SHORT SALES OF COTTON
AND SHORT CASH RETURNS
In 1900 There Were 1926 Bales More Sold up
to This Time.

Yesterday was another day of light re-
ceipts on the cotton market and the
price LACED at cents. Talking here and
there with farmers who were in the city
it was learned that there was feeling
that there would soon be higher figure
offered for the staple, and that where
menAwere able to hold they were quietly
waiting for the market to rise and We're
not rushing it in.
In but one case yesterday did the mar
ket top 8 cents, and then it only got to
lis cents. 1t was particularly pref
ty lot of cotton that reached this notch,
and had it not been fancy it would not
have touched it.. The market ran be-
tween rs and'S, most of the cotton get
ting up to the notch
There were sold on the market here
IS bales yesterday, and a singular thing
about it is that year ago there were
just three bales less sold, the number
being To- These 70 bales, however,
brought more money as cotton on Octo-
Der 8, 1900, was selling at 9A cents, as
against cents yesterday.
TIL cotton week for calculations runs
from Friday morning through Thursday
night, and the sales since last Thursday
have amounted to 297 bales. There was
sold last Friday SO bales, Saturday 115
bales, Monday 10 bales and Tuesday is
bales.
Since the first of September, when the
season begun, up to last night, there has
been sold in Raleigh 1886 bales. For
the corresponding period last year the
sales on this market amounted to 1851
bales a falling off of 226 bales or near
ly 70 per cent for this year as against
last
Calculating 400 pounds to the bale and
considering the loss On the cotton al

ME. BUNCH GETTING WELL.
A Singular Coincidence in His and Mr. W. H.
Dolls Sickness.

Mr.. r. Z. l.. Bunch, general passenger
agent of the Seaboard Air Line, who has
been sick with typhoid fever here at the
home of Mr.. F. A. Olds, is improving rap
idly. This week he has been able to go
out driving and a number of friends have
called to see him.
Among these yesterday were Messrs. W
Fl. Doll, travelling passenger agent of the
Seaboard at Washington, and Mr.. w. G.
Coleman, general agent at Washington. A
singular coincidence in the visit of Mr..
Doll is that just before Mr.. Bunch was
attacked with typhoid fever he and Mr..
Doll were in Florida together. Both had
attacks of typhoid, and Mr.. Doll was
sick at Knoxville, though his case was
not as severe a one as Mr.. Bunchs and
he recovered sooner.

Maxton. has been arrested on the charge
of setting fire to his place of business.
Mr.. Resnic waived examination before
Magistrate Ed McRae until Monday
giving bond of 81, 500 for his appearance
at that time. when the preliminary hear
ing will take place.
The Commissioner of Insurance, Mr..
Jas. r., Young, has been informed OF the
alleged incendiarism and will go to Max
ton Monday to conduct the prosecution.
The evidence against Mr.. Resnic is
only circumstantial. That the store was
fired by an incendiary seems probable.
The fire was discovered in Mr.. Resnic's
place of business, which is in the bust
ness district of Maxton, Monday night
shortly after 10 o'clock. The doors We're
broken open by those who discovered the
fire. and the smell of kerosene oil was
strong. Mr.. d. Boyd Kimball was one
of the party who arrived on the scene
early. He was here yesterday and told
the Commissioner of Insurance what he
knew. He said:
"A plank was torn up in the floor and
through this there was blaze from be-
low. 1t had spread to the pile of cloth
ing Below the opening in the floor were
found lightwood splinters, and cotton
saturated with kerosene, which was
packed in between boards and then
wrapped with Irvine. Three such boxes

Commissioner Young received other in
formation, which induces him to make a
vigorous prosecution. He has been in
formed that Mr.. Resnic was at his store
about twenty minutes before the fire, it
being claimed that his clerk left him
there at that time.
The amount of insurance carried on the
stock of goods by Mr.. Resnic is $4,000.
Two thousand of this insurance was
taken out several months ago and the
remaining two thousand only a week or
so ago. The insurance was in companies
represented by mir. W. S. Primrose, of
this city, who has gone to Maxton to
mako an investigation. The building
which was occupied by Mr.. Resnic is
owned by Mr.. G. B. Patterson, who is in
the city attending the Supreme Court
Mr. Patterson says his store was in
sured for small amount. He was sur
prised to learn of the reported incen-
diaryism. The damage done the store
and the stock of goods was slight. The
flames were extinguished by bucket
brigade.
Mr.. Resnic has lived in Maxton two
years, going there from Lumberton.

CHOPPERS LACKED MONEY.
One Reason Assigned by Mr.. Ashley Horne
For Short Cotton Crop.

Talking about cotton a day or so ago,
Mr. Ashley Horne, of Clayton, who was
in the city, said Cotton is one of those
staples that the world has been gambling
in since | was a boy, and all is guess
work about the size of the crop and the
money that it will bring. My own opin-
ion is that the bureau report as to our
section will have to come down eleven
points, and in place OF sixty-one it will
be fifty. Our crop, think, will be about
half of last years crop. Sixty per cent
of the crop is usually made by tenants
and colored people and this is one year
that these could not make anything like
a full crop for want of money and lack
of tact"

JOHN ROBINSON's SHOW.
A. Gorgeous, Sumptuous and Impressive

infant of the fact that it is now and has
ever been the best among the best. Ev-

has received augmentation so vast and
so important as to dwarf by comparison
even it's own great exhibitional excellence.
We allude to the grand, gorgeous and
sublime biblical spectacle of Solomon,
His Temple and the Queen of Sheba,
in which innumerable people are active
participants and which is complete and
scenographic effect, typical reproduction
of biblical personages and events prolific
in pageantic and professional features,
lavish in enhancing ballets and tersicho-
rean advertisements, and rich in trap
pings and appointments, requiring for its
production, the largest stage ever con-
structed, and conspicuously portraying sa-
cred events, scenes and incidents such as
the Judgment of Solomon, Arrival of the
Queen of Sheba, the City of David. The
Palace and Temple, the Walls and Towers
of Jerusalem, Solomon's 700 wives, the
Sacred Ark of the Covenant, the Great
Ivory Throne, Procession of War Cha
riots, Slaves bearing incense, lovely
Cresset Dancing Girls, martial and court

eminently moral, historical and mind ele-
waiting spectacle will commend itself to
every lover of the sacred and beautiful.

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Morning and Evening Duties Which
Should, Under No Circumstances,
Be Neglected.

In the morning separate the hair
lock by lock and comb it from the
ends up toward the roots with she'll
comb, coarse and with teeth set far
apart. This method of disentangling
the hair prevents it from getting into
knots and breaking.
When it is thoroughly disentangled
brush it vigorously with rather
hard brush from the roots down,
brushing till the hair shines.
TO disentangle the hair, as we'll as
to brush it, you should not attack
mass of hair and brush it at hap
hazard. The hair must be brushed
and combed strand by strand, and
this continued all around the head.
At night, before going to bed, let
the hair fall loose, shake it thorough
ly, then brush it and braid it.
Nothing is worse for the hair than
to leave it hanging loose when one
is in bed. 1t should be divided into
several strands, braided, and then let
fall, or else neatly twisted at the
nape of the neck.
This permits the air to penetrate
the hair, and at the same time pre-
vents it from breaking. The hair
should be left as unencumbered as
possible and should not be overloaded
with pins or ornaments that are too
heavy.-Chicago American.

POSING FOR PICTURES.
What to Wear and What Not to
Wear When Really Good Pho
tOSraph Is Desired.

photography as an art has attained
such a standard of excellence that no
pains are too infinite to enhance it's ef-
fectiveness. While the primary OBJ
Ject in any likeness, is to portray the
features, the pose, the individual, yet
it cannot be gainsaid that much of our
pleasure in viewing the countenance,
however perfectly depicted, may be
seriously marred by the unhappy selec-
ton of an unbecoming gown.
1t is mistake to wear ones richest
ana most sumptuous costume instead
OF one whose design, being less pro-
nounced, is, consequently, less apt to
look grotesque a few seasons hence.
Certain materials are risky, to say the
least, in a photograph. Satins or silks
with high luster throw lights and
shadows which are harsh and unexpect-
ed in reproduction. Translucent fab
RIGS are by far to be preferred. Softly
folding, easily draped, and not pro-
nounced are crepes, either silk or wool,
and chiffon. Tulle, nets and such lace
like transparent effects depend SO
used as foundations that, in general
way, they are to be considered as Sec
onoary in Importance, although as dra-
perles they may be styled par excel
1ence. Stiff, starchy effects are to be
strictly tabooed unless it be the trans
1ucence of swiss or organdie.
Stripes and large patterns in lace
or silk are failures, big brocades or
plalds some thing to make one weep,
especially the photographer who fore
sees demand for second sittings when
the proofs are shown. Velvet and fine
furs are especially happy selections,
and such accessories as handsome op-
era cloak or long ostrich fan are
deemed happy adjuncts with full
dress.
Gloves should always be worn with
street toilets which include hat, but
since glace glove would be shiny, one
OF undressed kid is far better. With
very light colors the hand should al
ways be lifted or placed against a
background darker than itself since
the pink dress will naturally take dark
err than the Light fabric.
Jewelry adds much to an evening
dress, especially in the way of orna-
ments about the top of low-cut cor
sage. Pearls photograph exquisitely in
made-up jewelry, in necklaces or in
long chains. which may be brought up
and knotted once or festooned from a
single ornament in front of the cor
sage.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
