That David was tolerated on Philistine soil and even given city to live in. should not seem incredible to any, It was not because the Philistines loved David, but because they hated Saul. It was merely matter of policy. They recognized David as the thorn in Saul g side. and cultivated him on purpose to dis 'ress and annoy a mighty man of valor of whom they were desperately afraid.

Five Conductors Fired.

Considerable consternation has been created by the dismissal in the past four or five weeks of conductors on the Frisco System, live men in all having been re- lieved from duty. Two of the men turned out were passenger conductors and have been with the road before the Memphis Birmingham was constructed. No req sons were given for the dismissal of the men and there is much surprise at the turn of matters. Efforts are being made to have the men relnstated but the pros- poets are not good. New men are now being broken in on the passenger work. In railroad circles here the matter has caused much talk, no such move having been made in this section in some time.

DISTINGUISHED BROTHERS III
General R. c. Jones and Dr. Paul
 Jones Very Sick.

Camden, Sept. n.-(Special.) .)-General Richard Charming oJnes, one of Alaba- mas foremost citizens; ex-President of the State University and member of the late Constitutional Convention, Is criti- cally i'll at his home here, and Is not ex- pected to recover General oJnes is suf- fering from pneumonia.
 Dr. Paul Jones, and a distinguished physician, is also very i'll and his recovery is considered doubtful.
 General Jones is the son of the late John c. Jones and wife. Mary Ann Walker. He was born in Virginia April F, 1S41, and Is a cousin of United States District Judge Thomas Goode Jones. He entered the University of Alabama in 1856, where he graduated with the A. B.. degree in 1859. He was first lieutenant of Company c, 4th Alabama infantry, c. s. A., and adjutant general of the Alabama State troops; State Senator from Wilcox County in 1S90-97; was elect ed a member of the Constitutional Con- vention in 1901, and both before and after his term as president of the State Uni versity he practiced law at Camden. On October 19 1864, he was married to Stella Hamilton Boykin, He received his A. M degree causa honorie, and LI4. D. in 1901.
 General Jones Is a representative of the highest type of the "old schoor' Southern gentleman. His merits were only exceeded by his innate modesty, but in the face of the latter virtue, he was often called upon to do his State and county much service. He always res- bonded to these drafts upon his patriot ism with rare fidelity and ability, both in peace and in war.
 Thelast ten days dry weather with an occasional stiff breeze has caused the once bright prospect to fade into gloomy out look for the farmers of this section unless the price of cotton ranges high. Many | farmers here claim the first picking will be the bulk of the cotton crop on up lands, and that the low lands have a big weed with very little fruit. The cater pillar has done no serious damage to cot ton, but the rust and dry weather has shortened the crop considerably. | A building boom has struck Camden and there Is not an idle carpenter in the | town.

Clarke Dies of Injuries.

Bud Clarke, the miner of Walker coun- ty, who had terrific fall from a fast moving passenger train on the Frlsco system, tust after having a desperate fight with Jeff Van Horne, another min CT, died this morning in an infirmary. The fight and dash from the moving train took place Sept. 3, and since then Clarke has been in the infirmary unconscious from the terrible blow he received when he landed head foremost on the ground The body was turned over to an undertaking establishment and is being prepared for burial.
 Van Horn, who engaged in the fight with Clarke, just before the latter went off the train on the awful plunge, was arrested immediately by Sheriff Jack Moore. of Walker county, who happened to be on the train at the time of the trou' ble. and he was carried to the county jaii at Jasper. The Circuit Court is now in session at Jasper. and the affair will in all probability. be thoroughly investi' gated.

David was at least a pleasant hammered guerilla, if we must admit he lived the life of freebooting marauder. Witness his twice sparing the life of Saul: his refusal to drink the water which had been gotten at the risk of life: his lament for Saul and Jonathan; his provision for his aged parents; his treatment of SauPs descendants.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept 9.-The stock market
today was even dulier and less interest
ing than at any time for the past fort
night Price movements were narrow
and without meaning, in fact, the mar
ket as whole was devoid OF special lea
ture and operations were almost wholly
professional. There was no very decided
pressure to SELL neither was there even
a semblance of investment buying. Trad
ers were ION the fence, committed to
neither side, but rather hopeful of a
rally The news of the day was not OF
an encouraging character Aside from
the increasing seriousness of affairs IN
eastern Europe, which brought about d
further decline in British consols the de
cision of Umpire Wright favorlng the
hard coal operators and reports OF a
probable strike among the Colorado coal
miners was quite sufficient to check any
trading that might otherwise have deyel-
oped. The banks continue to lose cur
rency heavily to the interior. Several
large shipments were made West and
South today, indications pointing to d
heavy weeks movement, considerably IL
excess perhaps of that reported a week
ago. The rates for foreign exchanges were
practically unchanged from those OF yes
terday. The days business was limited
to the better known railway shares and
the fractions the latter showing marked

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 9.-Spot cotton
remains quiet and firm to sell. The low
est price at which middhng cotton has
been sold in this section was at Weather
nv Miss, where thirty bales OF new cot
ton sold at an average OF IL lie per
pound Sales today 1850 bales, lnclud-
ing 500 to arrive. The cotton exchange
committee reduced quotations an eighth
on all grades.
The future market opened steady and
quiet with prices from Z to 10 points
higher than the close on yesterday The
better opening was caused by more favor
able Liverpool cables than were expected
The bears again had things their own
way and at one time in the earlier hours
had prices from to II points lower
than the close of yesterday and about
20 points lower than the highest figures
of the morning. 1t Is now the general
opinion that an immense short interest
exists In the trading of the morning
October first advanced nine points above
the close of yesterday to 9.56, then de-
clined to 9.35 and recovered to 9.46; De-
cember advanced IL points to 9.45, declined
to 9.2S Later in the day a buying move
ment set in which carried prices up grad
ually to the close when the list for all
positions except September showed net
gains of 13 to Is points.

New York, Sept 9.-The market is suf-
fering from the indiscretions of the two
y, ointment operators recently active in
September and October deliveries A de
c;ded change of attitude on the part of
professionals was noticeable at one time
yesterday, and large quantity of short
cotton was covered. 1t looked as though
something better might be expected in
the immediate future. But shortly after
midday the entire trade appeared to be
seized with a desire to SELL prices broke
sharply and this situation prevailed again
this morning. The number of traders
who had courage enough to buy any cot
ton proved exceedingly limited. Senti-
n.ent is unquestionably bearish in the
extreme and it is almost too easy to
make money shorting cotton. When it is
considered that prices have had de-
cline of a cent a pound, thai the crop is
only just beginning to come on the mar
ket, and no one will know anything about
the yield until after the d,te of frosts.
it would seem as though discretion al
this time was the better Iart of valor
With December and January selling

situation is different from that existing
at 1915. But the people who forced
prices SAC higher than hey had any
business to go, have undoubtedly lost

suffering has caused decentralization. 1t

Bears Make Several Attacks
on the Market.
COTTON CLOSES HIGHER

New York, Sept. 9.-Buyers of dry
to operate and the disposition of sellers
is just as great to hold firmly for the
top of the market. Where it is necessary
to have the goods as is the case IN the
majority of cases asking prices are be-
ing placed, but more of tendency to
await developments In the raw cotton
market is evidenced.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Sept 9.-The cotton mar.
ket was three-fourths as active as yes,
terday, sales came to 100000 bales. The
general tendency of prices was upward
although several onslaughs were made
by the bear party to further undermine
the holdings of the leading longs. The
opening call developed firm market at
an advance of one to six points; this
Improvement was soon increased to 3 to Z
points after which there was break OF
z to Is points and then a sharp rally OF
Is to % points from the lowest figures
with the market finally very steady at
a net gain of to 12>points. The fiuctua-
lions In prices were almost entirely an
affair of speculation. News was scarce
and of an Indifferent quality. The bull
contingent circulated reports of boil
weevil damage in Texas and claimed that
an unusually large short interest had
been accumulated on the late decline.
This led to covering on the part OF the
local talent supplemented by renewed
investment demand, it also being openly
asserted that the leading long interest
remained intact and that 1T would con-
tinue to do so on the claim that the move
ment must fall short of spinners' require
ments for some time to come; that the
effect of the decline has resulted IN g
better buying basis with receipts of cot
ton adding too slowly to the volume OF
the movement in view of the uncertain
ties of the weather and the possibility
of an early frost. Reports from Texas
are still considerably mixed with most
advances indicating favorable weather
with accounts exaggerated as to boil
weevil damage and receipts rapidly IN
ereasing.
