Complaint Men Hold
Important Positions

OOmpAdlHL N4Cn X1UlV hich Sh6oSou
Important Positions. work - the mos,
important positions are never given to
women. This is only partially true
While at present all of the largest
libraries of the country are administered
by men. there is an increasing disposition
to favor women. The largest city library
now under the control of woman is
that OF Minneapolis. in which Miss Gratia
Countryman is responsible for the care
and circulation of over 200.HO books and
the expenditure of an annual income OF
over SO 600 a year. Such position
calls for a considerable amount of ad-
mnistrative ability and financial judy
ment, as well as the professional knoWl-
edge of ordinary library work.
Women have played an important part
in the establishment of the state library
commissions of the country and in Sc
curing appropria tons for library expendi-
lures. The positions filled by women hay
| ing the qualities necessary for this work
have greatly added to the library inter-
estS of the country. The most important
work of this kind has been accredited to
Miss Mary Hannah johnson, as head OF
the Public Library Of Nashville. Tenn.
and Miss Anne Wallace of Atlanta.
These two young women have been cred
tied with having had greater influence
than any others In the development Oi
public library work in the south. Miss
Johnson was instrumental in founding
the Tennessee state library commission,
and the development of travelling libraries
which were sent out to the smaller towns.
The library under her management had
number OF branches and was pro-
gressive in each of its departments.
In Atlanta. Miss Wallace was compelled
to work in much the same way as Miss
Johnson. both having TO depend at the
beginning of their work upon their own
buoyant optimism in securing the neces-
sary funds for its development. In ad-
dition to her other work. Miss Wallace
founded a library school in Atlanta.
which is the only one in the south giving
full training in all the departments of
library work. Both Miss Johnson and
Miss Wallace were great favorites with
Andrew Carnegie. whose aid secured the
present buildings occupied by their re-
spective libraries Both of the ladies
have married lately and received the
wedding gift of thousand dollars which
Mr.. Carnegie seems to take pleasure in
presenting to the girl librarians who for
sake their callings for the matrimonial
altar. Miss Johnson married DR.. Philan-
der P. ClaXton. the United States COM
missioner of education. and in her new
career is interesting herself in the devel-
oIment of the library of that depart
ment, as well in many matters of edu-
cational and civic interest in the National
Capital.

Captain Miner says that the far

instructions of J. A. Evans, state

farms.
"They should pick up all squares"
said Captain Miner, "and pillow often
and shallow. A brush should be tied
to the single tree SO that it will strike
the stalks of cotton, causing the
squares to fall. The pillow, which OPP
crates behind the brush, will cover
them and in this manner the ravages
OF the Boil weevil can be checked"

BIG DRAINAGE DITCH COMPLETED

Stuttgart, July 5.-The Stuttgart
Kings Bayou drainage ditch is finish
ed. The main canal is about thirteen
miles long, and there are about three
miles of good sized laterals. The
cost is approximately $4,000, and
the work of building the dredge hull,
installing the machinery and excavat-
ing the canal has consumed about a
year and half's time. The big ditch
provides better drainage facilities for
the western and southwestern parts
of the city, and thousands of acres
of farm lands, and hundreds OF acres
that have heretofore lain idle have
this year been planted and are in a
fair way to produce abundant crops.
There is some talk OF extending the
canal to Bayou Meto, four and a half
miles further, by direct line. 1t Is
probable that the dredge hull and
machinery will be taken apart and
hauled here on wagons for shipment
to the next place it is used by it's
owners. the Pollard Campbell Dredg-
ing Company. Although it seemed: like
an extensive proposition to dig the
big ditch at first, those who have
watched it and are posted on the sub
ject are highly enthusiastic now over
the benefits already in sight.

Searcy-Jailed After Reach
ing Pine Bluff.

Chief of Police Sam Gardner, OF
Poplar Bluff, Mo-, is expected to ar
rive in this city either today or tomor-
row to take back with him S. ]. Veech,
who was arrested recently by City
Detective C. P. Roebuck on horse
stealing charge, and who confessed to
several similar crimes. Veech, who is

fessed to the theft of horse and bug
gy at Poplar Bluff, Mo-, from livery
stable. Veech rented the horse and
buggy and promptly drove over into
Arkansas where, on the road he trad
ed the buggy for a saddle, and coming
to Searcy, he traded the horse for
another one. He then hired a buggy at
Searcy and drove off, coming to this
city.
Constable Reinhardt, of Searcy, is
in the city after Veech, but the local
authorities will OF turn the man over
to him. They will hold him until
Gardner arrives.
Veech is professional horse thief,
having been sent to the penitentiary
for the same crime in Kentucky, and
was paroled on March IA. He imme-
diate!y returned to his old haunts and
habits, but he struck snag in his
operations when he entered this city.
A message was received last night
by City Detective Roebuck from Jim
Easley, sheriff at Walnut Ridge, who
stated tina the held bench warrant
for Veech for the theft of a horse
which occurred in that city three
years ago. He stated that he wanted
the man for the crime and offered
to come after him Immediately, but
he was informed that he would be
turned over to the Missouri authori-
ties. Veech stole the horse on his
way to Kentucky and in that state he
got into trouble for similar crime.

Atlanta, Ca, July 5.-President c.

Union, has sent to the officials ana
members of the organization over the
United States a warning against be-
ing taken in by many of the proposed
schemes for the marketing of their
crops.
The warning is as follows:
You can't pick up paper these
days without seeing something on

San Francisco, Cal, July 5.-Willie
Richie, who yesterday successfully
defended his title of lightweight cham
pion of the world against Mexican Joe
Rivers, at Jimmy Cofforoth' arena
here, gave up the dull life Of a coal
yard to become central figure III
the glare of prize ring glory.
Ritchie's real name is Geary Stef-
fan. He assumed nom de plume
when he entered the fight game i'll Or
der to satisfy his horror-stricken and
self-respecting father, who has his
heart set on bringing up Geary to re-
lieve him of the task of bossing the
gang in the coal yard. The fact that
Willie amassed a fortune that would
buy a real coal mine is said to have
slightly allayed the fears of the elder
Stefan as to the possibility of his son
ever disgracing the family.
Richie celebrated his twenty-sec-
ond birthday last February. 1t was
at the Dreamland Pavilion in this city
four years ago that Richie made his
debut in the prize ring. He wanted to

HEAVY SHIPMENTS
FROM THIS CITY
Wholesalers Report Big In
creases During Recent
Holiday Period.
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
BOttling and Ice Cream Plants, Liuu0r
Dealers and Others Show
Increase.
BREAKS ALL RECORDS

The fact that Pine Bluff is rapidly
developing into shipping center for
Southern Arkansas was most forcibly
brought out by the large amount of
shipping done by the local business
houses during the period of July 3,
and 5.
For the first time in the history
of Pine Bluff, the Wells-Fargo, Ex-
press, was forced to use four extra
cars to handle the goods taken out
of this city and which went to all
parts of the southeastern and south
western Arkansas.
The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of
this city shipped so per cent more
goods from this city than the Little
Rock plant Of the same company
shipped during that period. The
plant also did so per cent more bus
mess in Pine Bluff than the Little
Rock plant did in that city.
liz llc BOIllluS SOlupdHy
shipped 800 per cent more goods dur
ing this period than was shipped by
the same company during the same
period in 1912. The plant was in
operation for two weeks, both day
and night, to supply the demand and
then the stock was almost exhausted
in doing so. This company will make
extensive engagements in it's plant
in the very near future and is doing
an enormous business.
The business of the Velvet Ice
Cream Company showed an increase
of over 100 per cent over that OF the
same period last year. During the
DAYS of July 8. 4 and 5, this company
shipped and sold in this city over
1000 gallons of ice cream.
The O. X. Ice Clean Company also
did twice as much business as was
done during the Fourth of July per-
iod in 1912.
,Feinburg and Buerkle enjoyed a
land-office business during this per-
iod. doubling the business done last
wear. This firm shipped over two
solid cars Of beer during the three
days.
l.. and E. Wertheimer sold out prac-
ticallv all the surplus stock on mana
and their business also showed a
largo increase over that of last year.
When asked concerning the IN
crease in the business of that firm for
the holiday period, it was stated al
the NJ. Cans and Company that the
business was over 100 per cent great
or than that for the same period III
1912.
Another 100 per cent increase was
that in the business of l.. and =. Wer'
tbeimer. the officials of which Urn
stated that they enjoyed rushing
business and sold practically all thell
surplus stock.
Cromwell and Harpers business
during the three days showed an In
crease of so per cent over last veal
and it was stated that the clerks II
this establishment had all they coult
do to fill the orders.
The firm of Senyard and Compah.
also enjoyed big business and solt
much more goods than they did fol
same time last year.
