twenty-five members of the mob,
that lynched the negro Allen SINAI

The defendants were indicted
for murder in the second degree
AS the attorney general and grand

conviction than would an indict-

The indictment causes the case

Good Roads Needed.

The subject OF good roads cannot be
much longer kept in the background,
says Farm and Ranch. Trolley cars
from one town to another, rural tele-
phones and free rural mail delivery are
good enough in their way, but paved
country roads are necessary to the well
being and happiness Of the rural dis

Ware & LeIand,s Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 24.-Frosts were gen.
orally reported to-day. and this means
that the crop is done for in a great
many sections of the country. Some
points have had no frost, but the low
temperatures west of river and all
north, make the frost outlook rather
dubious. This frost is earlier than
usual on a moderate crop. and very
late one. Where ever frost has ap-
peared the prospect for top crop can
hardly be bright. After this moderate
crop, views are likely to gain more ad-
herents than before this season. But
as a. market factor. frosts are really
secondary. The feature of morning
was the war talk. Complications i'll
the Far East are feared. and this
brought out lot of long cotton. No
one seemed disposed to buy heavily,
though the number looking for lower
prices has dwindled to small proper
tons. Reports from the South indicate
a moderately less demand for spot cot
ton, owing to the advance in prices.
and this has caused realizing in the To-
cal market. The trading to-day was
active in the extreme, with the tone
even more feverish than yesterday.
The tendency of market is undoubted-
Iy reactionary, but this may not mean
much of a break in prices. With the
outlook so complicated, conservative
people are taking profits on any adj
vance towards 10 cents, and running
their chances of getting the cotton
back later on. Prices have had a good

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct 24.-To-day's market
was dull throughout. The appearance
of the bank statement caused recovery
from early depression but the move
ment was merely fractional and was
not maintained, the closing being ir-
regular and still very dull. The re-
serve item in the bank statement
proved a surprise, the decline in cash
resources being reported at only 3d.
900 in face of an apparent outward
movement of cash during the week
of between $3,OO0,0 900 and 100000.
Bank officials were at loss to ex-
plain the discrepancy but some of
them asserted that there had been con-
siderable receipts of currency from
Chicago and the West during the week
and the explanation was hazdrded that
this movement might have served to
offset the heavy outgo to Baltimore
and Pittsburg and to the cotton re-
gions. The failure of the customary
demand from the West for currency
at this season has been much COM
ented on in banking circles, but that
there should have been so consider
able a movement in a contrary direc-
ton in the middle of October is quite
Unprecedented. 1t was suggested as
possible that local trust companies had
made transfers of cash deposits to the
clearing house banks.
London's uneasy feeling over the war
outlook in the Far East had some
slight effect in the local market and
there was a repetition of rumors in
circulation for several days which
have been as often denied Of an in
stitution in trouble in st. Louis. There
was a deposit Of 100000 at the Sub
treasury to-day for telegraphic trans
fer to st. Louis. The demand for
bonds was as conspicuous as for sew
eral days and the number OF quota
lions on the tape for bonds exceeded
in number those for stocks for good

NAVAL STORES.

SPIRITS-The usual early closing
brought trading to a close at 2 O'Clock
to-day, hence transactions on this ac-
count were somewhat restricted. How,
ever, the disposition is to trade moder-
ately on Saturdays supplying only ur-
gent needs. 1t is usually a day for
winding up the weeks accounts. At
the Board of Trade the opening was
firm, at SEC, sales, 154 casks, and the

casks. The demand was fair during
the early hours, and the offerings TAX

COTTON FUTURES.

points to decline of l point on COW

general frosts through the central por-
lions of the belt. Receipts for the day
were also rather light, but cables were
