 NEW YORK. May 5.-In the early cotton market prices advanced 2Q7 points on very little business Shorts were scared by very satisfactory situation at Liverpool when We opened. The trade there was said to he nerr- ous with many new buyers wishing to enter the market but deterred by fears of more liuuidation There good rain in Texas today in the section where most needed, but this failed to be needed for the time being. It was regarded dangerous to sell distant positions at present prices and Wall Street was believed to be absorbing good deal or cot ton just now. but the whole sentiment was mixed and neither side very positive as 10 what the market may do. Demoraliaatlon Tn Wall Street broke cotton as much as " points on heavy selling after the opening. when prices again rallied. shorts covering on large seaie and the South sending in many buying orders. Port receipts were 5000 against 10000 last year There is just enough In the crop re- ports from some sections to justify the state ments that crop the whole is not dolhg brilliant although there is no denying the fact that it is doing very well because or this of a crop of i2ooo. 900 bales or over for 1902 and 1903. which is a preposterous nrophesy at this season of the year when cot ton is just coming up and we have floods, droughts or early frosts. Some Alabama cor respondents claim 1t will cost 5 to 20 per cent more to raise this crop than the last. Oc- creased acreage is noted for North Carolina. Some people hesitate about doing much be fore 1t is known what may be shown by the first tip from Washington, which VIII not appear until June 3rd.

law regulating franchised corporations and for law making the railroad com mission, paid by the state, and so elected or appointed, as to be responsible to the people and not subservient to any individ- ual interest whatsoever? If any man will do this, then, like Cunningham and Un- derwood and Gray's promised adherence to Jelks, will l promise my adherence to that man. I draw this distinction between the two adherences-the one looks like the formation of ring for the use and election of themselves, and the other a declaration for a rule by the people and for the people.
 As regards our railroad commission, and railroad commission law, both have been tried many years; both have been found without utility and imperative. The commission paid by the railroads was long ago bagged by them, and their con- tinued use is a reflection on the common sense and integrity of the state. The only use ascribed to them Is a buffer between the railroads and the people. I think the constitutional question settled, and think that General Pettus should be returned to the Senate.

ACAUSE OF HEADACHE
One Very Common Cause, Generally s. Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indication of Arrangement os disease in some or- gan, and the cause of the headache Is difficult to locate because so many dis nnses have headache as a prominent symptom; derangement e the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease lung trouble, eye strain or i'll fitting glasses. all produce headaches. and If we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter.
 However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eycs and in forehead. the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the headache is located in back Of head and neck 1t Is often raused from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
 At any rate catarrh is the most com mon cause of such headache and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dis- appearance of the headaches.
 There Is at present no treatment Tor eatarrh so convenient and effective as Btuarts Catarrh Tablets, new internal remedy in tablet form, composed of anti septics like eucalyptol, guaiacol and blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the nat ural channels.

r Miss Cora Ainsley. prominent school 2 teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: "I suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. l had suffered from catarrh, more or less for years. but never thought it was the cause of my headaches, but finally became con- 2. vinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse when ever I had a cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
 "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a safe and pleas ant eatarrh cure. and after using a few .nfty-cent boxes which I procured from my druggist, I was surprised and de- lighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good.'
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package, un- der the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine Qound Tn so many catarrh cures), no opium (so common in cheap cough cures), nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to de- stroy and drive from the system the
 germs of catarrhal disease.
