Keeps Close to hat
Point
Ma, XII This week is Exp -c'td 10 ftuc III,
Blu liz ie from IN" PRESENT
iiguteS.

Cotton yesterday on this market kept
close to eleven cents a pound and that
was the ruling price on this market.
The sales amount to 166 bales at from
1OA to II 1-16, while last year the figures
were 1913 bales at from 7A to 8 cents a
pound.
The market IN New York was dull and
heavy, but this seemed to have but little
effect on the local market, which was from
about II cents. The day was a quiet one.
All eyes are looking to December Sd,
when the government report is to be IS
sued. If this again shows a short crop
there is certain to be an advance in prices,
and there is a rumor hat the report will
show this.
The farmers who market here are set in
their minds as to eleven cents. AS long
as cotton brings that figure they Will sell,
but if there is a marked drop there will be
a halt.
All reports show a short crop in this
section, and no rush is expected, except a
sporadic one coming from a big and sud
den advance.
The Indications are that Hr this week
the prices will range from 10A to II IA
cents, but a sharp advance may come.
James r. Mitchell, Esq, of Winton, is
registered at the Marlborough and is here
on legal business. Mr.. Mitchell reports
that the farmers in his section have grown
an average crop this year, and that they
are getting 3 and 81 cents for their pea
nuts and II cents for cotton. A few Of
the farmers are holding their cotton ex-
pecting to realize fourteen cents in the
pound for it.

Tobacco Prices Improve.

The tobacco men OF Raleigh report that
all grades of tobacco are selling higher
than some weeks ago.
The greatest advance Is shown IN wrap
pprs and sales in the last few days have
been made as high as s45.
I. i the Opini on OF the buyers that this
is the best time for selling. as they DO not
think there viii be anything made ny

the increase last week and the farmers
who sold here seemed pleased at the IN
crease in price.

sioners some of them have made II known
that they were IL favor OF two dispe3-
saries instead of one. and, as We have
been informed, propose to establish Two

if the law permitted more than one dis
pensary, the board of aldermen alone
have the authority to order its estab-
lishment, and We respecttuliy4ask that you
will refuse to allow the establishment
Of more than one dispensary IN this
city
"a We desire further to call the at
tention Of your honorable body to the fact
that the Watts law provides that when
ever it shall become lawful under the
provisions of this act 10 establish a dis
pensary in any city or town, the gov
erning body body of said city or town
shall appoint three commissioners from
the voters of said city or town who IN
the election voted for said dispensaly.
whose duty It shall be to conduct said
dispensary under such rules and TegC-
lations and with such officers and en-
ployees as may be prescribed and allowed
by the governing body OF said city or

said commissioners and their officers and
employees"

that your honorable board carry out this

election was held and rescind the action

% We believe the dispensary as the

III its wisdom provided in the Watts law
that no person was eligible as commits

PETITION AND PROTEST.

Raleigh, N. c., NOV. 20. 1909
To The Honorable Board of Aldermen of
the City of Raleigh:
Gentlemen:
The undersigned, representing the Exc
cutive of the Anti-Saloon
League OF Raleigh, respectfully petition
your honorable body and represent
"a That in the campaign before the
election held under the Watts law in
this city on the 5th Of October last, it
was made clear and thoroughly under
stood by the voters of the city that only
one dlspensary would be established in
Raleigh in case the twentyfour saloons
then in the city were ordered closed by
the result Of the election. This was the
issue. and upon this issue they decided
in favor of one dispensary by a very large
majority.
GU The Watts law under which the
! election was held was intended to reeu-
late and restrain the manufacture and
sale OF Intoxicating liquors.; and as we
believe, permits the establishment of only
one dispensary IN the towns of the State
where the issue is submitted to the
! voters, and they decide that issue IL
the affirmative.

Honorable Board for the reason that since

Mrs. Julia A. Carney, who wrote Little

will be 50 years old the coming April, and
1t Is proposed that children be invited to
contribute each a cent for a testimonial to
be presented to her.
A girl student Of architectural designs

tory drawings of engine houses for the
New York fire department. The designs
show originality and forethought for prac-
ucal needs and convenience.
In the designing of covers for sheet music
and for selected editions OF composers
works. musical text books, etc, the young
women designers Of New York are taking
very respectable rank with artists s.of

$40 to SIS each.
A few years ago the most industrious In
V~estigation failed to discover a single in.
York able to support herself with her
artists labors, but today one hears on all
sides of woman's success in book cover
making. One young widow keeps herself
and her little boy in quite comfortable cir
cumstances through her book cover work
for publishers and book lovers who have
choice volumes bound to order. Some OF
her designs sell for SIS and SIS apiece.
Miss Elizabeth Jordan, the novelist, has
