WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Future Decline in COttOn-Grain and
Provisions Steady.

Future Decline in COttOn-Grain and
Provisions Steady.
Under continued bear pressure, the
cotton market suffered further decline
during the past week. The close was
steady. about 10 points above the low
est and about 40 points net lower for
the week.
There was nothing particularly bear
ISL in the crop movement, the amount
IN sight for the week falling over 80
600 bales behind last years figures.
1here was a good deal of speculation
concerning the census report on cot
Ton ginned, the first part of which is
announced for Dec. %, and the trade
appears to be generally looking for a
depressing statement.
Already a bearish report appears tn
nave been pretty thoroughly discount
ed, and it is by no means certain to
De as bearlsh as expected. If it is
not, then sharp and sudden advance
may be counted on. The idea is preva-
lent that with the running out of the
current month a falling off in the SPOT
demand will exert a weakening infu-
ence, but in all likelihood the January
engagements will prove large enough
" Withstand ordinary pressure. Per-
maps there are larger January commit
ments than there were for December.
Cotton is low enough Less than A
year ago the world was discussing how
we were to make enough to meet con-
sumptlve requirements, and as early as
TINS we are being still more worried
ABOUT how we are to check over-pro-
auction. 1t should require two or three
successive big crops to put the price
legltlmately where it is; the prospect
OF surplus of about a million bales
ought not by any means to be so dis
tnrbing. No one can say exactly when
the bottom is reached. but the writer
believes that cotton bought around cur
rent prices will yield profit of from
l cent to IL cents a pound in a month
or two.
Grain markets were generally frmer.
There was sharp little furry in De-
cember wheat, carrying the price to
some cents premium over May, but
the gain was not maintained. Pro-
visions fluctuated moderately, closing
hrln at little change from last weeks
prices. The time is near now for pro-
visions to commence to move.

some weeks ago. This individual,
who would have you believe that he is
a man, as you all know was compelled
to visit nearly every home in the town
to fulfill his duties. At the various
homes he asked their opinions con-
cerning the Forsyth school, in order to
lead up to his nefarious scheme of
poisoning the minds of the people
against the present corps of teachers
and further the plans of derelict
school board. Upon getting their
opinion, he told them in practically
every home he visited, that there was a
general dissatisfaction w t h t h e
teachers-a creation of his own IRE.
sponsible mind. What should be the
penalty applied to person OF this
stamp? A self-confessed topper and
gambler, the hired tool of school boards
and unprincipled political demagogues
an insult to the community, defiler of
of the fair name of our people, thing
permitted to run at large and insult
women and children with it's oily
slander. Is there a man in Forsyth
who wishes to see thing of this cali
ber enter his home and poison the
minds of his wife and children? Think
of a person going from house to house
telling a string of vile falsehoods. Is
there any cause for Indignation? Tar,
feathers and rails are disagreeable in
struments, even in the hands of a
righteously indignant people, but it
sometimes becomes necessary to dis
pose of thing which the officers can
not, or will not, reach.

something like the following: "You
are respectfully informed that your
designation as teacher in the Forsyth
school will be accepted by the board
lat the expiration of the present
term
Resignation?
What do they mean?
People with ordinary under
standing will wait until they have
something to resign before sending in
a resignation; people with the intelli-
gence God bestowed upon the donkey
would wait until person has been
elected to position before requesting
resignation.
The teachers have nothing to re-
sign sat the expiration of the present
term." Why are their designations
requested? 1t is simply the self inn
posed task of a self esteemed board of
trustees who, in their egotism, have
lost all semblance to right and justice.
They hold their meetings in secret and
are ashamed to manfully come out and
tell what they do at these meetings
and when confronted with their actions
try to lay the blame on the ''othor fell
low.'
They have requested the resigna-
tion of the Forsyth teachers, every one,
| from basement to belfry.
And why?
For purely personal and political
reasons. Some of the teachers refused
to assist in the production of the much
talked of Minstrel show and the others
have been dubbed democrats, conse-
quently they must go, regardless of
their merit as teachers.
| Is there d patron of the Forsyth
schools who is not satiffied with the
present corps of teachers? If there is
we would be pleased to see their OBJ
jections in print. Each and every one
of the teachers would much rather see
your honest objections published
broadcast than be treated in this un-
derhanded and disgraceful manner.
Is there person in Forsyth, or any
orther place, as competent of judging
the requirements of the Forsyth schools
] as Mr.. Beeman? Enphatically no.

GOOD FOR JUDGE BOYD.

In sentencing another official, who
had been convicted of violating the
internal revenue law, Judge Boyd said
at Asheville:
II feel sorry for the prisoner, but l
am determined to put a stop to the
breaking of the law by public officers.
If the United States officers do not
obey the law how can we expect pri-
vate citizens to do so? 1t has to be
stopped and / am going to punish the
offenders severely enough to show
them that it must be stopped"
That is right, and the public will
applaud Judge Boyd if he will keep
on in this work. 1t is we'll known that
much of the raseality of officials has
been "winked at" in times past 1t

\ Difference of Oponion.

Senator German is of the opinion
that at present there is considerable
difference among the party leaders as
to the availability of various gentle
men whose names have been men
toned. Because of this honest differ
ence of opinion, he believes it the bet
ter course to send uninstructed dele
gates to the convention, where, after
a free interchange of views, the best
sentiment of the various localities may
be obtained, and a result reached
which will be helpful to the party in
the coming election.
So far as Senator German is per-
sonaily concerned, he says he is con-
tent with his present situation He is
not giving as much serious thought tC
the question of a candidate as he is
to the platform upon which the is
sue must be made. He realizes that
in the pending fight much depends
upon the party's attitude before the
country. After looking the political
field over, he finds nothing discour-
aging in the Democratic prospects. 1t

pates a hard and exceedingly interest
ing fight on both sides. The Demo
Gratis have an even chance to win pro-
vided they construct their platform
along clean-cut, conservative lines, and
make it brief. The question of the
candidate should be left to the con-
ventiOn to decide. When the nomlna-
ton is made, a united party should see
that he is elected.
