 Pine Bluff is the logical point Tor holding an inter-county fair, but only by starting on a small scale can such an institution be developed. The Graphic urges all to cooperate in making this years exhibit as success ful as the short time ahead will per- init, and then in immediately begin hing work on great fair for 1915.
 An annual exhibit and competition in agriculture, live stock and otaer farm products is the greatest factor in improving agricultural conditions. A fair is a great educational institu- tiOn for the farmer, Desldes IuTHloi- ing him an opportunity for pleasure, of which he gets little enough, Heaven knows.
 By melting the farmer to grow better crops, better stock-and In which he will be aided by the ex- change of experiences with others the fair adds to the value of farm output and thus makes for increased prosperity for all Wherever an an, nual county or district fair has beer conducted for any number of years there will be found prosperous farm CTS and prosperous communities.

It seems ridiculous that Pine Bluff should ship it's cotton away to be manufactured and then buy it back, paying several profits and transporta- tion charges in addition to the value of the cotton. Especially when we here at home. By building a cotton mill here, the consumer should get his cotton cheaper, the farmer more for his product and the money that is now going to sustain other cities will be spent in Pine Bluff by the i50 or more people the cotton mill will employ.

TOWERS
On Baptist Church Blown
Down By Wind
During The Severe Storm
Monday Afternoon
Trees TOpplGd Over In
Various Sections

At 2:10 Monday afternoon, during
the severest part of the storm which
swept over this community, sudden
gust of wind toppled over the two
towers on the Baptist church, East
High street. An entire section Of the
belfry was swept to the ground, the
part containing the ben remaining in
tact. Only half of the outer portion
of the eastern tower remained after
the wind had struck it. The debris
from this was carried over to the
small building just east of the church
and smashed through a portion of the
roof, carrying the spouting down.
Nobody was passing by when the
accident occurred, which was very
fortunate as the church yard and walk
in front were covered with bricks, odd
pieces of wood, etc. The wind was so
strong, that one of the shingles from
the steeple was carried down to Gay
street.
The loss will probably amount to
over a thousand dollars.
The big elm tree across from the
residence of Mr.. H. G. Devin on North
Main street-one of the landmarks of
the city-was uprooted By the storm
and fell up East Chestnut street, land
ing so that nobody was injured. A por-
ton of the sewer was carried with the
tree.
General damage is reported all over
the city, quite number of trees being
uprooted and wires torn down. The
electric light plant was temporarily
put out of commission and telephone
service cut out for short time as a
result of the storm.
A portion of the roof of the tank
o. the B. & o. water tower was also
blown off.

VICTIM
OF Bandits Dies In A COIuR-

Columbus, o., June 22-Henry
Schwilk, SO, who, with his brother,
Frederick, was attacked on their farm
near Taylor's Station two weeks ago
and beaten and robbed by the bandit
trio-Arthur Strom and Ernest and
Earl Jones-died Monday morning at
1880 at Grant hospital.
DR.. j. f. Baldwin says death was
directly due to cancer of the bowels.
The beating he suffered at the hands
of the bandits may have fastened the
end, as he was severely bruised and
suffered from shock.
Strom and Ernest Jones are now
serving sentences in the penitentiary
and Earl Jones is in the reformatory
for robbery of the Schwilk brothers

signature Leaders OF both parties
are convinced, however, that the pres
ident intends to see that congress
stays here until the antitrust work
Is done.
Secretary Bryan made his third ap-
pearance today before the senate for
eign relations committee to discuss
the treaty with Colombia and the pro-
posed pact with Nicaragua. Opposi-
ton to both these treaties has been
unusully strong and II seems probable
that the Colombia treaty can not be
ratified without long fight in the
senate.
The proposed treaty with Nicaragua
is yet to be drawn and signed by the
two countries. Proposals for changes
in the tentative drdaft made by men,
bers OF the committee may be accept
ed by Mr.. Bryan. This would aid in
securing the votes necessary for APP
proval, but there are many indications
that thorough investigation will be
made into the financial relations of
American banking interests with the
Nicaraguan government before final
action is taken.

STORY OF A RAW DEAL

One of the numerous deliberate falsi.
fications recently sent out by the Dan
Hanna branch of the Republican can
ned editorial factory at Columbus was
that Dean Henry G. Williams, of the
normal department at the Ohio Uni
versity at Athens, was to be denied ap-
pointment as state supervisor Of nor
NAL schools by Governor James M.
COY and State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Frank w. Miller, be-
cause he was a Republican. The al
legation was specifically made that the
raw DEAL" as it was called, was q
violation of the state civil service law.
Now for the facts: Dean Williams In
a public statement says that Governor
Cox solicitated him to become a can
didate for the office, but he declined to
consider the position because Of the
tentative saIary-$2,50O year. Later
the governor, after a conference with
State Budget Commissioner w. o. Hef-
ferman, found way to increase the
compensation to $4,000. At the exam
ination Dean Williams finished four
points ahead of Supt. s. II. Layton, of
Lancaster schools, and more than that
ahead of Lester s. Wins of the Leba-
non schools. Under the civil service
law Superintendent Miller might have
appointed any of these three candi-
dates. 1t appeared, though, that the
governor had requested him to tender
the position to the candidate finishing
with the best record. Accordingly Dean
Williams will be named and will ac-
cept, although 900 students at Athens
have signed petition asking him TO
remain with that institution.
The only scintilla of fact In the Dan
Hanna utterance is that the Dean is a
Republican. The only raw deal" was
given to the Republican editors who ac.
cepted the Justification as the truth
and published It to the detrimentk OF
their duty of fidelity to their readers

LOST OUT
Did Mt. Vernon To The Bates
Pirates
Of Columbus By A Close Score
Of 7 To 5

Mt. Vernon lost a game filled with
thrills and errors Sunday afternoon to
Bates Pirates of Columbus. The
score was to 5.
The visitors were a set of clean cut
athletes who performed in much bet
ter style than any team that has ap-
peared here yet this season. Their
preliminary practice work was marked
with brilliant, snappy work that
brought rounds of applause from the
crowd which was one of the largest of
the season.
Mt. Vernon used thirteen men in a
desperate effort to overcome the hos
tile lead and nose out victory and
they nearly did it. The home clubs
half of the ninth opened with the score
Z to against them. After Maxwell
and Critchfield has been easily retired,
Tiger singled cleanly for the fourth
consecutive time. Barre, hitting for
Popejoy, singled, but Tiger was stopped
at second. Schweitzer walked and
filled the bases. This was a critical
point and the last hope rally looked
like it would pan out wonderfully but
1t didn't. Sapp struck out on Ertley's
wicked shoots.
Had Mt. Vernon played a clean
fielding game, the Columbus aggre-
cation would surely have lost. They
made but nine hits while the locals
drove out thirteen, three of them
doubles. Householder pitched fine
ball for few innings but was not in
condition. He was not relieved until
too late when Rufus Horn assumed
the pitching burden and retired the
Columbus batsmen in order in the
last inning.
The Pirates are made up of the
fastest semi-professional players in
Columbus, several of them having
been in organized base ball. Ertley
formerly pitched for the Dayton Cen
trail league team. Jorgensen has
played with Lima in the Ohio State
league and also in the Blue Grass
league at Maysville. Trautman has
also been up but he dropped down
again on account of a weak arm.
1t is probably that the Pirates will
be brought back to Mt. Vernon later
in the season and with Horn to pit
against them, the locals will very
probably even up.

LAMENT OF THE sTANoPATTeRs

The cartoon in this issue Is q vivid
reminder of an enforced condition that
has been thought about by Democratic
administrations in Ohio.
Prior to six years ago, under the
old Republican stand pat" regime in
Ohio, the State Treasury afforded fat
pickings for Republican State Treas
urers, who pocketed the interest on
public funds that they placed in favor
ed banks, or invested In Columbus sky
scrapers. The advent OF Democratic
administration stopped this procedure.
and the pbulic funds have since earned
more than million dollars for the tax
payers by being let out to banks on
competitive bidding, and awarded to
the banks paying the highest rate of
interest for the use of the money. The
saving of this vast sum OF the peoples
own money helps swell the treasury
surplus, which warrants and will pro
duce reduction in rates of taxation.
During the administration of Gov
ernor Cox former Republican State
Treasurers and favored banks have
been compelled to pay back into the
State Treasury many thousands OF dol.
lars they had received Illegally az in.
terest on the public funds, not the
least of which was from the bank of
the Republican boss OF Cincinnati.
The standpatters stand aghast at
the enforced restitution to the state
treasury of ill-gotten gains. and the
beneiiciarles of the old crooked sys
tenn fain would rehabiltate themselves
by being returned to power In Ohio
and renew the practice Of the system
they were compelled TO stop by the ad
vent of a Democratic administration
and in the absence of which they
would have continued to this day

STUCK TO HIS FAITH.
Anyhow II Paid the Young Prussian
Not to Change II.


Not to Change II.
A king OF Prussia who reigned about
the beginning of last century was not
ed for his genlality, and often in the
course OF his walks through the streets
would enter into conversation with his
subjects.
One day he met young man and
asked him what his faith was. The
youth, who was somewhat of wag.
answered, smiling, II believe what my
tailor believes" The king entered
pleasantly into the Joke and then ask
ed again, "And what does your tailor
believe in?" "Your majesty" replied
the young man, 'he believes that he
will never get the 30 marks which
owe him, and | believe 1t also"
The king laughed heartily at the out
spoken and unrestrained way in which
he had answered him, and then gave
him 80 marks, Now, then, you can
pay your tailor and SO change his
faith" The young man fancled, how
ever, that he could use the money for
better purpose, and the tailor nat
uraliy went unpaid.
Not long afterward the king met the
same youth. who, as he saw his maj
esty approaching, tried to escape down
side street The king had, however,
espied him and called after him. The
youth, somewhat crestfallen and
abashed, approached his majesty, who
at once asked him If he had paid his
tailor. A smile passed over the young
mans face as he replied, "Your majes.
ty, l could not change my faith for
80 marks"
