D. Appleton & Co., New York. -Four
in Hand" is, story of smart life in
New York and at a country club. In
the book Miss Anthony deals with the
fashionable club life of the ultra-rich
set of New Workers, and this phase
of New York society life never has
been more faithfully depicted. The
originality of treatment and the bril-
liancy of the dialogue make the book
unique. Her characters are strongly
individualized. while the artificial world
of which they form a. part is en-
phasized by an underlying element of
suffering and disappointment; yet it
is not feeling of depression, by any
means, that this story leaves upon the
mind of the reader, but one of stimu-
lated interest in sparkling exhibi-
ton of humanity.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW
y VIM. T. Williams

-
The cotton market ruled very weak,
with frequent spasmodic reactions. BY
Tuesday prices had lost nearly 4G
points, October reaching sole, Deem
Der and January 9.l0c. Then the mar
ket see-sawed up one day and down the
next within a range of some Is to %
points. The close on Saturday was
near the top of one of these rallies.
and shows a net decline for the week
of about 20 points; October, 9.19c; De-
cember, 9.2Sc; January, 9.26c.
Conflicting influences were at work
with bearish ones apparently in the
ascendency for the moment, Prominent
among these We're the free receipts, the
continued decentralization in the stock
market threatening commercial de-
the Far East. October also suffered
from the rather free circulation of de-
livery notices on Friday.
On the side of the bulls were unfav-
orable crop accounts. continued cool
weather with storms and heavy rains
in sections, and the likelihood that
much cotton will have to be bought in
October. There is also a feeling even
among the conservative bears that the
decline has gone far enough for the
present. While fairly large, the move
ment Is hardly up to the expectations
and with a crop so late as this one is.
so much cool weather is certainly not
conducive to a full yield.
Upon the whole. were it not for the
financial and political complications, it
would appear that good substantial
rally would be in order. Legitimate
demand should readily absorb the Oc-
tober movement without so much price
depression as has recently occurred
But unfortunately the two bugahoos
will not down. 1t is undeniable that
the stock market is in bad way. and
apparently getting worse; and no one
yet can say what may come of the
trouble in the Orient. It is no wonder,
therefore, that the trade is pretty bad

John Laster, his wife, Ella Laster
and John King, three negroes from the
country, got drunk at Flovilla Friday
and getting in buggy started home.
Soon after setting the mule in motion
the woman leaned over the dashboard,
caught the mule by the tail, and began
twisting it. The mule made dash and

YOUNG NEGRO COMMITS SUICIDE.

Sam Stewart, young negro of IS
years, shot and killed himself at In
dian Springs Friday. Stewart had
been in bad health for some
weeks past and was apprehen-
siye of the result. Late in
the evening a report of a pistol
came from Stewards room and all in

Stewart had been shot through the

seconds, the negro bleeding to death

TOXIN AND ANTITOXlN.
What These Two Terms In Medicine
Mean Made Clear.

PaSteur, the great French savant,
founder of the sciences of bacteriOlOgy
and preventive medicine. proved in the
first place that the epidemic diseases
are due to minute living organisms.
plants and animals and that for each
definite disease there is a specific micro
organism. This was the great funda-
mental fact. Later it became evident
that these microscopic parasites cause
disease by certain chemical pOsOns
which they produce, called toxins. In
many cases the micro organism, if
grown in culture tubes outside the
body, will produce the same toxins.
After being separated from the living
germs which produced them these sub
stances will produce all the symptoms
of the disease when injected into an
animal body. The body at the begin
ming of an attack of fever is not, how
ever, passive. Its cells react against
the pOisons introduced and a struggle
ensueS, the end of which is life or
death, the fighting being purposeful
and definite. The body cells secretc
a specific chemical body which has the
power of neutralizing or rendering
harmless the particular toxin intro
duced. This antidOte to the poisonous
toxin we call the antitoxin. When a
man RECEIVERS from an attack of small
pox, it is because his antitoxins have
proved too strong for the toxins of the
disease, and his after immunity, it
seems probable, is due to the persist
ence within his body of the antitoxins
once produced.-C. E. A Winslow in
Atlantic
