NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Gloomy Prospect.

In letter sent to eastern and for eign correspondents, $. c. Alexan- der X Co.,, prominent cotton factors of Helena, who operate in Arkansas and Louisiana, forecast most gloomy outlook for present years crop prospects. A synopsis of their letter follows: The cotton season here is practically closed, and the crop has practically passed out of farmers hands. Less cotton Is on plantations and at railway stations than we have ever known before at this time of the year. The stock in Pine Bluff Is about the same as last year at similar period, 17,000 bales. Less than 1000 of this is in the hands of factory. The remainder is owned by buyers and most of it sold and awaiting shipment. The situa- tion is becoming alarming to those pinnlng faith to 10,500,000 crop. At this time last year money was plentiful, cotton $45 to $50 per bale, credit cheap and merchants ready and anxious to furnish all who de- sired to make a cotton crop. Today the reverse is true. At the court house door the scene is now a com mon one where farmers are closed out and mules sold at $35 to $100 tc satisfy mortgages given last January to make the present crop. Short crops and low-priced cotton are hay ing their effect, and the outlook k not fattering. Everything in tht | provision line is high, and it will bc exceedingly hard for those who have to rent land to get supplies. Thit will affect the acreage, and unless
 something unforeseen happens ther' I will be a material reduction.

PRIMARIES

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, July 28.-Arrangements
have been made in the eight congress
sianal districts of Mississippi for the
primary elections which will take
place next moth.
The district committees have not
adopted plan of uniformity in MANI
ing dates for the primaries, although
the letter of the new law has been
carried out In every instance. The
first primaries will take place on
dates ranging from the goth to the
30th of August, and where a second
primary is necessary in order to Sc
cure nomination it will occur at a
time three weeks from the first pri-
mares. Second primaries, are not
likely, however, in but two districts.
The county boards of election COM
missioners have finished the work of
revising the registration and poll
books for the election, and within the
next ten days the county executive
committees will meet and appoint
the election managers, clerks and
baillffs who will conduct the prima-
ries, and establish a pro rata of the
expenses, which must be borne by
each candidate.
1t is probable that Hon. Adam
Byrd, the only candidate in the fifth
district, Will have republican oppo-
nent at the election In Novem-
Der. Arrangements are now being
made for the reorganization of the
congressional executive committee
in that district, but this is the only
district where opposition is expected.
The populists have made no effort
whatever to reorganize their party
machinery under the new law, and
the party in Mississippi is dead be-
You'd all hope of resurrection, the
members having drifted back into
the ranks of the democracy.

Jackson, July 27.-There Will be no
extra session of the legislature to re-

state insurance laws, and the prob

must be settled by some other meth
cd. The movement In progress to
work up sentiment in favor of an ex-
ira session and induce the governor
to convene the bodyhas not met with
the encouragement expected, and
some members of the legislature have
declared open opposition to the
scheme, while many others manifest
very cautious reluctance in ventur-
ing an opinion on the subject in re-
spense to the query being sent cut
Gov. Longino has heretofore stated
that he does not propose to respond
to the demand unless it becomes 9
general one, and there is little hope
of securing the desired awakening
from the apathy now being mani.
tested.
