 The street car system and the au- tomobile made their advent in Ok mulgee about the same time ten years ago, the dispatch says, and although the city has about 18,000 population, so few patronize the street cars that it has proved unprofitable, and the franchise has been surrendered. Not a vestige of the system will remain in month, says the street railway officials.
 Not all view the departure of the street railway with equanimity. TheI without automobiles, many residing in outlying districts, real es- tate men and others interested in the growth of the city are greatly perturbed.

ROUMANIA HOPES TO REMAIN NEUTRAL IN
 THE POLISH CRISIS
Will CO-Operate With Allies If It Becomes Neces-
 Sary

London, Aug. 6.-Rumania's atti- tude in the Russo-Polish conflict is one of the strictest neutrality but in event of any joint action becoming necessary, Rumania will cooperate with the remainder of the allies, ac- cordng to M. Titulesco, Rumanian minister of finance, who notified Great Britain to that effect today. It is stated in official Rumanian quarters here that there is no foun- dation for the statement that Ru- mania is willing to give Poland mili- ! tary support if Great Britain and France supply financial aid. Ruma- nia's concentration of troops on the frontier is declared to be merely pre- cautionary and it is said there is no question of any individual action by Rumania.

Auto Wheels Crush
 Out Child's Life
Everyone

will sympathlze With the parents of the little victim of this Memphis accident. It is to be deplored, as are all mis- haps.
 Right here in Pine Bluff it is common to see little tots play ing in the streets, lodging au- JOS by hairs breadth; boy bicy- clists "coasting" while holding to an auto or street car, care fully keeping out of sight of driver or motorman.
 Blame for the Mempsis acci- dent can attach to no one, seem- ingly--it was just one of those unavoidable" mishaps all re- gret.
 But how many people will con- sider similar accidents in the same light-especially if a cor poration owns the vehicle. Yet the corporations are doing every thing possible to avert acci- dents-preaching to employees and public alike against incurr- ing unnecessary risk.

MISSISSIPPI READY
 ID ROLL UP USUAL PARTY MAJORITY
Some Republicans Claim Larg- est Vote In Years, But Even This Would Not Mean
 Anything
By E. P FRANTZ

Jackson, Miss, November 1-(SpeciaL) Mississippi stands ready to roll up the usual democratic majority in Tuesdays election for President of the United States. There has been very little bet ting on this election--for reasons not at all necessary to explain
 Sentiment is that MT. Cox has made a wonderful canvass, and the people of Mississippi are, as a rule, with him. It is claimed by some of the republicans that they are going to poll q larger vote tnan they have for many years in this state-one of them, himself republican presidential elector, venturing the pre- diction that they will receive 10000 votes, or about double their vote four years ago. That is possible, but hardly proba- ble. There are a few disgruntied demo- crats who will not vote at all but some of that number will no doubt, vote for MT. Harding instead of losing their vote entirely. It is likely that an even larger number will vote the socialist ticket than do the republican but even with deflec tion in two different directions the democratic majority will not be seri- ously reduced
 It is not expected that Mississippi will poll much more than half vote the state never does in presidential election, nor in any other election. The primary is what counts here and it is in the primary that Mississippians al- ways vote their strength. Ihe fact that congressman are also to be elected cuts little figure, there being no doubt of

The office pays no salary, but is considered of great importance, as millions of the people, S money Is to be spent in building good roads.

LARGER VOTE LIKELY

of the amendments to the constitution that are to be voted on this time, larger democratic vote than usual may be boiled. Considerable interest Ina s been aroused over the first amendment on the ticket. This amends section ITO of the constitution and clips the wings of boards of supervisors of the several counties so that the state highway commission may have authority over all state roads, ferries and bridges-or, rather that the board of supervisors shall have only such Jurisdiction over roads, ferries and bridges as may be prescribed by the legislature, to be ex- ercised in accordance with such regu- lations as the legislature may pre- scribe; and perform such other duties as may be required by law" The legis- la ture agreed to the submission of this amendment for the reason that it was made plain the highway commission could do nothing worthwhile when op posed by county boards of supervisors There would be entirely too many bosses when it came to building state road thorugh ten or fifteen counties at one time. it was successful ly argued. Ii is understood that great majority of boards of supervisors have fallen in line on this proposition, but some of them are making war to the Knife on the proposed amendment.
 Another important amendment, so far as the people directly interested are concerned is that which changes the method of selecting levee commissions CTS from appointment by the governor to election by the people The levee board has always been one of the gov ernor's heaviest assets, and he and his friends are very reluctant to give 1t over to the people. But. the people of the delta who pay the greater portion of the taxes of the state and thereby contribute largely to the support and maintenance of the schools of the hill counties. will be given what they want the right to elect their levee boards and control the expenditure of the mil lions of dollars annually collected through these boards for the protection of their property and their lives against the floods.
