TWO C01TON TRAINS
 CONSOLIDATE HERE
Nos, 5 and f !AnnulIcd Between Pine Bluff and Fair Oaks to Relieve
 Traffic on Iron Mountain.

Beginning last night and. this morn ing, new arrangement of the Cotton Belt passenger trains, to remain in
 effect until the main line is again
 open went into effect, the principal
 reason being to tighten the burden
 on the Iron Mountain, which started yesterday morning about 200 cars of freight for the Cotton Belt, which
 cars have accumulated at Jonesboro The consolidation at Pine Bluff of trains Nos and 6, the Texas mail
 and the Lone Star. into one train,
 was inaugurated. the joint train to travel on No. 6's time, and to proceed
 as such through. ,Argenta, over the Iron Mountain to Fair Oaks. There No. will start for Memphis as usual, while No. As equipment will proceed to St. Louis. over the Cotton Belts mail line, which is open again all the way north. .s
 South bound, the same arrangement went into effect. Nos. 5 and ,, the
 Texas mail and the Lone Star, were consolidated at Fair Oaks, moved over the Iron Mountain as, one train to Argenta, and reaching Pine Bluff on No. 3, thence going forward agaln as two distinct trains.
 This action relieves the Iron Noun tain of tb burden of handling two
 passenger trains of the Cotton Belt
 each day, and allows greater ability
 to handle the 200 cars of freight
 some of it perishable, which has been
 accommodating at Jonesboro, and the
 movement of which started yesterday,
 some of this freight reaching Pine
 Bluff last night. ssK v Although every effort will be made
 to reopen the main lines at the earli-
 est possit moment there is little Likelihood of such resumption of ser vice until early next week, at the best,
 on either the Cotton Belt about Clar-
 endon or the Iron Mountain south of
 Pine Bluff, although the conditions on
 the Iron Mountain are much more
 favorable than they are on the Cotton Belt.

 He supported the plan of the cham- bsr cf commerce to send a man to Washington in behalf of this work, and urged that ten or more men be sent, if necessary Congress does this work elsewhere, it protects people and property in other sections, he said, and just because Pine Bluff is ill Arkansas and the south, is nc req thing here.
 Mir. Trimbie's Plan.
 D. L.. Trimble spoke interestingly, urging as a remedy for the troubles suffered here. that combination of things might be dono, that would c-s- d comparatively small amount, yet .wculd remedy all the pad sconditians.
 A gatevalve,, properly constructed and with strong inlets and outlets. should he constructed at Virgin,a street and East Second avenue. he stated, which w2uld keep out the river water. A pump should be in stalled there, which would cost not more than $1 900 and which would pump the, drain water out of Hard lngs bayou Into tn2 rlV5r. Such pump could virtually pump the Ar kansas dry, he said.
 The proper solution fcr the caving bank trouble, he said. was to cut tho Eeel off horseshoe bend, diyerting the channel, and allowing the de2d water which would then be alongside the southern bank, to deposit it's silt cn top of the big layer of auicksand which underlies the river from the Rob Roy bridge to White Cliff. So far as tha sewer outlets are con- oernei, he said the sewers could be equipped with valve gates, which 7 (. uld be closed in high water times, and the sewerage could be pumped through a manhole into the river.
 Message To Congress-.
 A motion by Charles Haycock was lhanimously adopted, directing the chairman and secretary to forward a telegram to Cong1 essman Sam M. Taylor and other Arkansas repressn- tatives in congress, urging strongly that steps be taken by the govera- ment at once to protsct the river bank here.

7 War Cannot Destroy It.

A wonderful night tonight, SD that the spirit goes forth :. little, enters the harmony of things, drinks the magic of the world. How beauty moves the heart! And war cannot de- stroy 1t, cannot take from us the feel Ing that--liying or dead--we belong to such perfection. It cannot take the voice from the streams, remove the flight of small wings in the darkness. the gleam of moonlight, the whisper of night about us, nor that bright star. It cannot take from within us the soul that vibrates to lovel:aess, to tn
 great-hearted rhythm round us.--John tfalsworthy, in Scribner's Magazine.

Advice to Essayists.

A minute critic might study the works of the ages of burgundy and laudanum, and try to disengage the pe- culiar inspiration of these fluids in certain passages. There is plenty of whisky. in the works of Christopher North. But the modern essayist, If wise. will keep . notebook wherein to enter subjects" that float up uncalled from his subliminal depths, as Haw- thorne kept volumes of notes of sub jects for novels and stories. This is counsel of perfection; for one. I can no more keep notebook than l can retain the constant attachment of an umbrella.-~Apdrew Lang.

bloody stage of the fighting some
time ago. The struggle had been des-
perate late into the day, until both
sides were utterly exhausted. The
men fairly dropped in their tracks, and
neither side had the physical energy
left to strike the final blow that would
be decisive. Colonel Desfontaines
realized the situation, and going to the
head of his exhausted men he coOlly
threw aside his revolver, took out his
pipe; lit it, and then pipe in mouth
called to his men to make a last
charge. The audaCity of the act at
moment of such exhaustion, heartened
the Wornout men: they struggled to
their feet and made the rush which the
crisis needed. 1t saved the day; the
Germans were swept from the field,
and Colonel Desfontaines is wearing
the 'CFOix de Ctuerre.' "

Tie LYNcHINc RECORD

When it is reported by the TuslIegee
institute that during the six months
of this year there have been Is lynch
ings in this country, or an average
Of one a week, there is revealed the
fact that there can be no Ietup in the
effort for q greater respect for law
and order Even though there is graf
ifCation in the showing for this year
regarding such disregard for estab-
Hshed law and the resort to mob rule,
inasUuch as the first six months Of
1915 showed a total of 81 lynchings,
the number is far too large and the
efforts which are being made to cor
rect the conditions cannot be permit
ted to relax, for while there was a
l.me when lynching was restricted to
p few causes, the failure of the au-
thorities to do their duty when such
murders are committed has led those
who are disposed to take the law into
their own hands to take a man out
and hang him for such trivial offenses
as slappins q boy or brushing against
q person on the street.
In the state of Georgia much in
dignation was manifested following
the lynching Of Leo Frank an act
which raised a protest throughout the
entire country. It was even claimed
that the question of lynching was to
be made q political issue with a view
to ending lit but how badly that state
has falleni by the Wayside in this re-
spect is revealed by the fact that eight
of the 25:Ivnchings thus far this year
took place N that state.
That certainly is an increase Of the
blot which rests upon that common
wealth and one of which it's people
can haTdlygbe proud. That shows that
One-third Eof the violations Of this
character are attributable to the peo-
pie of Georgia which is an unenvia-
BILE record for q civilized state and one
which should move it to the greatest
Efforts to overcome. Let every state
where Iynchings occur do its utmost
to punish. the ringleaders and the
practice will stop but when whole
community lends its support to such
acts as it did at Waco, Texas, for
which no one was punished it is
bound to grow like all other unre-
strained IaTlessuess.
