Goes HIGHER
A Quarter Past Eleven Was
the Price Struck
Yesterday.

Cotton took another sky trip yesterday
and the market reached the figure of
eleven and a quarter cents a pound, quite
pleasant for the cotton planters.
The prices for the day in Raleigh ranged
from 107s to 11A cents a pound and 286
bales of cotton were sold here. A year
ago, with the market at ! 11-16 to rs
there was sold III bales as the price then
was slightly advancing.
The week has been a good one for the
cotton farmer, as the price has hung
close around II cents, usually above that
figure. During the week there has been
sold here 1921 bales as against 687 bales
the same week last year, a great increase,
this being caused by the climb in price.
the crop being undoubtedly a short one.
The receipts OF the last three weeks
have materially increased the receipts for
this season. The prices for these weeks
have ranged upwards from ten cents and
the farmers who held for this price nave
| brought in the staple. The receipts to
date this season are $685. bales, against
S.26S bales last year, this demonstrating
Il short crop.
The market was steady yesterday, de
spite the fluctuations in futures and the
/! outlook Is for a firm and rising market
next week. although the cotton buyers
| here are skittish as 20 this, thinking that
there may be a drop.
The mill men are in the dumps. With
the raw material going up and selling at
over eleven cents they say the market for
their products IS inactive and that they
are not getting more than they received
when cotton was at 8 cents a pound.
Tho market and conditions. as viewed
by Mcssrs. Charles f. Johnson & Com
| ranr c14ton r9o,cha0 8S of palaiob &c uot
forth IN the following letter issued by the
firm Yesterday:
The price of cotton has this week adj
vanced sharply on what would appear
reasonable grounds, as crop reports from
all sections continue to force upon the
minds of the most conservative the prob
ability Of a yield. which will fall short
OF the worlds requirements. Should high
prices continue, and even higher prices
obtain later on, as predicted by many
the outlook would be alarming did we
not believe that both yarns and goods
must advance in price also. Articles man
! ~ufactured from cotton are relatively much
cheaped than other commodities. Yarns
and cotton goods should advance. and we
believe they will.
These are our views. We never advo
cate speculation in cotton. but it would
! certainly seem the wise course for the
spinner under all the circumstances not
To sell his goods ahead without providing
himself with the raw material out OF
which to manufacture them.
Some people are talking fifteen cents
cotton per pound for cotton next spring
and summer. This would seem utterly
foolish but for our experience of last
spring and summer. so all we can say Is
that while fifteen cents Is by no means
probable, yet 1t Is possible should the
crop prove much smaller than anticipated
and below the worlds requirements

KILLED TW|XT CARS.
Fate of a Negro In the
Seaboard Railway
Yard.

The cars crushing in on him brought
death to a negro employee Of the Seaboard
Air Line yesterday morning.
George McRae, a negro, about nineteen
years old, was the victim of the accident.
He was employed at the Seaboard Air
Line shops and just before seven O'Clock
yesterday morning was crushed by box cars
st the shifting yards of the Seaboard,
diving at Rex Hospital shortly after ten
O'Clock.
It was at a quarter to seven O'Clock
that he was seen going towards the
round house from the shops, stepping be-
tween two cars on a side track. No en-
CINE was attached to the cars, but as he
was between them the shifting engine
went against them to couple up, and Nc
Rae was caught and crushed.
The man was terribly mangled and
his body was dragged twelve feet or more
before the accident was discovered, the
body Of the negro being seen by a young
white man who at once Informed the en-
gineer, Mr.. Moses Crane.
The engine was stopped quickly and
the injured man was taken at once to Rex
HOSPITAL, where medical attention was
given by DR.. j. r. Roges and DR.. James
MCGEE. Jr. An examination showed that
the negro's left leg from the knee to the
hip was mutilated and crushed to such
an extent that to amputate the limb was
impossible, so it was dressed carefully
Besides his left limb being rendered alb
s~olutely useless, he had other bruises on
his body, which had been damned be
tween the cars. It was seen that death
must come and at 1926 McRae expired. :
He had been working for the Seaboard
