Expect Prices to Go Higher.


Mr. Hauenstein, who is a recog-
nized authority on conditions govern
ing the cotton market, stated to a
News reporter this morning that, in
his opinion, the price would go still
higher, although he did not anticipate
a material advance within sixty days.
His bank is carrying for its customers
about 5000 bales, and they are being
advised to hold for further advance
in prices.
Local brokers say that the demand
for spots is limited, and that selling
orders are scarce. The limited de
mand for spots by European mills b
said to bes2n account of the prevail
ing high prices, but it Is thought that
those SEills will be compelled to buy
at a still higher figure.
PrSetically full crop was produced
insshis Territory this season, the total
number of bales being nearly as great
as for any former year. 1t Is geners
ally conceded that the south Missis-
sippi territory has produced Z better
crop this season than any section OF
the country, while total failure has
never been known here.

First Struck Down,

It is probable that Mrs. Hunter was
the first to be struck down; that she
met the murderer at the door as he
entered and was struck before she
could escape.
Then the murderer, stealthily ap-
preaching aged Mrs. Gribble, killed
her. 1t is believed that Mrs. Ohlan-
her, as she left her room to enter the
hallway, was assaulted and killed. Mrs.
Hunters skull crushed in, and her
death is a matter of but few hours.

Last season the local compress
handled $1,000 bales, about 5000 of
which were received from the COM
press at Mount Olive on account of
its inability to handle the same
promptly by reason of an accident to
machinery. This year it is estimated
that 10000 will be handled here, which
will make a shortage of about 5000
bales.
OF the 11,000 bales which are being
held in the local compress, the banks
of Hattiesburg are carrying 5000 for
merchants and farmers, and, accord

KING MANUEL
TO MARRY

The announcement that King Manuel
of Portugal is to marry Princess Bea-
trice of Saxe-Coburg has not caused
the earth to depart from It's usual orbit.
There are really SO many of these prin-
cesses that it is hard to keep track
of them, their births, marriages, and
deaths. Of course we all know who
King Manuel is, although it would be
safe to say that not one in ten of us
had ever heard of him before the as.
sassination of his father raised him to
the throne. The general impression we
then formed of him was a good one.
He had a good-tempered, boyish face,
but all the pleasant signs of youth are
said to have disappeared under the
cares of state.
We may have liking for King Man
uel and yet be utterly at a loss to un-
derstand why any sensible girl should
be willing to marry him, unless he
should consent to abdicate and to lead
a life that is not quite so strenuous
as his present one. Portugal is notori-
ously on the verge of revolution. The
king and his mother are practically
prisoners in the palace, exposed to the
insults of the populace, and compelled
to acquiesce in the public celebrations
that have marked the anniversary of
the royal assassination. The men re-
sponsible for that crime, the men who
actually committed it, have not been
punished. At least one of them has
been rewarded, and the king can hardly
show his face in the street without be-
ing atfronted and threatened with the
same fate that befell his father. And
yet this boy whose life is not worth
an hours purchase, whose royal digni-
ties are mere mockery and pretense,
can find princess who is willing to
marry him and so become poor, pitiful
queen whose only kingdom will be the
fragile unrealties of a court etiquette
that may be tolerable when the loyalty
of nation is behind it, but that must
surely be unbearable when it has be-
come a mere screen against popular
contempt and dislike.
Princess Beatrice of SAKE. Coburg Is
the youngest daughter of the late Duke
of Edinburgh and she is therefore King
Edward IS niece. Was it not the Duke
of Edinburgh who became naturaliZ
ed Germanl In this case the young
lady will not have to ask the consent
of the English king. but it is hardly
likely that this would be refused, seeing
that Princess Victoria was allowed To
marry the King of Spain, who is nearly
as much of a detrimental as hi:
royal brother of Portugal. As a mat
ter of fact there is very little choice
for the young princesses of today, The
number of kings is limited, while there
seems to be no limit to the number
of their daughters. Royal ladies of mar
riageable age must take what offers ant
, without too much regard for the stabil
lty of the throne that goes with it.

OCEAN RACE BETWEEN THE ALAMEDA AND MONGOLI la
Detailed Story by an Advertiser Representative
of the Two Thousand Mile Contest Be-
tween Two Fine Steamers July 7-l3.
BY w. L. Castle,

Especial Correspondent, Advertiser.)
H'Tis the sunrise of life gives me
mystical lore,
And coming events cast their shadows
before"
Three cheers for the good old Ala
medal Three cheers for Captain Dow
dell and his valiant crewl And one
must not forget the hundred and one
passengersl
Never in the history of the Pacific
has there ever been a race run such as
we have just finished with the Pacific
Mail liner "Mongolia, Captain Nor
ton. For six days straight both the
Alameda and Mongolia have been in
sight of one another, first one-ahead,
then both neck and neck for nearly
two days, then the other ahead; with
all kinds of weather varying from
smooth seas to a northerly gale; and
the good old Alameda has made good
and proved herself as good today for
speed as she was when she was built
Just twenty seven years ago. Captain
Dowdell has been running on the Pa
cifc for twenty-one years and Cnlef Of
fcer Dawson for twenty three years
between San Francisco and Honolulu;
and neither of them have ever had
the experience they have just gone
through, nor do they expect to have a
similar experience for many years to
come.
It was a magnificent sight stand ng
upon the deck of the Alameda during
the day time and watching the Mon.
golia speeding along at fifteen knot
70 hn n nf
her tunnels every minute of the time.
Also during the moonlight evenings it
was fine sight to watch the big
liner steaming along all illuminated.
How many engagements were made and
how many were broken by the younger
couples was not made public before we
reached San Francisco. Through the
Kindness OF DR.. Currie We passed quar-
antine inspection at sea.
Captain Dowdell followed the Great
Circle Route while with the exception
of one day Captain Morton steered a
course of about fifteen miles to the
southwark. Possibly in five years
more Captain Morton may try to beat
the "Alameda again in the great 210O
mile race by the same "five hours"
The following gives in detail the ex-
act position of both ships at noon of
each day which taken in connection
with the accompanying map will give
every one a good idea Of the wonder

KU|[| PONDS TO Be
FILLED FROM HARBOR

The dredging out of the two sides of
the Hackfeld slip is going to prove
a good thing in more ways than one.
Not only win more and better steamer
accommodation be afforded, but also
one of the notwithstanding swamps
of the city will be filed up.
Superintendent Marston Campbell
stated yesterday afternoon that the ap.
proximately $4,000 cubic yards of ma
terial that is to be dredged out Of the
slip will be used to fill up the Kuili
ponds-or to fill them as far as it win
90. Mr.. Campbell has also written a
letter to the Board of Supervisors
notifying them that he had made ar.
rangements to allow the dumping of
garbage in the Kuili ponds. Ample
space will be left, he says, for the
disposal of garbage for long time to
come.
