Election Contest Likely.

Charges of Irregularities and incon.
sistencies in the returns from Ponto-
toe and other counties will be made
before the Democratic state eecutive
committee by the Reilly forces in an
attempt to throw out returns which at
present make Theo. G. Bilbo COVER
nor-elect. An insistent demand, 1t is
said, will be made for a recount.
Reports of irregularities in Ponto-
toe reached the headquarters of
Marion w. Reilly Aug. 5, and his
friends declare that the matter will
be fought out before the committee.
1t is alleged that the vote reported
from Pontotoc is far in excess of the
legal registration, and that many
names were put on the registration
books and transferred to the poll
books by the election commissioners
after the legal time limit had ex.
pired.
Reilly supporters also express dis
satisfaction over the heavy increase
of Nhe vote in several other counties.
notably Tippah, Marion and Panolav
all of which gave heavy majoritief
for Bilbo.
Pellagra Causes Alarm.
Physicians. community builders, fed
Grated club women and many others
over the state are engaged in discuss
ing the situation in regard to pei
lagra, which has spread at such an
abnormal rate during the past II
months. While 1t is realized that the
state is now carrying about as large
Il burden Of governmental expense as
1t possibly can, it is also obvious that
the pellagra situation is one that must
be met in some way, either through
public or private enterprise, or a com
bination of both forces.

 Big "Baby Doll' Booth.
 Considerable pride is taken in the fact that the ladies have arranged for a tent where the big, ruddy, plump "baby dolls" will be the prizes The manner of disposing of these dolls has not yet been decided, but the dolls will be exactly the kind that were to be had at the carnival which re. centlv visited Pine Bluff. and which delighted all the little folks. <'
 Some of the other features, each of which will occupy tent or booth to itself, will be as follows:
 Refreshments tent, where drinks sandwiches, cakes, pies and such things will be sold.
 Trinket tent, where will be hun dreds and hundreds of little things for the little folks.
 Japanese tea room.
 "The Bridal Pair."
 Safety First" tent.
 "The Wonder of Pine Bluff"
 Two fortune tellers, in separate tents.
 Candy tent.
 Plenty of music and lots of bril- Han lights.
 
 Home Made Delicacies.
 A feature of the carnival which is expected to be of more than ordinary interest, is the fact that virtually all the cakes, pies and candies will be made at home. Some of Pine Bluffs best cake bakers and candy makers are already preparing their plans to a lot of these toothsome delicacies, and that the sweet things will be in great demand appears a certainty.
 The carnival is being given for the purpose of raising fund with which to pay the cost of installation and of number of drinking fountains in the city, at widely scat tered points. There are a number of drinking fountains for animals scat tered around the city, but no fountains are provided for men, women and and it is to fill this want that the Civic league ladies are rais- ing the fund. through the carnival and

BIG FEATURES IN PREPARATION FOR
 LOCAL CARNIVAL
Old Fashioned Minstrels to Be a Feature of "Home
 Talent" Show.

An Old-fashioned Southern minstrel shoW-one of those sure-enough min- strel affairs-will be big feature of the "home talent" carnival to be giv- en Friday and Saturday, November 5 and 6, under the auspices of the East Pine Bluff Civic league, and already the members of the minstrel aggrega- tion are hard at work perfecting themselves in the jokes, the songs, the dances, and the knock-about stuff of which such entertainments are composed.
 Arrangements for the big carnival are rapidly nearing completion. The officers of the Civic league, and the several committees which are in charge of the thousand and one de- tails, are all busily engaged in look ing after the matters left with them, and quite a number of final reports are expected to be turned in when the organization holds it's next meeting Thursday evening, with Miss Sara Langston, 403 East Second avenue.
 To Be Real Carnival.
 It is going to be sure-enough real carnival, patterned after the best that is to be found in the professional carnival aggregations, and containing several of the most popular of the professional carnival attractions.
 First and foremost, the ladies in charge of the affair have decided that there will be no admission charged to the grounds. The regular carnival companies allow free ingress to the grounds, and always draw crowd, which then spends it's money. This same scheme will be followed by the losal ladies, and everybody will have free access to the big grounds where the carnival is to be. held, in the op- en space in East Fifth avenue, north of the First ward school.
 Once on the grounds, the ladies are sure the people will patronize the many booths and tents that have al-]

PULLMAN DEBT TO The PoRTERS
TNEw YORK NEWS.

The Pullman company would do
well to follow the wise suggestion
made by Frank Fame, treasurer OF
the Pullman Porters' Benevolent
association. Mr.. Fame urges that
the Pullman company erect and
endow out of the annual bonus paid
the porters and the company's own
surplus large home for aged and
decrepit porters who have become
incapacitated in the service. The
proposition seems not only fair. but
more than fair.
As matter of right and justice
and good policy, the Pullman Co.
should erect and endow a home for
its WORKOUT employees, not of their
friends, but out of its own surplus
funds, which they in large measure
have made possible. Certainly, IN
the light of revelations before the
Walsh investigating commission,
the company will seriously consider
the wisdom of adopting Mr.. Fane's
suggestion, Enlightened business
policy is teaching all of the great
industrial and commercial plants oil
the world that it pays great profits
for them to provide for the seer
and yellow years of its faithful
employees. 1t increases the efficiency
of the employee. 1t adds in every
way to the prestige and power Of
the plant. 1t is not only cruel il
is poor and ort-sighted policy to
cast aside faithful and eff1cien,
employees, as WORKOUT machines tc
the junk heap.
How much more so, then, is il
the duty of the Pullman company
to provide for the men whose un
failing and courteous attention and
honest and intelligent service have
made the Pullman car famous, anc
who have thus made the company
largely what it is to-day. Wha
would the Pullman car be without
a colored porter? The company
should reward his long and faithful
service, not as charity, but as 6
debt. AS good business it should
establish porters' aged and infru
home.

COMMENT

The failure Of Grand Master
Morris Of the @. U. o. of .. F. to
visit the coast is sad disappoint-
ment, and emphasizes how far VIC
are from the centre of gravity.
Why do our hall projects lag
Is not the need just as urgent as
ever Do we lack confidence in
the races business ability? Will
we ever learn the lesson of CO.
operation? 1t is sad commentary
on our boosted opportunities in this
State, when, with thousands of
visitors attracted here, we could
point to nothing except our
churches.
Now that the picnic season is
over, possibly few words OH the
subject will not be construed as
favoring any organization to the
exclusion Of another. The cut
throat methods employed during
the season reflect no credit on the
promoters Of some Of these enter
prises, and the sooner there is an
understanding among our organiza-
tons as to dates, the better it will
be for all concerned. The con-
tention Of certain organizations 10
claim all the holidays each year is
not fair to other organizations less
fortunate, and whose objects are
just as worthy. A coming together
would mean the saving of many
dollars now going to the other
fellow.

MANY JEWISH ENEMIES

The fact that three Jews have
bought the rights for the State OF
Massachusetts, for the production
of 1.-The Birth Of a Nation" and
that Jewish capitalists are exploit
ing the photo-play all over the
country, should cause the colored
people to see that many of their
most bitter enemies are Jews.
A Jewish attorney-general was
responsible for the Maryland dis
frarchisement law recently declared
unconstitutional.
A Jewish Senator and Jewish
Congressman have become notori-
Gus because of their TRADES against
the race.
In many localities Jews aided the
passage of segregation laws.
A Jew worth many millions is
giving thousands of dollars to aid
in the Establishment of Jim Crow
Y. M. c. AS. actually aiding the
alleged Christians in their efforts
to segregate believers of darker hue.
Ali this is queer work for people
who have been oppressed for
thousands of years ami who are
still massacred in many parts OF
Europe All Jews are not enemies
of colored people, but those who
have power and money seem to
take special delight in swiping the
colored man, and also gathering In
