The right hand parliamentarian Of the
speaker is Judge Charles r. Crisp OF
Georgia clerk at the speakers table"
Judge Crisp has occupied that place in the
past and both by training and inheritance
Is we'll equipped for It. His father, Charles
F. Crisp was member OF the house for
thirteen years and was speaker Of the fifty
second and fifty-third congresses. Young
Crisp became clerk at the speakers table
while his father welded the gavel and
served as long as the elder Crisp pre-
sided over the house.
Speaker Crisp succeeded Reed, who
earned the reputation OF being the car
OF the house, and on memorable occa-
sion descended from the chair. took the
floor OF the house and delivered scath-
ing denunciation OF the methods OF Reed
when he held the office.
Judge Crisp, when his father died in 1895
was elected as his successor from the Third
Georgia district. He served but one term
in congress after which he resumed the
practice of law. He is 40 years old, has
genial temperament and a large number
of friends and is regarded as the best
equipped democrat for the place that
Champ Clark could have found.

INCREASED ACTIVITY IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK. June 12-There was increased
activity and considerable excitement In the
cotton market today with business more general
than for some weeks past, and with prices Tor
new crop deliveries making net higher records
owing to apprehensions of drouth damage In
the southwest While there was selling
on Saturday on prospects of rain over Sunday,
the failure of today's reports TO show any relief
from drouthy conditions caused active covering
and inspired a good deal of fresh buying, much
of which was attributed to spinners as a hedge
against future requirements.
October cotton sold at 10. 10 and December

with prices ranging around 15Ac for July deiiy-
cries which sold above 16c< last May.
