New Orleans Cotton.


 New Orleans, July 2.-Cotton open led steady to 10 points up, compared with yesterdays close. Cables were about as due. The market had a good tone on continued rains in the east ern belt, and also on private bureau reports on condition which indicated less crop improvement than was ex- pected by the bearish element.

There was no trading in July.
 Futures opened steady. July, 11.22 M1125c; August, 12.06c; September, 11.S4M11.S6c; October, 11.64c; Decem- Der, 11.64c bid; January, 11.66@ 11.6Sc March, 11.75c.
 The market was quiet but steady throughout the morning session. The forecast of showers for the eastern belt caused prices to take on tend ency to advance. The weather re- ports for the last week were called favorable by some traders and unfav- orable by some traders and unfavor+ able by others, but the trade as whole did not like the summary of conditions in the eastern belt which bore out claims of too much rain and too little sunshine The market was steady at noon at the highest levels of the day, points over yesterdays close,

Twelve able jurymen in room number
 seven.
 One got away and then there were
 eleven"
 Eleven jurors sat and determined a damage suit yesterday in the third di- vision of the city court, notwithstanding the fact that in accordance with the GUS tom of time immemorial. F men good and true had been selected
 The case at bar was a damage suit against one of. the large corporations of the district and the attorneys for the plaintiff had demanded struck jury.
 The jury of 12 was selected and empan- eled. Previous to going into the case Judge Walker declared a recess of five minutes to give the attorneys an oppor- tunity to prepare certain papers. As lhe judge stepped from the rostrum he was approached by youthful looking juror, with a decidedly troubled look on his who asked to be excused from serving on the jury just selected.
 What is the natter" queried his honor: "are you sick?'
 Well, not exactly, judge, but I will be if I have to serve on that jury"
 What objection have you to the jury?'
 None at all, judge, but I declare 1t Is almost impossible for me to serve"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-17
JUROR WAS IN BAD FIX

''yop have been regularly drawn and regularly empaneled and l cant possi- bly excuse you, unless you show some good and sufficient reason"
 The young man was plainly embar- rassed; he stood one one foot, then on the other, then finally said
 Judge, it's like this, have a most important engagement tomorrow morning and in the event that the jury got tied up in the case about to be tried l would be in an awful fix
 What kind of an engagement?"
 The young fellow blushed like a school girl and said .
 'I am to be married in the morning.
 Judge Walker gave sympathetic smile, and calling the opposing counsel stated the young mans predicament and plea The learned attorney promptly decided in favor of Cupid and agreed to dispense with the services of the near-benedlet and to try the case with the remaining Il jurors.
 The cloud lifted from the young mans brow, he thanked the gentlemen for their kindness and consideration, and after re- ceiving the congratulations of the court, the attorneys and his fellow jurors, he left the courtroom with happy smile on his now beaming countenanee.

UNDERWOOD IS MAN
 SAYS SIDNEY MARCH
New York Banker Says PeO- pie Admire Him Because
 He Sticks to Duty

'I was here two months ago and told The Age-Herald that oscar Underwood was the strongest man before the nnan- cial people for the presidency, That was copied in New York city, and when returned home everyone said 1t was cor rect absolutely
 That was the opening sentence of short interview had with Sidney II. March, the well known member of the banking firm of Ladenburg Thalman of New York, who was here yesterday vis itine Mr and Mrs. otto Marx. lie was en route to New York from New orleans.
 "Mr. Underwood has grown stronger and is growing stronger" said the New Yorker. who is director in the Birmjng ham Railway, Light and Power company, and Loveman. Joseph X Loeb. "He is certain to be the democratic standard bearer. one thing above all others that attracts a business man is the fellow that sticks to the job and works. oscar tn derwood. although widely discussed as the leading candidate for the presidency, has not permitted that boosting to sway him one day from the Congress and from the work he knows he must perform. That has appealed to more business men than one can imagine Such tenaclty of purpose and fidelity to duty when oppor- tuntles for personal aggrandizement are so frequent is an attribute that will lead thousands of thinking men to the Under N ood banner. In New York We want man, not a party machine. This propo- sition of voting for stick because he is the party's choice is buncombe. and is a matter of the past. The thinking men want a candidate whom they can trust and they will break any party rules 10 get the right man. so independent have become the American people
 MT, March said after divesting himself of political and Underwood sentiment that business was good, the outlook fine and the chances for Birmingham to get all the money wanted for betterment su- perior to any time.
