THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

A New York dispatch of last night
described the developments in the
speculative cotton market yesterday
as follows:
After q sharp early advance the cot
ton market was nervous and unsettled
today with the close steady at an ad-
vance of to Z points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance Of to points, with active
months selling to 10 points net high
er during the early trading on the
strength of Liverpool cables, the alb
sence of further rains Of consequence
in the southwest, support from some
Of the local bulls, covering by yester-
days sellers and buying through houses
with Liverpool connections. But the
support was not nearly SO aggressive
as at times earlier In the week and
the advance attracted a renewal OF
very heavy realizing by some of the
old longs under which prices weakened
and not only lost the early advance but
sold off to a net decline of about
to points during the afternoon. The
close was within or 3 points Of the
lowest. Private spot news was con-
fiicting, some wires being received from
the south reporting a good demand
and firm holders, while others claimed
that the demand from the trade is
slackening and that spot cotton was
offering freely. The late decline in Liv-
erpool was attributed by private cables
to American selling orders and free
spot offerings from the south. The
western belt forecast was for unset

aid, of venerated memory in the As
ISOLATED Reformed church, and was
born at Richburg, on November %,
1859, and was graduated from Erskine

a course in the Theological seminary,
he was licensed to preach by the First

afterward installed as pastor Of Steele

when he accepted a call to Winns-
boro. He remained at Winnsboro
about two yeas ago, when he accept
ed a call to Chester, where he has
been since.
In all of his different pastorates, Mr.
Mcdonald left a record Of achievement
in the shape of stronger congregations,
new churches, parsonages and in
creased zeal. He was q popular ora
tor, an eloquent preacher, an able
scholar, and Of a bright, sunny dispo-
sition that brought him very close to
all kinds Of people. Referring to his
desperate illness yesterday, the Ches-
ter Reporter had the following:
To show the general esteem in which
Rev. Mr.. Nc; -onald is held, not only
here in Chester where he has lived fol
something more than year and In
winnsboro, where he labored faithful
ly and effectively for so many years
Of his pastoral career, but in many 9TH
er communities where he is known
there has been manifested the tender
est and most constant solicitude OF
friends and acquaintances, the prayer
of all being that God in His infinite
and all-wise providence may see fl
to restore this trusted servant OF His
speedily to his accustomed health and
strength, so that he may take up anew
the work that he has so successfully
wrought during his short residence In
Chester.
Mr.. Mcdonald was married in 1885
to Miss Margaret Elizabeth Harris OF
York county. She died June 15, 1908
leaving several children. He leaves
only one brother, Hon. ]. q. Mcdonald

boro.
From such information as could be
had this morning, the funeral services
are to be held in Chester this after
noon at o'clock, and the intermen'
is to take place at Winnsboro tomor-

To STRENGTHEN the Courts.

There Is nothing that is human that
is perfect. and this must be kept ir
mind at all times in the consideration
of all things human.
The sweetest blessing that mankind
enjoys probably is liberty, and while
this is a definite, concrete thing, 1t is
fact that there are thousands who
do not know what 1t means, and who
give it no more concern than they give
the no more important air they
breathe.
The most glorious tradition in the
history Of this country is seven years
war that was once waged, not for pres
tige, power or territorial greed; but
for liberty. Whether the real object OF
this war was liberty, may still be
question; but it is quite certain that
no other end, no other watchword, nc
other Shibboleth, If only Shibboleth II
was, would have ever sustained oul
patriotic forefathers in the self-sac-
rificing courage and heroism that they
put forth to win success.
Liberty is the offspring Of wisdom
and virtue, the right to pursue Goo
given happiness without danger OF
molestation by, or interference from
any vicious, hostile force, and needs tc
be protected against injustice, which
it hold in adherence. 1t is the most
precious possession that has ever beer
given to man, we'll worth all the blood
that has ever been shed on account
Of it; but not to be maintained ant
enjoyed except through the rugged in
tegrity. of eternal vigilance.
1t is common to speak Of our fore
fathers as having established liberty
by means of the sword: but this Is 6
mistake 1t is not to be denied thai
they used their swords nobly, and he
roically, and that they accomplished
all that it was in the power Of the
sword to accomplish; but they did no.
establish liberty. They only won the
right to establish liberty and the actua
achievement is yet an unfinished task
Trial by jury in the courts has al.
ways been held out as the great palla'
dunn Of our liberties, and rightly so
for it has done more to establish rea
| liberty than has any other agency
Theoretically, the whole system is per.
fection itself, and the only imperfec'
| tions that are attributable to it arise
out Of the frailties Of human nature.
Given honest, intelligent, courageous
firm, unprejudiced juries, and all tina
our forefathers fought for, and all tina
virtuous, honest, God-fearing men anC
women desire in this life, the right
justice tempered with mercy, is saf'
forever.
But there are men and men, some
honest, intelligent and unbiased, som'
ignorant, vicious and unfair-men wh'
would give up their lives before the!
would steep their souls in perfidy t.
injure an enemy or serve friend, anC
men who would bestow their verdict
in the direction of their likes or dis
likes, regardless of law, right or rea
son, as lightly as they would commi
any other wrong that seemed to appea
to passing whims.
It is a commonly conceded fact tha
the courts of South Carolina are no
as strong as they should be. Ther'
are many notable cases of gross mis-
carriages of justice. There are cases

to show signs of their annual develop
ment, will increase his force. DR.. Nigh
bert, formerly in personal charge OF
the work in this state, now has super
vision over all work In South Carolina
and Georgia and has his headquarters
for the present in Atlanta. DR.. Gull
