New York, June 3.-While the hoi-
iday in Liverpool and New Orleans
tended to restrict business in the local
cotton market today, there was a mod
erate1y active trade and prices ruled
generally steady to firm, with the
close very steady at a net advance Of
6@19 points. October contracts sold
at 1897, or even with the high level
reached on May IS. and new crop
months were relatively firm during
the entire day on reports that govern
ment experts were finding the boil
Weeyil numerous in Clarke county,
Alabama. and rumors of hot winds IN
Arkansas.
The market opened steady at an
advance Of ga points on overnight
buying orders, which We're supposed,
for the most part, to reflect covering
by shorts who were disappointed that
the high condition report of the gov
eminent had not exerted a more de-
pressing influence on the mark ct yes
terday. Right after the opening there
vas a little irregularity n the old
crop showed mOmentary
with August easing off from 1920 to
1914 under scattering liquidation, but
the new crop barely responded to the
old crop setback, n the entire list
firmed up on buying On both accounts
inspired by the continued dry weather
in the South and the boil Weevil ru-
mors. Last prices were within a
point or two Of the top on nearly all
the active months. The weather map
showed temperatures of 100 to 1O7
degrees at 38 points in the cotton belt
and there was nothing In the fore
cast to indicate any relief from the
drOuthy conditions complained Of be-
yond the possibility OF occasional
showers in the extreme southern por-
ton of Georgia and in western North
Carolina Old crop bulls were buy
ers Of new crop positions on the ad-
vance. and the fall months had con-
tinued support from leading spot in
tereStS.
The Weekend figures showed rather
smaller %spinners' takings than for the
same week last year, but owing to the
small into-sight the decrease in the
supply of American cotton was 49,
353 bales. against 122,O95 last year,
making the present visible 1927, $50,
against 1.85O,560 last year.
Receipts today, 3,434 bales, against
4,450 last week and 4.573 last year;

27,724 last week and 41,701 last year

instances denoted investment buying
rather than mere speculative opera

ter the movement had earned up
prices a point or more in many cases,
the pressure Of profit-taktng sales

heaviness, the latter stock

Too Many Escapes.

Atlanta, June 16.-Statistics just
completed show that 219 convicts,
not including prisoners held for mis-
demeanors, escaped in the State dur
ing the twelve months ending on Ma"
81 and that 120 of these are still at
liberty.
Amazed at these figures Chairman
Davidson, of the State prison cominis-
sion, has written sharp letter to the
wardens in all the camps in this
State warning them that in future
they will be held personally respon-
sible for t. safe keeping of the con-
victs.
In the letter the chairman attribut-
ed the escapes in most cases to negli-
gence and carelessness on the part of
the guards and warns the wardens
against indiscriminately granting
"trusty" privileges.

Mrs. Mack Kills Herself.

Baltimore, Nd, June 19.-Mrs.
Mary Parker Mack, wife of DR.. Wash
ington l.. Mack, a prominent physi-
clan of Orangeburg, S. c., committed
suicide this afternoon by drinking a
quantity of carbolic acid from an Old
bottle which she found in her hus-
bands laboratory, and which bore the
label of an Orangeburg pharmacy.
The tragedy occurred in the home at
4O14 Edmondson avenue, which the
husband had purchased and presented
to his wife only three weeks ago.
DR.. Mack left Baltimore for South
Carolina the day prior to the tragedy
and was apprised of the news through
a telegram sent him shortly after the
discovery of the act.
The coroner gave a verdict of sui
eide.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
The ladies' missionary meeting on
Wednesday of last week was very
we'll attended, a nice program was
carried out, and neat sum was rails
ed for State missions; about three
times as much as was raised on the
second Sunday for this same object
in the general collection, in which.
the brethren are supposed to lead.
The Sunbeam Band also had a
good meeting, and raised more for the
aged ministers fund than the general
church collection referred to above
on the second Sunday.
These comparisons should shove
us out of the nickel and dime hab-
it in dealing with the spread of our
Lords kingdom who gave himself
and became poor for our sakes, that
we through his sacrifice might be-
come rich in eternal life.
It reminds me of the man who fed
to the joists in the top Of his hut on
the frontier when a burly bear at
tackled his house, leaving the battle
to his wife. After she had downed
the bear with the axe, he came down
from his perch and said, "Wife,
amt we brave?"
Pastor Frier's theme at the morn
ing service was, Self-control the
greatest conquest. At night, Gods
Lamb, the sinners saviour.
A good program was carried out
on Christian work at the B. Y. P. u.
Sunday afternoon.

RESIGNATION of Commissions Secre-
tary Announced.

bia, S. c., June 19.-Gov.
Blease announced this evening the
resignation of B. Frank Kelley, of
Bishopville, the secretary of the new
dispensary commission. Mr.. Kel-
ley's successor will be announced just
as soon as Gov. Blease receives the
acceptance from the person named by
him to take Mr.. Kelley's place on the
commission.
Mr.. Kelley wrote Gov. Blease that
owing to private business affairs at
home he was unable to continue a
member of the commission. 1T is
impossible for me to attend the ses-
sions of the commission any time in
the near future, and unless l can
give the commission my best services
and attention." writes Mr.. Kelley, Il
feel that I am of no service whatever
to the commission or the State.
when I accepted position on the
COlulhlSSlOu, AtCu yOo oo h1Aoly ICA
dered me, I had no idea of the
amount of work to be performed,
and during the short space of time
that l have been member of the
commission l have done my best to
render honorable and faithful SER
vices to my State, and I have no doubt
that you will secure some gentleman
to take my place on the commission
who can give it more private atten-
ton than l am able to do
Gov. Blease wrote Mr.. Kelley: 81
regret very much to give you up, but,
of course, under the circumstances,
would not insist upon your remain
ing"
The place on the commission held
by Mr.. Kelley seems to have been the
Jonah" This place was offered to
Mr.. John Mimnaugh, of this city, who
declined, now Mr.. Kelley has resign
ed. So far as can be learned the
commission has not changed it's date
of meeting in Newberry, on June Fl.

Unveling of the Confederate Monu-
ment.
At recent meeting of the Francis
Marion Bamberg Chapter U. D. c. it
was decided that the unveiling of the
monument should take place in the
early fall-possibly the month of
October. 1t could be held before
then, but the Chapter desires to hold
these unveiling exercises when the
weather is pleasant enough to entice
everybody in the county out on this
occasion. Contributions for the mon
ument fund continue to come in
some every week-so if you haven't
been solicited for contribution,
don't wait to be seen, but send your
name with the amount in cash or
payable in the fall, to any member
of the Chapter whom you may know,
or send to Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg,
Chapter president, or Editor Knight.
The June meeting of the Chapter
was held last week, Mrs. Henry Bam-
berg being hostess. The interesting
papers on Jefferson Davis were read
by Mrs. G. F. Hair, Mrs. B. w. Sim
