Goldsboro Council, No. 80, Jr. O. U.
A. M, opened wide it's doors last night
to many guests, the occasion being the
annual social festivities of the lodge.
TO all of those who secured peep
into this fraternal organization,
hearty welcome was accorded and
good cheer reigned supreme.
The Juniors have made rapid strides
in Goldsboro in recent years, incfeas-
ing in numbers from twenty members
to an enrolment of 26S.
The lodge hall was crowded last
night and wit and humor was inter
twined with seriousness in all Of the
addresses of the speakers of the oc-
Gasion.
Mr. Guernsey Hood. in a brief ad-
dress of welcome in behalf of the
lodge. stated that No. SO was glad to
have with them SO many guests upon
: this occasion, but that the ladies pres
. ent would not have the pleasure of
+. seeing 'BilI-the goat. l held an en-
F., tirely different view of the Junior
/. lodge before 1 became member and
. now that I know of it's workings, l
: invite you to come and join us. Dear
friend, we need you and we feel that
you need u.s.
In response, Capt. J. E. Peterson
Illustrated his opening remarks with
: a tixaely joke and in behalf of the Ia
: dies Sresent thanked the lodge for it's
. cordiaf and hearty welcome.
Representative J. M. Mitchell was
tthen called upon and in an impromp-'
tu speech said that these social gath
erings had a great influence upon
Infringing our country and city cousins
ttogether and that the lodge standing
flor the best citizenship was accom-
,Dlishing in a silent but active man
ssaer a great work.
Rev. J. II. Frizel1e proved to be
unusually witty and humorous in his
remarks. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress he stated "that every man in
fiuenced a certain circle with whom
he came in contact. and that each and
every man should SO live that the in
fllence would be upward and not
downward
To the conclusion of a number of
well-delivered addresses was added
brilliant speech by Hon. George E.
Hood, who in well-contrasted COM
parisons told of the silent work of the
Juniors He compared the drops of
water into a pool, whereby small cir
cles gradually encircled the pool to
the silent work and sacrifice Of each
member, which would gradually reach
the eternal shore" His address in
deed was a most beautiful climax to
a most appropriate array of speeches
for such an occasion.
Following the addresses ice cream
and cake was served. Afterwards the
men enjoyed a smoker.

COTTON CLIMBING.
Short Crop Idea Boosts Prices Over
Three Dollars Bale.


New York, May 14-Predicted on
the idea that the next crop is to be
short one, speculation has suddenly
revived and lifted prices over So
one of the largest factors in the ad-
vance.
The season in that great state is
believed to be very backward and bull
possibility of its raising a crop of the
required size, their belief being that
the year will witness a recurrence of
what has so often taken place in the
past, namely, small crop following
big one At the same time they believe
that the consumption this year is
likely to reach record breaking pro-
portions.
Indeed, in a nutshell, 1t is a case of
supply and demand, or I'm other words,
belief that there will be a deficient
supply to meet an extraordinary de-
mand. The weather in Texas has
been for the most part dry, and east
of the Mississippi the outlook is said
to be far from uniformly favorable, al
though the prospects there seem con-
siderably better than they are in the
Southwest.
The spot markets have been advanc-
ing evenly if not everywhere active.
and it is worthy of remark, too, that
wool has been active. excited and
higher. The steady Improvement in
the iron and steel trade is also noted
without with interest as encouraging
the belief that general trade in this
country is improving. One of the
things, too, which has contributed not
little to the confidence of the bulls
is the belief that the government re-
port that is to appear on June 3, esti-
mating the acreage and describing the
early condition of the crop on data
tinctly bullish character. Liverpool
Manchester and the continent are
short Of the market it seems, not only
in Europe but in this country.
The recent somewhat favorable turn
in the weather for time also encour-
aged the formation of short inter-
est. A week ago there was a belief
among many of the bulls who have
iquidated their holdings that a reac-
tion was due. Finally, however, they
became impatient and took hold even
at rapidly advancing prices.
On the rise there has been a good
deal of selling by spot houses and Chi
cago, Southern and Wall street inter
ests. Some experienced observers in
cline to the opinion that the advance
has been too rapid, and that the mar
ket, which was recently everseld, is
in some danger of becoming over
bought. It is contended, too, that crop
conditions east of the Mississinpi are
on the whole more unpromising, and
that it is a wet May. not dry one,
which In the estimation of not few
is apt to work mischief to the crop
1t is felt that after so rapid an ad-
vance some reaction, even if only
temporary. would be no more than
natural. In the main. however, the
sentiment Is bullish.

Paul Elder & Co.'S new store in Grant

Keeping with the merchandise which

old prints, exquisite pieces of pottery,
jewelry and ornaments and pictures in
OIL and water colors by the best artists.
Ihe Gothic interior, with it's quiet,
gray tones, only here and there relieved
by warm touch of color, such as in
the recessed settle which is upholstered
in royal red, is in itself conducive to
thoughts of the literary and artistic
masters. Subdued light f1ltering through
stained glass windows gives one the
mood for books. The esthetic appeal is
made In innumerable ways, the archi-
tectural and artistic being perhaps the
most potent. However without consid-
erinS the process, one feels that his
taste for books and objects of art has
oeen aecentuated by the sharp contrast
with the atmosphere of commerce, riot
GUS Color and movement which obtains
OUTSIDE the quiet portals.
Gothic arches span the width of the
| place, which 1t seems inappropriate to
call store, and between them are cur
tam walls of old gray stone, against
winch stand the ranks of books. Along
one side are the stained cathedral glass
windows, and leading from the main
moor are stairs leading 10 the upper

WHY BARTN[TT IS
NOW IN The EAST
Former Officer of Defunct Bank
Is Witness in Western
Pacific Lawsuit

The fact that Walter J. Bartnett, the
former financial pilot of the California
safe deposit and trust company, and
under sentence of 10 years in states
prison for his share in promoting the
banks downfall, is now in the east
does not mean. according to statements
made yesterday, that he will form a
holding company there to conserve the
wrecked institutions funds. He will
do anything in his power at any time,
it was stated, to aid the depositors,
but he is in New York merely be-
cause he was called back there to act
as witness in a lawsuit brought
against the Western Pacific railroad, of
which Bartnett was vice president and
general counsel.
While in New York Bartnett will take
care of some minor affairs of the
banks business, at the request of Re-
ceiver Edward J. lie Breton.
The bill of exceptions prepared by
Gray & Cooper, Bartnett,s attorneys,
which they will submit in an appeal
from his sentence, is ready for fling
now and will be presented to the higher
courts within few days.
Bartnett was allowed to go without
the jurisdiction of the state at the re-
quest of both his attorneys and
the depositors' association of the bank.
and through the kindness of Judge
Conley and District Attorney Langdon.

COURT SANCTIONS
AWARD TO POTTER
Decision Given on One Phase of
the Miller & Lux
Litigation

In the litigation over the $40, 600, 900
Miller & Lux estate Judge Seawen
rendered a decision yesterday approx
ing of the advance of $150,OOO made to
Jesse Sheldon Lux Potter by the trus-
tees under the Miranda W. Lux trust
and advising Potter and his mother,
Mrs. Melissa Potter, not to accept stock
In the Nevada corporation in exchange
for stock in the California corporation
until it has been finally determined
whether or not the California corpora
tion was dissolved.
This decision is looked upon as a
distinct victory for Jesse Sheldon Lux
Potter and his mother in their fight
against Henry Miller, the old man who
is the controlling genius of the giant
corporation. Miller was one of the
founders of the original copartnership.
Mrs. Melissa Potter and Jesse Sheldon
Lux Potter are the daughter and
grandson respectively of Lux, Miller's
partner.
When the trustees under the will
of Miranda W. Lux were permitted to
distribute the trust, they advanced to
Jesse Sheldon Lux Potter $3.50, 900 from
the principal of this estate. Henry
Miller and his associates asked the
court not to sanction the advance The
matter was argued for four days last
December by half a dozen attorneys
representing different interests

has promised its hearty cooperation
in the Raisin day movement Wilbur
Walker secretary of the Transbay as
sociation. said that small pamphlets
would be very acceptable and these
have already been sent forward. The
Oakland Merchants exchange is plan
ming TO arrange d ~raisin banquet in

lures OF California raisins as food may
be exploited, and its excellence demon

That the work OF the Raisin day
boomers in san Francisco and Los An
geles is exceedingly effective is made
evident by the large number of letters
coming in from the businessmen of
these TWO cities asking for raisins and
literature concerning Raisin day TO sup
ply the demand which-1hey say has
been created.
A letter TO George Won l. Meyer.
secretary of the navy, was sent out
by the local Raisin day committee to-
day. asking him to observe Raisin day
by making raisins part of the rations
for the sailors on April 80. The com
mittee also requested him to consider
OF diet with a view TO eventually max
ing II a regular ration for the sailors.
lie was also urged TO consider the de-
STABILITY OF the product for candy.
In a letter addressed TO the various
hotel managers of Los Angeles. Walter
Raymond. proprietor Of the Raymond
hotel at Pasadena, and Frank Virgins.
secretary Of the Southern chamber of
commerce, urged these men TO observe
Raisin day by serving raisin dishes.
They also asked that, where it did not
interfere with the menu card, the hotel
men place the words California Raisin
Day, April 30" on their menus
Many merchants on the coast are
sending communications to the local
Raisin day committee for raisins to
send TO friends in the east Many
private parties are doing likewise. and
as a consequence a great demand is
being started It is conservatively
estimated that about 10000 tons of
raisins viii be consumed on that date.
