The newspapers Of the county have
recently contained, feferspces 4o'swhat
w. T Stead, the noted newspaper cor.
respondent, calls "the latest outrage
perpetrated upon the moral sense OF
mankind" This applies to the decision
to impose upon the inhabitants Of India
one.half the cost of maintaining in South
Africa a British garrison. Mr.. Stead
declares that before the late war a garri-
son of 5000 men was ample to keep the
British flag flying in tat section Of the
world and he adds that after spending
200, 900, 900 sterling and killing 10000
men, 10000 children and 5000 women,
it is now discovered that flags are un.
safe unless South Africa is permanently
garrisoned by 5000 men.

To Whom it May Concern:
1t may be somewhat unusual for the
officials Ct town to take the trouble to
give a letter OF recommendation to tray
cling show or circus passing over the
country, but in this instance, in which
the proprietors and the managers are
perfect gentlemen, and everything in con-
nection with the aggregation Of very
high order, We take pleasure in recon-
mending to the public Campbell Bros
show.
They gave two exhibitions here yester-
day, and more orderly, better conducted
and pleasant entertainment could not be
afforded.
If the Campbell Bros. know it, no skin
games of any kind are permitted, but
everything is fair and orderly, and for
this reason we commend them to the
public wherever they may 60.
Very respectfully,
LESTER WALKER, Mayor,
r. III. LANGFoRD, Marshal.

WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Old Warehouse At Foot Of II Street Burned
Friday Afternoon.

About 3 80 Friday afternoon fire was
discovered on the roof Of the old Wealth.
erwax warehouse, at the foot of H street,
and the flames had got under such head.
way by the time the fire department
arrived that the building was totally
destroyed.
The hose carts and hook and ladder
truck were on the scene within a few
minutes after the alarm was rurg, and
the steam engine was hauled out Of the
engine house in remarkably short time,
but, when the sawdust street was reach.
ed, the team was unable to pull it, so
that the steamer was long time in
reaching the fire. After it arrived there
was delay in getting stream from it,
owing to green stoker having smoth-
cred the fire, showing plainly the neces-
sity for paid member Of the depart
nent to act as stoker, who will be
familiar with the machine. The city
has too much money in this engine, and
too much property depends upon its act
ing quickly to justify hesitating at the
cost of another man to run it. In this
ance, no harm was done, as it was
impos sible to have saved the building,
and the hose carts We're sufficient to
prevent the flames igniting any other
buildings.
The fire originated from the open fire
pit of the Anderson & Middleton mill,
which, no doubt, also caused the loss OF
the cannery few months ago, and it is
now probable that the authorities will
require this dangerous fire to be enclosed.
The folly of the city in giving away the
streets to the water front was fully
demonstrated on this occasion, the steam
engine being useless unless it can reach
the water front, and there is not street
in the city open to the river between G
street and the Western mill.
The burned building belonged to the
Anderson & Middleton Mill Co., and it
contained number OF fish nets and
other gear belonging to the American
Fisheries Co., and about $4,000 worth of
sails and other ship rigging from the
wrecked bark Ernest Reyer, belonging
to NJ. r. Sherwood, upon which there
was no insurance.

cothran G. Co.'S Cotton Letter.
Bv Gilbert Relay.

By Gilbert &Clay.
New York, August 13.-Prices moved
about in an aimless and uninteresting
fashion throughout the day Operators
who sold shortly before the close last
night on the report that ten bales of cotton
had been picked and ginned In one of
the southern counties of Texas, failed to
follow up their aggressiveness this morn
ing and seemed more inclined to take in
short cotton on any decline than to SELL
AS a result of the covering the market
failed to decline very much and when 1t
was reported that sales Of spot cotton In
Liverpool amounted TO 5000 bales, an adj
vance of several points took place In the
immediate positions.
New England bought September from
1912 to 1882, and there was enough cot
ton wanted and quietly absorbed by spin
ners to hold prices. On the other hand
crop accounts continued very favorable
and the south sold cotton steadily. 1t is
entirely too early in the season for the
average operator to assume a definite
stand on the market and not until the cot
ton crop is moderately we'll assured will
selling be in sufficient volume and
strength to cause a break. Any decline

at this season. in view of the condition
surrounding cotton industry must be a
point at time and there will be no oppo-
sition to any attempt to break Decem-
Der for some weeks to come.
Under the circumstances we see nothing
in the outlook to change our views Of
the cotton market. It is altogether too
risky to sell cotton short and on the hand
prices are very high and we have growing
what is likely to prove the best crop the
south has ever raised. For these reasons
the policy of buying on declines only and
selling on many rallies Is likely to prove
the most advantageous to customers.
