ADJUSTMENTS.
aRre,uster,s Millions"

If you have the blues and need bit of jollying up, go down tonight and see Morty Brewster spend s10oo,Ooo. There's a laugh In every coin he turns loose and not a chance for sigh or tear
 The dramatization closely follows George Barr McCutcheon's story. Mont gomery Brewster must spend every penny of s1, ,OOo. 900 to inherit 8 fortune of s7,0OO,- 900. He can't take anybody into confi- dence, can't give the money away and can't be unduly extravagant. His friends think he is crazy, of course. He buys stocks and they go up, he bets on horse race, 5000 on 40 to 1 shot, and the horse wins s40o00, and Monty is all but heart broken. He backs an opera company and nearly looses his sweetheart, and the venture makes money. too Monty char ters a yacht and carries his friends around the world and manages to spend his 1000 900 on time, but he had hard time of 1t, and you get many laugh before it is all gone. NO letters ever left Monty's office, everything went by telegraph and cable. But the morhing of the last day Monty has to borrow go cents to pay for a message. When the hour comes there's nothing left but bundle of receipts and Monty is smiling.
 Royal Tracy, in the leading role, Is un- usually well equipped for the part, and the entire company Is strong.

COTTON HALTS AT
 FOURTEEN CENTS
Price Movement Receives Set
 back During the Week
BULL SENTIMENT LEADS
Small Crop Ideas Are Established But the Trade Refuses To Advance Prices on the Present
 General Outlook.

i New York. October 22.-After carrying cotton to new high record for the sea son the bulls have met with a check
 Unable to leap the 14-eent barrier here, although this was done in New Orleans. a good many people have sold out. The result has been some setback at times in prices Bears have been aided by the Ellison figures on consumption. He puts it at 235,000 bales less than last year when his preliminary figures, it seems. were 100000 bales too low. But there can be no disgusting one thing, and that Is that the spot demand in Liverpool, after a protracted period of unusual activity, has now dropped to merely normal pro- portions English and continental spinners seem disposed to make haste more slow ly. They seem to be much better SUD- piled with cotton after the recent heavy exports. Also the advance in the Bank of England's rate of discount of per cent, the highest since January, 1908, has had a noticeable effect in Liverpool and elsewhere
 New England people are still talking of short time. The weather has, in the main. improved somewhat Europe has been a big seller here and rumors that certain large Chicago or New Orleans in- terests were selling at one time had more or less effect. On approaching 14 cents the market has acted very much as 1t did when 1t was 1, and even cents lower, partly because then, as now, the price was considered high. But on the other hand. if bulls have not been able to leap the 14-cent hurdle, they have prevented any serious decline. Of late Wall street, New Orleans, Memphis and western interests have at times bought freely. An unexpectedly large Short in terest was discovered the other day in the December option. The National Gin ners' association report putting the gin ming up to October IS at only 5,3S4, 900 bales or about 6O00OO bales less than many had expected, had more or less of bracing effect, especially as it added that 1916 per cent of the crop had been picked as against 54 per cent year ago. Besides, there has been some frost and heavy rains have occurred in the southwest.
 Dry goods reports are more favorable. Fall River Is strong and New York shows more snap. The recent rise in the raw material has not prevented an increased demand for the manufactured goods.
 Here and there in the cotton belt some signs have been reported of decreased movement of the crop. Rightly or wrong ly, the tendency latterly has been to re- duce rather than increase the estimates on the crop They range, however. all the way from 100000 to 1,S00000, while in some instances higher figures have been named Bulls comfort themselves with the argument that even taking Eli sons figures on the consumption as they stand they are only 235,000 bales less than last year, while the crop in their judg- ment is fully 100000 to 3,000. GOO bales less than then. The rank and file of the speculative world, however Is iRcliped to proceed more cautiously for the time being.

FIRST EXCITING SCENE
 AMONG THE DAUGHTERS
BY MRS. CAMPBELL CORY.

Houston, october 22.-(Special Cor respondence 1.-The second days conven- ton was notable for the reading of the presidents report, the reports of officers and the report of the historian.
 That portion of Mrs. Stones report re- ferr.ne to her success in securing favor able action relative to the restoration of the name of Davis to Cabin John Bridge was loudly applauded in many parts of the hall.
 Some trepidation had been felt by many, as 1t was currently reported there would be quite a discussion as to who had Mir. Davis name restored, the Me- morial association or the. United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy. Mrs. Stones report at this point said: ITO secure this act of justice to MT. Davis memory had long been discussed and some action had been taken by individuals without result. At the annual meeting of the Confederate Southern Memorial association in Rich mond, Va, June. 1907, it was decided 10 take up this matter more actively and to this end the aid of all Confederate or ganizations was requested. The service of MT. w. P. Phillips and Representative Adolph Meyer was securei, and MT. Taft, then Secretary of War, had this matter investigated. In August, 1a07, General Mackenzie, chief of engineers made an unfavorable report to MT. Taft, s2ying that such a proposition was of doubtful utility" And at the next annual meeting of the Memorial association at Birming- ham. Ala, report was made that .'pati- ent waiting must be had until more propritious time" Then she told of A visit to Washington soon thereafter and the speed accomplishment of the res toration."
 Mrs. Stones report was accepted and her recommendations referred to the

proper committee. All went smoothly un- til the reading of Mrs. J. Enders Robin sons report as historian general. Mrs Robinsons report was of necessity long one, and she had her report printed and distributed as was that of the president She explained to the convention not only that 1t was too long for reading but gave other reasons, and also an explanation of her sending out her circular to the chap ters condemning the famous Boyson prize essay, Robert k. Lee, a Present Esti- mate" Intense excitement prevailed dur ing her remarks for 1t was we'll known throughout the convention that Mrs. Stone, president-general, openly censured Mrs. Robinson for taking any action without first consulting her. Before Mrs Robinson had completed her remarks she was called down by the president-gen who claimed she would allow nothing of personal nature in the convention.
 A motion to accept Mrs. Robinson's re- port was made, but the president-general ruled that only remarks had been heard and the report could not be accepted until it had been read by Mrs. Robinson be- fore the convention. Mrs. Robinson calm ly read the whole report and the most intense incident yet before the sixteenth annual convention was closed. Another ripple of excitement was caused by the report of the committee on rules. which recOilihehueu secret pdllot MrS. Henuer- son of Mississippi made a strong plea against it and the roll call of states is still in vogue.
 It was claimed by some that this ac- tion meant first blood for North Caro- linas candidate for president.

Mrs. Duke was universally loved and honored at all conventions of the United Daughters of the Confederacy Her beautiful presence had been sadly missed but none dreamed of her illness

Second Explosiorrat the Lick
Branch Mine Within
Half a Month.
ONE HUNDRED XII LED
And Possibly Many More as
Three Hundred Men
Were in Mine.

y !. r.. / -
fBLUEFIDLlD, Jan. Jas the re-
suit of another explosion at the Lick
Branch mine at Witchback. twenty
miles from here. between so and 100
miners were killed this morning.
The number may be largely in
creased as from ESQ to % 90 miners
We're at work at the time in the mine
and 1t was not ascertained at noon
how many survived.
On December 2S fifty miners were
killed in an explosion in the same
mine.
Up to this time the mine was res
garded as a model mine and Is owned
by the Pocahontas Consolidated Col
lieries Company.
Most of the miners at work today
were Americans.
Up to I o'clock this afternoon the
rescue party was not able to enter
the mine on account of the intense
heat. ~
1t is thought that following the ex-
plosion the mine caught afire, all,
though but little smoke is finding
its way to the exterior.
The officials refuse to give an esti-
mate of the number that may have
met death, but at the mouth of the
mine 1t is now believed over 100
persisted.
The miners place the blame for the
explosion on some foreign miners
who. It is believed entered the mine
with an open lamp.
