ker, Geyerman & Naftzger.

Erected by L. E. Highley for Drs. Wal
ker, Geyerman & Naftzger.
Last week L. E. Highley began the
excavation of the SO x GO feet Just
north of his store preparatory to the
erection of q modern stone building to
be known as the Medical Block which
he assures us is to be in keeping with
the substantial character of the i'm
provements that are continually being
made in our city.
This building, as the name indicates.
is to be occupied by medical people
only. Mr.. Highley having secured of
Drs. Walker, Geyerman & Nsftzger, q
lease for the entire block, covering q
period of several years, is enabled to
construct building especially fitted
for the business home Of this new med
ical firm, who will furnish and equip
it's reception room, offices and labora-
tories with every luxury and conven-
ience that money can buy.
The new members of the firm, DR.. p.
T. Geyerman and DR.. j. B. Naftzger
have been with US but q short time
but are already possessed of large
circle of friends and business asso.
ciates who predict for them the best of
success and who are pleased to know
that they have selected Hot Springs as
their future home.
These gentlemen have had many
years experience in the specialties
which they practice and come to US be-
cause Of their firm faith in the future
of this city as q health resort and hos.
pital center.
Each has had the advantage of spe-
cial training in this country and in
Europe and consequently are familiar
with the best known resorts at home
end abroad.
For this reason their presence among
Us is highly complimentary and is
added proof Of the justice of our claim
of being "The National Health Resort.
DR.. F. E. Walker, with whom they
have become associated under the firm
name of Walker, Geyerman g. Nsftzger
is too we'll and favorably known, both
as physician and surgeon, as we'll as
an enterprising and enthusiastic citi-
zen, to require any introduction at our

VERY HEAVY ACREAGE
REDUCTION LAST YEAR
Says Crop Prospects in Some Sections
Are Gloomy, But Not SO Bad as at
First Believed to Be-Rains Come
in Time.
Special to The NeDs.

Special to The Net1s.
Jackson, Miss, May 1S.-According !
to President G. H. Hightower, of the
Mississippi division of the Farmers
Union, the cotton acreage reduction
in this state, as compared with last
year, will not exceed two per cent.
This is the smallest estimate that
has yet been made by a crop expert.
President Hightower bases his figures
on information received at Farmers
Union headquarters in this city, and
personal observations during his trav-
els over the state.
at should be bourne in mind that
we had a very heavy acreage reduc-
/ ton last year, and, naturally, should
not expect a heavy decrease this
year." says President Hightower.
Crop prospects in some sections of
| the state are gloomy, but not so bad
as they have been reported in many
instances. l believe we are going to
have general rains over the state with
in the next few days, which will bring
about vast improvement.
1T will take a series of heavy rains
however, to bring out the cotton plant
ed shallow. or in cloddy ground. Prac-
tically all replanting work has been
finished, but the cold nights, and lack
of moisture, have retarded germna
ton
"The cotton crop, generally speak
ing, is about three weeks late. With
ordinarily favorable weather condl
tions during the summer, it is not toe
late to make a fair-sized crop. The
lateness of the season is the princi
pal drawback. Cotton chopping ough
to be in progress right now through
out the state, but l will venture thu
statement that not one per cent o
the crop has been chopped out
President Hightower's views ar
sustained by advices that have beel
received from several of the primo
} pal cotton centers within the pas
Y forty-eight hours.
/. Heavy rains fell at number c
points last night, breaking tn
drouth that has prevailed for perio
Il of nearly three weeks. 1t is feare
t that the breaking of the drouth, hov
y ever, may be followed by excessiv
d rains, as Mississippi's rainfall recor
p for the first four months of the Gu
2 rent year shows deficit of ten inc
e es, as compared with the SS-year a
!erage.

MISSISSIPPI firm
HEAVILY INVOLVED
Receiver Directs Proceedings Against
New York Houses to Whom He Al
Ieges Fraudulent Preferential Pay
ments Have Been Made.

New York, May 1S.-A receivers
complaint filed in the federal court,
in New York yesterday sets forth
what purports to be details of one of
the recent so-called cotton bills of
lading frauds through which firms in |
this country and abroad are said to |
have lost millions. In this instance
alone the receiver estimates that cot
ton operators in the United States,
Germany, France, Spain and Russia
will be out from S1,OOO,OOO to s1,5O0,-
00e. The defunct firm involved is
Steele, Miller & Company, of Corinth,
Miss, thrown into involuntary bank
ruptcy on May 9Th last j. A. E. Pyle
was appointed receiver, and he now
directs proceedings againstStephen NJ.
Weld & Co., cotton brokers of this
city, and the New York Dock Compa-
ny, to whom he alleges preferential
payments have been made.
On the strength of these allegations
Judge Hazel, in the United States dis
trict court. granted injunctions re-
straining the defendants from dispos-
ing of cotton, notes, stocks and bonds
in their possession and claimed by the
receivers for the benefit of all of the
creditors of Steele, Miller & Co.
In his complaint, Receiver Pyle,
among other things, states that for
a few weeksSpffor to the filing of the
petition in bankruptcy the firm OF
Steele, Miller & Co. procured by farud
ulent and bogus bills of lading a vast
sum of money from creditors in Ger
many, France, Russia and also in the
city of New York. The exact amount
of the bales of cotton and the exact
number of dollars represented cannot
at this time be accurately ascertained
but your complainant states that the
money procured in this city will be
something between S1,000,0O0 and 81,
100000.
1t is further alleged that this vas
sum of money was never represented
by any cotton, NOR was there any at
tempt on the part of Steele, Miller &
Co. to ship the cotton"
Continuing, the receiver describe
how Weld & Co. are alleged to hav
= received preferential payment of note
and accounts valued at more tina
100000. In addition, alleges that tn
defendants obtained a great quantit
in the possession of the New Yor
Docking Company, while other cotto
he charges is enroute to New York.
