PoRrKR's PRIMARY LAw.-Judging from vari-
Gus paragraphs which have been published in the

city are making vigorous efforts to have their
primaries conducted under the surveillance of
this admirable law. We hope the experiment
will be thoroughly and fairly tried, as its sue
cess or failure will serve as landmark to guide
other communities in regard to its adoption or
rejection. There is scarce doubt that if it is
found to work we'll in this trial that it will be
called into use throught the entire State during
the coming Summer Therefore, the present op-
portunity should be eagerly embraced by all right
thinking residents of the Capital, to have the
new system properly and honestly inaugurated.

B6- We have hitherto suggested that
it was time to abandon the cultivation OF
cotton in this quarter, and that greater
profit would be realized to every ind
vidual farmer who attended chiefly or
wholly to raising grain or stock. On
this subject the Little Rock Gazette says:
"This years experience will be sufficient
to convince the frmest friend of cotton
culture that it must be abandoned at
once or our planting community will be
bankrupted. We undertand that plant
ers in this vicinity are now paying one
dollar hundred for picking cotton. This
is equivalent to three and half cents
pound for lint cotton, and to this add the
tax, and one half the value Of a pound of
cotton in this market is consumed.
"Now is the time for sowing wheat,
and we trust a large crop will be put in
this year. Planters are under no obi
cations to ruin themselves by planting
cotton merely to furnish employment to
lazy, capricious negroes. Wheat is
worth 81 so per bushel in the Western
markets. At this price its production
would be profitable on any soil in the
State. If good crop is put in herea'
bouts the coming year, mills will be
erected to convert it into -four here at
home, and a ready market will be found
for all that can be grown. The New
Orleans market expects to obtain a large
supply of it's corn from Arkansas this
year, as the crop of the West is very
short 1t will command a good price
and prove far more remunerative crop
than cotton"
