New York, Dec. 24.-A charge, the like of which never has been enter tained in the United States court in this district within memory of the old est. court official was preferred today against Henry Jones, a Louisville, Ky, Fiegro, when he was arraigned before United States Commissioner Shields. The charge against Jones was inter- Fering with the rights of a citizen in that he beat John Supper tonight, an other negro so severely that Supperto- night was unable to vote at the last presidential election at Louisville.

They are afraid to come out of their holes or go away from the others because of the paleface and his bad medicine.

EIGHT BALES HERE.
Cotton Sold at Fifteen Cents Before
the Break.

TIE first chance to test the price of cot
ton on this market for some time was
yesterday and it was better price than
was expected.
Eight bales of good cotton came in, and
the buyers went at it until the highest
price offered was 10 cents a pound. A
sale was made at that figure and things
looked as if Is cents would hold on
a while.
But later in the day tho market drop
pel New York went off 40 points on
spot and came down to 15 cents even,
while futures dropped for various months
from 35 to so points.
This affected the Raleigh market and
quotations here for spots went down.
In the afternoon the buyers said that 14A
cents a pound was the best that they
could do. A year ago bales were sold
here at from 9A to 97B cents pound.
The indications are that the farmers
way in the summer for prices over fifteen
cents and will not sell for less unless
they need money for use on the crop
being put In.
The figures for spot for today and the
rest of the week are only to be guessed
at. Yet it is felt on all sides that there
IS no danger of any large number of
bales appearing in Raleigh until the
prices get hump on" and that even
then there is not enough cotton in this
section to cause much of a rush.

liceman White, at the Southern passenger
station had a cute trick played on him
last night by smart darkey. There was
well dressed negro man dancing on the
platform and in his gyrations, pistol
so plainly protruded from his hip pocket
that the officer arrested him for carrying
concealed weapons. The negro was hor-
ror struck at his predicament, but be-
haved nice and "nigger like He con-
fided his trouble to the officer in the
humblest and oiliest terms; said he was
en- route to New York, and it would never
do in the world for him to miss the tram
due to leave in five minutes. Upon the
urgent request of the negro, the officer
agreed that if he put up a twenty-five
dollar bond for his appearance before the
mayor today, he could go on his way re-
joicing. Here boss said the negro, is
three ten dollar bills. give me back five
dollars The negro pulled three bills out
of his vest pocket In the semi-darkness,
the officer failed to make careful note OF
the money. and. handed the New York
jarky a fiver, Just as he mounted the
steps TO take the passing north bound
The officer never paid particular atten-
it into the Chief of Police this morning,
when he found three nice one dollar bills
instead of three tens. The question that
bothers the policeman now is whether he
is out five dollars and the city s25, Or
whether he is ont two dollars and the
CITY three?
