TEAM JUBILANT
OVER VICTORY
Rifiemen Soon to Receive
Prize Money.
BELL PLEASED AT RESULT
Thinks General Harries Will Cherish
No Animosity Toward Members
of Command.
BELL PLEASED AT RESULT

There is rejoicing among members of
the brigade team of the District militia
whose claim for the prize money which
had been withheld from them since Sep
TENDER. was allowed by the Auditor of
the War Department.
Major Bell expressed himself as
pleased at the decision of the Auditor
While he did not sign the application
with the other members of the team,
his belief in the fact that they were en-
titled to II has been borne out by the
decision He thinks that General Har-
ries will welcome the outcome, as it
must remove any doubt in his mind as
to the intent of the law.
evil Cherish No Animosity."
81 am fully convinced that he viii
cherish no animosity toward the team
members for seeking to have the matter
settled" said the major.
From statements made by members
OF the team it appears that they were
all confident of getting their money, it
simply being matter of time until their
claim for $1Z7. which General Harries
turned into the Treasury. because they
would not permit him to do as he wished
with it. had run the gantlet of Govern
ment red tape.
The facts in the case are these:
The District team, while at Sea Grit
won second prize in the National match,
which was $50. Owing to a deficiency,
only 1927 was paid out of the fund ap-
propriated by Congress. and the other
s23 was made up by the National Rife
Association The Government repre-
sentative turned the S127 over 70 the
captain of the brigade team. who. in
turn, gave 1t to General Harries, upon
the latter's request.
Right to the Money.
General Harries, so far as can be
learned, was not instrumental In win
ming the money. and therefore had no
more right to receive II than some one
who never went to Sea Grit He re-
ceived it from Major Bell, nevertheless,
and forthwith announced his intention
of purchasing a trophy to be put up for
competition at the Ordway meet in Oc
tober. The men, to whom the money
belonged, objected to this procedure, and
General Harries kept the money until
Major Bell was called to account for it.
The major explained that he gave II
to General Harries. but that was not
where II should have gone. and the Gov
eminent took no such explanation. Cen
that Major Bell would be held account
able for the money, forwarded the $127
TO the War Department.
When General Harries forwarded the
money II was placed in the Treasury,
subject to a claimant The attorneys
for the amount. and after more than
two months IL was allowed. The actual
transfer Of the money to the men viii
be made tomorrow or Friday.

People who were so fortunate as to hear
the address delivered at The Carderas
Academy last evening by Mr.. Curtis vi.
Muse, OF Ellington, express their appre-
citation OF it in the very highest terms.
Mr.. Muse, who graduated at Trinity ard
later took a twoyear course i'll law at
the State University, is one of Lil.-ng
tens foremost attorneys, and brilliant
and forceful speaker. His subject on this
occasion was Education" and he ham
led it well, developing as the central
thought that the future of this govern
ment depends upon the education of ;he
masses.
The talented principal of this school
Mrs. Irene Johnson Cooke, is a graduate

A SAGG|NG MARKET
Spot Cotton Here Yester.
day Held to Previous
Day, but Weak.

While there was little change in the
figures paid for spot cotton here yester-
day, yet the market was weaker IN tone
than on the previous day.
The market sagged and the bidding was
not mde with a vim. The prices paid
ranged from IA cents to IA 1-2 cents a
pound and nineteen bales were Sold
here.
A year ago prices were just cents Il
pound, or $25 bale lower than they were
yesterday the figures for each pound sold
on that day ranged from 8 IA cents to
8 IL cents a pound, twenty-five bales be-
ing the receipts.
Thus far this season the receipts corn
pared with last years make almost a
neck and neck race, this season beil,g
but twenty-six bales behind last season,
1861 bales having been received to da'
as against 12,SS7 to the same date last
year.
This does not mean that in this sec
ton the crop will equal that OF last
year, but rather that the crop is about
exhausted in this section. The big prices
at which cotton has been selling h As
brought out almost everything and the
present big price, for IA to IA IL cents
is big price, continues to draw it out
'All signs fail in fair weather is appli

The government ginners report will he
issued on Tuesday and it is being awaited
with interest. Upon it much hope il
based by those who want the market to
advance. If the reports made previously
arc confirmed or the size of the present
crop is made lower than heretofore
stated. then it is expected that spot cot
ton will certtinly advance, even if only
fraction. What will be the effect only
Tuesday can tell.
Mr.. A. w. Haywood, of Haw River

was in Raleigh yesterday Talking Of Che
cotton situation he said, There's more
money in cotton seed and in mules than

he began a conversation with a man who
was wanting to buy cotton seed.
He's right about there being money
in mules" said Sheriff Page, who was
close by, There is more money in mules
