HEAVY COTTON RECEIPTS.


 The cotton receipts of Little Rock for the first eleven months of the year indicate that the crop is much larger than last years, and this is further emphasized by the reports which come from all parts of the State of in- creased receipts. The receipts to date, this year, have been Al, ,234 bales, compared with 135,897 for the entire twelve months of the preceding year. Another evidence of commer- cial advancement in Little Rock is the fact that the nk clearings for the last eleven months were $4S, ,855,- 754, while they were only $34, sos, ,283 for all of last year, $27 ,223, ,44O for 1900 and Sl7 ,631 ,462 for 1898.

LEWIS MORRISON IN FAUST.

Lewis Morrison, an actor of world wide reputation, who has achieved this distinction in the finest exposition of Mephisto, the stage has ever shown, was greeted by very shall house Tuesday evening at the local theater The show probably promised more than any attraction for several seasons in the way of something high-cla and Newport people by their failure to patronize such an entertainment, haven't anything coming to their lot on the score of deserving good attrac- tions. It rather seems they have been the recipients of more than their deserts.
 Nothing but compliment can be said of Lewis Morrison, but he surely knows the art of impersonation better in himself than others, that is, if he had anything to do in the selection of his company, who while what might be called very lame "fair," were not fit travelling companions of so great an actor.

THE RAILROAD SYSTEM
 OF THE UNITED STATES.

The special Transportation number of the Scientific American, bearing date of December 13, contains an article which shows up very impress lively the colossal proportions of the railroad system of the United States. The following extracts are of particu- lar interest:
 "If one were called upon to name the field of engineering in which the vast scale upon which things are done in this country is most strikingly shown, he would be safe in pointing to tho colossal railroad system of the United States. In respect of the total length of track, the total number of locomotives and cars, the veritable army of employees, and the gross value of capital invested, our railway sys- tenn is so huge that it stands absolute ly in class by itself among the rail- road systems of the world It is equally true that in respect to the character of it's track, rolling stock, general equipment, and methods of operation, it is marked by national characteristics which distinguish it far more sharply from the great European and Asiatic roads, than they are dis tinguisheG from each other.
 ''When we remember that there are i'll the United States to-day nearly 100000 miles of railroad track, or about 50,000 miles more than there are in the five other great railroad sys- tems of the world combined, namely, Germany, France, Russia, Great Brit ain and British India, it is difficult to realize that at the date of the founda tion of the Scientific American in 1845, there was less than 5000 miles of track in this country, and that this was made up of few short, disconnected and scattered lines in the Atlantic and Southern States, and some unrelated systems in the Middle States.

NUMBER 204
FAVORs DIsPENsARY LAW.

Augusta, Dec. IS. Prof 0. L. Duna way, principal of the Augusta city schools and one of the representative teachers of eastern Arkansas, is an earnest advocate of Senator Collins dispensary bill. He estimates from the reports of profits in states having dispensaries, that if onehalf of the profits from dispensary sales in this state be given the schools, it will dou ble the fund we now have. He also sees better school buildings, better paid teachers, without additional taxes. He sees also in the measure the preservation to the people of local option, by which they can vote out the dispensary.

BAFFLED THE FOOTPADs.

The hold-up, which was reported to have occurred Saturday night, but of which the marshal and sheriff had received no notice Monday and was discounted for this reason, did occur, says Lee Bauguess, who visited the INDEPENDENT office "Wednesday and gives the following version of the affair.
 He boards at Henry Kath's and was returning home about dark Saturday evening, when at the cotton yard of the Wolff Goldman Mercantile Com pany he was accosted by a fellow, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, with dark mustache, who pretcnded to have crippled hand and asked for help.
 Just then a smaller man, about five feet in height and shabbily dressed, jumped from the darkness at Bau- guess throat, but the latter landed on his forehead and knocked him down. Seeing what good account of himself Bauguess was able to give, the foot pads lost no time in getting away.

BUTTON FACTORY
 FOR LITTLE ROCK

Another enterprise is on the tapis to be established in Little Rock, and tests and the search for material to be used in the output of the factory were begun Tuesday says the Democrat.
 K. B. Becker of the Standard Button Works of Erie, Pa, accompanied by Frank Vandeventer and John w. Wal lace, button cutters and experts in the shell business, are in the city, and will make trip on the Arkansas riv- CT in search of mussel shells, which, if found in quantities sufficiently large, will mean the establishment of a branch factory in Little Rock. The Standard Button Works formerly con- ducted branch at Muscatine, Iowa, but this has been discontinued, and in searching around for another site Mir. Becker has hit upon this city. He says the factory which is likely to be opened here will be fifty saw plant, and will employ fifty five men. There are already three button factories in Arkansas, located at Newport, De- Val's Bluff and Black Rock, and they are all of about the same capacity as the institution contemplated for Little Rock.

 "Jones will likely get the place. This information was practically given to a Texas delegation that called on the president. Henry c. Hester of New Orleans is also a strong appli- cant.
