'"THE NEGRO is A MAN"
Rev. w. S. Armistead VS.. Prof. Chas.
Carroll

hcVs w. .. ArmISUeaQ VS.. PfOl. OniaS'
Carroll.
Same three years ago, as the read
ing public knows, Prof. Carroll pub
lished a book entitled 1.-THE Negro Is
a Beast or in the Image of Cod"
In this book he goes to work and
proves, by perverting the Bible, that
the negro is a beast.
This subject has been outraged
from time to time by like argument
from different people Generally
from the ungodly.) Prof. Carroll by
his wholesale onslaught makes all
these attempts insignificant. He says
there is no soul where there is any
other blood than Caucasian. He per-
verts the Scriptures, arrays himself
against all churches and sects, and
sets ut naught the plain teaching OF
the book that has been sacred in all
ages. Rev. Armistead feels it sacred
duty to defend the Bible and refute
this outrage committed against me
negro. For this purpose he has had
under consideration for two years
book with the above mentioned title,
THE Negro Is a Man" This book
proves that the negro has like rela-
ton to God as other races of the hu-
man family. 1t is a complete answer
in any way to Prof. CAROLS argyll
ment. This book makes a neat ana
attractive volume, and is now READY
for the public 1t is easy to see II
will meet with ready sale.
State agents wanted. For further

Another day of liquidation and vio-
lent fiuctuation characterized the cot
ton market yesterday. New Orleans,
the stronghold of the bulls. for once
weakened and the market there lit
orally went to pieces.
Both futures and spots suffered in
the general decline, and the former
broke from $50 to 100 points. which is
one of the largest declines the cotton
market has ever known.
All this happened, too, in the face of
the buying orders sent out from the
city by the Gulf Wednesday night,
when the bulls attempted to stem the
tide which they knew. was inevitable.
The New York market opened at
decline of from AZ to SO points, and the
cables brought the news of slump in
cotton at Liverpool
Futures in the British ring went off
Is points, while at New York they
ranged from 105 to ITO steps down the
ladder.
The rumor that war had been de-
clared was the match that touched off
the powder, and the cottoH magazine
exploded with a bang. That many
were hurt by the explosion there is but
little doubt, but just who were the vic
tins will not be known until the list
of the wounded is made up at the
scenes of the carnage.
On the curb at New Orleans after
the markets close futures got another
slap in the face: March sold at IA. 96c,
May 15.46c and July 1880, still fur
ther decline of from 10 to 10 points
over the official close.
There was but little doing on the
spot, and the days sales only aggre-
gated % bales. while prices showed a
decline of &c.
Apathy also reigned supreme in the
fol b. ring, as there were but few Of
ierings. The exporters were willing to
operate on basis of futures, but pro-
ducers were unwilling to make the
Necessary concessions
The fob market opened on a basis
of good middling at Ice, and closed nc
off that figure Some little business
was done on nc basis.

PICKED UP ON CHANGE

The bulls were hard hit again yes

Everyone is wondering whether New
Orleans still has it's eye on 20 cent cot

prominent Alabama cotton town yes

out all the decline. The holders are

The New York Cotton Exchange has
voted in favor of an amendment to the
bylaws that renders null and void the
provision that a contract made after
hours is invalid. The rule that pro-
vides that any member trading after
hours is liable to expulsion still
stands, but no attention is paid to the
rule now, and the practical force of
the amendment is to make entirely
valid all trade on the curb.

SLUMP IN COTTON DOES NOT AF-
Feet DRY GOODS.

New York, Feb. 4.-The slump in cot
ton has made no difference in the cot
ton goods market except that buyers
show more conservative attitude, but
manufacturers show no inclination TO
weaken from their position. and are
not inclined to believe that the slump
is anything but temporary. Even at
the new prices touched, however. it is
not believed there can be any conces-
sions from the prices made. many of
which are below a 15c basis.

Say that Cotton Prices Depend on
Size of the Crop.
New York, Feb. 4.-This is the third
day of the most sensational decline
ever seen in the cotton market with
tremendous liquidation from all sources
which prevented any reaction of
consequence. The general idea seems
to be that war in the East is imminent,
and that it will cause a further sharp
break, but it looks to us as if the
break had come in anticipation. So
that if actual war does result it will
be found to have been discounted.
After ALL the whole situation de-
ponds on the size of the crop. and as
far as the immediate future goes it
depends on whether the New Orleans
bull leaders maintain their position or
not.

There was an active demand
throughout the week and during the

offerings were so light that business
was restricted.
Although receipts included large
blocks of cotton accumulated in the
interior early in the season, they still
fell short OF the receipts of last year
by about 500 bales. Exports were
nearly 1000 bales greater than receipts
and the stock is now 1867 against
