The VI cdding Fool.

There are RAINY Kinds Of fools in this
country. and tlcy are found in every
crowd. They ran to fires, they gather
1T dog dGuts. they rock boats and do
all sorts Of as,riue things. but a care
ful study OF The matter would prob.
ably show that fools are found in lar
ser numbers at weddings than any
where else in The world. They are
usually of the practical joke kind, the
most pesdiesous of all fools. Here is
case in point:
When Mir and Mrs. Clinton X. Kee-
lnr Of Syracuse, n. Y, turned from the
a,rr at which they had taken the 81
cred and solemn VOW the other dai
their loving friends hocked around
ilcm TO express their delight and PIE
sent their congratulations. suddenly
vaile the bride was being kissed by
the gcntcmaniy ushers and the groo'u
vas applying chaste salutes TO the lip
of the bridesmaids several strou-
Young men pOuuCti upon Inc happ.
couple and handculfed them together
The key was then thrown away, an
Mr. and Mrs. Eeeler were left to g.
apart when they happened to have
time and could induce somebody witt
\ file to operate. Owing TO the fac.
that they had arranged to leave on q
through train shortly after the cerc
mony they had TO go to the railway
station locked together. and in thai
prcdicament get aboard the car. OF
course the perpetrators of the Joke
considered this great fun. and if tn.
newly married couple exhibited an!
annoyance they were doubtless So,
down as poor, ungrateful wretchoS
who were incapable of approaching q
good thing.
The world patiently is waiting for
some public benefactor to come for
ward with an effective and availab0t
method Of putting the wedding foo
out of business

The Antiusury League.

The latest champion to enter the field
TO fight the trusts, the monopoies aud
the concentration of capital in general
is the Antiusury league, and by usur%
its promoters mean interest or any in
crease of capital for use over and
above its preservation intact. They
claim that increase is forbidden in the
Scriptures, has 10 ethical basis and is
contrary to sound economic laws They
insist that intelligent vital energy
alone produces wealth; that the term
productive captal' is misnomer.
and that capital cannot even preserve
itself and must be cared for and pro
tected
The leaguers hold that paying inter.
est is serving property and is no
different from the idolater who wor.
ships what his own fingers have
made" the work of another's fingers
being no better than your own. They
put up the theory that taking interest
or usury has always been the sin of
the heather and the Hebrew, but has
only been an open and respectable Gus
tom in Christendom since about 1852.
They hold this custom responsible for
producing the broad distance now rec
ognized between labor and capital,
piling up the vast fortunes and op-
pressing the poor
Usury is, they claim, responsible for
the debt habit, and they insist that if
no interest could be paid there would
be no private, incorporate, municipal
or national debt; that the race would
be free from the domination of ma
terial wealth and that wealth would
be servant and not the master.
They further claim that it is inimical
to our republican institutions, which
require the approximate equality of
our people in virtue, in intelligence and
in wealth, and that it is a hindrance
to the development of the independent,
self reliant manhood necessary in q
good citizen of republic.

Cotton Letter.
(special to News and Observer

New York. July 28.-The weekly wealth
er report was about as expected and very
similar to that OF last week. That is. a
general Improvement In the condition of
the crop is reported but 18th so many
qualifications that one could hardly call
the showing brilliant. Immediately fol-
lowing the document prices advanced 8
to 10 points. 1t will be remembered that
last weeks showing was very satisfactory
and the market started to go off a little
Then support appeared and before the
end of the week December had gained
some 80 points. The market a week ago
started from basis of $50 after the re-
port and today from a basis of $50 The
report indicated that while the crop had
improved and plants were in generally
good condition, still the betterment this
week was hardly as pronounced as was
the case a week ago, owing in great
measure to the need of moisture in por-
tions of the Central and Southwestern
districts This need of rainfall has not
been adequately relieved up to the pres
cnt time and as long as the condition
continues as it is, we may expect just
such advances in the price. There Is
every inducement to buy cotton on a de
cline and if it should happen that relief
would not be Forthcoming in the imme-
date future, we can look for the most
excited advance in new crop options that
we have had this season. AS a usual thing
it will be found that prices improve
somewhat during August, and it is not
likely that this season will prove any ex-
eeption We would, therefore, advise pur
chases of new crop options on all reces-
sions. believing that there is an advance
ahead of us.
Port receipts for today were estimated
at $50 to $50 bales. against 273 bales last
week. and 1854 bales last year.
