MoRGANTowN. MARCH !. 1899
All pull together and the bridge
will be free.
The river got full over the appro-
priation bill.
We will get our moneys worth out

Karl Norcross is out of jail but he

The Second regiment will come

A free bridge means justice to
very large share of the taxpayers.

Not one single interest of the
county will suffer from free bridge

Forming casket trust is running
things into the ground little too
far.
Bluefield don't feel SO big since

March has been trying to live up

country.
The Mechanical Hall will be bet

The school board would do well to
harken to the appeal of the women

The coal deal is an assured fact.
Lots of people can take pleasure
from this announcement.
There is not one single argument
against a free bridge made or intend

It's going to cost more to die

plenty of grass seed and don't be

The opponents of free bridge are

who want the bridge made free

COTTON LETTERS.

New York. Nov. 29-To-day's decline
came as a surprise 10 the trade, both here
and in Europe, and appears to be due
more to a desire to close open transact
lions than to any other reason. Every one
knows the markets are long. expecting
t9e light receipts will compel the spin
n~rs to come i'm as buyers for their re-
g. T.. -aments 1t is, therefore, not surpris-
ing that at the substantial advance of the
past week there should be holders who
were willing 20 take their profits. These
had placed stop orders on their holdings
and the Slight decline abroad caused them
to be executed at the opening. Tenders
were made on December to-day, bringing
a widening of the difference to that point
where it became profitable to carry cotton
forward. In the present condition of the
money market the difference is not large
New York, Nov. 29.-Murphy & Co.'S cot
ton letter says: Early cotton market
showed some weakness on decline in Liv-
erpool cables and rallies have been small
the market has been active. There is be-
lieved to be a concerted movement to
break prices Bearish advices have been
freely circulated and claims put forward
that light crop movement has been due
to farmers holding back cotton. New Or
leans broke 20 points and markets gener-
ally weakened on change Of front of some
of the large holders. The Interior dealers
and planters are believed to be carrying
a good line of cotton a home and may be
compelled to liquidate.

The Reunion in savannah.

From the Thcmasviile Times Enterprise.
The reunion of the ex-Confederates of
Georgia at Savannah will go down in his
tory as one of the most striking and en-
joyable reunions of the men who wore the
gray since the war. Savannah fairly ex-
celled herself on the occasion, and that
means volumes for on all occasions that
beautiful city is noted for it's unstinted
hospitality. The old Confedera ties were lit
orally taken into the homes and hearts
of the people there.
Savannah and tfe. various committees
in charge of the programme simply COW
cred themselves with glory. A welcome
in Savannah is no meaningless thing, as
every visitor realized. Remembering the
sacrifices of these old heroes, and the glor-
ious cause they represented, the whole city
paid them homage, such homage as is
rarely paid to men who led and lost. Every
old soldier left Savanuah with prayer in
his heart for the noble men and fair wo-
men of that city, who united in a three
days welcome which will never be forgot
ten. Savannah has set a pace for these
coming state reunions which other cities
may possibly equal, but will never sur
pass.

The Other side.

Dorchester, Nov. 29.-Edltor of the Morn
ing News: First. To remove the
allurements and temptations of the
saloons and hotel and club bars
from the path and sight of the
young and save hosts of them from ruin,
is worth a prohibition law, for the state,
even If it don't prohibit any more than
the prohibitory law against gambling pro-
hibits. And any loss of revenue Qf any
really is not to be compared 10 prevent
ing the young from taking the places of
the drunkards, the disorderlies and GRIM
inals of to-day. Prohibition cities Chat
can tell better than saloonites) declare
that they have gained revenue and pros
perity from the loss of saloon revenue
and saved their young people. Why not
state what they say of themselves?
Second. 1t is well known that hotel wine
suppers and ball room wine suppers, af-
ter theaters, and balls, and rides, are the
ruin of thousands. That which Rudyard
Kipling saw is a frequent occurrence.
Few would be ruined if such wine sup
pers were out of the way.
Third. The ants cry out for personal
liberty" liberty to drink if he pleases.
But is a man. free to drink as he pleases,
to waste his money and risk
getting drunk, and violent and criminal?
So long as others are involved in his hab-
its, hazardly involved, the family, society.
the state and the church--he has no right
to such dangerous and wasteful personal
liberty. The community and the state
have the right by law to restrain personal
liberty from becoming an experienced
public evil. Personal liberty must be re-
| strained for the public good.
And it is, by public law, and the con-
sent of some of the advocates of personal
liberty. Gambling is no worse, is a thous-
and times less an evil than drinking at the
public bars. Why prohibit places where
men may waste or gain money, ruin
themselves or others, occasionally; why
restrain this personal liberty, and give
full freedom to the other more wasteful
and dangerous liberty? No man can an
swer why.
Fourth. A prohibition law against
gambling, or the liquor traffic, can
law, in city and county. If their
officials have honor and conscience
enough to respect their oaths of office,
| regardless Of self interest, or the selfish
interest of their friends. If they win not,
| the time is coming when the majority
| that enact the prohibition law, will re-
mand the violaters of oath 10 private OBJ
| security and place men in Office who will
| have such respect for oath and law and
| the public good that they will hunt the
| lawlcss like the terriers hunt the rats.
Is il the will of the citys majority, that
| its officers must not enforce the law, but
| must keep the traffic going with all its
| evils and allurments of the young, for the
sake of revenue? Take a vote of the city,
| men and women fathers and mothers, and
| see IL it is so. The traffic does not ask
| for such a vote. j. L. II. Waite.

Savannah, Nov. Gas the forerunner
of the holiday the usual ACTIVITY prevailed
in all the markets to-day. While there
were no changes of consequence In quota
tons, all branches seemed adjusted for
business, and the amount done was gener-
ally satisfactory.
Most interest was probably shown in
spirits turpentine, which opened at 4Sc, and
closed firm at 4SQ4S1zc An effort is being
made to run up prices, and it is ques-
ton depending mainly on receipts whether
the effort will be successful. If the re-
ceipts are light prices are apt to advance,
while, on the other hand, if they are in
liberal volume, the chances for an i'm
provement are by no means favorable.
Rosin was firm and unchanged, with sales
of a good lot. Cotton was quiet and easy
and unchanged Produce was active and
firm. All dealers made an effort to un,
load perishable stock, which it was moi
desired to carry over the holiday. The

COTTON FUTURES.

Net to II Points Lower.

Net y to IL POINTS Lower.
New York. Nov 29-The heavy long In
terest in cotton was reduced very mate
rally to-day under a scramble for profits
by the investment public The opening
was weak, with prices 4q12 points lower,
followed Immediately by a further drop
of 4dS points. Throughout the first hour
great excitement prevailed with specula,
ton very active and mainly on bearsh
nature. Subsequent events, however
proved the opening prices to be the low
est of the day. Reactionary movements
carried prices upward some 10 or p points
higher and sentiment once more favored
the fun side. The initial break was caus-
ed by a poor response on Liverpoors pert
to our advance of yesterday, and on re-
newed estimates of an 1900, 000-bales crop.
The latter served TO intlmidate smaller
holders, whose selling the local crowd was
unable to withstand, Stop orders were
reached, liberating enormous lines of jan
uary March and May cotton, A bad break
in the New Orleans market soon after the
opening added to the nervousness here, as
did a sharp tumble in futures abroad. SO
far as the position of the market was con-
cerned, conditions were unchanged from
those of the past weeks, and many leading
traders bought throughout the decline. Re
ceipts continued light and spot markets
South were reported firm. But unnatural
ly, investors reduced holdings in view Of
the possibility of unfavorable developments
abroad during our holiday tomorrow.
The market was finally steady with
prices net at s@17 points lower. the latter
