Season of School Commences
ments Brought to a Sue
cessful Close.
The Bluegrass State Can Be
Proud of Her Catholic
Children.
GOOD OMEES FOR STATES FUTURE

Another commencement season has
been brought to successful close. In
every State in the Union one or more
colleges, academies and universities have
sent forth young men and women to
fight the world and advertise the schools
from whence they came. Kentucky has
certainly done her part this year. There
may be some of her sons who tote guns
and drink red liquor" but there is a
great and growing desire for education
in this beautiful Bluegrass State of ours.
Right here let it be said that Kentucky
is up with the best when it comes to
educational institutions that educate.
Nazareth, Loretto, St. GATHERINGS, St.
Mary's, St. Xavier's and a score Of
others, send forth young women and
young men who have the foundation of
a solid eduction. They know there is
something to live for besides this worlds
goods. They become good citizens,
good business men, good husbands, low
ing fathers or good .mothers, queens
in their respective homes. Always they
are good Catholics. Some become priests
and Bishops; others become nuns and
devote their lives to educating the young
and to works of charity.
After all what is higher educationl
What Is the highest education1 To know
God, to love Him, to serve Him in this
world, that we may be happy with Him
forever in the next. What then must be
the crowns of glory awaiting these good
men and women, Brothers and Sisters,
who are engaged in educating the young
in the principles of the Catholic religion,
They are in the world, but not of it.
Historic Nazareth. an academy for
girls, known all over the world as the
alma mater of bright women, held its
eighty-ninth annual commencement last
week. The school halls and grounds
were crowded with friends of this grand
old institution. After an interesting and

ferred diplomas upon Misses Julia A.
Hogarty, Rebecca McElroy, Margaret l..
Fitzpatrick, Teresa 1. Wathen, Bessie E.
Townsend. Julia H. Uhlhorn, Stelld l.

And glorious old Loretto celebrated her
commencement exercises on Wednesday

AN exchange truthfully says that
it is hard matter to reach the top
OF the ladder by trying to tear down
the reputation of another. It has
been tried but has never been prov

is the same and every successful

made it through his own efforts and

THOUGH the reports from the
threshing machines are still too
,meager to correctly estimate the
crop in the entire county, enough is
known, however, to dispel all fears
OF famine. We have probably
raised the biggest crop in proper
tion to the straw that we ever have,
and the wheat shipments from this
county alone will reach into the
millions OF bushels. Who would
have thought that such crop could
be grown with so little rain! Prov
ldence. has richly blessed what
seemingly was an off year.

n NEARLY all the cities and villages
in the state have issued orders. and
had published, notices requiring
the cutting OF all grass and weeds.
on the streets, before certain date.
and then, in some instances. the au-
thorltles seem to sit down and wait
Tor nature to do the Job, if the prop
erty owners don t. This is an or
der that should be rigidly enforced,
and the street commissioner should
see that it was done, while the
grass is green. Soon the frost will
come, the grass will become dead
and dry and ready to catch fire from
any spark, burning match carelessly
dropped, or cigar stub, and thus en-
4 danger property, besides giving the
city a slack, dirty appearance.
Again, the moving Of threshing en-
glnes, on our streets, has broken
some cross walks and planks cover
ing culverts, making it dangerous
for travel and leaving the city
liable to heavy damages, in case
a. an accident should happen, for in
stance, the hole in the culvert at the
corner near the S.. Cooke vacant
building, broken crossing near the
court house, saying nothing Of the
numerous broken planks in the side
walks. Each hole requires but a
few minutes to repair, which may
save the city a law suit and many
hundred dollars damages. Nov is
q good time to look after these mat
sters, while business is quiet. Let
every one take an interest iii the
matter, and when you discover any
needed repair, either fix it yourself
or notify the. street commissioners.
and he, no doubt, will soon have it
repaired. 33s gIf is3

Cotton Letter
Especial to News and Observer

New York, July 15.-After the decline
of yesterday and this morning, prices re-
acted sharply. 1t was rather difficult to
get very much cotton below 91hc or De-
cember, though the price ran down to
9.46 The feature of the market on this
break was the investment demand be-
low a 915c. basis Practically the same
condition existed in October, spinners be-
ing aggressive buyers below 9%c. This is
not difficult to understand. Not only is
the stock of cotton in the world very
small, but spinnefs have not purchased re-
Gently preferring to close the mills
rather than convert cotton into goods at
a loss, and in many instances they have
actually sold the stock of cotton on hand
This means, of course, that there is going
to be the most active demand we have
ever seen for the first of the new crop.
Spinners will have been without cotton
so long by the time the movement is
under way in September and October that
every bale will be needed at good prices
1t will be remembered that cotton sold
in the fields of Texas at 10 cents pouEd
three years ago, and ther is no reason why
similar conditions should not exist this
fall. Now that prices are getting down
to a satisfactory basis, we cannot hut
believe that there is money in the pur-
chase of October and months beyond,
every time the market breaks. We will
be very much disappointed if October does
not get back very much above ten cents
before the expiration Of that delivery.
The first bale of new cotton this season
was reported today from zapote county,
Texas.
Port receipts for today were estimated
at from 600 to 700 bales against 1852
bales last week, and 1857 bales last year.
The Liverpool market today closed
steady, and about one point higher on
near months, to one point lower on late
sales 10000 bales. spots 400
higher, at 6.24.

in complete control, July was up IA points,
August even. September 8, and the other
months to z points. The heaviness OF
he spot demand In Liverpool and the re
ported willingness of spinners TO make
purchases at prevailing prices was TIE
trump card of the bulls and this feature
more than anything else, frightened shorts
into covering. Trading was heavy, espe-
cially during the first part of the day
when weak bears threw their holdings

prices throughout the day were well sup
ported. At the close July showed net

New York, July 15.-The dry goods mar

New York, July 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of 2 to
IL points under better Liverpool cables
than expected and covering but almost
Immediately turned easier and thereafter
ruled irregular though only moderator
active and almost totally lacking in the
sensational features which have recently
marked speculation.
The decline following the initial advance
was due to renewal of Wall Street pres
sure, and report that cotton Was hong
shipped here from Liverpool Tor delivery
on contract also exerted somewhat of a
sentimental influence, causing unloacns
by room longs. After losing five to TWEEN
ty points or declining to d level net foui
points lower to IL higher there was a re-
covery on bull support in the nearby
months attended by fresh reports of crop
damage from private sources, which as
usual, were more or less conflicting. Prices
were forced upward, however, until
around midday they were net 10 to %
points higher.
From this there was another decline
in the afternoon under fresh Wall Street
pressure encouraged by the weakness of
the stock market and liquidation of long
accounts, which carried quotations back to
about the previous low point. Toward
the finish, however. there was another raj
ly under covering and buying orders. SUP

market very steady at net advance of
