HON. E. w. POU IMPROVING.
The smithfeld Tobacco Market is Doing Well
Receipts Of Cotton
Especial to News and observer)

Smithfeld, ~ c., Sept S.-There is
great rejoicing throughout Johnston
county over the nomination of her ia
vorite son, Hon. Edward w. Pou, to rep
resent the metropolitan district of North
Carolina in the Fifty-Seventh Congress.
The people of Johnston feel very grateful,
and will ever speak in praise of those 10y
al friends of Jhonston county, who stood
by our candidate in the convention held
at Raleigh Thursday, the 9Th inst.
Now that Mr.. Pou is nominated let the
Democrats of the Fourth District rally to
his support and elect him in November
by the largest majority that has ever been
given Congressman in this district.
Mr.. Pou is still confined to his bed, re-
covering from an attack of erysipelas, but
the doctors say he will be out in a few
days.
Mr.. John Barnes, who lives about five
miles South of Smithield, while getting
his team to come to town with a load Of
tobacco, stuck rusty nail in his foot,
which resulted in tetanus Mr.. Barnes
suffered very much yesterday but the
doctors report him as being some better
today, and hope for his early recovery
Drs. Dickinson. Robinson and Wharton
attended the case.
The latest reports show that in the re-
ceipts of cotton for 1900, compared with
the receipts Of the same month last year,
there is small increase in the number
of bales sold on this market Though
the crop is cut to some extent, yet it is
believed that the increase in acreage
will nearly make UP the deficiency. Prices
today range from 9as to ga. The success
of the market is to a great extent, due
TO the hard work of ]. B. Hudson, our
chief cotton broker.
The Smithfield tobacco market is hold
ing its own. The receipts for the week
are $4,000 pounds, and the prices paid are
good. With its strong corps of buyers
and hustling warehousemen, Smithfield is
bound to succeed as a tobacco market.

THINK THERE'S A CORNER.
Manchester spinners Trying to Break 1t. Cot
ton Mills Closing.
(By the Associated Press. J

London, Sept. S.-Manchester today re-
ports that the cotton mills are closing
in large numbers in the districts manipu
lating American cotton. The position
grows more acute daily.
The Manchester Guardian explains that
a great part of the little cotton at Liver
pool is to be of inferior quality, and prices
are too high to make spinning profitable
with yarn and cloth at their present
values.
New York and Manchester" the paper
continues, "are engaged in a game of
pull and the resolution Of the spinners
is Manchester's answer to the corner, if
there is one, at New York, in the in
terest of the Lancashire industry. We
may hope it will still further discourage
the bulls and speedily cheaper cotton
THIRTY MILLS CLOSED.
Thirty Lancashire cotton mills have
already closed Many more mills are ex-
pected to close next week. The opinion of
leading spinners is that the normal con-
ditions Of trade will not return before
November when the new crop comes in.
The idle operatives will have to be main
tanned out of tie unions funds.

Six Efforts to Burn Mrs. Bette
Turner's Home.
Little Negress Claims That Woman Persuaded
Her to Fire the House. Both
Under Arrest.
Especial to News and Observcr)

Durham, n c., Sept. S.-Since last
Wednesday six unsuccessful attempts
have been made to burn the residence of
Mrs Bette Turner, who conducts a
boarding house near Trinity College. So
persistent have been the efforts that Mrs
Turner has put every one in any way
connected with the house to watch for
fire, today During the afternoon Mrs.
Lougec, Mrs. Turner's daughter, had oc-
casion to leave her room. When she re-
turned she discovered the bed clothing
had been pulled aside. She investigated
and found that three matches had been
placed between the bed clothing and the
mattress. The matches was burning very
slowly when she discovered them. She put
the fire out, with but very little dam
age.
There had been no one in this
room during her absence except a little
ten year old colored girl, named Daisy
Pente, who had been employed by Mrs
Turner for the past three years. She
was confronted with the charge Of caus-
ing these fires, and confessed to Mrs.
Turner and said she was told to do so,
by Lucy Latta also colored, who ap-
pears to be about forty years of age. Mrs.
Turner notified the police. Officer Al
bridge placed the child under arrest The
Latta woman was also arrested but de-
MED knowing anything about the fires
At the police station the girl said that
Lucy Latta wanted her to leave Mrs.
Turner's, and go home where she could
play with the Latta womans children
and told her the best way to get away
from Mrs Turner was to burn the house.
She said the Latta woman gave her the
matches and told her how to go about
setting the house on fire, but also told
her to keep on trying until she sue
ceeded in burning the house. Both of
the defendants were seen in the police
station tonight, but the Latta woman
denies any knowledge of the affair, but
the little girl told her that she did not
intend to tell a falsehood, and she also
said to the Latta woman that she might
as well tell the truth. The defendants
are both in jail and will be given a pre-
liminGry hearing tomorrow.
