it is now assured l as an annual event.

Railroad with the Illinois Central
Railroad is threatened. Attorney Cen

a bill in chancery at Clarkdale, Goa

The merger violates the state anti

parallel and competing lines, and be-
cause the Illinois Central Railroad
owns the capital stock Of the Valley

prohibiting the owning by one cor
