Those here who have eontended that the bill seeks to tax property not In existence have about abandoned that argument and are now asking Democratic Legis- lature to turn Popaist and defeat the bill because it will work a hard ship on those holding small policies.
 I say let us first exempt those from taxation who are too poor to even carry that kind of a policy, and are forced to insure, if at all, m some fraternal order, because the premiums are less and they have to die to win.
 No law which imposes taxation can be made that will not work hardship en some one. So as see it, the question resolves itself down to this proposition: Is it fair to aI- low those who invest their money in that kind Of property to go untaxed while those who invest in farms or other enterprises are taxed whether he be rick or poor Yours yerg re- seec fully, Greed Caldwell

 He also states that on the night of February 10th, he iu company with Mr. Ghadbourne, would leave for New York City where they wnld rush matters to completion. The promoters say they are doing all in their power to assist P ne Buff iu securing the plant.

 Many Pine Bluff cotton men took the affair as a joke and thought no more of the matter.
 Mir. A. w. Benoit. traveling rep resentatiye for the Delta Cotton company, of Memphis, is in the city today. In speaking of the monkeys being used successfully by Planter w. w. Mangum, of Smedes, Miss, Mir. Beno1t said:
 'SYes, it is fact that monkeys are being used by Mir. Mangum and, successfully, too, and my firm who own and control about twenty plan tations in the Delta of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas, are think ing seriously of booking an order for q thousand of these useful little animals to be imported to us in time for the fall picking. We can buy them for SIP each and it will cost about ten cents per day to feed each, If that vAnture proves a success ard I think |. will for this reason, they can pick more than 8 fast-picking negro and are not handi- capped by inclement weather.

 Dear Sir-I have received q copy of the Pine Bluff Cor mercial of the 8th and fad that Uncle Charley Newman has been taking my name in valn, and were it not for the fact that he misquoted me and misled hls readers when be said that If wanted to talk 10 my constituents to convince them that they knew not what was for their own good, and that l was impressed with the belief that as soon as the people would hear my explanation they could be induced to acknowledge their ignorance touching The inten- tion aud justice of such statute. Whether their was q w:llful misrep- resentation or not I will leave your readers to iu lge
 i said su5stant tiaIly in my letter to the o nmercial thatI had studied the Collins insurance 6iil aud that I believed it was an equitable meas ure, but that I did not wish to op- pose the wishes ot my constituent ts and that l believed they had been misled and that before ] would con sent to surrender a principle that 1 believed to be just, would like to discuss the matter with then. and f they could prove by any sort of reason that the bill was unjust would not support it.
 Now for that asking, (which think is due to any Represen tative, ) the Commercial begins to pour out their yjal of wrath aud does not on. ly misfepresent me but calls me he Battle Axe Representative from Jefferson County"

 l saw copy of the Hot Springs News of today's date, ed tied by Prof Wsdley so well known thoughout the State, and I find Chat he ably defends the purposes of the bill and says, among other things, that he "has been importuned by quite number o. insurance agents to oppose the bill, but he believed It a step in the right direction.
 Now surmise that Brc. Wadley has given the snap away and that the Graph.c's search light might disclose some reason for the throw ilg of bouquets at members who are induced to oIate their own better judgments in regard to this bill and also the rocky road and stumpy rows of those who dare to think for themselves or assert lheir opinion.

Policeman Injured.

For some time past residents of Moores-
town have been greatly annoyed by dis
orderly gatherings of oolored people on
Saturday nights.
Some weeks ago Chief of Policeman
i Wright and his officers started to break
up the practice, and thereby got the
crowd in an ugly mood On Saturday
night several arrests were made, and as
the Chief and Officer Murphy were taking
a prisoner to the lookup the mob charged
on them. Before the Chief could defend
himself he was struck in the head from
the rear with some blunt instrument and
rendered unconscious While Officer Muir
ply pursued his assailant the mob as
saulted the PROSTATE form of the Chief.
The timely arrival of other officers I'M
doubleday saved his life The injured of
ficer was taken home, where it was found
that, in addition to other injuries, one of
his legs was broken in two places
Officer Murphy fired three shots at the
man who first struck the Chief, but he
made his escape He was, however, cap
tured at Hartford on Sunday night, and
identified by Officer Murphy. He gave
his name as Josiah Mingen, and had a
bullet hole through his coat, which he ad-
mitted was made by the officers Justice
Petit committed him to Jail to await the
result of the Chiefs injuries. These per

The special town meeting to discuss the
proposition to appropriate more money to
finish paving Grant street was held on
Wednesday ia America Hall Micaiah
+. Matlack was made moderator. Edward
5. Troth, who has been acting as township
clerk during the absence of clerk Stewart.
was secretary of the meeting.
L. Lacey Atkins, who has had charge of
the work as far as it has proceeded, gave
some figures. Thus far the amount for
which the committee is responsible is
$1,O15.O2 This is made up as follows:
Stone and cost of laying, $685. 81; cutters,
$14O.OS; gutter stone and laying, $1125O
This does not include the cost of gravel to
lay the cutters with. At the annual town
meeting 500 was appropriated for the
work. The committee thought it would
take 81, 300 to finish the street
There was considerable discussion over
the cost of the road, but when the vote
was taken on the motion to appropriate
81, 800 there were none in the negative

pensive. There has been considerable
draining necessary and there has been the
additional expense of cutters and curbing,
but the cost of the road itself has been at
the rate of $4,000 mile. To be sure the
road is nearly 20 feet wide, but if the
width were cut down to that of the roads
being laid by the county the price would
still be too high.
Since the meeting there has been some
talk on the subject, and the remark has
been made that no contractor would have
brought his tools here and built SO small
piece of road any cheaper than it is being
laid under the supervision of the commit
tee. This statement is mere conjecture,
however, as no contractor was invited to
bid on the job.
There is no charge that the committee
is squandering the money, for they are do
ing as well as anyone else could do with
the same equipments. One very large
item of expense is the rolling which is
done with horse roller This is a very
slow and expensive method A steam
roller should be used. An amusing Incl
dent was noticed in connection with We'd
