MAYOR BLOOMS GOOD WORK

MAYOR BLOOM'S GOOD WORK
 Pine Bluffians are slow to comment favorably on Improvements, for it is d common thing these days for i'm provements to be noticed ill municipal departments, but Mayor Simon Bloom is doing much good work ill street cleaning and street improvement. In recent weeks the new street sweeper h:s been operating in the residential districts and in the downtown dis tricts as well and fine results have been accomplished.
 In another column of the Graphic this morning appears a brief com ment that was made i'll Little Rock yesterday by II! F. Alciatore, section director for the weather bureau at the capital, and who recently visited Pine Bluff He was so favorably inn pressed with the clean and neat ap- pearance of Pine Bluffs streets that he could not help but comment on them when ne returned to HIS nolAe city.
 If there is one thing that makes a good impression on visitors it is clean and attractive thoroughfares. Mayor Bloom is working hard to make good his promise to the people to give them clean city and he is sue ceeding we'll The public ought to appreciate his successful efforts, for it has been some years since Pine Bluffs streets have been cleaned and kept clean. And the Mayor is ac- complaining all this good work with a depleted city treasury and great ly reduced force ill his street depart ment, which adds to his laurels. ...

that he had always carried it--it went to hin even against that wondertu| campaigner Jeff Davis. Then why, to create personal prejudices against the good people of Phillips and to. if possible set the state Ill a turmoil and disrupt the Democratic party. does Colonel Brundidge make such a charge?
 Judge Hays has been fairly nomi- mated. That is admitted by many of Mir. Brundidge's most loyal support CTS. The vote was close and Colonel Brundidge evidently is trying to take advantage of this fact.
 Arkansas has had too much politics already. The people want a rest. They want to give the office to tnl man who wins it and they are going to insist that Judge Hays be declared the nominee that the Democrats of this state may shelve the Bull Moose and Republican candidates at the special election on July 23 Judge Hays made a clean campaign. He spoke kindly of his opponent in Pin Bluff and, we are told, elsewhere. He is ill every way capable of making Arkansas a good governor. The peo- pie do not fancy continuous vaudc- vile of defeated candidate. They want a rest. Let's give It to them.

 ROSPERITY
 
GIVE US X REST.

V. Hays as governor of Arkansas is ad- mitted by the Gazette, which has re- ceiyed all of the returns from the seventy five counties, majority of which are official. The majority givel. the Camden jurist is not as large as was predicted, but it is sufficient to :. overcome any claims of fraud or other unfair methods that might be ad- yanced by the :, Brundidge supporters. The people of Arkansas have endorsed the South Arkansas man and there ought to be on further political aglta tion to the detriment of the Demo- cratic party ill this state.
 Judge Hays is too conscientious to accept nomination if he thought for moment that his majority was tainted with fraud or even tinged with we'll founded insinuations that frau dulent methods had been used to bring about his nomination.
 In Phillips county, where there have been charges of dirty work, , it is but natural for the Brundidge people to claim fraud, especially when they had figured that county in the Brundidge column by majority tha: was not only unreasonable but was impossible in the recent campaign. Dispatches from Phillips county say that the contest for circuit judge had much to do with the falling off of the Brundidge vote ill that county There were suspicious on the part of Judge Simeson Jackson's supporters that White county was going to support Mir Cypert, of Searcy, Colonel Brun- didge's home town, and Jackson $ friends in Phillips resented it at the polls, feeling that their candidate, Judge Jackson, should have the sup port of White county voters. It was this that prompted the small vote for Colonel Brundidge in Phillips. The Hays managers at Little Rock were persistent for weeks that their can didate would carry Phillips county They believed it firmly and they were disappointed when the returns gave Colonel Brundidge sos majority.
 Are the Brundidge supporters jus tified in branding the election officials of Phillips county corrupt simply be- 20 a otlt a a m Why then, in the face of their expect ations that Phillips would be in the Hays column, would not the Hays supporters be justified in making charges of corruption in that county because it did not return a majority for Hays.
 Colonel Brundidge, in his state ment in the Gazette of yesterday. II which he says ''an effort has beeu made to take away from me my right full majority in Phillips county, shows himself to be unappreciativc Oi the loyalty of the Phillips county pec pie who voted for him. They gay, u1Iu d uldyOflty III lHdL county Ol QUO That is a handsome majority in an. ono county in the state and we car see no Justification for his insinua tions, which are reflection on the good people of Phillips county.
 The officials of Phillips county who conducted the election on las Saturday, are high toned men The. have the reputation of at least being honest in elections, and it comes witt poor grace on the part of the gubef material candidate to charge then with dishonesty, especially in the fac' of the loyalty displayed to the Whit county man.

Anent Thanksgivings.

In ancient history days the feast of
Thanksgiving lasted during one phase
of the moon and was sort of harvest
home" festival, which was called the
Feast of Tabernacles. The offerings
which the ancient Hebrews made to
God on this occasion were gold. silver
and precious stuffs, besides laborers to
work upon the rebuilding Of the House
of God. Read the first chapter of Ezra
and you will find that this is so. The
Thanksgiving was an occasion of great
pomp and ceremony. Workers in the
church of God from the head dignitary
to the least among them were clothed
in purple and fine linen and wore gold
en- bands upon their turbans bearing
the inscription, Holiness to the Lord"
They blew great trumpets as a signal,
and all the people gathered together in
the open places of the cities singing
and praieing God and giving thanks.
Moreover, the building received the
name of the builder The Temple of
Zerubbabel, for example, was built by
Zerubbabel under King Cyrus. So the
feast OF Thanksgiving which we OBJ
serve SO joyously today in our homes
and churches and in memory OF good
times" generous harvests, general well
fare in the days of our Puritan fathers,
has been a church festival for many
centuries.-Chri5tian Herald

dies. The bulk of the lime used on
the island is manufactured from mad
reporic stone or reef coral SO mined.
1t is of good quality when made with
care. Procuring the material for ma
king lime would appear to be most
hazardous employment. The reefs
from which the coral rock is taken
are. in the bay fully mile from shore.
Small dugouts are foated over tho
reef and the coral brought up from
the bottom by hooks or grapnels al
tached to poles twelve to fourteen
feet long. The boats are loaded until
but few inches of the sides are
above water. 1t requires both skill
and experience to load the boats with
out upsetting and to land the cargo
without sinking.
