BUCKET SHOPS" NOT LIABLE
Gupreme Court HoIdts that Business
License LeuaIizes.

License LegaIizes.
Atlanta, Feb. 1G.-By decision of
the supreme court the sO-called buck
ct shops" are not compelled to make
good or return money to those Gus
toners who try to make money on
futures" but lose.
1t was the ruling of the court that
money lost could not be recovered
through suits brought on the ground
that such business was gambling and
against the statutes of the state. AS
the so-called bucket shops paid Ii
cense of 1000 for carrying on just
this sort of business, the customer who
tried to make money but lost could not
recover on the ground Of gambling.
This case was that of w F. Shrop
shire against Miller & Co, brokers',
in which Shropshire alleged that he
lost $500 on futures and so sued
for its return The case was carried
from a justice court to the supreme
court.
The state law on gaming gives the
loser a chance to sue for the recovery
of money lost providing suit is com
menced within six months, or failing
that, within four years provided ne
shares it with the school fund.

Startling But True.

Peo;ie the world over were Mortified

people lost their lives, yet more than
i've times this number or over 5000 peo-
pie died from pneumonia in Chicago

passing notice. Every one of tn Sc
cases of pneumonia resulted from a cold
aud could have been prevented by th %
timely use of Cnsmberlain's Cough

reason to fear pneumonia have w8rded
1t off by the prompt use of this remedy.

Cotton Letter.

Americus, Ga, Feb. 16.-While the
market today kept within the narrow
range of ten points and closed only
higher than last night, the tone has
been healthy with sentiment showing
decided trend toward the bull SIDE.
It Is noticeable that 81 Ia L. YER the May
option approached the IL cent mark,
selling of persistent character has
been encountered.
A good many people have evidently
become convinced that IL cents as q
permanent price for any Of the sum-
mer months vi not ID Id, and that
sales around that level are safe.
On every one of the recent rises,
short lines have been put cut ard no
doubt the interest GU that side of the
market is considerable. Any advance,
which would carry prices above II
cents and hold there for any length of
time-wiII have a decided sentimental
effect in destroying the confidence OF
shorts and may lead to wholesale COW
ering.
Liverpool advices were favorable and
though spinners are moving slowly in
the matter of purchases since prices
here have stiff9ned up, the belief is
growing that the bottom has been seen
and that higher markets are ahead OF
US. There is little doubt that a very
large short interest exists in the three
markets.
Spot markets, while not particularly
active, show plainly that spinners are
becoming uneasy over the change in
sentiment. Some of them betray their
belief in maintenance OF a good level
of prices we'll into next season by
heavy purchases of the October option
OF about 80 points under July.
Should any active spot demand de-
velop both exporters and spinners will
soon discover that all weak cotton has
already been disposed of and that buy
ers henceforth will have q different
class of sellers to deal with. Liverpool
