COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of
TO points in response to relatively
firm Liverpool cables and foreign buy
ing orders. The demand was supplied
around the opening figures by local or
southern sellers. and after a fairly active
start the market became comparatively
Guiet. with prices easing off or ; points
from the best. Reports of better weather
in the south and predictions that the buy
ing movement would siacken after the
close of the English market probably
inspired part of the selling on the adj
vance, but offerings were not aggressive
enough TO cause any important weakness.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE market
continued quiet late in the forenoon. with
prices easing off to within a point or two
OF last nights closing figures on the con-
tinued scattered selling.
Spot quiet: nliddling upland, 12.40 NOM
inal. Estimated receipts at all the ports
today. 1900 bales, against 21,75S last
week and 39.9oJ last year. For the week.

The market was quiet during the after
noon, but ruled steady and about , to )
points higher on private predictions Of
unfayorabie weather in the south and
more favorable spot advices.

ia} TO The Herald and News.

Special to The Herald and News.
Pomaria, Feb. 20.-On Saturday
night, February Is, at 9 o'clock, Mrs
Florence Counts breathed her last
and her spirit took its fight to the
God who gave it, On the following
day her remains were laid to rest i'll
St Paul's church cemtery, she being
= faithful member since early child
hood of that church. A large congre-
cation of friends and relatives assem-
bled to pay this last tribute to gooo
woman. The funeral services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Y. Won
A. Riser.
Mrs. Counts had been in bad health
for a long time with dropsy. All was
done for her that skillful physicians
and loving friends and relatives could
do, but all was in vain.
Mrs. Counts was before her mar
riage a Miss Livingston, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Livingston. She
was married to Mr.. Henry +.
Counts in December, 1885, and unto
them were born four children, two
girls and two boys; one son died in
infancy; she is survived by the other
three. She is also survived by four
brothers, Messrs J. H. and J. P. Llv-
ingston, of Pomaria; D. A. Livingston,
of Newberry, and Johnnie Livingston,
of Columbia. Mrs Counts was %
years of age.
To know her was to love her. She
was a Christian wife devoted moth
er, a kind friend and neighbor, such
that the community in which she liv-
ed and the home from which she has
departed will greatly Miss. Yet the
world is better for her having lived
in it. She bore all her pain and trials
with Christian fortitude, and at the
last made the remark: 1T is all right
with my God" 1t gave the writer good
pleasure to know her, she being per-
haps one Of the best friends he had.
The deepest sympathy is extended to
the bereaved family The grave was
covered with beautiful floral offer

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Literary Societies Discuss and Set
tie Big Questions.-Ob>erNe Wash
ington'S birthday.

The two literary societies Of the
high school has been doing splendid
work this year The boys society has
departed from the regular work of a
society with the opening of the gen.
5ral assembly, and it has been dis
cussing the more important bills that
have been introduced into the State
legislature. In order to do this work
in the real spirit of a deliberative
body, the society formed a State SEN
ate Each member of the society re-
presents some county Of the State, and
has the duties and privileges of a real
senator
The senate thus formed has already
discussed compulsory education and
woman suffrage, and on next Friday
evening the question Of medical eX-
animation of school children will be
settled.
1t is a pleasure to see the enthusi-
astic spirit with which these young
men enter these discussions and their
courtesy to each other in Yielding the
floor takes considerably of the spirit
Of real deliberative body. The men,
bers have become 50 interested in the
work, that when the time arrives for
adjournment motion after motion to
adjourn is defeated.
The schools will celebrate Wash
ingtons birthday Friday night in the
city opera house at $50. This
will consist Of songs and an address
by Dr. E. P. Jones pastor of the First
Baptist church Of Newberry The
public is cordially invited to attend.
There is Io admission.
The committee that is charged with
the duty of selecting and purchasing
pictures for the high school audito-
rum met Saturday morning in the
superintendent office and made a
magnificent selection Eleven pic
lures were selected at net cost Of
$1,000. These pictures are photo
graphs and copies Of the great master
pieces and come on the best canvas,
and with the latest and most attrac-
tive moulding. These pictures will be
purchased from Hegger of New York.
This is possibly the best house in this
country to deal with in securing high
class pictures for schools. All the
pictures at Winthrop College were
bought of this same house. When the
pictures arrive and are hung we cor
daily invite all our patrons and any
interested party to visit the high
school and see them. The auditorium
is open from 9 a. M to p. m. and
we would be glad for all our town
people to examine these pictures.
