ASKS FOR RECEIVER.
Annie E. Snow Institutes Suit In The Federal Court For Property Val
 ued at $5O,oOO,OOO

An application was made Thursday for the appointment of receiver in the United States Circuit Court of Galveston, Texas, for prop erty valued at $5o,OO0,oOO, located on Spindletop Heights, Beaumont, in which a number of Newport men are interested.
 The application was made by the plaintiff in the case, Annie B. Snow, against the Higgins Oil and Fuel Com pany ct al. The suit was originally instituted at Beaumont, and there are seventy-t two oil companies defendants in the case, service having been had on fifty-four. After brief arguments the case was postponed until Novem- Der II, when it will be heard at Sher- man, Tex. The court ordered service on the other companies.
 The plaintiff in her application for a receiver states that she has life in terest in an undivided eighteenth of 500 acres of land in Jefferson county. The land includes Spindletop Heights, and is estimated to be worth from S1 ,000 to S100,000 per acre.
 The plaintiff in her application set forth that the chief value of the land is it's oil producing qualities, and that oil is now being taken from the land very rapidly, and that she is entitled to receive the benefit of her interest in said land. Therefore she asks that receiver be appointed for said pro- perty pending the settlement of this suit

RESUMED WORK.

On Tuesday morning, work was re- sumed at the Southern Cotton Oil Mill in this city, the places of the strik- ing employees having been filled by laborers secured in Little Rock and Memphis, by MT. H. o. Douglass.
 As skilled labor is required in the mill, the walking out of number of employees, who refused to continue working,if charge were pulled down in less than every 15 minutes, the mill was forced to cease operation last week and not a wheel of the ma chinery turned for 8 days.
 The manager of the mill, MT. Farley Price, considered it an effort upon the part of the employees to dictate the affairs of the concern and promptly made arrangements to secure other men. About one hundred men are employed at the oil mill, and the low est wages paid are $1.15 day. The strike was not question of wages, but simply as to the amount of work to be required, and in that the wages paid were liberal, the company held that it had a right to exact more work of the men.

BREAKS THE RECORD.
The Little Rock Market Has a Red Letter Day.-Day's Receipts
 3,991 Bales.

The cotton men and board of trade men generally were pleasantly sur prised yesterday at the growth of inn portance of the Little Rock cotton market, as shown by the heavy re- ceipts-a record breaker-3,9 ,991 bales.
 The figures are the highest for a single day shown on the records of the board of trade. Twice, however, the record was broken previously this month, the first time with 3,366 bales on the 21st and the second time on the 25th with 3,377 bales.
 Previous to this month the record was held by October 13, 1900, when the receipts were 3,523. In December the same year the high figures were on the 10th at 3,077 bales In 1898, on the 9th of October, the receipts were 3,075, and until this month, as hereto fore stated, the 18th of that month held the record at 3,523 bales. These figures are entitled to thought ful consideration. They break records and make commercial history. They stamp Little Rock as a commercial city of commanding importance.-Ga- zette.

RECEIPTS AT BATESVILLE.

During the past week or ten days cotton has been coming in at pretty lively rate, and in consequence of this the merchants have enjoyed much better trade than was expected. But the bulk of the crop has been gather ed and put on the market, and it is now definitely known that the receipts at this place will not be more than half what they were last year. At Perrin's cotton yard last year at this date 1494 bales had been received against 929 bales at same date this year, and at Weaver's cotton yard s23 bales have been received this year against 1900 at same date last year. It will be observed that a shortage of HAP bales exists at the two yards, and the reports are that the bulk of the crop has been gathered and brought to market Batesville Guard.

MAY PROVE FATAL.
George Rice Dangerously Hurt In 9 Runaway Tuesday Morning. Fell From the Wagon Upon
 The Tongue.

On Tuesday morning about eleven o'clock, team of grays attached to one of the dray wagons of Jones Bros. driven by George Rice, became frightened in Morris Addition across the Iron Mountain railroad track and started running. The wagon was rather heavily loaded with household furniture, which was being moved.
 Rice, the driver, must not have had a secure position, as he fell forward upon the wagon tongue, where he lay between the running horses until a tree was struck, breaking the tongue and throwing a refrigerator from the wagon upon Rice, who had fallen to the ground.
 He was picked up in an unconscious condition and removed as speedily as possible to the office of Drs. L. E. x F. D. Willis, who spent several hours operating upon the unfortunate man, yet have little hope of his recovery He had received hard blow just above the forehead and the back part of his head was crushed. He is also thought to have received internal injuries.
 Rice has lived in Newport for | twelve years or more and was known as an industrious workman. He came here from Stoddard county, Missouri, where his relatives are supposed to live.
 The wagon, aside from broken tongue was not damaged, and the horses were not injured seriously, though one was somewhat skinned.

DISPUTE TESTERS FIGURES.

The Little Rock Board of Trade is standing up for Arkansas' in the face of the report of Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, recognized as authority on the cotton crop of the United States. When the annual report of MT. Hester came out giving Arkansas crop of only 762O0O bales it was at once repudiated by the local board and Secretary Geo. R. Brown at once wrote the New Orleans official of the alleged error, placing the crop at least 900,O ,O00 bales.
 In the interest of Arkansas, Secre- tary Brown has written MT. Hester a letter, proving that party to be in error, and showing the grounds of the error. The letter is of decided inter- est, and is approved by the local cot ton contingent to a man.-Little Rock Democrat.

DEAN ADAMS, A MODEL FARMER.

The Arkansas valley is the best place in the world for practical farm ing-the man who farms Take Dean Adams as an example. For several years past he was in town. Last year he moved down in the valley below the city. He took fifty acres. In February he planted it in potatoes, and in April be planted cotton be- tween the rows of potatoes. He sold the potatoes in bulk for $500, and today he is selling the cotton, forty five bales, for an equal sum. He realizes $3,S00 on fifty acres of land, two successful crops on the same ground in one year. There isn't a country on earth that will compare with grand old Arkansas-espec for the farmer who farms with his hands and not with his mouth. Dean Adams is farmer and not a politi- cian.-Arkansas Democrat.
