Some Anachroniems.

It is question, parentheticaIly. whether 1t is truly sportsmaniike to live in a quaint old colonial cottage with g furnace and electric lights. have heard amateurs of tho colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colonial cottage. The anach. ronism horrif,es them: they would nave death or candles. Probably they feel the same way about a furnace and ! bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this colonial cottage would have opened their hearts to all these inventions; and I am not sure faAt they would have regarded as anything but funny the idea that their own kitchen paraphernalia would some day be used to decorate my dining room. l go further.

 Dear Sir 7EM7
 'It may be of interest to you to know that our Northern friends who have net at the several business or commercial organizations, especially members of the Detroit board of trade have evidenced much interest in the diversification of crops in the South IS a whole and in Arkansas particul- arly. Today I had lunch with the secretary of Detroit board of trade and mst many of the boosters of that live club and they all were interested when ! told them that Arkansas would not only feed herself this year but would soon be recognized as a grain state as well as a great cotton state. Possibly our Northern friends find scTething akin to flattery in Iris fact because it confirms to the idea they have had for years that the South should diversity.
 q have noted feeling of fratern- alism in the commercial clubs with which our Pine Bluff Chamber of Commerce and other Southern organizations have reciprocal rela- tions; theirs is friendly interest in cur progress and development. told them that diversifying in our section about Pine Bluff and in the state would call for Detroit tractors and cultivation and more money to buy Detroit automobiles and that we would also make cotton. part of which would go into Detroit automo- bile covers, upholstering and tires, and indeed we actually have recipro- cal trads with them.
 "Detroiters are friends of the South, they are watching Arkansas development into a grain state such as you, as editor of The Graphic have worked for, and I have written you because believe you will be interes-- ed in knowing that our northern friends are watching with interest the development along the lines you have chanpioned for "a long while, and I believe our local: editors should be tcld these things and should have at least the commendation of our citi- gents and our support when they champion a cause that must work to the good of our section Yours for Pine Bluff and Arkansas.

TWENTY CONVERSIONS
 AT A. M. E. REVIVAL
Evangelist Adams Scores Card Play ing, Drunkenness, Adultery and
 Grating.

"Who Is on the Lords Side" was the text of, the evangelist, R. A. Ad- ans, at St. Johns A. M. B. church Sunday night. The preacher declar- ed: You cannot be on both sides at the same time, for this old business of o, God and o, Devil is played out. v
 Asserting that the Lords side is not the popular side, not the most in viting side, but the safe side and the winning side; he urged the people to come out wholly on the Lords side. Dancing, grafting, card playing, drunkenness and adultery were soundly condemned.
 Both the morning and evening ser vices were largely attended and the interest was good.
 Rev. o. L.sMoody, the pastor, is be- ing complimented on securing the services of Rev. Adams; who is con- sidered the tbest qualified evangelist the negro race has produced
 More than 20 persons were receiv- days services
 "Heart-rightness" was the theme of the discourse of Evangelist Adams last night. He characterized Simon the original church grafter, declar- ing that "the hottest place in hell must be reserved for the man who will take and use for his own pur- poses the money contributed for the support of the Lords work"
 The services and addresses for this week will be as follows: Preaching at s o'clock each night; services for children, Wednesday and Saturday morning at 10:30; special addresses to girls and young women, Thursday and Saturday afternoon at 2:3O; ad- dresses to mothers and older women, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, at 2:30.

WILLIAMS PROVIDES
 FEAST FOR PRISONERS

Prisoners in the Jefferson county Jail frequently express appreciation of and gratitude for the treatment ex- tended them by Warden E. H. Verret and Sheriff R. H. Williams. Those familiar with the manner ill which the inmates of the prison are fed and cared for are not surprised at these Manifestations of thankfulness.
 Another instance of the thoughtful ness of the custodians took place Sunday afternoon, when the 2S ne- groes and five white persons in the iail were treated to a watermelon feast by Sheriff Williams, who, pur- chased cartload of melons that the supply might be ample.
 These were the first melons many of the prisoners had tasted this sum mer, and the way in which the red meat disappeared through smacking lips indicated that the 'treat" was a real one.

COTTON CROP GETS DECIDED SETBACK Dry Weather and High Temperatures Over Belt
 Do Damage.
LITTLE BOIL WEEvIL
Poor Fruitage and Shedding General. Some Nights Too COOl-WOrSt Re. ports of DrOuth Damage Come
 From Central Belt.

The cotton crop suffered decided setback during the last fortnight, ac- cording to reports from correspon- dents of the Memphis Commercial Appeal Dry weather and high te,n- peratures during the first half of the period and cool nights with continued dry weather over most of the belt during the last week were the prin- cipal contributing factors to the loss in condition, according to these re- ports.
 Worst reports probably come from the central belt. Texas is very dry, but the plant seems to be standing the drouth better than in other To- calities. In Oklahoma the crop im- proved as a result of favorable weather, but is still late and fruiting slowly. In the east much damage resulted from drouth before rains of last week relieved tlhe situation. Many core espondents believe that the rains came too late to overcome the damage wrought by the drouth Lack of sufficient fertilizers is becoming painfully apparent both in the growth and fruiting of the plant Il this sec tion of the belt.
 All over the bslt complaint is made Of poor fruitage and heavy shedding has occurred generally Boil weevil are not as numerous as usual at this seas of the year, and damage is not great. Generally speaking the crop was laid by in clean, well-cultivated fields.
