ture on the ku-klux-kIan.
The Lecture of Col. Sam Cooke, of
Walthall, at the opera house last
Monday night entitled the "Ku-Klux-
Klan," Or the Invisible Empire"
was one of the most interesting which
it has been the pleasure of this writer
to hear For nearly two hours he
held the rapt attention of his aud
fence, pictnring the dark days of re-
construction and the work of the Ku-
hlux-klan in manner that was a
revelation to the present generation
giving the young people a clearer in
sight Unto the condition of our sec
ton of country at that time than per-
haps anything they had heard before.
Col. Cookies lecture is entertaining
and instructive from start to finish
and every young person, especially,
who has an opportunity to hear him
should take advantage of it. Every
one should be familiar with the his
tory of this world renowned organiza-
ton which did such great work for
the south, when there was no other
relief from the prosecutions and wrong
inflicted upon them by the federal
government. Col. Cooke is one of the
few surviving members of this patr;
otic band. which he says accomplished
everything it attempted to do, and
those who failed to hear him tell of
the origin and workings of this won
derful organization, missed a rare

ALREADY the price readjustments
are beginning to work toward the ex-
pected Improvement in demand and
this and President Taft's inaugural
declarations favorable to that meas
ure Of stability which is essential to
the life and growth Of all business
are important contributions to finah-
cial and trade confidence and make
stronger the hope Of full industrial
recovery. Both in sentiment and
amount Of new business in sight the
iron and steel trade shows some gain.
I'm spite Of the upward tendency
OF raw material buyers Of cotton
goods make a determined effort to Sc
cure lower level Of quotations.
There Is an entire absence of export
demand from China, although 1t is be-
lieved that sellers will now accept
prices that were refused in January.
No new business is reported In WOOL

Quiet conditions continue in New
England shoe markets. The demand
for hides continues slack with a fur
ther seasonable weakness in prices on
both packer and country hides. The
dry hide market is quiet. The leather
trade Is still dull and unsatisfactory"
