SUPREME COURT
JUDGES SALARIES.

Regarding the salaries of the
various supreme court judges,
Hon. E. S. Wilson,, the we'll
known Jackson newspaper cor
respondent, has the following to
say in a recent letter from the
capital;
In the matter of discrepancy
of salaries those of the supreme
judges of Mississippi, perhaps,
afford the most anomalous stu
alton of those of any state in the
union. Up to the recent session
of the legislature the salaries of
each of the supreme court
judges was s., 800. Under the
state constitution the salaries of
the judges cannot be increased
or diminished during the contin-
uance of the judges in office. A
bill became a law increasing the
salaries of the judges OF the Su-
preme court to $4,000 a year.
The whirligig of time has made
round, and two of the incum-
bent supreme court judges are
drawing a salary each of 81, 800,
while the third, vino has a ten
ure of six years, continues to
draw $500. Equity would,
therefore, seem to demand that
the Legislature which meets next
January should submit a consti-
tutional amendment to the peO-
pie making it possible for the
Legislature to equalize the sala-
ries of the supreme court judges
of Mississippi. There could be
no doubt about the ratification
of such an amendment, for the
people of Mississippi are just
and fair minded and opposed to
any law that makes fish of one

The Commercials Great Piano
Contest is Booming, Votes
Coming in Rapidly.

Each day seems to awaken
now interest in The Commercial :
Great Piano Contest, and votes
are coming in with increased
rapidity. The people through
out the county realize the mag
nificence Of the offer, and many
of them are making an effort to
secure the coveted prize for some
friend or loved one. Notwith-
standing the interest that is being
manifested in the contest, many
people are careless in their man
ner Of voting, some failing to
sign their ballots and others
neglecting 20 deposit them until
after the date which they bear
has expired. According to the
rules Of the contest, no unsigned
ballot can be counted, nor will
any ballot on which the date has
expired be received.
The semi weekly counts made
each Wednesday and Saturday
afternoon, and ballots should be
deposited in the boxes which can
be found both at Mayo &c Wea-
ver's and at "The Woman's
Store" in ample time to be taken
up by the collector. Be careful
to see that your ballots are prop
erly signed and deposited in the
proper place before the date
which they bear has expired.

THE NEW REGISTRATION.

Circuit Clerk J. W Cooper,
who by virtue of his office is also
county registrar, began the work
of registering the voters Of this
county yesterday, Caledonia be-
ing the first point visited. The
work of registration will, howev-
er, be unusually light this year,
as, in accordance with an opin-
ion rendered some time since by
Attorney General Williams, all
voters must have been registered
four months previous to the
August primary in order to par
ticipate therein, and a vast ma
jority of qualified voters of the
county have already been enroll
ed. Nevertheless Mr.. Cooper
will visit every precinct in the
county and afford all those who
have not registered an opportuni-
ty to do so.
As stated above, Mr.. Cooper
was at Caledonia yesterday and
will visit the following places in
the order named: Lebanon,
Friday, June 10: Old Zion, Mon
day, June %; Dearing's Store,

COST OF WALKS. A SUNDAY BLAZE.
Temrs of Contract Between
The City Council and
Kelley & Pope.

| Several property holders have
asked the Commercial to publish
in its columns the full text of the
contract entered into between
Messrs. Kelly &c Pope and the
city of Columbus for the laying
Of the new cement. sidewalks,
work on which is now in progress.
With a view to obtaining this
contract for publication, a re-
porter called on Mayor Gunter
Tuesday afternoon, and was re-
ceived by that official in his usual
polite and cordial manner. When
asked about the contract Mayor
Gunter gladly made known its
terms, which information, by the
way, has already been given in
these columns, but is republished
for the benefit of those who did
not see it or else failed to remem-
Der the figures. The contract
is a very simple document, and
by its terms Messrs. Kelley &c
Pope are to receive the sum of
ten cents per square foot for lay
ing all walks which do not ex-
ceed five feet in width, and II &c
per square foot for all walks ex-
ceeding five feet. This discrepen-
cy in price is, it seems, caused by |
the.fact that more skill. is required |
in laying q wide walk than mar
row one and consequently lar
ger fee is charged.
The work of laying the walks
is progressing rapidly, and those
that have already been completed
are marvels of excellence. Mr..
@. F. Brown, the energetic in
spector Of water and sewerage,
is acting as city engineer during
the progress Of the work and the
walks are being Constructed un-
der his personal supervision.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Nov. 1.-THE spot cotton
market was very quiet. The offerings
were light and but little disposition was
shown to meet the decline. Sales 300
bales, including 2,100 to arrive. Quo
tations advanced 1-16.
The future market was active with
prices at the opening to 6 points be-
low yesterdays closing. Following the
initial decline there was recovery
brought about by the covering of shorts
and buying by longs on predictions #
snow and cold weather for tonight anG
tomorrow. The weather map also had
an unfavorable look as heavy frost line
extended well down into the western por-
ton of the belt. The recovery was fol
lowed by an avalanche of selling orders
which quickly carried prices down 10 TO
liz points lower on the active months than
the highest level of the morning. The sell
ing orders were said to have come from
New York where the record breaking
movement of the actual cotton to ports
$40 bales, was evidently looked upon
as an immensely strong bearish argu-
ment. The local decline attracted pror',
nent bulls to the ringside and prices were
gradually driven up until they We're %
to 20 points above yesterdays closin0,
and 20 to 33 points above the opening
level. The trading was active through
out the day and the market closed nrnl
with net gains Of % to 20 points.

BALTIMORE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 17.-Tradng in stocks
dwindled to a low ebb TODAY and the
dizziness was progressive. This was re-
garded as a significant development follow
ing the cessation of bear pressure against
stocks, and was accepted as an indica-
ton that there is little inclination to en-
bark in speculative ventures in the stock
market as yet. The awakening from a
long dormant state of stocks of number
of less important railroad companies and
their brisk advance SO far from having
an encouraging effect on the buying of
stocks, seemed to awaken suspicion. The
rise In the call money rate to six per
cent late in the day, which was attributed
to this light incursion into stock specu-
lation by the minor pools, completed the
disfayor with which the movement was
regarded and turned the course of prices
downward. The result was to wipe out
the earlier gains which had reached a
point or over in many representative
stocks. Pennsylvania especially was in
demand, presumably from the short in
terest left uncovered in the stock after
its extended decline. The upward move
ment of the morning was due to the re-
