FEAR CAR SHORTAGE

Railroad officials expect a car short
age this fall if the strike does not
take place, and already they are max
ing plans, on advice of the interstate
commerce commission and their opera
tings chiefs, to release cars as quick
ly as possible after they reach their
destination.
The railroads have all been placing
heavy orders for new cars during the
present year, hut they have been un-
able to keep up with the demand Of
the shippers. The condition is one
that reflects the prosperity of the
country at large, but it is one that is
apt to cause great deal Of grievance
to the railroads. To the general in
crease in business and the heavy move
ment of grain in particular is the short
age in cars attributed

events Of the season. - brought rain
during the session and it brought
Dig rain that night. Evidently the
elements We're rejoicing over the way
The convention was conducted and the
ticket selected. II will be seen in an
other article in this paper that the
Prohibtionlsts nominated two candl-
dates. endorsed two from the Demo
cratic party and the rest from the Re-
publican party with the exception Of
two places being left vacant. Mr..
McElroy, one of the leaders in the new
movement says that he and his fol-
lowers and associates believe in Sc
.ecting the best men for Office regard
less of their politics. They want men
who are not bound To anything but
right and justice. Mr.. Winter, the
nominee for sheriff says he will en-
force the law TO the best of his abil-
ity and will see that the rights of the
farmer and citizen are respected. He
will not attempt TO close the saloons
50 long as the state and county allow
and license them TO run, but he will
require then to abide by the law in
every particular.
A few speeches were made and the
convention adjourned TO meet some
time in the near future when the va
cancies in the ticket will be filled and
probably few of the endorsements

His subject at the Fellow ship luncheon last evening was Be hold, l stand at the door and knock. If any man will hear my voict and open the door, l will come in and sup with him, and him with me-
 There is not man in Pine Bluff, to whom Jesus Christ will not come. ii that man will but open the door ot his heart unto Him." said MT. Hutch insOn "Jesus Christ does not force Himself upon any man, but He stands ready always to sup with any man who opens the door to Him."

COUNCIL DECIDES
 MONDAY WHETHER
 BORROW SlOO,OOO
Arrangements Completed by Mayor Bloom for Loan at
 About 6 Per Cent.

The city council will decide Mon day night, at it's regular session, whether or not the city will borrow $1OO,0O0.
 Arrangements for the loan have been completed and the necessary measures have been prepared and will be introduced at the council ses- sion for adoption or rejection.
 Unless the loan is completed and the money obtained, the city will be compelled to take drastic measures to reduce its operating expenses. be- cause of the fact that there is virtu- ally no money in tho treasury-hard- ly enough to meet another payroll, according to Mayor Simon Bloom.
 It is understood that the majority of the members of the council are in favor of passing the ordinance au- thorizing the mayor to borrow the S1On OOO. and it is confidently eX- reeted the measure will go thru sue ces fully, and that within a very few days thereafter, the money will pc turned over to the city and deposited in the city treasury Mayor Bloom and members or tue council who have been actiNe III t''e negotiations. were elated yesterday over the success of their efforts to locate fpanciers in the North who I would allow the city to have the money on terms which are consld- cred so generally satisfactory. con
 sidering all the conditions, and espe-
 cially that by which the city Will draw interest on it's daily balances
 the loan. it is estimated will cost the Y fM something like 6 percent, net 1 Tbe terms are considered partlcu-
 ,arlv favorable in that the city can
 repay the loan in whole or ln part
 at the end of one year, or can pay
 if off in installments over period of wears extending four or five years:
 In addition, the lenders agree that II
 the city so desires, they will take n' f outstanding scrip aggresatins $oo'ooo which will fall due in 1918. thus max
 ing it actually loan of $l50,0o9,
 The ooiniqn is generally held tha' | the leoislattlrc will adopt measure; i that will grant relief to the cities ol
 ;he state, and that these measures will bring about an increase Tn city
 revenues to such an extent that out standing obligations and current ex' ! renses can be met without eXtraof ; dinary effort. thus putting all the cities on a permanent cash basis.

Want. Sale Set Aside.

Nancy Davis, Esther Williams, John Calhoun and Virginia Jones, who are represented in their petition as Zig norant negroes" yesterday filed suit in chancery court against NJ. A. Shel- ton and the Bank of Altheimer in the effort to have set aside the sale by commissioners of 80 acres of land in which plaintiffs claim a one-half un' divided interest by inheritance from Calvin Marshall The complaint al leges that Shelton. who owned a one eighth interest, instituted suit for partition, and induced them to en- rloy his attorney to represent them charging that the purpose was mis- represented. They allege they were told the suit was to divide the land and not sell it. The complaint charges that the commissioners dis posed of the land to Shelton for s2,01O. the sale taking place March 9. 1916, but that they have not been paid any of the proceeds of the sale They charge that the land. which lies in section 16. township four. range seven, is worth $50 an acre, and that the price for which it was sold by the commissioners is not more than half it's value. The Bank of Alt heimer is made defendant because it is the holder of a mortgage for $500 executed by Shelton.
