EHoBsoN NOT COMING
TO ALEXANDRIA.

We congratulate the leaders of the
prohibition movement in Alexandra
in not securing the services of Rep
resentative Richard P. Hobsons OF
Alabama, to make a speech in this
CITY in favor of the statewide move
ment. An opportunity was given
them TO secure his services but they
did not think it advisable at pres
.ent to have him come here. Hobson
has been thoroughly discredlted in
his own State and his own state has
discredited the prohibition move
,ment by reversing its first action.
But the greatest reason why Vir-
ginia does not need Hobson is that
the people of the state are able to
reach their own conclusions on the
prohibition question without resource
to outside influences. We remember
that Hobson made speech in Alex
andria some four years ago IN which
he predicted war with Japan In two
years. In view of the failure of this
prophesy we are certainly unwilling
TO have him tell US what is going to
happen if the state goes dry.

MISSION OF LIFE AN
ENIGMA TO, EVERY MAN.

There's divinity that shapes our
ends,
Rough-hew them how we will.
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
{ of State, speaking on Wednesday af-
ternoon at the open-air graduation
exercises of Howard University,
Washington, gave in effect a little
autobiography of his entrance into
political life in his address on "The
Measure of Greatness"
owe cannot always tell the kind
of service we will do" said Secretary
Bryan. 81 had several ambitions my
self. 1 commenced with a desire
to be a Baptist preacher. Before l
was six years old I wanted to be a
farmer and raise pumpkins. Later l
thought I would be lawyer.
81 practiced while in Illinois and
then went to Nebraska at the age
of twenty-seven. I got into politics
by accident and stayed there by de-
sign"
Mr.. Bryan being Presbyterian
must realize that
Man, tho limited
BY fate, may vainly think his ac-
tions free,
While all he does, was at his birth,
Or by his gods, or potent stars or
dain'd..
The mission Of life is an enigma to
every man. Fancy's baubles dance
before us in childhood, but we drop
them one by one as plaything as
we develop, and the positions we
eventually fill in life are entirely diff
ferent from our earlier dreams.
Biography is an interesting and
profitable study. The ruddy David
when watching his fathers flocks
never dreamed that he was to be a
great king and the sweet psalmist of
Israel Elisha was taken from the
plow to be the successor of the fish
bite who was translated. Catharn'
of Russia had no dreams In hel
Childhood days that she was to be-
come so conspicuous figure II
the history Of her country.
We are told that when the Empress
Josephine was young girl on the
island of Martinique with humble as
pirations, fortuneteller set her gig
Cling by telling her she was to DC
a queen, "and great queen"
Captain Cook was born in mud
hut in England, Lincoln split rails
and Garfield drove mules on canai
Sherman was shoemaker, and Ben.
jamin Franklin al Juvenile tramp Il
Philadelphia with two-penny loa
of bread in his pocket. Neither ha'
any idea of their final windup.
According 10 an old saying
"There's always plenty of room OF
top but there's fate which ap
pears to put those intended on top
while thousands fall atathefbase Il
!, frantic ATTEMPTS to reach pinnacle
) never intended il seems. for then

WATERMELONS LEAD
 TO CUTTING AFFRAY
John Henry Lewis, a Negro, Accused of Stabbing 15-Year.Old
 Negro Boy.

John Henry Lewis, negro, was arrested yesterday morning and locked upon tine charge of assault tH kill. Lewis is charged with having slashed the 15-year-old son of Mandy Wickett, also colored, with a knife early yesterday morning. He will be given a hearing before Justice of the Peace l.. E.

WILL AUTO TRUCKS
 SUPPLANT HORSES
Roy Senyard Goes to Buy Two Car Loads, Believing They are
 More Economical.

Roy Senyard of the Senyard Auto company left last night for Wichita Falls, Texas, where he has gone to place an order for two carloads of auto trucks, which he proposes to sell il this city. MT. Senyard only recently purchased forty Buick auto mobiles, which will be delivered tEe first of this week. Of this number eight have already been sold.
 MT. Senyard has had many re- quests during the past two weeks for auto trucks. The trucks will arrive in Pine Bluff within two weeks. In order to demonstrate the trucks MT. Senyard proposes to take up firms hauling for one week and do, with one truck all the work that is being done by horse power. In this way MT.

 He says that at present there are only two auto trucks in the city, and that Pine Bluff is far behind aly city of it's size in the South, in this respect.
 He has already received several orders for the cars.
