Representative Hall, of Robson, was
in a very trying position the other day
before the Committee on Counties, Cities
and Towns on the question OF moving
the county seat of Robson from Lum-
berton to Pembroke. He had pledged
himself that he would not support any
bill to move the court house or change
the county line. At that time he did not
know of the movement to make Penn
broke the county seat. He comes from
the northern part of the county, where
the people favor the Pembroke move.
In this difficult position, when called on
by both sides before the committee, Mr.
Hall displayed great candor and loyalty.
While not denying his pledge, he stated
that his sympathies were with his own
people and he could not take active
steps to oppose them.

Trade Somewhat in Excess of the Previous Day, But It Was Limit

NEW YORK Jan. 2s.--The tone of today's stock market was altogether professional. Trading was somewhat in excess of the previ- ous day but was limited for the most part to the leading issues. number of favorable ling exchange and promise of an amicable so- lution of the Venezuelan situation were ig- nored as were also number of excellent rail road returns. St. Paul. however. was not in- cluded in this latter class, that road showing q decrease over S43,0o0 net for December. In point of activity and general interest. St. Paul was the feature of the early session. The stocks opened moderately strong in anticipa- ton of favorable action by the directors re- lowing an advance of over a point. brokers representing important interests sold freely and the stock closed with q fractional loss.

Asdei from the strength or Fries and the weakness of St. Paul there was no noteworthy feature in tho later session. Trading continued narrow and operations for London account were small and of an arbftrage character. The closing was irregular and dull. Foreign exchange continued inactive. The sup ply of remittances was rather better than usual, but the inquiry was not at all urgent. The market appears to have gone 50 far be- low the gold export level to render the use of metal remittances improbable. The situation is still modified. however. by several conflicting features which may develop in- tresting complications. almost any day, al- though 1t is generally believed that no accum- ulation of bills will be attempted by the Gov errment before the final negotiations for the transfer of the Panama Canal property have been completed.

ALBRITToNs PROLIFIC
Like the Sands of the Shore Their
 Race Has Run.

Barlow, (Fla J Letter in Savannah News.
 Some time ago the statement was made In some of the papers that 'ne Albritton family residing in this and the county adjoining on the south had the remark able record of 5000 souls as the :esult of marriage in four generations.
 This family is of Dutch descent, and the first one of whom there Is any defn ite history is Thomas H. Albritton, Sr., who was for many years resident of Pierce County. Ga.. and whose d:sth oc- cured in that county a short while be- fore the civil war. At the time of his death he was 104 years of age. He was married three times and twenty-six chill dren were born to his wives. Eighteen of his children were living at the t!me of the old mans death. These children all married and reared very large fam ilies
 All the eighteen children referred to are dead except three, the eldest of whom is Thomas H. Albritton, Jr, who will be s5 in April of the present year. His home is at Chicora, in Polk County, where he carries on a large Farming and stock business. doing his work himself. The descendants of this man number 174; his brother James 20; his brother Arthur l39. making T grand total for the three broth CTS of 563. The other fourteen members of this family reared very large fami- lies. and 1t is safe to conclude, accord ing to a statement made by a member of the Albritton family, that their de- scendants will easily average as many as the three mentioned above. There fore. it is conceded that the statement regarding the 5000 descendants was in the main correct. In fact the represent ative of this truly remarkable family quoted above mentions two brothers of T. H. Alhritton. Sr., both of whom reared large families. but as the exact figures cannot be had, they are thrown in for good measure.
 This family has been very prolific, as may be inferred from the statement. that in one of the homes of the family triplets were born three times in suc- cession. With the exception of three preachers, and two lawyers, there have never been any professional men from this family. All the others have been farmers and stock raisers

After last nights buying and the upturn of or points in Liverpool. should have had an advance of or points this morning. But instead of this. the market opened tame and hardly moved all the morning. After three hours hard work. May was selling at & 90 and e.sI as compared with S.94 last night and g. e4 sev- eral times during the day New Orleans did not enthuse very much and profit taking con- tinued SO large a scale that the market could hardly absorb all the stuff. The tone was strong enough far that was was con- cerned but outside buying continued to dis appoint everyone. Market needed buying or defs and there would have been quick ad- vance over cents this morning But brok- CTS stood around pit after opening without an order to bdy bale of cotton. With the stu- alton so strong, we confess our inability to account for this absence of speculation end speculative buying. Those working for an ad- vance seem to buy buy all the while and yet the market does not respond 1t should. Next week receipts run very light and this can easily cause setback. As long AS there fs no general speculation. would continue to take profits on every advance for the time be- ing. Nine cents is good price and receipts are 6 little larger than last year.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 2e.-Cabies today were fully responsive to our advance of yesterday and this had the effect of keeping the market up ito last nights figures As the price ad- yances to 9 cents, the bull element gains fur ther confidence. especially when receipts fail to make further gains; in fact, the backward ness of the cotton in making its appearance is causing little uneasiness big crop people who declare abiding faith in It's turn ing up later on in such big quantities as to simply stupify those who now entertain con trary views. The weather in the South today was quite warm, but further moisture re- ported and this. of course. will prevent the naturalization of the much-talked-o un- picked cotton. The month will close at a decided disappointment to bears. who looked for a big movement in November then pre- dicted 1t would show up in December then predicted it would appear in January and now prophecy that February will show the cor rectness of their position.

NEW ORLEANS Jan. 2e.-Iiverpool advices were not encouraging, therefore our market opened ll2 points lower. but advanced 3 shortly after on fresh buying Later in the session longs realizing. estimate absence of a speculative short interest caused decline of 59e points from top. making the net loss 4d5 points the day. While there was q good demand for spots today to fill up Janu- ary shipments. the trading was done on an easier basis than for several days past. The amount to be brought into sight for the week is estimated at about 275, ,000 against 27o 900 last year.. The visible supply for the week is expected to show large relative loss compared to last year. Otherwise speculat- ing is lacking; little or no disposition is shown by this element to enter the market above cents. The trade as a whole. however. continues very bullish and believes in higher prices ultimately. Mir.
