New York. Dec. S1.-Yesterday's
market though totaling less than 9OO.-
600 shares maintained a strong under
tone. Further advances were made in
many issues Part of the purchasing
power was due to short covering, but
there also was unmistakable evidence
of good buying by interests inclined TO
anticipate a better range of prices dur
ing January. The Reading statement
was favorably received. The earnings
of this road as we'll as the earnings of
Atch. and Tn. Pac. are beginning 20
show a more appropriate relation be-
tween the revenue and gross receipts.
\ favorable bank statement is looked
for today The weeks operations arc
expected To show gain TO the banks
of nearly $4,00O,OOO. Heavy exports of
cotton continue to weaken Sterling eX-
change. Call money reached per
cent for a short time but fair aver
age on renewals To Tuesday was 6
per cent. Sentiment on the whole is
more cheerful as we approach the end
Of the year and we would rather follow
the long side of the market for the
present at least.
TO all we extend our heartiest
wishes for a Joyful and Prosperous
New Year-H. & w.

The cotton market for the pa st week
has been a declining one and on some
days the set back has been severe but
on the whole the decline has only been
about one half cent on contracts. while
spots in Macon has declined from IA ga
last Saturday to IA Is today for good
middling,
The weakness of the market was di-
rectly attributable to the large moves
ment, the trade anticipating the.weekly
insight to be more than any year for
the same week and their fears were
realized. The rovement to market has
been very heavy for several weeks, and
t is now just showing up at the ports
and counted towns, and, too. the frost
failed to materialize in a damaging way
which was disappointing to holders of
large lots of cotton, causing them to of
fer more freely.
January New York Cotton at the close
Friday evening was quoted bv the
Macon Cotton Exchange at IA 33 and
December at Ia. 80.

Cotton Seed for Planting.

The probability of the boil weevil
reaching Noxubee renders it important
that u planters plant early maturing
cotton. | have a quantity of an early
variety of Cooks Improved cotton seed
for sale. | purchased the seed origi-
nally from the A & M college. From
it | raised the first bale for 1910 in
Noxubee. The seed was planted, too,
after the frost of April oath. This
variety has been tried and approved in
this county and throughout the state.
1t is the very best. The fact that I
have sold my Boykin place and must
the market.
The price is go cents a bushel at my
gin or the BoYkin Place. SEND CASH
WITH WAGON.
This is a fine opportunity to obtain
the best seed at a price in little excess
of ordinary seed. G. G Clay.

The Constitutional Amendments.

To the Voters of the State Of Miss:
respectfully call your atten-
ton to the necessity for the adOp-
ton Of the three proposed amend
ments to our state constitution.
AS YOU know, the first one pro-
vides for making each session of
the legislature a regular session,
as existed under our organic law,
prior to the adoption Of our pres
ent constitution. The second pro-
posed amendment is to author
lie the first session of the Legis-
lature, after the adoption Of any
amendment by the people, to IN
corporate the same into the con-
stitution, These are both vaIua-
BILE provisions and should be rat
flied and approved by the people
at the November election. The
third proposed amendment is to
change the Constitution from the
appointive system to an election
by the people as other officers are
elected.
Prior to the adoption of the
Constitution Of 1869, the elective
system of Judges prevailed in
our State, from its admission into
Union. Today nearly all of the
states of the American Union
elect their Judges and they have
as able a judiciary as those states
that appoint them. During the
entire history Of Mississippi the
elective system furnished as able
a Judiciary as that furnished by
the appointing power.
Now that we have an intelli-
gent electorate the best interest
of the State would be subserved
by allowing the people to elect
their Judges.
Again, it is very much desired
to transfer the creation Of the
Judges from the Governor and
the Senate to the people in order
to remove them from objectiona-
BILE political Influences. that pre-
vail under the appointive system.
Nominate and elect them at the
same time our Congressman are
elected, and then they will be
taken out Of the political excite
ment and influences incident to
the election of our state, district
and county officers. During my
manhood days | have advocated
uniformly an elective judiciary as
a better and sounder policy to
promote the interest of the State.
The people can be trusted to
elect able judges.
| have mo prejudice personally
against the present appointive
system, since | have been ap-
pointed chancery judge three
times, been appointed each time
by a different governor and con-
frmed by a different senate. |
especially urge all persons voting
at our November election to vote
for these three amendments,
Should they fail to vote on the
said amendments their votes will
be counted against them, because
in order to ratify and approve
them, under a decision of our Su-
preme Court, they must have re-
ceived on entire Affirmative ma
jOrity of the votes cast.
Respectfully,
JAMES F. MCCOOL.

White Man in Trouble.

Sheriff A. d. Binion has re-
ceived a lengthy document or doc
uments from Lee Pendley, a
young white man who is in the
Alabama penitentiary' for killing
a negro in Mobile in 1906. Let
ters from preachers, business and
professional men testify to Pend
ley's good character and to the
fact that the negro was an impu-
dent quarrelsome and dangerous
character. Petitions from a num-
Der of cities and towns ask Gov.
Conner to pardon Pendley.
Pendley asserts that the negro
he killed was a prominent negro
Odd Fellow and that all the ne
gro lodges of all orders in Mobile
put up money to convict him and
r now working against his OBJ
tanning a pardon. He asks all
white men TO help him, as he has
spent all his money in his defense
and in trying for a pardon.
The papers can be seen at Mr..
Binion's office and he will receive
contributions for Pendley.
