TO BUILD UP PINE BLUFF
SOME EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS OF TERED BY APRoMoTER OF
 FACTORIES.
He Believes That Factories Can be In dueed To Locate Here if Our People WnI Bnt Pull
 Together.

4 few days ago Mr. Henry Rawre, of a firm known as promoters, y paid our city a visit with the idea of inducing our business men to inter- est themsves in a wood working factory. In this plan he faaled and he finally departed from our city. Since then he has written letter to Mir. John O'Connell. of this city, which shows that he still has con- fidence in our town and hopes to aid in inducing capitalists to invest i'll certain lines of factories here. In the letter he gives some ideas that would be well for our business men if they would follow them. The letter is as follows:
 ANDERSON, iND., November 9, 1895. MT. John 'Connen, Pine Bluff. Ark.
 DEAR SIR.-Since returning to Indiana we have not changed our minds concerning the possibilities of Pine Bluff as the manufacturing center of it's territory.
 l will have business in Chicago next week and will lay the advan- tages of your city before some of my friend there who are well supplied with means.
 There are some Indiana capitalists ready to build plant to manufacture school room furniture if they can get satisfactory location in the South.
 herein inclose q plan of organi- zation l spoke to yon about, which it may be worth your time to con slider. The basis of this plan is the value of land, and the basis of land value is wage earning population.
 In a city such as Pine Bluff of 15000 people, the value of land above will be nearly $500 per each in habitant or fonr and half millions of dollars in round numbers.
 One-half of this yalne isconfined to a small area of not more than a quarter of a mile square at the heart of the city and the remaining half spreads out around the center of the city limits.
 It will be admitted, that to double the population of your city from fifteen to thirty thousand. would more than double the value of land.
 The fact. which Little Rock will demonstrate, is as follows: That the pereapita value of land increases as the population. Whereas, city of fifteen thousand has land value of $500 per capita, or four and a half millions, a city of thirty thousand has a per capita value of $400 or twelve millions.
 To double the population of your city will add about seven millions to the value of land under it. The problem yon have to solve is to get

THE NEGRO EXODUS.


Washington. March Ex-senator Nor
gan OF Alabama thinks the present eN-
odus OF negroes from the south to AZ

come when the government OF the
United States will take the matter up
officially and aid In their deportation.

question, lis the natural home Of the
negro, and majority OF them desire
to return to that country. They cannot
well be blamed for entertaining that
wish. for there IL nothing In this or
any other white mans country for the
African race. Sufficient time has elapsed
since the slaves were cmoncipated TO
demonstrate the white mans superior
ity In all walks OF life. and my observa-

WINGED already that II they remain here

Senator Morgan also asserted that
large majority fthe white population
in the south would prefer to have the
negroes go, at is certain" he said,
that many OF the planters. the owners
of large plantations. prefer TO have
them remein, for the reason that they
favor their labor IN comparison with

Tent Is In the minority. and the poorer
whites and the professional classes IN
the south prefer to have the negroes
sent away. The poor man does not
want their competition, and all classes

Defending the Interests of the Settlers

when the Goss-Smith land bill was be-
fore the house.
The pending question being on the
motion Of Thompkins to fix the rate Of
interest on school lands at per cent,
Peyton offered 10 fix the rate at per
cent and Plemmons moved to fix II at
per cent, and speaking TO his motion
he said.

But now you people OF the body Of the

the small stock farmer and settler by
compelling him to pay per cent per
