Superintendent Ben Collins Says Con
structioc Will Begin Next Week
on the Texarkana, Shreve-
port and Matches Railroad.

The TExARKANIAN reporter, who
is an early riser, and who arrives
down town each morning before
many of the stores are opened, finds
many of our largest moneyed men
out going to their Offices and busi-
ness, Superintendent Ben Collins,
who not only watches after the Tex
arkana & Shreveport railroad, but
overlooks the workings of the Gate
City mill at this place, is one of the
early birds" we meet in the early
dawn.
Yesterday we met Mr.. Collins as
we stepped from the first car that
lands passengers on Broad street,
and asked him how he was getting
along with the contemplated exten.
sion of the Gate City into Shreve-
port. He said;
"Why, we are just getting along
splendidly. Our enginee RS are il
the field locating the road, and
they will finish up tonight between
the present terminus at Doddridge
and Shreveport, and we will put
our working force on next week, to
clearing and grading for the steel.
You can bet we are going into
Shreveport, and that with a rush.
We shall then work on toward Match
es, Mississippi"
When this road is completed we
shall have connection with Shreve-
port by four different lines-the
Texas & Pacific by Marshall, Texas;
the Cotton Belt, by New Lewisville,
Ark 1.-THE K. G. P. & G. road, direct,
and the present road (Texarkana &
Shreveport direct. This will make
travel and freight cheap between
these two young and growing cities,
Shreveport can get water rates
and will be hard competitor for
our city to buck against in whole
sale prices, and we must look around
us and see how we can hedge on
those "pelicans" who will be after
our trade.
Let us look to Sulphur river
again. and put couple of boats in
in this river, and we can hold hand
with our willy neighbors.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. l2.-The Cot

being still unsettled, the road has
renewed its withdrawal. This prob.

is competent to control, he is not a
partial man by no ean towards his
pupils, but treats old and young, all
just the same way; he has the good
will of all the patrons Of his school as
well as the love and esteem of his
scholars. He taught his school all the
way through without any trouble with
his students; he was well liked by the
gentlemen and all his family with
whom he boarded, and We feel proud
to say that Mr.. Martin only has to say
that he wants Il school another year

THE DOCTORS AND ALCOHOL.

DIR. j. M. harrington, in a recent ad-
dress on the subject of mon Alcohol
les in Medicine, 'says: 1.-THE number of
physicians who today have the courage
OF their convictions to oppose the use
of alcohol in medicine, is steadily in
creasing. A large medical temperance
society has existed for many years in
Great Britain, and one has recently
been organized in this country, of
which, DR.. N. S.. Davis, of Chicago, is
President. The membership of these
societies is confined to physicians who
are personally total abstainers, and,
consequently have a diminished regard
for the alleged virtues of alcohol.
The claims made for alcohol as a
s%ustainer of life, as a food, as a true
stimulant, as an agent to permanently
elevate temperature in depression, have
all been proven to be groundless. Phys
icians who discard its use in the treat.
ment of disease are sustained by some
of the ablest medical men of the time,
and are able to give a reason for the
course they have taken in breaking
aloof from the old travelled way of
giving stimulants for every ailment
of The human system.
