New York, July Cotton review:
That cotton should have continued to

developments of 4 week have been
almost uniformly bullish, and to cap
the climax the bureau report today
proved to be sensational. It's figures
were followed by a violent rise of
about IS a bale. The condition of
74.6 as stated by the government is
6 per cent below the condition at this
time last year n go per cent under
the average at this time for the past
ten years. The advocates of still
higher prices contend that this report
makes it as clear as anything posi-
bly, can thai ali ideas of a crop in eX-
cess Of $4,000, 600 bales must be aban-
dOned. and they take the ground that
unless ideal conditions prevail dur

likely to be under rather than over
those figure. However that ma be,

To thc> EditOr:-A recent crr1-
munlcation from Capt. Ashe, in reg. "a
to the Liberty POINT Celebration in
Fayetteville on June goth. explains
something that [ have long wished
cleared up, viz: why did the scotch
who were all royaliSts, and who dom
mated Cross Creek and all the sur
rounding country ever allow hat dec
laratiOns to take place. Judge Clark
in an admirable address on a late
occasion, suggests that the law abid-
ing characterize of the Highlander
was the reason why they did not in
terfere; as Capt. Ashe says it was an
Association declaration, fixed up in
Wilmington and sent around for all
wings to sign; then it is plain that
Rowan and the other 3S signed it
secretly and without a formal meet
ing. From this it would ppear that
the SO names attached to that docn-
ment, were all the wings that could
be- found in Cross Creek and vicinity.

Ways Of Raising Money for Charity.

The late emperor of Brazil followed
