"Miss Helen F. Ames OF Portland might

''Hhe young woman was thrust Of the
platform by the surging crowd, down to

"As she stood there, dazed. with a train
barely 100 yards away and coming around
the curve at a lively clip, Edison jumped
down, too, and grasping her firmly,
carried her 10 the outwork OF the station
superstructure. barely foot wide, where
he held her until the train had moved on
'sThen he carefully helped her across
the deadly third rail to the edge OF the
platform, where willing hands helped
them to safety.
Edison refused to discuss the matter
and his name was only learned as he wss

out the necessary report. Miss Ames was
profuse in her thanks, but Edison modest

C. C. Jones, of Goldsboro, is held over

Bank of Dunn was returnable before
Judge Geo H. Brown, holding court in

MIR. E. T. Young, president of the bank,

Messrs. w. E. Murcnison, Of Jonesboro;

positors and 80 FER cent. Of the stockhold-
CTS, besides some Of the creditors, asking
Judge Brown 10 appoint Mr.. Young per-
mancnt receiver, as they believed he
could derive more from the assets than
anyone else, owing 20 his connection with
the business
1t seemed tnat the request was made
without the solicitation OF Mr. Young
There was no objection 20 Mr. Stewart,
or any lack CT confidence in his entire
competence, but it was merely thought
shat from a business standpoint Mr..
Young could get moro for the bank.
Mr. w. 4. Stewart was also in court
and representing him was Mr.. Perrin

represented by Messrs. II. L. Goodwin, r.

1t was shown to the court that Mr..
Young owed the bank $3.50 and was en-
dorser to the extent of 10000 for q, large
and solvent mill, also that Nj. Young
had sold $4,000 worth of his property out
side Of the bank and paid it in, as that
was the amount Of his stock.
Judge Brown thought that inasmuch as
Mr.. Young was endorser for $40 900, and
owed the bank something, it might give
occasion to some conflict between the
duties as receiver and bank officer. He
stated from the bench that, instead of
there being any reflection upon Mr.
Young, he considered it one of the high
est compliments that could be paid a
president of bank that had assigned fer
the depositors and stockholders to re-
quest his appointment as receiver. But it
was a we'll settled principle of law that
no one indebted TO an insolvent corpora
ton should be made receiver for that cor
poration. 4 Il! ~aR s@M

of January and up to the beginning of
February Russian military activity was
still further intensified.
Seeing that the situation. had become
so critical that it admitted of no further
delay, the Japanese government was com
PEELED to break Off negotiations that had
proved abortive and take the necessary
steps for self protection.
It is the almost unanimous opinion OF
iurists that declaration Of
war is not an indispensable prerequisite
TO the opening of hostilities. Indeed it
has been the common practice in recent
wars to declare war after hostilities have
been begun. Japan's action. therefore, is
not open to the least criticism in this re-
gard. From the standpoint of interna-
tonal law it must be acknowledged that
the charge made against her does not
come with good grace from Russia, mas
much as there are many historical in
stances of Russia herself resorting to hos
tilities without declaring war

London Comments on the Attack.
nv The Associated Press

London, March 1.-The pause in the war
operations in the Far East has been brok-
en- by another japanese attack on Port
Arthur, of which only the foregoing brief
account is yet to hand. This report, how
ever, shows repetition Of the now famll-
lar tactics OF Japan.
1t is presumed that this attack was
made in bad weather, previous telegraph
io ,advices having reported severe gale
raging at Port Arthur. AS usual the
japanese did not remain long enough off
the harbor to enable the gunners at the
forts to get their range. Again also the
same three cruisers, the Bayan, the Ask
oldsand the Novik, came out to meet the
attack, and this suggests that either they
were the only effective ships there or
that the larger battIeships were unable to
get out

To DECIDE TODAY AT FIFTEEN CENTS
Raleigh Cotton Market
No Advance, but New
York Moves Up.

Cotton did no plunging act upward yes
terday but gripped close the fifteen cent
mark.
Seven bales were received here during
the day, and the prices paid ranged from
14A to Is cents a pound. The market was
steady and the undertone was good.
A year ago the receipts fell to one bale,
and for that the price paid was 9 1916
cents a pound. The price yesterday was
little over cents a pound in advance of
that year ago.
y The New York spot market showed
another advance yesterday, and this was
a quarter of a cent, or 25 points, and the
market went up from 1886 to 1850. The
spot market there closed firm.
The future market did some wobbling
It fuctuated in small range and finally
closed the day about 10 points lower than
The preceding day and closed barely
steady
Spot cotton was not affected by the flu
turc market, as the advance on it was a
cteady advance, as the gain of 20 points
show. The receipts were small and the
demand for the spot was such as to keep
UP the price and to push it higher.
With spot advancing and futures fiuctua-
ating there is no telling what the mar
kct will do today. An advance on spots
would seem in order under the conditions,
but no one dare predict it, for there may
be a slight break, and the prices may re-
treat. The day must tell its own story
and each man must run his own guessing
machine. for in the cotton market nova
days the old rule of continued mystery
as to prices holds good.
A big bale Of cotton was bought yester
DAY for Messrs. Barbee & Brother by Mr..
Bob Haynes. It weighed 772 pounds and
was brought to Raleigh by Mr.. j. J. Jor-
dan, of Panther Branch township, who
also brought another bale weighing 500
pounds, receiving for the two bales a
check for S17IO6.
