Delicate Surgical Operation Re-
stores Powers of Speech to
Burlington Boy
WAS INJURED IN BALL GAME
cIot of Blood Formed at Seat of Func-
ton of Speech and Trephinins Was
Resorted to, Removing the Cause
and Restoring the Nerve to Its Nor
NAL Condition.
Special to Times Republican.


Burlington. April 16. - Raymond
Grant can talk as well today as he eve,
could. The use of the organ of speech
| was restored as result of a delicate
burlington hospital. Young Grant is a
12-year- old South Hill boy. He was
injured while watching a baseball game.
A speedy liner driven into the crowd on
the side lines struck HIM on the side
| of the head and laid him out for two
hours. When he did recover conscious
ness he wouldn't talk and his parents
discovered before long ,fat it was be-
cause he couldn't.
AS soon as this odd feature of the
case manifested itself DR.. Sherman was
called and the young fellow was put
under treatment. The unusual circum-
stances resulting from the blow from
the baseball has aroused the attention
of the medical frNterni.y all over the
state. Several days after the injury had
been received the boy developed q ten
dency TO spasms and during last week
they occurred at frequent intervals. He
was obviously suffering so much that II
vas deemed necessary to adopt heroic
measures for his relief.
It was supposed that the blow on the
boys head had produced conclusion
on the opposite side of the brain where
the seat of the function of speech is
known to lie. A clot of blood formed
between the cerebral tissue and the
skull was the cause of all the trouble. In
less severe accidents OF the kind the
blood has been known to be absorbed
in the course of two or three days.
The operation performed on the boy
is known as trephining. On the left
side of the head a small button OF bone
was sawed out, measuring scarcely an
inch in diameter. The cut was located
Just above the place in the brain known
TO be the center of the organ of speech
When the bone was lifted from the
brain the troublesome clct of blood was
exposed to view. 1t was removed, the
little button replaced in position and
the scalp sewed together. The whole
operation, tho difficult one and re-
quiring the greatest care, was per-
formed quickly, the boy being under
anasthesia but a short time.
Subsequent to the operation the con-
dition of the patient was watched with
much interest and no little anxiety His
recovery was rapid and most gratifying
to every one interested in the case.
Yesterday he recovered the faculty of
speech completely and IS apparently in
Il normal condition today. there having
beer no recurrence of the spasms

FURRY IN SEPTEMBER.
Total Gain of 15O Points in Option
 Yesterday.

New York. Sept. 29.-Violent as were the advances fin September cotton yes terday, today they were surpassed when that option in the local market was forced up by the urgency of the eleventh hour shorts and the aggressive attitude of the New Orleans bull leader. Open- ing at Il 70 last nights closing, it sold at 12 cents on the call. After that it ad- vanced 10 and 15 points at time until IS cents was reached. Pausing for a moment 1t again moved up, touching 13.0S, compared with 11.12, the closing price of last Saturday. This represents an ad- vance of 196 points for the two days, or about 9.80 a bale.
 The extent of the short interest that has brought about the record-breaking movement can only be guessed at, but fl is not thought to have been very ex- tensive Rumors have been circulated both today and yesterday of private set dement's at the high prices and most in the trade believe the furry pretty well ever The advance in September had naturally alarmed shorts in the other po- sitions but the advancing tendency has been checked by the high movement and easier Southern spot markets and this morning months later than September ruIed more or less irregular, but on the average a little under last nights clos ing. .
 The excitement attending the efforts of the September shorts to even up their commitments before noon tomorrow when trading in that option ceases did not measureably abate as the session pro- gressed, though the fluctuations after midday were naturally less violent. At tbe highest september sold at 1920 and closed at that figure, or at a net advance of 150 points.
 The purely speculative nature of the development in September was evident by the balance of the lists which In spite of rather less favorable crop weather and a bullish crop report at midday continued to iuctuate below last nnsls' me CLOS inc wac hareIy steady at a net decline of to 1s points. Sales estimated at 4cO,- 900 bales.
