SEEK TO IMPROVE
SILVER SITUATION

The mining Industry should be proud
Of Senator'S Henderson and Pittman Of
Nevada, says the Mining and Financial
Review. Both of these gentlemen are
constantly on the alert to do something
for the mining industry. Nevada has
the Invest bunch of mining men In the
west. and this Is saying a great deal
when We consider that the Rocky
mountain country Is teeming with min
ing activity at the present time. But
Nevada is big state and the mining
men there are big. broad-minded OPP
orators constantly looking for another
Comstock. a Goldfield or a Tonopah.
Senator Pittman is the author of the
Pittman law which pledges the United
States to reproduce 250.0o0.000 ounces
of silver for the United States treasury.
Now Senator Henderson has intro
duced bill TO authorize loans on sill
yer bullion: to regulate interstate ship
ments of ore containing silver. and for
other purposes" This bill IL 1t is en-
acted into law will enable silver pro-
ducers in the country to borrow S7h
cents an ounce on all silver produced.
rather than to be compelled to sell on
a market as low as the government
protected price of 81 an ounce.
Our financiers must be asleep at the
switch down in Washington to allow
the British to SO manipulate the silver
market as to get the price down SO
unreasonably below 81 per ounce. Ev-
identity Washington does not under
stand the situation. 1t would appear
that silver producers need selling or
ganization such as the copper pro-
ducers now maintain. In the present
limited silver production there Is no
question but that with buying pool
large enough to carry even one or two
million ounces OF silver the price today
would be nearer 81 an ounce than II
an ounce. Senator Henderson's bill
would provide a plan somewhat SINH
lar to buying pool. The bill will have
some mighty rough shedding before II
becomes a law. as 1t seems to be the
spirit of eastern financial centers and
Washington to help the miners as little
as possible. The American congress II
doing a good work in overcoming this
condition and by keeping everlastingl,
after congress the mining industry may
again be made prosperous.

due to the large tonnage treated a

overtaken them. It was only when
 the Jefferson Guards left Pine Bluff
 that the people seemed to understand
 that war had overtaken them. Still
 the incidents attendant on the leave
 taking of that gallant band were of Q holiday nature when compared to the after leave takings.
 "The next thing that agitated Pine
 Bluff was the passage up the river of to the gory field.
 A Military Camp.
 "From this time onward it might
 be said Pine Bluff was military camp, and the minds of all it's citizens were turned from commerce to war, and all the boys were anxious to do battle for what they thought was right. Bull Run and other battles made the people hopeful and those not in the battle felt downhearted at the prospect of not having a hand in the bloody game. But their time was near at hand. General Van Dorn call ed for 10000 more men. D. w. Car roll, w. F. Owen, George Anthony At kins and B. F. Hancock headed the list to make up company under this call, and in few days 100 of the best men in the town and county were handed together under D. w. Carroll as cap- tain, w. F. Owens, George A. Atkins and R. F. Hancock as lieutenants, and another company was organized under Captain. Read Fletcher.
 "When these boys took up the line of march to Little Rock the last sol dier of each family had been given to the sacrifice was cheerfully made and the light of many home went out soon after on some gory field. But before we started on our of blood we had round or two of pleasure, we danced and we made merry.
 At DeVall's Bluff we organized the Arkansas Regiment, with D. w. Carroll as colonel,-Dailey as lieutenant colonel; Bob Crockett as major, and Jack Cheatham, as adju- tant; Dr. Peyton, as surgeon; and Dr. Phillips, as assistant surgeon. When our captain, D. w. Carroll was made colonel, w. F. Owen became captain. From the time we left DeValls Bluff for Memphis until the bloody battle of Corinth, October and 4, 1862, our command had it's share of ups and downs.
 "When returned to Pine Bluff in 1866, it was with a sad heart that the scars that war had left on the little city I had seen in such rich beauty, as we marched away from it just four years before. A scourging blast had withered it's pros perity, and everywhere was visible the marks of the pitiless demon. looked at the courthouse and at the Metho- dist church, and at thegraveyard be- hind it, and at the Rone residence, and at the James abode, and at other places and no matter where my gaze rested there could be seen cruel evi- dences of how remorelessly the can non's deaduy messengers had pursued their destroying course. No matter where I wandered mark of the terri ble blight could be seen in all their hideousness. Nothing seemed natural.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-07-25

Pine Bluffians will always be in the front rank of greatness, whether Tn commerce, law, literature, manufac- lures, education or statesmanshlp In the past the little city had an illus trious son in the senate of the Uni ted States, Colonel Bob Johnson; an other in the military school, Ed Mur- ray, who attained the rank of general, and then fell into hero's grave; and another in the national naval acad- emy, Will Carroll, who rose to fame in the Confederate cause and who still lives to weep over the graves of ms dead comrades"
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-07-25

The glory of 1861 had vanished. A funeral pail hung over the once happy city and it's inhabitants were bent un- der great sorrow. It seemed impos- sible that five short years could have wrought such a wonderful and ter rible change. But it was only too true.
 q turned from the contemplation of this sade picture and came face to face with my old friend Captain W. H. D.. Wilson. He understood my feeling and cheeringly remarked, "Never mind old comrade, time will cure all these terrible wounds and this city will soon don new and more regal robes;" and he lived to see his prediction ver- flied.
 "Then he told me of the gallant boys who had returned home whep wars horrid revelry was ended. Of how Ed Murray had won his spurs as a general and then fell into heros grave; how his brother Bob's young life had been blown out at Corinth, and how Captain George Anthony At kins fell there, too; and with him Colonel Daley. And how young Tut Rogers, son of Hon. A. A. c. Rogers, had given up his young life for the cause. And how poor David Dodd died on the scaffold, in Little Rock sooner than betray his friends into the hands of General Steele, how Ben Scull had risen to be Captain and returend home with only one leg; and how Fred Scull had been wounded and made prisoner at Corinth, and how John Bell had won his captains

spurs; and how Pink Atkins and Cris Scull and Jim Hellums had won hon. ors as lieutenants; and Bill" Ste phens and John w. Murphy, too, and how Col. D. w. Carroll, Col. Bob Crockett, Captain Owen, Captain Fletcher and nearly all the rest of my warrior friends had been spared to their families. But all this great happiness to others did not lift the cloud of sorrow and mourning from the hearts of those families whose idols had fallen before wars deadly wrath. The Roane, the Yell, the Mur- ray, the Atkins, the Rogers and other homes were filled with gloom.
 "The steamboat landing at that day and the commission houses, and the stores, and residences that clustered near it, have disappeared; and the Main street that led from that sec ton no longer exists. Few landmarks are left of the old business district, and very tuw of the old. inhabitants live to the tale of the days gone by. The men of "A years ago have grown old or passed into the grave; and the boys are now men. It is true Judge Bocage and Colonel Grace, and a few others of the men of that time still remain to tell the boys of the glory of the past; but, like the re- mains of the old town, they are illus trious figures that will soon pass away, leaving to the present and ris- ing generation the holy mission of emulating the honorable deeds of their venerated sires and grandsires.
 "And this they will not fail to do.

Mrs. Nausler, Heroine of Bank

Against Husband.

Mrs. Margaret Nausler. the wom-
an who was bound and gagged by

to the Citizens State bank of Raj

divorce from her husband, Basil, by
District Judge Sears yesterday.

Nausler whereby Mrs. Nausler was

latter for maintenance of the f.
year-old daughter. The custody Of
the little girl was given to Mrs
Nauslef.
Mrs. Nausler trembled visibly in

nervous wreck because of worry
over her experience with the bank
robbers.
She said her husband called her
vile names, constantly quarreled
with her, struck her and often said
he didn't care for her any more"
For a year, she said he has Sin.

The Nauslers operated restau-
