pine Bluff will be visited this
evening by 1877 members OF the Ar
kansas Press association who are
making tour Of the Cotton Belt lines
in this state. The visitors will spend
The night In the city, leaving tomor-
row morning to continue their trip
northeast.
The Pins Bluff chamber of COM
merce has made arrangements to
entertain the visitors as a token OF
appreciation of the work the press of
the state is doing in the development
Of resources and upbuilding of the
commonwealth.
Proportionate with his ability, in
vestmens and chance for gain, the
newspaper man gives more toward
community betterment than any other
and the newspaper more than any
other eterprise. There's not day
in the year that the newspaper man
does not devote some Of his time and
talent toward preparing publicity
matter for the benefit of the city
county or state, and not day that
the newspaper does not contribute
literally of its merchandise for the
same purpose. There's not merchant
nor manufacturer who would give
to the public as much as the news
paper.
All too frequently, the work of the
newspapers and the newspaper men
are not appreciated by these in the
community who benefit most. Blu
Pine Bluff proposes to show the Wis
iting newspaper folk their efforts TO,
their respective communities and TO,
Arkansas are appreciated.
The visitors will be given a warn
welcome and chamber Of commerce,
officials and committees will en-
deavor to make the short stay on,
OF entire pleasure.

CONTRADICTORY NEGLIGENCE.

PERSONS VINO are IN the naDlt vi
trespassing on railroad property. or
who delight in crossing tracks at
the risk of being run down by pass
ing trains will find something of
interest to them in the following:.
lin the action for the death of a
person killed by switch engine,
running backwards, while he was
walking on the track iI a snow
storm, the Michigan supreme court
holds that a sane man, with no in
firmities, who unnecessarily selects
the used track of railroad as path
way, and continues to remain On or
walk along it until struck by pass
ing train or engine, is, as a general
proposition, guilty of contFibutory
ing train should maintain look
out for trespassers with that degree
of care which person of ordinary
prudence and caution would exercise
under the circumstances, having in
mind the safety of the train, it's pas
sengers and person likely to be on
the track. liability does not follow
from neglect, that court declares, un-
less the misconduct of those operat
ing the engine was willful, wanton
and gross; and failure by those run
ming trains to stop simply because
they see ahead of them, upon or ap-
preaching the tracks, persons who
are apparently without disability and
of sufficient age TO understand The
to be recognized as perpetual
menace of danger does not constitute
negligence as matter of law.
A bicyclist attempted to ride across
"a track at a CLOSING in front u a
slowly approaching locomotive in full
view for forty or fifty feet. The en-
|gineer as soon as he saw the bicyclist
was going to try to cross, shouted a
warning and threw on his emergency
brakes. The rails being wet the en-
CINE skidded sixty or eighty feet and
killed the bicyclist. The Maryland
court of appeals holds the railroad
was not liable for his death, he liav-
ling been guilty of contrbutory negli-
gence in trying to cross, while the
engineer. seeing his approach, had
1.-THE right to assume that he would
stop at a place of safety and net at

means possible to stop the train after
he saw the ma was trying to cross
The driver of an automobile ap-
proaching railroad tracks must exer-
else, the Michigan supreme court
holds the same degree of care as a
pedestrian, and where there WAS a
point between ten and fifteen feet
from railroad track where a driver
could have seen an oncoming tra IN
for over 1000 feet, but he did not
operate his car in such manner as to
enable him when he reached that
point to stop his car and LOOK for
approaching trains before reacl ing
the track, he was guilty Of such con-
|tributory negligence as prevented a
recovery of damages from the rail
road.
