A STRANGE ROBBERY.
Held Up, F!eeced and Forced 10 Drink
Himself Into Stupor.

3ir. Robert Adams, a highly esteemed
citizen OF his section, living within three
miles of Angler, set out for that place
late Saturday afternoon, intending to
transact some business and return home.
lie never reached Angler. however. for
jus as the day darkened into night he
found himself suddenly confronted by
three ren, who, presenting pistols at his
breast. robbed him OF what money ne had
upon MS person-S13.T0-in a twinkling.
The leader OF the three, Mr.. Adams
thinks, was a white man. the others be-
ing negroes. It was too dark fer him to
see them distinctly, though, and he could
not be certain.
Their next act was something new on
tire highway. With pistols still at his
breast, they forced down the throat of the
unfortunate man the contents OF a pint
flask O. wlIiskey, telling him lac either had
to drink it CT Gle. When he had COM
FLIED with their demand they abruptly
left him.
Mr.. Adams walked for short distance
when the raw whiskey began to make
itself felt In short time his senses left
hin. He remembers nothing more until
lie awoke Sunday morning in field. two
miles from the scene of the robbery,
aching il every limb and almost frozen.
As socn IS the affair became known a
message few to Dunn for bloodhounds.
These came. but could rot strike the trail
There is no clue as TO who the guilty
parties are. and little hope Of their being

A WEAKER MARKET
Cotton is Barely Bring,
ing Thirteen Cents on
Raleigh Market.

The spot cotton market in Raleigh went
or considerably yesterday and WAS weak
The market IN reality stoo3 here at
from IL 81 to 70 7-sc, though few
bales we're SO at 10 cents this amount be-
ing paid on three bales as a special favor.
There were only eight bales sold here
yesterday as against twenty-three last
year, when fgures were about elgnt and
one-half cents a pound.
Tke downward tendency of cotton for
the past few days has been caused by
the action OF tie bears, who arc appaT-
emily IN control This control has been
brought about by two. causes, one Ringing
o. the other.
The wsr cloud in The Far East IS the
basis of the decrease in price. The trade
OF China in cotton goods is great trade
ard with war threatening there is TO
preparation for the trade there
This condition began to drive down.

cents en- the future market May stop or
dess were reached. Selling began and
as his cotton was thrown on the market
The Prices went lower still.
The market, to use 2 slang word, is
StCHl.ng aECIl. 1t IS Itct SL1D4S, GuL -
fuc.uaGing. Now the bears are in con
troll while IN a twinkling the wind may
veer and the bulls may again drive th'
rrices up higher than they were before
INC reaction began.
If the g.nners report which GENES to-
day is against q big crop end scales the
heu1cs down. then an advance may be
looked Tor today. The receipts for cotton
over the entire country are falling off
enc the party predictions OF short croI
seen, more new than ever before, about
to realize as an actuality.
There IS CT course q difference of opir-
ior about an advance in cotton but in
view of the conditions, il is to be expect
eli during the early months of tbs year.
"one mill at least is in luck" said a
Charlotte man, yesterday to the Obser-
yer. IT'S the Henrietta, az Caroieen.
Mr. S. B. Tanner bought, for tie mill.
1,CC0 bales Of cotton at cents. He
might make sfo0,oo0 profit by selling the
cotton, bat of course he won't do that,
because he has TO consider the running
of his mill ard his operatives.
