PINE BLUFF 4 MANU-
 FACTURING CENTER.

There is no reason in the world why Pine Bluff should not be a manufacturing center. Especially should we manufacture our own cot ton into thread and cloth and thus quadrupIe our profits. Looking over a copy of the "Glnner and Mil Ter" published at Dallas, Tex for February, we Lotlced lists of cotton mills now being built in the South.
 South Carolina, already second to but one state in the union, Massa chusetts, has reported that she will consume the entire crop of 1899 in her own factories this year. New factories in that state are be- ing built at Sumpter. Liberty, Blaeksburg, Seneca, LeesyiIle, La grange and Simpsonyille- ', and doubling the capacity of two others, 6reenville and Greenwood. equal to nine.
 North Carolina is also building new cotton factories at Clayton. Lexington, Jamestown and Lowell, likewise doubling the capacity of one at Trenton.
 Georgia is building one at La Grange.
 Alabama is building at Opeiika, Ozark, Florence, and doubling the capacity of one at Taaadega. Texas reports two underway, Fort Worth and Hargroves. Louisiana one at Alexandria. Twenty iu all are re ported in this one paper.
 Is Arkansas to be behind in this as ia almost every other enteeprise2 With ability equal to any of these states mentioned, why should we not arouse from our sium5ers and siege the opportunity and % to work at once?

 4 Narrow Esca pc.

MT. Neumann, in his narrative oI Elephant Hunting in East Africa, thus tells of a narrow escape rom death: T as on the point of sitting down in s..v grass, when something that looked like toad caught my eye beside my boot. Thinking l had in- adYertently trodden on harmless rep~ tile, I was about to move my foot In compassion, when I noticed a black, forked tongue darting yiciously close to my right foot; and looking more carefully, I saw that what had taken for a toad was the villianous, triangu, lar head of puff adder, on whose neck I had set my foot. It's body was swollen as big as my thigh. By a proYidential chance I held it so fast in this way that it could not move it's head to strike. Having my rifle with me, I put the muzzle to its head and sent a bullet through it's brain It measured four feet eight inches in length.
