7630 NAM ES
WILL BE FOUND IN PINE BLUFFS
 NEW CITY DIRECTORY,
This Would Indicate Population of Over 2O,O00-Will Be Out in
 March

The Adams Printing Co.'S Twen- tieth Century Illustrated City Direc- tory is in process of printing, and will be out early in March.
 Some idea Of the size and magni-. trde of the volume may be gained when We state that the directory will contain 7,GSo names In census talk ing for a city directory the names of married women and children under the age of f6 yeals are not taken. The reason for this is obvious. Mar ricd women are presumed to reside at the homes of their husbands, and children to live with their parents The usual estimate on q directory is, therefore, a population of three per sons to the name. Applying this es- tory would indicate population of 23,040 souls.
 The population accorded Pine Bluff by the Government census takers last summer is ,496. There is a con- siderable discrepancy therefore be tween the census takers of the Fed eral Government and the enumera- tors for the Adams Printing Co.'S City Directory. It is but justice to say for the Government census talk CTS, however, that they confined their canvass strictly to the corporate Iim- it's, while the enumc rators for tho Adams Printing Co did not eonfine themselves strictly to the corporate limits, but took in suburban residents as well.
 But making even a very liberal al lowance for this difference the dis crepaney is too great to admit that the government census takers took a full and correct census of the city. Allowing 3,04O for suburban residents not within the corporate limits would still leave 8 population of over 10000 residing within the corporate limits, which is nearly twice the pop ulation reported for Pine Bluff to the Government Census Department at Washington.
 The Directory is being printed at the rate of about 20 pages day. The composition is being done on our Mcr- genthaler Linotype machine, which is now doing 1G hours work each day. composing the Graphic during the day and the Directory at night. AL ready some 250 pages of the Direc- tory have been printed and it is es- timated that the book will make 350 pages. There is therefore plenty of room for such of our merchants as have not yet contracted for advertiS- ing space to be represented in this useful volume, which will be the most substantially bound and the largest and best city directory ever , issued in Pine Bluff

WertheInaer's Beer Depot Caught Fire
 An Army of Rats.
 The fire departments were called to Wertheimers beer depot, corner Third avenue and State street Tues day afternoon. Some hay ina stable ad- joining the depot, caught fire and for time it looked as if the little build ing would be destroyed The fire boys used one hose inside the stable and soon had the fire extinguished. The damage was slight. The most amusing part of the affair was the fun enjoyed by about hundred boys, who congregated there to see the fire They amused themselves by chasing and killing a number of rats which were driven from the burning building by the fire and water. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Ill uioA lHe Clly lue lew IlSuIS we dre furnishing it on a monthly contract at as low rates as if he were furnish ing more lights and on a long con- tract Our bid was made at a sum that we can and will be glad to fur nish the lighting for so long a term as fifteen years. We have a large in vestment in Pine Bluff and pay heavy taxes and consider it our duty to ourselves to see that the city gets it's lights as cheap as it can, and we cannot afford to sit idly by and see one company, or set of persons, bind the city on contract for the long term of fifteen years at higher rate than for which we or others are will ing to do the same work. The con- pany, to which I understand the con- tract has been awarded, made a con- dition that it was to receive as much as five hundred dollars per month from the city and we made no such conditions in our bid I have been told that this condition was stricken out after the bid had been made known. We are of the opinion that at the prices we have offered to do the lighting three hundred dollars per month would light the city well, taken in connection with the lights that the Railway Companies pay for, If our opinion in this is correct and the city does not contract for more than this amount, our bid has already saved the city a large amount of money. And if We are correct as to the amount of lighting required at our prices and the city authorities see proper to give the new company a contract for five hundred dollars per month. it would cause the city to be out twenty-four hundred dollars per year, or thirty-six thousand dollars during the fifteen years, more than necessary.
 As we understand it, we have done nothing more than right and believe that it will be demonstrated by the decisions of the court; and that in time We will be thanked for saving the city from paying out unnecessa- rily a large amount of money. We cannot see that we have done any thing to call forth abuse and misrep- resentation. I notice that it was pub- lished in two different papers that our company is now furnishing arc lamps of twelve hundred candle pow CT and incandescent lights of sixteen candle power for lighting the streets of the city This is an erroneous statement Our are lights are two thousand candle power and our in- candescent lights used on the streets are of twenty-five candle power If the papers published that statement of their own accord they did us a wrong and injustice. If they are misled by statements of others, they should be more careful as to whom they trust for information.

Col. 1she Committed Suicide.

Col. John r. Ashe a prominent
business man of Yorkville, COM
mitted suicide at his home in
Yorkville yesterday morning at
about l o'clock by jumping head
foremost, into a well. After sew
eral attempts we failed to obtain
the particulars Of the sad event.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the rash act was caused by
financial troubles One report is
that his cotton mill is in bad
shape, and another that he has lost
disastrously in cotton speculation,
and that the consequent worry OF
these things probably produced
mental alteration. Besides his
cotton mill interests in Yorkville
he had a large mercantile bus
iness in Kershaw and was doing
a fine business. He leaves a wife
and several children.

Hidden Treasures.

A gentleman of Flat Creek was
in the ENTERPRISE office Monday
and showed us the description of
a place where there is supposed
to be buried some money to the
amount of about 100000, with a
lot of jewelry. The descri ption was
given by a Union soldier who
was supposed to have been con-
nected in some way with the
hiding of the money, and is as
follows:
"Near Col. Shotwelps or Bard
