Doctor Bishop spoke on the cause.
consequences and cure of mob vio-
lence. He referred to lynchings as
the "grea. American sport" and
mentioned that in 1915 the record of
deaths by mob violence fell below the
average there being 60 lynchings 61
of which occurred in the south. The
prevalence of mob violence. he de-
clared, has dulled the public con-
science with RESPECT to the sacrednesS
of human life and sanctity otthe law.
Mob violence is anarchy in its re-
lation to government and brutal saw
agery as compared to civilization.
Lynchinss increase lawlessness rather
than promulgating respect for laws.

people and aggravates race antip-
athy."
Educational Campaign.
The eradication of mob violence, he
said, would be achieved through the
effort of the press, pulpit and schools
by a campaign of education to direct
sentiment against lynchings and in
support of law and order.
A plea for cooperation by white
people for development of the negro
along lines of efficiency was made
by Bishop Bratton. THE prosperity
of the SOUTH" he declared. "is de-
pendent upon the productiveness of
its soil and this depends upon the in
dustry and intelligence of its labor
ers. With the negro as the principal
laborer of the south, it behooves the
white citizens to open wide to him
the door of efficiency"

The Extravaganza of Buying
Cheap Tires.

Mr.. Brisbane. who is probably
the highest paid editorial writer
in the world and who is himself
and ardent motorist says:
"Automoble extravaganza IS
based oftener on the buying OF
tires and tubes without character
than on any other department OF
automobiling.
Study the tire question 1oi
Yourself; act in the purchase OF

carnival hats and costumes, and
a parade of gayly decorated
automobiles, headed by a float
filled with beautiful young ladies
robed in white, escorted the Wis
itors to the courthouse where an
enthusiastic reception was held.
The first mention made by the
chairman of Mrs. Riley brought
an ovation from the large audi
ence and she was repeatedly
cheered throughout the program.
County Judge Gallow welcomed
the editors and in his address
spoke of the progress OF the
good roads in the county and the
good work Mrs. Riley had done
in behalf of same. Mayor Blod-
gett also paid a tribute to the
work of Mrs. Riley. The lady,
whose home is now at Walnut
Ridge, made a short talk and
stated she was indeed glad to be
back home. She paid a beauti-
full tribute to ''old friends. "
Pat Henderson amused the audi
ence with his song, Il Amt
Coin Cry No More. -
At Fordyce the train was met
by a large delegation of residents
and the members of the party
taken for ride over the city in
automobiles. Mayor Mack Harris
and j. j. Harrison, superinten-
dent of schools, welcomed the
editors at an informal reception
at the Desha county courthouse.
The News editor and wife enjoy
ed a ride over the city by courte-
sy Of Mr.. R. w. Evans who has
the Overland agency there.
The city of Pine Bluff was our
host Thursday night. An auto
drive over the famous Dollarway
pike, free electrical shows and a
big ball and reception at the Ho-
tel Pines constituted the best por-
ton of our entertainment there.
A panoramic photograph of the
party was made upon our arrival
there. A visit to the shops of
the Cotton Belt Ry. Go. proved
interesting to all.
At Stuttgart the visitors were
met by large crowd, and after
being driven over the city in
autos, were presented with SOU
venir sacks of rice. The stop was
not long.

Smith welcomed the party at

mine Funk of Benton responded.
The excursionists were taken for
an auto ride and rendered an in
formal reception at the Arkan-
sas county courthouse, where the
program was held. Refreshments
were served. Many members of
the party rode in autos to Gillet,
the next stop.

Milwee and a large committee of
residents, accompanied by a
band, met the train, whisked the
visitors in autos over well-oiled
streets, gave an informal recep-
ton at the courthouse and din
ner at the New South Inn. The
affair was so we'll managed that
the stop lasted only an hour.
Punch was served at the court
house, and a short program given
in the courtroom. j. B. Moore
presided. The Rev. H. B. Trim
BILE, pastor of the Methodist
church, welcomed the editors,
and responses were made by W.
F. Turner of Atkins, T. E. Wood
and Edwin Stewart, traffic mana
ger of the Cotton Belt.
Receptions that rivaled the one
at Rison Thursday greeted the
tourists of the Arkansas Press
Association at all stops Friday.
The hospitality was SO generous
that the train arrived at Brinkley
Friday night nearly five hours
behind scheduled time. However
several hundred residents and a
large chorus of school children
greeted the special on it's arrival
at 8:45 p. m. The dinner that had
been planned was changed to a
garden party, and a reception
and dance at the Elks' Club fol-
lowed. The garden party was
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
B. Folsom. Mayor C. F. Green
lee and G.. Otis Boyle, Democra-
tic nominee for prosecuting at
torney, welcomed the visitors.
Ray Gill responded.
The editors were entertained
at breakfast at the Rusher
Hotel by w. B. Folsom and W.
B. Williams, the Brinkley mem
bers of the association.
The special was met with autos
at Jonesboro Saturday morning
and the members of the party
were driven out to the State
Agricultural School where we
saw Wade Jeffries of this city
who is there in school.
Paragould gave the editors one
of the most rousing receptions
on the trip. The train was met
by committee, which included
C. w. Highfill, former member
of the State Highways Commits
sion, and a band. Headed by the
band, the party paraded three
blocks to new Vandervoort hotel.
There a Reception Committee de-
corated the members with flow
ers and an informal reception
was held in the lobby. An or
chestra, which played at the re-
ception, suggested dancing and
members of the party danced

HOLIDAY AT GILLETT

prised the visitors more than any
other on the trip. Practically
the entire population greeted the
train.
Stores were closed and the oc-
casion was made general holl-
day. Automobiles brought the
party to a grove in the city,
where the most elaborate dinner
of the trip was served in picnic
style by women of the town to
the scribes and several hundred
residents who accompanied them.
The meat was cooked by direc-
ton of Yves Moore, famous negro
character of the county, who for
merly was a slave on the old
Moore estate on which the town
stands. Moore says he does not
know how old he is.
The Rev. c.. F. Pittmann well
coined the visitors. He told of
the industries of the town and
said that in 1915 Gillett shipped
500 cars of rice raised on 800
acres. It's value, he said, was
S516, 762. This year more than
10000 acres is planted in rice, he
said.
President C. A. Berry, R. L.
Brawner of Heber Springs and
T. E. Wood responded. Mr..
Wood, former editor of the
Mariana Courier and chairman
of the Arkansas, Railroad Com
mission, urged a closer relation
between the railroads and the
people. The railroads, he said,
have more to do with the de-
velopment of the state than any
other agency. He complimented
the Cotton Belt on being the on
ly road in the state not in the
hands of a receiver and said this
is due to excellent management.
VISITS FIRST STATE CAPITAL
From Gillette the party was
taken in autos to Arkansas Post
eight miles away, the site of the
first state capital. The spot
where the capitol building stood
now is in the middle of the
Arkansas river, which has caved
in several hundred feet. The
fact that the Gazette, the oldest
paper in the state, was founded
at Arkansas Post, made the trip
more interesting to the party.
A feature of the days program
was the music of the Newman
orchestra aboard the train, COM
posed of Capt. J. R. Newman,
editor of the Harrison Times;
his daughters, Agnes and Mary,
and sons, Thomas, John Jr. and
Henry. They played at Gillett,
Brinkley and other points on the
trip.
