markets that there should be no trouble
in disposing of the product each year,

N|CHOL BROTHERS WILL BUILD AT
 SHETLAND MAIN
Modern Brick Business Build- ing to Occupy Site of
 Landmark.

Another indication that the business district of Pine Bluff is extending i south on Main street is the announce ment that a two-story store building of pressed brick will be erected at the old Nichol home property at Sixth and Main. The contract for the build- has been let to K. c. Royce, and work will begin immediately. The building which will probably be completed November 1, is being erected by Jo, Will, and Currin Nichol.
 The new building will cost about $35, 900. It will be two stories in height and will probably be occupied by stores on the first floor, and of- fices on the second floor. It will have frontage of 50 feet on Main street, and no feet on Sixth avenue. The plans for the building were pre- pared by Selligman & Sdelsvard.
 The property on which the building will be erected has been in the pos session of the Nichol family for near ly 50 years.

The house has not been occupied by members of the Nichol family for years, but the property has remained in the hands of Capt. Will Nichol, prominent planter; Jo Nichol, cashier Simmons National bank, and Currin Nichol, sheriff.

 Republicans. WOULD STAMP OUT
 RADICAL AGITATION Higher Tariff, Elimination of Waste, Etc, Are Some of the Promises Held Out for Votes in
 Elections.

New York, uJne 24.-Senator Poin- dexter, republican, Washington told the Fifteenth District club here to- night that the mission of the republi- can party in the immediate future is to save the republic from the process of nation disintegration in progress during the present administration.
 Denouncing democratic vacillation and weakness in dealing with Mexico" Senator Poindexter said the republi- can party should elect a president who would fulfill the responsibilities the nation had assumed in Mexico and "reassert American honor and self re- spect, so that our citizens, lawfully in that country, would not be. forced to ransom their lives with money"
 "The suggestion now made in some quarters" he continued, "that Great Britain should be invited to restore order in Mexico should be denounced as false to our fundamental policies, and republican congress should re- store order in Mexico and adjust on correct principles it's international obligations"
 senator POlndeXtef advocated re- peal of "the act of the democratic congress, and president information alizing the Panama canal"
 Repudiation of the promise of the democratic administration to haul down the American flag in the Phil ippine islands," repeal of the extra ordinary powers vested in the presi- dent during the emergency and spedy reduction of war taxes through eli imitation of waste and ineffeciency. and the framing of tariff bill to protect industry and maintain wages.
 Turning his attention to radical agi- tators, the senator said it should be the first care of republican admin lstration to stamp out of the coun- try, the propaganda and anarchy and revolution.
