as to secure so valuable railroad as is now being offered Pine Bluff.
 The advantages to Pine Bluff in the completion of the Parker road cannot he oyerestimated. Many man ufacturing and industrial enterprises, which are seeking other 1ocatlois' vould come 10 our midst. The re mova1 of the general offices of the p,rl,er road here and the establish ment of mammoth shops and termln . ole at tbis point is one of the strong est arguments in favor of extending inc Parker road to DeVall's Bluff or Mesa through this city. More than half of the bonus money has already been raised Can Pine Bluff afford to fall down in it's worthy undertak- ing now?
 Property owners: Consider this matter carefully and we feel confl- dent that you will voluntarily give Not alone from sense of duty or feeling of civic pride as a citizen, but from a desire to promote your own interests

THE NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD.

In considering the absolute neces- sity of securing the North and South railroad. or what is more famlliarlV called the Parker road, we should not lose sight of one very important fact. and that is the opportunity if securing railroad into this, the most valuable territory adjacent to Pine Bluff will not present itself upon all occasions.
 Hamburg, Monticello and Warren, all growing towns, and many other smaller places, will naturally throw their combined business into the chan nels of Pine Bluffs iobbng and man. ufacturing enterprises. That is one of the important results to be cOh- sidered by the wholesaler of our city. From the retailers viewpoint it will bring into Pine Bluff thousands cf dollars. which today go into other channels and are fast building up other trade territories.
 The property owners should not lose sight of this fact, that if they DtI,l tenants to pay them in proportion to their Investments, the merchant and workin9man must necessarily derive an income in proportion to their eN pense of living.
 The writer in conversation With l prominent Hamburg business man re- gently. was informed that Pine Bluff business houses offer many advan- tages to merchants of his locality, but owing to cheaper freight rates and deliveries, they ere forced to buy
 
 Here is a plain business proposi- ton. Pine Bluff must either progress or property values. business inter- eventually begin to decline. There is only one possible remedy. We must buill the North and South. or Parker road
 The great volumes of trade to be secured from the territory north of Pine Bluff! which is at present being gradually taken away from Us. has not been reviewed in detail. The building of the bridge across the Ar kansas river is alone worth to Pine Bluff and it's business interests the aggregate of the bonus demanded by Mir. Parker and his associates.
 We especially urge the property owners, both large and small. ta come forward and protect the future with liberal contributions. Many it the firms and individuals have dis played the proper patriotism with liberal subscriptions. but there are as many again who have given only about one-third of what was expected of them and what ill reality. accord ing to their property holdings. they ought to give.
 We should bear in mind that the so- liciting committee is composed of merely patriotic loyal citizens, en- gagged in a trying task, reaping no benefits other than those which naturally result to every citizen of . community which is so fortunate

GOOD ADDITION
 TO STATE REVENUE
Three Blocks of Property at Texarkana Had to be Raised S246.000 To Make Its Assessment 50 Per
 Cent of Its Value.

Texarkana, Sept. l7.-The Miller County Equalization Board is busy this week with its duties. The sessions of the board are be- ing held at the court house, with NJ. E. Sanderson as president, and County Clerk A. B. Little as secretary.
 The Board is working at pres ent on the valuation of the prop erty situated in the business sec tion of Texarkana which 1t IS claimed, in certain quarters, has not heretofore been paying its property prorata of taxes. In the three blocks bounded by State Line avenue on the west, Vine street on the east, Front street on the south and Third street on the north, the Board have raised the assessments $246, GOO over and above what the total assessments amounted to as rendered for tax es by the owners.
 1t is understood that the Board is operating on basis of fifty per cent of the actual valuations. Ia other words, they are placing the assessments at one-half of the actual values of the property as. sessed.
 No member of the Board has yet been assaulten by any dis pleased property owner, "with a grievance. but there is no tell ing what the future may hold in store. There are said to be some rumblings of discomfort in some quarters, and while the public peace has not as yet been frac- tured, the friends of the members of the Board are somewhat exer- cised about them to be ''careful. 7
 Realizing the seriousness of their situation the Board Itself has adopted certain rules to safe guard their personal safety. Among these rules IS one to the effect that no member shall ap- pear alone upon the streets at any time, but that all three mem- bers shall go together whenever it is necessary for any one of them to go any place; and auoth- CT rule is that no member shall allow himself to be caught out after dark, but that all must 20 home before dusk and remain there until sln-up the next morn ing.

NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
 BUILT EVERY DAY
State Makes Good Record Last Year First Since Arkansas Has Been State That No Log School
 Houses Wers Built.

Little Rock, Sept. I7. --One school house for every working day in the year was built in Ar kansas during the past year, ac- cording to the statistics prepared on the subject by the State Edn- cational Department. The fig ures also show that last year was perhaps the first since the admis- sion of Arkansas into the Union that no log school house was built in the state.
 The Educational Department IS preparing some interesting facts and figures relating to the schools or Arkansas, those pertaining to school property, having been com pleted yesterday.
 According 10 the figures, there are COOS school buildings in the state, los brick, 5,696 frame and IA built of logs. The property is valned at $5,544,779 and the equipment at $772, 565, the total valuation being S6, 067, s42. The number of buildings enclosed is 633.
 Last year more school buildings were constructed than during any previous year, while the amount expended was greater thau that of any former year with the ex- ception of 1907, when expensive buildings were constructed in Hot Springs, Pine Bluff and other large cities of the state. The total number of school houses built last year was 229, being about one for every working day in the year. Of these school houses, 273 are frame buildings and 2o were constructed of brick. The total cost of these buildings was $452, l67.
 The buildings constructed last year were superior in character to many of those erected iu former years, the amount expended ou their construction adding much to the average value of tue school buildings in the state. Previous 10 last year, the average value of the states school property was $S99. The costly buildings erected last year increased the average value to $l, ,512.
 J. l.. Bond, deputy state super intendent of public instruction, yesterday deducted from statistics at hand that the enrolment in the public schools last year was65 per cent of the enumera ton. The total enrolment in the public schools was 37+,l54, of which PTS, 399 were whites and 9S,755 negroes. The enrolment in the colleges and other schools was 4,6l9.

Little Rock, Sept. 16.-At last the Confederate pensions have been mailed to the county clerks over the state. The office of Auditor John K. lobe yesterday afternoon had the appearance of a Chinese wedding. A candle was kept burning to melt the wax with which to seal the different packages, and all employees of the office stood about to see the work we'll done. The warrants on the state treasurer, about the size of check, were done up iu neat packages and sent out through the mail, without regis tration as there is so much red tape to be gone through in get ting the warrants cashed there is no danger of any but the proper parties ever cashlng them. When the last warrant was placed in the mail there was general sig b of relief sent up from every em- ployee in the auditors office, where the entire force had worked for weeks on the tedious work.
