TO STATE CONSTi.
TUITION TO BE VOTED oNAT
NEXT ELECTION.
It Is to Authorize the Employment Of
Chaplain in All State
Institutions.

In addition to voting for candidates
at the next general election in Novem-
Der, the electors of the state will be
called upon to vote for or against an
amendment to the state constitution.
If the amendment carries the legisla-
ture will be empowered to authorize
the employment of a chaplain at the
state panitentiary or other reformatory
Institutions.
Secretary of State S. II. Nichols has
just prepared the statutory notice that
such amendment will be before the
people.
The section to be amended is section
of article II, which guarantees free
doom of conscience in all matters of
religious sentiment, belief and worship
in this state. The section, however,
provides that no public moneys shall
be expended for any religious worship
or exercise.
The section above referred to has
been construed to forbid the employ
ment of chaplains in the state penal
institutions, and the prayers and other
religious exercises usually held in such
institutions have been either omitted
or else contributed without charge.

PAIL SCHULTZ CLAIMS THAT d.
voRcE PROCEEDINGS WE'RE
NOT LEGALLY CONDUCTED
Asks the Court to AnnuI the Order
Granting His Wife an Abso-
lutte Divorce.

An effort was made in the superior
court this morning to set aside the
decree in the divorce case of Belle
Schultz versus Paul Schultz. mo-
ton to that effect was heard before
Judge Brents and was Overruled. The
matter came up on the filing of an affi-
davit by j. w. Brooks, who alleged
that while he and his partner Guy
Bartlett were acting as attorneys for
Mrs. Schultz, she employed John H.
Pedigo to commence another action for
divorce, which action it was alleged,
made the decree illegal. The evidence
introduced in the court showed that in
May Mrs Schultz employed Brooks &
Bartlett to commence the divorce pro-
ceedingS. About ten days afterWard
Mrs. Schultz and ner husband, Paul
Schultz, agreed to settle their domes-
tic troubles out of court, and the de-
PENDANT agreed to pay the attorneys
for their service.
July IS she then employed Pedigo to
commence another action, which was
done, and the decree was entered on
August Is, the defendant in the case
failing to appear in court and resist
the suit.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Feb. 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak at an advance of one
point to decline of II points, and for
a time showed a declining tendency
under outside liquidation. and some
room selling encourag ed by disappoint-
ing cables and the very unsettled out
look in Europe reflected by the morn
ing papers. The active months in the
absence of bull support sold down
something like 20 points below last
nights finals both here and in New
Orleans.
Later, however, both markets firmed
up on a renewal of aggressive bull
support, and more or less general
demand which. as prices worked up
past last nights figures, caught stop
orders on the short side and resulted
in a very firm and at times, excited
market. March was forced up to 390c,
May to 14.25c and July to 14.27c, this
being a net advance of 1896 points
Oh the active months, and a gain from
the low point of the morning of about
67G70 points.
1t also represented an advance since
the low point of last Wednesday of
over a cent and half a pound and at
this level there appeared to be consid-
cradle selling for profits while it also
appeared that the rooms were inclined
to put out shorts in expectation of
speculative reaction.
The local bull leader was an active
buyer on the upturn, as were also the
New Orleans bull leaders. and one of
the factors in the advance was a re-
port that the New Orleans stock was
soon to be very materially reduced
while the continued demand for May
i'm the local market by prominent spot
interests aroused apprehensions of a
contemplated corner. Notwithstand-
ing these various rumors the market
was rather easier towards the close,
selling off several points under the
pressure referred to and was finally
barely steady at a net advance of $50
IS points. Sales We're estimated at $780,
900 bales. The into-sight figures
proved quite as small as estimated,
reaching only 151671 bales, against
1911 .6S3 bales last year. pointing, it was
considered. toward a very bullish WIS.,
ible supply statement tomorrow. Re-
ceipts for the day were light at both
the ports. and interior points and the
estimates foT tomorrow reflected a
continued light movement.

COnfIdentIy Look for a Sharp Set
back.

COnIdentIY Look for a Sharp Set
back.
New York. Feb 19.-The radical
change in the cotton market pointed
cut last week has continued, and for
the last few days has been more notice.
able than for some time. Instead of
disease imitation. and all the disorders
of a rampant speculation OVERRIDING
things, we have had a healthy legiti-
mate market on a basis of spot cotton.
Weak holdings have been shaken out,
people who refused business at Is cents
and II cents have been good customers
at 13 cents. and in every way the sit
Cation has turned hopeful. This does
not mean that conditions are ripe for
protracted bull campaign in cotton
above IA cents a pound. Quite other
wise, the question of March deliveries
has yet to be settled, the political dis
turbances in Europe are looming up
big.
The crop is larger than many be-
lieved and the weakness in all security
markets casts a gloom over the specu-
lative world. But and here there is
the point: These factors become op-
erative on a substantial rise not on
decline. For while there is likely to
be such demand for spot cotton on a
good break that purchases of a mod
crate scale are sure to return a profit.
The actual supply of cotton is far too
small to permit a collapse in futures
below 13 cents. There is considera BILE
manipulation at times. but this only
permits buyers to get out at larger
profits than would otherwise be the
case. While extremely hopeful over
the outlook on a break and believing
there is all soundness and health in the
market when it gets on a basis of sup
ply and demand for the raw material,
we are not inclined to be bullish on an
advance over ID cents.
Here it is time to take profits, and
wait for a break. The European situa-
| ton is too complicated to make a con-
sentative operator sanguine on an adj
vance of a cent or more. But when
the market breaks and loses a cent or
more. its time to begin buying, but it
is no market to keep buying in the
belief that cotton is going on up with
out a setback. The advance from 12%
cents to 14A cents has been too rapid,
and we look for a sharp setback.

Falling on of 5 Cents-Under-

cred Very Weak at Present-Re-
ceipts of Spirits Continue Very
Light. and Only 40 Casks Were
Reported Yesterday.
Both spirits and resins have shown
but little activity during the week just
ended, and in the former market
nothing doing" has reflected the gen
eral trend. The price of turpentine
has declined to 81 cents, and the medi-
UNI and common grades of resins have
also shown a falling off.
The apathy in the spirits market is
attributed to the fact that quite a
quantity of speculative spirits was
being held. for which exporters re-
fused to pay the prices. AS expect
ed, however, the day of concession
finally arrived. and the market took
the expected tumble. While there was
some little movement yesterday, as
compared to the two previous days
the market can best be judged by the
fact that only Is casks of spirits were
reported sold. The receipts amounted
to 10 casks. and the exports 70 casks.
Rosins-The mediums and commons
declined again, and l and below were
quoted cents off. The undertone of
the lower grades appears to be ex-
tremely weak. The sales for the day
amounted to 2,74O barrels, receipts
2,156 barrels, and exports 1850 barrels.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-02-20


The week has been another of the
Kaleidoscope, irridescent variety. 1t has
seen cotton up the round that led the
more hopeful ones to believe that Is
cent middling was not an oasis in the
desert of speculation after all.
Again it has taken on such bearish
tendencies that those who pray for
the markets downfall have had every
reason to believe that their prayers
would be answered.
Knowing ones predict that from a
statistical standpoint cotton must nee
essarily go higher. The receipts show
a decided falling off every day, which
argues that the crop will fall even be-
low the governments estimate.
New Orleans is reticent regarding
futures. and it is supposed that this
argues another bull movement in the
very near future. With a half day, and
a full holiday on Monday, the bulls
and bears will have ample time to col
lect their scattered ammunition and
there is no telling what the market
will do on the opening Tuesday.
Yesterdays market opened weak at
an advance of l point. The cables
were extremely disappointing ana InlS
added to the downward trend of
things.
Later, on bull support, the market
rallied. and New York closed up from
Is to So points.
Spots were practically at a stand
still and no sales were reported.
The f. o. b. clientele did some little
business, against interior disinclina-
ton on a basis of good middling at
1870, although the market was quoted
steady at 14c at the close.
