THE FAXIR RELEASED.
Charged With snatcaing Locket From W O.
man at the state Fair

W. r. jennings, the man connected
with one of the shows at the Fair Grounds
and who has been in Jail charged with
robbing a woman of this city of diamond
locket, was yesterday released on his own
recognizance.
Jennings was originally placed under a
$3.50 bond but was unable to give it. He
was examined by physicians and it was
found that his physical condition was
such that it would be unwise TO keep INN
in Jail as burden on the county, so he
was released by Judge PEBBLES, who ac-
cepted the mans own recognizance.
This virtually means that Jennings will
never re-appear here for trial, but the
womman had recovered her loclxet, which
was found, and the man was in such con
dition that to keep him confined would
have meant special medical attention and
an increased expense to the county

HOVERS AROUND TEN
Cotton Keeps a Little Above
This Figure.
The Sales in RaIslgh Were Light Yesterday
But the Price Held Up
Staadily.'

The cotton that was sold IN Raleigh yes
terday brought above ten cents.
Few bales were sold at this figure, snc
10 Is being the general figure receives.
though three and ten and Il
quarter were also in the offerings
Only the very best cotton brought the
highest figure offered yesterday, and loi
none was there an offering of more thar
ten and a quarter cents pound. Some OF
the farmers urged a figure just SIX
teenth higher but it was not given.
The receipts were very light consider
ing that cotton is selling above ten cents,
there being only eighty-nine bales sold
here Yesterday The market is STEADY
and it was felt that ten cents and over
would be the figure, but still the cotton
did not rush in.
The farmers who were here yesterday
saw that the crop is short, and that this
accounts for the small offerings, though
it is also reported that some farmers
are holding for still higher figure, be-
lieving that it is certain to come.
The fact that by holding their cottcN
it is now bringing them 10 cents pound
has encouraged many, and this tact gives
them faith to expect higher price. With
but little cotton left their idea seems
to be to hold for a better price than IS
now being given.
Farmers in the cray lands in this section
say that something over half their crop
has been marketed and two-thirds picked.
while to the south of Raleigh where the
lands are sandy, the renort is that nearly
the entire crop is picked.
The market closed steady here yesteI-
day and it is practically certain that
the prices today will range from ten to
ten and a quarter cents pound. On
yesterday year ago cotton was selling
here at Z ga cents a pound and only IS
bales were marketed.
