shots were coming from or who fired

BAPTIsTs TO MEET.
Unfortunate Shooting Affair Is Pulled
 of In Bullock.

Union Springs, October 5.-(Special.)- The Centennial Baptist association will be held at Mt. Carmel fourteen miles from town, next Thursday and Friday. The following delegates from the Baptist church were elected at regular conference last night: Messrs T. B. Miles, A. w. Beverly, J. c. Laurence. J. H. Eley, B. T.. Hey, D. A. Caylor, T. M Ghoston. R. l.. Baker, George Pierce, J. A. Lynch, Rev. F. H. Watkins, Capt J. H. Rainer, Dr. c. H. Franklin, Dr. T. J. Dean.
 On account of wreck beyond Eufaula the Central of Georgia train from there to Montgomery did not reach here today until o'clock. Many passengers were inconvenienced by this delay.
 A shooting which was especially un- fortunate occurred this week near Loflin neighborhood, this county, when MT. John Harrison was shot by MT. Barney For ham, 1t being a case of mistaken identity. The information is that MT. Forham was expecting trouble with some one and had been warned of it. That night MT. Har rison happened to ride by MT. Forham s place. His mule threw him off, and MT Forham hearing the noise outside. thought his enemy had arrived, 50 he picked up his shot gun and went out to meet him halfway. When he saw Mir. Harrison he opened fire and put a load of shot into him before he discovered his mistake. MT. Harrison is badly wounded but his phy- sician thinks that his wounds will not prove serious. MT. Harrison and MT. Forham were the best of friends and neighbors.

COTTON AGAIN GOES OVER ELEVEN CENTS Market Has Another Very Ex-
 citing Day BULLS WERE IN THE LEAD Reactions During the Day Were Small and the Close Was at a Net Ad-

 Points.
BULLS WERE IN THE LEAD

New York, October 5.-The cotton mar ket had very strong and excited ad- vance at the opening today with tho spring months selling above II cents and the general list about 40 points, or $2 a bale, over the closing figures of the pre- vlous day on stop loss orders covering and tremendous buying by the south local and Liverpool bulls Reports of further storms in the south and a pre- diction of squeeze among dealers short of actual cotton for October delivery were the factors in the advance. October here sold at 10SS, or 219 points above the recent low level. Shorts seemed to be panic stricken in all quarters and December contracts in New Orleans sold 77 points above the close of last night.
 There were several reactions of 10 or P points during the middle session, but the market continued very active and excited and the best prices were reached in tho late trading. October sold at 1O.W, De- cember 10.9S and March Ill, or 46 to ol points net higher on predictions of frost in the southwest and rumors of gulf storm off the Florida coast. In the last few minutes there was heavy realizing and the market closed fairly steady at a net advance of 3S to 45 points. The sales were estimated at 750,0G0 bales.
