C0NVICTS APPEAR
TO Have MADE
GOOD ESCAPE
Ed Dickson, Wife Poisoner,
and Will Pinkston, Bur
glar, Elude Pursuers.

Tucker, July 14.-Ed Dickson and
Will Plnkston, convicts who fled from
the state penal farm here Wednesday
afternoon, were still at liberty to-
night, and the authorities at the farm
are now inclined to believe that they
will not be recaptured in this imme-
diate vicinity.
Dickson, who was serving a life SEN
tence for wife murder, and Pinkston,
serving seven years for burglary in
Cross county, where both were con-
victed in February last They were
doing carpentry work on the admin
stration building Wednesday afternoon
about o'clock, when they put down
their tools and strolled toward the
bayou, about so yards from the build
ing. The trusty serving as a guard
is said by other convicts to have
mapped" Dickson and Pinkston thus
having opportunity to reach the
stream, and open field beyond and
finally the woods. Dogs were put on
the trail within 40 minutes, but no
trace of the fugitives was found.
A report reached the farm authori-
ties today that Yates Standridge, who
escaped with II others several weeks
ago, and another convict were seen in
! the vicinity Of Stuttgart this morning.
| Two convicts were also seen at
Humphrey today, according to a report
reaching here.
From reports Of robberies and
thefts it is evident that most of the
II of the 10 still at liberty are now
provided with civilian attire, are we'll
armed and are only seeking oppor-
tunity to get outside the state, or to
sections where they can obtain help
from friends.
That the Is men had outside assist
ance was made known by the confess
sion of one of the recaptured con-
victs, who has disclosed to the authori-
ties how Yates Standridge and others
conspired to obtain pistols, and from
whom and how they were secured
Efforts to capture the person who pro-
vided the arms are being made.

TALKS ON BANKING.
YOUR BUSINESS CAPITAL.

Thirty per cent of those who fail in
business do so because they lack cap
ital No business can succeed unless
it has backbone, and this backbone
is the invested capital of the proprie-
tor Whether it is a million dollar
corporation or corner grocery
there must be, as foundation, the
investment of the proprietor.
The man who starts out in business
"on shoestring' fails. No matter
what he may have in the way of bor-
rowing facilities, there may come a
time when he finds the avenues OF
borrowing closed against him. Then
his reserve capital comes into play.
To meet the weekly payroll, stock
up, tide over bad times, fit the place
up with machinery and fixtures, re-
uuires money, and this money should
be the saved money of the proprietor.
Just how much capital a concern
requires is a matter of individual re-
quirements. The larger the business
the larger the capital. II, for instance,
a man were to engage in a mercantile
line. he should have enough money
saved by thrift to buy his fixtures,
and part of his stock, and balance
for working capital to keep in the
bank He should not put all his mon
ev in fixtures so that he has none for
stock, and vice versa. Neither should
he forget that his best credential with
his banker is good working bal
anCc.
The reason why banks are so par
ticular that borrowers keep balance
is not that the bank wants excessive
Notwithstanding, say thousand and
asking that one-quarter of it be kept
on deposit, but that the borrower may
have free working capital at his COM
mand all the time.
The position that if I borrow a
Thousand and am asked to keep $3.50
on deposit, I might as we'll borrow
$3.50, is not we'll taken; for even
though the bank balance is borrowed
money, and costs the interest, it is a
cheap price to pay for the bankers
good will. In fact business man
could we'll afford to pay 6 per cent
for money and leave it with his bank
err, for the good it would do his cred
it
In the granting of credit, business
men as we'll as bankers, give due
heed to the ratio between quick as
sets and quick liabilities. The bank
er likes to see two to one-two dol
lars of quick assets to one dollar OF
quick debts. The quick assets are !:
Cash, bills receivable, accounts receiv-
able and merchandise. Quick liabili-

BASKET PICNIC AT
SULPHUR SPRINGS

A big basket picnic, to be given UNI
der the auspices of the Pine Bluff
circuit, will be held Thursday, July
20, at Sulphur Springs, according to
announcement made last evening by
the preacher, Rev. J. w. Hall.
There are five churches in the CIR
cult these being Faith. Union. Good
Faith, Whitehall and Sulphur Springs,
and each will be represented at the
picnic by Zig delegation, as wei,
as by some mem ers who will figure
on the program of talks and music
There will be good speaking. good
singing and especially good "eating."
Sulphur Springs is said to be an
ideal place for such an affair, having
plenty Of the finest water, lots of
shade and ample protection in case
of rain. It IS, expected there will be
very large crowd, because of the
membership OF the churches in .the
circuit, and the fact that many peo-
pile from Pine Bluff will fill their
baskets and take part in the outing.

ties are: Debts due for borrowed
money and debts due for stock. The
difference is the working capitalize
amount in excess of the debts. This
means to say that if the quick assets
were all turned into cash and the
debts paid, without disturbing the
other assets, such as real estate, ma
chinery, ETC., there would be a cash
balance left over.
One of the great weaknesses of
American business life is the starting
OF business on too little capital.
Two carpenters and builders Who
have saved few hundred dollars de-
eide to be their own bosses and by
some scheming get \ piece of land.
They persuade somebody or some in
stitutiOn to agree to Loan them a GER
tain amount on the property when
complete and lay their plans carefully
and figure closely. Something goes
wrcng, the weather is cad, the work
is delayed, strikes, and liens not
reckoned with, interfc, e, and the re-
sult-failure. They lack capital; and
lacking it, lose out. They cannot car
ry theit load.
Clerks with little money and CO.
lcssal nerve begin business for tkcm-
selves, only to find bankruptcy stare
them in the face,in sh )rs tine, due
to lack of capital. A good year
makes the proprietor jubilant and
willing to gamble that the next will
be better. He moves into larger quar-
tiers, lives more extensively, buys a
car and hires his servants, only to
find depression setting in, unsettled
business conditions, competition, mis-
haps, and no way of retrenching.
Happy the man who can pied along
on the safe track, satisfied to be- sure
rather than sorry. Money is power
and impotent is the man or the bust
ness that lacks it.
Be as honest as you expect the 9TH
er fellow to be. Get all the ability
you can acquire and all you can af-
ford to buy, but do not overlook the
important fact that backbone is nee
essary in every business just as it is
in every body, and without it in suf-
ficient measure success is impossible
and failure sure to come. He is a
wise man who knows his own
strength and doesn't hitch up to more
than he can pull.

WATSON CHAPEL
BUYS TEACHERAGE

A house and three acres of land
near the Watson Chapel school has
been purchased by the commissioners
of the school, and the property will
be used as the "teacherage," or home
for Prof. D. w. Gill, the new princi-
pal of the school.
Announcement to this effect was
made yesterday by the commissions
ers, Theo Jones, w. H. Babcock and
N. H. Wilson. The property was
bought from Fred Heath, but the pur-
chase price was not divulged.
The school commissioners had
planned originally to build a home
for the principal, but with the clos
ing of the deal for the Heath proper
ty. decided to repair and enlarge the
house and use it instead. Thus the
Watson Chapel school becomes the
owner of the first teacherage in JEFF
ferSOn county.

trimmed with ribbon in ne SAME way
or silk marquisette could be used in
place of the crepe. All these materials
are in the height of style ard they
make most attractive costuElcs.
