BRUNDIDGE VS.. HAYS.

We DO net know anything about the
merits of the Bundridge charge of
fraud in other counties, but as for his
charge OF fraud against Bradley Coun-
ty, his charges are false and his in
fOrmantS are mistaken. No one in
this county took enough interest in
the election to think of committing a
fraud. Ever since Judge Brown charg-
ed the judges and clerks of this coun-
ty with defrauding him out of 100
votes, this county has been the object
Of attack by those who are dissatisfi-
ed with election returns. The Demo-
GRAFT News speaking for the Democrat
ic party of the county resents such ac-
cusations. If Brundidges charges
against other counties are groundless
as are the charges against this cOun-
ty, he deserves to go down in defeat.
And, unless the proof is positive that
Hays people committed fraud in other
counties, regardless of what the State
Central Committee does, the demo-
Gratis OF the state should elect Hays
governor. There will be a blank
space on the ballot where Hays name
can be written, and others scratched
off, and Hays vote will be counted
Let us hope that the voters will not
have to resort to that makshift.
Brundige says he is making this
contest for the good of the democratic
party. The fact of the business, the
old-line politicians are behind Brund-
idge and they have failed to elect
their man, and they are not willing
to turn loose without resorting to
the last means. Brundidge posed be-
fore the campaign as the peoples
candidate, but he was the political
ringsters' candidate and the people
found it out in time to nominate the
| other man, and ii the election had
been two weeks later Hays would
have defeated him two to one. Those
old slick experienced politicians in
! Little Rock and in other parts OF the
state hate to give up. Brundidge may
be all right himself, but he has a
beautiful bunch of political hucksters
and tricksters manipulating his poll
tical interests. Brundidge is sore"
because OF his numerous political de-
feats; that's his fault. Brundidge is
actuated by the same feeling that
\ Roosevelt had when he organized his
! Bull Moose party. Roosevelt rather
|; chose TO wreck the republican party
i than see Taft reelected. Brundidge
had rather wreck the Democratic
party than see Hays elected At least,

UnINE BLUFF
ROGRESS
ROSPERITY
PINE BLUFF A SHIPPING CENTER

Pine Bluff is gradually but surely
coming into its own
Actual facts and figures do not lie.
It's Importance as commercial center
IS being more fully demonstrated
every day. 1t no longer plays a sec
ond fiddle to Little Rock or any other
Southwestern city in the matter OF
drawing trade from neighboring ter
ritories.
LOCAL merchants and shippers were
amazed during the past week to learn
that this city had surpassed the capital
city in the matter of express ship
ments and in sales within it's own
limits, when compared to those re-
corded by similar concerns in the
largest city OF the state.
1t was necessary for the Cotton
Eelt and Iron Mountain railroads to
furnish four extra express cars to
handle the volume of out going bust
ness at this point on July Fourth. In
addition to these the regular express
service was maintained and the
freight service was taxed during the
past several weeks.
Pine Bluff as shipping point is
attracting much attention nowadays.
Its freight business has grown to
enormous proportions as a result OF
the increased trade being drawn to
this city by local Wholesale concerns.
The Wells Fargo, Express, reports an
unusually heavy business and all To-
cal concerns have been handling the
biggest trade ever experienced here.
The Coca-Cola Bottling Company's
local plant reports that it's Fourth OF
July business was fifty per cent
greater outside of Pine Bluff than
was enjoyed by the Little Rock plant
outside of the capital on that day. and
it exceeded in Pine Bluff the bust
ness done by the Little Rock plant in
Little Rock by fifty per cent The
Fine Bluff Bottling Company's bust
ness has grown SO large that it will
be necessary in short while for that
concern to almost double its capacity.
During the past two weeks this COM
pany has operated it's plant night and
day in order to supply the orders
that have been received from custo-
mers all over this and adjoining
states. This firms business has in
creased 800 per cent in the past few
months.
Local wholesale houses, handling
grain, groceries, packing house pro-
ducts, feed stuffs, dry goods, notions,
farming implements, liquors, In TACT,
those OF every line, are enjoying tn.
largest business in their history.
The retailers also report heavy
business during the past few months.
Several local merchants, who kept
their places OF business open only
half day on the Fourth, declare
that their business exceeded that or
any one day during Christmas week.
Yes, Pine Bluff is coming into It's
own. This city is naturally trade
center. Its business firms are APP
snreciating the value of advertising
ana are now reaping the benefits.
They are determined to go after busi-
negs and when they DO it in the right
way it comes to them. They are tired
Of remaining in the rut and are re-
sisting successfully the efforts OF the
GUINNESS men OF other cities to invade
their trade territory.

New Port of Ceylop,

A deep sea port has recently been
laid out at Colombo, Ceylon, and 1t is
to be ranked among the great ports Of
the world. The work started in 1895.
and the area included within the pro-
tecting jetties is no less than GS5 acres,
which is somewhat more than for the
port of Dover. A vast area had to be
filled In so as to obtain ground for
erecting the storehouses. quays. re-
pair basins and coal docks. The let
ties which protect the port in an al
most continuous belt represent total
Of two miles length Good provision
for the future is seen in the great size
Of the repair basin. this having about
700 feet length. The port has a depth
corresponding to that of the 'Suez ca.
nal, but IL is planned to deepen It to
thirty-six feet upon three-quarters Of
the area. AS to the cost. it Is counted
that the work involved an expense Of
Sl5.0OO.O00, which is not high consider
ing the scope Of the enterprise. The
present tonnage Of the Colombo port is
100000 tons.

LAWN SWEEPING MACHINE.

brlstles of the brush consisted of two
pieces of wood cut to the length of
the old blades and then grooved to at
over the mower axle. They were fas-
tened together on the axle with glue
and nails, after which hole was
drilled through the wood and nxle and
n pin driven in to prevent the finished
brush from turning on the metal axle.
The tufts Of bristles were taken from
a couple Of old brushes, three-six-
teenths inch holes. nine sixteenths inch
deep. were bored into the four sides Of
the wood axle three-fourths inch apart
and the tufts well glued and inserted
In them, then further secured with
wood pegs or wedges. The ends Of the
bristles should just clear the knife on
the mower when they are revolving.
In running this machine over the lawn
the brush will throw the leaves into
the apron at the rear
