H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.

New Orleans La, August Oliver
pool advices We're disappointing and our
market in sympathy opened about one
point lower and subsequently declined
one point additional. Later, however,
shorts covering, fearing the weekly
weather report might not be favorable,
caused an improvement of six points
from the bottom. The report when is
sued was much more favorable than ex-
pected and occasioned an easier feeling,
making the net loss about one point on
near months, whereas the late were prac-
tically unchanged. The summary of the
weekly report was as follows: THE
central and eastern portions of the cot
ton belt have experienced more favor
able weather and a very general i'm.
provement in the condition of cotton is
indicated, the rainfall of the week hav-
ing largely relieved the drouth. The
Carolinas, portions of Georgia, Louis
lana and Missouri, however, continue to
suffer from drought and shedding and
rust are more or less extensively re-
ported in the central and eastern dis
tricts. In Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nessee and Arkansas the rainfall has
been generally ample and excessive in
the last named place, where cotton has
been beaten down to some extent Cen
trail and Northeastern in common with
Arkansas and the northern portion of
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Tennessee received during the porepart
of the week from two to ten inches of
rain. In Texas cotton is making heavy
bush, and as rule continues to fruit
satisfactorily, but there is considerable
complaint of shedding, boil worms and
boil weevils, especially in the lower
portion of the BraZos and Colorado val
ley. The latter part of the week was
more favorable, and picking, while it is
in progress as far north as the Red River
valley with continuation of the weather
of the latter part of the week, will be
general in ten days" Outside of Texas,
Arkansas. Tennessee and Oklahoma light
showers occurred, but the weather was
generally clear over the great portion of
the cotton belt. During the next thirty
six hours fair weather is predicted
throughout the cotton region. The re-
cent heavy rainsn in Texas interfered
with the picking and marketing of new
cotton For nearly a week though the
weather has been favorable for gathering
the crop, and the chances are with the
resumption of railroad traffic, the
movement of new cotton will be on a
more liberal side. This crop is much earl
er than last year, and with fair demand
for spots, the probability is the Septem-
Der movement will be large. There is no
evidence of speculative short selling to
any extent as operators are fearful that
the crop may yet receive some setback,
therefore, with the existing discounts in
the new crop months, it was observable
that considerable covering took place to-
day. The movement of new cotton and
daily weather conditions will continue to
influence values.i

RETURN TO LONDON
King Edward Will Reach His
Capital Today.
Rumors That Second Operation For Append.

Coronation Denied.
(By the Associated Press

London, Aug. 5.-All preparations have
been completed for the return OF King
Edward to London tomorrow. The Vic
toria station has been brilliantly deco
rated. 1t is expected that His Maiesty's
return to the capital will be marked
by a great street demonstration enroute
TO buckingham Palace. The trip to Lon
don WiI be made on a royal special
train, but there will be no invalid chair
or other special arrangement. as it Is
felt that His Majesty is fully equal TO
the fatigue of the journey
A story afloat for several DAYS that a
second operation for appendicitis will be
performed on the King after the corona
tion is denied here. According to all au-
thoritative reports the King is making
an excellent recovery and tits considered
unlikely that his physicians would allow
him to endure the fatigue of the coro-
nation ceremony if another operation was
impending.
The emphatic denials of the sinister
rumors OF King Edwards condition are
confirmed by all persons who have re-
Gently visited His Majesty. The King
will land at Portsmouth at half past
three o'clock tomorrow afternoon and his
train is due to arrive in London at half
past five. His drive to Buckingham Pal
ace will be by an extended route instead
OF the direct way in order that the pub.
lie may have an opportunity to see and
congratulate the sovereign.
The King has commanded that corona
ton day and the anniversary of his cor
onation be observed as collar day, a day
of ceremony at the English court when
the courtiers wear the collars of their
orders.
On account of the approaching .coro-
nation most of the volunteers are at
present undergoing their annual training
at Salisbury. 1t has been decided that
they are to leave their camps August s,
instead of August 8.
The rehearsal of the coronation in
Westminster Abbey this morning was
the most largely attended and elaborate
one which has yet been held. The King
and Queen and other very important
persOnages, who were not present were
represented at the proceedings by sub
stitutes. Colonel Brockleyhurst, equer-
ry to Her Majesty, impersonated King
Edward, and Lady Duffield, one of the

Supt. Joyner's Letter Regard
ing School Fund.
Decision Of Supreme Court in GreenvIIle Casa
Not Taken as Setting Aside S'ctiOn "a
Of Public School, Law.

state Superintendent Of Instruction D.
T. Joyner yesterday sent out the Hollow
ing letter to County Superintendent ana
County Boards of Education:
"since the decision of the Supreme
court in the case of Hooker ct al. vs..
Town Of Greenville, some CONFUSION seeiiiS
to have arisen in regard to the dlstrl-
button of the school fund. In response
to numerous inquiries from County SUI
perintendents, members OF BOARDS Vi
Education and others, ! have deemed 1t
necessary to send out this letter or IN
struction. In the case referred to ABOVE
the question of the distribution OF the
school fund was not directly at issue
therefore, what the court says upon thaC
subject is what the lawyers call a dlctum
instead of a decision. Section "a OF the
Public School Law of North Carolina, Ill
reefs the County Boards of Education TO
apportion the school fund of the county
to the various townships per capita. IL
further directs them to distribute ana
apportion the school money to each
township so as to give to each school IN
said township for each race the same
length of school term as nearly as may
be. each year, and to have proper regard
for the grade of work to be done and
the qualifications of the teachers re-
uuired in each school for each race, and
fix the maximum salary for each school
in the county. This law having been le-
gally enacted by the Legislature, must
be assumed to be constitutional until 1t
is expressly decided by the court to be
unconstitutional. | cannot think that
what appears to be dictum OF the SUI
preme Court upon a question not directly
at issue. in a case involving the consu-
nationality of special act of the Legis-
lature, applicable only to particular
locality, can be understood, or was IN
tended by the court to be understood
as setting aside Section "a of the GEN
eral School Law of the State, and radl-
cally changing the entire method OF dls-
tribution of the school fund. Therefore,
| feel it my duty to instruct county
Boards of Education to continue TO APP
portion the school fund as directed by
the Public School Law of North caro-
lima"

the election of a State chairman was
taken up. BY a rising vote Hon. f. M.
Simmons was reelected to the position.
In accepting the position, Senator
Simmons expressed his qualification at
the manner in which he had been elect
ed. He said that he had stated to his
friends that it was his desire, if it was
the will of the party, to see placed in
other hands the duties of this important
position, but that as he had been again
called to the craftsmanship he would ac-
cept it; for he was of the opinion that no
Democrat ought to refuse to answer to
his party's call and to exert his best
abilities to press forward with it's in
terests. Speaking of the future he said
tina ia few weeks ago there were clouds
ahead, but that these have departed and
the party stands united and with a solid
front is ready for the contest. which is
to end in a glorious victory for Democ-
racy.

in order, and the following was offered
by Hon. Dan. Hugh Mclean:

Resolved, That the thanks of the Dem
ocratic party of the State are due and
hereby rendered to Col. Pearsall for his
faithful and efficient services to the
State during his four years incumbency
of the office and We assure him that :he
people of the State will hold in gratefui
recollection his aid in the triumph of our
party in the campaign of 1898 and 1900,
which secured to us the benefit of white
supremacy, and the blessings of a good
and honest State government.
The convention unanimously adopted
the resolution and Col. Pearsall returned
his hearty thanks for the kind resolution
and action of the convention.
The convention next authorized Chair
man Simmons to appoint the secretary of
the convention, and Mr.. Simmons named
Mr.. Alex. ]. Fields, of Raleigh.
After some further business the meet
