Many Inquiries

the benefit of the public in general L
wish to state here that astigmatism is
the result of an imperfect formation of
the refractive media of the eye, is conf

1t causes great strain to the eye and
produces sick headache, nervousness,
crosseyes, weak eyes, dizziness, sore
eyes, blinking, watery lids, frown-
ing, infiamed lids, pain in back
of head, granulated lids. The only
remedy for this eye strain is glasses
properly fitted to the eyes. If you have

Cotton.

New York, Feb. 29.-The cotton mar
ket now appears to rest upon the merits
of the situation. Speculation seems nearly
exhausted, and the future course of prices
ces is dependent for the most part upon
the development of the demand as related
to the visible supply. 1t is therefore
pertinent to present q few features of the
statistical situation.
On the basis of a crop this year of T.
$50 600, there is still to come forward
this season 1,350, 900 bales against l,6OO,>
900 last year. 1t seems hardly likely
We shall got as much as 100000.
In the light of the above figures, it is
evident that tho relative strength of the
foreign markets as compared with the
American markets is not without reason.
Europe has still a large portion of it's
supply to secure. America holds nearly
as much cotton as at this time last year.
During the past week, English spinaers
have commenced to increase their taking
in the Liverpool market. OF all the
American markets New York is relatively
the cheapest. Experts say the difference
AZ com pared with the Southern markets is
at least &c.
The result is that the stock here has
commenced TO move for export. A very
moderate delivery of not over s, 900 bales
has thus far been made on March con-
tracts Most of this has been taken for
export 1t is rumored that arrangements
have been privately made for the ship
ment of 25, 900 bales additional Liver.
pool arbitrageurs have been large buy ers
of contracts in this market against sales
abroad, the essence of which is trans
fer from America to Europe of the weight
of the local stock. The New York mar.
ket at the close today is about Is points
lower than a week ago, and at figures
identical, almost, with the lowest previ-
ousIy touched on February 18th. There
is, however, this difference: The previous
break was the result of the liquidation
of tired spectators. The ensuing recov-
cry has been lost, chiefly throug gh bear
sales for short account. they are
predcated chiefly on the theory that the
immensity of the next crop will carry
| cotton to basis of at least five cents q
pound. Whether action On this theory is
not at least premature remains to be seen.
The next crop is not yet planted. The
vicissitudes surrounding it, at least until
| its maturity in the autumn are proven
bal. Trade in this country shows an
almost constantly rising average. In Eu,
rope it is better than for years.
The cotton market yesterday opened
higher on unexpectedly favorable En- glsh
advices, notwithstanding the weakness
shown by the market yesterday. This
caused considerable alarm on the part
of local shorts. Some buying was done
on theory that present movement points
to less than Z, 7,O0O, 900 bales, but gloomy
reports from the dry goods market
checked confluence. The market closed

A Wife Murderer Gets Only Nine Years.

Washington, N. c., Feb. 29-Ths
case against Stephen Barrfeld for the
murder of bis wife, near Idalia, Beaufort
county, was concluded this morning
The trial began Tuesday morning and
was given to the jury Thursday after,
noon. After being out two days and
nights the jury failed to agree at 12 30
p. m.
This morning tho prisoner Stephen
Barrfeld was brought into court and
as the jury had failed to agree
ju ror was withdrawn and mistrial or
dered.
The prisoner submitted to plea Of
guilty of murder in the second degree,
and in passing sentence, the Judge said
THE court thinks that the jury well
might have convicted the prisoner fox
murder in the first degree. 1 regret
very much to take this course for think
you ought to have been hanged. You
have been tried for similar offense be-
fore and acquitted, when the consensus
of opinion was that you were guilty,
The sentence of the court is that you be-
imprisoned in the penitentiary at hard la.
bor for term Of nine years.
The jury on the first ballot stood ten
AOA SSH' AOH'OA eSAA WV AOE Ou
the second, seven for conviction and five
for acquittal.
This mistrial adds another to the list Of
murders that have been inadeuuatey
punished in Beauford county, and adds
another stain to justice. Good citizens
must stand aghast as they see their
neighbor waylaid and robbed; the wife OF
the home cruelty murdered and to do'
his hellish work after term of years in
the penitentiary. In this connection,
however, it must be said that Judge
Robinson has done all he could to get
the jury to agree and in accepting the
plea of murder in the second degree it wss
done 80 as to relieve the county the e1.
pense of another trial. Fhe sentancs OF
nine years in the penitentiary, in the
case of this prisoner, is virtually life
sentence, as be is now IS years Of
age.
The prisoner plead guilty to murder in
the second degree only and upon the
understanding that such would be bis
sentence. This saves an expense Of
many hundred dollars to try him again.
