 Friday night q negro mans home on Pullen street was robbed of some clothing. Constable Stewards famous blood hounds were summon ed aud soon arrived,
 It being wet weather the dogs could discover no tracks. Police man Ed. Jefferson was with Con stable Stewart, but giving up the search he started home. Mir. Stew art was determined and kept his never fails" at work. Suddenly the animals scented a track and each eager for the prize, bounded for ward barking and bowling like wolves in their den. They had lief ferson's tracks. They overlook him, too. and after jumping several fences ana making m old fashioned police mans run gained a place of temp orary safety. Constable Stewart understood the situation and finally pulled the dogs back. Jefferson cer- tainlY had narrow escape,

ENGLISH, CooPER's ISLAND, GRADY AND sEV-
 ERAL OTHER PLACES
MANY LEFT HOMELESS.
Several Houses Overturned and Un- roOfed and Much Damage Done
 to Property.

From several visitors here Satur- day afternoon we learned of a ter rible cyclone that visited several towns in this and adjoining counties Friday evening about 7:30 o'clock. About the above hour Cooper's Island, below English on the Arkan- sas river, was storm swept and every gin house, dwelling, and all the fencing on Mir. Nell Dunn's plan tation, including his residence, was blown down. The cabins of lrge number of negroes on this Island were also demolished and their oc- cupants left homeless.
 The storm also visited English, and the gin house of MT. Ed. Will Hams was blown away and much other damage done.
 From INT. Jules Hellums, who came up from Grady late Saturday afternoon, we learn that that place was also visited by the cyclone. A negro church one mile north of Grady was carried away. On H. L. Halls place one hundred pannels of fence were blown down and num- Der of cotton pens destroyed, On Mir. john J. Halls place the fences were blown away and other dam age done.
 The storm also swept Sarassa and vicinity. A dwelling on MT. s. A. W oods' place was carried some dis tance by the storm and then drop ped, smashing it into kindling wood. Other houses and fences were also damaged or destroyed in this neigh borhoOd.
 The cyclone was about one hun dred yards in width and was pre- eeeded by black and heavy clouds and tremendous down pour of rain. The terrific wind, which last ed about five minutes, is said to have done damage to the xtent of 1925, ,000 in the communities visited.

TO BE AN EARLY ENTER PRISE IN THE CITY OF
 PINE BLUFF.
NEW ORLEANS PARTIES
Purchase Ground for the Erection of a Plant to Cost About
 $100,000.

A new compress is an early enter prise for Pine Bluff.
 Two blocks of real estate in the western part of the city have been purchased as the site for plant to cost about S10O 00O. The deal was made through Mir. E. D. Russell. Of this city, who when seen by a re- porter Saturday said:
 "As the representative of Mir. Will liam W. Bierce, of New Orleans, have bought through Mir. T. Pearce, real estate agent, of Thomas s. and Garland D. James, blocks M. and F. in James and Simpsons addition to the city of Pine Bluff. Mir. Bierce is the patentee of the Bierce hydraulic compress and his object in purchas- ing the property Is to erect thereon modern pre- ss with ample warehouse and storage capacity. The cotton buyers, factors and producers in the city and county will be given an op- portunity to interest themselves in the enterprise, should they desire t0 do sc. There is ample room in this field for another compress and by the extraordinary facilities afforded by the Bierce plant Pine Bluff will become a cotton market second to hone in Arkansas. It means an in- vestment of $75, ,000 or $l00,000 of out side capital; large increase in our annual cotton receipts; better trade for our wholesale merchants in all lines of business, and tine general welfare and up-buildinh of our city, 1 am already engaged in the work of forming the company, and Mir. Bieree or his representative will be here in q few days anG the organization of the company and construction of the plant will be pushed to q speedy completion.
 There is little that remains to be said in addition to the above. which k fully explanatory. Mir. Bierce was recently in the city and became fully impressed with Pine Bluff as cot ton market. A new compress means more cotton for Pine Bluff and com petition in eompresslng the same, and the enterprise will be gladly welcomed by cotton planters and cotton buyers alike.

4 STEAMBOAT.
To be Operated in the Interest of
 Pine Bluff.

A movement is on foot to organ ize stock company for the pur- chase and control of steamboat to be operated in the interest If Pine Bluffs trade. 1t is proposed to run the boaf from forty miles above Pine Bluff to the mouth of the Ar kansas river, where connections will be made with boats for other points. It is estimated that it will require from $15, GOO to $25, ,O00 to purchase and operate boat, and, we are informed, considerable of this amount has already been sub scrlbed
 This is move in the right direc- tion. For some time Pine Bluff has been losing trade from down the river points, and this trade can possibly not be recovered without a packet operated exclusively in the interest of Pine Bluff trade. Ger tain it IS that boat would be of wonderful advantage to this town, especially in the matter of keeping down and preventing discrimina- tons in freight rates.
 We hope to see the enterprise succeed and our business men should lend it every possible encourage ment.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, JAN. IS, 1899
,.,he Fee system

 The Graphic has frequently of late pointed to the general movement to abolish the iniquitous fee system in the wealthier counties of the State. Already the fee system has been abolished in Washington and Sebas- tian counties and their county off cers placed on a salaried list. All fees received in these counties are reported to the County Court, and all sums received above the salaries allowed by law are covered into the county treasury. h this manner the county offices have become prof itabe to the tax payers of the coun- ty as we'll as to the officers.
 So well has the plan worked in Washington aud Sebastian that other counties are about to inaugu- rate the same system. Recently there has been some agitation in Garland and Pulaski counties for tue abolition of the fee system. h Pulaski county the agitation has culminated in the introduction of a bin by Senator Shaekleford in the Senate for placing that county on the salaried list. The bill provides salaries as follows.
 County and probate clerk, $2, 900 Der annum. Three deputies, $1, 200 each per annum.
 Circuit clerk and recorder, SZ, 0OO. Four deputies, $1, 200.
 Chancery clerk, $2,oOo. One dep uty, $1, 200.
 Sheriff and tax collector, S3, 800 Five deputies, $l, 200
 Treasurer, $2, GOO.
 The act is to take effect January l, 1900.
 The salaries allowed under the above bill are greater than the sala- ries authorized by either of the acts placing Washington or Sebastian county on the salaried list, but since Pulaski is the wealthiest county in the State the proportion is main tained. The salaries allowed in Se- bastian county are as follows:
 The fees and salaries of the clerks of the circuit and county courts are $3, 800 per annum each, out of which sums all necessary deputies and assistants must be paid.
 The fees and salary of the Sheriff of Sebastian county are S3,500 per annum, and the additional salary of $1. 200 per anaum as collector, mak- lng a total Of $4, TOO per annum, out of which sums the said Sheriff and collector must pay all deputies and assistants as may be required to discharge the duties of said offices. :"
 With Washington, Sebastian and Pulaski counties on a salaried sys- tenn and Jefferson county on the fee system, there will be quite differ ence in the future between holding office in any of the three former counties and the latter,
 In the former an office would be worth from g, 300 to S3,0OO year, while in the latter the same offices would bring their occupants in from s, 800 to sl0,00 year.
 But thereis a well-defined senti- ment in this county for the aboli- ton of the fee system, and our Sen ator and Representatives will be remiss to their duties and oblivious to the wishes and sentiments of d majority of their constituency if they don't put Jeferscn county on the salaried list along with the oth- CT big counties of the State.
