NORTH AND SOUTH
 ROAD T0 MEMPHIS Director K. B. Bloom Says New Line Will Be Built to Tennessee Metropolis Within Is Months.
IS IN LITTLE ROCK
Road Will Compete With Cotton Belt Freight Rates Will Be Given Pine Bluff Merchants.

It is the intention of the officials of the new Pine Bluff North and South railroad to build that road northeast from Pine Bluff to Mem- phis, says the Little Rock Gazette. This announcement was made for the first time last night by E. B. Bloom, a director of the North and South Railroad company, who was in the city looking after the in terests of the new Arkansas line. MT. Bloom also stated that the of ticials of the road expected it to be completed to Memphis within IS months.
 Memphis is to be the northern terminal, while Shreveport, La, will be the southern terminal. When completed from terminal to termi- nal the line will be more than 300 miles long. Nearly the entire road will be in Arkansas.
 llG uISJ SCCllOu Ol JllC H0W line to be built will extend be- tween Pine Bluff and either Lon oke or De Vall's Bluff, a distance of about 46 miles, At De Vall's Bluff the line will connect with the Frisco and at Lonoke with the Rock Island railroad. It is thought that this section of the line will be built within six months. It is the intention, at the end of that time, to increase the force of workmen employed in the construc- tion of the road and build it south as far as Shreveport and north east from Pine Bluff as far as Mem- phis, where it will connect with the Illinois Central and other lines.
 The contract for the construc- tio of the road as we'll as far the bridge at Pine Bluff has already been let to the Thomas A. Bell Con- atruction company. This company is building a railroad in Indiana at present. but within 40 dayss it is thought that the worn of construct ing the North and South railroad will be begun.
 The Pine Bluff North and South railroad will be built entirely by Pine Bluff capitalists. It will be built for the purpose of competing with the Missouri Pacific and Cot ton Belt railroads, which at pres ent control traffic out of Pine Bluff.

 morning. In brief the committee recommends that the work De con and that the building be eoassr}.at- ed according to plans and specilica- tions except the dome and iuside marble finish However the report severely eXcoriates Architect Mann and Caldwell X Drake, tie present contractors. The committee charges Architect Mann with changing the original plans and substituting them for the original drawings, and scores Caldwell & Drake for legis- latiye interference. whom, the re- port says, have received full com pensation for the work done, but the committee does not deem it eX- pedient to change contractors at this time. An appropriation of S250,O00 to complete the work un- der contract, is therefore recom- mended.
 The committee also recommends the election of superintendent to
 constantly watch the work. Senator Wingo submitted a mi
 nority report, agreeing in the main with the majority report, but rec
 ommending the Immediate dis Charge of Architect Mann.
