TO TAKE IN MORE
PATIENTS
Director of Hospital for
Insane Will Make
Provision.

DR. P. L. Murphy, Superintendent of
the Western Hospital for the Insane at
Morganton; DR.. James Mckee, Superin-
rendent of the State Hospital here, and
DR.. L. J. Picot, of Littleton, members of
the executive committee of the State Hos
pital met in this city yesterday morning
and discussed the affairs of the two hos
pitfalls for the insane, the number of pa
tients in the respective districts outside
of the institutions with view to an
equalization of admission to the hospit-
ais, and to submit the information OBJ
tanned to the respective Boards of Di-
rectors for any action they may deem
proper.
There are now one hundred beds for wo
men patients at the Morganton Hospital,
but they are unoccupied for lack of
money to provide food and raiment and
the necessary additional guards. The
doctors yesterday had under consideration
the question of raising sufficient money
to accommodate one hundred additional
women patients at Morganton, and thus
relieve at least for the present the press
ing need of the female insane patients
throughout the State, now necessarily
confined in the county jails and the De-
partment for the Insane at the States
Prison. or not confined at all.
If the money could be raised, that is. if
the Boards of Directors at their next
meeting should decide that means should
be provided or'this purpose, the plea is
to admit women patients to the Morgan
ton Hospital to the extent OF the accom-
modations from this district, as well as
the western district. This would relieve
the pressing necessity, as it is learned
that there are not many more than one
hundred insane women in immediate need
of care and restraint.
1t is understood that the directors OF
the two institutions will vote at their
next meeting in favor of borrowing the
amount necessary to maintain the addl-
tional women patients, about $4,000, and
that this sum will be secured at once and
the much needed relief afforded to these
unfortunate wards of the State.

Three Bales of Cotton
Was the Best RALEIGH
Could do Yesterday.

There was no great change of any kind
on the Raleigh spot market yesterday be-
yond slight forward movement of cot
ton.
For the first time in many days some
cotton was sold here. and though the
receipts were but three bales, these served
to get an idea of the prices offered on
this market, and the result is an apparent
advance of quarter of a cent.
The three bales sold here were off grade
cotton, being tinged, but despite this 14A
cents pound was paid. and the market
was stated to be able to stand prices up
10 14h cents pound 49, r..
A year ago cotton for the first time
that season reached 10 cents pound. On
that day eighteen bales of cotton were
sold in Raleigh at prices ranging from
97s cents to 10 cents a pound. The 10
cent point at that time was hailed with
delight and there was boom in cotton
selling anticipated at the news of that
amount being paid.
The future market was irregular yester
day, and at the end of the day closed
5arely firm. Prices going up above IA
cents seemed to unsettle conditions but

gard the situation as most hopeful and
expect that there will be continued ad-
vance.
But at present all is guess work. and
there is nothing to depend on except that
with a short crop the prices will go as
high as it is possible for the mills to
stand There is but little cotton moving
now, and if the shortage continues the
result would seem to favor an advance.
At present prices the farmers who have
cotton are not selling, unless they are
forced to do

Dear Sirs We manage to get some fun
