across the Arkansas river for free use.
1t cost a great deal more than was
fact the people would not have the
money returned to them which the
bridge has cost and the bridge done
away with It was one of the best
ever made by the county.
1t was the means of developing lands
that were idle. The same would be
the case here if free bridge were
built. There are some very fine lands
on the side of the river opposite Pine
Bluff and if free bridge were built
these lands would be developed to a
high state of cultivation. because the
free bridge would open a convenient
market for the farm products. 1t
would also be of incalculable benefit
to Pine Bluff, because it would bring
a large amount of business which does
not come here now, and it would
create much new business for the city.
The Graphic has discussed and adj
yocated the free bridge proposition
year in and year out for many years,
and it has become somewhat dis
heartcned over the results But the
question is once more being agitated,
and there are gentlemen at present be
hind the movement who say that they
are going to make the free bridge a
go. They talk quite rosy on the sub
ject. and the Graphic hopes to see
their claims a realization. 1t is Will
inc to aid it in every legitimate way.

There is no secrecy in community
of woe, says the Little Rock Demo,

woe among a select coterie of Little

proves the rule and in 4 case which

went to the office Of Cantrell & Lough-

medium of advertising and the only
one that proves satisfactory at all
times.

INSURANCE Too HIGH
is WHAT THE COTTON SEED OIL
OIL MlLLERS SAY
Met at New Orleans and Took Pre-
imInary Steps to Launch lnsur-
ance Company.

A New Orleans telegram says: 1t
is probable that by this fall the cotton
seed oil mllers Of the southern states
| will have an insurance company Of
their own because of the recent ad-
vance in rates on oil mills. At the
meeting last April in Dallas, Texas,
the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers
association appointed special COM
mittee under the Craftsmanship Of G..
| \. Benson. Of Chattanooga. to agitate
| the subject of a mutual insurance
company for the cotton seed oil mill
men and formulate plans. The com
mittee held two preparatory meetings
in Memphis, Tenn, and then met here
this afternoon. The meeting was held
in Mr.. Henson's room in the St.
Charles hotel
They agreed tonight upon the gen
eral character Of the company to be
formed and adopted bylaws. In fact
they did everything but select the
home Office and the underwater. NJ
J. SaNlers, president of the Progress
sive Union, addressed the meeting and
advocated the establishment of the
home Office in this city His speech
greatly Impressed the committeeman
and afterwards several OF them Gx-
pressed themselves as in favor of New
Orleans but it is understood that the
matter will be mentioned in a pros
pectus which will be sent to the 500
rill men il the southern states.
The bylaws adopted at todays meet
ing will be recommended to the stock
holders of the proposed insurance com
pany 1t is proposed to capitalize the
company at S29o,00 with a surplus Of
$100 900. The work of organization
will begin as soon as 100000 is paid
in.
A copy of the bylaws and the pros
pectus will be sent 10 each OF the 500
mills in the association. located all
through the cotton states, and the mill
men will be asked to take stock in
the proposed company. AS soon as the
prescribed amount Of stock is taken up
the organization will begin and the
stockholders will decide upon the To-
cation Of the home office. AS soon as
the answers have been received from
the mill men another melting Will be
held. This is expected to be within
thirty Or sixty days. 1t is thought
that the company will be organized
ana established by October. at the lat
est.
This step is taken by the cottonseed
oil men because there has been an ad-
vance in the insurance rates on Oil
mills. Rates have advanced between
25 and so per cent within the last
! sixty days. and it is to protect the cot
tonsed oil met from excessive insur-
ance rates that the company is or
ganized
Mr.. G. n. Henson Of Chattanooga
presided at the melting. The following
other members were present: Messrs.
J. W. Allison, Innis, Tex; Col. E. S..
Ready, Helena, Ark; T. NJ. Smedes,
