Bryan Declares Edwards Will Talk
 Himself to Death

Asheville, N. C., Jan. 30.-'I hope he will keep on talking. No cham pion of the liquor traffic can talk long without insulting the conscience and sense of decency of the country said Wm. J. Bryan, when shown a copy of Governor Edwards state- ment in reply to his Bristol speech
 "The more Governor Edwards talks the more ashamed Chairman Cunl- mings will be of giving responsibility to his candidacy, and the more cer- tain it will be that prominent demo- crats will have other engagements when invited to his meetings" con tinued Colonel Bryan.
 "Governod Edwards candidacy is an offense against the democratic party and the sooner he finds out that he is going up against stone wall and settle down to champion ship with those who used to be en gagged in the criminal business of which he has become the most con, spicuous champion, the sooner the party will be able to turn it's attea- tion to the important work before it."
 Governor Edwards in his statement said MT. Bryan wanted to establish the Harmony of Death" in the demo- cratic party and that if he had his way the San Francisco convention would be the "morgue" from which would be picked the "corpse" to ap- pea rat the November national fun eral"

65 Train Wrecks in Mexico During
 the Last Year

Washington, Jan. S0.-Sixty- -fou' instances of attacks. derailments and dynamiting of trains in Mexico during the last year are classified as serioas ih an official report, d copy of which reached Washington today. The instances reported were chiefly in the northern part oi the country and on the Mexican line between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, and the lstkmus line.
 The report makes a point of the feet that the larger number of these weeks as result O. rebel activi- ties occurred during the first hali gsrd this as due to the refusal of of the year and officials here re- the United States to permit ship ments of arms and munitions, in cluding dynamite, into Mexico during the second half of tho year.
 The decrease in the number of these outrages was credited in the report. however, to changes in the personnel of the railroad administra- tion, the appointment of General Manager Fontes to handle the rail roads and his activities on inspec- tica tips in various parts of the country. The building of se- rics of blockhouses along the Vera Cruz-Mexico City line occupied by soldiers is given as q reason for the decrease or that line.
 The railroads suffered losses of S50.G00. eight locomotives and TO freight and passenger cars as re- suit of the rebel raids, the report said. In addition to this. more than SG50,00a worth of freight and bag gage was reported to have been lost or stolen by rebels.

FINANCING EUROPE

X MT. Glass warning to coterie o1 s,financiers that worlds financia scongress must be careful not to in Evolve the United States government Sin any supposed plans for financia readjustment is we'll taken. At tho 9 ptesent time there are too man! amen in high places in the United 2 States who arc advocating energeti'
 cally and strenuously measures fo'
 the financial relief of the war strick'
 en nations. All of these plans can
 not be adopted. It is probable that
 not one of them will be put into eff
 feet. They are likely to have tho
 effect of dcmoralizing financial con
 ditions at home and in Europe. Ii
 Mir. Glass follows up his disapprova
 of the world financial congress, by
 arranging with his co-workers in the < administration and with congress fol Ia permanent financial reconstruction plan, he will have done much to re- lieve the situation.
 sHis remarks that further loans tt Europe will not be forthcoming however, indicates that he may not
 insist upon helpful financial pol } icy. It is difficult to understand
 how the United States can refuse
 to lend money for the reconstruction of Europe. We already have sunl
 billions in European nations. If W.
 expect to recover it, we much fur nish them with enough to keep then
 on their feet financially. Otherwise they cannot pay. Future loans tt
 Europe can be secured by mortgages on the possessions of the nations themselves. We can insist upor approving or disapproying the man
 ner in which the money we lend i' to be spent. But if we refuse t

 The sensation of the year in the Irug trade is Aspironal, the two minute cold and cough reliever, au- ,noritatively guaranteed by the la ooratories; tested, approved and nost enthusiastically endorsed by one highest authorities, and pro- claimed by the common people at 10 times as quick and effective as whiskey, rock and rye, or any oth- CT cold and cough remedy they nave ever tried.
 All drug stores are now supplied with the wonderful new elixir, so as ,,ou have to do to get rid of that cold is to step into the nearest drug tore. hand the clerk half dol lar for a bottle of Aspironal and tell him to serve you two teaspoon fuls with four teaspoonfuls of water in a glass. With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swallow and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel your cold fading away like a dream within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all druggists invite ou and expect y>u to try it. Ev- ,rybody's doing il
 When your cold or cough is re- lieved, take the remainder of the bottle home to your wife and babies, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to take and the most agreeable cold and cough remedy for infants and hildren --fAdv.) dtf

THE FLU" SITUATION.

A committee from the Chamber of
 Commerce, county and city health
 officers, physicians and members O!
 the school board will hold meet
 ing this morning at which the influ- cnza situation will be discussed. This meeting is being held as result of action taken by the chamber yester- day. It ought to produce the first complete and trustworthy report that we have had on the influenza situation in Pine Bluff.
 On the face of what is developed future action will be determined. It was suggested yesterday that the school and the movies be closed for 10 days. It is not believed that the disease has reached stage in 5 Pine Bluff where such action will te necessary. However, if it devel- ops this morning that the situation X is serious, this action should be talk en at once.
 The point about the whole situa- tion is that we are making this morning our first effort to find out what we should have known several days ago.
 It is necessary to call together the local doctors, the chamber com- mittee and the city and county health n,fh hnr rt <A ;,,I n,,t c. n,% ought to be on file, revised day by day, in the office of both the city and county health officers.
 It is to be hoped that the gentle men who are to meet this morning after they have ascertained just what the present situation is and have dc vised means for meeting it, will in 4sist upon the physicians and the Shealth authorities keeping an. up-to- the minute record of diseases in sPine Bluff and in Jefferson county The doctors have not been reporting cases of influenza to the authorities The authorities have not been in- sssisting that these diseases be re- ported promptly. We have been rocking along and it has been pos sible for an epidemic of influenza sto creep up on and envelop this sscity without the people knowing sanything about it.
 x Last year the flu" killed more people Tn Pine Bluff than Pine Bluff Host in the army. Nothing has ever brought death to the homes of Pine sBlutf like last years outbreak. It. worth considering. It's certainly worth while for doctors to report sthese cases promptly and for the Nhealth authorities to watch then, closely, if by so doing we can pre- vent another outbreak like that Q 1918.

Fire between IL and IL O'Clock

t Fire between IL and IL O'Clock
Thursday morning completely des-
; trcyed a house near the Mollohon
mill, situated out of the city limits
from Glenn street. 1t was occupied
by three families lately from Tennes-
see. The smaller children were in
The house at the time They were
saved from the fire by Mr.. Pierce
Banks and others. The household
effects were also destroyed. The
house was far gone when the alarm
was sounded and practically burned
down when the fire company reached
the place, but the fire fighters saved
near houses.
Monday night while the lights were
out, except candle lights and the
lights from kerosene lamps, and
everything looked dark and gloomy,
there was a brilliant contrast in the
store Of Geo. C. Hipp with the
bright lights from his Silent Alamo
light and power plant run by the
Farmers Light and Power company.
What a difference. It made people
wonder how they ever did without
electricity. The lighting up Of Hipp's
store on Monday night was big
advertisement for the Silent Alamo.
More people ought to use that power.
It would pay.
Believing that his services would
be needed, Superintendent Homer
Schumpert of the power plant was at
the office during the very inclement
weather Monday, although he had
only been from home two days be-
fore, having come down on Satur-
day in the pleasant weather of that
day. He had just recovered from a
relapse of typhoid, but considered it
his duty to be at the office after the
sleet had done so much harm to the
poles and wires. He came and work
ed and his services were very much
needed. This is what might be called
"being on the firing line" in face of
danger. We are glad it did him no
hurt. He is all right except as to his
feet, which are giving him a little
trouble.
