Last night at 10 o'clock, thirteen saloons.
closed turning the liquor business over to-
the dispensary. The barrooms did a land
office business all day yesterday, selling
goods far below cost and supplying the
public with thousands Of jugs and bot
ties People bought immense supplies and
wagons went out in the country loaded
down with different kinds OF spirits.
One man bought 500 worth of liquors for
his own use.
The saloons were packed to the doors
all day and until the last minute at night.
They could not wait on the trade.
The dispensary forces worked all night
to prepare for the opening this morning.
Carpenters hammered away under cleo
trio lights placing shelving in position and
making preparations. The Chamlee sa-
loon moved out and the dispensary moved
in. They have received most OF their
goods and more are on the road.
Customers were ready this morning at
sun rise to make the first purchase for q
souvenir and the dispensary has contin-
ued to make sales all day.
The city viii lose 5000 revenue from
the barrooms, half OF which was paid on
April 1st, Of each year. But Mayor Hales
and the retiring council have left 5000 in
the city treasury. enough to run the mu-
nicipality six months without more. Ii
censes have been raised on pawn shops
and other enterprises and these win more
than of set the loss from saloons
The dispensary people claim II will be-
gin paying the city large sums within the
next sixty days and by the end of the
year the city and county will have each
received $4,000.
Hundreds of people remained to see the
saloons close last night and when the
hour came shouted, s'Rah for the dispen-
sary''; others were equally as vehement
in reviling the institution with strong de-
nunciations.
The saloon men OF this city will locate
in Atlanta, Chattanooga, Birmingham and
Gadsden.

MOURNERS ARMED AT THE
GRAVE WITH RIFLES

CHICAGO, April 1.-The Tribune's
Whitesburg, KY. special says to, unique
professions were witnessed in Pike county
Sunday afternoon.
There were over two hundred mourners,
and every man carried rifle across his
shoulder.
One was the funeral of the two Hat
fields, Thompson and his son Ephraim,
who We're killed in a double tragedy OF
Saturday morning, the other victims being
John Rutherford and Harry Watts. The
Hatfields were buried on the mountain
side.
The other funeral was that of John
Rutherford.
Both were conducted at the same time
and the two professions were in plain
view of each other.
The Rutherfords are greatly wrought
up over the killing Of their kinsman, and
It is likely that a feud which may eclipse
the celebrated Hatfleld-McCoy feud has
just begun.
Any suspicious move on the part OF the
mourners in either procession today would
have caused a re-opening of the warfare.

In all parts OF the country men and wo-
men doctors and surgeons. clergymen
and educators are wondering at the re-
markable cures made by Prof. Thomas A.
Adkin, discoverer Of the Adkin VitaOpath-
&c treatment.
Professor Adkin heals not by drugs, nor
by Christian Science, nor by osteopathy.
nor BY HypnOtism, nor by Divine Healing,
but BY subtle psychic force of nature in
combination with certain vital magnetic
remedies which contain the very elements
OF life and health
A reporter recently talked with Prof
Adkin and was asked 10 invite all readers
Of this paper who are sick or who are
worried by the ills OF those dear TO them
70 write 10 him for assistance. Some peo-
pie have declared" said Professor Adkin
that my powers are Of God: they call me
a Divine Healer-a man OF mysterious
powers. This Is not so. I cure because /
understand nature-because use a subtle
force Of nature 10 build up the system and
restore health. But al the same time
believe that the Creator would not have
given me the opportunity 10 make the
discoveries have made nor the ability
10 develop them II He had not intended
that should use them for the good OF
humanity. / therefore feel that IL is my
duty 10 give the benefit OF the science

you to tell your readers that they can

nor how hopeless they may seem; I want

well. feel that this IL my life's work.
So great IS the sensation wrought in the
medical world by the wonderful cures per-
formed BY Professor Adkin that several
professional gentlemen were asked 10 in
vestigate the cures. Among the gentlemen

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK. April 2.--LiverpooI made an un-
expectedly good showing this morning, ap-
parently on, a growing conviction that the
decreased receipts are after all due more to
depletion than to the recent interruption Of
traffic The estimates. for today's receipts were
favorable to higher prices, but notwit outstanding
the strengthened ihfiaiences New York opened
disappointingly dull and Indifferent. Early
purchases were met by continuation of liqui-
dalton noted since the beginning of the week
and the slight initial gains were quickly lost.
The market after the first ten minutes ruled
around last nights close. Sentiment was I'M
deniably bullish. but believers in an ultimately
high range of values were apparently waiting
for some indicatiOr-sof the permanency OF
present comparatively light movement, and 1t
would also seem safe TO assert that there is
a distinct tendency on the part Of many hold
ers to calmly await the time when in their
opinion the mills must inevitably bid up the
value of their holdings Perhaps a fair state
ment of the prevailing sentiment is contained
in the argument that while a crop of around
10 $50, 900 is probable, so long as the south Is
able to sell spots for prompt delivery around
9 cents, cotton is cheap at the present New
York prices.

the correct number. Many houses went
down in the current.
The only deaths reported are three negro
children.
Only one bridge across Duck river re-
mains standing in the county, all the
steel bridges recently erected at a cost OF

BOY SINGER HOLDS
HEARERS UNDER
SPELL
SAMMY CLAIBORNE, AGED II,
THRILLS AUDIENCE AT FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN WITH
HIS RARE VOICE.

Two youthful phenomenons were discov-
cred ar Easter exercises given Sunday
morning in the Sunday school OF the First
Presbyterian church. as a result Of which
two young boys win be closely watched
and n they continue TO exercise the talent
that they showed Sunday morning
wealthy members OF the congregation may
send them abroad or 10 large cities in
this country 20 complete their education.
The first prodigy TO eIeetrify the large
crowd that thronged the Sunday school
room Sunday was Lemmy Clayborne,
twelve years old. Young CIayborne has
a soprano voice that IS clear and inspir-
ing. and reminded several people present
OF Blatchford Cavanaugh in his prime. He
was enthusiastically heard and one OF the
weslthiest members Of the congregation
approached Rev. c. p Brideweu. pastor
Of the church and said enthusiastically.
That boy Is a wonder. ] am going to
keep watch OF him. and he holds his
voice ] viii subscribe the necessary funds
70 complete his musical education
Several other churchmen present were
almost equally as fervent in their praise
and young Clayborne's future career Is
bound 20 be interesting.
Almost as big a hit was made by Jesse
Adams. ten years old. who lives at Is2
Nelson street. Young Adams preached a
sermon. 50 good and with such grace and
naturalness that he created great enthu-
siasm. He had all-of the methods OF a
finished pulpit orator and viii De watched
DR.. Brideweu said yesterday:
The work Of these two boys came as
great surprise 20 the congregation. and
both OF them have talent far above that
OF any boys the same age heard in the
city in years. They have the genius that
wins recognition. Young Adams efforts
were remarkable. and although he had
memorized his sermon. he delivered IL as
clearly as though IL were extempOrane0us
His intonation gestures and delivery was
remarkable for a boy Of his years"

NEW YORK, April 2.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices two to five points
higher but Immediately sold off to last night s
bids under averse speculative conditions First
of all, investment support was tame, then,
bear operators were encouraged to put out
new short lines by the presence on exchange
of the leading bear of the season and by the
orders Of several commission houses to take
profit on cotton. Aside from these, the con-
ditions decidedly favorable to a higher
and frmer market. Port receipts for the day
were estimated at only 5000 bales, against
%. 900 the same day last year The cables de-
picted advance of half point in Liverpool
whereas a decline of III to 2 points was due
on the adyices sent from this side last night.
Private advices from the south were encour-
