StaGe Capital Notes
Cotton Stock is Worth 2,s27,472.

The cotton stock in Little Rock Thursday amounted to 52,456 bales, against 17,0S0 bales the same date year ago. In a money way the bales were worth on a 500pound basis at the spot price of 7-S cents the sum of $2,327 ,47272. Only once before in the history of the Little Rock cotton market has a greater number of bales been in stock on given day. That day was December 27, 1901, when the stock amounted to 4,639 bales. on that date the spot price of cotton was [ 11-16 cents per pound, mlddllng. From a money standpoint Thursday surpassed the record.
 The 1901-02 season has been refer red to as the "big-crop" year. The commercial crop of the state for that season was S20.000 bales and the total receipts for Little Rock in that season were 231, ,177, which was the record of the market to that day and age. The state produced 100000 bales the next year, but the increase in the mar ket at Little Rock only amounted to about 35,000 bales over the preceding year.
 If cotton keeps coming to Little Rock in the proportion in which it is arriving now, the daily receipts aver aging around 2,500 bales, all records for the market will be smashed. The receipts Thursday were 2,9S9 bales, against 590 bales year ago, making a grand total of 121 ,9S3 bales, against 45,152 bales last year.
 Cotton men have remarked favor ably on the way the congresses are handling the cotton. It is stated that compress men, buyers and railroads are working to the end that cotton may be handled quickly and carefully. The congresses are running night has been threatened at times block ade worthy the name has been avoided thus far and with conditions favorable one will not occur.
 It is said there is not another cot ton market in the South, the size Of Little Rock, that is handling the crop to better advantage.

Missing Man in Hospital.

Iva C. Meyers, son of C. C. Meyers of Garnett, who had been missing since October l, when he left his home to attend the Arkansas State Fair at Hot Springs, did not meet with foul play, as was suspected For the last few weeks he had been held at the Pulaski county hospital as an insane patient and was discharged from that institution last Monday as cured.
 He was first found on the Rock Island bridge over the Arkansas river at Little Rock and his strange ac-. tions caused him to be taken in custody as an insane person. He was placed in the county hospital and for several days was decidedly off his mental balance it was stated at the hospital, and incoherent in his speech. He was possessed of several .halluci- nations, one of which was the idea that he was a physical giant. He grew better after a few days. His father accompanied him from the hOSDital

S20,ooo Worth of Cotton Burned.

The MiXon-McClinton Mercantile Company's warehouse, containing about 400 bales of cotton, was burned at Marianna Sunday, entailing a loss of about S20.000 on cotton destroyed and $600O on the building. both of which are covered by insurance.
 All the cotton was received in Mari anna Friday and Saturday from wag- ons and stored ill the warehouse by the merchants purchasing it. It is SUD- posed that one of the bales was latent ly burning when placed in the ware house. the fire not being detected at the time The theory is that the bale was set on fire from sparks falling from the pipe of the farmer while. he was hauling his cotton to town. The fire was discovered at : o'clock Sun. day morning and it was late in the afternoon before it was under control. Only 10 bales were taken from the warehouse during the progress of the fire

a statement made by Bishopvile cor
respondent.
The Bshopville team seemed TO think
that they were to be allowed two Of the
best players on the Dagsboro team and
one from New York. and that Shovel
was to play an all home team. The
Showell manager had fair understand
ing when the game was arranged for
that Bishopville was to use only home
players. When the visitors arrived
they insisted on putting in outside play
ers and did not want TO allow Shovel
even one outsider. and positively re-
fused to play if they could not have
everything as they wanted il. conse-
quently our club did not play. and they
played picked nine.
Mr.. Charles Hudson. the pitcher of

in the county, but we are not afraid to
