MOST OF THE EARLY CORN IS MADE, BUT SOME OF
 IT NEEDS RAIN.
HOT DAYS, COOL NIGHTS.
The First Crop of Irish Potatoes About All Dug, Second Crop

U. s. Department of Agriculture,
 Climate and Crop Bulletin of the
 Weather Bureau, Arkansas Sec
 ton, for the week ending July IF:
 Hot days and cool nights during the first of the week and high tenn peratures with an unequal distribu- ton of rain during the closing days of the week, were the characteristic features of the weeks weather.
 The hot days and cool nights were not favorable for the growth of crops, and they suffered further in- jury by the dry, hot weather of the last of the week. Most of the early corn is made, but some of the early planted and the young corn need rain. Chineh bugs are reported as doing damage to corn. Cotton, as rule, is doing well, especially that which has been thoroughly cQltivat- ed; it's growing well and fruiting nicely in most sections, while in a few localities it is beginning to feel the want of rain, and is being tpiur, e5 by shafpsbooters. Wheat ard oas thrashing continues; reports vary as to the yield, in some sec .tions the yield of both will be below the average, while in others it will be far to good. First crop of Irish potatoes about all dug, second crop coming up.

The move would doubt. less De of more convenience to the road, and much benefit will be de rived from it by Pine Bluff.

WOOD WOULD LIKE TO GET A CRACK AT JEFF DAVIS WHILE OUT
 STUMPlNG.
THE MAN FROM LEE
Says He Thinks He Gan Convince the People That Davis is Not the
 Man They Want,

Hon. J. E. Wood, editor of the Lee County Courier and member of the lower house of the recent gener- al assembly, was in the city yester- day, says today's Gazette. He was here on private business: In con- versation with Gazette represen- tative he said his visit to Little Rock was of no political significance whatever aI read in your Sundays paper, he said athe report of At torney General Jeff Davis speech delivered at Conway. l think it was tie most amusing thing l ever read. I believe that Mr. Davis has as much right to be a candidate for governor of Arkansas as any man in the State. l object, however, to the policy he is pursuing to secure the nomination. l don'i believe any man should be elevated to office by deceiving the people. If he will come 10 Eastern Arkansas and pre- sent his claims for the office I will take pleasure, if he viii divide time with me, in convincing the people in my section of the State that he is not entitled to any consideration for tue position to which be aspres. He said in his speech at Conway that | accused him of being daft. ] have never in my newspaper, or in private conversation, sald aught in criticism of the mental capacity of Hon. Jeff Davis. His ability as the legal represent tative of the State government is too well known to the people for any comment from me. As to his fitness 10 fill the guberaa- torial chair, think am good judge of tba4 and if he will visit my section of tue State and permit me to answer one of his speeches, soliciting votes for the nomination, think 1 will be able to convince the people in my part of the State that he is not the man we want. Ia my answer to MT. Davis, I shall say nothing that he or any of his friends will be apt to eonsid- CT as abuse or that 1 am opposed to him on any other ground than th2f his defeat for the nomination for governor would be in the interest of the State of Arkansas.

peculiar and perplexing question Of equitable adjustment of rights, property and education of two races which had so long associated to- gether as slave and master, but who now stand with equal rights and powers under the law of the land. Ia working out these difficulties we have felt that we had the earnest sympathy of the educational leaders of the other sections O. our country.
 The Southern Educational Asso. citation was organized for the sole purpose of dealing with questions and cond tions peculiar to the South. We weld to none in our loyalty 10 the Stars and Stripes.
 The distinguished gen .leman from Alabama, who yesterday re. sponded for the South to the gener- ous words of welcome, in his loyal and patriotic utteranees, voiced the sentiments of every true Southern heart. We are proud of the history and achievements of the men of the South. We are proud of the fact tkat we have contributed Washing ton and Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, Calhoun and Clay, Gar land and Wheeler to the galaxy of bright and glorious names that have made our country famous.
 "A little more than a year ago, when the President of the United States called for volunteers, the whole country knows how eagerly ana quickly the young men of the South, for the most part the sons of Confederate veterans, came forward to offer their lives in defense of the nations honor The people of m y own State are especially proud of the fact that the first gun fired at Manila Bay was fired by a heuten- ant from Arkansas, a boy whose i father had w0ru the stars of a colo nel in the Confederate Army We proud, too, that our Chief Executive himself an officer in the Federal Army, saw fit to call to his aid two l of the S0uth's most distinguished leaders, Fazhugh Lee and Joe Wheeler. an act of magnanimity un- paralleIled in the worlds history and in unmistaka0Ie token of the confidence reposed ia the South by the great head of the nation.
 aYou have heard the statement, no North, no South, TO East, no West, but I say to you that there is a North, there is a South, there is an East, there is a West, and that these are the four mighty corner stones of the grandest temple ever erected to human liberty, under whose protecting roof the oppressed of all nations and climes and races have found rest and security.
 
 For many years 1t has been the custom of the presidents of the N. D. A. to visit our sections and ald us with his words Of wisdom, and again and again has cur much-loved l Commissioner of Education favored us with his presence aad words oi cheer and encouragement.

NEWS FROM OTIS
Hong Kong Junta Caused Recent Out
break in Negroes

Washington, December 19.-General Otis
today cabled the war department as fol-
lows:
Manila December 19.-Information from
Hong Kong and Negroes shows that the
late Negros uprising was the work of the
Hong Kong junta. Three junta agents visit
ed Negroes in the latter part of November
and took in 400 Tagaos from Panay. and
much literature, which they circulated.
They announced great victories in Luzon;
that insurgent independence would be rec
ogn.zed soon by the United States, and
warned Negros of punishment in store. and
directed an uprising throughout the island
for December 2. The result was the gather
ing of a few hundred of the ignorant
masses and robbers and consequent fright
of the better element.
General Smith has imposed on the towns
concerned a fine to be paid into the general
treasury. He reports the guilt of two
priests, and says American clergymen are
needed; that Negros would be easily con-
trolled If left to itself, but fears Tagalo
vengeance until Aguinaldo fully establishes
himself by driving the Americans out of
Inzon. The most improbable statements
are believed by the ignorant natives.
