half price. WALTER SMITH.
The cotton men are in a dead brown
study just now. The rice will not go
down as low as those who are forced
to buy had wished it might, aud yet
the m~anipulations of the gamblers are
holding 1t lower than It really ought
to be, with the sad plight of the crops
throughout this country, as reported
during the past month. Everywhere
the verdict lie that the Governments
estimate will have to be taken down
from % TO 80 per cent, and this o
the highest price pail for cotton in
years, before the present season ends.
The ruling price for common, any
kind Of old cotton, on the streets Of
Okolona for the past week has been in
the neighborhood Of ten and one half
cents FER pound. It ought to reach
fifteen cents within the next month.
But, the gamblers are on deck, the
farmers are generally forced TO sell.
and maybe Il viii remain close to the
ten cent mark. But 1t will rise plenty
when the old staple passes into the
hands Of the spectators.

QUALIFIED MARTIAL LAW EXISTS
IN COLORADO STRIKE DISTRICTS

Cripple Creek Colo. Sept. 1S.-Acting
Advocate General Tom McClelland ap-
peared in the district court today and
asked for a continuance for five days
in the habeas corpus proceedings on
behalf of C. II. Mckinney and three
other strike leaders who have been held
as prisoners in the military guard
house for more than a week. Judge
Seeds overruled the motion and ad-
journed court until afternoon. Neither
Adjutant General Bell nor Brigadier
General Chase was in court nor were
the prisoners produced On behalf Of
Genera Bell a sworn statement was
filed which declared that no prisoners
were held in custody by him.
BFigadier General John Chase, in his
reply through counsel. assumed re-
sponsibility for the military arrests.
The answer filed on behalf Of General
Chase was largely based upon the re-
cent decision Of the supreme court Of
Pennsylvania in case growing out Of
the anthracite coal strike of last year,
and known as the Wadsworth case. A
pTiFat- I'm the national guard named
WadswOFth. acting under orders from
his superior officer. shot and killed a
striker. He was prosecuted i'm the Grim
inal courts for murder and the case
was appealed TO the supreme court,
which a few months ago. eXonerated
him from responsibility for the killing.
