cothran 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

There was another break in cotton this morning and December sold at about 91a cents.
 It was Eothing but cotton all the morn- ing. It seemed to come from every di- rection and in such quantities that there was no buying power strong enough to take the stuff and hold the price. It was the heavy sales by the south and spectators that discouraged the pit
 There was so little inducement to buy that the traders whn usually buy on breaks did not care to try 1t this morn ing.
 When the rally came later in the day it was all the quicker because those who had been waiting for the first signs of a let-up in the pressure rushed in and bought.
 The tone improved considerably after the morning break This improvement should have been shown early in the day whe it was seen that frost had taken place all through the Atlantic

County Committee Orders a Primary
 for February 10.

TOT Eepruary 1U.
 Double Springs, Jan. 4.-CSpecial. )-Tnc Republican Executive Committed. of Win ston County, met at the Court House here Friday for the purpose of formulating plans for the coming campaign. In ad- dition to the members of the committee there were present perhaps POO of the rank and file of the party.
 After some discussion it was decided to hold primary election February 10, the candidate for any office receiving the most votes to be the nominee. Several members of the party took advantage of the occasion to notify the people that they could be persuaded to abandon thcIr private businesses to serve the county m public capacities. Notably among these was John s. Curtis, for twelve years clerk of the Circuit Court, and for the past eighteen years the "belled wether' of Winston Republicans. MT. Gurus wishes to succeed Hon. R. l.. Blanton ds Probate Judge; r. O. Burdick also an- nounced for that office. This will be a lively tilt, as Mir. Curtis and Mir Burdit K are confessedly two of the most popular men in'their party.
 There was from one to half dozen an- nouncenents for each of the other offices to be filled, and the eagerness with which the candidates anounce carries conviction that they hope to win out at the gem eral election
 winston, it will be remembered had been continuously Republican since tire ciivl War until six years ago, when the county Democracy elected it's entire ticx. ct. Two years ago the Republicans car. ried the county.

PIKE COUNTY COMMITTEE.
Fixes April 2 as Date for Holding
 Primary

Troy. Jan. 4.-(Special. .)-The Coun.y Democratic Executive Committed met here Saturday to fix the date on which to hold primary election for the pu'- pose of nominating candidates for county offices. D. R. Brannen, County Solicitor presided, being the Chairman of the Couh- ty Executive Committee, and there were present in the meeting eleven other com mittemen. Four failed to attend. Beats l, 3, 1, 5, 2, 8, 10, II, 14 and 15 were rep resented.
 The committee fixed Saturday, April 2 as the day for holding the primary, but adopted resolution to the effect that If the State Executive Committee should fix the time for holding the general primary earlier than May 1, the Chairman of the County Executive Committee should have authority to change the date of holding the county primary to conform to the date for holding the general pri- mary. The committee adopted the plan of a single primary for the nomination of county officers.
 It fixed the qualifications of the voters in the primary election. all white Dem oeTats qualified to vote according to the present election laws can participate in the primary.
 The Beat Democratic Executive Com mittees are to appoint the managers and returning officers for the primary. The Committee fixed the sums lnat should be assessed against the respective candI- dates for the purpose of defraying the expense of printing tickets, etc.
 Candidates for Probate Judge are to be assessed 8 each, and all the candidates for other county offices except candidates for County Commissioner are to be as- sessed g each, and candidates for County Commissioner A each. If there should be more than enough to pay the expenses of the election the balance is to be returned to the candidates for Probate Judge until their amounts are brought down to &, each, and if there is still surplus after doing this, the balance is to be prorated among the candidates.
 At the county primary delegates are to be elected to the County Convention for the purpose of electing delegates to the State Convention.
 The preliminary hearing of Frank Bled- soc, charged with shooting Dawkins at Llnwood few days ago, was set for Sat urday, to be heard before Justice Reeves of this city. After the hearing was ent- cred into the defendant decided to waive the preliminary trial, and gave bond to await the>act;on of the grand jury.
 Rev. Mir. Dannelly, the Methodist Min ister, who was sent to the Methodist Church here by the annual conference has arrived in the city with his family, to take charge of his work. The peop;s here seem to be very much pleased with him.
