ADVERSE Legislation Driving Capitai Away From Arkansas to
 Other States. PINE BLUFF IS AN ADMIRABLE LOCATION FOR A COTTON
 MILL.
But Capital Will Be Slow in Com. ing So Long as Legislation is
 Antagonstc.
VIEWS OF BOSTON GENTLEMAN

Mr Wm W. Castle, of Boston, Mass, who was in the city this week, has been in the employ of the government for the past tWenty-three years as g machinery expert. He is gentleman of intelligence, and an entertaining. talller His work has required great deal of his time in the South, and ne has made the cotton industry a study
 He expressed great surprise at the fact That there is no cotton manufae. turing plant i'll Pine Bluff, saying that he knew one would pay here, but said that much of the legislation of Arkan. sas was antagonistc to the investment of capital in the state hence outside money was slow to come here, and but for that he thought there would be ne, trouble i'll interesting all the capital needed here in the East to build one of the biggest cotton mills in tbe South. He said that from what he has read in the papers, and from all he conld learn otherwise, the legislature of this state has frightened capital into other states, which are reaping the benefits from it at present, while Arkansas Is being set back in the mar ufacturing line.
 Why" remarked Mr. Castle, the state of North Carolina cannot dG enough for capitalists when they hear that they are preparing to invest there. and you see where North Carolina IS today in the way of possessing cot ton mills. There are over three hun- dred cotton mills at and around Char, lotte.'

| Searcy county, about St. Joe. A Mr. Brubaker, an oil man who is thorough ly conversant with the fields of Penn sylvania, Ohio and Virginia. has se- cured oil leases on almost all the land i in the St. Joe valley, and has gone east for the purpose of securing the proper machinery for sinking the pro- posed wells. The regular derrick and bull wheel of the oil regions will be introduced by him. That oil exists in this region admits of little doubt, as it has worked it's way to the sur face in many places. There are a number of springs in Newton and Searey counties so impregnated with oil that the water is unfit to drink. In one place the oil has accumulated in pool and is used for medicinal pur- pose by those in the neighborhood.
 At Stuttgart, in Arkansas county, a local company has been organized with $14,000 capital to begin boring at once and if oil in paying quantities should be found syndicate is to be formed to handle and market the cut put.
 Pine Bluff, so far, has escaped the fever, but as it continues to get near here very rapidly it is possible that the oil citpmpnt will hroaI. Iooca anv day.
