COTTON MILL FOR
 PINE BLUFF Eastern and Northern Capi talists Would Finance
 the Project
PROPOSITION COMING
Would Lend Money and Take Major. fy Stock of Local People
 B 1-3 Per Cent

A movement will probably be
 launched here within the next few weeks for the establishment and building Of a large cotton mill in Pine Bluff, to be financed and almcst wholly owned by Northern and East. ern capitalists.
 According to statement made by prominent business man last night a proposition has been made to Pine Rluffians, through him, for the build- ing of mammoth cotton mill here, to cost about $200,OO0. The capi- tal1sts behind the project are said tc be willing to invest heavily in real estate and in the proposed plant, provided the citizens of Pine Bluff take from 25 per cent to B 1-3 per cent of the stock. This would be a total of about $66,00o to he sold here.
 After the required amount of stock is disposed of in Pine Bluff the capi- talfsts will agree, it is said, to take the remainder of the stock and to furnish the money for the erection and equipment of the mill.
 The plan of the foreign capitalists ia to purchase large plantation near Pine Bluff to be operated in con- nection with the mill. They would plant their own selection of seed, that the character of cotton that land O.. this section should yield. might he grown. It is authoritivevly stated that the capitalists have been attract ed to Pine Bluff as location for the proposed cotton mill through the brdnging of natural gas to this city from the Caddo fields.
 They argue that cottcn mill here would be paying investment They say it would save all foreign profits, freight, ginning, comp~essing and commissions, which would be a big item. Some public announcement of the proposition is expected within . short time
