Little Rock IS soon to have a cotton seed oil factory. It seems to us that if the prominent and substantial citizens of the place were to give the proper cncour- agement to manufacturing estab- lishments, that there might be factories of all kinds located there. Hundreds of articles of every day consumption and use might just as we'll be manufactured at the Capital of our State as to ship them here from other placea. There's money in it for the man. ufacturer and the consumer. Give us more manufacturing es- tablishments at Little Rock.

 ship.

By virtue of authority conferr- ed upon us by the County Cen tral Committee, the undersigned hereby calls the Primary Meeting for Illinois township to convene at Russellville on Saturday the 18th of May 1876, for the pur- pose of electing Eight delegates to the county convention which will be held at Dover on the 10th of May. We earnestly urge upou every good citizen that he use his efforts to secure general attend ance of the voters of the township. It is also suggested that 1t might be well for each voter to attend the Primary with his mind fully made up as to whether the primary election system or the convention plan shall be adopted in putting out a county ticket. In order that there may be perfect harmony on this point the sense of the voters at the primary meet ings should be consulted. The County Central Committee could thus get the sense of the party on this question.

COMMITTEE FOR POPE COUNTY. AsE.,}
 Dover, March 21Uh, 1876. )
 convention of the Democratic party of Pope county will he held at Dover, on Sat urdav, the goth day of May next, for tho purpose of selecting and instructing dele gatcs to the Democratic state Convention, which is to he held ia the city of Little Rock Ark, on the l4th day of June next. Also to select a county democratic central commit tee for the county, for the ensuing cam paign, with instructions as to their duty in organizing the party in the ensuing cam paign. It is requested by your committee, that township meetings be held in the sey- cral townships of the county, at as early day as conveu tent, that full expression may be had.
 The asis of representation and voting in the organization of the convention, shall be as follows based upon the vote for the State constitution of 1874: Each township shall be entitled to one vote, without regard to it's voting population, and after the first 50 votes, to an additional vote to each succeed ing 50 votes or fraction of said 50 votes in ex- cess of %. The number of persons compos- ing the dele gation from each township shall

 Clarke, 2 Allen, Galley Rock, 3 North Fork, Wilson, 3 Liberty, 3 Griffin. 2 Dover, 1 Gum Log, 1 Martin, ? Morelsnd. Hickey,
 Your committee in organizing the party in 1874 worked with all their energy and ability for the welfare of the party, disre' parding the threats and menaces of dcma- gogues and disorgauizers. The great effort of the enemies of the party was to disorgaa- fse the party, run what they called good {7,mocrdts as Independents. How far they succeeded was told at the ballot box in numbers not soon forgotten we should think for not one of those so-callcd good Independents Democrats having received a respectable vote. It is conceded by the friends of the party that wise initial step was taken in said organization by the intro- oluction of the primary election system. We deem it highly important that the advant- ages thus gained should be followed up.
 Organize by holding primary election in the several townships of the county prior to the general election. We regard these primary elections purely Democratic. A few wire workers and office seekers can not control the nomination of candidates as they frequently do in county conventions.
 The hard working farmer and mechanic have no time or inclination to meet in eau GUS, draft resolutions and have the choice of minority declared the nominee, but by |. d tba hoe nf material used
