told to get off but concluded to go on west

concluded to get off, and being too drunk

Second Story of the Burglary.
Especial to News and Observer

GreenVlI1e, n G, Jan. u
About o'clock this morning burglars
cracked the safe in the store of HaTing-
ton Barber and Co. at Winterville, this
county, and got away with something
over two hundred dollars. Two men llv-
ing across the street from the store saw
lights moving about inside and one burg
lar standing guard at the door, but, were
afraid to go out or give the alarm. Two
holes were drilled in the safe and the
door was blown entirely off with powder.
Searching parties have been hunting the
burglars today but so far have not found
them. Winterville is much excited over
the robbery and censures the two men
who saw the burglars and failed TO give
the alarm.

is familiar wherever the staple is pro-
dUced or sold.
For years. however. he had made n
study of cotton and had familiariZed
himself with every detail of its growth
and sale. This information he gained
while travelling as a buyer in the south
for firm OF Providence cotton dealers
and also as u salesman among the cot
ton mills of New England.
In December. 1902. Sully appeared in
New York. He had conceived the idea
of getting Up 4 corner. Taking adyan-
taSe of the short cotton crop. he form
cd Il pool with two others for the pur-
chase If 100000 bales of cotton These
three men banded themselves together
to lose 100000 before they quit. They
were rever called upon TO advance as
much as single dollar on account of
the speculation. and in March. 1903.
they divided almost S3.o0OOOO.
Since then he has successfully man
aged several other pools. until fate

six years ago was in many respects
similar to Sully's cotton corner. Letter

the Spanish war came along to help
him. and on May 10. 1895. he had put
the price UP to SIS per busheI. But
he held 35,OOO.OOO bushels when the
market slumped, and on June 13 he
