Next season the cotton planters should tie their entire cotton crop with wire ties, and l hope to have your hearty cooperation in the matter There will be little more than half crop of cotton made in Georgia, and pick ing will soon be over"
 incarceration with a Democrat" reporter, Mr. Vineenheller said this morning:
 "The use of wire ties is perfectly practicable, although they have not been used extensively as yet.
 "The cotton crop in Arkansas will not exceed 450,0oO bales, or 50 per cent of that which was expected from the acreage. That is the estimate I made three months ago, and the reports received from other states show that the same decrease exists elsewhere. Cotton ought to bring 9h cents by November 15, and my advice to the farmers is to hold it. The surplus from the immense crop of 1894 was exhausted by the demand brought about by the much smaller crop of 1895, and there is no reserve to compensate for this years shortage.
 T wish cotton seed would get down to $2 instead of $6 ton, then the farmers would use it on their land, rather than sell it to these fellows to squeeze the oil out and impoverish their land. Cotton seed is 6 fine fertilizer. Col. John M. Oracle informs me that he used 200 tons on his land in Jefferson county, and increased his average from 9 to S3 bushels of corn per acre, while his neighbors, who used no fertilizer report a decrease"

 The first bid was $16,00O by Mr. Mo. Hanf. Mr. Gus Blass, of Little Rock, who was mentioned in yesteI- days GRAPHIC as q possible bidder, was on hand. and he promptly raised the bid to ST 1000. From that time on bidding was lively with raise from $500 to $l ,000 chatter. until $20,000 was reached, when each bid- der became more cautious and their bids were from $50 to $l00 each. Finally Mir. Blass raised the bid to $22, 100, when the bidding begun to drag along at a very slow pace. Alternating bids of $50 each, Messrs.

COTTON TEN CENTS.
Four Bales of Long Staple Brought That

Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, D. c. Burford X Co, purchased four bales of long staple cotton from Gapias Williams. paying the round figure of ten cents per pound there for
 The cotton is what is known as the African long staple variety, the staple of which measured 1h inches in length.
 Capias Williams is an industrious celored mau, and his four bales averaged him S55 each.
 Only d few days ago another col ored man sold bale of the Cook long staple cotton at 10B cents per pound, and these two instances of high prices for long staple cotton should certainly induce our farmers to plant more of the long staple variety.

As this is the first opportunity, and in all probability will be the last, that our people will have of hearing the story Of some of the most daring ex- pioits of the Confederate navy, from one of it's most distinguished repre- sentatives and active participants. none should allow the opportunity to go by without hearing this in- struetiVe and interesting lecture.

THOSE MEXICAN DOLLARS.
A Bium Made by Gold-Bug of Lonoke
 Called.

Cashier Roberts of the Bank of Central Arkansas last week import- ed ten Mexican silver dollars to this place for the purpose of selling them at 50 cents each as an object lesson to the silver people. He sold them very readily to some of the most prominent silver men in town, and could have sold more if he had mad them. And we are informed that Dan Daniel, vice-president of the bank and chairman of the Lon oke Free Silver Club, called at the bank and requested Mr. Roberts to order him $l 900 worth of Mexican dollars at once, and was told that they could not be had. There are other business men in town who want Mexican silver dollars at 90 cents each, to the amount of $5, 900. They want them as an inyestment as the bullion value of the Mexican dollar in the market now is 61 cents. It is plain to see that the sale ol these dollars in large quantities would be a losing game for the gold bugs. and the sale of them in small quantities for political purposes only shows to what desperate straits the advocates of the exclu sive use of the yellow metal are re- dueed .-[Lonoke Citizea.
