The general feeling was that while rain. had been beneficial low temperature had been in- furious and on this theory a hesitating mar- ket resulted. It is known. however. as an in- dsputable fact that the crop is quite late and this gives the bulls decided advantage and their ponsitfon may be considerably strengthened the season advances. Views on the old crop are not of much consequences now and again 1t seems to be taken for grant ed that the yield will not prove If anything. much over 100000 bales. It is also ex- pected that the bureau report in June. the first of the season. will show a much poorer condition than last year. New Orleans moved up sharply during the forenoon and New York followed with advance of SOLO points, July showing greatest strength and shorts being scared by fears of a- poor bureau report for the Southwest, although showers were forecasted for that entire region. Cables were 3M4 points higher. The weekly bureau report was bullish. especially for Texas. but the affect on the maritet was not immediately ap. parent. Port receipts today were estimated at l4.QQQ. against 10000 last year.

Greensboro NJ c., July 13-Speaker
Gattis, of Hillsboro; r. T. Gray, of Raj
eigh, and Prof. Forney, of Greensboro, of
the executive committee of the State Nor
NAL and Industrial College, met here Sat
urday night to give out the contract for
a complete central system heating plant
for the college. When the bids were ex-
amined, it was found that to install a
complete system would require over $780,
900, a great deal more money than was
available.
The committee adjourned to meet next
Saturday night at the Benbow Hotel.
Contractors were requested to revise
their bids, so that central system could
be begun, and all the buildings possible
be heated now, leaving the plant in such
condition that extensions could be added
as funds permitted.
Clerk of the Federal court at Wilkes
horo, Col Henry G. Cowles, arrived from
Statesville last night and went up to
Wilkesboro today, TO, like John the Bap-
fist, prepare the way for Judge Boyd,
who goes tomorrow to open the first term
of the celebrated Wilkesboro court.
1t is learned that Judge Boyd will spend
only an hour there between trains, sim
ply opening and adjourning court and
taking the return train for Greensboro,
There will be nothing for the court to
do. No jury has ever been drawn. the
jury commissioner, who, with the clerk,
draws the jury, not having yet been APP
pointed.
The next term of the court is due the
second week in November. An official
conversant with the situation has this to
say about the next term of the court:
civil business in the Wilkesboro district
amounts to almost nothing, leaving moth
ing but criminal matters. Since the pass
age of the Watts bill, if the law is en-
forced, there will be no criminal business
scarcely at all, and the only thing the
court win do, will be to break into the
Ashenlle court which meets the first
Tuesday in November, and which has an
oIger-crowded civil docket OF big cases
that need to be disposed of. The judge
will have to adjourn that court in order
to get to Wilkesboro, and when he gets
there. do not believe he will have three
eases to try

DAvY CROCKETT IN RALEIGH

First and last Raleigh has had the hon
or of entertaining many distinguished
American citizens. There were celebra
tions arranged for most of them, dinners,
or receptions. 1t is doubtful if any rec
ord remains of the visit paid to Raleigh
by a man of note in his day-no less
character than David Crockett. member
elect of the House of Representatives. He
does not live in history as statesman
but in his day he exerted influence and
has left for all time short speech that
contains more wisdom than many of the
long orations by men who posed as states
men. His most famous speech was in these
eight words: "Be sure you are right;
then go ahead"
In the July issue of the Outlook Emerson
Hough writes entertainingly of "Davy
Crockett in Politics." 1t contains the only
reference we have ever seen of Crocketts
Eisit to Raleigh, and thus will have
local interest for readers of this paper.
We quote:
"As an example of Crockett's early
electioneering methods one might mention
his first canvass for the Legislature. Re-
garding this he says: i didn't know
what the government was. / didn't know
but General Jackson was the government.

Polk, the latter remarked. i think 1T

Well" he comments. If ever l knowed
what he meant by judiciary / wish
may be shot! | never heard there was
such thing in all nature
again, Crockett, in what s called his
autobiography a work which he no
doubt in part dictated or at least au-
thorized. gives the following account OF
one of his speeches to a stranger, at Raj
eigh, while Crockett was en- route to
gress. Said he, 'Hurrah for Adams! and
said /. 'Hurrah, for hell and praise your
own country And he said, Who are
your Said /, I'm that same Davy Crock

half alligator, a little touched with snap
ping turtle, can wade the Mississippi, leap
the Ohio, ride a streak of lightning, slide
down a honey locust and not get
scratched. / can whip my weight in wild
cats, hug a bear too close for comfort,
and eat any man opposed to Jackson!
(Which last remark he fam would qualify
largely later In his political career!)

Pray express to all who subscribed the

GREENSBORO FEMALE COLLEGE.

We publish elsewhere an article from
the Greensboro Telegram which states
that one now doubts that Greensboro
LEem !ale College will be saved and that the
Alumnae Association is to be incorporated
to put that body in better shape for the
business-hke duties which the exigencles
of the college have thrust upon it,
This is very gratifying. BY the same
mail came letter from the officers OF
the Alumnae Association requesting al
friends of the college to exert themselves
to secure subscriptions to the fund \
fine start was made but there remains
much to be done still. The ladies need
now at least ten thousand dollars in good
subscriptions. and it is to be hoped they
viii receive at least this amount before
the week Is out.
The stock of the college amounts to $24,
900 or $4,000 1t had been hoped that
Greensboro people alone would raise
enough money to buy this stock and then
that those residing elsewhere would dur
ing the coming year raise the forty thou
sand dollars necessary to pay off the
bonds
Those who wish to keep the doors of
this useful institution open and to con
tinue its grand work should act promptly
so that the necessary arrangements can be
made for opening the college for the fall
session.
