A HEAVY LAKE TRAFFIC
GREAT ACTIVITY IN THE LEAD
ING INDUSTRIALS.
FEATURES OF THE TRADE SITUATION
Cereals Higher and Trade Within Narrower
Limits. Complaints of Damage 10
Crops. Coffee at Lowest
Dr. pono.JoJ
Price Recorded.

New York, Sept. S.7Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Strength Of staple prices, activity in
fan demand, large railroad earnings, re-
ports of heavy traffic and of activity
in leading industrials are the features,
none of them necessarily new, but still
presenting themselves in the trade sit
nation this week.
Expansion in fall demand is perhaps
most notable at the leading Western
and Northwestern markets, but advices
from Eastern markets furnish evidence
that active interest is manifested at
these centers. The price situation is
one of notable strength, the events OF
the week, in fact having been to ac-
centuate in many cases the advance
shown during August
Cereals are generally higher, and
trading has been rather narrow limits,
the advance in wheat having been main
ly due to short covering, induced by
more bullish foreign cables and increas-
cd export demand.
Complains of behind hand supplies
and scarcity of material are still made.
Work has in many instances, notably
in ship-building been delayed by back
ward deliveries of steel.
Crop damage reports have been again
the important feature in cotton this
week, and prices are higher as a re-
suit, in face of very heavy receipts at
most Southern points, claimed to be
due, however, to premature ripening in
some cases. Further strength is to be
noted in dairy products this week.
Early dry weather conditions still af-
feet butter prices, while good foreign
and home demand has strengthened
quotations of cheese.
A conspicuous exception to the strength
displayed by most staples, however, is
found in coffee, which this week reached
the lowest price ever recorded, thus re-
flecting enormous stocks or Brazilian
grades and possible heavy crop the
current season.
Wheat, including -four, shipments for
the week aggregate 1853 ,906 bushels,
against 3,613,443 bushels last week;
3,200,20S bushels in the corresponding
week of 1898; 5,461 ,506 bushels in 1897;
3,799, al bushels in 1896 and 1,S10,039
bushels in 1895. Since July 1st this
season the exports of wheat aggregate
37,475, 246 bushels, against 80, 793, 800
bushels last year, and 3S,312, 752 BUSH
els in 1S9I-'9S.
Corn exports for the week aggregate
4,7S6,S73 bushels, against 4,167,S6S
bushels last week, 3,S6S,S69 bushels in
this week year ago, 4,943,34S bushels
in 1897, 2,6J6,44S bushels in 1896 and
S49,502 bushels in 1895. Since July LIST

INEBRIETY.. DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
sereise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tiOnal duties, and the helplessness of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to
perfectly healthy state. 1t cures by
removing the cause. The result is that

MISSING THREE YEARS
A NEGRO TRIED on THE CHARGE
OF NUMBERING HIM.

During the Time that his Supposed Murderer
Was on Trial for his Life, the Sup.
posed Murdered Man Was Work
ing at Wake Forest,
ing at Wake Forest.

Spring Hope, n. c., Sept. S.-(Special)
About three years ago West Langley,
colored man living few miles from
Spring Hope, suddenly and mysteriously
disappeared from his home and people.
Diligent search was made for the man,
but to no avail; however, it was but Il
short while before circumstances point
ed to foul play and Investigations were
made.
1t was learned that Langley was in
Spring Hope on the day of his disappear
ance, and in company with several other
negroes among whom was one Abe
Harris.
1t was said that Langley had some
money on his person. They were drink
ing together all day and late in the
afternoon Langley and Harris were
seen together. 1t afterward developed
that there was some bad blood between
them on account of too intimate rela-
tons between Langley and Harris
wife.
Langley did not show up at home and
search was at once made. Harris
was suspected and promptly arrested.
The people of the entire section, both
white and colored, believed Langley to
have been murdered. The woods were
secured for miles around and the ponds
and bitches dragged in search of the
dead body.
Harris was placed in Jail at Nashville
and was afterward tried for his life,
but was acquitted for want of suffi-
cient evidence. after remaining in jail
for eight months He all the while
protested that he knew nothing of
Langley's whereabouts. He was re-
leased, though nearly every one still be-
lieved him to be the slayer of Langley.
A few days ago Langley turned up
at his mothers home near here. He
walked into her house and almost fright
ened his mother to death, she believing
it to be the spirit of her murdered son.
He said that he had a little row with
Harris on the day they were in Spring
Hope together and that night decided
that he would leave. He at once set out
on foot and landed in Wake Forest,
where he has been at work for three
years.

Tine New YORK Lies Statement.

The fifty-fourth annual statement of
the New York Life Insurance Company,
gives interesting details of the business
Of 1898, summary of which was pub
lished the first day of the new year.
The items of income from premiums and
interest, and the payments to policy-hold-
ers in death-claims. endowments, annui-
ties, dividends, and cash surrender val
ues, will give an idea of the scope and sig
nificance of the company's activity. No
corporations in the country, except the
largest railroads, even approach the great
life companies in the magnitude of their
operations, and none are more closely
connected with the well-being of the
people. Life insurance is the best form
of socialism extant-a system which pro-
vides for the needs of all through the love
of each for his own. In the New York
Life about $4,000 persons are thus
banded together, under contracts calling
for 1914, 100000 at maturity, over $215,-
000, 900 of which is already in hand. 1t
is about seven years since President Nc
Call assumed the direction of this great
company, and his administration has
been marked by great energy in securing
new business, by the issue of an unre-
stricted policy combining unusual privil-
eyes TO the insured. and by the utmost
frankness in the publicity of details. The
practical adoption of three per cent
standard of reserve on all policies, and
the separation. of accumulations on de.
ferred dividend policies from the unappro
priated surplus of the company, are sig
nificant of the conservatism of Mr.. Nc
Calls management The company's in
vested funds will earn just as much as
before, but this change puts it in position
to meet, without danger, such further re
auctions in the interest rate as may take
place during the next generation.

We are happy to note that the Alton
liberty pole, apprehensions for the safe
keeping of which were freely expressed
some time ago, still remains with us, and
carries the golden eagle far above the
noise and strife of battle.
La grippe has been quite prevalent
here this winter, but the worst of the
epidemic seems now to have passed
away.
There continues to be some talk of in
cooperating the northern election dis
trict of Chatham township in some form.
1t does not yet appear whether it will be
a borough or an incorporated township,
but we are all hoping for something of
an improvement on the present regime.

How 70 Photograph a snowstorln.

The following seasonable hints may
be of service to amateur photographers /;
Do not attempt to photograph snow
storm with the sky as background, for
the white of the snow and the dull,
leaden white of the sky will neutralize
each other, and the result will be in no
sense satisfactory. Take any back
ground against which the white flakes
will make contrast. If in the country,
nothing can be more picturesque than a
background of evergreen woods. II in
the city, the brick or brown-stone fronts
of the houses make an excellent back
ground. But, above all. be careful to
shield the lens from the flakes of snow,
as they may spoil everything if one or
more gets lodged on the lens. A long
exposure is not necessary; is rather to be
avoided, as an exposure of from one
fortieth to one-fiftieth of a second is
ample. Use care in selecting view and
patience in the subsequent operations,
and you will be awarded by not only q
novel, butan exceedingly artistic picture.
