Public Works Committee of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade Held Important Meeting This Morning.
TO SUBMIT A REPORT
City Engineer l'arhr> Presents Esti. mate. of Proposed Nork--No Ac- ton on Free Ferry Details oi gm- prOyements Planned.

The Public Works Committee of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade held meet ing this morning at 10 o'clock. and at this meeting City Engineer w. J. Parkes submitted a plan for the con struction of the proposed wharf, and estimated the cost of the boat landing as per the plans. at somewhere be- tween $4,000 and 5000 The wharf at this cost will be 35o feet long, and 75 feet wide, as the Arkansas River Packet Company thinks that it will require one this large to handle their business here.
 This report will be submitted to the directors at their meeting this after noon. The meeting this afternoon is an adjourned meeting of last Monday afternoon for the purpose of dispos- ing of the wharf and free ferry ques- tions. Just what action the Board of Trade directors will take on this ques- tion is not known yet, but it is gener- ally believed that they will recommend the construction of this wharf
 The Arkansas River Packet COmpa- ny have offered to pay half of the cost of construction, or possibly more, and it is now up to the city and coun ty authorities to decide whtther or not they will pay this $2,000 for the wharf. The cost, as estimated by Engi- neer w. J. Parkes, includes the paving of the wharf, and many other neces- sary items, though small. The req son that the packet company wants a wharf so much longer than the pres ent one is that now only one boat can be loaded or unloaded at a time, and as they expect to have more boats on the river in the future, it is very prob- able that several occasions will arise when two or three boats must be load ed Or unloaded, as the case may be, at one time.
 If it is decided to have this wharf built, the work on it will start as soon as possible, as they want to have it completed before the time comes for shipping cotton. No action was taken on the free ferry.

 TELEGRAPHERS OUT Two Quit the Service Here
 Today Walking Out of the Western Union Office This Morning.
TIE UP IS COMPLETE
Local Long Distance Telephone Com. pany Doing Big BusinesS-DOuble Force of Lady Operators to Be Pressed Into Service.

The situation in regard to the tele graphers strike continues to grow more grave, and today two operators walked out of the local Western Union office. At the local Postal Telegraph Company's office none of the operators have quit, but they are doing nothing in this city for practically all their lines are out of use to other points. Messages are taken only with .he un- derstanding that no promise is made as to what time they will be delivered The Western Union office has been try ing to secure operators all day, and now the messages on file which they have ready to send is large one, and it will be almost impossible to send them all.
 All the operators in the Postal of fees in New York City vert out promptly at } o'clock this afternoon and all communication with that place is at an end as far as the Postal is concerned A large number cf oth- CT places are cut off from the outside world. There are only few lines that will work and they are worked all the time.
 This is thought to be all the oper- ators that will quit here, though it would be just as bad for tLis place f communication over the wires were lost, as the operators would have nothing to do The business at the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele- phone Compary's office in this city Saturday was the heaviest in a long time, and the operators were kept busy the entire day. All the work that they had time to do was On hand. On Sunday the amount os work done was of course lighter, out it was con- siderablv more than is usually done on Sundays.
 The local telephone office has re- ceived instructions to put double force on the long distance telephone lines as soon as the work begins to become too heavy for the number low at work. This order was received Saturday night, but the regular force has been able to attend to the work SD for, and only the usual number are at work today. It is thought, however that the force will be increased to- night or tomorrow, or at least as soon as the work becomes too heavy for the single crew to perform.

THE SPEECHES
 AT STAR CITY
w. T. Young Declared That Nixon Played Poker as Late Day as
 May , on the Steamer Brown.

The candidates for prosecuting at torney spoke here in the schoolhouse after preaching Tuesday night, says the Star City (Lincoln county) Ledger Quite a crowd of ladies were presnt and the ball waxed rather warm in the late hours of the night. A new feature was injected into the regular order when w. T. Young said that Mr. Nixon had as late as the 5th of last May engaged in a poker game on the steamer Brown between Pine Bluff and Little Rock This came pretty hard as MT. Nixon had stated in his opening remarks that he had not gam bled in three years, and he answered by saying that MT. Young was hypo- crite and that both he (Young) and Jones had brought whiskey in the county in their buggies. All three Of the candidate will get some votes in Mill Creek.

STATE GUARD
 DID NOT MEET
Captain Pinney Wanted Quo WarrantO Proceedings to Dust John E. Mar. tineau, the Assistant Adiutant
 of State Guard.

The meeting of the Comittee of of the officers of the State Guard, wn;ci, Captain w. B. Pinney called for yes terday in Little Rock, since he Is chairman of the committee, was not held owing to a misunderstanding with Captain R. B. Heating, who, it seems, did not know he was niem- Der of the committee and was not ln the city. Captain sPinney said this morning that the purpose of the pro- posed meeting was to bring quo W.T. ranto proceedings against J. E. Ma tineau for the office of assistant ad- jutant general of the Arkans IS State Guard, for his appointment to that office was held to be illegal by At ,ssrSqy General Kirby recently
 It will not be attempted to hold an other meeting, but the matter will 3e taken up directly with the officers of the Guard, and it will probably be set tied in that way in short tinH.

REPORT ON
 COTTON FROM TEXAS
Irregular Conditions of Crop Obtain in All Parts of the SOuth-DrOuth Hurts Staple in Mississippi
 Valley.

Memphis, Aug. 12-1c-egularity is the most notable characteristic of re- ports for last week. This is due to the lack of rainfall in many sections of the belt, for wherever the supply of moisture has been sufficient the re- ports are the most glowing of the sea- son.
 The Eastern states, with the excep- tion of the coast section of Georgia and the Carolinas and southern Ala bama, are in good condition and the plant has made good progres.
 In the states of the central cotton belt, or those immediately adjacent to the Mississippi river, the crop is in need of a general rain. The plant is we'll fruited and small.
 Oklahoma and the northern belt of Texas furnish good reports. The sup ply of moisture has been sufficient up to the present
 From central and western Texas come the worst reports. The need of moisture has become acute, and the plant is suffering badly from shedding, while premature opening Of bolls is complained Of Reports from south western Texas indicate a very short crop as result of the long continued drouth.
 Indications are that picking in near ly all sections of the belt will become general two weeks or more later than last year.

RAILROAD IS
 4 CERTAINTY Money Has Been Secured for the Construction of the Pine Bluff North and South Railroad.
ONLY A LITTLE DELAY
Free Bridge Will Be Toil Bridge aad Railroad Will Be Extended to ShrevepOrt-Everything Being Ar. ranged for Construction Work.

From reliable and trustworthy sources this paper has learned that the construction of the Pine Bluff North & South Railroad has been somewhat delayed on account of some doubt existing as to the legality oi the action of the county court ip Joining the railroad company in con- Ntructing free highway bridge in connection with railroad brilge across the Arkansas River at Pine Bluff.
 We are also informed that the mon- ey has been secured to complete th,s Important enterprise and that active operation has been delayed simply be- cause of the technicality above refer red to.
 We are advised that the delay, as above, will not defeat the company in accomplishing it's purpose The peo pie behind this proposition in Pine Bluff, as we'll as the capitalists in 'the\ East, have so much faith in the fEancial success of the enterprise when completed that they will not ondy build the road as promised, but will also construct the bridge. It will not, however, be a free bridge, but must of necessity be a toll bridge.
 The company will, in the near fu- Errv. ask the county court for author ity to construct toll bridge in con- { nection with it's railroad bridge.
 This new phase of the situation will require some readjustment in plans and will necessitate obtaining the con- sent of all parties concerned.
 If Pine Bluff and vicinity will stand by the railroad company, as we have no doubt they will, and give it their loyal support, we will see the road ard bridge completed and a line to Shreveport on the south in the near future.
