sequently improved to 10 from the bot

Realizing near the close occaSioned a
slight recession, making the net gain II
to 10 points on the day. The amount
brought into sight for the week was 24I,-
600 against $4,000 last year, and the ag-
gregate marketed from September LIST
to date is S,4S9000 against S,S39,000 last
year. The total visible supply during the
week increased 5000 against a gain Of
2.4OO last year, but the American de-
creased SO, 900 against loss of 80, coo last
year The total supply of American is
3.O43,OOO against $500, 900 last year and
3,169CC0 year before last. The takings
by spinners of American cotton during
the week were $4,000 against 226,000 last
year and the total takings today have
been 6,224C00 against 5,755,000 last year,
or an excess of 469 ,O00 This demon
strates the visible supply figures are ap
parently so bullsh because instead of
the stock being carried by merchants in
the visible as formerly, spinners have
augmented their reserve supply largely
and now hold in stock over 100000 bales
more than they did last year. This strong
demand for spots which has existed for
weeks may at any moment become cur
tailed as spinners might fall back on
their reserve supply and take less shan
their requirements. In the meanwhile
the movement on it's face points to crop
of 10, $50, 900 compared with last year and
TO crop of 1892 900 when compared with
year before last. Three weeks ago it only
indicated "a crop Of 1862, 900 as COM
pared to last year. Supply as we'll de-
mand will eventually regulate values,
therefore it is we'll to watch the move
ment closely and not ignore this import
ant factor. Sentiment, however, is ex-
tremely bullish and the majority OF OPP
orators believe in higher prices.

MELANCHOLIA
Is a Perilous Disease and Que That
Leads to Insanity.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
Has Saved Thousands of Mel
ancholists from the Grave.

Melancnolia is a grave disease; it has
tendency to induce suicide and homl-
eide; in many cases it leads to dread
insanity. The first important symptom
of ordinary melancholia is slecplessness.
Another symptom of the greatest inn
portance is a dull pain in the back Of
the neck, extending to the back of the
head. Then we see other symptoms, such
as depression of spirits slow mental and
muscular movements, retarded speech,
terrifying hallucinatiOns, aversion to
food and disregard OF life. Every case
of melancholia is directly traceable to
a weakness or collapse of the nervous
system. The nerve branches of the
sympathetic system, the spinal column
and BRAIN are not doing their work, and
the blood is thin, sluggish or impure.
Pane's Celery Compound is tho great
rescuer and life builder for every mel
ancholc victim. AS a nerve food, this
marvellous Compound quickly imparts
nourishment and life to the weak and
famished nerves after which comes ne"
yitality-a feeling that life is precious
ard worth living. The stomach llFer'
and kidneys arc toned, digestion becomes
perfect. a natural appetite is bestowed
and sweet, refreshing sleep conduces 10
a vigorous health. Paine's Celery Com
pound has saved more melanchollc ara
nervous sufferers than all other COM
bined agencies. Do not treat the synp-
toms of melancholia with indifference.
Begin today with Paine's Celery Com
found, and avoid the perils that drag to
insanity and the grave.

Under the Dome.

Prof B. B. Daugherty, County Super
intendent of Watauga, spoke for Mr..
Newland's bill to establish a Training
School for teachers in the mountains of
Western North Carolina before the
House Committee on Education yester-
day. He spoke of the popularity of the
bill and declared that the pubic school
teachers were carrying the lead "th
Carolina today, that it meant something
to be teacher, that the most efficient
work could be brought about only by
trained teachers, that it would be good
economy for the State to spend little
more money and have a trained corps of
teachers. He said that North Carolina
was so large and so diversified IN climate
and soil, in products and population that
it was not eXpedient to undertake TO
gather all her teachers into any one
place, or into any two or three places.
He suggested that his section could not
be reached by institutions already estab-
lished.
He supported his position with the fol-
lowing arguments:
1. The expenses of the other schools
too great for rural teachers.
spend hot summer months in Greensboro
Chapel Hill, or Raleigh.
3. That the other schools were full! and
that the mountain teacher would prefer
attending a school in their own climate,
where living expenses could be reduced
to a minimum.
He spoke of the Constitutional Amend
ment and made the following plea:
THE State has made greater demands
upon us than ever before. We take it for
granted that the State will allow US to
make a little demands upon her. We
don't ask help because we have meritCd
it, but because we need it. We come in
our weakness, we come as supplcants,
but we come in the name of 600 white
teachers and 1000 white children, and
ask the great State of North Carolina
with her cotton mills her tobacco fac
tories, her railroads. her tremendous
wealth, and the prestige of the Univer-
sity for more than a century, to cOncede
small appropriations mere pittance
cut of the States treasury to that sec
ton of the State that nature has left at
a disadvantage"
The chairman of the committee said he
regretted Inat ne ala not nave luli at
tendance of the committee to hear the
arguments, and that he was more iner
ested in the bill than he had been. The
friends OF the measure are hopeful and
many think it is a just cause. A strong
speech was also made by Capt. E. +.

be had later on when Lieutenant Cover
