Supply of Cotton.

The total available supply of cotton for
amounted to 9,132, 52S bales, as against
SIT ,421 bales for similar months in 1904.
While the total available supply for the
past five months exceeds that for a like
period Sof the previous season by over 95O-
COO bales, the percentage of the total crop
moved is apparently not nearly so large as
it was On January 81, 1904, and this would
seem to indicate that considerable quanti-
ties of cotton were being held back by the
farmers, presumably for more advantage
Gus price. This apparent fact is further
emphasized by stating that the sight re-
ceipts for January amounted to but $780,
S23 bales in contrast with 1881 GA bales
in December, 1851 43o bales in November,
1889, 1928 bales in October and 49,, 1866 bales
in September, the amount of receipts and
the price both showing, in the main, a
steady decrease for the past three months.
The net overland movement for the five
months to January 81 amounted to Gil SS1
bales, as compared with 616 SCI bales for
similar months of the preceding season.
Total export Withdrawals for the months
under discussion amounted to 5,16S 610
bales, being over 100000 bales heavier than
for the similar movement of the previous
season. During the present season the
northern mills have taken 1,365,277 bales
and the southern mills l, 122, 047 bales, in
dicating a decrease in the activities of the
northern mills, but an increase in those of
the south, if comparisons made with
last seasons figures. The total American
stock on hand January 81, both at port
cities and interior towns. amounted to
Ala, 1893 bales, as against L. 6S, 1924 bales on
a like date in 1904.

OUR INLAND COMMERCE
CONDITIONS OF GRAIN, LIVE
STOCK AND COTTON.
Favorable Indications Shown at Nearly
All Receiving Points in the
Middle West.

Internal commerce conditions in the
United tSates during the month of Janu-
airy are summarized in a statement pre-
pared from the January report issued by
the Department of Commerce and Labor
through it's bureau of statistics, and to be
published in the Monthly Summary of
Commerce and Finance for January, 1905:
During the month receipts of live stock
at the five markets of Chicago Kansas
City, Omaha, st. Louis and st. Joseph to-
tailed 3,235,611 head, being considerably in
excess of a like movement in either 1904 or
1903, and slao larger than the arrivals for
the month of December by over 350,O0O
head. The favorable conditions as indi-
Gated by the latter comparison were prin-
cipally due to increases in live stock re-
ceipts at Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha,
especially in the total inbound movement
of hogs and sheep, although a small gain
in the arrivals of cattle was also noted at
each of these three markets
Total receipts of grain at twelve impor-
tant primary markets show heavy decreases
both in comparison with the movement OF
the previous month and for a similar
month in 1901 Gains over the December
arrivals were made at Louisville and To-
ledo, and were largely attributed to a
heavier inbound corn movement at Louis
vile and to an increased oat movement at
Toledo. However, these increases had little
effect equaliZing factor upon the
total losses sustained at the markets of
Duluth, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago,
Kansas City, Peoria and Cincinnati.
Wheat Receipts.
Receipts of wheat at the four leading
spring markets for the present season to
January 81 amounted to no, 1885 bushels,
of which 6O042 $50 bushels arrived at Min
neapolis, 7O3S,390 bushels at Milwaukee,
23,90S, 40 bushels at Duluth and 1868, 205
bushels al Chicago Total wheat receipts at
these cities for a similar period in 1904
totaled 105, 1882 bushels, and for the same
months of 1923, 1886, go bushels. At
the four principal winter wheat markets
receipts from July 1 to January 81 have
been as follows: Toledo, Ass, 673 bushels;
st. Louis IS, 490, $50 bushels; Detroit. 1891,
053 bushels; Kansas City, 81, 59S, 466 bushels;
making total of 56569,074 bushels, in con-
trast with Al, 1882 bushels for the same
period of the preceding season and 62, 445, 461
bushels for 1923

Interstate Commerce act, Hon. judi
son Harmon (Cleveland's Attorney
GeneraD and Frederick Judson, Esq,
were retained to. prosecute. They
decided upon a sweeping course
against all the officials of the Santa Fe
road, including Secretary of the Navy
Morton. The Department OF Justice
baked at prosecuting a member OF
the Roosevelt Cabinet. and Harmon
and Judson refused to continue unless
the prosecution could be carried out.
Therefore, in order to save embar-
rassment, Morton resigns as Secretary

admitted" and Mr.. Byrum was stood
aside without having answered the
question. The public, in the interest
of probing this matter to the bottom,
would like to have Mr.. Byrums an
swer, and the cause of justice demands
that he and all the others of the
eighteen shall be similarly questioned.
The fact that one juror was APP
preached warrants an investigation of
the matter to determine whether the
attempt to influence stopped there or
was carried further.
There is no doubt that there is
belief that attempting in advance 20
ascertain the views of probable jurors
is practiced in Wake county. II is a
fact which developed recently that in
very important trial in Wake county,
certain parties copied the names of the
entire 1900 men on the jury list Of
Wake county employed men to go to
see every one of the 1870, to sound"
him so as to know his probable lean
ings When the case came up for
trial the sentiments of every possible
juror in the county was known to the
attorneys. That was most reprehen
sible, and if known at the time would
have created great and just indigna
ton. That was along the same line
as was the visit of eX-Sheriff Rogers
to Mr.. King. Mind you, Mr.. King
had been summoned on the eighteen
to serve as a juryman at this term of
court when the case against DR.. Kilgo
and Mr.. Duke was to be heard, and
yet, according to Mr.. Kilgo's state
ment, the ex-Sheriff went to see this
illterate man and wanted him to
help Kilgo out!'
Let the investigation be thorough
and complete no matter who is hurt
or which side is guilty!

A FEMININE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Dispatches from Trenton add to the
name of feminine heroines that of Miss
Emily Roebiing--like most heroines
daughter of wealthy Sire-Who
abandoned the sweet and reposeful
naiyete of seventeen summers to be-
come, in accordance with the strenuous
spirit of the age, an animated fire de-
partment in her own lovely and pc
culiar person.
What this has TO do with the case
is not very clear but we learn that not
only was Miss Roebling an expert
horsewoman but that she had likewise
mastered the proper bit to use upon
an automobile, so that she is glowingly
described as an expert "chauffeuse
When the fire-erroneously we take II
accredited to spontaneous combus-
ton broke out in her fathers stables
the young woman first entered the
burning building and led forth four
excited horses, protesting with the
folly Of their kind that they desired
to be burnt. Later the firemen arrived
and Miss Roebling "unhesitatlngly
aided them in their work. The men
ran line of hose to the stables and
Just as the engine started to pump the
hose burst, sending a flood of water
upon the horses attached to the cheml-
cal engine" Naturally the horses
bolted but what she had done for the
horses of her father so did Miss Roe
bling for the Bucepheli of the Trenton
Fire Department.. The way she grab
bed the reins and brought them to
stop was an AmaZonian lesson TO the
Twentieth Century. But this was not
all. The hose ''kinked." Releasing the
pacified steeds, we are informed that
Miss Roebling sat upon the hose with
her knees so that no water escaped
until the firemen could repair the bro
ken joints With the exception of re-
moving half dozen vehicles from the
burning barn Miss Roebling took no
further active part in the fire. We
are panied to learn that she was
"drenched'
The point about this is the mere
matter of the inception of the conffa-
grafton. With the evidence at hand
we deny the theory of spontaneous
combustion. Individually the stables
burst into flame by reason of too close
proximity to Miss Roebling herself. So
warm a maiden would cause combus-
ton anywhere, even in the heart of
poor and ambitious young man. Just
home from q drive the stables natur-
ally ignited at her entrance, as bet
ter things than stables would naturally
do Woman is on the advance. AL
ready she is leaving the firing line far
behind. Having created the blaze
Miss Roebling. in quite the Roosevelt
tian style of strenuous conduct, turned
in her tracks and put it out again
What more appropriate for this am
bilious age of woman's rights and
feminine invasion

LET THERE BE A FULL INVESTI-
CATION.

The jury system is the best method
tween man and men. The expert
ence of generations has shown that
twelve men of average knowledge will
in most cases render a decision in &C
cordance with the evidence and can
be trusted to reach a right conclusion
as to facts better than any judicial Of
ficers. But the jury system, depend
ent absolutely upon securing fair
minded men who have neither formed
nor expressed an opinion, is liable to
be corrupted by undue influence or by
attempts to tamper with jurors.
The most important case that has
been tried in Wake county in many
years is now on trial. 1t was moved
to Wake from Granville because the
defendants CDR Kilgo and Mr. Duke)
made affidavit, after two verdicts had
been rendered against them in Gran
Vile, that they could not get justice
in Granville county. From the day
the case was moved to Wake, no news
paper in the county has discussed the
merits of the case and the feeling OF
all good people in the county is that
the case ought to be tried on its mer-
it's, without attempt to influence any
Juror or to prejudice either of the
parties. 1t is a matter of deep regret
that in getting the jury, evidence came
out that indicated an attempt to in
fiuence one of the Jurors drawn for
this important case, as the following
from yesterdays News and Observer
shows:

ROCKY MOUNTS PROGRESS.
As 1t Is Shown In The Post Office
Receipts
(Rocky Mount Record. )

The Rocky Mount post-office is
showing considerable increase in re-
cepts for the months of 1906 i'm COM
parison with same periods of 1904.
The receipts in April and May, 1904,
were $1,1S3.65 for April and May,
1905, $1,63723 This is an Increase of
$453.5S for the months of this year
compared with 1904. This is over 80
per cent increase, and as the postal
receipts are a good barometer to In
dictate the growth of the town these
figures speak for themselves. The re-
ceipts all told for 1904 were $10,00S.
The Post Office Department requires
as much as $4,000 receipts to give
