HELENA,S HEAVY
 COTTON RECEIPTS.

Helena, Dec 29.-In spite of the unsuitable weather for cotton gather ing, hauling and ginning, the receipts at this market continue to be record breakers. At the first of the cotton season it was thought by the cotton kings that the best part of the crop would be out by the first of the new year, but it has developed that in many parts of the country nearly half, or at least third, of the crop is yet to be picked. It is remarkable the amount of cotton that remains ill the boil after the heavy rains that visited this section The second growth of the staple was far beyond the expec- tation of the predictors. Some of the cotton fields in western Mississippi look as though it had never been picked this season, though in some places it has been twice picked.

Louis Smith, negro boy living near Auvergne, while attempting to board moving freight train that was switching in the local Choctaw yards, slipped and fell about three o'clock Monday afternoon.

 The negro was doing very well Tuesday morning, but the injuries may yet cost him his life.

MORNING STAR
 COMPANIES INTENTION.

When questioned about the Morn- ing Star line by reporter, Edwin Chadick, known as the father of the Choctaw, said:
 "Oh, I have nothing to do with that. I made survey of that line for some English parties. made a re- port of it. Col Shalenberger made the survey for me and we located per cent grade from Newport to Yell vile. If built, that road will traverse country rich in zinc, marble and tim Der. never saw finer white oak than along that line. The marble appears to be in inexhaustive quantities. There is fine quarry of gray marble, and l think there is whole mountain of it..
 "That line will always be an inde- pendent one. It will never become a part of any great system, for the reason that the parties for whom we made the survey are largely interested in the zinc fields. English zinc is get ing scarce and the question of getting American mineral to England at the lowest cost is. one that is attracting a great deal of attention now. The heaviest purchases, of course, will be made from those mines the product of which can be delivered cheapest"
 The intention of the promoters of the Morning Star road is to build a line long enough to bring the product of the richest mines of North Arkan- sas to Newport, and there connect with barge line, which Will be run in connection with line of steamers plying between New Orleans and Eu- rope.
