Howell Hobbs Bate, one of the cit
liens posse who was killed in New Or
leans by the negro desperate, Robert
Charles, was a Son-in-law of ex-Gov.
Lowry, of this State, and a gentleman
of culture and education. He was a
gallant Confederate soldier, and in
one of the early battles of Virginia
received an almost fatal wound in the
chest from the fragment of a shell,
the scar of which he carried on his
breast to the day of his tragic death.
For several years after the war
he was a prominent Brandon mer-
chant. He had been divorced from
his wife for many years, but had never
married again; and at the time of his
death was an insurance solicitor. Gov.
Lowry, Mrs. r. K. Parker, Gen. VIM.
Henry and other old friends accom-
panied the remains from Jackson to
their last resting place at Brandon,
the former home of the deceased Mr..
Bate was the namesake Of THE LEAD
Err editors father. and a cousin of his.
We earnestly hope that since life's fit
full fever is ended, his soul may rest in
peace.

We regret to hear that our old com
mander, Gen. Nat Harris, is seriously
i'll at German health resort. Gen.
Harris for some years lived in the
Northwest, but of late years has been
living ia England. His brigade was
composed of the twelfth, sixteenth,
nineteenth and forty eighth Missis-
sippi infantry, Mahone's division, A.
n. Va. Gen. Harris was a brave and
faithful officer and one of the kindest
hearted men that ever commanded a
brigade, and withal an accomplished
gentleman. His old command, or the
remnant of it, almost entirely from
the Southern part of the State, will

Kansas, in celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of her admission into the
Union as Territory, proposes to hold,
in 1904, at Topeka, her capital city, an
interstate exposition, to which the
world will be invited. Preliminary
work has already been inaugurated by
a strong organization, effected to carry
forward the undertaking. Kansas is
determined to reveal herself to the
world in an attractive light, hitherto
unsurpassed by those at distance
who have regarded her as merely a
part of the wild and woolly West.

1t is worth noting that Purvis & Co.,

vertised that they will pay in full all
claims against the banking house of
Purvis Il Co., of Baltimore, which fail

a boy when his father and grandfather
failed, and it has been his ambition to
pay the debt of his ancestors, regard

Four citizens of Mt Olive registered

Al N EIN IOitI NEW -.
Relative to the various needs of the
port of Newport News Sundays Daily
Press says:
-Four or five gas buoys are urgently
needed here in order that ships may
be able to sail out of port at night
This looks like a triiling thing. and so
it is from n financial point of view, but
the effect of not having the buoys is
enormous. The wonder Is that some
thing has not been done before, and II
is hard to see why hasn't.
The buoys are required to mark the
channel out of the harbor around Mid
dlcSround bar.
AS things are now, the force at the
piers strains every nerve to get n big
ship laden in the quickest possible
time, often to have it wait over for a
whole night, because 1t could not be
| loaded before sunset and the pilots
would not take it out after sunset. A
delay of twelve hours is serious
thing for big ship, as everyone
knows. and could he entirely avoided
by planting these pas buoys. The
pilots cannot be blamed for not taking
ship out these dark fall and winter
evenings. when they lave no method
of determining the continuous channel
and the easiest thing in the world
would he to run the vessels nose into
the mud, where 1t would stick indcfi-
nitely.
The subject, of course is one for the
government authorities. or. more Spe-
| clhcally, the Treasury Department. and
there should be, ii seems. no reason
| why the matter should lay over until
| Congress meets. The idea is for the
Business Mems Association to take Ii
up and bring il 10 the attention of the
proper authorities as soon as possible.
! In this they will have the hearty and
valuable cooperation OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and the shipping men
generally.
The subject was brought to the at
tention of the railway officials, who
were here Thursday, and they were SO
much impressed With the need of hav-
ing the buoys that they are ready to
| lend any aid necessary in pushing the
matter. which has assumed an added
| importance by reason Of the great
growth in the ports Shipping business.
| In this connection Tie association
will probably call up the matter of
dredging Middleground bar, submitted
| to Il working conmittc some months

nience TO shipping now. and then large

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money. Exchange. Bonds. Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.
These Are Closing Sales
Each Day.

New York. Nov. 5.-There was n very
ardent speculative spirit manifest In
the stock market all day. Ii was re-
pressed at times by the difficulty of
securing accommodation in the loan
market, but before the day had closed
the market burst into great animation
after following Il relapse In the call
loan rate, and the activity continued
up to the close. almost wholly ignoring
"a recovery in the money rate TO about
the top rate OF the morning. Taking
OF quick profits by room traders made
some slight impression on prices here
and there, but the last prices were
generally very near the top The feel
ing In Wall street this morning that
Fridays jump in the call loan rate had
been due to manipulation, that Satur-
days bank statement did not truly
represent the available resources of the
banks, and, in short, that all of the
usually trustworthy indication of a
pinch IN the money market were mis-
leading and artificial. 1t was in this
spirit that spectators rushed to buy
stocks at the opening. They raised
prices from x point over Saturday S
level In large number of prominent
stocks within few minutes. Then
began the calling of loans by some of
the banks. Loans made to-day carry
over Until Wednesday, and when spec
ulators began to look about to md new
accommodations with which to carry
their holdings of stocks over election
day they ran the call loan rate up
rapidly TO 20 per cent The first loans
were made at ten per cent One broker
placed $1,000, 900 at that rate, another
million at 10 per cent, and then de-
manded 20 per cent. for Il million more.
This suddenly checked the animation
OF the stock market and was followed
by period of contemplation. ~ sus-
picious feature of the market at this
time was the large number of trans
actions for cash and the small conces-
sions from the ruling prices at which
these were quoted. The condition of
the money market was. of course, ret
sponsible for this. When the rates for
money fell away to ten per cent. again
the Spectators very promptly awaited
themselves of the resources offered and
rushed prices up to the level OF the day.
The strength in the market was very
general and on the whole quite uni
form The steel stocks, the prominent
industrlals, and the Southern and
Southwestern railroads.. especially the
Atchison and Union Pacific, We're the
leaders in point of strength, with gains
ranging from to 2s per cent. 1t is
the belief in Wall street that money
conditions will relax during the course
of the week.
United States new rs advanced Il
and the old As declined IL per cent. on
the last call. Total sales bonds, par
value, s1,315,200.
Total sales of stocks to-day were
