THAT HUGE HoLD-uP.

Over the head of Chairman Corzine
OF the board of commissioners, the
Grady County Star last week lam
basted the Grady county officers be-
cause the Express was given the job
of printing the delinquent tax list,
seeking to make it appear that a big
hold-up was put over
The truth of the matter is that the
county was charged the rate fixed By
statute, less voluntary discount of 10
per cent, the deduction that the Ex-
press has always made on these bills.
The Star says it made a bid of some
thing like $500 for the job, though it
never saw the copy" and could not
therefore submit real bid, based
upon what the job was actually worth,
since the size of the list varies greatly
from year to year, having run from a
few columns to as high as ten pages.
We are forced to conclude that the
alleged bid was made more for the
purpose of discrediting or sandbag-
ging the Democratic officials than
with the object of saving the county
money. We are strengthened in this
view because of the fact that the last
time we had an argument with one of
our contemporaries on the this sub
ject, our critic told the public that
about 500 was fair price for pub
fishing four pages of delinquent taxes,
and the list this year made five pages.

liz INCHES OF
RAIN in 80 Minis,
Heavy Wind FEELS Tree in
Elm Street, Putting Light
Circuit Out.

A rainfall OF 1.12 inches in 80
minutes, was experienced in pine
Bluff and for some little distance in
to Jefferson county yesterday, and
indications are that much good was
accomplished.
J. II. Hudson, local weather OBJ
server, said last night that the rain
fall was somewhat excessive, ano
would undoubtedly prove to have
been beneficial.
In Pine Bluff, the rainfall cooled
materially the heated atmosphere
but the greatest good was in washing
much of the unhealthy and unsani-
tary sediment left by the floodwaters
as they receded from the old lakebed
and the lowlands lying along
'Brurp's bayou. Streets and alleys
were given securing, and all YER
dure appeared much refreshed.
A feed wire of the electric com.
pany was torn down by failing
tree in Elm street, and circuit was
out of commission about an hour.
Repairs were quickly made by line
men of the company.
Trees were broken down and limbs
torn off others, in almost every part
of the city by the high winds which
accompanied the rainfall, and avn
ings, small outbuildings and fences
in several localities were damaged.
There was little or no loss to prop
erty. however.

PURCHASE MILK,
GET MIXTURE OF
FLOUR and WATER
Twenty Pounds Of Flour
Used by Dairyman to Man
ufacture Milk for Sale.

The need of system of milk and
dairy inspection was plainly shown
yesterday by an occurrence at the
plant of the Pine Bluff Bottling COM
pany. when a large quantity of flour
was discovered in twenty gallons Of
milk purchased by the bottling COM
pany, for use in the manufacture Of
its Bulgarian buttermilk.
The bottling company purchases
virtually all its milk from dairy
plant some distance from the city,
which plant is under constant gov
eminent supervision. and the milk
from which is guaranteed pure in
every respect by the government in
spectors. Occasionally, however, as
on yesterday, an extra supply is need
ed. which is purchased from some
Twenty gallons Of milk were pur-
chased yesterday morning by the
company from local dairyman and
to this was added ten gallons OF
other milk, the thirty gallons then
being put into the apparatus TO,
manufacture into buttermilk The ex-
cessive heat used in the process soon
turned the milk into a batch of
dough, the weight OF which was esti-
mated by Lawrence Iixon of the COM
pany at 20 pounds. Dr.. A. G
Thompson, who was called to look at
the mixture. estimated the weight to
be about twelve pounds.
Baby Would Starve to Death.
DR.. Thompson said the adulteration
was harmless, in any direct way, but
would result in the starvation OF
any baby to whom such milk was
fed, because of its lack of nourish-
4ment 1t was virtually flour and wa
ter, according to Mr.. Dixon. Hereto
fore, the bottling company has found
milk adulterated by being thinned
with water but this is the first time
flour has been found.
The bottling company tests out al
the milk it uses except the mill
which goes into the Bulgarian butter
milk, this latter milk being excepted
only because authorizations and I'M
purities are clearly brought out il
the process of manufacture. Hat
the local milk been tested yesterda.
at the bottling plant, its adulteratiol
would have been discovered, even a
it was discovered while being mad
into buttermilk.
The dairyman who supplied the bot
Ting plant stated that he had pur
chased the milk from another dairy
man, and agreed to make good TIL
loss of the bottling company.
DR.. Thompson pointed to the Incl
dent as indicating the great nee
here for milk inspection ordinance
and expressed the hope that the cit,
/; council will adopt the ordinance nov
being framed by conference between
council committee and the cit
board of health, of which DR.. Thomp
son is president.

FLGODGATES BY
THE IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT Plan
Entire City Would Benefit
by Remedying Conditions
in Old Lake Bed.

That a sanitary improvement dis
trict be formed for the erection OF
the proposed floodgates at the mouth
of the old lakebed and to make i'm
tons Of the lakebcd and of Brump's
bayou as we'll, appears to be the
movement most favored by property
owners and business men who dis
cussed the matter yesterday.
Mayor Simon Bloom stated yester-
day that although he had talked OF
the floodgates matter with scores or
leading resid nts, h. had not met a
man who was opposed 10 the cree
ton of the floodgates.
"On the contrary" said the mayor,
"every man to whom i talked eX-
pressed himself as decidedly in favor
te.<ay that although he had talked
Of the floodgates being built, as
being an absolute necessity for the
preservation of the health Of the
people Ct Pine Bluff"
Although most Of the complaints
heard have concerned the old lake
led, Mayor Bloom said yesterday that
those conditions have been greatly
improved and now the greatest COM
plain; is being caused by conditions
along Bumps bayou. In the valley
0. the bayou, conditions ara said tc
be virtually unbsarable, aud as that
section is oven more thickly settled
| than is tho lakebed section,t many
! mere rGSidents are affected
Uses Up Lime Supply
| All the lime in the city had been
used up. principally by the city's
sanitary campaigncrs yesterday, but
another supply was due to arrive
last night, and it is expected the
street gang will be busy again today
working principally along Brump's
bayou
ut has taken great many barrels
of lime to do the LITTLE W. neAe done
said Mayor Bloom yesterday, "but il
was all that we could do. We have
brought about a big Improvement il

G ally in the, eastern section. AS soon
as we get more lime we will take III

Waiting on Aldermen
The aGtion4of the city aldermen a
their next meeting, on the matter o
tAe floodgates, is being awaited by
citizens, property owners and bust
rcss men generally, with consider
able interest. What the aldermanit
body will propose or decide upon i
the matter now causing the mos

Not only are business men said t,
be heartily in favor of the movement
but it is understood the organized
labor element of Pine Bluff will lent
It's endorsement and approval to tn
plan to torm a district to include tn
entire city, that the cost Of the worl
