1T HELD ITS OWN
Cotton Sold at Twelve
and a Half
The Future Market Went off Scme
Points and the Market Here
Closed Weak.

Though the future market yesterday
showed that an effort was being made to
thump cotton, it held it's own, yesterday
on the local spot market.
The prices here ranged from Il to Il IL
cents and the average was at II IA cents
4 pound, the same as that OF Saturday.
Though these prices were maintained It
was not on a strong market for at the
close of the day the finish was weak.
The sales here yesterday amounted TO
Ill bales as against 81 the same day last
year when the figures paid for cotton
were rs to Z 1915 cents q. pound. The
men who brought cotton here seemed
pleased with the prices they obtained, but
the general remark was there is but lit
tie cotton left in the county"
The question as 10 the size OF the crop
is beginning to be heard again and views
are being presented which combat The
government bureau report. A cotton man
OF Raleigh in talking of this yesterday
called attention 10 the estimate Of The
crop made by 169 members Of the New
York Cotton Echange and sent out On
November 81.
The maximum number Of bales named
in these estimates is 11,500,000 bales, the
minimum being 9,875,000 bales, the totals
making an average of 10,72i eco bales. IN
these estimates twenty-three of the ga
men Tut the figures ct eleven million
and over while only two put the figures
at less than ter million, these being
Mr.. Atwood Violet, whose figures are
9,S75,0G0 and Mr.. D. j. Suly, whose fig
Uros are 1900, coo. Here are some othcr
estimates made by men known in the
State: r. II. Rou2trce, 10,.51,C00; j. M.
Aver, 0,755, 900, md Henry Clews, TO-
10000, the most popular figure. Tho
highest estimates Of 11,50O,CC0 bales were
made by Mr. z. NJ. y ED ard Mr.. l.
Maudebaum
The condition of The market is lever
III and it is to be expected that Ine-c
may be occasional setb2cks, but the con
dtion of the market is decidedly bullish
nd it does not seem possible that the
efforts of the bears will be able to make
any permanent set back.
The cotton mill men are gloomy over
the situation and the meeting in Char
lotte OF mill representatives today is
looked forward to with great interest.
1t is expected, that they may recommend
some curtailment Of production, but any
determination to restrict the manufacture
is not going to increase tire size Of the
crop, and it is the small crop that has
sent prices up.
A number Ct cotton nil men were n
consultation here yesterday and Raleigh
viii re represented at the meeting in
Charlotte. There was a meeting of the
directors of ,hc Cara!eigh Cotton Mills
here yesterday, and after the meeting
Mr.. Ashley Horne said that Mr. A. A.
Thompson would attend the meeting as
representative cf the uGYaieigh mills.

RUTH IS RELEASED
Author of Alleged OBJ
scene Literature Free
He Received Letter Yesterday From
Third Assistant Postmaster
General Edwin c.
Madden.

T. L. Ruth, who has been in Jail sew
eral weeks awaiting trial at the January
term Of Wake Superior Court, received a
package and communication from the
United States Postoffice Department yes
terday morning. News and Observer
reporter was present and asked to see the
letter, which read as follows:
"The enclosed printed book, submitted
with your communication Of the 28th ulti-
mo, is third-class matter, and when sent
in the mails ursealed is chargeable with
postage at the rate of one cent per two
ounces or fraction thereof
Respectfully,
EDWIN c. MADDEN.
Third Assist. Postmaster Gen"
Asked what the meaning of the letter
was, Ruth replied Last Monday l sent
to the United States Postmaster General
my book, MY Own Life as an Outcast,"
with a letter to him stating that L desired
him to write me whether it was legal or
illegal. You see the letter.
Ruth was tried by the mayor several
weeks previous for selling obscene liter
iluIc he was lOuIu guilty anu DDun't
over to court under bond, which he was
unable to give, and was sent to jail
During the time he has been confined
the charitable organization of Raleigh
has endeavored to secure his release on
the ground that the man was crazy. 1t
failed. Various other charitably inclined
citizens of Raleigh have made efforts in
behalf of the prisoner but not until the
letter from the Postoffice Department was
there any success.
The letter was taken directly to Mayor
Powell, and after reading it carefully he
went to the county Jail and told Ruth to
sign a personal bond of 500, which was
practically the same as being released on
reCogniZance.
Ruth thanked the mayor heartily and
sincerely for giving him liberty and de-
clare1 that before he ever attempted to
sell another one of his books he would re-
write it and remove every feature in it TO
which the mayor had objected.

To Watch Skinner

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-Considerable
apprehension is felt among Italians
about the expedition under way to
Abyssinia, by Consul General Skinner
of Marseilles, says a Tribune dispatch
from Rome. Italy, since her African
reverses, has been accustomed to look
with distrust on any foreign interfer-
ence in Ethiopia. 1t is learned on good
authority, says the correspondent, that
instructions have been sent to the
Italian Minister at the Abyssinian capt.
tai to watch Mr.. Skinner closely and
report on the attention paid him and
the business results of his visit.

WHAT TO WEAR

When you corle to Hawaii, for you
will come, do not permit yourself to
leave at home everything substantial
in ,he way of clothing. On the sea
shore levels, where are the cities and
most of the resorts, white is the dom
irsnt costume for men and women.
Eut to see the good things of Hawaii
one must go into the clouds, and on
he mountain tops one feels ne need
OF "a wee bit flannel next the skin. -
Overcoats and wraps are the proper
things at .nountain houses. e
Evening dresses are of the lightest
material as rule, and an Hawaiian
company is an exceedingly bright one.
But there is always a refreshing air
and one finds coat acceptable.
If you are contemplating a journey
for the future, then write us at once
for information. Among the Hawaiian
literature issued by this Committee,
which it would be delighted to place
in your hands, are the following:
Beauty Spots of Hawaii" 'Hawairs

Legends" Ali are beautifully illus
trated, and your address on post card
will mean that you get any one de-
sired.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2s.-The Tribune to-
dav says:
The mystery surrounding the picture
Guardian Angel" now on exhibition in
the Salon of American artists, is due to
a blunder Of some one 1t was painted
by Isaac H. Caliga of Boston three
years ago. Abbott H. Thayer never
painted such a picture.
After Caliga painted and exhibited it
some one put photograph of it on
the market, and recently this photo
graph has appeared crediting the paint
ing to Thayer.
A year ago, after the painting had
been exhibited in New York Caliga de-
cided to make changes in it. He light
ened the color of the wings of the an
gel and filled out the canvas more COM
pletely with the wings. The photo

VOLCANOES.


Volcanoes there are, and again vol
canoes, in the world. When one wish
es to see these evidences of the inter-
nal forces. he needs to know certainly
that his volcano is "tame," and there
Is no danger of explosion. The only
way to be sure of this is to look into
the history of disasters elsewhere; see
that these have occurred only where
there has been a subsistence of activi-
ty, a shutting off of fires, and finally
the blowing off of the top. In Hawaii
there is an open vent for the gases. and
in consequence no dangerous ERUPTION
can occur. kilauea is the greatest of
living volcanoes. It's crater, three miles
across, and the center of activity q
great pit 1000 feet deep by 1000 feet in
diameter, are sights which never cease
to attract. One may look down upon
the seething, boiling lava. knowing that
there is absolutely no danger, as the
gases cannot gather IN explosive guam
titles where there is a safety valve
ever open. The constantly changing
face of the lake OF fire, the fountains
which play in lines of light, all make
a picture never to be forgotten.
To stand on the very edge of the
great chimney of Halemaumau and
look down 1900 feet to the living fires,
secure in the knowledge Of perfect
safety, is new experience.
OLD CUSTOMS.
Something of the old Hawaiian WAYS
remain in the islands; here and there
may be found a grass house, a poi
FOUNDER working in the forest-every
concomitant of the former life exceSt
idolatry-but the general order is of the
highest. In Honolulu, the capital, there
are buildings which would not be out
of place on prominent business street
of New York, and the people are trav-
eled. cultured and progressive. You
will feel at home, for this is cosmo-
politan community, and every one de-
lights in making his travelling friends
feel perfectly at ease.
Honolulu itself is a modern city.
This is true as we'll IL considered as
relating to accommodations for trav-
elers or to means of travel. An cleo
trio railway system is one Of the con-
veniences, it having twenty miles of
rails laid and construction work still
going on.
Perhaps nowhere else in the world are
there so many hacks pro2ortionately.
More than 200 vehicles are in the streets
daily and the rates are based on TWEEN
ty-five cents a mile. What is said
of Honolulu is true elsewhere. Thus

one railroad, which runs to Puma and
up towards the Volcano, with another
