HELENA EXPECTS
 75,oOO BALES
Receipts Being much Retarded by
 Recent Rains.-51, 300 to Date.

Helena. Dec. 30.-The past several weeks of almost incessant rainfall have severely retarded the receipts of cotton in this city and held the general receipts back at least five or six thousand bales.
 The present condition of the roads leading in and out of the city is SO that 1t Is regarded practically impos- sibe for teams to make their way over them, therefore, the bulk of the cotton now being received in Helena is via railroads and steamboats.
 The years receipts for the season of i911.12 thus far will reach an az gfesate total of Fl 300 bales. which figures upwards of 5000 bales in excess of last year. the receipts for the corresponding month last year, according to the records of the Citi- zens Compress Company of this city, showing a total of 46,000 bales.
 Helena will receive this year prob ably 75, GOO bales This figure is the estimate of J. G. Knight. superin- tendent and general manager of the Helena Compress Company of this citN, who is probably one of the pest posted men along this line in The county.
 While the present weather is very much against the receipt of cotton, md We are not receiving over 800 oales per day, still I see no reason vhy Helena should not rece i've as much as 75,OO0 bales for the year." aid Manager Knight.

For the fourth time th,s wi,.o. ehe' weather man has sent ont warn lngs for cold wave that ia headed this way and is due to strike p,na hiu1f some time Sunday. ReporHs received at the office of the weather bureau in Little Rock Saturday morn. ing show that snow storms oro L. progress in Oklahoma and North Iexas and ahe temperature is fall. ing rapidly in the West The cold wave is coming from the .northwe.t and has already spreal southward as Tar as Abiline, Texas The cold area IS very extensive and coyers tba country from North Texas and Okla homa to Montana and Hhe Dakotas : With thermometer readings of oe de- grees below zero in Montana he. low in Nebraska, zero in Kansas 6 aooVe zero i'll the Texas Panhandle ana ls in Oklahoma.

 comparatively light west of Fort smith. The White river and the Ar Kansas south of Fort Smith will be gln to feel the effects of the heavy rains within the next 24 Or IS hours
 At this season of the year in or- der to verify cold wave warning the thermometer must drop 20 de- grees or more in 24 or 36 hours to a minimum temperature of a*0 degrees or lower. At a. m. yeaterdav inc thermometer on the roof of the southern Trust building in Little Rock stood at 42; some time within the next 24 or 36 hours it is expected 10 drop to 20, and perhaps a little lower. From present indications Jew Years Day promises to be clear and quite colo. The coming cold spell will probably be of short dura- ion.

SALVATION ARMY NOT M
 SURPRISED BY RUSSIA

New York, Dec. Commencing on dispatches from St. Petersburg to the effect that the council Of minis ters there has prohibited the Salva- tion Army from carrying on work in Russia, it was said at the army head quarters here today that this opposi- ton was nothing new, nor was il unexpected. The Russian govern ment has always been antagonistic te the work.
 Notwithstanding this, the army ha. carried on work in St. Petersburg by means of parlor meetings in tht homes of sympathizers. Of late there has been more freedom. Bu while these meetings have not beer prohibited, official sanction for gen. eral work has been denied.

PASTOR HONESTLY CHOSEN,
SAYS NEGRO ATTORNEY
Denies Charge That Ballot Box Was Stuffed" Ex
planning the Taylor Faction Fears Loss of Jobs
Under New Regime in CoIored Church

Speaking Of the Injunction suit which
was fled Friday by six members Of the
Vermont Avenue Baptist ChuDch. col
ored, against the installation of Rev.
James e. Willis asApastor OF the church,
Attorney Thomas L Jones, who, IN coll
Iaboration with the law firm Of Ralston
& Siddons. has been employed as attor-
ney for the defendant, declared last
night that Rev. Mr.. Willis was fairly
and honestly elected, on June 9, and
furthermore that the opposition arose
through the fear Of some Of the present
official members OF the church that they
would lose their Offices under a new
regime.
The cause OF the suit Is the election
of q successor to Rev. George Washing
ton Lee, former pastor Of the church.
who died about year ago. There were
two candidates for the position. Rev.
William A. Taylor and Rev. Willis.
At the recent election, Rev. willis
received a large majority vote, but the
Taylorites claim the ballot box was
''stuffed."
Fairly Elected Pastor.
REV. willis was fairly and honestly
elected pastor by a large majority
against his competitor" said Mr.. Jones.
'.and Mr.. winslow, the active supporter
of the Taylorites, and the other trustees
who Joined in the suit against the
church, well know. Their opposition to
DR.. Willis is due largely to the fact, In
