The spring season was very late, and the spring floods make an i'm portant yield in the flooded district impossible.
 The later season was warm and dry Warmth is needed, but an ex- cessively hot season with long dronth is injurious to the crop, and these influences have done much to eartail the production. We agree with the informant of the norld that the crop has been oyeresti- mated.
 Prices are now auetuating in the worlds markets, and there has been during the past six weeks de- cline in price which the situation does not justify.
 The yellow fever quarantine may retard the marketing Of the crop; if so; it will not be without compensa bion. The cotton planter should not hasten bis crop to market, for with better times and a better feel ing there should be better prices for cotton.

DINING AND FEEDING.

American Table Manners Not So Open to
 Criticism Formerly.
 It has been conceded that the degree of civilization q people has reached may l ne accurately measured by its dietary. Now, some one has said that "the American feeds, the Englishman de- yours, the Frenehman dimes. ? In view ot this statemen6 one wonders what the English have been doing through the centuries to baye advanced so little. We do not pretend to answer for them. but would say for ourselves, we have been heWlng our way through forests. pio- heerlng Ill every direction. in every seiise-ample apology for feeding in- stead of dining.

OUR FAIR EDITION.

The GRAPHIC presents it's readers today with it's Fair edition of twelve pages. From an artistic point of
 view wa believe it will eclipse any of our former efforts, or any similar effort ever attempted in this city. The GRAPHIC, has esteemed the Fair as being worthy of some special effort, and we have not hesitated to endeavor to meet the requirement. however exacting it might be. The Fair is an enterprise fraught with immeasurable possibilities for Pine Bluff, and being one of the original advocates of the enterprise, we have left no stone unturned to contribute to it's success. If this special Fair edition shall serve to attract notice to that notable event, and succeed in impressing the public with the . importance of the Fair to such q degree that people will come out to witness it, then we shall feel amply repaid fer the ardnous and exacting labors required in the issuance of this splendid edition.
 We desire, however, to say q few words about our beautiful cover pages. The first page design, we think, is very appropriate to the occasion, while it's artistlc features are par excellence. The back of the cover represents some unique and characteristic Fair scenes, while the advertising cards thereon represent the leading and largest wholesale mercantile and financial establishments in the city. A con servative estimate of the aggregate wealth of the firms represented thereon places it at s1 900, a0o We doubt if ever single page adver. tisement outside of a metropolitan newspaper represented as much wealth. This is especially credit able to our mercantile and banking interests, and 10 the GRAPHIC. \ survey at q glance shows that Pine Bluff has Il large numbero Of wholesale houses, representing nearly all lines of trade, and those who see this page cannot fail te be impressed with that fact.
 On the whole we think this edition will be creditable alike to Pine Bluff and to the GRAPHIC.

THE FAIR GROUNDS.
Was a Scene of Great Activity Sat.
 urday.

A GRAPHIC reporter visited the Fair grounds Saturday afternoon and in- spected the premises and attractions there. For the convenience of those expecting to visit the Fair. . brief description is given of the arrange ments.
 Upon passing through the main entrance of the park Il general view is gained of the buildings, race track and lawns. The fences and build ings have all received q fresh coat of whitewash, and though. possibly. not presenting 50 gay an appear- anee as the Nashville Centennial. still they make q little white city that is neat and attractive.
 Just inside the gate k a eomhina- ton Ferriss wheel and merry y-go- round, which proposes to fafaish plenty of fun. To the left of this is Machinery Hall, and a little fnrther beyond is Floral Hall This build. ing is two stories high. The first story wfIl contain the exhibits made by our merchants and farmers. tn the center of tAe building is q wide stairway loading to the seeond ftaor. where will be found the exhibits made by tue ladies of Pine Bluff. Along the west of the Floral Hall are number of tents. which will be occupied by parties Furnishing lunches
 The grand stand k just south and a little to the left af Floral Hall. An additional grand stand has been erected for he accommodation of visitors. One of the buildings of most importance on the grounds k the one erected for the exhibition of fowls and poultry. These quarters are c0mm0dious and well arranged.
 Ta the far south ef the park will be found the pens for exhibiting hogs This department is being ea larged as rapidly as possible.
 In the southeast corner 0f the park are situated the principal stables. There are thirty stalls in these sta bles for the accommodation of the blooded horses that will race during. the Fair These stables are nearly filled already.
 At the eastern entrance are addf- tional stables, which are also filled with race horses.
 11he track is being put in fifst-elass condition. The sides of the track have been banked up. sprinkler is on the grouds and the course will be sprinkled and rolled before the races.

Dr. Spearman was taken in charge by pr. Booth. It appears that, as was his duty when any contagious disease was in his territory, Dr Booth wired Surgeon General Wyman that there were two cases of dengue fever in Shreveport \ reply came to keep close watch on the denue. The reply was received by another party named Booth, and, from some cause or other, r,.the report leaked out that Dr. Booth was in communication with Dr. WYman. Reports never grow les. In this instance i, reached the ears of Division Superintendent Morley that there was yellow fever in Shre- veport, and, believing it to be his duty, he brought his officials out of that city immediately after reeeiv- ing the report,

THE COTTON CROP.
The New York World says.

The New York Hortd says.
 ttThe manager of great cotton seed oil plant informs the lForid that this years crop will fall about 2.0o0, 00o bales short of the current estimates.
 He gets his information from his cotton seed buyers, who go into every part of the cotton country, and he is confident his figures are accurate.
 ssIf he is right there is all over estimate of tbe crop which threat ems serious detriment to the plant CTS. For the price of cotton IS de Termined by the crop estimate. and if this is greatly too high the price will remain correspondingly too low until the error becomes apparent. By that time the cotton will have rassed out Of the hands of it's grow CTS and any increase in price will in ure to the benefit of the spectators only.
 It is difficult to see on what the estimate of lo, 900, 900 bales is based.
