COTTON SOARING

Little Rock, Nov. 7.-Evident- ly expecting spot cotton to soar, the plant CTS of this section have been rushing their cotton to Lit tie Rock and yesterday the street for several blocks about the Board of Trade building was blockaded with bales of cotton which had been dumped into the street after being sold to the cotton buyers. Over 1000 bales of cotton came to Little Rock yesterday by wagon. and all to- day the stream of heavily loaded wagons continue to come from the plantations. With cotton moving at it's present rate, and the weather remaining good, there will be little left in the fields of this section in another ten days.

CONSTITUTIONAL
 CONVENTION
Next Summer. Dis. ..~,4 .llis ment of the Negro An
 Important Feature.

Little Rock, Nov. 7,-Among the important measures to come before the next General Assem- bly'and the one which is sure of passing is an act calling a consti- tutional convention to be held in Little Rock next summer. Prom inent members of the next legis- lature have offered to take this matter up and frame the bull calling the convention. Repub- 'licans as we'll as Democrats are anxious to see the convention held, though it is practically cer- tain one of the provisions to 6e discussed, and probably passed, is the disfranchisement of the negro. In speaking of this pos sibility yesterday, Capt. r. w. Tucker, Chairman of the State Republican central committee, stated that he would prefer to see the negro disfranchised and not allowed to vote at all than to have the privilege of voting and have his vote counted as it is vo- ted. Many other matters will be taken up at the constitutional convention. which is favored by the Arkansas Bar Association and many other organizations, but the proposition to disfran- chise the negro.

railroad companies in ignoring the prohibitory order of the com- mission, as it appears they are doing, will certainly result in prosecution by the commission for such violation of it's orders.
 The letter is to C. H. Ivers, manager of the Fort Smith Traf- fife Bureau, and covers many points upon which regular ava lanche of inquiry is now reaching the Railroad Commission. Ship pers are wanting to know a thousand and one things about the rate situation, but mainly what action the commission has definitely taken and their reasons therefore. The commission tells them, in short. that the new rates have been prohibited and that if shippers will forward ex- pense bills to the commission, showing the application of the new rates, that prosecution will immediately be ordered in the district from which uch com- pIaiEt comes.
