The price of admission for the
 GRAPHIC's next bicycle races, on
 Tuesday, September. 29th, has been advanced to 5 cents for adults and 20 cents for children under 12 years of age. Children under years of age, when accompanied by their parents, will be admitted free. The reason for this advance in the price of admission is due to the pr0fes- sional races, for which CASH prizes aggregating $4S must be paid. Pro fessional prizes must be paid in cash, and in order to meet this require ment it was found necessary to make q slight advance in the price of admission to cover the cost of the same. There has been great de- mand by lovers of the sport for pro- fessional races, and these races will be the first professional races ever witnessed in Pine Bluff In getting up these professional events at an expense of $4S over the GRAPHIc's former races, the GRAPHIC has been actuated solely by desire to accom- modate the public, and it is serious ly doubted if the advance of 10 cents for admission will be sufficient to eovar the cost of the two profess sional events. These will be the GRApHIC's last races this season.

THAT IS THE ADVICE GIVEN BY HON. W. c. VINCENHELLER, COMMISSIONER OF AGRI-
 CULTURE.
RECOMMENDS WIRE TIES.
Movement to Thwart the Cotton Tie Trust is Gaining Favor Throughout the South
 ern States.
Arkansas Democrat.l

The movement to thw art the eot- ton tie trust by the use of wire ties is gaining ill favor throughout the south. Commissioner Vineenhellerls conducting a correspondence with the commissioners of the various cotton states relative to this and other questions touching upon the cotton industry, and is thereby com bling valuable information TOT the use of the cotton grower.
 Al. Rose, commissioner of agri- culture of Texas, writes as follows; "Cotton seed opened at my home ae S5 per ton. This was very low The oil mills here in Austin say they are paying $6 per ton. l suppose this is about an average for the state. They complain that the seeu are so light that they can't handie profitably. In regard to freight on cotton seed, will say that there IS none exported, Our cotton crop IS nearly all gathered. Cotton should bring 10 cents now in my judge ment.
 IF. Culver, commissioner ot agfl culture of Alabama, writes that tht cotton seed oil industry is pretty we'll worked up in his state, ane that the seed is worth $7
 R. T. Nesbit, commissioner Q Georgia, writes: "I am unable tt give you any information as te freight rates on cotton seed, but am satisfied that the entire matter price of seed, etc. is controlled y ! trust. The farmers are offered $7 ! ton here for cotton seed. just as the, are in your state, so, of course they could be shipped profitably by you people 1 have always urged th' farmers of Georgia to keep their seee at any price below fifteen cents
