PLACE OF sAMsoN's BURIAL
Memory Of Samson Has Been Pre-
served for Many Ages In Historic
City Of GAIA.

A correspondent with the army be-
fore GAIA mentions Samson Ridge. Is
the name native or newly coined?
tasks correspondent. The Hebrew
hero is honored still in GAIA, though
not by his name. A mosque in the
eastern quarter of the town known as
Ali Merwan-the imprisoned-is re-
vered as his tomb. It is modern
cenotaph, and the tradition is record
ed in the middle ages
Saladin plundered the city, but fall
ed to take the cathedral, garrisoned
by Templars. But eventually GAIA
fell to the Saracens, and by the treaty
between Saladin and Richard Of Eng
land in 1892 it was adjudged to remain
in their hands. The Templars held
the place barely 38 years, but evi,
dence Of their tenure remains in the
great mosque. which is none other
than the Cathedral Of st. John the
Baptist built by the Templars.
Conspicuous on hill just outside
GAIA, on the southeast, are the three
white cupolas of Ali ell Muntal, and
here yearly festival is held by the
Moslems. 1t is held to be the place
to which Samson carried the gates Of
the Temple of Dragon. The word
Muntar simply means lookout, but in
certain other spots the name of
Shemsun ell Jaffer--Samson the Hero
may be traced.
It was in 1170-the year Of the
great earthquake-that Saladin launch
ed the forces against GAIA, the first
operation in a campaign which lasted
q years.

SHOWING
 GREAT INTEREST IN SORGHUM PLANT
Many Inquiries Received at Chamber of Commerce on
 Planting of Crop.

The farmers of the county are show ing great interest in the new sorghum plant to be erected in this city by the Fort Scott Sorghum-Syrup company. Numbers of them called at the Cham Der of Commerce yesterday in re- sponse to an advertisement run in The Graphic Sunday setting forth the needs of the new concern, and much interest was manifested in the pros- pect of a local market for profitable crop that could be easily produced in this section.
 A committee of farmers from the vicinity of Atwood, on the Hot Springs and Western railroad, called to ask J. A. Richards, who is in charge of the opening of the new plant, if his com pany would establish a concentration station at Atwood. They stated that if the company would do this the farm CTS of the vicinity would agree to raise enough sorghum to make the venture profitable. Mr. Richards states that he will make trip to the vicinity of Atwood today in order to take up the question of establishing station there.
 MT. Richards has not decided on a location for the new plant, but says that he nav be able to make definite statement within a few days.

 FOR AUTO SHOW
So Says a Leading Automo- bile Dealer in Talking off
 Proposed Exhibit.

Interest among local automobile and accessory men in the proposed automo. bile show is growing. Several dealers today expressed themselves as heart fly in favor of the project and willing to do all in their power to make it a success.
 "Pine Bluff is the logical place for an automobile show" said Roy Sen- "Southeast Arkansas is the natural field for the automobile salesman in this state and it can be reached cas- fest thru this city. Our company has the state agency on the Cole and Velie cars and we are now preparing to give up the northern part of the state and concentrate our efforts in South and Southeast Arkansas, as we believe that to be by far the best field.
 "An automobile show here would mean great thing to the local deal CTS as stimulant to their business. and would create a spirit of cooperation that would be very valuable to the buisness of all of them."
 The opinion expressed by Mr.. Sen yard is echoed by several other auto mobile dealers. Hicks Riley of the Pine Bluff branch of the Little Rock Motor Car company said:
 "We are going after that show. If anything should prevent our putting 1t over this year, we have an organiza- tion perfected that will assure one for next year."
 Every dealer spoken to expressed his determination to be on hand at the meeting to be held tomorrow night at the Chamber of Commerce, and to see that his salesman also attend. :,

WORK IS BEN EXPEDITED

Alexandrians, officials as well as
private individuals, are at work earn
estly in cleaning up the city. The al
thorities are investigating conditions
in each section, and everything in any
way unsantary or unsightly is being
removed. Much progress in the work
has been made, and within the next
week Or ten days there is every rea-
son TO believe Alexandria viii be given
a cleaen bill of health.
The recent order issued by the COM
mandant at Camp Humphreys forbid
ding soldiers o .fthat rendezvous to
procure refreshments in our city Will,
it is believed, prove blessing III dis
euise, as it has brought to the birth
a sanitary spirit which is bringing
forth fruit. And It can be confidently
stated that the city sill not only be
rendered clean in every particular, bit
be kept clean.
The meeting at the rooms Of the
Chamber of Commerce last night WAS
well-attended, and the address of Dr..
Lumsden, of the United States public
health service, was listened to with
close attention by al present.
The doctor was epigramatic 1T
times, and among ether things said:
"The best definition he ever heard of
sanitation was, Sanitation is a Com
mon Sense Application of the Princi-
pies of Cleanliness. A little girl once
declared it means 'Gctting things
cleaned and keeping them Cleaned.
The speaker declared that human

babies are allowed to he killed an
nually by permitting filth to be scat
tered around.
The success OF the work, he again
declared, depends on the people. There
is nothing to be done here that is not
feasible, he told his hearers.
DR.. w. L. Wood, who is in Alexan-
dria in connection with the sanitary
campaign. states that the work is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, and that be-
fore long he hopes to have installed At
the foot of Wolfe street 4 waste dis
posal station, and also hopes to be
able secure an incarceration plant for
the disposal Of all garbage. \ crew
for cleaning up the garbage of,thc city
has been organized and new is ut

and the above suggestions meet with
the hearty appreciation Of all.
