HAYS WILL NOT TAKE
 STUMP FOR HODGES
Governor Now Denies That He Ever Threatened to Do S0.--DOesn't Know If Hodges Would
 Approve.

Little Rcck, Jan. 26.-L, is not at all likely that Governor Hays will take the stump for MT. Hodges for governor. His position in the matter Is clearly set forth in the following letter addressed to T. E. Haley and c. w. Highfill of Paragculd.
 'I am in receipt of your very kind invitation to open a campaign for MT. Hodges in your city. I thank you very much for your kindness but beg to say that I have never made the statement that I would take the stump in the interest of MT. Hodges or any one else. I stated that since Dr. Brough had endeavcred to drag me into the campaign would give the people an opportunity to know my views with reference to his atti- trde on public matters. did not state how this would be done. d. not even know whether or not it would Teet with the approval of MT. Hodges and his friends for me to make speeches in the campaign; neither do I know that would even want to do so."

BASEBALL FANS CALLED ID MEET
 THIS FORENOON
c. of c. Must Be Ready to Talk Business with Biz
 League Club Men.

Every baseball fan in Pine Bluff Is expected to attend a meeting at the cnamber of commerce assembly hall q. II o'clock this forenccn, personal invitations having been sent out yes terday to nearly 100 persons, and a blanket invitation having been issued to all other fans, that no one might be overlooked. Y
 At the meeting, there will be dls- cussion of the proposition of bring ing here Q big league club, for train- ing purposes this spring. The matter will be considered in, all it's details, that the officers of the chamber of commerce may know exactly what are the wishes of the baseball fans as we'll as the business men, and may bC able to make a business-like pro- position to the officers and other rep- Iesentatives of the club, who will be here today or tomcrrcw.
 Secretary E. B. Bloom of the cham- Der of commerce has arranged to meet the visitors when they arrive, and to give them all the information and data they may require, as to the ball grounds, dressing rooms, baths, gymnasium, hotel accomIDdations, and other such things. all of which are vitally needed by baseball player during the training season. j.
 He will be assisted by the members O, the athletic committee of the chamber af commerce, which gent out the call yesterday for the meet ing, and which is composed of V. NJ. Harrison. chairman: Elmer Richards, Thurman Louthan. J. c. White, Mayor Simon Bloom, Junius Jordan, IT,, and w. N. Trulock. with E. B. Blconu as secretary.
 It is believed Pine Bluff has an ex- cellent chance to be selected as the training quarters of this particular biz league club, not only for this year, but for period of years. As mentioned in the call for the meet ing, 1t is "worth great deal to have this bunch of players and newspaper men with them, in this city for few weeks each year." not only directly, but also because of the great amount Q. advertising that Pine Bluff would obtain therefrom.

We have in these columns advocated
repeatedly for day electric current but
it seems that before citizens could get
satisfactory use from the various
electric appliances on the market, our
system will have to undergo a change
from a 1873 cycle to 60 cycle. AS
most of the electric devices such as
fans and etc., are only made for 60
cycle use. it will be seen the trouble
there would be at the very start.
Then let Council look into this mat
ter of change and give the long
needed service. Smyrna shoIld be as
progressive as its sister towns.

TAKING BROAD VIEW OF LIFE
Possibly 1t Would Be Better for All
OF Us II We Followed the Ad-

We laugh at the man who frets and
vexes himself over transient condi-
donS as though they were permanent

meet with in travelling, the people you
estimate at the lowest figure for good
sense or good breeding are the fussy
ones who are always grumbling about
the food, or the walters, or the beds.
or the hot weather, processing to find
nothing as anticipated, or as they have
been accustomed to having it. But do
we recognize the larger application of
this principle? Suppose we simply en-
large the spaces little, and set this
life of go, 20, fourscore years over
against the eternal life Of the future.
As the vestibule is to the hall, as the
half-hour of transit ON the car is to
the days business, so is this life to
that. Do we realize it? Do we real
ly look upon this life as only the ante
chamber, or the few minutes of travel
to the place of full occupation? Can
we bring ourselves to regard our real
life as beginning only when this life
of transformers shall be over, to look
for our permanent interests in the
life beyond, and to treat the affairs
Of this life accordingly? Let's try-

Fishes With Lanterns.

Among the most remarkable fishes
are those provided with lanterns Of
their own and which swim in the dark
recesses of the bottom of the deem
ocean where no ray of natural light
from above can penetrate, saws the
Popular Science Monthly. A model of
one OF these fishes, notable for its
phosphorescent organs, is on exhibition
In the United States National museum.
Inc sides of the fish are dotted at reg-
ular intervals with luminous spots. In
ADDITION there is large luminous area
ike lantern on the top of the head.
In the model the luminous spots ON
the sides are represented by buttons
OF glass connected with the interior
by tubes. The luminous protuberance
on the head was modelled in gelatin
and then tinted. When in actual on
Grafton the model is connected with
electric current so that a distinct glow
appearing in the side spots and the
frontal lantern" produces a very striJ,-
ing and, it is believed by fish experts
quite accurate representation of the
appearance of living phosphorescent
ueep-sea hsh. The model is about a
foot long.

Spanish Mines In Mexico.


Except among mining men the gen.
erally-prevailing idea exists that the
Spaniards did little real deep mining
In Mexico, hence must have left val
liable ore bodies unworked. AS a mat
ter Of fact they operated in their slow,
methOdical manner at surprising
depth. For example, the deepest shaft
until very recent years at any rate
on the Mother Lode in the rich
GuanajuatO district was the Trio gen.
eral at the Falenciana mine. Obre-
gon, a Spaniard, put the shaft down
and 1t cost a million pesos. The
bonanza 1t uncovered yielded over
three hundred times its cost. It is
1900 feet deep, 80 feet in diameter,
octagonal in section, and lined with
solid masonry for the first hundred
feet. In striking contrast to modern
shafts, not a stick of timber was used
to support the walls. Hoisting was
accomplished by mule power. Eight
malacates, or horse whims, one hoist
ing from each face of the octagon,
raised the broken rock to the surface
in rawhide buckets. Water now
stands in the shaft 900 feet below the
collar.

While the matter of the appoint
ment of a Secretary of State will be
entirely a personal appointment of
the new governor, the Times shares
the wish with a number of citizens
that the Hon. George H. Hall, of
Milford, who will have only served
two years of the present administra-
tion, be renamed for the place.
Mr.. Hall is thorough business man
and has brought to the office a record
for business like methods that is highly

will do well to keep him at the State

HUXLEY AS A PESSIMIST
English Philosopher Took a Dark
View Of Mans Pilgrimage
Through the Ages.

know no study which is so unut-
terably saddening as that of the evo-
luton of humanity, as it is set forth
in the annals of history. Out of the
darkness of prehistoric ages man
emerges with the marks of his lowly
origin strong upon him. He is brute,
only more intelligent than the other
brutes; blind prey to impulses, which
as often as not lead him to destruc-
ton; a victim to endless illusions,
which make his mental existence q
terror and a burden, and fill his phys
ical life with barren toll and battle.
He attains a certain degree of phys
ical comfort, and develops a more or
less workable theory of life, in such
favorable situations as the plains Of
MesOpOtamia or of Egypt, and then,
for thousands and thousands of years,
struggles with varying fortunes, at
tended by infinite wickedness, blood
shed and misery, to maintain himself
at this point against the greed and the
ambition of his fellow men.
he makes a point of killing and 9TH
erwise prosecuting all those who first
try to get him to move on; and when
he has moved on a step, foolishly con-
fers post mortem dedication on his
victims. He exactly repeats the proc
ess with all who want to move a step
yet farther. And the best men of the
best epochs are simply those who
make the fewest blunders and commit
the fewest sins.-Thomas 81. Huxley.
