cember Is.

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION is co.

While railroad extension over the
whole country is, at present. at it's
minimum, there is still enough CON

great number of future projections
that are at present being planned to
Justify the assertion that the year
1905 will be one of the greatest in the
railroad history Of Arkansas" was the
statement given out by one of the rail
way officials here yesterday, says the
Little Rock Gazette.
AS an indication of the future activ-
ity of the railroads in the state, it was
cited that a great number of connect
ing lines would probably be built in
the western half of the state within
the next fifteen months.
Besides the completion of the Bates
vile branch of the Iron Mountain.
and the Searcy and Des Arc line OF
the Rock Island, the following it is
believed will be opened for traffic be-
fore the close of the coming year:
The Pine Bluff and Western, between
Pine Bluff and Benton, via Sheridan:l
the Memphis, Helena and Louisiana,
to connect Memphis with New Or
leans, via Lake Providence, now build
ing at Latour; the Hot Springs Mena
and Western, proposed line from
Hot Springs west, to connect with
Mena on the Frisco; the extension of
the st. Louis and North Arkansas
southeast to Searcy.
Work is also being done on the
south end of the Louisiana and Arkan-
sas. the connecting link between
Nashville on the Arkansas and Louis.

Gently organized company which pro-
poses to build line connecting Fort
Smith and ClarksviHe, have stated
that this road would be in operation
within twelve months.
1t is also thought that the Paragouh

eastern part of the state, will shortly
extend its lines, as a meeting of the
stockholders is called for that purpose

DON WANT WORK

PLOYMENT AT THIRTY CENTS

Hang Around Saloons and Have Money
for Drink But Never Known
to Work.
SHOULD eE MADE GO TO WORK.

On Saturday afternoon. Pine Bluff
is; generally full tDf negroes or at least
certain streets of the city are crowded
with members of the Ethiopian race,
termed in common parlance, "niggers.'
These negroes frequent that row of
saloons on East Barraque street owned
Ey c. G. Brockaway and commonly
termed "The Budweser.' They have
high old times drinking nickel
whisky, gin and beer and spend the
remaining moments singing and play
ing cards. But they will not work,
and there seems to be no way to make
them work They all have jobs, yet
no one ever saw them doing manual
labor except in the efforts to crawl out
of the gutter.
The steamer j n Harbin arrived
Saturday about noon. and had heavy
cargo of freight consigned to mer-
chants in Pine Bluff, which freight
should have been unloaded in the
shortest possible time. Mr. c. F..
IhilpOt, manager Of the Arkansas Riv-
el packet company. to which company
freight was sent, found himself short
CT hands TO move the goods. and he
took a trip up East Barraque in search
of laborers He met scores of ne
Groes. but none would work even al
80 cents an hour wages. The work
was light and required no skill what
ever Mr. Philpot found at least fifty
big negro men in Brockways saloon
and tried to persuade them to work,
but they would not. He appealed to
Chief Culpepper of the police force to
enforce the vagrancy law and make
the negroes work for him, but Mr. Cul-
pepper was powerless to help. All
OF the negroes had jobs and most of
them working for Mr.. Brockway and
man who has job can't be charged
vagrant.
Mr. Philpot went back to his wharf
to get the boat unloaded with what
few laborers he had while the negroes
went back to their gin, and things
moved on in "the same old way
