Col. w. p. WALTON, through his
Lexington Democrat, thus pays his
respects to the most contemplate SET
OF scoundrelS on top of earth. GAN
OF the newspapers seem to be taking a
fall out of that diSreputable creature
the Shyster. He is one of the curses
OF society and there is not communi-
ty in the United States where he does
not flourish to greater or less extent
He imposes on a class least able to
bear his imposition. His usual VIC
Tins are the poor and illiterate, whom
he plucks as long as there is a feather
left. He does much to bring the pro-
fesSion of law into popular contempt
as there are many persons who form
their opinions of class from the char
acter of the lowest members of that
class. But for these vermin there
would be few damage suits and news
papers and railroads would get rest

GOV. BECKHAM continues to prove
that he is not the "Boy Governor. "
but a man of sterling integrity and
plenty of boss sense. One of his recent
determinations is that he will listen
to nothing about pardons except from
persons who have knowledge of the
Facts in the cases where clemency is
asked, or who are otherwise thor
oughly qualified to give genuine infor-
nation of value. THE RECORD would
respectfully suggest to its valued
friend, the Governor, that he serve
notice that the names signed to petit
lions will be published in localities
interested, as in this way the names
OF many men who know criminals
ought to be punished, but sign petit
lions for pardon, will be kept off. and
the verdictS of jurieS and judgments
OF courts be better protected.

Bro. Lewis hand and half at
helm, and the Democrat will be kept
at the top notch. Mr.. Lewis has wise
ly concluded to return to the plan of
issuing a weekly paper, thus giving

his readers a carload of boiler-plate
matter, and a scattering of the do

Murphy 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York. October 21.-The changes In the cotton market were slight. Again the volume of receipts attracted attention, as well it might. Despite the better weather. which for some days has enabled the transportation of the staple with free dom, cotton Is moving at very slow pace; in fact, so slow as to give shorts no little concern.
 Immense exports were reported yester- day, exceeding 10000 bales. which go to show that previous statements that the diminished movement Is due 10 the with drawal of exporters In the south were without foundation.
 With such superb weather as prevailed for the past week we should now feel the effects of the changed conditions, ana unless receipts pick up decidedly before many days the only conclusion must be that the yield after all, must fall far behind bear claims. and possibly prove not much larger, if as large. as last year.

TRADING WAS OF
 LIGHT VOLUME
Stock Market Was Narrow and
 Devoid of Feature.
MISSOURI PACIFIC SOLD
Much of the Selling Came From One of the Pools That Was Promi- nent In the stock-WhoIe
 Market Weak.

New York October 21.-Tradlng in the Stoek market today was light in volume, very narrow and devoid of any note worthy feature. The formal settlement of the coal strike excited little interest There was just a bare suggestion of ac' tivity at the opening, but this was ai- most due to moderate buying for account for the western speculative contingent. Tie market soon became very dull, and save for a few spasmodic rallies, contin- ued so to the end. Missouri Pacific's un- favorable showing for August caused heavy selling with an extreme decline or points. Much selling came from one of the pools that was prominent in the stock.
 The other standard issues were com paratively neglected the greater part or the day, their places being taken py the minor industrials such as American Hide and Leather. United States Leather. Uni ted States Rubber and a few others Tn the same class, all of which appeared 10 be subjected to manipulation. Operations throughout the day were almost aito- gether of a professional character, and at no time did the list reflect any public Interests. These conditions were not caused by the monetary situation, money being very easy but in light demand,
 The prevailing rate was 51s. Time money was again slightly easier much of the days loans being made for periods or from four to six monthsi sterling ex- change was firm around 4S6A@4S6sl, but nothing other than gossip has yet been heard concerning gold exports Govern ment fours amounting to aDout $2OOO.OOO par value were bought by the sub-ueas- ury today making total local disburse- ments, including interest, about $lSOo0,00O The sub-treasury also paid out S400,OOO for Klondike gold deposited at San Fran cisco. With few exceptions the larger banks are lending their surplus cash for mercantile purposes and continue to dis courage anything like a bull campaign London was a seller on balance to the extent of about 15,000 shares.

New Orleans, October 21.-In the spot cotton market holders, influenced by the downward trend in contract values as well as by the unsatisfactory attitude of Liverpool, are showing some little dis position to froce sales and to that end are making slight concessions in favor of the purchasing element.
