G~oldsboro, September 6.
The teachers institute continues to
draw large crowds. Professor Claxton
made a stirring address this morning
to a great many visitors throughout
the county as well as the teachers.
His thrilling educational appeals and
earnest eloqucnce for better schools
cannot be frLitless but productive of
much good.
Senate Aycock followed in an i'm
FASHIONED appeal for the cause OF edu-
cation.
Mr.. H. G. Griffin, of the Southern
Railway returned today from the
mountains whore he has been spending
a few days on q pleasure trip.
The board OF aldermen held quite a
long session last night. A delegation
of the board Of trade appeared before
them and asked to be released of the
$500 annual license tax levied by the
board on buyers and dealers in lea
tobacco.
The BOAR decided to reduce the tax
to So and except ~pinhookers who are
doing business on the small scale.
Regular routine business was then
transacted. The mayors report show
ed deaths-whites 5; colored Z; births
white z; colored 5; Twenty-Five cases
tried, fines and costs 5000. SO.

rhoea and thought I was past being
cured" says John S. Holloway, of

much that I a given up all hopes of
recovery. I was so feeble from the eff

no III of labor. could not even travel,
but by accident I was permitted to find
a bottle of Chamberlain's Colo, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after TAX
ing several bottles I am entirely cured
of that trouble. I am SO pleased with the
result that / am anxious that it be in
reach of all who suffer as I have" For

IT IS YET UNSETTLED
STEEL STRIKE CONFERENCE
 DOES NOTHING.
President shaffer of the Amalgamat. ed Association Will Call An
 other Meeting of the Execu- .ssS tive Board Today.

Pittsburg. July 31-The steel worers strike against the United States Steel Cor poration is still unsettled. and the status of the contest seems unchanged. The conference of the members of the general Executive Board of the Amalgamated As sociation today. which was expected to settle, the trouble. adourned at m. without accomplishing it's purpose.
 After the meeting began its formal pro- ceedings this morning. the discussion was apparently lifeless. Much of the time was spent by the members wandering about the offices of the organization. At noon the officers adjourned for lunch. Shortly after 2 o'clock conference was resumed. A recess was taken at frequent intervals. showing that much of the meeting was devoted to killing time during the absence of the officials. who were on mysterious missions. At 1 o'clock President Shaher and vice-President Reece left the build ing, going to the Carnegie building, where they held brief consultation with Joseph E. Schwab and Veryl Preston. who spent most of the day in the Carnegie offices; Within an hour the two Amalgamated men returned to their offices.
 After adournment. when President Shaf- fer came down to go home, he said: There will be no statement given out to- day. I expect to call another meeting or the board tomorrow at 10 o'clock. will be present at this meeting and will not be out of the city tonight"
 About the entrance of the headquarters building, on Seventh Avenue, groups of men were gathered all the afternoon: Some were members of the Amalgamateo Association. Others were private detec- lives, who watched every move made by President Shaffer and other leaders of the Amalgamated Association seemed to he closely watched during the entire day: Whose interests were thus being guarded could only be surmsed but the Amalga- mated Association men firmly believed that the watchers were in the employ Of the manufacturers.
 A number of striking steel workers from the Pittsburg mills of the American Steel Hoop Company were among the watchers about the Headquarters. One who claimed to be among the oldest members of the Amalgamated Association, who has passed through no less than four great strikes, said he hoped the strike would not he settled on the terms offered He want l. ed the issue fought to a finish now. He eaid that there was no use in temporlzlng in this matter and If the settlement was made now it would only mean that il would have to be fought, all over again p
 C,Anfidence was felt in some circles to- day1that the strike would eventually De settled on the propositions made by MT Morgan. The delays in the settlement are fully understood by the Morgan repre- senfatives and while all maintain silence regarding the matter they are not able to conceal their satisfaction over the way 4hivf1s going.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
SUPPORTING ORDERS WERE
 SOON EXHAUSTED.
Room Selling Became Feature and Under This Pressure Prices Slowly Based off-The
 Close Steady.

NEW YORK. July I.-The cotton mar ket started quiet as to tone with prices 213 points higher on light pit buying ana scattering foreign demand. Firmer Liver pool cables than looked for. dry weather news from the greater part or ne Soutn- west and not altogether favorable crop reports prompted this demand. But the supporting orders soon were exhausted, room selling became a feature in small way. Under this pressure prices SLOWLY eased off until a net decline of 244 points was in evidence. From this out business was stupidly tame and entirely of pro- fessional character. There was nothing in late news to effect sentiment and the whole trade seemed to be holding aioof for the August Government report or next Monday. Business from the South was eingularIy light while commission houses failed to interest the public. Spot ottcn markets here and in the South exhibited fair degree of steadtness, but were neg lected and generally unchanged. Clotn market adyices were featureless. Crop accounts reflected improving conditions east of the Mississippi. but more impera- tive need of rain over large areas west Paris, Tex, received l.j0 inches and Rus sellville, Ark, received inches within the past 24 hours. But those rains were entirely local and relieved the drought only at those points. The August option received very little attention ana very lew notices were issued. Liverpool cacles were about as expected after the early advance showing general 1eslre aei cad to conform with any variation in the mar ket here. In the last half hour the mar ket stiffened on room covering and ao- sence of sellers. The close was stesdy with prices net points higher to points lower.

NEW ORLEANS, July 31.-The market for spot cotton was again quiet today. There are some small lists of high grades remaining in factors hands, but they are jealousy held, and in most instances have not been tabled. Medium and low grades are fairly plentiful and easy to buy at quoted prices. but there Is little demand for them. Sales, 500 bales, includ- ing 200 to arrive Quotations 1-l6 lower.
 Only a moderate amount of trading was noted today in the market for contracts and such business as was transacted in- volved so narrow range of auctuaci Jns that but little interest in the situation was shown by local operators, who con fined themselves strictly to commission work and but for the handling of New York orders would have found time hanging rather heavily upon their hands. The market opened at exactly yesterday s closing figures and after fiuctuating 3d4 points closed with a loss of 1 point for the day on all positions.

Sea- board clearances in wheat and flour were equal to S36, ,O0O bushels
 The market for corn was a nervous af- fair owing to the fact that the experts were not quite ready to hazard guesses as to the benefit to the crop of recent rains. Such reports as were received were not so optimistic as those of yesterday. Liquida tion following the opening caused
 
 the nervousness of shorts over conditions mentioned, and augmented by an advance at Liverpool led to covering which held prices firmly the remainder of the session. September sold between 55& and 54A and closed 1h over yesterday at 5o1sG55ss. Re- ceipts were 15S cars.
 There was only a small scalping mar ket for oats In the absence of country trading, which for some time has been the feature. The market was inclined to sym pat hize with corn. but the bearlsh senti- ment of local traders prevented a marked advance. September sold between 33% and 34% and closed ls higher at 34d34h.
