The Morning News Office,
Tuesday May 19.
Cotton continued the decided feature
of to-day's markets, with, the rise such
as TO attract the attention of the trade
everywhere to the price movement. The
sneculati ton has taken a stand second to
none in the countrys business, and its
effect is being felt in the finances of
the money centers of New York, with
the stock Exchange also giving away
TO the businesses on the Cotton Elk
change for the time being. July to-
day closed at IL .26c, the high point of
the season.
SPOT cotton is beginning to respond
readily to the rise in futures, which is
construed by the local trade as among
the most wholesome signs yet of the
stability of the bun market. For a
time it was thought that the specula-
ton was an imitation of values to
which the markets for the actual prod
uct would not take heed, and now that
spots are rising rapidly is taken I'd
mean that the conditions are in a large
measure attributable to natural work.
ings. OF course the campaign is led
by spectators, but the trade say they
are the natural generals under such
circumstances. 1t is asserted with rea-
son that they could not bull the mar
ket unless there were strong condi-
tions upon which to base a demonstra-
ton. The full price movements and
details of the markets appear in the
cotton columns elsewhere.
Turpentine closed firm at 47Ac, q rise
of &c above yesterday. The demand
was of the best character, and came
from both foreign and domestic ex-
porters. Resins closed steady, with
the demand moderate. The wholesale
markets closed steady. Details of the
different markets follow:

Harris, Gates q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, May 19.-Harris, Gates &
Co., in their cotton letter to-day, state:
There was a sharp advance in the
fall months to-day, due chiefly to the
unfavorable weather report from
Washington, which frightened the
large short interest in these months,
and started a rush to cover. The near
months were strong in the early part Of
the day at new high record prices, and
the bull clique will probably put them
still higher. In view of the weather
conditions we do not think 1t prudent
to sell the next crop short at the mo-
ment.

QUiIIian Lectures BeSun-Events on
Athletic Field.


Emory College, oxford, Ga, April
22.-The series of lectures provided for
by the Quillian Lectureship Fund was
commenced Monday evening by Bish-
op Eugene r. Hendrix, d. D., of Kan
sas City, Mo. On Monday evening
Bishop Hendrix opened the series of
lectures by an interesting talk upon
The Power of Personality" On Tues
day at noon in the college chapel, DR..
Charles E. bowman, a former pres1-
dent of the college, spoke to a large
concourSe of ministers and students,
the subject of his lecture being The
Elements of a Successful Passionate.
Last evening in the college auditorium
Bishop Hendrix delivered the second
of the series on The Personality of
the Holy Ghost The lectures will
continue throughout the entire week.
There are some eighty or a hundred
ministers representing almost every
section of the state, in attendance upon
the course of lectures, and President
Dickey says that he expects the al
ready large number of visitors will be
materially augmented during the lat
ter part of the week. The manuscripts
have been purchased by the college,
and they will be put in book form and
offered for sale. The profits that are
derived from the publication of the
lectures will be used to further swell
the fund.
The annual field day exercises were
held to-day on the college campus. The
contest proved to be exciting. The IN
crease in interest this year is due 10
the fact that this field day exercise
served as the preliminary to decide
places on the first Emory track team,
which will go against the University
of Georgia on May 2. There were three
college records broken in yesterdays
contest, namely, the mile run, pole
vault and 220-yard dash. Among the
events We're:

&. ID. kidder Among the Experts
who Testihed-Other News.
Waycross. Ga, April 22.-The Heidi
damage suit occupied the Superior
Court of Ware county throughout to-
day, and in all probability will not be
completed until Thursday afternoon.
The last witness for Mrs. Heidi was
heard early this morning, and the testi-
mony for the defense was begun short
ly after 9 o'clock. The first witness
was c. B. Kidder of Savannah who
was examined in regard to the safe and
proper construction of the telephone
and electric wires in Waycross. A mass
of other expert testimony was heard
during the day.
The defense is endeavoring to prove
that the cause of Mr.. Heidt's death
was entirely providential and that
the telephone and electric light system
here was, and is entirely safe, and
properly constructed.
Another damage suit will probably
commence after the disposal of the
Heidi case. The suit is that Of w. e.
Calhoun against George r. Youmans,
Mayor of Waycross, for $4,000 dam
ages. Calhoun resides at present in
Jacksonville, and while employed by
the Plant System some time ago, pur-
chased a watch from Mr. Youmans to
be paid for on the installment plan.
Before the watch was paid for. Calhoun
pawned It, and was arrested upon the
charge of Mr.. Youmans. He remained
a short time in Jail, and after trial
in the City Court of Waycross was ac-
quilted. Calhoun lost his position with
the railroad at the time of his arrest
A short time after his acquittal he en-
tered suit through his attorneys. John

SAW A BIG PANTHER.
Brute Preys Upon sheep and Cattle
in CIinch County

in Clinch County.
Valdosta, Ca, April 22.-Mr. Joseph
B. Strickland of Clinch county was in
the city this afternoon and brought
the story of large panther which was
seen near the Alapaha river swamp
Monday by Messrs. Marion Bradford
and j. F. Pafford. 1t was the first
genuine panther that has been seen
in this section in number of years,
though it has been known for some
time that beast of that kind had been
living in the swamp.
The gentlemen who saw it came upon
1t while it was devouring a COW which
1t had killed. The big brute had eaten
part of the cow and was gnawing upon
Its neck when they approached. The
panther skulked off toward the swamp
and they got Il good view of it. They
say that it was at least five feet long
and two and half feet high.
Efforts have been tried several times
in the past two or three years to kill
or capture this panther, but those who
have hunted it have been unable to
get dogs that would stay in the neigh
borhood of the brute. Mr.. Strickland
says that it has killed many sheep and
cattle for the farmers in that section
and that there would be rejoicing
among them If some one should sue
coed in ending its life.
