Woman's FOrtnightly Club.

The fourth regular meeting of the
Woman's Fortnightly club Of Palatka
was held in the club rooms Friday No
vember 18th.
Responses to the roll call showed the
usual number of members In their ac-
customed places after their summer
travels, with the years work well under
way.
Mrs. j. a. HaughtOn presided most
efficiently as leader of the literary pro-
gramme, which, pursuant to The Bay
View scheme for 1902 and 1903, adopted
by the club for this year was the Revo-
lutionary period.
The interest and enthusiasm mani
tested in the subject attested those
present true daughters of the heroes OF
that history making epoch. The COM
ing of night alone brought them back
from a participation in those strenuous
days to the present.
"By the name that you inherit,
By the suffering you recall,
Cherish the fraternal spirit;
Love your country first of all.

Ex-Gov. Hogg on the stump

EX-GOV. HOgg on the stump
Ex-Gov. James S. Hogg, the far
mer politician of Texas, has been
making some campaign speeches in
the interest of Jno. M. Pinkney for
congress. At Novasota last Monday
he got close attention. When Mr.
Hogg is feeling good and talking to
big crowd there is generally some
thing said worth hearing.
Here are some of the good things
he got off:
ga common liar in community is
benefit. He is like the sewer that
carries off the filth. A community
liar carries away in his mouth all
the bad things said in the COM
munlty,
/ hold that no man produces
wealth except the man who scratches
the earth or deals in the earth's pro-
ducts.
The girls of the country have been
alone in the matter of title hunting,
but the boys will want them after a
while. Then we will have centrali-
zation of power and a big standing
army"
Asked about his views on the race
question, he answered. "That ques-
tion is up north. We have no race
question here unless the people
make blame fools of themselves"
1--WE have a government in this
country that spent five years whip
ping us because we thought we had
a right to secede, yet but few days
ago this same government recognized
Panama before the revolution was
three days old.
"The prohibition question is a
moral and not political question.
If sentiment is strong enough in q
community to vote local option, you
can enforce it in that community
But if the entire state should go pro-
hibition, you could not enforce it in
those communities where sentiment
is against it,"

Still Has His Nerve.

Governor William Tecums e E
Sherman Jennings has sent to the
News an original copy of his ThaDIs-
giving proclamation fresh from the
forge of the state blacksmith shop.
Last year the News published the
executive call to prayer, not SO much
for what was said, as for thepungram-
matical way his excellency said it.
But this paper 'begs to be excused
from reproducing this years procla-
nation. It's too rich in sanctimoni-
Gus slop. For fact, it reads more
like an cpistle of Dowie to the uncir-
cumcised hoodoos than anything is
sued since the New York raid of that
self-cOnfessed bastard and personally
elected apostle Of whiskers and gen
eral uncouthness. Reduced to its
last analyses the proclamation could
be taken fof one of two things, i, e.,
an epitome of political pharaseeism
and hypocracy, or the drivel of a
fanatical religious plugger. That the
author of the screed has the nerve to
push his candidacy for the United
States Senate and ask the sutfrages
ef a sane people will not surprise
those who are at all acquainted with
the ways of fakirs-political, religi-
Gus or otherwise. When the Cover
nor of great commonwealth calls
upon the people to be thankful for
blessings "abundantly RESTORED
upon us, its time to advise the rising
generation that in order to become
politically great all that's needed is a
cast iron nerve coupled to an infant
class education. o..

sharp advance of % points in the New
Orleans market today, which caused be-
lated shorts here to run to cover, but
there was no urgent demand for any OPP
ton except August, which advanced to
$50. There was heavy selling of July,
by spot interests and the late months
were sold by fertilizer people and the
South generally. The bull crowd sup
piled the demand for May in order to
prevent cotton being pointed to New
York at this time. The New Orleans
market has simply run away but the
sensational advances have caused the &C
emulation OF large lines of long cotton
by Spectators whose accounts arc
scantily margined and there are so many
pyramided accounts in the market now
that slightest bolt from the blue would
precipitate a general selling movement,
and cause a sharp decline. August cot
ton at 2 "a cents at this season of the
year Is the most attractive sale accord
ing to conservative people, that has been
seen in the recollection of the Oldest
operators Cotton has advanced beyond
a point where spinners and exporter can
buy. and Il is simply an affair of over
done specuations.

being brought together. The position
daily grows more unfortunate for those
who failed to cover and it begins to look
as though high prices would be reached
before the last short settles. There were
rumors of the covering by mill owner
of some seven thousand bales Of cotton
hedged on May, and the transaction in
voved the loss of a very handsome fig
ure. But things in New York are very
quiet compared with New Orleans, with
May at 1915, July 1890 and August at
1910. AS far as weather adVices were
concerned the situation today was some
what better Beneficial rains were re-
ported in nearly every section of tho
cotton belt and the crop outlook improved
to corresponding degree. The advance
in the summer months, however, keeps
the fall months firm, and October again
sold at sac. 1t would be the part CT f.
nancial suicide to attempt short selling
in anything on the list, at least, until this
May business is out OF the way.
Cotton futures ranged today as fol-
lows:

New York, May Manipulating in
New Orleans continues on the grand
scale. First, July was advanced to 1890
where, meeting free selling by interests
supposed TO be backed by actual cot
ton, there was a recoil As soon as
resistance in this quarter was felt the
booming process was abandoned on July
but, after a period of rest, August sud
denly jumped into prominence and 1914
was reached, a gain of 81 points since
yesterday. Then September was taken
UP and in leaps of 8 to A points at a
time. was run up to 1927, or 20 points
higher than last night. Other months
could rot entirely escape the effect but
they advanced only to points dur
ing the wild excitement. In this mar
ket the situation did not depart much
from the normal. There was of course
considerable Suppressed excitement but
when shorts began bidding eagerly for
July, there was an -ldant supply for
the coming 1915, and it was said that
the bull clique was selling to prevent
bear panic. However, that may be,
the contrast Of July selling at l0.15 in
New York and 1890 in New Orleans is
sufficient to show the extent of the ma
n;nulations To make such an advance
either healthy or lasting there must be
a demand for spot cotton at these prices
from spinners not from parties who are
buying spots on. TO deliver on futures
whenever a new high level is forced. The
aggressive manipulation Al New Orleans
seems designed to drive in 81 all weak
shorts and thus give bulls chance TO
unload some of their holdings in that
market, and so reduce their line. Furth-
er, no doubt. it is calculated that New
York and New Orleans will respond and
in the broader fields, the clique could
sell a much larger line than in New
Orleans and thus have their holdings fully
hedged and their profits measurably Sc
cured, before irrisistibly favorable new
crop conditions can develop or a compari-
son with last year. Small movement for
the next two weeks give the situation
a far less bullish outlook. When such
vigorous manipulation is under way, it is
frequently accompanied by secret nego-
tiations with big short interests looking
to compromise, the completing of which

Futures were active today with the ad-

Both the New York and the Liverpool
markets were followers of New Orleans
and Liverpool reluctantly allowed fair

of greatly strengthening the local mar
ket. At the opening of July was eight

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May Prices went down
ward on the Stock Exchange today with
out any very clear reason, although the
theories current for the decline took d
wide range over the whole financial field
on the part of the board room traders
who had the market to themselves The
simple explanation seems to be that these
professional operators who have been
buying and bidding up stocks to a mod
crate extent during the week find them
selves with little company and feel that
they have reached the limits of their
courage in speculative commitments. The
process of selling to take profits finds as
narrow participation in the market as
that during tho advance. The factor
which came in for most discussion today
in seeking an explanation for the decline
was the problem of the foreign exchange
and possible gold exports. Tho develop
ments in connection with the new Trans
vaal loan, for which subscriptions were
opened today were of the utmost sgnifi-
canoe as bearing on the exchange ques-
ton. The terms of the loan are much
as expected and the strength of sterling
reflected the continued direction of funds
towards London. Subscriptions for
American account are small but the ma
turity of foreign loans in this market
makes the London pressure for money
effective in New York. Meantime the
question of old exports is still open. An
ether cause to which the days depression
iS attributed was the slump In the sink
ibg fund bonds of the United States
Ship building Company. These bonds
have never had more than nominal
market, but their last sale price on the
exchange was best They were offered
at that price TODAY and then ut success
sjve concessions as large as five per cent
at time Sales were made as low as
~. No explanation of this incident was
offered. The activity of the bear faction
was apparent In the circulation OF ru
mors of the serious illness of con-
spicuous operator in stocks and also ir
vague assertions of a coming bond Is
sue by Western railroad for as mucf
as $35, 100000 Neither of these rumors

were wholly ignored. There was a much
greater show of authority today for as
sertions that the suspended Rock Island
and st. Louis and San Francisco deal
was about to be consummatd The mar
ket closed in fact with a general con
viction that an announcement was imm-
nent. The decided liquidation in the
wheat market was calculated to relieve
any acute fears of damage to that crop
by last weeks weather, but the Changers
and Paciflcs were notably affected by the
late liquidation. The weakness Of the
foundry iron market and reports of Ia
Dor disputes on the great Northern and
the Southern Railway may have had some
influence in depressing the market. The
