A HIGHER FLIGHT.
July and May Pass Mark
Made Twenty-nine
Years Ago.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 1.-THE speculation in
the cotton market carried May and July
cotton options above seventeen cents a
pound on the local market today for The
first time in twenty-nine years.
Cotton has not passed II cents pound
in New York since 1875, when it went to
II 1-8 It touched 1875 in 1874, 21as in
1873 and 27as in the year of wild specula-
ton, 1872, when the crop, as against 4,S41,-
coo bales in the previous season, when the
South was tlockaded, was $1.90 per pound
in 1854
The rise on today's market was scored
in spite OF heavier receipts and the fail
ure of Southern spot markets (save New
Orleans) to advance.
There was the same wild and overhur-
dened market here as On Saturday. Broll-
ers despaired of executing their orders
according to book. There was intense con-
fusion and an enormous volume of trad
ing.
The market opened excited and higher.
Notwithstanding the sensational advances
of Saturday Liverpool again cabled high
er prices than expected, and the opening
here was strong at an advance of 5000
mark and making new high records for
the season. Following the call the mar
ket advanced still further, though in a
somewhat irregular fashion.
Notwithstanding the heavier receipts
indicated for tomorrow, the market af-
ter reacting to within few points of the
opening figures, was rallied again chiefly
as a result of aggressive buying by New
Orleans, and was soon selling at level
still higher than that OF the early morn
ing. March in the late trading sold at
1904, May at 17.46, and July at 17.55, a
net gain of 65 to 70 points and an advance
since last Fridays closing OF nearly a
cent and half a pound. Trading was
active on the second advance, including
continued buying for the account Of spot
people, who were believed to be covering
hedges, and for public accounts. The close
was firm at nearly the best with the more
active months AZ to 50 points higher.

Wilmington, N. c., Feb. IA. w. Riv-
EMBARK, confined in the county Jail here
upon verdict of commission of lunacy
yesterday a week ago, must remain under
the authorities of the law, habcas corpus
proceedings instituted Saturday having
failed him this afternoon before Judge
Ferguson, to whom the unfortunate man
addressed a letter which was construed
by the court as lawful petition for the
writ by which he hoped to gain his lib
ertv.
Judge FergusoE's decision to continue
the man in custody was upon receipt of
an opinion from a board of five physi-
clans appointed as experts to examine
into the case.
They declared the patient Of unsound
mind, but upon their recommendation he
will be given the widest latitude possible
Later it was stated under favorable con-
6itions he might be allowed to visit his
old home in Dupln county. AS no place
can be found for him in the State institu-
ton at Raleigh, he will be made comfor-
table in a few days at the county home
It is said that combined with others, one
cause of the unfortunate mans mental
condition was the excessive use of bromo
seltZer.

Railway Of criminal negligence IN not pro
yiding an engine of the right weight fOl
the train and using an engine that IN

AS a matter of fact the southern Rail
way did not really want Mr.. Lacy in
GoIdsboro nor for him to testify, but
the subpoena was probably served fiji
teen minutes before train time merely
to obtain a continuance of the case.
To show that this is the fact the testj-
mony that Mr.. Lacy would have given Is
conclusive evidence. When a subpoena
was served upon him at 1915 yesterday
morning he was greatly surprised, and
he had a right to be surprised after the
information which had come straight to
him that he would not be needed.

And in the court room and out OF the

Febius and "winked the other eye wher

possible from the time when it must face

to keep away from Panama as an issue.
While bill proposing relief to an indi-
vidual from the operations of the act re-
ownership of lands in
the territories and the District of
Columbia tc American citizens was under
consideration Mr.. Hepbur asked the nmi-
nority if they had changed front on this
question, and why they were now willing
to support exemptions from the opera
tions Of that act in view of the attitude
they assumed at the time of its enact
ment. Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.), asked Mr..
Hepburn if the legislation in question
was not passed when they, had the Cleve-
land brand of Democracy rather than the
Bryan brand, as Mr.. Hepburn had sug-
gested, whereupon Mr.. Hepburn advised
the Democrats to return to the Cleveland
brand
Mr.. Pou, IN. c., suggested to Mr.
Hepburn that the Republican party by
their votes sent Populists to the House
from the South at the time to which Mr..
Hepburn referred.
ION, no! replied Mr.. Hepburn. 'It
was the Kansas variety of Populists, the
Nebraska variety the w. j. Bryan tribe
of Populists that did this"
Mr.. Thayer criticised the action of the
President in the Panama matter as hasty
and concluded:
I'VE want the canal and we shall have
it, but we 90 not want it to the detriment
OF our good name. which Is above all
price, and we would have had it without
the possibility of criticism of cur conduct
IN procuring it, had impetuous haste
waived upon calm judgment and conserv-
ative action"
The House today had under considera
tion the diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill, which was pending when
the House adjourned until tomorrow.

Greensboro. n. c., Feb. Mrs. ]. e.
Henderson died hero today of consump-
ton and will be buried from the Catholic
church tomorrow. She came to Green's
boro from Kentucky four years ago with
a small girl child. She was an intelligent,
modest brave little woman. For some
time after coming here she seemed to
have the means of a modest support, sent
by her husband, who she said was a tray
cling man. After awhile it became evi-
dent that she was in distress for the ne.
cessaries OF life. Her health was very
frail, and kind benevolence in a delicate
way provided room and sustenance for
her and the little girl
Later, her health improving, she was
able to support herself by work in the
shoe factory. But her disease continuing
to make inroads, some months ago she
had to give this up, and the Ladies Aid
Society, with other kind hearts, saw that
her passage to the grave was made as
little rough as possible

know, say, occasionally came to see her,
but always came at night, left in the
darkness, and was never made acquainted
with any one here, or so far as is known,

The wife was always refined and gen.
tie, and even those whose continual and
constant charity entitled them to know
something of him, and his objectionable
failure to provide for his wife and child,
respected her secret, and sought not to
learn what she forbore to communicate

which had come into her life

CURRITUCK SOUND FROZEN OVER.
Farmers InStitute---Rather Poor Sea-
son for Game, Good for Fishing.
Especial to News and Observer


Currtuck, G. H., N. c., Feb. 1-If the
weather had not been SO disagreeable
we are sure that hundreds of people
would have been here in attendance at
the Farmers Institute. Notwithstanding
the very bad weather several were here
and showed great interest in the subjects
ably discussed by the State Chemist, DR..
b. w. Kilgore, Mr.. G. b. Williams and
DR.. Tat Butler, the State Veterinarian.
Those gentlemen made a fine impression
on cur people, not only the. farmers but
al! who heard them. 1t is a source OF
regret that the weather was so that our
farmers, especially as whole, could not
be here to hear them.
The people in our county, especially on
the farms along Currituck Sound and its
bays and tributaries, did exceedingly well
last year in trucking, the Irish and sweet
potatoes being the principal crop and
information such as gained today Will
bp of great value to them.
Currituck Sound has been frozen over
twice this winter with the ice hard
enough to walk across it. That is some
thing that does not often occur During
a freeze like those the game, such as
duck, geese and swan get quite poor, but
it does not take long for them to get
back to their normal condition This sea-
son for game has been rather poor one,
but the fishermen, as a rule, have done
exceedingly well.
Our people did exceedingly well farm
ing last year and are looking to this
coming season with much interest.
