Since he has been at the penitentlary, he has suffered the loss of one hand. thought that may be since he was crip- piled in this way while .ln the service of the State that perhaps he ought 10 be given his freedom before the expi- ration O fthe term for which he was sentenced.
 "A parole is, therefore, ordered de-. pendent upon his future good conduct:

ANOTHER NOON IN COTTON.

The cotton market is again in the
hands of the spectators and the price
of that staple is once more booming, the
reduced crop and the danger of injury
from floods giving the bulls their oppor-
tuhity, which 1t is needless to say they
are taking full advantage Of 1t is
stated that this years crop is the lowest
in condition for twenty-five years, ex-
cept 1903 Such being the case it is by
no means improbable that the price Of
cotton will be run up by the spectators
to even higher figures than were reached
last year, making a new record and of
course raising the price of cotton goods
to the consumer. As an eastern paper
remarks, the conditions are ideal for
spectators and perniclous to consuming
interests. 1t is situation that is quite
beyond remedy, yet it is certainly a pity
that the price boomers and crop re-
ducers cannot leave the cotton industry
to itself. However, as this is impos-
sible, 1t is a good suggestion that CON
sumers would do we'll TO leave the
spectators to themselves and look to
the facts instead of to market vagaries
for their opinions.
Meanwhile public interest In the cot
ton situation is somewhat sharpened by
the investigation instituted IN the De-
partment of Agriculture regarding the
alleged cotton report leak. This has re.
suited in the dismissal Of one employe
Of the department and probably there
will be others. The attorney general is
considering the question of prosecuting
those who may be found to have given
out information and they certainly
ought to be punished.
