that it is not such an easy matter to get foreign capital to invest here.
 Build an electric street railway and light plant. The people of Pine Bluff want an electric railway, and it remains with the property owners now to say whether or not we are going 10 have it. It should be en- eouraged by everyone and everybody should take an active part it. seeur- ing it for our progressive city. It will be the future foundation to sue- cess and will develope Pine Bluff in all it's branches of industry.
 If this enterprise proves a poor investment for Pine Bluff, it will be impossible to induce foreign capital to invest here in an enter prise of any kind
 The city Dads" wlll take the matter up properly at the next meeting and our citizens, especially the property owners, should co operate with them ia their endeavar to land the much-needed enterprise.

ROUGHLY HANDLED SAM WILSON GETS A WARM RECEPTION AT
 STEPHENS
IN PINE BLUFF
The Negroes Didn't Like His Ways and They Almost Killed
 Him.

As was announced exclusively in Thursdays Graphic, Sam Wilson, negro barber, was arrested in this city last Wednesday night upon 3 charge of kidnapping.
 When arrested he was at a local negro boarding house, living with the girl he had kidnapped. Her name is Cora Brewster and she is about l7 years of age. When they were arrested the girl began to cry and said Wilson promised to marry her if she would accompany him to Pine Bluff.
 A constable from Stephens arriv- ed in Pine Bluff Friday morning and escorted the couples esback to Steph- ems on the next train. Cora was turned over to her paleAts but Wil- son was Eplaced on trial 2 for seduction. He was bound over to await the action of the grand jury. During the progress of the trial deep mutterings of vengeance were heard among the colored people and talk of lynching was indulged in.
 Wilson was placed in the cala- boose preparatory to being taken to the jail. About 9:30 o'clock Friday night large crowd of negroes ad- vanced on the calaboose and with the aid of craW-bar the door was torn down, sack thrown over Wil- son's head and rope placed around his neck. He was ierked down and several of the would-be lynchers stood on his body while the others of the party pulled until they thought his neck was broken. At that instant three white men ap- peared on the scene ana with res yolvers dispersed the crowd. The timely arrival of physician tenn po~ rarily saved his life.
 Wilson was taken to Camden,. where he was locked up for safe keeping. Late reports from Cam den state that Wilson's recovery is, very doubtful, as he is more dead than alive.

 The audience burst into wild cheer, whereupon the ushers called for silence. But when Mercisr re piled he would admit Dreyfus was innocent if there was any dout, the prisoner shouted again, Why don't you theu2' AL thls there was another outburst oi applause.
 M. Cdssimir Perier then rose and dramatically demandtd to be con fronted wlrh Gen Mercier in order to deny some of his statements.

THE WAY THE CITY PRoPOS. ES TO BUILD TIA GOOD
 MOVE.
SUCCESS IN OTHER CITIES
Owners are the People Who Can Assure the Much Needed
 Enterprise.

At the last meeting ot the city council a petition from eleven prom ineut citizens and property owners was presented s'for the purpose of erecting, building and constructing an electric lighting plant and electric street railway, and tue building of city hall. . The peti- tfon asked that an improvement district embracing all of Pine Bluff within it's corporate limits, be created. It also asked that an i'm provement attorney be ordered to take necessary measures to form such district.
 Municipal ownership is something nev for Pine Bluff but our citizens, in general, seem to take fayorably to the idea.
 The present proposition, which is now before our citizens, seems to be the only possible way our city will ever get an electric railway plant. In order to build this proposed en- terprise, as stated above, it will be necessary to form an improvement district embracing the whole city { and get a majority of the real estate owners to sign petition endorsing the movement. After a majority of signers are secured, 1t will be the duty of the city council to elect three commissioners who will have full control to construct and main tain the railway and light plant. These commissioners will serve until the plant is pa1d out, that will avoid politics interfering with it in any way, as the three commissioners will have the full power to discharge or employ as they may see it,
 Similar plants in other cities pay a yearly dividend from 15 to 40 per cent and tbere is DO reason what ever, why this city should not do as well or even better in operating her own plant. She can do as we'll and better than an individual who lived in New York or some other northern point, and who usually employs a manager to da all the work while be 7 takes in the cash.
 Little Rock possesses several paying enterprises due to this plan of work. All of her parks and the free bridge are the result of this kind of work and they seem to be very paying and beneficial to that city. Now, Little Rock is figuring on purehas ing the local water works plant, which if they are successful, will be paid for by forming an improve ment district. Pine Emf is not the first city to start this method of en- terprise. 1t is being adopted all over the country, and especially where cities arc not in position to issue bonds.
