minger requires the defendants to show
cause on Monday why the receiver
should not be appointed and In the
meantime all persons are restrained
from further dissipating the assets or
proceeding any further with the suits

which had not become legally his, for

What q Manufacturer ThinIks.-One
Of the best informed cotton manufac-
turers In the south expressed the opin-
ion In our Office last week that cot
ton prices are bound to advance rather
than decline. THE cotton mills last
year." said he, used 100000 bales,
leaving only visible supply Of 1,4c0,-
900 bales. The consumption this year
is almost certain to be about 1880, 900
bales, and 1t would accordingly require
a crop Of 12,100,000 bales even to keep
the mills going after exhausting the
last bale Of the 100000 surplus. The
prices of cotton goods are at present
by no means In keeping with the high
prices Of cotton, but the world is
bound to have the goods, and prices
Of the manufactured product must
soon adjust themselves to the new
conditions. That the crop Is alarm
ingly short no one doubts. I know.
not only from government statistics,
but from frst-hand reports of men who
have travelled in Texas and In other
leading cotton states. Even with a H.
100000 bale crop we shall have barely
cotton enough, and all signs point to
a practical cotton famine before the
next crop Ia gathered.-Progressiye

THE New York municipal campaign
has commenced with William ]. Cay
nor and William Randolph Hearst as
the leading candidates for mayor.
Gaynor is the nominee for Tammany
and Hearst has the nomination Of the
anti -Tammany element. The under
standing is that the Hearst people
we're to use the name "Civic Alliance" /"
but it is possible that the Tammany-
ties have already appropriated that IT,
tie and there will be some legal squab-
bling over it. The campaign promises
to be quite lively one.

OF course, it must be presumed that
Senator Smith was merely entering
into the North Carolina spirit when
he said that he did not believe that
there was a battle at Moore's Creek
because there was a battle there and
1t was really an important one. Ex-
cept by those, however, who had SET
speeches, history was trampled on So
numerically, that there was not much
room for surprise at anything.

PeIIasra Due to Impure Water
Army surgeons, says washington
dispatch, have just made important
discoveries as to the origin Of the dread
disease "pellagra." These discoveries
have been made at Peoria, at the n.
linois State General hospital for the
insane, where close study Of the dis-
ease has been conducted by Surgeons
Joseph +. Siler and Henry ]. Nichols.
It has been found that spoiled corn or
corn which has fermented does not
cause the trouble. It appears that pa
tients afflicted with pellagra have
first undergone an affliction Of the In
testinal tract, resembling dysentery,
which is often brought about by an
impure supply Of water. 1t appears
that the army surgeons found great
ignorance at the Peoria hospital as to
the. nature of pellagra- It is alleged
that several hospital attendants were
discharged because Of the belief they
had scalded pellagra patients. The
peeling cuticle on the hands and arms,
the authorities thought, was caused by
scalding water instead Of by g DIS
ease. 5 4s 1ts

New York, Oct. 11-An early decline
was followed by an increasingly active
and decidedly firmer cotton market
today owing to reports that the gulf
storm had reached the coast OF Florida
and was threatening the Atlantic belt
with disturbances Of considerable Sc
verify. The close was little on from
the best under realizing, but steady In
tone, and to II points net higher.
The opening was steady at decline
Of / to s points and during the first
hour prices sold off to q net loss or Z
to points under liquidation for over
the local holiday tomorrow and bear
pressure which had the announcement
Of higher temperature In the south ara
the failure Of weather reports to snow
any frost of consequence over Sunday:
Gables were Indifferent, and Liverpool
was seller here, but while the storm
situation seemed to be ignored at first
rumors of easier southern spots were
not confirmed, and later numerous pri-
vate wires regarding the course OF
the tropical storm started covering by
early sellers and fresh buying for long
account. The market at New Orleans
and Liverpool will be open as usual
tomorrow, and recent sellers evidently
feared that II the storm actually reach
ed the cotton country these markets
would be decidedly higher before the
local opening on Wednesday morning.
At any rate Decer,oer contracts ad-
vanced from 1921 to 1889, while March
sold up from 1880 to 13.48 with the
general list showing q net advance OF
s to II points during the afternoon.
December closed at 1882 and March
at 1912 bid. Southern spot markets
officially reported early were unchang-
ed. The advance during the afternoon
was promoted by the heavy exports,
more cotton leaving the ports than was
received for the day. There were no
fresh developments with reference to
proposed curtailment among manufac-
turers, and local traders in raw cotton
seem to be little impressed by the
prospects for organized short time.
Receipts at the ports today 69,16S
bales, against 59,297 last week, and
57,176 last year For the week $4,000
bales against 417,SS1 last week and

Banker WaIsh's Conviction: !

BANKER WalsnS SonSiSeioh' '"S
MoraI.-One of the most protracted le-
gal battles Of recent years has at last
been decided by the final conviction OF
John R. Walsh, the millionaire banker
of Chicago; and the aged offender will
now be forced to pay the penalty OF
his misdeeds He has already paid
something on account in the hours OF
remorse which he has spent In brood
ing over his mistakes. But society ex-
acts still more. The inducements to
speculation which his temporary sue
cess has offered to the youth OF the
land must be overcome by the weigh
tier logic Of the law. The disposition
to forsake the beaten paths Of safety
in this mammon- age of the world
is already too great; and while we
reverence gray hairs, we reverence
pure public morals still more.-Atlanta

asked to dispatch troops here without

these have not been verified. The

THREE JURORS ACCEPTED
FOR TRIAL OF CALHOUN
San Francisco's Street Car Magnate
Charged with Bribery Faces
Unusual Delay in Get
ting Jury

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-Three
jurors, any or all Of whom may yet
succumb to peremptory challenge, have
been selected to try the case of Patrick
Calhoun, the street car magnate
charged with bribery of municipal Off
Gals, and to achieve this result a panel
of $50 citizens was thoroughly Sifted in
search of satisfactory material during
a period of four days ending this after
noon, when court was adjourned until
next Tuesday morning.
The process of examination was &C
CELEBRATED today and the attorneys man
aged to dispose of twenty talesmen
within the four hours that the court
devoted to the case. Two or three of
this number were not on the assess
ment roll, and the others, with the eX-
ception of the single juror temporarily
passed, entertained opinions that rem
dered them Objectionable to one side
or the other.
In order to save time, Judge William
P. Lawlor today directed the attorneys
to proceed directly to those portions of
the examination which tend to disclose
bias or prejudice, and to this order was
attributed the fact that the panel was
exhausted before the usual hour of ad-
journment arrived.
An early rebuke by the court, and a
threat Of punishment for contempt,
checked the first tendency toward an
acrimonious dispute manifested by the
attorneys this morning, and during the
rest of the day there was an absence
of verbal encounters.
The sheriff has been directed to sum-
mon $50 men as a second panel, and the
examination of these Veniremen will
begin on next Tuesday.
