FIRST TO RESPOND.
Birmingham Offered the First Volunteer in Response to the Call of King
 George-Only IS Years Old.

Peter Pantaze Is a Birmingham lad only IS years of age, yet he bears the proud distinction of being the first vol unteer to respond to the call of King X George, of Greece, when arms were taken up against the Turks.
 Peter is a brother of Charles Pantaze, who is the clever proprietor of the fruit store in the Florence block on Nineteenth street. When the call was made Peter was engaged as fireman on the Birming ham Railway and Electric company's . Birmingham and Bessemer line. He at once gave up his position and bidding his brother and friends good bye started for New York. When he left here he had only enough money to leach New York, thinking the Greek consul would furnish him transportation from that city to Greece. In this he was mistaken, and failing to obtain the necessary funds to continue his journey, disheartened he turned toward Birmingham and after series of adventures reached here. He is still bent on going to the front and is only awaiting funds ere he will again set out for the front.
 Peter is a very interesting young fel- low and has lived in this city seven years and during his stay has made many friends by his straightforwardness and courtesy. He would no doubt make a valient soldier as he is full of fire and enthusiasm.

edy men. and women who keep them selves Tea sonably well informed in the worH' s, progress, refuse to be martyrs to Fssuch wsllnnderstood trouble as sleeplcss- eness, rheumatism, neuralgia or kidney diseases. Paine's celery compound is used with perfect assurance in those households where only an intelligent, au- thentie remedy can get any considera- tion. [! As a spring remedy nothing com- pares with 1t.
 , As physicians are ali the time saying: The pain over the kidneys, headaches and the misery of nervous debility should be met by Paine's celery compound. It's invigorating action is at once felt by the irritated. orn-out nerves and brain It makes new blood It brings fresh strength, and vigor to tired, worn-out men, weary women and to sickly child ren. For those diseases which are the result of weakened nerves, such as dys- pepsia, headache, neuralgia and heart disease, Paines celery compound is the only, logical, permanent cure. It feels the wasted nerve tissues and regulates their action It tones up the entire di- gestivA tract and encourages the body to take on flesh and to increase the vol tune of pure blood in the arteries and veins.

Cotton Letter

''HtN0n b6rbe5 -
 New York May S.-(pecial "A statisucaf position strong as to furnish cenvinc- ing argument in favor of high prices to bulls and bears alike and the promise, very distant it is true, but almost implicitly be- leVed by the cotton trade of the world of the production of a crop the like of Which has never been sesn are the opposing forces in the cotton market at present. HTnust be forgotten in weighing these factors that one of them is an existing condition, while all the contingencies of the season are "a gaihst the raising of a monster crop. Today the market showed more life and the week closes with the loss made in the early part of 1t substantially recovered. Liverpool advanced 212-64 this morning. Our market opened a little higher, August selling on the first call at 7.43. The chronicle report op the progress of the crop was rather favora- ble, but in spite of this the buyers outnuniA bered the sellers and the market steadily i'm proved all day. August advanced to 7.49 and closed at 7.48 to 7.49, with the tone of the market steady. The bureau report to be Issued on Monday will deal with the propor- ton of the crop planted up to the first Of May. It will probably have little effect on the market either way. The strength of the statistical position is so pronounced as to almost entirely eliminate the probability of any considerable short interest being created in the summer months and prices for them will probably closely affect tfre shifting aspect of the daily short demand. The short interest in the late months, how ever, is very large and the first note of alarm about the growing crop wuld, we think undoubtedly be the signal for a rapid rise in the price of cotton. At the moment all the southern advices indicate the .preva- fence of satisfactory conditions @ Until there is positive sign of a refusal of consumes to continue to take actual cotton, we see no cause to modify our expectations of still higher prices. s .s < 2 s
