New York Cotton Market.

New York, Aug. 16-After opening Steauy at4 an advance of 3 points on August on covering and a decline of 1@3 points under disappointing cables and generally glowing crop accounts, the market subsequently, rallied on an effort of local parties to start Q round-up of the shorts on the theory that the market has over-discounted the crop outlook with a critical peroid ahead. The shorts failed to take fright, however, and prices returned to about the lowest leYei. Later there was another rally of 26 points, the shorts refraining from selling further and the bulls renewing their efforts to stimulate covering, being helped by the weekly government crop account, which re- ceiyed a bullish interpretation. The mar ket was finally steady at net advance or .2G4 points.
 Buying was checked by indications of larger receipts of new cotton

The Missing Papers.
Ia TRUE STORY or THE WAR. I


Three days after my husbands
departure, Gen. B. came storming
up the Mississippi on one of his old
gun boats He landed and marched
his men TO the Custom House, plant
ed his flag, and demanded the KEYS
to the vault. No one could tell him
anything concerning them. On
learning Louis name and address.
they came TO the house. Children,
when j saw those soldiers troopng
up the walk and thrcnging the house,
| tell you was frightened, however,
when the officer questioned me | had
my wits about me, and refrained from
giving him any satisfaction. After
ransackIng the house they departed,
leaving me prey to horrible fears.
Now children, this was during the
civil war when New Orleans fell.
After it was over, an advertisement
appeared to this effect: eff the
keys and papers belonging to the
Custom House are returned at once,
no questions will be asked" So one
day not long after, dray was back
ed up in front of the Custom House
and the missing papers were restored
TO their lawful resting place, from
whence they had been absent so
many months. A good man who
was priest, had taken care of them
for my husband, who never returned.
He died Of fever contracted while on
the Bermuda Islands, he was await
ing the arrival of ship which would
bear him to Eng land, but death came
in advance and captured my soldier
darling while | watched and waited
for glimpse of the familiar form
which | was destined never to behold
again.
Aunt Phileny paused, and wipeln @
the tears from her wrinkeled face
concluded her story.
He died at the post of duty, 9
martyr to his country's cause and
have been waiting all these years fol
the summons TO join him in that lane
where there are no partlngs of tears
Goodnight, children, perhaps I'll
come again soon and tell you another
true story of the Blue and the Gray

water and provisions until they
succeeded in getting afloat again.
| This idea took such possession in
his mind that he went into the
cabin aud selected beautiful
gold cross set with rubies from
the box. Kissing the sacred en-
blem he swore that If Providence
! permitted him to reach home
again that he would return and
build cisterns and store houses
upon the Indian Mounds for un-
fortunate seamen.
AT dawn the neXt morning the
crew of La Refine awakened and
found themselves ahoat, and as
the bayou water was not one inch
higher, they were amazed and
could not imagine what strange
wonderful thing had happened
during the night to liberate them.
The captain said never a word,
but he knew his vow had been
heard, and with great JOY sailed
again for the open sea.
The years rolled by, bat the old
Indian mounds remained as free
from mans improvements as they
had for over century.
Not many years ago o man lay
dying in New Orleans hospital.
Continually he raveI cf marshes,
Indian mounds and crosses until
death hushed his antagonizing
voice. His cry was ever, 81 broke
my vow to the cross.
1t was Captain De Stacy-he
had reached land, as was his pray
er in the Louisiana marshes, and
with the help of the treasure had
become a rich and influential citi-
zen Of New Orleans. But in the
enjoyment of luxury he had ne
elected to fulfill his vow to the
cross, and at death, poor friend
less, and alone in hospital, he
bemoaped his trouble and punish
ment as IA just chastisement for
his broken vow to the jeweled
cross which had brought him sue
cess IN life.
Now the oyster men declare
they see the captain, strolling
about the old shell banks, wiring
ing his hands and lamenting his
broken vow at the dead os night.
Therefore that part of the Louis
lana Marsh is generally avoided.

THE STATE PRESS.

The Magnolia Gazett wants to see
Mississippi move up in the process
ion:
The Governor Of North Carolina
says the number cotton mills in
that state has increased in four years
from 1876 10 1910. Would that a
similar statement could be made for
Mississippi. With more and better
sites for cotton and woolen mills
cheaper fuel and better labor this
grand old state ought not TO be lag
glng behind In this respect.
The Columbus Commercial says
the following on good roads:
Good roads is a theme of the Mis-
slssippi press just now and too much
cannot be said along that line. Good
roads arc absolutely essential to the
advancement of any country and this
is especially true Of agricultural sec
tions. Let no stone be left unturned
that Will advance the cause of good
roads.
The editor of the Yazoo Sentinel is

AN INHUMAN mAssACRE.

The shooting of the negro post
master and his family by a mob in
South Carolina is one of the
most barbarous acts shat The south
has witnessed in many year.
That state owes fit to herself and
the people of the south to leave
nothing undone to arrest and
punish the criminals. 1t is a re-
proach that can be wiped out only
by summary retribution and jus
tlce The commissions OF such a
crime reveals a condition of NOR.
ais among " certain class of our
p ople which shocks the public
conscience and alarms all reflect
ing eople. Our good name is at
stake. We cannot tolerate or
condone such exhibitions of cruel
ty no matter what may be the pro-
vocation. Has South Carolina
forgotten what sho once was in
the days of such men as Calhoun,
liayne, the Hamptons, aud tho
Buffers? We know her politics
have fallen to Il low ebb, but we
had yet to learn that her people
have discarded the obligations of
civilization and christianity. 1t is
time to put stop to such crimes.
The lowest citizen, whatever his
color or occupation, is entitled to
the protection of the laws. IfI
mobs are permitted to take the
law into their own hands we will
soon find that the savagery which
Is directed against the negro will /
be directed in time against their
own race. The fault in this mat
ter lies with the president and Se-
nator Hanna, who promised the |
Offices Of tho south to tie compli-
ant tools who sold them the votes
IN convention. 1t does not lie so |
much with the ignorant and in
Hated negro. He was entitled to
hold the Office and he should have |
been protected in it. His appoint
ment was insulting to the people
and no doubt tended to demora-
llze the negro labor of the com
munity, but that is not justifica-
ton, hardly an extenuation for
the brutal massacre.

The following good story related
ny the Clarke County Times, is told
on one Of Canton's prominent mer-
chant:
a smart negro gave deed Of
trust on two "horses" which he de-
signated by the names of Sally and
Ben. The debt being unpaid, the
merchant called on the darcy and
demanded the collateral. Taking the
merchant TO the rear Of his cabin, he

KIND used IN saving wood, and said

Says the Biloxi News:
In the event there should be hos
tlliliss between this country and
Spain the national government will
hnd no class of men more willing I
nor more eager to come 10 its defense
than those Of the south. The people
OF this section know more of war and
Its demoralizing influence than those
any other portion of the broad repub-
lie. For four years the entire soush |
was an open field of battle. 1t was
the theatre Of action by the conten-
ding forces. The southern people |
experienced all the hardshIps of war,
extending from the charge of battle
to the hearth stones, and no people
in the history of the world ever
fought harder nor with more manli-
ness than died that their cause might
