Enthusiasm ran riot last night. The
courthouse was packed with as
greedy crowd of men as ever assem-
bled under the temple of the fair god
dess-greedy for enterprise, for free
dom from the thralldom of corporate
oppression fer commercial expansion
and prosperity.
Such was the character of the as
semblage at the mass meeting held
to discuss the new railroad project
from Pine Bluff north to connection
with the Rock Island. It.was in fact
d ratification meeting-held to ratify
the action of the county levying court
in appropriating $4,000 fer the free
bridge across the Arkansas river at
this point. and by which the city
hopes to get the new road north. II
may also be stated that it hopes, by
this means TO get the new road south
tG Monticello. for it was publicly stat
ed at this meeting thai 'if the Pine
Bluff North and South road is built
north to a connection with the Rock
Island, The road to Monticello will also
l,e built if the former is not built,
the latter Will not be built These
were important words, and created
somewhat of a sensation.
The assemblaae last night was a
largo cne. and a representative one,
and one that will go down in history
as an important ono.
Called in response to a request on
the part of the Pine Bluff board of
trade, President S. c. Alexander f
that organization was introduced by
Judge +. J. KerWin as the permanent
chairman of the evening Mr. Alex
ander stated that the meeting had
been called for the purpose of ratify-
ing the action of the county levyins
court in making the appropriate fol
the free bridge across the river at this
point He said if such a bridge was
built Pine Bluff would have great
line of railway extending from Delphi
La. to DuVall's Bluff, Ark. He plead
ed for unity of action among the com
mercial elements of Pine Bluff. "With
out it. we can accomplish nothing,
he said; with it, we can accomplish
all things. Every Pine Bluffian should
put his shoulder to the wheel and
work and pull for a Greater Pine

Judge w. D. Jones was next to ad
dress the curry" as he termed it, be-
ing a lawyer. The judge very nicely
turned the laughter his slip of the
tongue occasioned, by declaring that
after all the people there assembled
was the largest jury he had ever ad-
dressed: that, they were the arbiters
of the free bridge and railroad propo-
sitions. 1t was for them to determine
the fate of the two big propositions.
He alluded to the wondrous changes
that had taken place in this city since
he came here thirty years ago. Rail-
roads were largely. if not solely, re-
sponsible for the progress made. He
said the people need not fear an in

DR.. Junius Jordan.

Dr. Junius Jordan was the next
speaker. He prefaced his remarks
with humorous tories that created
good humor and laughter He de-
clared that the trouble with Pine Bluff
had been a lack of unity of interests
and harmony among our capitalists.
He pleaded for an end to this, and
said that unless there was unity of
interests among our business men that
Pine Bluff could never become a big
city. We needed more railroads, more
factories, more enterprises, He ask
ed what was to become of the 5000
children now enrolled as pupils in the

less we secured more enterprises to

was demanded. The stock issued
would be in the nature of a first mort
gage bond on the road. The building
of the road was not percsnal matter
for benefit of few, but for the well
fare of all alike. The road was for
the protection of Jeffersen county and
Pine Bluff, which, without it, would
soon be cut Off from the marts of the
world He urged every citizen to
cordially give his support to the enter
prise and said the building of the
Lridge, which would open this city to
the marts of the world would be a
grand monument to our enterprise. He
closed by urging every citizen to stand
tagether and work in unity for the
success of the bridge building and the
railroad.

Judqe E.J. KerWin.

Judge Kerwin followed DR.. CALDWELL
make speech on the free bridge
question. He had not forgotten that
speech, nor was he there to make
apologies for it, as for anything he had
said before the levying court. He
told how only short time before the
meeting of the levying court he had
been approached on the subject of the
free bridge 1t was a big question.
one entirely too big for him to consid-
er on such short notice. That from
commercial standpoint he favored
the free bridge question. AS county
was his duty to see that the peoples
interests intrusted to him were pro-
tected He realized that the building
Of another railroad would enhance the
property values, bring in immigration
and aid in building UP the waste plac-
es of the county. He was Democrat
and now that the people through the
levying court favored the free bridge
he bowed to the will of the people and
would do all in his power to further
the enterprise. He declared that i'
the people of this county would abol-
ish the fee system at present in
vogue. that enough money could be
saved annually to pay $4,000 per year
for the construction of the bridge. He
declared that two county cfficers We're
, now drawing in fees annually from
! the people the sum of $4,000. Judge
I<erwin touched on the hospital ques-
ton, declared that it was unfortunate
that the law did net permit the APP
preparation of county funds to aid pri-
yate enterprises and that this fact
caused his opposition to the appropri-
alton ef $4,000 to the Ladies' Hospi-
tai and Benevolent association. He
affirmed his intention of enlarging
the courthouse and building a maenifi-
, cent hospital to be owned by the
county.

DR.. j. L. Caldwell.

Dr. J. L. Caldwell was the first
speaker introduced He prefaced his
remarks by saying that he had recent
ly been talking so much on the sub
ject of free bridge and another rail-
road that he feared his voice would
have the sound of "chestnut bell"
He branched out and told how the ter
ritory of this town was being curtailed
by the construction of other railroads
which were feeders for the competing
towns. He said that no short line
railroad could bear the burden of con-
structing such bridge as the one
which was to be used in crossing the
county levying board had been appeal
ed to for aid
He affirmed that after a very brief
canvass among the business men of
line Bluff that the sum of $151 900
had been quickly subscribed by fifty
one citizens and this money was to be
used in constructing the North and
South railroad. He believed that the
county should own the bridge, for once
it was constructed it would be the
means of securing more than one rail-
road which would desire to use it in
entering the city. The speaker told
how other counties were now suffer
ing by not owning bridges, as evidenc-
ed by the trouble st. Louis county is
now having. He contended that no
private corporation should be allowed
to own or control the bridge. The
citizens of the county realized the i'm
portance of the bridge, which is to in
sure more railroads and the county
levying court had, after proper safe
guards had been thrown around the
measure, appropriated 100000 with
which to begin the construction of a
bridge.
The meeting had been called and
the matter was discussed that all
might be clearly posted about the mat
ter and understand it thoroughly Our
people were urged to take stock in the

LIE REVIVAL OF A. F. OF L.
While the Federation Has Been Assist

Labor Union and the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners Have Been. Working
Against It.

War has been declared on the Ameri-
can labor union and the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners by the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. The executive coun-
Gil Of the federation, at the recent ses-
sion in Washington, passed resolutions
withdrawing the moral and financial
support of the general organization.
This action was taken because the Off
GERS of the Western, Federation of Min
ers and the American Labor union have
been active participants in a move to
form an opposition body to the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor.
Minnesota has received considerable
attention from the Western Federation
Of Miners, and organizers have been
sent into the mining districts of the
state in an endeavor to obtain a foot
hold. Last week representative went
to. the Mesaba range, where he is now
attempting to form a rival union.T In
the Michigan mining territory organic
ers have been working with Indifferent
success for two years. This work has
been going on, too, at the same time the
Western Federation was receiving aid
from the A. F. of L.
Several attempts to organize branches
of the A. L. u. in Minneapolis have
failed, but a. representative is still
in the local field intending to
form a local union should the op-
portunity arise. @s'.~
