i President, at the Governor home. much to all of us. We ask, tsere- fore, that bef5se you go fur. her YOU stop and think the matter ovsr sob- ertusly. If you are not right. get righT. If yoa. have erred in your Judgment and signed against the free bridge, dc not be ashamed to adm't it. It takes much mo.e of a man 10 admit mistake than to ccn- tlfae Ill the wrong, at personal sacrifice because Of pride. Instead of continuing useless fight consider the advantages of building this bridge. Some of these advantages we enamGrate below:
 The bridge will unite the two sec lions of the county winch are now divided oy a great barrier
 The bridge will bring at least cna new railroad into Jefferson County. perhaps several.
 The bridge vii make truck-farming g cn the north side of tn,e river pos s:ble.
 The bridge will enable the people on the north side of the river to carTy tateir butter, eggs and produce to maek;t where there is always; a demand for such things.
 The bridge will enable tte farmer on Ghe north side of the river to haul his cC..ton to market.
 The fridge will eliminate the un- pleasant and eXpens ve delays which TcsW are necessary when crossing the river in ferry boats, and it can be built at no greater cost to the aver age farmer living on the north side of the river than his presen'; farriage. For example: John Smith owns one hundred and sixty acres of land, which is valued at fly dollars an acre, and which is assessed at fifty per cent or four thousand dcllars Pine Bluff is his market He goes there with a tw'o horse wagon twice a month paying fifty cents ferriag ge for the round tip, which amounts to twelve dollars yeer. His br'dge tax at three mills would be only twelve dollars. Wel have every as- i1ot will not exceed that, amount.
 The bridge will make possible good roads from Jefferson County to lte rice lands north of it.
 The bridge with an interurban lime will advertise the county and a,.tracI settlers and investors.
 The bridge will increase the tax able property in Jefferson County two million dollars by bringing a railroad across Ehe county and an in terurban lime from Little Beck and Hot Springs, which should cores pondingly reduce the rate of taxa .ion.
 The bridge will cause the open ng up of farm lands that will produce fifty thousand bales of cotton and ever two million bushels of rice.
 The btidge will cause the building of additional sa'wnlills, blaming mills, hlcop factor es, stave mills and barrel factories which will give employment to many msn. When the Cotton Belt shops and other large industries shut down the workmerl will not have to remain idle, but will find employ ment at other plants.
 The bridge, bringing in new rail- road with competitive rates, will mean the starting ef tile and pottery plarts, rice mills and cotton factories
 The bridge, in addition to all these other benefits, will revolutionize and stimulate the commercial and in- dustr.al development and finally make Jefferson County, with it's al ready irrstimable resources, the gar den spot of the world.
