KING COON CATCHES.
sketch of the Champion Postum
Hunting Darky.

Near Bartlett, Tenn, twelve miles
from this city, resides q darky known
as King Williamson, who is recognized
as liking" among 'possum and coon
hunters. He is tall, very dark COM
plected, with a local reputation for the
length of his grins and pedal ex-
tremities. King is a farmer, working
on shares, and his cotton-patch com
pares favorably with that of any of his
neighbors. His days are spent in the
field and his nights in the forest
three hundred and siEty-6ve days and
nights in the year--and he is always
happy when leap year rolls around.
As regularly as darkness falls, he
can be seen striding down the railroad
track, with a look of eager expectation
on his face and a pack of six hounds
following closely at his heels. The
leader is an old black dog, grown gray
in the chase, and about whose sham
bling form an odor Of the last 'possum
hunt still fingers. The other dogs are
all trusty and well trained.
Besides his habitual grin, King
always carries an old fowling piece, an
ak, a blanket, a horn, and some
matches. Upon reaching his hunting
ground, he spreads his blanket under
some monarch of the forest, kindles a
FIRE and sends his dogs out on the
business Of the night. They are hard
ly gone when he is fast asleep and
dreaming of 'possum and potatoes.
The water which runs from his mouth
at this time is stated upon unreliable
authority to be equal to the supply
furnished by the Water Company.
The first glad bark Of old Black cleo
tri6es the dreamer, who is on his feet
in an instant, ak in hand and ready
for action. Some rare fun is wit
messed when his "'possumship" or
"coOnship, "as the case may be, engages
the eager hounds in tooth and toe nail
controversy.
The ball over, Mr.. 'Possum's tail is
fastened in the split end of a stick,
the hunter moves his camp, falls
asleep again and waits until his dogs
tree another varmint. 1t is rare that
less than four are captured in one
night, and often double the number
are borne triumphantly through the
town at daylight next morning.

Accident.

ANOA4OMGe
Early this morning, while a one-
horse wagon, driven by a little boy IL
years old, was crossing Poplar street,
intersection OF Carroll avenue,
it was run into by street car No. 81.
A hind wheel of the wagon was
crushed by the collision, and the
horse becoming badly frightened,
dashed down Carroll avenue at a
bIeakneck gait, struck an obstruction
and pitched the boy out. A few
bruises were sustained. Those who
saw the accident, say it was due en-
tirely to the recklessness Of the car
driver.

Cotton.

The cotton market opened to-day
with q quiet feeling and fair demand.
A feature Of Importance to the cotton
trade is the superior quality Of the
new crop. 1t is coming to market
clean and white, free from dirt and
leaf, while its dry condition causes
the ginning to be straight and free
from maps. The staple, too, is good,
not quite SO strong, perhaps, as last
seasons crop. but yet above the
average. Another item is the recep.
ton of middling fair cotton, a grade
which until Thursday last has been
omitted from our quotations for nearly
a year. Sales in this market on Sat.
urday we're 100 bales, so being to
spinners and 80 to spectators, with
the feeling less active than any day
OF tho week. Prices here exhibit an
advance Of 4c on the lower qualities
and c on low middling and middling.
In Liverpool prices are Id higher
than o week ago, and in New Orleans
10 higher. Liverpool prices are above
anything quoted for II months past on
uplands, and since September last on
Orleans. Total sales here for the
week sum up 24O0 bales, Of which
1850 bales we're 10 spinners and 80 to
spectators. A considerable specu.
latiye feeling has prevailed for low
cotton, in anticipation of its early
scarcity, the prospects favOring a
generally high grading of this seasons
yield. Quotations here to-day are as
follows; Low Ordinary, 75c; ordinary,
8to; good ordinary, 93c; low middling,
llc; middling, l1bc; good middling,
12te; middliDg fair, 1890.
Receipts of cotton at all United
States ports since the LIST inst. sum up
99,481 bales, an excess over last year
of24S9 bales and wei the year before
Of 1902 bales. Total foreign exports
have been $500 bales, against 60,O92
and 25,085 the two previous years.
Stock at all ports sum up 248,2Ol
bales, against 1894 last year and
6l,229 the year before.

quite surprised at the number and

They had heard something of it, but

At a signal from the acting King to
the head butler, all we're seated around
the board, and the feast proceeded
without unnecessary Formally. Many
courses were served, many rare viands
sampled and discussed. The peculiar
dishes Of various nations we're served,
each so as to make the representative
of that country feel at home. and the
red and purple yintages from a r old
cellars, castles and cloisters, increased
the good cheer. After a two hours
sitting, includinga royal smoke, the
Prime Minister announced that the
