DEMOCRATS WOULD NOT
STAND FOR DAYLIGHT LAW

Washington.-The president could
not hold the Democrats in line for the
daylight saving law. The pressure OF
the farmer was so great that congress
took fright.
The south never did take much to
the daylight saving law. People there
considered 1t a dream.
The vote on this proposition shows
one thing plainly that is. the farmer
is stronger than the labor union when
the inal show-down comes.

THE SUGAR SITUATION.

Pine Bluff just now is experlenc- ing a shortage of sugar. Louisiana and some other states were similarly affected several weeks ago. Whether the situation has improved else where, The Graphic is not informed at this time.
 One thing that stands out is: There is really no shortage of sugar sup plies. Cuba has harvested an lm- mense crop, and, as one local broker recalled, there ought to be some- where the several million tons of Javo sugar which could not be trans ported last year because of the Ger man submarine warfare.
 That there is deficiency in the sugar supply in the United States seems attributable to the manner in which the government board has op- erated, and to the strike of steve dores.
 The strike of stevedores has at least furnished the opportunity for the Louisiana planters to endeavor to put up the price of the crop they are about to harvest.
 Sugar was selling here last week at 13 cents a pound. We believe the price now is 20 cents pound. Su- gar was being retailed last week in New Orleans at 26 cents pound This week the wholesale price there is 20 IA cents in carload lots, ac- cording to quotations received here
 If the government board had per mitted all refineries to operate last year there'd be more sugar in the United States now. And, if the steve dores were not on strike, tying III shipping, sugar now in vessels ant awaiting shipment from Cuba would be going into our coffee, tea, lemon ade, pies and other dainties.
 There's plenty of sugar, appar- ently, but it isn't here. The con sumer, as usual, gets soaked.

LADY ASTOR'S RACE.

It will be rude shock to many Of the conservative old Britishers If Lady Astor, American born, is su:- cessful in her race for seat in the House of Commons.
 There are still scores of English men, who cannot bear the thought of having a foreigner serve in any way in their government. Lady Astor's reception by the voters, so far, how ever, indicates that the opposition to her on the ground that she is from another land, is small. She already has forced one candidate who op- posed her on this ground, out of the race.
 She has a splendid war record and seemingly has no selfish purposes to serve. It's possible that the British, changed in some of their rock-ribbed ideas by the war, are going to dc away with prejudice and elect her.

CRITICS, PLEASE NOTE.

Those critics of the South and of the recent riots in Phillips county are invited to take note of the trials now proceeding in the Phillips county court.
 There 122 negroes, alleged to have participated in the race riots, are be- ing tried. Several already have been sentenced. Six were sent to the chair. A score or more accepted short terms. The men are repre- sented by members of the Phillips bar who are throwing around them all of the barriers that the law per mits. The trials in every way are proceeding in legal and orderly fashion.
 These trials disprove the charge that legal hearings are never given to negroes accused of crimes against whites in the south. Phillips county has laid aside it's pistols and rifles and the court is meting out punish ment, The danger of wholesale slaughter having passed, the orderly processes of the law are being per mitted to take their course.

Bynn Yam Grocery Will Open Store
 on West Second

The Bynn Yam Gravity Grocery company will occupy the West Sec ond avenue building now used by the Kress company. The kress store is to be moved December 1 to the new building, at Fourth and Main. o. A. Utley and F. T. Holley of Memphis, vice president and manager, respec- lively of the Bynn Yam system, yes terday contracted with F. M. Alt schul to take the store building to be vacated by the Kress store, for 3 1-2 years from December 15. Mir Hol- ley will remain here to organize the new company. Mir. Utley left yester- day for Little Rock and Hot Springs to arrange for launching stores there. The Bynn Yam company now has 16 stores in operation.
 The Pine Bluff store will be the second in this state, the other Is at Blytheville. The stores operate on the cash and carry plan. By paten- ted device, customers are served rap idly and operating costs kept low. Mr. Utley explained the plan of organiza- tion to be the formation of com pany with 100 shares at $35 each, of which the local manager is to take 10. He says dividends of 5 per cent a month are paid on gross sales of $4,000, enabling the shareholders to obtain $14.40 a year on their $35 stock. If gross sales exceed $4,0OO, the dividends increase, he said.
 "We know before we open that sales will exceed $4,OOO," said Mir. Utley And We know that our costs and operating expenses will enable us to make profits permitting the payment of S120 month in divi- dends."
 Mir. Utley expressed gratitude for aid he had received from E. B.. Bloom. secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and requested this assist ance be mentioned in the ''write-up"
 They helped us a lot," he sail. "and l want them to have credit for it."

COLD WATER STRIK ES.

The World published on Sunday all article on the steel strike which con- tained this notable piece of informa- tion:
 Making all allowance for the dis orders of the past few days, no strike in the steel industry and few strikes of such extent in any other industry have been so free from violence.
 Partly this is because the men have shown an extraordinary inclina- tion to good behavior, which speaks well indeed for their leaders, since the great majority of the men are so new in their union that they have had chance to know little if any, thing of the discipline that is in- stllled into older men.
 More, however, is due to the fact that prohibition laws are being en- forced in the Pittsburgh district. If the men had been able to get liouor there would unquestionably have been a very different story to tell. If they should come to be able 70 re. liquor there still might be very different story. There is no shadow even, of disagreement among the au. thorities as to this, and the authori- ties immediately in charge of the si. uation are men who have lived among strikers all their lives.
 "To prohibition must be added he Pennsylvania State Constabulary. The combination of alcoholic drough. and that splendidly efficient anc fearless force is too strong for eve. twice the number of men new O. striks to overcome"
 Our neighbor has not taken kindl, to the cold water regime. Bu. that regime is a soothing factor in time. of passion and disturbance. A yer, large share of the violence accom- psnying strikes has been due :. whisky. The extreme labor leader

Mass Meeting at Gould Establishes
 Race Confidence

Gould, Ark, Nov. 6.-White and colored citizens of Gould, in gen eral mass meeting here last Sunday evening attended by more than 400 citizens, declared against race riots, lynchings and all forms of lawless ness, and the two races covenanted to stand together ih the common cause to enforce law and order and to maintain the friendly relation be- tween the races in the future as has been the good fortune of the past.
 There were several prominent white citizens who made interesting speeches, among whom were Judge c. H. Joslyn of Gould, J. D. Crockett of South Bend and Sheriff J. G. Mo Clain of Lincoln county. Judge Joslyn spoke the sentiment of the white citizens, setting forth in his argument that all law-abiding citi- zens would be protected under the laws and that all law breakers would be severely dealt with.
 The colored citizens were repre- sented by J. A. Page, colored, who outlined the general disposition of the negro, appealing to the white people to consider the negro as a feeble and defenseless people who took pattern after them, affirming that whatever the negro was and hoped to be was imbeded in the doc trines of the white race.

OIL DRILLING IN ALABAMA.

The petroleum produced in Alas ka is derived wholly from a single patented claim in the Katalla oil field, according to the U. s. geolo- gical survey, department of the in terior. The old wells on this claim and the refinery were operated as usual in 1918. Two new wells were also drilled in the Katalla field. The total production in 1918 was some what larger than in 1917.
