CITY IN 4 HOLE.
Will Stay There Unless There is q
 Change Made Somewhere.

The city will have to discharge the entire police force and go deep CT into debt if the gambling houses are kept in darkness.
 A Graphic reporter interviewed Alderman Chas, Veil, who IS mem Der of the finance committee, on that subject this morning. We learned from him that the city is already deep in debt and with the revenue now coming 10 the city treasury, can never pay what she owes, unless the police force is dis charged and the expenses of other departments cut dow.
 The nine gambling houses, closed by Mayor Alexander recently, paid into the city treasury monthly $500 which, by the way. was a neat little sum and helped the city to a great extent financially. It was almost enough to defray the expenses Of the police department alone. The city will have to run along in the financial hole or, as said above, abolish the police department, and this carrot be done
 It takes money, and lots of it too, to run city the size of Pine Bluff and that $7.2o0 annual green cloth money will be greatly missed.

IN BOLIVAR TOWNSHIP
Gould, Alexander and Attorneys Are
 Taking Testimony.

Circuit Clerk James A. Langford, " ho went to Little Rock Thursday morning to consult with Attorney GePeral Jeff Davis and attorneys in regard to delivering the ballot poxes in question to the investigation com mittee. which has mace a request for same, returned the same after noon.
 In conversation with a Graphic re- porter Mir. Lan&ford said he had nothing to give out to the public as yet, but he will in few days re- ceive written opinions from unpreiu- diced attorneys and would act ae :. cordingly. The committee will meet again next Monday and Mir. Lang ford says he will report to them the real state of affairs. He says he is unpreiadiced and wants to give up the contested boxes as badly as the committe wants them, but, at the same time. he does not wanti to be in contempt of court.
 Mir. Langford says he will deal honestly and to the best of his abili- ty and we believe he will. No one can question Jim Langford B honesty anu each and every one will get talr deal at his hands. He is placed in a very embarrassing position. Some are inclined to censure him for refusing the committee the boxes, but we think he is more to be pitied than censured. Place yourself in his position and you would prefer that the boxes had been placed in some other persons care.
 Messrs. Goull and Alexander and their attorneys, Messrs. W. F. Cole man and D. II. Rousseau are in B0lf- var township taking testimony be. fore NJ. Danaher. nota.y. Judge Jones, attorney for McGey and Core, is with them.

Some person, who is too low to make meo tion Of, during Thursday night removed the valve from the iuspirator of the boiler in the rear of the American Excelsior Laundry Company and caused no little tron-. ble to the engineer this morning.
 The absence of the important litr tie piece of iron was discovered. however, just in time to prevent, maybe destruction to the entire. block, for after the boiler had been filled an explosion may have result ed. If the dirty sneak Is caught be should be handled accordingly.

in fifteen years, and still he 22d Of June finds half the crop in this sec tion not chopped to a stand. Some fields have already been abandoned and even with favorable weather from now on the crop will not be able to overcome the damage that has already been done; we get this from reliable planters and person al observation and simply state the facts.
 It takes a dry June to make cot ton; the plant must be well rooted in order to stand the hot weather in August and this is possible only when the weather is dry enough to send tue roots into the ground fn- stead of spreading them out near the surface as is the case in wet sea. sons.
 If the present weather continues for two weeks more the crop in this state will be cut down materially under last year; we had downpour of ram here yesterday which will stop things for nearly week.
 To put the situation in few words We can say that the crop is about three weeks late, laoor scarce aud the fields fua=of grass; the weather is cloudy and showery with a heavy downpour of oo9 or two inches about every five or SIX days. Yours very truly,
 S. C=ALExANDIR & Co.

SUDDENLY LEFT SPEEGHLESS.
Mr. VII. Adams the Subject of d
 Sad Affliction.

Mr. " III. Adams, who left this city some III onths ago to accept apo- sition with large electrical machin- cry concern in Memphis. returned Thursday afternoon from that place.
 For several years Mr. Adams was employed at the local plant of the Arkansas & Texas Consolidated Ice and Coal Company, being chief en- gineer in the ice manufacturing de- partment. A few years ago Mr. Adams, who is man of very large build and originally of powerful voice. found that his speech was weakening. He immediately con suited q Laryngoseopist, who, after Urea ting him for some time, decided that Mir. Adams speech was being ruined by ammonia, the fumes of which fill the air in and around the factory during the manufacture of ice. Mir. Adams was warned that he would lose his speech if he did not cease work around the powerful fumes of that liquid.
 That was the main cause of MT. Adams leaving the ice company sev- eral months ago. While in Memphis recently. his voice suddenly left him and he was left speeches. and he could not speak, He returned to this city Thursday afternoon and is now with his family hele.
 Dr. scales believes that in course of few weeks MT. Adams voice will return to him. It is, indeed, an affiction of unusual occurrence and our people will be sorry to learn of that excellent gentleman's misfor- tune. He is an expert electrical en- gineer and has many friends in this and surrounding states. We hope that his voice will soon be fully re- stored 10 him.
