If the game warden finds one of us

THE BOY WHO BoOZEs.
Jefferson Bee.1

Jefferson has several boys-of high
ly respected families-who are shame
and disgrace to their parents. The boy,
just blooming into young manhood, who
carries the idea that he can not be
man until he has stuck his tender and
beardIess lip over the neck Of bottle
Of booze, has another think coming. He
will find out, in years to come, that IT
takes man to let 1t alone. Some Of
the fool boys may think this "old fogy
talk" but il they persist in making
men of themselves By the whisky
route. there'u come day when they
will be Johnny wise to its truth. To
have little booze 'trst because its
Christmas" may be smart but 1t is a
smartness born OF a hair Drained idiot.

CLOSE QUIET AT
 DECLINE IN COTTON
Prices Rule Lower Owing to the Generally Favorable
 Weather Reports

New York, June 5.-The failure of yes- terday's official crop report to stimulate fresh interest in the cotton market was reflected in very quiet trading today and prices ruled lower owing to generally favorable weather reports. The close was quiet at net decline of to points.
 The market opened steady at decline of points in sympathy with relatively easy cables and sold about to points net lower during the middle of the morn ing under scattering liquidation or local pressure. Offerings were very well ab- sorhed on this decline through a moder- ate demand from trade sources, or cover ing of shorts and following reports of hot winds in Oklahoma, prices rallied to with in a point or two of yesterdays closing figures. The official weather forecasts. however, were considered generally favor able, the days detailed weather reports except for showing continued dry weather in the northwestern part of the belt, were also taken by local traders as suggesting favorable crop progress and the market turned easier again during the afternoon The lowest prices of the day were reached in the late trading when the active months sold about to points under the close of yesterday with July relatively easy. owing to scattering liquidation.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, June 5.-Cotton futures opened quiet at decline of to 1 points on poor cables. The weather map showed scattering showers over the belt and was called unfavorable by the long side. It did not stimualte buying to any extent, but did check the selling movement. Crop accounts continued favorable, al- though fear was expressed that continued showers would result in grassy fields With the rains late planted cot ton was reported coming up to a good stand At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 5 points under yesterday.
 The weather forecast promised more rain in portions of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. This was called unfavorable and led to some buying. At no time during the morning session did the market show much life. The most ac- tive months gradually improved until they were unchanged to 1 point up compared with yesterdays closing level.
 July was inactive. The dullness finally told against the market and at midday prices weer to points under yesterdays s final quotations.

TISZA SUCCEEDS
 IN PASSING BILLS
Members of Opposition in Hungarian Parliament Unable to Cry Down
 President

Budapest. Hungary, June 5.-The dead lock in parlment was broken yesterday by Count Tisza, the new president of the lower chamber, who so successfully dragooned the noisy opposltionists that the government was able to carry it's de- fence bills through all stages at single sitting.
 The tumult was terrific. All the mem bers of the opposition were supplied with whistles, trumpets, rattles or other in- struments of the most dlscordant char acter and kept up an ear-splitting din Howls of exclamation met all Count Tis- za's attempts to speak. but finally with the help of the members of tho Right he managed to carry the army bills. which had blocked parliamentary business for months. The opposition intends to pe- tition the emperor to intervene.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 5.-(Speeia1.) )--Be- cause of the prevailing good weather over the cotton belt the foreign mar kets did not follow the improvement here yesterday afternoon.
 An advance of points In Liverpool was disappointing to the local trade ana our market opened from f to 6 points lower, where. with the excep- ton of a slight rally before noon. and which was subsequently lost, it re- -mained all day.
 On the whole the crop continues to do well, but the trade is not disposed to pay any attention to any good crop reports as an influence upon prices. One hears it stated that the accounts must be good to make fair crop and that 1t Is dangerous to anticipate any de- cline.
 Liverpool is due to come la to points up in the morning.

Columbia, S. C.. June 5.--Gov. Cole L. Blease in a statement yesterday an- nounce that he will t1struct the sheriffs of Greenville and Spartanburg counties to arrest Thomas B. Fielder. the Atlanta lawyer and member of the delegation from Georgia to the democratic national con vertion at Baltimore, when the delegates pass through South Carolina en route to Baltimore.
 Rewards aggregating s2oo were offered some time ago by Governor Blease for the arrest of MT. Fielder in connection with warrants for his arrest charging Fielder with conspiracy to defraud the state of South Carolina and attempting to bribe a state official.
 h the event that MT. Fielder is arrested in Baltimore, Governor Bease states that he will issue a requisition on the gover- nor of Maryland for MT. Felder's return to this state.
