COTTON MARKET IS
NOW DfMORALIztD
Panic Stricken Longs Throw
Holdings Over at Any
Price
Days OF Sully Boom Recalled
Heavy Losses Are Re-
corded

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Thre was
further big break in the cotton mar
ket today, making the third sensa-
tiona1 slump in prices since the move
ment started early last week. Panic
stricken longs in all parts of the world
seemed to be liquida ting their cotton
regardless of prices and the action of
the market showed intense excitement
and decentralization paraIleled only in
the series of sensational movements
following the collapse of the Sully
boom.
The cotton market has been steadily
advancing for more than a year. and
toward the end of last month prices
had reached a level which, since the
civil war, had only been equaled when
Sully was at the height of his fame,
March contracts selling at 1e.17c and
May at 1e.46c
BIG Loss RECORDED
At the lowest ebb of today's decline
March contracts sold at 1850 and May
at 14.7Sc, a loss from the high record
of from $7.S5 to $40 per bale.
The declines from the closing prices
of last night amounted to more than
$3.50 per bale
There does not appear to have been
any change in general trade conditions
10 warrant the almost unprecedented
slump in prices, and in contrast to the
Sully year no financial difficulties have
been precipitated. 1t is apparent, how
ever. that the bull cliques have been
liquidating.
LONGS AFTER PROFITS
Possibly the selling movement was
originally due to an effort to obtain
prohts on long lines, owing to the ap-
proach of the new planting season and
the expectations of greatly increasing
area, while the absence of any specula
tive interest left the market with very
niue support. 1t was reported today
that spinners were buying more freely
IN the SOUTH and late advices from the
ieadlng southern spot markets showed
no material weakness.

oome Reasons Why 4. Is. > KIP
per Should be Supported for
Clerk of Court.

There are four aspirants for
this office. all gentlemen OF the
highest order, and If We were
disposed to say mean things
about them, we would have to
lie to do so. But let's consider
each of them separately as brief
ly as possible. First, Mr.. Hum
phrey has had the office for q
long time and should be willing
to concede that the people OF
Robson county have been very
good indeed to him; second, Mr..
K. NJ. Barnes is we'll taken care
of in his present position, he be-
ing identified, think, with his
father in one Of the largest mer-
camille establishments in the
county, besides having large
| farming interest; third, Mr.. Dan
! Bullock has a large farm and is
, one of the 'well-to-do', and his
interest is we'll absorbed in and
around the thriving little town
of Rowland; fourth, CharleySkip-
per is not, l think, any better
citizen than any Of the other
gentlemen. but let's consider his
source of revenue, a limited law
practice; let's further consider
his ability. which is not doubted
by any man in the county who
| knows him. Corporations. like
counties, change their officers,
and in casting about for a new
man, the very first thing to be
Considered is ability.
| We would like to see a good
| Baptist in the clerks office, as it
has been a Methodist office as
! far back as we can remember
, however, we are blank on E11r.
IS. A. Ebmund's term. MIR. Skip
per is a Christian gentleman and
has always been prominently
identified with the Baptist de-
nomination and has been a pow
er for good in the First Baptist
church of Lumberton.
1t is to be hoped that no one
will have the gall (nerve would
MT do it, to Say that Charley
Skipper is trying to ride into the
! clerks office on the poor old sore.

Hon. w. L. Lees RECORD on Oil
INSPECTION Bill.

Mr.. Editor:-Replying further
to the criticisms of Judge Ora
'haoq ay friends Of Mr.. Lee, who
see M TO base their candidates
CLAIM entirely upon geographical
Ines, Think | have satisfied all
'reaso,7al lie men that the West
.would be well represented on
the Corporation Commission in
the person of Mr.. H. C.Brown of
@Surry county.
Now as to capacity as a public
servant, and especially as a Leg
fslator. we would be glad for Mr..
Lees friends to explain his posi-
ton on several public questions.
First, see from the files of the
News and Observer, March 9th
and Gth, 1909, that the bill to es-
tablish inspection of oil in this
State, and prevent imposition OF
adulterated oils. upon our people
was introduced by Hon. R. l.:
Doughton, of Allegheny, and
strenuously opposed by Mr.. VT.
Lee, Of Haywood. both before
the committee and on the floor
aof the house. He said, among 9TH
ger things, it would be of no prac-
ttical benefit, but would breed a
horde of office holders, appointed
by one man, who would unduly
prv into the business of the mer-
chants, would cripple or drive
.cut aGi the independent compa-
mics and raise the price of oil to
the consumer.
The attorneys for the indepen-
dent companies, Representative
Lee, and Mr.. j. H. Pou, attorney
for the Standard Oil Company,
all opposed the bill, but Judge
Graham and ffty-nine other
Democrats voted for the bill,
while Mr.. Lee and fourteen 9TH
aer Democrats and sixteen Repub-
licans voted against it.
What has been the re-
suit? Only ten inspectors have
been appointed, one from each
Congressional district, by the
member of the Board of Agricul-
ture from that district, the quail
ity of oil has vastly improved;
the price has decreased II cents
ger gallon; the number of indie
,.endent oil companies in the
State has increased from
4 to Is; and the State has
received, in eleven months,
since the law went into
operation 1925. 900 over and above
all expenses of executing the law,
as will be shown by the books IN
the Office of Hon. 2. r. Lacy,
State Treasurer.
Judge Graham voted Aye. Mr..
Lee voted No.
This will give the people some
idea of the point of view from
which the two candidates view
the responsibility of the corpora
tons to the people and right of
the State to exercise supervision
over them. More anon.
