of average intelligence should still be worried by prophecies of evil, emulating from anonymous sources. Not many years ago the negroes of Little Rock and Pine Bluff especial ", as well as some fthe more ignorant and credulous whites, were frightened to the extent that they left the cities in droves when it was announced by a crazy street fakir that the two cities would sink into the earth on certain day and that steam boats would run on Main street Some actually believed it.. The papers were full of the story in advance, of course, all in jocular vein, and yet many thought the catastrophe would occur just as had been predicted. On the day when the great horror was to be consum- ated. thousands of negroes fIocked from the city to fancied security in the rural districts, but it never hap pened and they soon returned and resumed their more or less orderly existence.
 The recent experience through which Little Rock passed was not quite so bad. Some crazy core spondent wrote the Mayor that on October l the city was to be blown up. He sai dthis was to be a divine retribution against the profiteers. The Hateful day came, guards were placed about many places of busi- ness and public building. Of course those responsible for those safe guards didn't believe that anything would happen, but they wanted to be prepared for anything that might occur The story was told in some of the schools and the children frightened by the prospect of im- pending calamity, but the day pass ed without event of any kind, as most days do, and the watchful po- lice failed to discover even a sus- picius character in the city who looked as though he was disposed to blow up the town.
 Possibly some basis for the story may have been found in a pamphlet which was sold in the city by a little old man who looked like he had stepped out of the patriarch's class in the Bible. The pamphlet was an exposition of Revelations and declared that, the end that Christ said would come is near at hand (not the end of the world) but the end of this generation for its own worship of False Gods.' He also said: "Al these, figures showing angels coming down from Heaven and describin gscenes being en- acted in Heaven have been accom- plished on earth among men and by men, and the aboys eangel is our, next president, who will cast all these anarchistic, bolshevistic, law breaking, profiteering, secret organ ized conspiracies into the bottomless pit and put stop to the wasting of millions upon millions of dol lars going to night meetings to engage in tomfoolery and conspira- cies against someone else and against honest competition of business"

 We are justly proud of our com munity and we believe that we re- fleet credit upon the whole of Lee county, in fact Eastern Arkansas, in the work we have done and are advancing as a rural community.
 Our farmers are responding loy- ally to the organization of the American Cotton Association and we are determined that our local organization shall be leading fac tor in the Lee count unit of this association.
 Next Thursday evening we are to meet at the school building for the purpose of electing new officers for our school improvement asso- citation to serve the ensuing year. Mrs. J. D. Zirkle is president at present. This association has in NiCW iCldIlNC W our school grounds and we feel confident of very successful year. It is also the expectation of this club to be represented at the meet ing of the Women's Clubs to be held at Marianna on Saturday, Oc- tobre 9th.
 We had a very large attendance at Sunday school last Sunday, but we are not satisfied. Next Sunday we want every one in this com munity and those who can in other communities to be present at three o'clock. Every one is cordially in vited to come and take part in this good work. forgot--next Sunday at three o'clock Bro. w. K.

LITTLE ROCK LETTER

Little Rock, Oct. At is well .bat we should pause in the midst af sl' our busy lives and in our mad art;san career to consider some pa onr great historic characters that Save enlightened the past.
 n' Io the history of Arkansas no
 a man stands out more prominent M T., or with more numerous or bril- i1;art facets of many sided char ilan ator than does Albert Pike, states snsn a soldier, poet, lawyer and Ma nonic leader. He was one of the son son international characters pro- duced by Arkansas.
 If is befitting therefore that the storv of his life should be present od in popular way so that it may onneal to the emulation of the youth of our land and be made an incen- t;yo to the ambition of others. Much has been written of Albert Pike, hut if remained for an Arkansas nublisher to present his work and b;s life in a permanent form. Fred W. Allsopp, business manager of the Arkansas Gazette, brought out pike's poems in one large volume. which was soon exhausted, to be followed by a revised edition in two volumes. which has also had wide sale. There is now in press new volume about this great man, "The Life Story of Albert Pike" written bv Mir. Allsopp. The book has been written from great mass of ori- oinal material, much of which has never been in print. This book will he ready for distribution in the near future and Mr. Allsopp is al ready receiving many inquiries for it from prominent Masons and schol- ars throughout the country, indicat- ing that it will have a very large sale. It is said that there will not be a Masonic Library in the coun- try that will be without one or more copies of the book. 1t is a mon ument of love erected by an Ar kansas writer to the smemory of one who has left permanent im- press upon the history not only of Arkansas, but of the UNon.
 In his introduction toa athe book, MT. Allsopp says: "
 "0ne of the giants of the early days in the Southwest was General Albert Pike, who resided in Arkan- sas from 1882, intermittenly up to the clsoe of the Civil War.
 He left lasting impress on the ~times, -bee~.see he was -fsass+-.svho played a distinguished part in the world, or, rather, for the reason that he distinguished himself by act ing many parts well. As one writer observes, he touched all the ele- ments of romance and adventure that existed in the Southwest, from the wild Indian tribes, into one of which he had been adopted, and of which he is said to have been a chief, to the composition of verses which had found recognition and appreciation so far away and from such high authority authority as Blackwood's (Edinburg) Magazine
 Indeed, his adventurous life reads life wild romance, and the events in which he participated furn- ish an interesting contrast between the men and movements of those pioneer times and those of today, under the more favorable condl- tions which exist.
 Whether or not is due in any degree to the halo that tradition gradually brings to the memory of great men, it would seem that those

who dominated the Southwestern country fifty to sixty years ago, were bigger and brainier that the average man of today. In any event it was not the faint-hearted who conquered the wilds, but strong men like Albert Pike.
 Two characters that will ever live in Arkansas song and story are Sandy Faulkner's Arkansas Tray eler, and Albert Pike. The imag- mary character has often brought derision to the state; the real life of the other has added to it's lustre." !"
 The high cost of living is on the | toboggan. It is gratifying to note that hereafter it will not cost so much for mere existence. A thinly | clad woman was seen on Main street one day this week, during the cold snap, who appeared to be very much elated when she noticed in a shop window prominently displayed an elegant cut glass service reduced from $108 to $92-S16 saved at one fell swoop.
 l Unless some new method is dis 1 covered of getting coal from the ground, there will be lot of cold families in Arkansas this winter. This is especially true of those who possess the big comfortable base burner, as hard coal is next to impossible to get. Little Rock distributors declare they have had orders placed with mines in the hard coal districts since early spring, and are still unable to secure deliveries. They give as the reason that the miners are good vacationists, taking day off for every day they work. This has made the supply very limit ed and the coal mines are heavily oversold and are sunable to meet the demand. @3
 There seems to be condition of complaisance on the part of Arkan- sas Democracy that is truly refresh ing. Several months ago an s. O. s. call was sent out from Republi- can headquarters, that several mil the success of the G. o. P. in the coming election. The faithful re- sponded promptly and without any fuss or feathers the Arkansas quota of S30,000 was quickly raised.
 Then came the call for the Demo- cratic campaign fund and acres of valuable newspaper space, thousands of individual letters and eloquent appeals by party leaders have re- suited in three weeks in securing less than $10,000. This of course represents much larger propor- tion of givers that does three times the amount subscribed for the Re- publican campaign. It is more truly Democratic, consisting as it does of contributions of from soc to $500 and $10.00 on the average. Yet the time is short, the need is great and the disposition should be much more generous if an amount is to be raised in the state of which our Democracy should not be ashamed.
 Once more another hologaust has been averted; another calamity nipped in the bud; another catas- trophe has failed to materialize. It is probably due to the fact that the proposed cataclysm was published in advance. Had there been no publicity and the commic wreck wreck been permitted to creep up- on us unawares, it is probable that Arkansas, especially Little Rock, would today be mess of debris and shambles of wrecked buildings and regulations.
