NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 7.--The spot cotton market was easier and lower with limited demand. The few sales made were at L6%c lower than Saturdays board figures. Sales L. $50 bales. including $50 to arrive; delivered on contracts. 800. Quotations Kc lower
 Futures at the opening were from l4 to " points lower, influenced by New York and Iiv- erpool Private wire houses were heavy sellers | at the opening. Their selling was taken to be profit taking by longs who were getting out in anticipation Of Q slump. There was also some short selling. some of which was said to
 come from New York. One of the most notice able features was the absence of the great vol
 ume of buying orders from the country that has characterized the market every day for some time. Country longs were profit takers to some extent but the market showed great strength under the selling recovering time and again after wide slumps from the opening figures These recoveries were aided by profit taking by shorts. who scalped the market freely. In the midst of heavy liquidation soon after the opening prominent bull leader SUD- ported the market by bidding I2 50 for 1000 Januarys. In the trading January. advanced
 g points above the opening to I252 and fell on to l2. lS; March gained points to I2eI and declined to l2.46; May advanced 8 points to l2.e3 and fell to i2.57; July advanced s points to Sc and dropped to I264 Prices | showed quick and fairly wide fiuctuations At all times however, they were we'll below the closing of Saturday. The trading was heavy. The market closed easy and within a point or two of the lowest level of the day Net losses
 were January A2 and the other positions 400 4l points.

brings about a gathering of a
certain element of white peo-
pie and "niggers" that guar
antees business in our courts
sooner or later. We are no
friends of gambling when it is
conducted by men who even
follow it as a business, or for
pleasure, and conduct it in a
quiet manner, and we do hon
estly and candidly believe that,
if there is to be license issued
for the operation of this game,
there should be no hesitancy
on the part of our city officials
in issuing them to the poker
player, the operator of the
faro game or the operator of
the roulette wheel. When those
licenses are granted, set a slot
machine against each lamp
post, and across each road en-
tering the city suspend a large
sign to read, WIDE OPEN.

Now that the Masons have
decided to build a home in this
city, and also an opera-house
that will not only be a credit
to our city, but to any city of
three times our population, the
general opinion is that the
Masonic order has a bank ac-
count which is unlimited,
and all they have to do is to
select the plan of the archi-
tect, let the contract, and,
when the work is completed,
give a check for the amount,
and charge it up as pin money.
Far from this. We are told
by some of the leading men,
bers of the order that the
building is to be erected by
popular subscription among
their members, and while con-
tribution will not be generally
solicited except among their
members, such business
men and people on the outside
as have an interest in the
improving of the town, and
benefit that all will receive
from the erecting of it, are at
perfect liberty to make con-
tributions, and such will be
greatly appreciated. Would
it not be a good idea for some
business man or citizen, not a
member of the order, to call
on the business men and prop
erty-owners of the city, and
give them an opportunity to
assist in, and insure the erect
ing of the building at an
early date? We do not believe
that there is anyone of either
class who would not feel that
it is to his interest to
give, and give literally to-
wards it.

A Burgin man was chased
for two miles one night last
week by a wild beast, which
he describes as being as large
as a calf, and with eyes of
fire, and which ceased the pur-
suit of the man on horse when
frightened off by the brightly
lighted city of Burgin. No
such fright would have put
stop to the chase near our city,
but the rider could have
brought the beast on into
town and lost him in the dark
ness.

WIDE OPEN"

men who enjoy a little game OF
draw-poker occasionally have
to gather together like sneak
thieves, going up and down
every side street in the city,
up and down stairs and then
into some dark and dreary
hole in the wall to spend a
few hours at their game, only
to learn after the game is
started that they have been
watched with an eagle eye,
and, if not arrested then and
there, their names are report
ed to the grand jury and they
are indicted and brought into
court and fined twenty-five or
fifty dollars, when we have,
right here on Main street,
gaming room in which more
money is won and lost in a
day than was ever lost over
any poker table in the city.
Again, when these poker play
ers have a game, it is conduct
ed in a most quiet manner; no
one but the players are per-
mitted in the room; no drunk
en- men are there to use pro-
fame language, nor little boys
present to learn gambling. Is
there a boy in this city, is
there a man in this city or, in
fact, a lady who has not heard,
even from the sidewalks, men
cry out, nicke,-e-do." or
nickel-e-don't?" These bet
tors are, as a rule, ''niggers"
and boys who have only small
amounts to gamble with, while
older ones cry out their will
lingness to wager anywhere
from two to twenty dollars.
On Monday, while passing
this place, l heard one man
cry out, III bet any S. of a
b. twenty dollars to fifteen
that l can knock a baby"
Now, is not that nice lam
guage for your mother, sister,
wife, daughter or little boy to
listen to while walking the
along the main thoroughfare
of our little city? Boys are
attracted to this place by the
music and excitement of bet
ting, and, try as hard as he
may to keep the little fellows
out, the manager finds that
they will mix up with the
crowd and bet their nickels on
the fall of one of the babies.
Personally, we like the man.

no desire to do him an injus.
